Mermaids do not exist. Beneath the roiling waves of the oceans of our world, there are no peoples, no creatures that resemble us, nor are there great cities built into the coral reefs or mountainous trenches of the seas. The humanity of our world is strictly ours: there is nothing else quite like us, no species that wars from within, no species that speaks and lives and fights and struggles and thrives and prays like us. The tyranny of power and its rigid hierarchies occur within human society and human society alone.

Magic is not real. The laws of physics command our world, along with those of other sciences: chemistry, biology, botany, astronomy, and so on. There exists no force beyond our understanding, no supernatural power that can be wielded to alter the world around us beyond the limits of human comprehension. 

Most people live an unexceptional life. They are born, grow up, raise a family, and pass away. Our lives are a set of circumstances, an infinite series of consequences by our ancestors and their ancestors and the world and the stars and nothing, nothing in it matters. Only the chosen few among us will ever touch this godlike, esoteric thing that is greatness.

Sea of Tears by EvangelineNott

A human girl/merman historical romance. (That ocean rizz) ◇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.

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?

Chasing Tide (A Merman's Tale And The Human Who Desired Him) by AlphaKelly

One of the most painful things on earth is to lose a loved one. Whether in death or heartbreak. It's a pain different from all others. You feel every burn, every ache, your senses awaken, and greedily await a memory to sip in and then wreck your entire being. She took everything. His Light. His Heart. His Soul. It had no end. For years it went on like it would never end. But, it did. Just in passing, a normal day, a day like every other, but it was the day, his heart danced truly and his chest tighten as if a fierce wind had passed by, blending with his soul, leaving a suffocating feeling in his chest, a choking sensation in his throat, there was a pressure making it hard to breathe. ******* "My heart has heated for the human and my blood has flown for him. Every time I thought of him, my heart would ache. It would ache so much I couldn't breathe, the feeling of despair, yet sweetness... Even so, I still couldn't stop thinking about him." So...this is how it feels to love a person. "I belong to you, just as this merman belongs to the seas. Like a falling leaf belongs to its roots." "Nothing can stop me from falling into your embrace." ******* ®®

Stolen Dream by KatGallager

"What's it like to find your mate?" Keyvon thought about it for a moment. "It's like finding a really rare treasure that's just been there, waiting for you." "Then what?" "Then it becomes more complicated. You have to prove yourself and prove her, make sure you're right for each other. In doing so, hopefully, you fall in love and learn how you fit." "Like a puzzle?" Keyvon nodded. "Just like that. You protect and care for her, she does the same for you, so that you complete each other." ---- Cover credit to Google images Mature content
