~My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,
There is nothing can console me but my jolly sailor bold.~

In folklore mermaids are shown as delicate beautiful creatures, but to the men who live on the sea, mermaids are truly fearsome beasts. Pirates and sailors alike feared the mermaid, for few men ever lived to tell the tale of meeting one.

Marina is a young mermaid, knowing little more than how to successfully seduce and devour her victims. Capturing the hearts of men was an art, they seldom needed lure with more than the promise of a kiss. 

A captain sets out on a journey to slay a rare black tailed mermaid in a twisted plot of revenge, using Marina as a tool.
Yet the question remains: will Marina live through the events? And why can't she shake this eerie feeling that she has around the Captain, accompanied by an unsettling longing towards Jasper, a recent addition to the Captain's crew...

The Siren's Call by TylaStone

➖After her mother's death, seventeen year old Karis tries to drown herself and is mysteriously saved by a boy who assumed she was unconscious. But some things he says don't add up, and he realizes the consequences of his actions, since saving drowning humans is against the law. So he gives her two choices: Never speak a word of what happened and go back to whatever life she despised so much, Or Come with him to an underwater city she never thought existed. After choosing the latter in a risky gamble, both her and the boy might be in for more than they bargained for when they discover the city is under attack. Will they be able to save it and the people in it in time, or will following the boy be a big mistake? After all, not every siren needs a song. ➖ Status: completed (but hopefully there will be a book two) 〰️Based off of a writing prompt 〰️ Text copyright © TylaStone ™️ 2018

The ocean wrapped around me, chasing away the demons. Eliminating all the worries of the world. Until just me, and the sea remained. All the weight of the world was carried away on the tide as I sank into the blue. The rising sun filtered down through the water like a rainbow after rain. Now most people would be worried right now.

Divers Dark and Down by _starving_soul

Of all the blades and bullets in the world, nothing cuts like a song. Whispers on the wind that burrow deep into the heart of any man with ears and often from the mouths of others. Merchants with eyes for gold and gilding hearing of pearls and drops of sun. Sailors with hands for nets hearing of waters like glass full of creatures unknown. Even scholars, who've lived for little else but maps, parchment, and pages Soaked with ink, turn to the world for more than knowledge, or satins, silks, or spices. Lured by a tune like a fish to a hook, hungry for a dream. But what if that dream comes at a cost more hefty than coin? What if the price cuts as deep as the song, And soaks your hands redder than the ledger you're desperate to fill. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Since the first siren sighting, people have told tales of their dangers, warning Sailors to be wary of their bewitching songs, lest they lead them early to a dark Watery grave. Only a fool would leave his ears open to a Sirens song, or so many have been told, until Whispers of magic stranger and more enticing came, rumors of miracles and medicine made possible if you were brave enough to face the seas to claim a Sirens scales. Since the rising tide of such tales, the seas became far quieter, as rich choruses of song were sharply silenced, and the ocean itself became even more vicious with fury at its children being hunted. Hunted by Scholars thirsty for forbidden wisdom. Hunted by merchants greedy for more bloodstained wealth. Hunted by soldiers, clad in royal colors, setting out by the thousands to collect for their king. A queen cries out to the ocean for help. For a hero to save her children. And the ocean sends no hero. The ocean sends pirates. The ocean sends those who once fled from the sound of Sirens songs, now singing choruses of their own, brandishing scales of silver and steel, hungering for things greater than gold. They want glory. They want blood. They want revenge. They want a kings head.

The Captain and Siren by kinkycow19

Captain Kieran Crowe fears nothing-not the gallows, not the navy, not the sea itself. But when his hunt for treasure drives The Iron Serpent into siren waters, he meets a fate no blade can fight. He encounters the daughter of the siren queen, her voice a lullaby that lures men to their doom. Yet when her coven drags Crowe's crew beneath the waves, she spares him. Predator and prey clash on a forsaken shore-his defiance against her hunger, her song against his will-until something deeper binds them. Their love is violent, impossible, undeniable. Together they defy sea and shore, fighting witches, mutiny, and curses that would tear them apart. But the sea does not forgive, and every joy comes shadowed by loss. From black-sailed raids to London's gray streets, theirs is a bond that scars, burns, and endures. And when death finally claims them, pirate and siren are reunited on a silver shore, the Iron Serpent reborn beneath eternal skies. A tale of ruin and salvation, of storm and tide. Love was never gentle for them-yet it was forever. ⛔️Trigger Warnings ⚠️‼️ This story contains mature and potentially distressing content, including: Violence & Death: graphic descriptions of battle, drowning, mutilation, and death.

Sea of Remnants by EvieWaters8

The sea roared, not with joy, but with fury. Hurricane Belladonna ripped through the underwater kingdom of Aquaris, tearing apart vibrant coral cities and, worst of all, separating Princess Marina from her beloved mother, Queen Mariana. Now, with scales magically transformed into legs and a heart aching for reunion, Marina walks a dangerous tightrope on the surface world. Disguised among the boisterous, rum-soaked docks and salt-laced taverns frequented by pirates, Marina plays the part of a wide-eyed landlubber, her true royal birth a perilous secret. Every hushed conversation, every discarded map, every scurvy-ridden face is a potential clue to her mother's whereabouts. Her quest is fraught with peril, shadowed by the threat of discovery and the crushing weight of her kingdom's loss. But the surface world holds more than just answers. Amidst the raucous clamor of a pirate den, a melody cuts through the chaos. It's Vam, a lanky, sun-kissed banjoist with eyes that dance like seafoam and a smile that disarms even the most hardened buccaneer. Marina, initially drawn by his music, finds herself unexpectedly captivated by his warmth and irreverent charm. Under a canvas of unfamiliar stars, their souls intertwine, a melody of two worlds finding perfect harmony for one unforgettable night. Their clandestine connection ignites a perilous journey, intertwining Marina's urgent search with a forbidden, intoxicating love. As she navigates treacherous waters, dodging suspicious eyes and deciphering cryptic clues, Marina is torn. Will she find her mother and reclaim her past, or will Vam and the exhilarating freedom of the surface world lead her down a path she truly wants to be on - a path where her destiny is her own to choose, even if it means defying the very tides that molded her? It's an action-romance filled adventure that will force Marina to discover not just her queen, but the queen she was always meant to be.

Waterline by Donaughty108

"Sirens: the cruelest creature in the whole ocean. If a heartbreak isn't enough, imagine losing your memory and being stuck in the ocean forever. Not like they intended to do that, it's the only way to have your life back. Anyways, isn't it ironic for a siren to switch lives with a human is through a kiss? A person with a broken heart should be cared for and is not something to play around with. Rules change in the ocean, heartbroken people are what sirens strive for. Most of the time it doesn't matter because at one point, they were heart broken. The gods above must've took a pity on us. Our painful feelings leave us, creating a clueless monster with no pain. The poor siren has no memory of their past life except for a certain hobby. It's not the worst thing; sirens get another try when they find another heartbroken fellow. Your opinion of us doesn't matter in the end. We all want one thing: a happy ending" [Note: All characters belong to me except for Conor and Libby, who were made by someone else.] [The cover is not mine and was made by an amazing person named TheQueensofSlytherin]

Song of A Siren by Seth189

(Original idea for story comes from Disc0St1ck, they're just letting me write the story :) Scott. A siren. Jimmy. A human. Two different worlds that somehow come together. Jimmy just started college at Orange Blossom University, a college by the beach that had their own sailing team. Jimmy didn't think much of it and hoped that it was just going to be a couple of fun years at college. Well he was wrong. Ethan, captain of the sailing team, ends up spotting something...unusual in the water. It looked like it had a fish tail and gills, but besides that it was human. Was it a human?? Was it a fish?? Or was it a siren?? Find out now! (Again, the entire idea for this story is by Disc0St1ck) (Cover art is taken by me!!!) This work belongs to me, @Seth189.
