In the seaside town of Sweet Haven, where the rhythms of the tide dictate life, change comes like a storm in the form of Bluto, a charismatic writer whose stories captivate a community yearning for renewal. At the heart of it all is Olive Oyl, a musician whose haunting songs hold the weight of the past and the promise of the future. Her delicate balance between tradition and transformation begins to waver under the influence of Bluto's bold tales and Popeye's quiet devotion.

For years, Popeye has channeled his unspoken love for Olive into driftwood sculptures, finding solace in their raw simplicity. But as Bluto's presence disrupts Sweet Haven, Olive's music takes on a new energy-one inspired by Bluto's narratives yet unfamiliar to those who know her best. Tensions rise, and loyalties are tested as Olive, Popeye, and Bluto wrestle with the shifting currents of art, love, and identity.

Against the backdrop of a fading fishing industry and a divided community, The Tides We Left Behind is a lyrical exploration of ambition and loss, the complexity of human connection, and the art we create from the fragments of our lives. With echoes of Chekhov's The Seagull, this poignant novel captures the ache of unfulfilled dreams and the beauty of resilience.

Will Sweet Haven weather the storm, or will the tides of change carry its people-and their hearts-farther than they're ready to go?

Perfect for fans of literary drama and stories of small-town life, this novel will leave readers thinking about the shores they call home and the legacies they leave behind.

Sinking Into You by girlinqueing

She was the golden girl who disappeared. He was the boy who never stopped watching her shine. Now they're working under the same roof-and the waves are getting harder to ignore. Adrianna "Addie" Sinclair used to be unbeatable-an Olympic-bound swimmer with medals, fame, and the pressure of a nation on her shoulders. But one panic attack during a high-stakes race shattered everything. Years later, she's swapped podiums for fins, performing as a professional mermaid at Aqua Haven, where she hides behind sequins, smiles, and carefully controlled distance. Enter Leo Hayes: marine vet, soft-hearted dork, and the guy who used to watch Addie swim like she ruled the ocean. When a surprise blind date throws them together, sparks fly-but so do Addie's defenses. She doesn't do vulnerability. And she definitely doesn't do second chances. But fate's not finished. When Leo starts working at Aqua Haven, their lives collide all over again. And this time, Leo isn't content to watch from the sidelines. He wants to know the real her-the girl behind the glitter, the grief, the guarded sarcasm. And Addie? She's starting to want to be seen. As walls crack and chemistry builds, Addie has to decide: can she risk her heart again? Or will she keep swimming for safety-before love pulls her under? Started: February 9, 2024 Status: Ongoing

I Fell in love With U Twice ~(A Miraculous FanFic) by IlikeMaffles

"Love, is a feeling that goes beyond words; it's a deep, unshakeable connection that binds people together in ways that can be both simple and overwhelmingly powerful. It's the warmth you feel from someone's presence, the peace in just knowing they're there, and the comfort of being entirely yourself without fear. Love is seeing someone's imperfections and caring for them even more because of them. It's a force that inspires us to be better, kinder, and stronger, as well as a softness that allows us to be vulnerable and open. Love is laughter and understanding, passion and patience, joy and resilience. It's something that grows over time, building layer by layer, yet it can also surprise you in an instant, taking root before you even realize it."... ---------------------------------------------------- QUICK WARNING ⚠️ THIS STORY IS GOING TO CONTAIN: FULL ON SMUT SCENES, EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, AND VIOLENCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! I LOWKEY CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. This book is going to be focused on the Marichat ship, then slowly shift towards the Adrinette ship. (These have always been my fav ships).

And when she finally makes it, her ship is attacked by the champion of the Spanish Armada, a young captain fighting pirates to avenge his father. That battle pushes Marina back to the sea, yearning to take it back on the young captain, who turns out to be no other than the son of her father's sworn enemy. All they want is to kill each other, and they'll sail the Caribbean Sea tirelessly until they come across each other. An encounter they were destined to since they were born, and that will change their lives forever.
