Two sides of the same coin. One ambush. One love story.

When the secret of the healing properties of merfolk blood come out, a massacre begins. The landfolk go for their blood. The merfolk retaliate. Lives are lost of both sides- this chapter of the history books is soaked in red.

After the massacre, the two sides withdraw and live apart in relative peace. On land: A prince, a serving boy, a body guard, a handmaiden, and a princess. And from the sea: A stranded Siren, and two others set on bringing him home. Easy operation turns nightmare as sparks fly, swords clash, and pirates seize the kingdom.

When home, friends, and love has been taken from you, where do you run? And how hard do you fight?All Rights Reserved

Wanderlust (mxm) by juliecotewriter

Lord Tanden is finally free. Free from his family's obligations, free to sail around the world, free to explore. It's all he's ever wanted, to be allowed to experience everything life has to offer, away from the stuffy meeting halls of his childhood. To indulge his wanderlust. However, wanderlust isn't the only thing he's after. Captain Tanden is rich, he's charming, and he's handsome. He knows he can get the prettiest girl or the most attractive man in every port. Yet, he knows that none of them will hold his interest for long. He's always moved quickly, from one country to the next, from one lover to someone else. No one can keep up, but he doesn't mind. Tanden's life and adventures are a game he's destined to play on his own. But then he meets Soren in a bar, and things change. Soren isn't just an excellent sailor and fantastic candidate for first mate, he might be capable of keeping up. He might be the only person willing to play Tanden's game.

The Little Mermaid ✦ M! Reader by 3M5KYY

F/N has always been fascinated by the world above the waves, longing to experience the lives of the humans who sail the seas. When he rescues a Prince from a deadly shipwreck, his curiosity turns into something deeper-an undeniable yearning to be part of the human's world. Desperate for a chance to see him again, F/N strikes a deal with the cunning Sea Witch, Ursula, trading his voice for the chance to walk on land. But what seemed like a dream come true quickly unravels into a nightmare when Ursula's true intentions are revealed. With both the ocean and the human world at risk of falling under her dark rule, F/N must find the strength to defy the powerful sorceress, reclaim his destiny, and fight for the love-and the future-he never expected to find.

The Ocean's Lover by stormesbookclub

My father was a fisherman. My mother was a whore. I was a product of my environment. I grew up in a small town, along the seaside. Everyone knew everyone, and nothing was ever private. It was like having one big, nosy family. So when I nearly drowned and was saved by not one, but three, mysterious women, you can imagine that it was the talk of the town. Father claims that they were mermaids. I claim that he's a mad man. On an unrelated note, three beautiful women just moved into town...

There's A Boy in my Bed (BoyxBoy) by Youroffputting

"We can't do this." I whisper as our lips re-connect, a tingling fire surging through my body as his hands ravage unexplored lands; my innocence dissipating away with every peck he trails down my neck. "I know we can't. That's why it's so exciting." He replies through kisses. His effortless charm intoxicates me; drowning me; hunting me; devouring me. "What if my brother finds out?" The perpetuated patter of the rain unable to subdue my groan as he digs his nails deeper into my skin. "Who cares." ********** Welcome to my story, where an innocent boy finds a not so innocent boy in his bed; where they do not so innocent things. - YOP

Drawn to the Sea by blue_star_stories

You're my new science project." ~~~~~ Douglass finds himself in a risky situation when he's caught up in a net while swimming back to his cave.

What happens when they realize that they're uncovering something much bigger? ~~~~~ Contains foul language, some disturbing scenes ( experiments on the siren, violent deaths), mild violence, and a brief implication of suicide in one chapter. Updates are every Wednesday and Friday. FEATURES A GAY RELATIONSHIP! If you don't like it, don't read it.
