**shortlisted for Wattys2017** Technically speaking, I died when I was seventeen. What should have been just another typical day out on the water with my friends, turned ugly fast when a freak storm came out of nowhere and I was thrown overboard. Had it not been for my damned dress, I could have swam to safety, but no, every day had to be a fashion show, and my dress got caught on rocks, holding me down until I drowned. I thought right before I died I would at least get to see a montage of my fabulous life, all the parties and romantic dates with my perfect boyfriend, Asher, but nope again. Instead, all I saw was a hideous sea monster smiling to me as my lungs filled with water. When I woke up in a cave in the middle of the ocean, that sea witch made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I could go back to my perfect life, and my adorable boyfriend, all I had to do was give the sea witch two years of my service, and then she'd free me from my fate. It seemed easy enough at the time, but can the price to live actually come at too high of a cost? Highest rank #5 in paranormal

(Not a NaLi FanFic. I'm already in the Tartaros Arc, by the way.) Lucy found a perfect job request. She begged Natsu and the whole to team to join her with this mission since her rent deadline is coming near. In a sudden turn of events, Lissana joined in as well. But no one knew that this job will make Natsu pick between Lissana and Lucy. If he picked one girl, she lives. But the other one will vanish for good. Who would he pick and what will he do if the other girl suffers and vanish for good... just like when he lost her before? -- A story based on a short theory of mine --
