    Summary

    "The haggard spectre of a woman grips her hair, leaning against the warped and blood stained wood, eyes clenched shut and heaving.

    Cracks and snaps come from the table as Astarion fiddles. There are footsteps and the groan of rotting floorboards as hands reach up, a warm cloth dabbing at her face. A tut as her jaw is tilted upwards.

    The drow painstakingly cleans the captain's hands, still embedded in filthy hair before Minthara's urging bids them unlock.

    Perhaps it could be called love."

    Summary

    All those commitments that were all too easy to get lost among drove him crazy, but he knew they would always have this. A safe haven where their hearts could beat in sync, creating a touching melody that was impossible to replicate. The serenity that came from being in Nam-gyu’s arms was indescribable, and Thanos didn't seem to be able ever to drink his fill. He wanted to stay like this for as long as possible. For eternity, maybe. And then a bit longer.

    Summary

    When Garth asked Jason what phrases he wanted translated, the mer hunched down in the water and blew furious bubbles before huffing, “No.”

    Garth frowned. You already know how to say that. What other things do you need to be able to say to Bruce and Alfred?

    Of the speech, Bruce recognized his name and maybe Alfred’s. It made it feel like something was clawing inside his chest, knowing that he couldn’t communicate properly with this child living in his pool.

    Jason curled his lip back. I know human words.

     

    You really don’t.

    Summary

    There are many things to be cautious of in their watery world, from the merran to the Ryuu, but none so terrifying as the glowing tide—just one splash and that’s all she wrote, you’re no longer human but another monster to menace those trying to survive on the waves.

    Hiro, unfortunately, has fallen victim to the glowing tide—and his only hope of survival is a deep-sea merran that goes by the moniker of Ghost.

    Summary

    “Um,” said Danny, blinking, squinting, and tilting his head to one side. “It’s a little bluer than usual, maybe?” He turned to look in other directions for comparison. “Yeah, it’s bluer. Kind of that sea-blue-green whatever color. Is that a bad thing, or…?”

    Summary

    Since his incident when he was fourteen, he’s always had a greater affinity to water compared to his fellow merfolks. After all, even if it took his gift in singing away, Ajax’s water manipulation is now without match.

    He knows his watery constructs can resist against the flow of time, he just hopes this barrier will do the same.

    Now, he’s a Leviathan to hunt.

    Summary

    At Hogwarts, Remus Lupin has a secret deeper than anyone suspects. He's not a werewolf, but a merman, cursed by a mysterious magical pool as a child. Every full moon, he’s pulled to the depths of the Black Lake, where transformation is inevitable, painful, and isolating. Only Lily Evans knows the truth, having uncovered it by accident years earlier. She has kept his secret and helped him manage the toll it takes on his body and spirit.

    Now in their fifth year, Sirius Black starts to notice things: the way Remus disappears, the darkness inside he tries to hide, the excuses that no longer make sense. When Sirius follows Remus one night, he finds more than he bargained for. The truth is stranger, more magical, and just a bit more heartbreaking than anything he imagined.
