Once a dream of being washed ashore, spun into a twisting tale of the loved and neglected. Deep within the sea, wonder for the unknown grows. High above the clouds, an exhilarating worldliness prevails. Grounded upon the land, ardent propensities spiral into chaos. All that is conceivable may not be what is tangible. The journey of six men converge at a single point.

Based loosely on island and/or tribal cultures, perhaps their myths as well, idk yet. Putting it here so y'all know before reading ig. Nothing is extremely accurate ofc, I suppose it'll be like a spin-off version.

Uncertain Tides (BoyXBoy) [Editing]
"Waves will ebb and flow, The ocean will give and take, The tides will rise high, The waters may run low, The Tides might be filled with Uncertainty, But there is one thing I am sure, As long as you're with me, I'd be ready, To swim, Into the Uncertain Tides." -★- This is an LGBT+ and a modernday interpretation of Little Mermaid and and most of this is based from the fairytale itself, a ton of things from my mind and a tiny hint of personal experience. Sort of. This book is about the day to day struggle of our Little Mermaid, who lives on the crooked version of this fairytale Watty Awards 2017: Short Story Entry.

Mermaids and Men [mlm]
It all started with a simple question: "If you could do it again... Would you? If you knew that things were going to end this way... Would you still do all of it again? Or would you run from it? Save yourself?" Such a simple question, though maybe not so simple. For when a question like that was asked... A curse was born. The story follows eighteen-year-old Nicholas Fraiser, or just Nicki for short, who moved to America from England when he was about fourteen years old. After moving around a lot because of his family's work, Nicki finally settled in a town called Phanta, where he will be finishing out his senior year. Phanta is a beautiful seaside town, surrounded by the ocean, though a silhouette of an island can very faintly be seen out in the distance. This island holds many secrets and tragedies that Nicki will soon be aware of. Tragedies he may have at one point been a part of. There's something more to Nicki than he realizes. Little does he know, moving to Phanta and meeting three girls was just another step of setting history repeating back in motion. Though... This was set in stone from the very beginning-- from the moment Nicki was born into this world. A path was already laid out in front of him. "You've fought long and hard. I think it's high time you rest. You deserve to. I know you're tired."Complete

Charged with returning the all-too-familiar Prince Valory to the capital by way of the isles, Jack and schooner Windjammer battle storms and sea-monsters alike in Oceana's treacherous waters. Jack's new patron, however, is no ordinary nobleman. A hardened soldier and powerful commander, Valory boards Windjammer to scour the isles for signs of the mysterious new threat at Oceana's borders: an evil that burns innocents alive and smashes ships to pieces. Yet Jack isn't without secrets of his own -- secrets that unravel under the growing intensity of a forbidden attraction to his patron. Forced to reclaim his lost title, Jack comes face-to-face with the past he thought he'd outrun. As Windjammer races to defend Oceana from invasion, he and Valory must work together to untangle the threads of the dark alliance threatening their home, crew, and kingdom -- or risk losing everything in the process.
