In a world where magic exists and pirates roams the seas, lies a tale of a princess and a pirate. Even years after his wife's tragic death, King Jude Heartfilia continues to drown his sorrows in alcohol and leave his kingdom in shambles. During one night of drunken gambling, the King sells his daughter Lucy, whom he hasn't been able to look at since his wife's death, to the infamous pirate captain named Natsu Dragneel as a payment to his large sum of gambling debts. Will Lucy adjust to the pirate life? Will she resent her father for his drunken mistake? Or will she find happiness, friendship, and maybe even love within the Fairy Tail crew? Join Lucy, Natsu, and the rest of the Fairy Tail crew in Payment to a Pirate, a story of friendship, love, betrayal, sadness, and maybe even a little bit of romance. (Wow, I suck at descriptions. I honestly had a better one, but it was mysteriously deleted.)

Well here's what you really want to read first THE SUMMERY ! : Exciting huh ? Probably not still gonna show it though :) "For just one month... please, pretend that we're married." A sudden proposal to enter a fake marriage just to get Igneel off his case was more then shocking. Especially since he asked a complete stranger to marry him! Pretending to be newlyweds started out as a dreadful task, but when you spend everyday together, you end up thinking the opposite. -NatsuxLucy Thanks to LaylaPanda for letting me publish this! ❤️

Frat boy Natsu gets dared by another frat, Gray to ask out campus bookworm, Lucy Heartfillia. It goes pretty well until Gray spills the truth during a drunken conversation with the blonde...

Lisanna was back. And that alone ruined it. It ruined Lucy's chance to be with Natsu. Now they're dating and she feels so alone. More alone than her time in the Heartfilia Konzern. What made matters worst was that she received a letter from her father, which she hasn't spoken since she ran away. He said a Lord named Takeshi Nakamura wanted to claim the Heartfilia Company her father owned. He obviously didn't want to give up all his hard work so they made a compromise that Lucy will marry him and work together as leaders in the company. Although Jude knows that she loves a certain Salamander, if she refuses this offer, Takeshi will kill anyone who stands in his way; Lucy, her father, and Fairy Tail. Lucy must make a sacrifice for her fellow nakama to be happy, even if she won't be. Will Natsu and their fellow Fairy Tail wizards realize fast enough to save Lucy? *I don't own Fairy Tail!* *Originally written by a Fanfiction.net author named "tiffywiffyfluffykitty" with my edits!*
