These Gilded Seas by AmyJohnson895

There's one thing in the world that Arielle hates above all else. Humans. Eighty years ago, the human kingdom of Anjord destroyed the merfolk kingdom of Vandya and banished her people to a distant corner of the sea. Since then, the merfolk have become little more than a myth to the rest of the world. But when the formidable Prince Eero crosses the border into her kingdom, Ari has reason to believe he's trying to start another war -- one her father won't engage in. Desperate to protect her people and get her own revenge, Ari makes a deal with her exiled uncle. In exchange for legs and the opportunity to kill the crown prince of Anjord, Ari trades the warlock her seat on the throne. Now, she has one month to bury a dagger in the prince's back or lose her home and future. In this dark retelling of The Little Mermaid, Arielle's alliances will be tested as she discovers a plot thicker than honey and romance in the most unexpected places.

His Sinful Infatuation by Laena_writes

Her siren ebony eyes sang to him a beautiful melody of fear so hypnotizing that he could not find it in himself to look away. For the first time, he felt his heartbeat drumming violently against his ribcage, a reaction to her call. He heard her song, and he was coming. With the corner of his lips curved into a smirk, he marched towards her; if drowning and burning into holy water was what it took to have her, he would swim right through it because she was his the moment he laid his eyes on her. ...

Deep Sea by shayoung7

The sea "The sea... it's not just our home, it's our everything. It's where my family's secrets hide, where our history whispers through the currents. Every wave carries a story, every tide a lesson. I feel the sea's heartbeat, its pulse echoing mine. My family's legacy is woven into the sea's fabric. I feel proud to be a guardian of these secrets, a keeper of our mermaid traditions.(by meta) The sea is a cold, unforgiving abyss, A graveyard of lost souls, where darkness dismiss. Its waves crash against the shore, a mournful dirge, A reminder of the horrors that lurk beneath. In its depths, terrors lurk, unseen and unknown, Monsters that feast on fear, and souls overthrown.....(by draven) The sea.... my home It is my everything, it is a part of me I love the sea and the sea loves me Why? I hate the sea, the sea left me Am I not good enough It's gone The sea has a significant meaning to everyone for me it reminds me of home, how I feel safe in her hands, she's my home but then she left me with all the burdens, she is gone, never to be seen again, maybe in the Dreamland, but who I'm I kidding she kept visiting everyone in the dream except me What do you think of the sea?

Sea of Tears by EvangelineNott

A human girl/merman historical romance. ◇Prequel to Sea of Dreams ◇ This is the tale of a girl who is swept away into the deep, straight into the arms of a terrifying merman. Can also be read as a stand-alone :) ●Preview● Larissa cried out in alarm along with the riotus pirates as the row boat flipped over into the dark choppy waves. Her voice was instantly cut short by the onslaught of salt water invading her lungs. Beneath the depths, she saw nothing but churning water rushing through her vision. Distant cries of terror and anguish from above the surface filled her ears. Murkey red waves began to swirl all around her, and suddenly, a flashing streak of white, and the glimmer of a silvery blue tail swooshed past her eyes in an effervescent blur. Adrenaline immediately crushed into her, enveloping her sanity. Her heart hammered erractically, and her limbs frantically moved on their own volition, propelling her upward for air. Breaking through the surface, she gasped anxiously for oxygen, while the invading shouts of the English men bombarded the air with the atmosphere of sheer panic. Paralyzing fear gripped her entire being as she looked up, the salt water trailing down her face from her wet hair. One by one, before her very eyes, each man still swimming within the beating waves was mercilessly yanked down into the depths, followed by a splash and glimmer of that same silvery tail whipping back and forth viciously within the churning waters, sending up foamy sprays of water and spurts of pirate blood in it's wake.
