Perhaps in the fanfiction, Gray uses the Ice Shell to enter a frozen dimension where he has to face his inner demons. This could lead to a great character development arc as he battles his fears and emerges stronger, both in terms of his magic and his mental state. He could then bring back new knowledge or powers from this dimension to help Fairy Tail in their battles against stronger enemies.
Gray's character might develop a new level of determination. After using the Ice Shell, he may realize the limits of his current power and be more determined to train and grow stronger. He could also become more in - tune with the emotional side of his magic, as the Ice Shell is not just a physical technique but also has an emotional undertone related to sacrifice and protection. This could lead to him using his ice magic in more nuanced and powerful ways in future battles.

But then through various adventures together, they come to understand and respect each other, and this forms a deep bond of friendship that is central to the fanfiction.
