Things are no longer safe in Portsmouth. For the past couple of months, people have been disappearing seemingly into thin air. The only clue is the several unmanned fishing boats that have been found floating near shore or overturned on the sandy beach. No crime scenes have been found, no suspects, nothing. Police have ruled that a vicious animal of some kind must be behind the disappearances and have enforced a strict new curfew. All residents of the city are to be safely indoors by the time night falls and the moon begins to rise. When Liam Payne and a few of his best mates move in with their friend Josh Devine for what they hope will be the best summer ever, they laugh off all the crazy stories told to them by the locals. They convince each other that it's nothing but superstition. But what if it isn't just some silly horror story? What will happen when one of their own vanishes without a trace? Is it all a joke, or is something more sinister happening along Portsmouth's once-calm shoreline? ***this will be a boyxboy fic, don't like it, don't read*** All rights reserved.

After an almost fatal surfing accident, beach resident Louis Tomlinson finds himself face to face with the most beautiful creature he has ever seen-a mermaid. Or merman, rather. He discovers that the half-fish, half-human sitting before him is named Harry. The two form an unlikely friendship and test the already fine limits of forbidden love.

When Harry Styles goes to his uncle's in Florida for the summer, he's reminded by the company his two dating friends, Liam and Zayn, how hopelessly single he is. The trip he expected to be fun turns slightly sour on his first day there. Until he meets Louis Tomlinson, that is. And even though Louis is more different than Harry could imagine, Harry slowly begins to feel like Louis could very well make his seemingly lonely trip the best vacation of his life.
