A modern Cinderella story... under the sea.

Down in the depths of the Pacific, 19-year-old aspiring artist Ella Bentik could care less about clothes, makeup and parties like her older sisters; all that matters is achieving her dream and getting out of this dump. Then she unknowingly befriends the very party host her sisters are always raving about: Genesis Marmoris, a wealthy young celebrity with a reputation for being crazy and aloof. Between Genesis' far-fetched conspiracy theories, Ella's inexplicable recurring nightmares, and both of their connections to the land, Ella realizes that there may be more to their relationship than she thought. She begins to question what her true purpose is... and if it's possible to have more than just one.

Ocean Blue | gxg ✓ by Olivaughn

[Wattpad's Summer Reading Checklist 2022 Pick] "'Hella heavy' is your response to seeing me with a literal fish tail?" "Sorry. Should ... should it be something else? Wait, does this mean that you can't eat sushi?" * * * * * When Alyssa shows up in Hulhazy Front a week after wiping the memory of her partner, she's terrified of ruining everything again. Her brother and dad are convinced she'll be okay as soon as she's able to "move on", which makes no sense to her, because they sound like the exact same thing. Alyssa doesn't care about moving on--she just cares about hiding the fact that she's a mermaid from this new small town, and especially her new coworker, Elliot. Elliot has spent the past year trying to figure out how to be out. It seems that every time she finds some kind of balance, something has to happen. Her parents say something homophobic before she's about to confess her "big secret," or her old friends from the swim team make some jab about all the things they're convinced Elliot did sophomore year. She's planning on her summer consisting of working at the public pool, hiding her sexuality, and third-wheeling it up with her best friends, Neema and Duncan. Until, of course, she meets Alyssa. *cover created using graphics from freepik*

Fragile Desires [𝟏𝟖+] [𝐆𝐱𝐆] by weekendlustt

"Kiss me," I whispered, the need dripping off of my soft voice a tangible weight in the air. Renata leaned closer, sending a jolt through my flushed body. But just before our lips could meet, she paused, her gaze holding mine captive, "You first," a challenge laced in her lowered voice. I drew in a deep breath when her hand pressed firmly against my back, curving my body closer to hers. "Me?" I echoed in surprised. A knowing smirk played on her lips, "If you want me to kiss you," she began, her voice a drawn-out whisper-tightening her grip around me and easily molding me to her body, "Then do it yourself." ♛ In a world of royal alliances and high-tech mergers, soon-to-be Queen Azura finds herself entangled in a dangerous game of sex scandals and murder when she forms an alliance with the headstrong Renata Rivera, the CEO of a powerful cyber security firm. As accusations fly and dark secrets emerge, Azura must navigate the endless waters of betrayal and deceit, unaware of what truths could lurk in the shadows. And with tensions rising and alliances shifting, Azura must quickly decide who to trust. But she quickly learns to never trust anyone, especially in a world built purely to destroy anyone who dares to enter it.

The Jellyfish Messenger by alexfran1999

What lurks within the abyss? Deep beneath Earth's expansive oceans, there exists a race of people unbeknownst to most humans, who live in an underwater realm all their own- the Seafolk. An ancient evolutionary offshoot of human beings, these mysterious entities dwell in the remote depths of the sea, their forms taking after an array of sea creatures to create a society of waterbound humanoids perfectly adapted to their environment. Loosely structured kingdoms of Seafolk exist throughout the world, and one of these is the domain of Princess Tamayori, the oarfish folk ruler of the Sea of Japan. Set to marry Prince Stellaris of the Antarctic Ocean to unite the two distant kingdoms, the message of her betrothal falls into the hands of Kurage, a jellyfish folk who serves the princess as one of her many loyal messengers. Determined to faithfully serve her beloved master, Kurage embarks on a dangerous journey into the open sea alongside Chrystal, a fellow jellyfish messenger who isn't pleased about her job being assigned to someone else. The two messengers must put aside their differences and work together to survive the perils of the great ocean, realizing that the world is far bigger and more unfathomable than they could have ever imagined. As the treacharous trip continues, they also soon discover that the royals of the Seafolk, including Princess Tamayori, are not as noble as they seem...
