anxiety choir cute depression drama early2000s fantasy firstperson magic merfolk mermaid merman romance sad singing spells ya youngadult

Penny Springfield lives inside her mind. She's shy, and other students bully her at school. Even her best friend doesn't do much to help; she's seeing Penny's secret crush. But things are about to change in a big way, and it starts with an audition for the choir solo.

(I've worked on this for a long time, off and on, and originally started writing it before 2010, so it roughly takes place around 2003/4. A lot of this is inspired by my high school experience and my issues of being bullied and having friends who were not bullied, but didn't exactly do much to help.)All Rights Reserved

Water by BethanyRose86

The Invisible Tide (Rewritten) by ViviDreams

Aria Morales is a girl of secrets. At school, she's invisible by choice-quiet, guarded, and perfectly forgettable. After hours, she's a vlogger with a secret side no one knows. And underneath it all? She's something more: a mermaid with elemental powers tied to her emotions-and one mistake away from being exposed. She's spent years keeping those versions of herself separate. But when a class project forces her to work with Jack Carter-the school's golden quarterback with a reputation for breaking hearts-everything starts to slip. One accidental touch. One water spill. One breath too deep. And suddenly, Aria's carefully controlled world is threatening to unravel. Staying invisible was the plan. But the more time she spends around Jack, the harder it gets to hide who she really is. One project. One secret. And a boy who could ruin everything without even trying. ᴄᴏᴘʏʀɪɢʜᴛ © 2025 ʙʏ ᴠɪᴠɪ ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ. ᴛʜɪꜱ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ᴏʀ ᴀɴʏ ᴘᴏʀᴛɪᴏɴ ᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴏꜰ ᴍᴀʏ ɴᴏᴛ ʙᴇ ʀᴇᴘʀᴏᴅᴜᴄᴇᴅ ᴏʀ ᴜꜱᴇᴅ ɪɴ ᴀɴʏ ᴍᴀɴɴᴇʀ ᴡʜᴀᴛꜱᴏᴇᴠᴇʀ ᴡɪᴛʜᴏᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇxᴘʀᴇꜱꜱ ᴡʀɪᴛᴛᴇɴ ᴘᴇʀᴍɪꜱꜱɪᴏɴ ᴏꜰ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡʀɪᴛᴇʀ ᴇxᴄᴇᴘᴛ ꜰᴏʀ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜꜱᴇ ᴏꜰ ʙʀɪᴇꜰ Qᴜᴏᴛᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ ɪɴ ᴀ ʙᴏᴏᴋ ʀᴇᴠɪᴇᴡ. © ᴀʟʟ ʀɪɢʜᴛꜱ ʀᴇꜱᴇʀᴠᴇᴅ.

Chaos by Ameliavb2009

Hey, I am Amelia, a person with a wide range of fantasies and a lot of stories I have always wanted to tell. This book was my chance to finally tell my fantasies to the world. Ever since I was younger I never seemed to fit in. I started writing a book full of short stories. I showed these stories to teachers and my friends and they loved reading them. A while later I started experimenting with making my own characters out of these stories and those characters are whose story will be shared in this book. Every chapter is a story of one of my characters, some nice and some heartbreaking. I am very excited to finally share their stories with you. Enjoy and good luck on this journey full of chaos and fantasy. Trigger warning: This book mentions mental health problem such as Suicide, SH, eating disorders please search help when you need it.

change your mind | rumi (wlw!) by redmacarooon

"Just Hunter. Not Demon." That's what Rumi told herself, over and over. Until someone ended up showing her just how wrong she was. ** -Oh I can't, stop you putting roots in my dream land.. My house of stone, your ivy grows -()And now I'm covered in you. (A mix between the main canon story and my own little take on if there was a fourth Hunter.. get ready for angst ride and really long chapters)

Shattered Souls by PlattenumSwiftie9685

(Book #3 in the Family Ties Series) Faye was finally starting to feel happy again. With her family and friends safe and the merman she'd grown to love by her side, she'd slipped back into her routine of school, work, and being with her family. Even her depression had begun to level out, bringing a sense of peace and comfort she hadn't felt in a long time. Her reputation as a Siren was no longer a novelty; she could finally return to being under the radar. Or so she thought. After an enemy reveals a heartbreaking family secret (one that could threaten every Siren and their families), Faye will have to work with someone she never thought she could trust to uncover the truth. Will she be able to push past prejudice and history to save every Siren and prevent the destruction of everything and everyone she loves? Read to find out.

Here for you KPDH!Various!xF!Reader by MisoraSaki3

"Is there any meaning to this thing we call living?" "Happiness. That's what convinces people to keep living. It can come from love, joy, or simply something-or someone-you care about." "Chase that, if you can. And if you can't... help someone else find it." "(Y/N), if it doesn't matter to you either way... choose kindness. Do what brings comfort. Be someone who makes the world feel just a little safer." ⸻ From the beginning, demons hunted this world. They stole human souls, feeding them back to their king-Gwi-ma. Then came the hunters. Voices full of power, courage, and hope. They weren't just warriors-they were songbearers. Their music awakened the soul, uniting people across fear and darkness. The first hunters built a shield to protect humanity. They called it the honmoon. And every generation since, three new hunters are chosen to pursue the ultimate goal: to create the Golden Honmoon, a final barrier that will seal the demons away forever. She wasn't meant to be here. Her memories lingered. She remembered who she was-her life, her home, her friends. But all of it was gone now. She had nothing left. (Y/N), reborn, grew up alongside Rumi, raised by Celine. She was never trained, never chosen. But Celine raised her anyways. How could she turn away a baby who appeared from nowhere, with no name, no past, and no one to claim her? (Y/N) didn't become a hunter. Too "soft", too "weak", too "ordinary". She didn't become an idol. She drifted, unremarkable, as if waiting for a life that was never meant to be hers. She wasn't supposed to be part of this story. But she was still here. And with nothing left of her own, all she could do was carry out the wishes of those she'd loved. If she couldn't be happy, then she would make sure others could be. Her happiness didn't matter. She was already lost. But maybe... just maybe... she could still help someone else feel found. And maybe, that would be enough.

Take My Heart to the Depths by VanillaRednight

A story similar to a classic fairy tale, but with a major twist ... What if the little mermaid were a deep sea merman instead? And what if the human he fell in love with went to live with him in the sea instead? Though born as a regular human on land, Henrietta always felt as if she were suffocating. She struggled to survive and belong among her kind. On a night when she sought to end her life at sea, she was rescued by Elsen, a merman who had once felt the same as her. Despite coming from different worlds, their shared experiences instantly built a bridge between them. When misfortune struck again, Henrietta lost her home and was driven to the edge once more. Seeing that she had nowhere else to go, Elsen brought her to his home in the deep sea. Although the ocean depths were tranquil and soothing, Henrietta's heart was still plagued with worries. And she soon discovered that Elsen also had yet to defeat his own demons. Will these two broken souls finally heal and come to love not only each other but themselves as well?
