boyxboy gay girlxgirl lesbian lgbtq mermaids originalstory queer

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

High Tide (boyxboy) by OnlyoneJoJo

FANTASY/ROMANCE After a harrowing near-death experience in his childhood, Stan has been haunted by a deep yearning to find the mysterious figure who saved him. The memory flickers like a distant star, elusive and shimmering, as he navigates the complexities of adulthood. Now, at 25, he stands at the precipice of resignation, grappling with the growing belief that he may never uncover the identity of his savior. Yet, beneath the surface of his despair, a quiet hope stirs-a whisper of possibility that perhaps, in the unfolding chapters of his life, fate has something remarkable in store for him... something that could change everything.

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. This story is an Achillean twist on the story of "The Little Mermaid" (inspired by both the Disney animated feature and the original tale written by Hans Christen Anderson) [[Word Count: 60,000-70,000]] Trigger Warning: rated mature for sexual scenes, language, emotional trauma, references and descriptions of violence.

Rumours [BxB] ✔️ by redxstorm

↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ Everyone makes at least one mistake in their life; if you don't, you're not human. I just happen to be one of those people who make a lot of mistakes. To start with, there were the Rumours. You know, those things that only powerful people can make up? Yeah. Those. They were the beginning of everything that ever went wrong in my life, but also the thing that led me to the end. Although, I didn't know that at the time, so a few bruises and kisses down the line, I found myself faced with a big problem. I had to choose between three people, all of whom had been lying about everything for months. That wasn't an easy task for someone like me, but the biggest issue? The one who made me cry the most tears was the one I couldn't help but love. ↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ "I never meant to hurt you, River." "Then why did you do it? Why did you do all of those things? I'm not some toy for you to use when you feel like it and then throw away when you're done." ↞↞↞♛↠↠↠ Completed ✔️ Started: 15/03/19 Finished: 18/08/19

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

New version is on my profile lolz (ManxMan) The royal house of the mermaids has fallen to hard times, with the still recent death of their queen. Prince Zacariah Triton is bored of his lackluster life under the sea, so he finds it as a fresh breath of air when he is admitted into an elite school for supernatural creatures and royalty when he turns eighteen. Zac really is happy to get away from his father for the next few years. He sets his mind to learning about the dry world that his mother was so fascinated with. That is, until he meets Trevor Brooks, the most feared person at this new school. Why is he feared? Because he's the first ever demon to be granted access to leave Hell. A series of sinister events lead both Zac and Trevor to believe they're being targeted by other demons in Hell, their theory is that they want to get Zac's trident. If they get the trident, they will be as powerful as the Gods themselves, and most likely destory the realms. So Zac and Trevor have no choice but to go into hiding. The main question is, just how fucked up can Zac get before they break him? And is Trevor really falling in love, or just falling under his siren song? ⚠️WARNING⚠️ Content not suitable for those who are triggered by: Gore, death, swearing (lots of it), suggestive scenes, sexual interactions between two men, implications of mental illness, and abuse.
