When Lucy was found to have amnesia, she was sent back to Sabertooth, where she was now. Not Fairy Tail. She was unaware of her life there, or that she was Rogue Cheney's wife. And nobody even bothered to tell her. RoLu.

"This is who I am now! Stop trying to fix me because you can't!" Lucy's breath hitched, and a shadow fell over her face. "You can't."

Sting knew Lucy was pretty smoking, he just never got close enough to admire it.

18 months. That's how long she'd been gone. It was his secret wish that she'd be home for this Christmas, but he knew not to get his hopes up. She was a solider, after all. {Military AU, Modern AU, Christmas AU, Sticy}
