There's a couple spinoff series. One is Wendy-centric and I haven't picked up.
Another, Fairy Girls, is a one-volume story that takes place just after the Grand Magic Games arc (during the party), staring Lucy, Erza, Wendy, and Juvia. It's not by Hiro, but it does a pretty solid job at capturing the FT feel, and it ties in a bit to the corrupt Council Chairman and such.

Wow...if for nothing else, Hiro check bases in his narrative. No I'm curious as to whether or not he'd been reading our posts here.
Probably not, it's fairly natural questions.
Oh and Lucy got here own Kagura so there's that...yay?
That's some help against the huge odds they're facing.
People who consider Erza to be the Fairy Tail Mary Sue really need to stop and realize that Laxus is so much worse than her in pretty much every regard. There is absolutely never any tension of fun when Laxus fights and he can handle pretty much anything thrown his way. I utterly loath this character.
