Why Angst Jerza Fanfiction Works So Well
Jellal Fernandes/Erza Scarlet — He named her Scarlet for her hair in a slave tower as children, then became the possessed tormentor she had to fight.

Sometimes you want to feel deeply - angst delivers emotional catharsis and meaningful character exploration.
