The sea remembers what the world forgets. Raised above the shoreline, David Dawson grows up with salt in the air and unanswered questions in his chest. Years ago, the ocean showed him something impossible-something beautiful-and then closed over it as if it had never been. Time passes. Childhood fades. But the pull of the water never loosens its grip. When a quiet, unfamiliar girl arrives from afar, carrying the sea's cadence in her voice and mystery in her eyes, old currents begin to stir. As land and ocean draw closer, secrets long submerged ripple toward the surface-about family, belonging, and the thin, fragile line between myth and truth. Set where waves meet stone and memory clings like tidefoam, Fish out of Water is a story of love shaped by two worlds, of choosing where to stand when the horizon calls, and of listening-truly listening-to what the sea has been whispering all along. Setting: California Era: 1907 (Ch 1), 1918 (Ch 2 - 21)

Fire was never just power. It was hunger. Blair has spent her life surviving the aftermath of flames-drawn to their beauty, haunted by their destruction, and shaped by the fear of being powerless again. When a shadowy force known as the Night Ferries begins destabilizing the elemental balance of the world, Blair discovers she can do what no one else can: bend not just one element, but all of them. As villages fall, alliances fracture, and ancient systems of control resurface, Blair is pulled across lands of water, earth, air, and fire-each demanding something different from her. Strength. Patience. Trust. Stillness. With every lesson, she learns that mastery isn't about domination, and power without balance is just another form of violence. When the truth behind the Night Ferries is revealed, Blair faces a choice greater than war-one that could either repeat a cycle of control or finally break it. This is not a story about becoming the strongest. It's about choosing what kind of strength is worth keeping.

Some things are buried for a reason. Some things call anyway. When Mara is stranded in a snowbound town, she never expects to find herself drawn into a family whose history feels unsettlingly familiar. Their land hums with something ancient. Their traditions carry echoes she can't explain. And the journal she's been raised to protect begins to reveal a story she was never meant to forget. As long-buried truths awaken, Mara is forced to confront what she is - and what the world once demanded of her kind. A power older than memory stirs beneath the mountain, calling wolves and vampires alike toward a fate shaped by hunger, protection, and choice. Caught between legacy and love, Mara must decide whether the past should be repeated... or finally laid to rest. The Things That Call Us is a quiet, emotionally driven fantasy about ancestry, belonging, and the courage it takes to answer a call without becoming consumed by it.
