Pairings will be varied, as many saw, I don't latch onto just one and run with it, I'm flexible…though Van's a little shite and decided he wanted Lucy a bit more than the other boys lol

That Said. I don't own the Pradesh boys, Desna's Version of the FT world...or FT itself. ..The core of Team Natsu wouldn't be so abusive if I did.

Anyone is free to use these prompts, they're simply out there on the Internet, I just grabbed the one that I liked some of the prompts a lot...and a break from a large story can always help give a person new insight.

Also, if anyone feels like continuing the small snippets, feel free. these are random "story seeds", quick stories to perhaps build off in the future..only thing I'd like is to be able to see it.

...because dark ideas. lol this one will have a companion piece.

Memory (companion to Snuff)

The woman had been cleaned up and put in the infirmary of White Sea. They were looking to see who she was and Kaleb had a very good idea, but her mind was in tatters. The only reason her hand would have been skinned like that would have been to take off something that identified her, typically a guild mark.

Thane watched his guildmaster and then carefully slid a copy of Fiore's Sorcerer's Weekly to him. There on the cover was the woman. Lucy Heartfilia. The Light of Fairy Tail. Well, this was going to cause a headache, he could already tell.

He'd called his brother, face impassive, "Bix, are you guys missing something?"

"man, we're Fairy Tail, we're always missing something, bro…"

The Mindbender inwardly rolled his eyes, "let me clarify, a blonde someone."

"Shit!" Kaleb watched the pain in his brother's face, "ya found her body? That was a fucked up film they sent us…but we just…don't know where they were to take them out. No marks to follow, nothing, bro."

Kaleb studied his brother, "we found her. Cris was able to bring her back, we got lucky it was the night before the full moon."

"tell me you at least tore them apart."

He gave his brother a small smile over the com, "Well before we found her, but yes."

"Great, we'll send someone to come pick her up…"

"about that…" Kaleb took a breath, "she's got no memories...well, some but…"

"kaleb, bro…how bad?"

Kaleb watched the nervous look on his brother's face, letting out a breath, "her last clear memory is of being rescued, by a woman with a pink guildmark."

"oh, right…they said something about a book that took them to the past…she was like…ten, at most!"

Kaleb nodded, "she's got all her knowledge, but she just has no recollection of what she's been doing. Knows each of the keys that are brought to her, but…she can't recall anyone she's come in contact with, where she was living, nothing." He folded his hands and gave his brother a firm look over the com, "if what research we've done is right…she's always getting into these situations due to her team. I'm not releasing her back until she regains her memories. If she regains them and not just takes them in from magazines."

Bickslow knew better than to say anything, so he gave a nod, "right…Flametard and She-Warrior find out where she is, they'll be making a visit."

"Then don't tell them," Kaleb gave his brother a firm look, then smiled faintly, "we'll talk again, I have to go check on her."

"okay, bro…we'll talk soon."

When the call ended, Kaleb purposefully walked out of the room and to the infirmary, frowning as the woman there just picked at her food. "You need to eat." He heard the surface thoughts, hazy voices calling her fat and his jaw clenched.

"I.." The blonde looked at him for a moment and then looked down, "keep getting these voices…calling me fat…and I.."

The man moved to sit on the bed, "you're not fat. Whoever said that was ignorant. Right now you need to eat to recover your strength." He gave her a small smile, "trust me, Lucy, you're a bit underweight right now and you need to regain it and your strength."

Lucy gave him a small smile as she ducked her head, nodding, "Okay."

"Good girl," Kaleb chuckled as he ruffled her hair, earning an indignant squawk before he strode out. The few memories he could get to in her head? He didn't want her remembering. In fact, if he was honest, the thought to make the memories fade completely had come to mind more than once over the last few weeks., realizing how little of a push it would be, but…he knew that wouldn't be right. Memories made a person.
