    Summary

    There were tales told on the seas by fishermen and pirates, tales of mythical Zora and their half-Hylian children: mermaids. Many claimed to see a Zora, but few claimed to see mermaids, for they were so rare, they were legend. But when Link is saved by something with a tail, he finds himself more drawn to the sea than ever.

    Summary

    Grace pressed his lips together and hummed curiously. “That’s a tank of blood?”

    “Yes. We need your help studying what’s inside.”

    “You mean the blood?” He frowned. “Are you sure you don’t have anyone better for this? Like, aren’t there doctors who spend their entire lives analyzing blood? Surely they’d be—”

    He was cut off as a loud thud made him jump. For a brief second, an inhuman hand pressed against the glass. It had five long, thin fingers, with thin membranes stretching between each to make it webbed.

    Grace gulped.

    Something was in there.

    "Orion, my child. Heed my warning; Never you shall went to the abyss below, for danger always lurking there in eternity." Alpha Trion warned, the elders speeches barely a whisper behind the ancient coral table.

    "I understand Master Trion, I'll just—"

    "I MEANT IT!!!"

    Summary

    Another rumbling song called out from the depths, sending a shiver down Wriothesley’s spine. The lights of the submersible flickered and died, the power fully cutting out. 

    “Power failure,” S.I.G.3.W.I.N.N.E. crackled, her voice partially obscured by static. “Stand by for emergency power supply activation.” 

    A shadow passed below the ship, and Wriothesley risked a glance downwards towards the depths of the canyon.

    He really wished he hadn’t.

    After his spacecraft crashes on an alien planet primarily made up of oceans, Wriothesley is left stranded with only an artificial intelligence module called S.I.G.3.W.I.N.N.E. to keep him company. As curiosity draws Wriothesley deeper into the waters of the ocean planet, he discovers something monstrous lurking in the depths.

    Summary

    fathomless / ˈfaT͟Həmləs / adjective – unable to be measure or understood, extremely deep

    Wally never expected to come back to Happy Harbor. Not after his near drowning in the sea caves by his childhood home — which inevitably led to his parents’ divorce. But here he was twelve years later, fresh out of grad -school and moving back into his late father’s old house.

    A summer spent in the sleepy town he grew up in on the Rhode Island coast should have been idyllic. A quiet three months working in his uncle’s aquarium as he figured out what the hell he wanted to do with his life. But, it turns out, finding a siren tangled in a fishing net at the bottom of the bay would only be the beginning of his troubles.

    What happened to the poor Nereid who now haunted Wally’s thoughts? Why couldn’t he shake the feeling that their fates were more tangled than the net he’d cut away from its beautiful tail? And who was the so-called expert called in by the counties Game-Warden to investigate the new predator making waves in the Rhode Island Sound?

    The further Wally dug, the deeper the mystery took him — and someone had swim to the bottom of it.

    Good thing Wally has his diving license.

    Summary

    He had heard talk of sea creatures from sailors and smugglers alike. Tall tales of false evolutions and fanciful fantasies conjured by desperate, frustrated minds in need of stimulation and copulation. Scientific fallacy, nothing worth remembering or regarding with any seriousness. Such an abomination could not exist. And yet, the old man could not deny the existence of the infant's thin, translucent fins, nor the pale glisten of flat, fish-like scales against newborn skin, gleaming under the pale moon.

    On an unassuming, dreary day, a train arrives in a remote costal town carring a young, downtrodden stranger seeking to become the new town Wickie. But with the past looming large, and a better tomorrow seemingly forever just out of reach, will his fresh start prove to be more challenging than he expected? Will the weight of the past hinder the path to the future he longs to create? And what else might the light of the lamp guide to the shore?

    Something I conjured up for Mermay 2026 after watching The Shape of Water and The Lighthouse back to back. Make of that what you will.

    Summary

    Caught on a case and tossed in the ocean, Richard Perkins should have died. He would have died if not for a curious and somewhat lonely-looking creature. Richard is pretty sure it's a hallucination at first; what else could it possibly be? But hallucinations don't usually save your life and bring you presents.

    Summary

    ~
    PART 2:
    After the events of Good Things Come.

    Astarion and Tav have solidified their roles in the Underdark with the other Spawn, as well as in Faerun. They realize there is still much more they can do to stop another Vampire lord, and help another of their Companions in the process.
     

    A snippet of things to come:

    Except Tav beat Astarion there and reached him first, and a wet SMACK sounded as Astarion's chest collided with her shoulder blades where she stood solidly between them.

    For a moment, Astarion only saw red.

    For a moment, Astarion heard nothing but the roaring, rushing sounds in his adept ears - that of the rolling sea, and Tav's blood catapulting through her arteries with her own anger.

    Astarion's eyes focused and traced her form and up her extended arm, his lip twitching with the beginning of a snarl at the action that had been denied him, but the scent of Gale's blood hit his nose then. The odor was strong despite the pervading smell of salt in the surf that lapped along the shore at their feet.

    Summary

    The sea gives. The sea takes.

    When you are dragged beneath the waves by the furious prince of an underwater kingdom, you learn that the ocean has always known more about you than you do. As poisoned waters spread through the reefs and Bakugou demands your help to save his mother, old blood, older magic, and a dangerous kind of devotion begin to rise with the tide.
     

    ***I kicked the chapter count up to twelve. The story is still going to end on July 25th! I'm just going to post two chapters each Saturday until then (chapters 9 and 10 on the 18th and chapters 11 and 12 on the 25th).

    Summary

    Marina has always belonged to the sea. Raised by its edge and shaped by its song, she whispered her secrets to the tide and believed, foolishly, that it listened. Now, as a marine cryptobiologist, she told herself it was curiosity, scientific instinct, the pull of the unknown that called her. But when a storm wrecks her vessel and pulls her under, she's rescued by something the world insists doesn't exist.
