Sapphire and teal shimmering scales lead down his waist, narrowing down to a beautiful fishlike tail. The fins at the end were long and thin. Adam wiggled his hips a little, causing a dazzling reflection of light on his shiny scales. At first he figured some huge fish had eaten his legs. But nothing that big would be in water this shallow, right? His mind could only come up with one more explanation.
"I'm a.... mermaid?
Adam didn't have anything special about him. He mostly devoted his life to helping other people and the environment. When he saves a water spirit from being tangled in a fishing net, how do they repay him? By giving him a 'gift' that ends up being a major problem. How is he gonna balance the heavy secret of his new power along with his work, his family, and his friends?

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?

My pink little mermaid (HyunBin)
There was something so inexplicable about this beautiful creature before him. The gills on his neck pulsated with the heaving of his chest. His very pink hair- pastel- trailed in the water around his face and when Changbin looked down- The most beautiful pink tail he had ever laid eyes on. Even In the darkness of the water, the scales glinted and shimmered with hues of pinks and even gold. So, so rare because mermaids and mermen had only ever adorned blue scales to blend with the habitat around them. And maybe Changbin really was hallucinating. Maybe this was just the grim reaper- a really ethereal grim reaper- dragging him down to hell instead of to the surface of the water. Before Changbin could open his mouth and ask 'am I going to die?' His lungs finally gave out on him as he breathed, and inhaled the salty sea around him. Or Changbin is saved by a beautiful merman- and years later, he can return the favor when he finds him injured and unconscious at port.

The mermaid's secret tale 🧜🏼♀️₊˚✧𑁍.ೃ࿔*:･🫧 / Aqualuna / Comiverse universe
Rachel always knew she was different. By day, she was just another face in the crowded halls of Crestwood High-a quiet, bookish girl who kept her head down, aced her classes, and secretly crushed on Mike, the boy who made her heart race. But when the sun dipped below the horizon, everything changed. The moment moonlight touched her skin, Rachel transformed into a breathtaking mermaid with shimmering moonlight-purple scales, her legs vanishing into a powerful tail. She had spent her whole life hiding her secret. No one could know what she was-especially not Mike. If anyone discovered the truth, she could be captured, experimented on, or worse. But the ocean was calling her more than ever before. Strange things had begun happening in the waters near Crestwood. Whispers of a forgotten prophecy, a mermaid kingdom in danger, and a mysterious force rising from the depths haunted Rachel's dreams. Then, one night, Rachel witnesses something she wasn't supposed to see-a group of dangerous hunters searching for something... or someone. They spoke of an ancient relic lost beneath the waves, one that could grant ultimate power to whoever wielded it. And they were getting closer. Rachel must decide: continue living her double life in secrecy or embrace the ocean's call to protect her kind. But as she dives deeper into the mystery, she realizes she's not the only one keeping secrets. Because Mike? He's hiding something too... ~🧜♀️🫧⭐️🔱~

Poseidon (Rated R)
Could your deep fear of water be cured by the power of love and unearthly sinful sex? Monica Eulice's fear is common, half the world fears the deep dark depths of the ocean. Not so much the ocean itself but rather what lurks within. Invincible to the eye but it watches you. As a child she has always been drawn to nature, that soon took a turn. without warning that same day, an angry storm suddenly approached, untamed and strong the ocean follows seconds later burying the once known horizon under ten feet of murky waters. Months after the disaster the water suddenly trails back to sea bringing along hundredths of corpses. Few left on the beaches with stomachs ripped out and chewed, some without a torso most without arms. What could have happened? One day strolling around with her nanny, Monica sensed something amiss. A dreadful feeling creeping up onto her from behind, eyes following her tiny form, yet there seems to be no one around. Mindful of the creeping danger she lunged too high up on a rock slipping when the heel of her feet couldn't latch on. Seconds away from crashing her skull onto rocks when she felt her body being levitated. Peeling her eyes open, the water somehow caught her in the air, water can't do that. At least not on its own, all she was able to see was the whip of a tail. Little did she know that tail would lead to something she wasn't prepared for, a friendship she never asked for, and a delicious man she didn't expect with craving she isn't ready for. Though she is a vegetarian, she just couldn't resist his meat.
