Giving up his voice out of love for the mermaid Princess (which goes wildly unwell), Kyran reluctantly journeys with the Princess to KILL the Prince who had wronged her. An orphan of shipwreck, Kyran was granted the gift to live between the land and sea. Years of knowing the mermaid princess since the day she found him lost and afraid, lead him to love her (quite unbeknownst to her).
The Prologue is in a very rhythmic FAIRYTALE format. From there, the Chapters will be in a more MODERNIZED format (not quite omniscient, not quite one perspective. But certainly not all perspectives... I hope I chose the porridge bowl, chair, and bed that's juussst riiiiiiight.)
After reading “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Anderson, I was intrigued and disturbed. So a year or so ago, I wrote my own rendition of the wonder tale. Originally, it was a short story critiquing that period's dominant cultural values that depicted virtue in falling in love with the superficial (predominantly regarding wealth, power, elegance and beauty). However, I decided to turn the short into a longer novel, and who knows... perhaps a series.
Also, don't get "the Flounder Boy" confused with "Flounder" from Disney ;) I know. I shouldn't have done that, but... i really like the title. So bear with me!

A Pearl in Your Ocean | Rafayel LADS Isekai Fanfic
Enid should have drowned when she fell abroad her cruise, but in her final moments, she felt the ocean speak to her: it grants her a second chance at life in the LADs universe if she agrees to help mend the broken heart of her favorite character-Rafayel. But Enid is depressed, fresh out of an abusive relationship, and struggling to find her self-worth in a world that constantly undermines it. Can a broken person really heal another broken person? And what about Rafayel's centuries of unrequited love for MC? This is an introspective, smutty (Chapter 4 onwards) and very fluffy adventure about the whirl-wind romance between two broken people. There is occasional angst but no stupid miscommunication. Can be read as reader-insert from first person POV. Enid's experiences and feelings mirror my own as someone with CPTSD, but I understand it will not represent everyone's experience with trauma and depression.Complete
