My Flower ( Yandere Male x Female Reader ) by FreeFlyer68

Y/n was just like any other adult. She had the job of her dreams and lived in a small house in the city. Every day she walked to work and she would walk past a flower shop that was on the corner. Inside was a man who loved flowers. When his eyes landed on you for the first time he got curious. When he started talking to you he got obsessed.

The Chosen by ScarlettCash01

Atlantis. A name whispered through time, wrapped in myth and coated in skepticism. A city said to have sunk beneath the waves, lost to Poseidon's wrath, or mankind's arrogance. A lie. At least... that's what they want you to believe. But what if it was never truly lost? What if Plato didn't get it wrong-what if he helped bury the truth? They taught us history. They taught us mythology. They told us the difference between fact and fiction. But they never told us that the world's greatest secret wasn't destroyed-it was hidden. By philosophers. By kings. By those who feared what Atlantis really was. Now, it stirs again. And she - the girl with blood that sings to the sea - may be the one who wakes it.

Voices in the wake by Piguboy

The sea doesn't forget. In 1966, a fishing trawler departs Samar Island for a routine harvest. But beneath the surface, something ancient has risen. Lights move in spirals. Voices echo back from the water. Alfie Gambon and his crew are watched. Mimicked. Called by name. Inspired by Southeast Asian maritime folklore and the Saltborn mythos, Voices in the Wake is a psychological eco-horror story told in tides, song, and silence. When the sea sings, don't answer.

Deep and Dark (Yandere! Pirate Captain x Mermaid! Reader) by KyriaMouLyn

(Y/n) has always been curious of humans, and when she finally gets to see one up close, things go very, very wrong...

The Last Song of the Lighthouse by xxxxxxx_p

When Mara thought the lighthouse would be a quiet escape for her art. Then she met Eira, a mysterious, captivating artist who stirs something she's never felt before. Drawn together by music, laughter, and stolen moments, their connection grows deeper with every passing day. But love has a way of testing even the strongest hearts.

Cold water by habeba5015

"I am the sea when love storms within me, and the drowning soul who, upon seeing a lifeline, lets it drift away- preferring to drown in your eyes."

A Soft Surrender by reenafantasies

Give in to desire. These short stories keep things real. Each one captures moments where lust, need, and emotion collide. The characters feel deeply. They act on impulse-sometimes with joy, sometimes with regret. These aren't fantasies. They're truths we often don't say out loud. If you like stories that feel close to life-raw, honest, and full of heat-you'll find them here.
