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.)

Resfeber: The restless race of the travelers heart before the journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together; a travel fever that can manifest into an illness. {Lucy} I don't know how our sappy love stories turned into some sort of crazy adventure thing. Like, I literally have no clue what happened. I guess we were lucky it happened though, because if we didn't leave, we would have gone through some deep shit with all of our parents. Erza wanted to get away from it all, so Jellal threw a dart at the map which wound up in Natsu, Erza, Jellal, Gray, and Juvia pilling into my Jeep Commander going to California, somewhere in the middle of the woods. But, our group got separated, in an ironic way, but we got lost for days. Besides that, Natsu and I were trying to get through a classic Romeo and Juliet story, and Jellal and Erza were being held up in a Rapunzel story, and Juvia and Gray had a secret "friends with benefits" deal. That's how a classic love story is right?
