Nikola didn’t know why he had come here… or maybe he did, deep down. He was certain of it. Mermen existed. Everyone had thought he was crazy when he decided to change his field of study to devote himself to the marine world. But Nikola was sure of it: those creatures were real.

Summary
Little orphan Harry was raised by the sea by his cruel aunt and uncle. His uncle is the mayor of the fishing town. He was told his whore of a mother got pregnant by an unknown man and that she drowned herself in the ocean out of shame shortly after his birth.
Harry is kept away from the ocean by his aunt who seems terrified of the water, but she is actually aware that Harry is not fully human though she has kept it a secret from even her husband out of fear of being punished herself. However one day, Dudley and his friends chases Harry to the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and Piers pushes Harry into the ocean. Harry thought for sure he would drown, however under the waters he transforms into a mythical mermaid.
Harry travels alone in the sea for a while, but he is found by Mer-King Grindelwald's patrol, Severus Snape and Bellatrix Lestrange. Severus recognizes Harry for who he is - the missing child of Lily Evans whom the Mer-King had killed to punish James Potter for daring to have a relationship with a human. What kind of life waits for Harry now?

Summary
The campfire offers only so much illumination, but the full moon hanging from the starry sky is plentiful. Cast down in an all-encompassing descent, its radiant silver glow captures every detail of the scene before Grisha's eyes: the darkened, damp sand, the shimmering white crest of waves, and the figure emerging from out of the waters.
Grisha's eyesight is enough to see him.
A young merman.
Or: Grisha experiences a prophecy, a shipwreck, and an encounter with something not quite human.

Summary
Sea green eyes narrow in on her, his webbed hands slowly pulling him up the ladder. The ship was tilting towards him, following the weight of the scaled tail hidden beneath the ocean. Annabeth flinched when he finally hauled his upper half inside. His hand snapped out, grabbing her foot and yanking her towards him. Broad muscles wrap around her, sealing her ability to escape as he nuzzles the crook between her neck and shoulder. A slight raspy and pleading voice unfit for the man in front of her flits out, “Wife, what do you mean you’re leaving me? That isn’t true right?”
Now how did she get here? Let’s rewind back to the beginning.

Summary
Jules came to Amnesty Bay for four weeks of peace and ocean air. What she found was a town with too many secrets, three strangers who feel like unfinished business, and five more she didn't know she needed.
This is a story about a girl who needed a break. That's it. That's all she wanted. Enough quiet to remember why she ever loved her life in the first place. Simple. Reasonable. Very achievable.
It was not achieved.
What Jules did find in Amnesty Bay was a forgotten little coastal town, a diner with suspicious hours, and a group of ridiculously beautiful men who feel too familiar to be strangers.
Oh, and an ocean that looks at her like it knows something she doesn't.
It's fine. Everything is fine.
Welcome to Amnesty Bay. Population: complicated.
Come for the view. Stay because — well. Something won't let you leave.
Flip the page. I promise it's worth it. -

Summary
Sinopsis→ Con sus padres fallecidos dejándola al cargo de una bióloga marina especializada en sirenas y tritones, una híbrida humana se ve dividida entre la tierra a la que siempre se anclaron sus pies, y el mar al que teme y admira, en cuyas Aguas Profundas existen cinco Leviatanes dispuestos a amarla.
•••
Nota→ Un fanfic de The Freak Circus inspirado en el océano, porque hay muy pocos de esta índole y el mundo marino me tiene últimamente obsesionada.
✨Profundamente inspirado en "Blood in the water, light in the depths" (sobre todo lo que respecta a Columbina y los leviatanes), "Lost song, found melody" (especialmente en la idea de la isla desierta y el naufragio), y "Song of a Mermaid in Love" (sobre la semi-humana MC y su capacidad de cambio voluntaria).
→ Estas historias también son la única referencia que tengo sobre vida bajo el agua y comunidades de sirenas en la literatura... así que encontrarán muchos parecidos sobre "colonias" y "nidos", y algunas cosas completamente inventadas. ¡Disfruten!⚠️→ La autora no sabe nada de crear historias bajo el mar... están advertidos. (Se aceptan consejos...)

Summary
The figure was blond, with streaks of black twining through their golden locks, the feathery strands somehow perfectly dry despite the fact the figure was chest deep in the ocean. The figure looked somewhat masculine, with a flat chest and well defined biceps and shoulders, but the face bore an ethereal feminine quality that could not be denied.
Smooth, poreless skin without even a hint of facial hair, small, red lips and elfin facial features left Mackiah confused as to whether he was looking at a man or a woman, and he found himself riveted to the figure's undefinable beauty that couldn't possibly be put into words.
But most incredible of all, staring back at him with an intense sort of scrutiny that made Mackiah's whole body erupt into goosebumps, the figure's eyes were a deep, impossible shade of liquid gold.
"What are you?" Mackiah breathed, spellbound.
Concussed, injured, and maybe a bit hysterical, Mackiah finds a mermaid, and decidedly bites off more than he can chew.

Summary
After a near-death experience in the ocean, Maren Mercar finds herself with the ability to transform into a mermaid, and doesn't know how to control it or how it happened. Desperate to find a way to make it stop, she seeks out help from the local university's marine biochemistry professor, determined to find answers without revealing her secret to the handsome man she saved in her mermaid form.
Professor Emmrich Volkarin knows what he saw. The golden scale he'd discovered that turned into a flake of human skin upon further tests was proof that he had been saved by a beautiful creature thought to only be a myth. Now if he could only find her again...
Inspired loosely by H20: Just Add Water and Discord shenanigans.

Summary
You decide to go for a swim in your favorite cove. It's quiet, and peaceful. You try to free fish from a net that it's been caught in, only to get yourself stuck and almost drown. Lucky for you a merman rescues you. You think. Could've been a hallucination from the near death experience.
But everyone's always said you're stubborn, and you keep making your way back to the cove to see what it was that rescued you.
Fortunately, or unfortunately for you, that something lies in wait for you as well.
