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.)

Take My Heart to the Depths by VanillaRednight
6 parts Complete Mature
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?

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.

I have been on display for the humans as long as I can remember. I'm nothing but a trained seal, a show pony.

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"
