History Fanfic / AlternateTailSeries

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the change in match-ups during the S-Class Trials (Cana and Levy vs Merudy and Lisanna, Mest and Kagura vs Mira, Lucy and Natsu vs Erza, Elfman and Evergreen vs Freed and Bickslow, and Lyon and Loki taking the free pass), the passing teams are parallel to the ones in Cana (With Gajeel, Lyon, Cana, Lucy, and Elfman being the passed candidates).

** After Lyon defeats Merudy, Lisanna notices that the Abyss Breaker spell is slowing down. Abyss Breaker is powered by masters of the four elements Fire, Earth, Water, and Air. She and the others realize that since Merudy's element was Aether, she was actually substituting as a power source, and one of the two remaining Elementals of Phantom Lord is outside the mobile headquarters.

* EveryoneWentToSchoolTogether: Fairy Tail's ace Gildarts, Makarov's estranged son and Jellal's father Ivan, Lyon's mentor and Ultear's mother Ur, Lucy's mother Layla, and Erza's mother Irene were part of a team under the teaching of Levy's grandfather Joseph. In canon, Gildarts has interacted with Ur, as he mentioned to Gray in the ''Ice Trail'' spin-off, and no relation was mention with Ivan when they were both guildmates. Meanwhile, Layla has never met any of them in her life, while Irene [[spoiler: was an over 400-year-old Dragon Slayer.]]

* TokenNonhuman: Pantherlily for the core protagonist for much of the story, before Carla joined alongside Kagura.

The "Alternate Tail Series" is a Manga/FairyTail SeriesFic by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/3306596/DigiXBot DigiXBot]]. Here instead of Lucy meeting Natsu and Happy in Hargeon, the story begins with Levy Mcgarden meeting Gajeel Redfox and Pantherlily. The three later form a team with fellow Fairy Tail wizards Lyon Vastia and Mirajane Strauss.

Alternate Tail also has a ChristmasEpisode written in 2019, aptly named [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13461403/1/An-Alternate-Christmas-Tail An Alternate Christmas Tail]].

! The Alternate Tail Series contains examples of:

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange:
** Mira, see Adaptational Badass above.
** Mira's Edolas counterpart, Mirajane Rheas, has taken a step into this as well as AdaptationalVillainy.
** The Edolas counterparts of Lisanna and Lyon. Though never seen, Edolas!Lisanna was described as a gentle, kind-hearted girl like her Earthland self, while Edolas!Lyon was said to have an unrequited love to Juvia, just like Gray Surge. In Alternate Tail, Edolas!Lisanna is a loud punk while Edolas!Lyon is cold to the affections of his Merudy.

* RedOniBlueOni: Gajeel is the brash red oni to both calculating IcePerson Lyon and noble Exceed Pantherlily.

* BaitAndSwitch: While searching through Joseph Mcgarden's private study, Gajeel is seemingly petrified by the content in a book, which greatly worries Levy until Gajeel starts laughing at the sight of Gildarts's terrible handwriting.

** Hiro Mashima's Manga/RaveMaster is initially seen as a story read by Levy in a flashback.

* NotHisSled: Despite sticking to the StationOfCanon, they are a few distinctions from the original story...

** Mira fights Ultear on Tenrou Island, while Lyon defeats Azuma.

* RoleSwapPlot: The main premise of the story, featuring Gajeel with Natsu, Levy with Lucy, Pantherlily with Happy, Lyon with Gray, Mira with Erza, Laxus with Jellal, Rogue with Romeo, Merudy with Juvia, and Wendy and Kagura.

** Played with Lyon. While all of his spells involve ice, many of them can recreate the power of their animal counterparts. He can create dolphins capable of echolocation or scorpions with their own form of ice-based poison.

* RoleSwapAU: The main premise of the story, featuring Gajeel with Natsu, Levy with Lucy, Pantherlily with Happy, Lyon with Gray, Mira with Erza, Laxus with Jellal, Rogue with Romeo, Merudy with Juvia, and Wendy and Kagura.

[[folder: Fairy Tail: An Alternate Tail]]
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
** As she did not "die" like in canon, Lisanna appears in the second chapter as Fairy Tail's barmaid.
** Ooba Baabasaama appears during the Guild Master conference, sitting next to Makarov, Bob, and Goldmine.
** Angel uses her Angel Summoning Magic during the Nirvana Arc
** While battling Merudy, Juvia uses [[spoiler: Second Origin to increase her power. However, it seems to be quite volatile, as the use damages her body.]]
** Frosch appears between the Edolas and Tenrou Island Arc running away from poachers. He later befriends Ryos and joins the Conbolt family.
* AllYourPowersCombined: Downplayed example during [[spoiler: Tenrou Island, where in the fight against Azuma, Lyon uses an [[ElementalArmor Ice Sentry]] that contains traits of his teammates(Gajeel's scale, Levy's Bogha, Lily and Carla's wings, Mira's demon tail, and Kagura's sword) as well as using Ice-Make versions of Elfman's beast arm, Cana's cards, and Merudy's Maguilty blades]].
* AwesomebutImpractical: [[spoiler: While rare and powerful, Jellal notes that his Cosmic element means he needs to recharge his magic the same way as other wizards because anything cosmic is far rarer compared to Gajeel (iron) and Natsu (fire).]]
* BadassBoast: Alternate Tail contains plenty of original boasts.
** Levy gives one and shows how much Fairy Tail has helped her grow.
--->'''Thomas''': What did you hope to gain by being with those Fairies?! How can a bunch of drunk wizards who love destruction benefit you? By teaching you it's okay to be pathetic?!\\
'''Levy''': No. They taught me to be fierce. They taught me to remain calm. They taught me to be noble. They taught me to be brave. And they taught me, to protect my family!
** After Gajeel ate the Increpferrum from Laxus, Zero comments that Gajeel is now a sinner like him. Gajeel's response?
--->'''Gajeel''': Every member Fairy Tail has their own batch of sins. But you know what makes me and Laxus different from you lot?\\
'''Zero''': No, I don't. Do enlighten me then.\\
'''Gajeel''': Is that when it comes to our sins, we actually do something about them!
** Lyon gave one right before he defeats [[spoiler: Azuma]].
--->'''Lyon''': You can take our magic. But you can't take, OUR SPIRIT!
* BatmanGambit: Gajeel (transformed into mini-copies of himself by Gildarts) seemingly launched a full-on assault on Gildarts to allow time for Lily to prepare an attack spell. This was actually meant for, one, Gajeel to be turned back into his full self and, two, let Lily distract Gildarts while Gajeel prepares a Secret Art Spell.
* BloodFromTheMouth: Gajeel goes through this whenever he tries to eat incompatible iron.
* BloodSplatteredInnocents: Kagura gets sprayed with [[spoiler: Gajeel's blood]] after [[spoiler: his devouring and use of God Slayer Iron, which was poisonous for him.]]
* BrickJoke:
** In the first chapter, Levy combines two "STORM" spells to push Tora's ship onto the shore, but the combined spells caused it to grow out of her control and create a wave that sends the ship ''and'' her and Lily crashing onto the beach. During the Galuna arc, Levy intentionally uses "STORM" against Sherry, who merely takes control of the spell and turns it into her Storm Doll. However, Levy counters by tossing a "CHAOS" spell into the Storm Doll, making it grow out of control and take down all of them.
** Kain Hakaru's doll Mister Cursey is taken by Gajeel and the others and given to Happy, who uses it to fight Rustyrose until it is ripped apart by monster flies created by the dark mage. Later, when Kain arrives to attack the camp, he sees Mister Cursey's remains and blames Fairy Tail for it, refusing to believe that his comrade Rustyrose was responsible.
