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

They have been an awesome friend of mine and they even made the cover for this story along with helping me refine the idea. I sincerely hope you all enjoy this story since I worked on it for the better part of a month. Happy birthday, Ty!

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.

"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.

Return (mxm) by Forever_Be_Loved

I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony. Something to "ooh" and "ahh" at by young and old their hands and faces pressed against the glass of my prison. I follow every order. I obey every command. I have to, though I resent his control over my life with every fiber of my being. If I disobey, if I become too much of a problem, he may give me exactly what I wish for. He may let me return. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore. Please read at your own discretion- Highest rankings thanks to all of you wonderful readers! : #5 in "Mermaid" #17 in "Sirens"

Ari and Zac by adam_and_jane

Ari Callahan has no idea how to talk to boys -- or how to talk to anyone for that matter. Enter Zac, the cute new guy in town who won't stop texting her. But is his interest real, or does he have a hidden agenda? ***** Found as a young child washed up on the beach, 17-year-old Ari Callahan has never uttered a word out loud to anyone -- not even her adoptive family. Psychologists have diagnosed her with a condition called selective mutism, but Ari can't help identifying with her namesake character, Ariel, the little mermaid in the fairytale whose voice was stolen by a sea witch. Mermaid-obsession aside, Ari's silence makes socializing tough. She's never had a boyfriend or been asked out on a date. Not until Zac, the confident new arrival in town, asks for her number. But Zac has his own reasons for texting with Ari. He's part of a movement to sabotage the artificial music app called SirenSong, threatening to render human singing obsolete. Zac's collaborators have scoured the globe in search of a singing voice perfect enough to break the SirenSong spell, and their search has led them straight to Ari's beachside town. Will her relationship with Zac help Ari find her voice and unlock the secrets of her origins? Or will he use her and leave her high and dry? Title: Ari and Zac (formerly The Mermaid Hypothesis) Content Warning: This story contains references to selective mutism, suicidal thoughts, and early childhood trauma.

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.
