Fairy Tail by Hiro Mashima is one of the most iconic Manga and has millions of fans all over the globe.
Being one of the most popular Animanga, Fairy Tail has fans out there shipping their favorite characters all the time.
Although few of the pairs were made canon, many of the characters didn’t end up together at the end despite being heavily implied throughout the plot.
Therefore fans want to explore relationships between characters who didn’t get the chance to have made canon in the story.
That is where fanfic stories come in. If you want to explore relationships between different Fairy Tail characters beyond the canon story, then the world of fanfiction has a lot to offer.
Fanfics aren’t bound to canon only. There are different hypothetical scenarios set up in each fanfic as preferred by the writer of the story.
For example, what if Natsu was raised by Erza instead of Igneel? What if the whole Fairy Tail story was set up in a real-world high school? These are the kind of plots you might come across.
There are many popular Fairy Tail fanfiction pairs. The most popular one obviously is Natsu x Lucy, or simply LuNa/NaLu.
However, there is another pair being searched for every now and then.
It is Natsu x Erza Fanfiction Stories, or simply Natza fanfic stories. Luna is the most favorite pairing, but Natsu x Erza is also gaining popularity.
