- Description:
A Papalogia AU
When a startling discovery drains the dreaded Black Dragon of the Apocalypse of his anger, Acnologia is left wandering through the centuries without clear purpose. Somehow, it is a path that leads to five young dragon slayers coming into his care and to the joining of a guild of human mages—who are also mostly children. No, he has no idea what he is doing, but if it is what it takes to atone for his sins, then he is willing to try.
However, with the shadows of the Dragon War still lingering, the plight of the dragon slayers is not over. But this time, Acnologia found something to protect, and he would fight the gods themselves if it would keep them safe. Unfortunately, it is a resolve that may prove to be true.
Acnologia and the dragon slayers, and their journey alongside Fairy Tail.

Summary
When a startling discovery pertaining to the war drains the dreaded Black Dragon of the Apocalypse of his anger, Acnologia is left wandering through the centuries without clear purpose. His misanthropic days end, however, when a young dragon slayer winds up in his care. Stumbling into the plot of time-misplaced children, Acnologia is determined to find the rest of the dragon slayer children to ensure some measure of their safety. He never imagined he would get so attached along the way, and he never even dreamed of gaining a family. Acnologia may not know what he's doing, but he's sure of one thing: he'll do anything in his power to protect those five kids—even if that means protecting them from himself.
The 'Papalogia AU' that no one asked for.

Fairy Tail is a guild that looks to the future, but its people have their share of ghosts. Acnologia knows this well, and he is not one to pry. However, when the discovery of a new dragon slayer leads to the resurfacing of a past that Erza tried to keep buried, Acnologia sets his mind to killing this ghost once and for all, because the Tower of Heaven still has teeth. At this point, it might just be his life's mission to clean up Zeref's messes, especially when Fairy Tail is always in the crossfire.
