The dark waters| ✓ by SushiBor

I won't survive. I'm sure of it. Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall. While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind. This is how I die. Then the waters devour me. ___________________________________________ What's the worst crime you could ever commit?

Call it coincidence. Or just fate. Now she must choose which side she's on and unveil a truth about her existence. Wishing all the while, Not to commit the same sin again.....

To be the Villainess by HatingYouIsGreat

𝕮𝖍𝖗𝖔𝖓𝖎𝖛𝖆𝖑𝖊 𝕯𝖚𝖔𝖑𝖔𝖌𝖞 𝐈 Faerie thought she was making the right choice when she married the man of her dreams-until that choice turned into a nightmare. Trapped in a loveless marriage, locked away in a basement, and ultimately left to die, her life ended in despair. But fate had other plans. When Faerie wakes up, she finds herself reincarnated in the very offline game she used to escape her grim reality. But this time, one wrong click changes everything. Instead of the heroine, she accidentally selects the avatar of Lady Arthemice-the infamous Villainess known for her cruel reputation. Determined not to be a victim again, Faerie resolves to embrace her new role as the Villainess. With her newfound power, she'll carve her own path in this treacherous world, using every challenge to build her reputation. But the question remains: can she truly survive-and thrive-in a world where one wrong move could mean her end? "I would make Arthemice into a true villainess, not the childish one from the game I once played. Because right now, I, Faerie, embrace the darkness. I wanted to be the Villainess." ╔═════════ ◈ ═════════╗ Welcome to "Goddesses and the Villainess," dear player!

A Siren's Song: From Salt and Blood by Scyllaslibrary

The sea remembers every promise broken. Mazikeen was born of storm and song - a siren whose voice can bend the will of men and still the tides themselves. When her queen commands her to wed a high fae king, she agrees for the sake of peace between sea and shore. The ocean grows restless, its tides dark and uneasy, but Maze tells herself it's only nerves - not omen. Far from the waves that shaped her, she must learn to survive among fae courts built on power and deceit, where beauty is a weapon and kindness can kill. Yet beneath the glitter of diplomacy, something ancient is stirring - and when betrayal comes, it will awaken the storm within her. Because the sea does not forgive. And neither does she.

Siren's Kiss by justlenora

Originally written in 2020; newly edited in 2024. In the mermaid society of the Maji, human life is sacrificed to evolve into the powerful, winged state of Hewa. Those that do not advance are banished from society and left to fend for themselves in the great oceans...so it is either kill or be killed. Nia's life is torn between the Maji and the humans who took her in when her own family went missing. Seen as a failure in the Maji world, she is determined to find a way to become human herself and lead a new life with her friend and her love. But when the mythical gift of the Siren's Kiss awakens in her, both worlds are turned upside down. Nia's newfound power has the ability to save either the human world she covets or the mermaid world she despises. Whichever she chooses to save will destroy the other. Authors note: This is a story I wrote to keep my spirits up when I was furloughed in 2020 due to COVID. It still needs a lot of editing; if enough people are actually interested in this story, I will buckle down and get to reediting! :)

Turning Tides by laurendoubleu

[WLW] An ambitious scientist won't let anything get in the way of her dreams--not even death. ⚓︎ When Malia set out to sea, she expected to make a life-changing discovery; instead, she received a life-ending doom.

PURSUIT | TWINS OF AMPHITRITE-1 by Maplebell

When you are the daughter of Amphitrite, left at the doorstep of a High Priest, you learn to expect great things from yourself. But power comes at a price, and the price could be becoming a pawn in the hands of immortal beings. Which is never a good idea. Annis has lived sixteen years of her life, trying to become the fearsome warrior every mermaid claims she is destined to be. With each passing year, her powers have failed. But then the Summon arrives. For centuries, the merfolk have worshipped Poseidon, offering sacrifices in exchange for tsunamis that devastate the human world they so despise. But it has been seven years, and the ocean has been unnervingly calm. The tsunamis are lost; their lord has gone silent. Summoned by the powerful and charismatic Vitus, ruler of Feridia, Annis finds herself amidst a crew of royalty that all seemingly hate each other. Their goal is clear: Find Poseidon and demand the long overdue storm. But with monsters, a fallen goddess and a potent romance waiting in the alluring king that evades her, what price must a mermaid pay for her share of glory?

Broken Ink, Shattered Fate Of a Villainess by starlet18poo

She lived a life of quiet suffering-cast aside, unloved, a mere stepping stone for the real female lead. When death finally came, she thought it was the end. But then she woke up. This world is nothing more than a novel, and she was written to suffer. Not this time. Now, she will rewrite her fate, take revenge on those who abandoned her, and make the male lead regret ever overlooking her. But breaking free from the story is not so simple. Someone is watching, and this time, she's no longer a forgotten side character-she's the villainess rewriting her own destiny.

Reborn again to change WHAT? by PH2scenario

It was Edith's third life. First she was a poor hardworking girl lost under the pressure of work in the modern world of airplanes and computers but then she died.... Then she found herself in the novel she used to read. The book was worn out as she had reread it several times and now she is bound to the plot as a character who had to avoid the fate of ending up the villainess's accomplice and save her life. So her choices ultimately almost led to a happy ending where she even fell for one of the second male leads but then...SHE DIED AGAIN. ＞﹏＜＞﹏＜ ⏳⏳⏳ Now again she was in the novel world. Was this to avoid death or her lover? She couldn't really say but the only thing was some characters were now different from the initial novel plot especially Derek whom she loved. Now she wasn't even sure if it was really the actual Derek or someone else. So was she brought back again to find the real Derek? (Story is mine. Do not copy.)
