Under The Sea by lance_alvarez

Axel has spent his entire life trapped by the rules that govern his species, taught to fear humans and avoid them at all costs. His father has strived his entire life to keep him within the walls of their Kingdom where he is safe. But Axel's curiosity cannot be contained, no matter how hard his father tries, and when his path crosses with Samuel, a human prince with a past of his own, Axel can't help but give in to his curiosity. As the two grow closer, Axel soon finds the boundaries of his curiosity blurring as he begins to develop feelings he could have never anticipated for Samuel. But in the shadows of the waters that surround the Kingdom of Latistan, an old threat lurks and threatens to bring up the trauma of Axel's past and destroy everything he holds dear.

Thistle in the Sky | #NONC2022 | ✔ by SmokeAndOranges

❖ ''ZF 16 Ariomma to unknown vessel. Please identify yourself. Over.'' ❖ Farah and Kazem are twins working aboard the Ariomma, a trading airship that sails the edges of a flat world. Out here is a frontier far from civilization: a place known as the Tideless, where water lifts from the surface of the sea, and great creatures rise with it. Only some of them are known. This is not a sailing path known for its safety, but the crew of the Ariomma have rarely feared their work. That is, until they find the carcass of another ship hanging in the Tideless, decimated by an unknown enemy. Soon, their flight to safety becomes a fight for their lives, as the monster turns its attention on the Ariomma... and them. ❖❖❖ Written for #NONC2022, a community-run novella festival operating in parallel with Wattpad's 2022 Open Novella Contest.

Uncertain Tides (BoyXBoy) [Editing] by Lehoonnie

"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. [#Wattys2017]
