Have you ever looked at a candle? The way it flickers and glows with such anticipation and excitement for life as if it can't wait to grow into a raging fire.
  
  He had that look in his eyes. That burning want to grow stronger, to see what was just around the next corner in his life. For a while, I was what that corner, the thing he always chased, the thing he spent all his time looking for. The thing he'd be so excited to see when he finally reached me and started a new adventure.
  
  Have you ever looked at a candle? The way it flickers and glows as it tries and tries to grow stronger, even though it can't. Candles always seem so happy and lively and excited, but over time their wax drips away and their fire burns out.
  
  He was just like that. He was just like that with me, especially. The excitement in his eyes when he saw me, the laughter, the adventure, the happiness... It was all with me. But even fire dies.
  
  And we all know that a fire once burned doesn't come back.

When we meet again by Jade_Cole
22 parts Complete Mature
"Natsu, you make me happy. And I don't know how I could've gotten through this week without you. Even with me not being able to speak you didn't plead with me to get me to talk or force me to talk. It made me love you even more for that." I paused for a moment, feeling the lump in my throat form, signaling that I was going to cry again. I took a shaky breath and looked at him with pleading eyes. "I don't know how I'm going to get through how ever long it is until I see you again. Please convince your parents to come with me! Please Natsu!" After Lucy and Natsu had just confessed their love for each other. Lucy finds out that her parents pass away in a fatal car accident. A week later after being taken in by the Dragneel family, on Natsu's thirteenth birthday, Lucy's sister Michelle comes to take Lucy home with her to Paris to live with her and her husband. Lucy stays in Paris, only keeping in touch with one friend during her four years there. On her sixteenth birthday, Lucy finally moves back to Magnolia. With Natsu heavy on her mind, she gets a job and begins attending the same high school as Natsu. What happens when they get assigned to be partners on a school project after not speaking for four long years? And finding out she just happens to have gotten a job at the same place Natsu works? Will their love blossom as quickly as when they were twelve? Or will they never be meant to be with each other ever again. Find out in When We Meet Again. **I don't own any of these characters, only the plot of this story. The characters belong to Fairy Tails creator Hiro Mashima.

Mermaid Tail {A NaLu AU} by Cryptic_Eyes
16 parts Complete Mature
In a world of magic, legends, pirates, and mythical beings, Fiore is a kingdom long forgotten. Within the deep blue of its ocean, the Obsidian, lies a lone mermaid by the name of Lucy Heartfilia. She has run from home, a home overrun by her corrupt father, and now roams the seas with her best friend Plue, a shapeshifter in the form of a white dolphin. One day, she dares the forbidden, and climbs to land. There, she possesses the legs of a mortal, and can roam as something she is fated to never be. However, when Trackers kidnap Lucy and try to sell her for her magical abilities, she manages an escape and is now on the run from the Trackers, being put under a spell that no longer allows her tail to reappear until nightfall. Stuck in a foreign place with Landwalkers, she must return home to have the curse lifted by her father, but she needs help to do it. However, she didn't expect a pink-haired sea captain to be it. Natsu Dragneel is the captain of his beautiful Fairy Tail, but he searches for something most valuable: the pink Obsidian stone, a rare and valuable treasure that could pay millions of jewels. But the pink-haired adventurer isn't in it for the money; no, that is a simple bonus. Natsu is in it for its wishful properties, able to grant a one and only wish to whoever takes it from the bearer. The only problem: he has no idea what it looks like, or where to find it. All he knows is that he needs it desperately. But, a beautiful maiden with the wish to return to her home in the middle of the Obsidian Sea, with Trackers after her thirsty for blood...that might be a good place to start. With an adventure full of sirens, fairies, cats and mages, the Captain and his Mermaid may just be caught by their enemies...while falling in love in the process.

13 parts Complete Mature

🥀💔❌ Based on my true story. Everything in this book really happened. I decided to tell it using fairy tail characters because for a lot of them their personalities match. Like me and Lucy and my love and Natsu. ❌💔🥀 Lucy's best friend Mira convinced her to try to date sting because sting has a huge crush on her. When Lucy calls it off with sting he decides to make her life hell. He stalks her and verbally tortures her. One day sting shows up with his best friend Natsu. Natsu and Lucy instantly fall in love and this enrages sting. Sting stops at nothing to separate them. His obsessiveness eventually costs someone their life. Who? How does this love story end? You'll have to read to find out. **Disclaimer** I claim no rights to fairy tail, it's characters or any part of it.
