In a quiet corner of the past, Mameko finds herself in the care of João, after escaping a life of cruel slavery. He is a kind-hearted sailor whose life at sea has taught him the depths of solitude and the strength of tenderness. Bearing the invisible marks of her own harsh history, Mameko struggles to find her footing in the unfamiliar calm of freedom João offers. Together, they navigate the delicate waters of healing and companionship, seeking solace in each other from the storms they've weathered.
As they learn the rhythms of trust and the language of care, can they forge a future that honors their pasts but is no longer anchored to them?
(Originally posted on ao3, decided to post it here too.)
(Also Author Note: Hi!! Just as a note, this work does take place in the late 1500s, and while I do my absolute best to preserve historical accuracy, I do take artistic liberties at times. Also, as a general warning, this first chapter is a bit rough, as it gives context into her capture and time in slavery. João probably won't show up until Chapter 3 or 4 so just stick with me here. Also I don't speak Portuguese so I apologize for any errors there.)

Migrate to me
Preparing to start a new chapter of his life working in the polished elite world of plastic surgery, Doctor Lee Minho is suddenly jerked into the past when a memory he'd long given up on reaches out. Flying to the remote protected island of Aear he hopes to get answers and find closure for wounds left to rot by his best friend's sudden disappearance years ago. Landing on pristine beaches he's thrown into a world he could never have imagined where instead of answers he finds lies, heartbreak, and the cutest cult leader/nurse from hell... oh, and fucking mermaids. - "Please." Wiggling his eyebrows Jisung flashes a teasing grin. "If I wanted to kill you I wouldn't have purposefully missed when I threw the coffee cup." Snorting at his joke Minho wades in up to his calves before coming to a stop. "Like hell you missed. Your aim sucks...." (Jisung is a sassy smart-ass who hates Minho on sight. Minho is stubborn, whipped and wants Jisung...badly) 🙏 If mermaids aren't your thing, I hope you will still give this a try! I was aiming for unique, fun, angsty and lots of Minsung love.Complete

Reading is Fundamental
This was officially the most uncomfortable day of Percy's life. ----- "Percy, I don't know what happened to you when you were young, but denying that it ever happened isn't the answer." It'd worked pretty well for him so far. "Who said anything about denying it?" he asked. The look Apollo gave him felt almost parental. He pointed in the direction of the throne room. "How many of them know about any of this?" he asked. The demigod shifted uncomfortably. "None." "Exactly." "Really?" Will asked. "Not even Annabeth?" Percy shrugged. "Look, those bruises don't come from nowhere," Apollo said. "Whatever happened to you had to have been serious." "It was. It was messed up," Will interrupted, laughing darkly. Percy shot him a glare. They were supposed to be playing this down, not making it worse. ------ "What," Percy scoffed, "and I'm just supposed to trust you?" ++You don't have a choice. A magic talking book with all your secrets written out like a YA novel appears and starts ordering you around, and you're not going to listen to it?++ To that, he didn't have an answer. ++Kid, I am your god++ Percy deadpanned. "You're a book," he corrected. Annabeth gave him a look. "Don't patronize them," she whispered. ------ I took the reading the books trope and gave it a little fine wine with its dinner. Time to grow up, kid. Streching of canon. Warning: Crass language used, discussion of child abuse physical & sexual, mentions of drug use, mentions of underage drug use. Specific warnings at the beginning of each chapter Cover art is not mine. Neither is the Percy Jackson series. Elements (including Hell, Po, and Troy) are the work of goldenryo on ff.net, I have their permission to use them.Complete
