Fly or Fall
is a Winx Club based fanfic written by LoveLoveLovix.
Based after the events of season 4. When the Wizards of the Black Circle are defeated, magic begins to return to Earth and former ordinary Earth girls find themselves manifesting Winx powers. As a result, Roxy decides to delay her departure for Alfea in order to help find and help these new fairies. However, a new danger decides to reveal itself along the way in the form of The Apprentices of the Black Circle, looking to continue what their mentors were trying to do before they were defeated by the Winx Club: capture all Earth fairies and steal their powers...
Fly or Fall provides examples of:
- Avenging the Villain: The Apprentices of the Black Circle are motivated partly by this and partly by wanting to get the powers their mentors sought for themselves.
- Beach Episode: Reconstructed when Victoria, Safeyah, Lynn and Nakisha find Nerine and Naida at the beach, only to have The Apprentices of the Black Circle attack them there.
- Big Bad Duumvirate: The Apprentices of the Black Circle: Nyklus, Killian, Gunner, and Trudric.
- Cat Fight: Ildri vs Avalon (Though this one wasn't played for Fanservice).
- Dark Magical Girl: Rider... even though she doesn't really seem to know it.
- Debut Queue: Each new fairy is introduced in their own individual chapter, seen from their point of view.
- Empathic Environment: As soon as The Apprentices show up on the Thessaloniki beach where Nerine, Naida, and their friends are spending the day, it goes from warm and sunny to dark and stormy.
- Giant Wall of Watery Doom: Just after she transforms for the first time, Naida does this with the seawater to try and save her little sister from the Apprentices.
- A Good Name for a Rock Band: Star's band, G-2-B-2, is supposedly the mixed-around initials of the band's much longer and much dorkier sounding real name, Girl Band Band Geek.
- The Magic Comes Back: Fairy magic is returning to Earth...
- Multinational Team: The new fairies come from all around the world.
- Near-Death Experience: Amanda unlocks her fairy form when she almost got into an accident with her car and barely escapes.

- Original Character: The story while it does feature Roxy in a prominent role, also has Original Characters as the main part of the plot as well.
