Mermaids and sirens where figments of a child's imagination, characters in story and movies. Fantastical creations that couldn't possibly exits. And yet so many hold out hope that they do. That the wondrous beauty's inhabiting the untouchable watery kingdom lived.
But they don't...
Do they?
Smiling Finn was a pirate, and just like any other pirate, he had heard the triumphant myth of how sailors and fishermen had rid the oceans of the beautiful mer.
But nobody said anything about the nightmarish Sirens or their talons sharp enough to cleave bone and flesh. Or their scales like ink and eyes an endless vortex.
Because they were meant to be a myth. Not something living and existing, hidden for millennia from prying eyes.
And they still held resentment for there sisters extinction.

Waterline
"Sirens: the cruelest creature in the whole ocean. If a heartbreak isn't enough, imagine losing your memory and being stuck in the ocean forever. Not like they intended to do that, it's the only way to have your life back. Anyways, isn't it ironic for a siren to switch lives with a human is through a kiss? A person with a broken heart should be cared for and is not something to play around with. Rules change in the ocean, heartbroken people are what sirens strive for. Most of the time it doesn't matter because at one point, they were heart broken. The gods above must've took a pity on us. Our painful feelings leave us, creating a clueless monster with no pain. The poor siren has no memory of their past life except for a certain hobby. It's not the worst thing; sirens get another try when they find another heartbroken fellow. Your opinion of us doesn't matter in the end. We all want one thing: a happy ending" [Note: All characters belong to me except for Conor and Libby, who were made by someone else.] [The cover is not mine and was made by an amazing person named TheQueensofSlytherin]Complete
The Captain and Siren
Captain Kieran Crowe fears nothing-not the gallows, not the navy, not the sea itself. But when his hunt for treasure drives The Iron Serpent into siren waters, he meets a fate no blade can fight. He encounters the daughter of the siren queen, her voice a lullaby that lures men to their doom. Yet when her coven drags Crowe's crew beneath the waves, she spares him. Predator and prey clash on a forsaken shore-his defiance against her hunger, her song against his will-until something deeper binds them. Their love is violent, impossible, undeniable. Together they defy sea and shore, fighting witches, mutiny, and curses that would tear them apart. But the sea does not forgive, and every joy comes shadowed by loss. From black-sailed raids to London's gray streets, theirs is a bond that scars, burns, and endures. And when death finally claims them, pirate and siren are reunited on a silver shore, the Iron Serpent reborn beneath eternal skies. A tale of ruin and salvation, of storm and tide. Love was never gentle for them-yet it was forever. ⛔️Trigger Warnings ⚠️‼️ This story contains mature and potentially distressing content, including: Violence & Death: graphic descriptions of battle, drowning, mutilation, and death.

No Longer Our Sea (Book 1)
Sirens are foretold to be breathtakingly beautiful, enchanting, and merciless with their victims. A siren's voice is like poison to their prey: it consumes, it tortures, it destroys. To give mercy to the humans is to be weak, but mercy is all their Princess is made of. Aelila Corearien is the opposite of any other siren. She's selfless, affectionate, incapable of a kill: weak. When the humans poison her kind with a new deadly weapon after years of not attacking, it costs Aelila one of her own and her mother's impending wrath. The Siren Queen sends her daughter on land to carry out her revenge: to kill the human King once and for all. Aelila then finds herself sent into the midst of the human royal court to fulfill her mother's biding, but there's one problem. Aelila can't kill, and she doesn't want to become the monster the deed would make her. Instead, Aelila is thrown into a courtly battle as she faces enemies, self-doubt, and her growing affections for a human Prince. • 🌊||COMPLETED||🌊 🏆#10 in "sirens" 2/26/19 🏆#5 in "creatures" 3/18/19 🏆#1 in "seas" 5/21/19 🏆#15 in "medieval" 7/8/19 🏆#25 in "mystical" 9/15/19 🏆#3 in "siren" 10/17/19 🧜🏼♀️ 1k on July 6, 2019‼️ 🧜🏼♀️ 2k on November 28, 2019‼️ Cover by: @Jells_Complete
Return (mxm)
I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.
