Ciaossu! Newbie here.^^ Fairy Tail is my number anime/manga and I've been reading a lot of FT fanfics lately so I thought, "why not write my own?". Just so you know, JellalxErza is my favorite couple in FT, however Sting is my favorite male character. So, this pairing is basically based on my two favorite characters and it deeply saddened me that I could rarely find ErzaxSting ships, 's why I made this fic. ^^ I really do hope that you could rate and review this so I could get more advices and inspirations on how my first fic ever would go, okay? Thank you so much guys.^^ (Slightly AU, Slightly OOC)

I do not own Fairy Tail or any of the characters.

"Oh, no. And the crowd goes wild! It's Erza Scarlet versus 100 monsters of pandemonium. Will she be able to maintain her bearing and grace after going through half of them?"

"Go Erza! Show them what you can do!"

"This is what a fairy tail mage is!"

"Aye sir!"

"I kinda remember her from 7 years ago, it's really her! It's Titania! Titania of Fairy Tail!"

"Oh, now that you've mentioned it."

"Finish them all Fairy Tail!"

"Meeeeeen...!"

"Gehee!"

"..."

~ding~

"Oh, I remember now. Scarlet, it's the color of your hair."

"Even

"Titania Erza"

Erza wiped the tears streaming down from her artificial eye.

"A dream, huh? I'm dreaming about that again. A long forgotten shattered piece of my past self.", she softly whispered to herself. She fell asleep in the living room couch again.

Scanning her surroundings, she deduced that it must be around 7 in the evening.

"He's still not home. It's already this late. Well, it's not really something to be surprised about. It's not like he has a reason to come running back home after work anyway. And it's not like he wants to live in this huge house with me. If not for the fact that we both own this colossal piece of property, I doubt if he'll ever stay here with me."

Remembering her dream, a sudden gust of pain pierced her wounded heart.

"Titania, huh?"

A soft sob escaped her lips as she reminisce the glory of her past self. The memories she had as Titania of Fairy Tail. The fame she once had as one of the strongest S-class mage of Fiore. The pride she once held as a child of the strongest guild. The happiness she once felt with her nakamas in the halls of their guild. The warmth, love and bond she once strove to protect with her life. All of it are nothing but memories now. All gone from her and never to return.

"...a fairy that should have fallen, soars?"

But this time, painfully wounded, Titania was not able to soared back up like before. Instead she has fallen deep and hard to oblivion with no chance of coming back.

"...like a blooming Scarlet Flower?"

But this time, Titania was not able to bloom. She has miserably became a dying Scarlet Flower. Dried out of life with no reason to live.

From the corner of her eye she saw a shiny strand of her scarlet hair in the couch. She picked it up and examined it closely.

"...it's the color of your hair."

Erza could no longer restrain the pain collecting in her chest as she saw a memory of a very special person in the color of her hair. River of tears escaped her eyes as her sobs became louder which shook her fragile form. She once took pride and glee at the mention of her name. But now, even the one thing that contained the memory of her beloved was taken away from her.

"Erza...Scarlet. I am... Erza Scarlet."

It was he who gave her the name Scarlet. It was he who first appreciated the beauty of her hair. "Scarlet", the only memory she held of him, her name, was also gone now.

For she is not Erza Scarlet anymore. She has now become...

Erza Eucliffe.

She now bears the name of the man she didn't even know.

"...but, if it's for the sake of the guild, I won't mind. No matter how many times I change my name."

But abandoning "Erza Scarlet" was not something she could easily accept and do.

...but, after everything that have happened, I became useless to the guild. After that tragic event, I lost everything. And marrying Sting Eucliffe is the only thing I could do to be of use to the guild again."

It was barely a year and a half when the Grand Magic Games ended and when they had managed to seal the dragons and defeat Future Rogue. But now, here she is, in a very sorry state.

"I don't know what Simon and Grandpa Rob will say when they see me like this. I don't know what the people would say when they see "Titania" in a state like this."

But she has no choice. Destiny was just too harsh and she could not alter it. So, she accepted her fate without complaints. But the pain and sadness just keeps on building up everyday.

"...if only he didn't die. If only..."

Erza buried her face in her hands.

It all started one year ago when...

Jellal died.

So, how did it go? R and R please, onegai shimasu?

2nd Chapter coming up! Aye sir!
