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

We were all hybrids, but with two different kinds of wings. You could have either have bird wings or the one of a dragon. For me, my wings were everything. They were my life, my freedom, and my pride. But after my father's betrayed the King, all our family was also treated as traitors. Our punishment? HELL Every day, as soon as I woke up in the morning until I went to sleep at night, the shadow of my father betrayal always haunted me. He made our lives pitiful. One day, I had enough, so I ran.

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.

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

(OLD VER.) When Mermen Run From Their Demons by ran_over_by_bus

I am, in fact rewriting this soon 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.

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]

The Faces of Sorana: Hercules' Journal by RYNR2009

Sorana is at war. The two major nations of the continent have erupted into a full on major scale war-Frema and Gilheneim. While the two countries are at war, a soldier named Hercules who always wished for solidarity while serving found a peaceful place somewhere in Holedanzl. He would hang out there often viewing the gasping sea. One day, while lounging at his comfort spot, he hears a stick crack. He looks and sees an enemy soldier of Frema. The two, although tension was evident at first, became good friends, hanging out in their spot often. Within those times, something blooms inside of them, a feeling perhaps, or maybe something else. What will happen to the two when war begins shredding the plane of peace and quiet between themselves, and political demands of Sorana.
