By special request, Wendy! I might do Lisanna a bit later, when I've decided what to do with Mirajane. Many thanks for all the reviews and faves - I'm super busy or I'd reply to all of them individually!
Wendy
They asked her where she wanted her guild mark, and for a long, long second she didn't know what to say.
"You have to have one," Natsu pointed out from where he sat perched on one of the tables. "Soon as you've got one you can come out on jobs with us and stuff!"
Jobs? She hadn't really done much in the way of jobs in Cait Shelter... she'd never really needed anything because it was all there already, and she had been too young or too fragile or she wasn't allowed out on her own and then eventually it had been Nirvana and Carla had a bad feeling about it like she always did and Natsu and Jellal and Erza had been there and then...
Wendy took a deep breath and wrapped her hand around the blank space where her Cait Shelter mark had melted away like snow as her beloved home dissolved before her eyes. "Here," she whispered. "Where the other one was."
"What about the other shoulder?" Mirajane asked, frowning and clearly concerned, but Wendy shook her head. She wanted to remember them every time she glanced down and saw the curling tail of the mark wrapping around her upper arm. She wanted to remember the family she had lost, and the family she had gained in return.
Suddenly, she thought of something. "Mirajane? Can it be blue, please?"
Perhaps not everything had to change.
