1900s blackhumor existentialist fairytale little mermaid

Because when you think about it, he's really just kind of useless.

A highly transformed reimagination of The Little Mermaid set in a vague location in a vague mid-1900s time period, with plenty of fourth wall breaking, existentialist fun - in inspired Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead fashion.  If you go for that sort of thing, continue reading...

The Mako Calling - An H20 Inspired Story by GayGuy0815

Set in the same universe as H20: Just Add Water (events of Mako Mermaids did not happen), 4 highschoolers are doing a Biology Project on Mako Island. Not to keen of each other but still wanting to get the work done, they discover a cave with an oh so familiar Moonpool. As magic strikes, suddenly their lives take a 180° Turn. Their normal lives as they knew them? As gone as a dead fish in a stream. Will a shared secret bring these 4 together? Or will huge waves crash between them because of it? Note: I occasionally decide to re-edit older chapters a bit (mostly only little changes) so idk if it shows for readers, but if the release dates are all over the place this is why. And yes I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I can't help myself lmao

Untouched Water by renesmeewolfe

One choice could change everything. Cressa-la went into the water of her own volition to save the dolphin... but what if she stayed ashore? A small change in a series of big events may seem insignificant, but it's the tiny differences that could change the outcome of specific things, such as, say, the end of the world. Can Cressa-la save it this time, not knowing about what lies beneath the water's surface, not knowing of the evil force on her tail, or will the earth crumble at the hands of darkness, everything saturated in green illumination? Perhaps. *** The story diverges at chapter 4 Available to purchase now as an ebook and paperback. DON'T HAVE TO READ BEFORE READING DAMIAN'S DEEDS *** Books in series order: 1. The One-Hundred 2.

Undersea by Earl_Dukov

This is a story about an under water city called Undersea. It is not a particularly magical place this city, in the way we might expect an under water city to be (with mermaids, talking fish, and so forth) but is instead an everyday sort of place that we might be used to. Except that it is under water. In this story we meet an everyday sort of girl named Sarah, watch her grow, and witness the choices she must make. For in reality this is a story about how certain thoughts and ideas will come to certain conclusions, horrendous as they might be in the end. But here we are getting quite ahead of ourselves. All in good time my friends! Dedications: To Berdella and Maxine (my grandmothers) now passed, and for three yet to be born. Also to Mr. Asimov.

Choices Affect Everyone COMPLETE by TRMEbooks

Tension between mermaids and humans had always been high, especially after the queen of the mermaids had been killed by humans, regardless that it was an accident. So many years later when Princess Muriel becomes curious about humans, she keeps it to herself. Muriel lives in a castle with her father, sisters, and best friend, Percy. Some of her sisters blame her for their mother's death so Muriel avoids them when at all possible. She gains an interest in humans and trails after their ships. For humans, mermaids are bad luck so she knows that they won't attempt to harm her. The first time Prince Philip steps foot on a fishing boat he witnesses the crew catch a mermaid. Although terrified, he moves forward to help untangle her as no one else is moving. He prays that she'll forgive him. Worry forms when she takes a lock of his hair. Was that a way of marking him? Regardless, he doesn't fight, not wanting to make it worse. Worry increases when she's spotted again. Muriel begins to develop a crush on Prince Philip after he frees her from the net. When her sister's displeasure with her grows worse, Muriel seeks to avoid it. In a desperate attempt to do so she finds herself cave of the sea witch Minerva. Philip's kindness remains prominent in her mind when Minerva offers her a choice to be a human. Hesitantly she agrees, unaware of how different the human world from hers. Philip's bodyguard begins to catch on that Muriel is different and Percy and the king quickly become desperate to find her. My own version of "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen. Used to be called, "Mermaid Wish." (Magic in this world works differently than in my series, 'Tèarmann Chronicles')

Take My Heart to the Depths by VanillaRednight

A story similar to a classic fairy tale, but with a major twist ... What if the little mermaid were a deep sea merman instead? And what if the human he fell in love with went to live with him in the sea instead? Though born as a regular human on land, Henrietta always felt as if she were suffocating. She struggled to survive and belong among her kind. On a night when she sought to end her life at sea, she was rescued by Elsen, a merman who had once felt the same as her. Despite coming from different worlds, their shared experiences instantly built a bridge between them. When misfortune struck again, Henrietta lost her home and was driven to the edge once more. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Elsen brought her to his home in the deep sea. Although the ocean depths were tranquil and soothing, Henrietta's heart was still plagued with worries. And she soon discovered that Elsen also had yet to defeat his own demons. Will these two broken souls finally heal and come to love not only each other but themselves as well?

The Aquarian by katt12kitt

Dated 500 years in the future, the humans world has collapsed under the weight of climate change, causing Tsamis and droughts that have wiped out huge chunks of the population. They are no longer the dominant species on earth, even if only one human knows this. Aquarians, a mermaid species, are now the largest intelligent species on earth, and they have decided to never even come into contact with humans long ago, when the humans betrayed them. But now, their species is also being affected by the pollution, and the Aquarians realize some of the researchers (who can only be male) must go search for the serum the humans created and abandoned in a coral reef, long ago. Thats where Marina, the reserved and kind Aquarian, has been chosen to help, even if shes not a researcher, not male, nor the proper age, her destiny to save the endangered species is granted. Join Marina as she uncovers her true path in saving Aquarians, and the path of the two distant worlds of humans and mermaids.

The Servant Girl and The Sea Prince by Kae-LeahWilliamson

Poseidon is a young merman prince preparing to succeed his dying father as monarch of the beautiful undersea kingdom of Pacifica. Melinda is a poor human servant girl who loves the ocean. This is their unlikely romance, told in alternating perspectives. A prequel to my novella The Siren Queen, but it also works as a stand-alone novella.
