Selkie Stories

When a man steals a selkie woman's pelt, she is trapped on land with him in human form, separated from the sea and her selkie family. She fights him at first.

Will she find her pelt and get back to the sea and her family? Will she give in to her kidnapper and make a life on land? Or will she perish, imprisoned forever by her captor? And how far will she go to regain her freedom? Trigger Warnings: Mentions of drowning, kidnapping, unwanted children, abandonment, and depressive and suicidal thoughts.

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth. Her only link to the past is her best friend, Cillian, and even he has grown quiet as Moira's eighteenth birthday approaches. But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much. Moira can end the issue - she's supposed to marry a selkie prince once she's eighteen, forever tying her people with the seals. Moira has only just discovered the life hidden from her, and going to live with the seals would mean giving up the life she's always wanted to live. She doesn't want to give herself up to the sea. It will have to come for her.

Adelais Lewis, Lace, didn't know what was going to happen when she handed Stormy Briony her jacket back after she sang her set.

She didn't know it could be seen as a marriage proposal and Stormy would come back for her with a wedding ring. Or that it was possible to be two things at once and fall in love.

Elfy was two when the first storm reached Boestrings banks. The sea sprayed salt onto her bedroom window, the grey lights dancing in her hands. Her cheeks frosted the thin pained glass as she listened to each wave rise and fall, each louder than the next. Her Mother was on the lower floor rationing the wood in their stove, the warm smell of savory baked goods wafting into her small room. The paint was chipping away from her walls, the sea eaten wood of the beams exposed. Elfy ran her hand over the wood, refusing to flinch when a splinter nicked her hand. That night, as her mother had lain her head down against her pillow Elfy had raced to the shores. The wind bit her cheeks, sand building between her toes. The waves were bigger than Elfy had imagined, falling, rhythmically, singing a sing just for Elfy to hear. Elfy hummed along, spinning, letting her small arms catch the wind. The salt bit at her eyes, matting her long locks of blond hair into thick chunks like the dog that lived on west street. Elfy had giggled with this thought. 13 years later Elfy sat perched against the same beach. The sea sang to her again. Not of joys like it had that night, but of the sorrows her town had sacrificed to it. With every girl fed to the ocean, the sea sang to Elfy. It cried to her, cried to make it stop. It cried it melodic toon. And now as her feet touched the serf Elfy cried back, tears and salt spray merging to one on her face. This day was bound to come, bound to face Elfy as the cuffs of her pants dampened. But she hadn't imagined it to come to this. Elfy prayed to the mehrts, and old superstition only children per took in, her hands clenched and bound tightly behind her back. 231 "Forgive me Mother." She whispered as the sea rose around her.

The world is cruel! Not only have I died, but now I've gone and grown fins, too. Oh, but what's that? Is that Azkaban? Where there's Azkaban, Sirius Black can't be far off-and that gave me a crazy idea I wanted to put into action: Mission: Save Sirius Black!
