Ever since Natsu and Lisanna got together, things haven't felt the same. The distance between Lucy and Team Natsu grew slowly at first, then all at once, until she realised there was a whole world outside the guild, Instead of sitting around feeling sorry for herself, Lucy decides to take job after job, pushing herself out into the world.
But the world outside Magnolia isn't as empty as she expected the horizons bring new friends, adventures and possibility lovers.
On her travels, Lucy keeps running into familiar faces some she expected, some she didn't, and some who look at her in ways she's never noticed before. A lightning dragon slayer who shows up at the right moments. An ice mage who's steadier than she remembered. A shadow dragon slayer who understands quiet better than most. A white dragon slayer who challenges her in all the wrong (and right) ways. maybe even some more surprises and adventures
Each encounter pulls her in a different direction. Each connection makes her question what she really wants. And each moment reminds her that there's a whole world waiting for her beyond the guild doors. As Lucy grows stronger and starts to see herself differently, she has to face the question she's been avoiding.
Is she ready to move on from Natsu...
or will the past drag her back before she can decide?

Fairytales with Fairy Tail (part 2) Completed
"Levy," Erza asks, "Do you still happen to have that book?" Levy stills for a moment, thinking. "Actually, I might!" She moves the giant book from her lap-not without some struggle- and jumps up from her previous seat on the couch next to Juvia. The other girls waited excitedly, chattering about random happenings around town. The sudden rise in visiting relatives, for instance. It seems that the sudden increase in jobs is a direct result of this strange occasion. "Lu, Juvia, Erza come quick!" Levy shouted urgently. The useless chatter instantly ceased as all three girls rushed in the direction the petite bookworm went, the attic. "Levy?! What is it?! What's wrong?!" Erza beat the other two into the musty room and instantly a very audible gasp came from her tall frame. After a great deal of struggle Juvia and Lucy managed to push the redhead aside so they could squeeze into the room. When they finally made it neither of them could believe their eyes. The whole dusty attic was bathed in a bright, magical light. It seemed to swallow everything whole as the girls stood there in shock. Erza was the first to snap out of her shock. "Levy, what is going on? What is causing this?" "It's the book, Erza, the book of fairytales! Something's wrong! They're missing-" Levy tried to warn them but the book started producing winds near the speed of a hurricane, drowning out her words. Papers and random clutter flew around the room in a whirlwind of debris. "Levy! Girls, we have to get out of here, fast!" Erza shouted over the wind. But before they could run the light grew to blinding levels and the girls' visions went black. ~~~<•>~~~ *Trigger Warning* - Mental and physical abuse. *DISCLAIMER* I do not own Fairy Tail or the cover shown above.
