    What if a music producer was reincarnated as a siren? Tyler never meant to spill his boss' coffee. He never meant to take a wrong turn when fetching a replacement. He certainly never meant to get mugged, or for that mugging to go horribly wrong. So, when his final wish is answered by a mysterious goddess, he seizes the opportunity for a new life, one where his talent for music can finally do him some good. Hoping to live out his years perfecting his music, Tyler becomes Tyri, a siren from the deep ocean. But what if that new life doesn't turn out the way he expected? What if, for the first time, he falls in love?

    After surviving a shipwreck that should have taken his life, seventeen-year-old Archer Calore is left with more questions than scars. The ocean took everything from him - his parents, his home, and the boy he used to be. Now he's somewhere quieter, living under the roof of a grandmother he barely knows, surrounded by people who believe in stories he's trying to forget. But something is happening. The sea feels too close. The waves seem to know his name. And when the calm is broken, Archer begins to wonder if the water ever truly let him go. Something ancient is stirring. Something long buried. And Archer is starting to feel it calling him back.

    Marianne of Calda-the second daughter of the Count of Calda and the Grand Duchess of Aquitaine-earned the title "The Forsaken Lady" after being jilted three times.   Facing these three former suitors who had passed her around for power, Marianne cheerfully pocketed hefty breakup settlements, ready to embrace life as a happily unmarried, wealthy woman. But life is full of unexpected twists. Her brother, heir to both the barony and the grand duchy, died of gluttony. Her aunt, who had married the first suitor, died in childbirth.   The two sons of her powerful uncle were wiped out by rebellious nobles in a single blow, which also frightened her frail, helpless cousin to death. Overnight, the once "abandoned girl" became the female heiress to one-third of the southern lands. The novel unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and power struggles among humans, humanoid races (elves, half-orcs, merfolk, insectoids, etc.), half-breeds, the Church of the Goddess of Light, the Church of the Fallen Goddess, and the Knights Templar. It follows Marianne, a cunning yet ill-tempered heroine who, after being jilted three times and amassing great wealth, is thrust into the succession war of Brittany. From aspiring to be a lazy rich woman, she evolves into a master player in the game of power. The work shines with its richly developed world, intricate political intrigue, vividly drawn cast of characters, and an unconventional female protagonist, exploring themes of power, ambition, and human nature.

But a year later, Syrus' not so recent past returns to him. And he doesn't know what to do. This is an AU where all that bad stuff in seasons 3 and 4 of Yu-gi-Oh GX never happened.

    A mermaid born of the sea. A vampire forged in shadow. Two worlds that were never meant to meet. Princess Coral of the Sea Kingdom has always obeyed the tides of tradition - until the day she dares to rise above the surface and glimpse the world forbidden to her. Prince Drakoth of the Underworld has lived his life in darkness, torn between duty and the dream of sunlight he can never touch. When their paths cross at the fragile edge between ocean and sky, their meeting defies every law of both realms. What begins as curiosity becomes connection - and what begins as a secret becomes a choice that could unite or destroy their worlds forever. In a story where light and darkness intertwine, where blood meets salt, and love rewrites destiny itself, Coral and Drakoth must prove that even the impossible can endure.

    At a quiet shoreline where the impossible feels almost ordinary, two lives cross and change the shape of each other forever. What begins in secrecy grows into something tender, dangerous, and impossible to hold without consequence. Years later, the sea gives back what was once lost, and long-buried choices begin to speak. Some love stories do not end when they are left behind. Some simply wait.

    They didn't grow up. They survived. A child beaten until his bones learned obedience. A prince taught that blood is safer than love. A sea-born heir who learned too early how many lives a crown can drown. And a silver-haired boy whose body was carved open for power, magic ripped from his veins until even his screams were studied. Book Two descends into the brutality that created them. Into cages, scars, blood-soaked rituals, and childhoods stripped down to instinct and endurance. Phoenix remembers drowning on land. Aldric remembers the first time he begged. Darius remembers the moment his heart was buried alive beneath duty. Orion remembers the day the ocean stopped feeling like home. Now, in the present, those memories are waking up. Nightmares turn physical. Magic turns violent. Love becomes terrifying because it demands vulnerability. And the bond between them-born from shared ruin-threatens to either heal what was broken... Or shatter what is barely holding together. This is a story of trauma, power, possession, and survival. This is not a love story for the unscarred.

    TDAC - The Deep Abyss Conservatory Hidden beneath miles of pressure-black seawater lies an impossible structure: The Deep Abyss Conservatory, a living aquarium carved into the trench wall itself. It is neither fully a lab nor fully a sanctuary - it exists in that delicate space between research and reverence. Every chamber glows with pale blues and drifting bioluminescence, as if the ocean has simply decided to open its ribs and let humans walk inside. The Conservatory is home to siren-lineage beings, merfolk variants, deep leviathans, and other marine anomalies that were once scattered across the darkest corners of the world. Here, their ecosystems are preserved in massive pressure-sealed habitats, each tank more like a fragment of the abyss than an enclosure. Light filters through thick crystalline walls like slow-moving moonlight, illuminating creatures whose beauty borders on dangerous. Staff members-scientists, handlers, and abyss specialists-move carefully through the halls, trained to respect the instincts and emotions of beings who are ancient, territorial, or heartbreakingly curious about the surface world. Some of them watch you pass with cold predator eyes. Others follow with soft fascination. A few seem almost human in their longing for connection. You, however, are newly assigned. A fresh arrival to the Aquarium Division. A pair of steady hands among a place that requires absolute gentleness. Your role is simple in name, complicated in practice: Monitor, maintain, and communicate with abyssal entities, ensuring their health and stability... while ensuring the Conservatory itself remains intact. Because here, in the deep... a creature's emotions can shift the pressure of an entire wing. A single distressed siren can turn the glass walls into vibrating instruments. And a leviathan's displeasure? It can silence entire hallways.

    A story of love, power, betrayal, and the corruption of an innocent soul. ------------ Melusine "Sina" Fisher grows up in the seaside village of Farbarrow, the only daughter of a widower father. Although bright and precocious, the limited curriculum provided by the village school leads Sina to be branded as "difficult" by her teacher and treated accordingly. All that changes when Sina saves a rare black octopus from a group of village boys. As thanks for her help, the octopus promises to grant the child one wish: "I want to learn." And so begins Sina's magical education. As she grows, so do her powers. With her reputation expanding beyond Farbarrow's narrow borders, Sina attracts the attention of Viscount Klaus Zeimet who captures her heart with a dashing smile and kind eyes. But not all noblemen's sons are gentlemen and happily-ever-afters can disappear in a puff of smoke. Loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Little Mermaid".

Centuries later, magical creatures have retreated to the forest's edges, establishing Ravenwood Academy, a sanctuary for their kind.

Against this backdrop, a girl with extraordinary powers is about to step into this ancient tale, unaware that the balance of life and death rests in her hands. As the Eclipsars threaten to extinguish every light in the forest, the girl's actions will determine the fate of Ravenwood Academy and the magical world.

Note I don't own H2O Just Add Water or Mako Mermaids all copyrights to these shows belong to Jonanthan M. Shiff Productions.

Plus I also wanted to make a character with autism for the H2O universe not to mention I also wrote this to help me deal with anxiety.
