~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...

(I do not own the images used in this story, I am truly terrible at computer art )

Sea of Tears by Skylinesandtides
26 parts Ongoing Mature
A human girl/merman historical romance. ◇Prequel to Sea of Dreams ◇ This is the tale of a girl who is swept away into the deep, straight into the arms of a terrifying merman. Can also be read as a stand-alone :) ●Preview● Larissa cried out in alarm along with the riotus pirates as the row boat flipped over into the dark choppy waves. Her voice was instantly cut short by the onslaught of salt water invading her lungs. Beneath the depths, she saw nothing but churning water rushing through her vision. Distant cries of terror and anguish from above the surface filled her ears. Murkey red waves began to swirl all around her, and suddenly, a flashing streak of white, and the glimmer of a silvery blue tail swooshed past her eyes in an effervescent blur. Adrenaline immediately crushed into her, enveloping her sanity. Her heart hammered erractically, and her limbs frantically moved on their own volition, propelling her upward for air. Breaking through the surface, she gasped anxiously for oxygen, while the invading shouts of the English men bombarded the air with the atmosphere of sheer panic. Paralyzing fear gripped her entire being as she looked up, the salt water trailing down her face from her wet hair. One by one, before her very eyes, each man still swimming within the beating waves was mercilessly yanked down into the depths, followed by a splash and glimmer of that same silvery tail whipping back and forth viciously within the churning waters, sending up foamy sprays of water and spurts of pirate blood in it's wake.
