My entry for the #PlanetOrPlastic writing contest that's hosted by National Geographic in association with Wattpad. I hope that my modest story will open someone's eyes to the major effect single-use plastics have on our beloved planet, ecosystems and consequently our lives.

Captured
The ocean is full of mysterious creatures and things. Mermaids and mermen are among these wonders, but they are nothing but myths, or so one would think. The world is certainly full of wonderful surprises. One fateful day, Y/N's father finds himself drowning in the deep blue. He thought he'd die, but was thankfully rescued by a creature so peculiar that he just had to bring home to study. However, something he didn't expect was how much this fish man would change the life of his daughter. {Merman x Female Reader}Complete
The Aquarian
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.Complete
The Mako Calling - An H20 Inspired Story
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
Looking For Hope
After major coastal cities sink to the bottom of the ocean at the end of the twenty-first century, the richest inhabitants of Earth escape the planet to build new colonies in a distant solar system. Thirty six light years away from the Milky Way galaxy, centuries have passed and humanity is well established. Among the most notable establishments is a prestigious university for the study of alien biology. Moira, a girl with a pervasive developmental disorder, but a talented student nonetheless, navigates the challenge of interplanetary university life as she researches a rare and endangered species. When a deeper threat emerges that challenges the existence of these creatures, she must team up with her classmates and find a solution to a problem much bigger than they could ever hope to be. ***** Credits: The cover is courtesy of the brilliant @vertigo_moon from The Vertigo Graphics while the line editing/proofreading/grammar check was done with a lot of input from Halyn Bleiz a.k.a vin_elend from the Floret community and Katie Marie from the Coven of Bookworms community. They have my gratitude. The blurb was written with some help from @RowanCarver and I am thankful for her feedbacks.Complete
