Lyra has always lived in two worlds. On land, she is the dutiful daughter, bound by the expectations of a powerful family and the rigid rules of high society. But in the ocean's embrace, she becomes something else entirely wild, free, and fearless beneath the waves.
Now, as she stands on the threshold of adulthood, Lyra must face the most important choice of all: to remain on land and build the life expected of her, or to surrender to the call of the sea and claim a future all her own.
Between Shore and Sea is a lyrical coming-of-age tale of freedom, identity, and the courage to choose your own path.

Alone With You (Remma)
"Every little thing seemed to bear a resemblance to the girl, whether it be the pool water which matched the blue of her eyes, or the painting of red roses in Emma's house which reminded her of Rikki's soft lips. She could now conclusively describe them as soft, as she had kissed them a few days ago." Along with hiding their mermaid powers from their parents and classmates, Rikki and Emma must also stow away their increasing desires for one another. There is no denying that they are in love, but who will admit it first? This is an H2O: Just Add Water fanfiction (RikkixEmma ship). I don't own any of these characters.Complete

When you are the daughter of Amphitrite, left at the doorstep of a High Priest, you learn to expect great things from yourself. But power comes at a price, and the price could be becoming a pawn in the hands of immortal beings. Which is never a good idea.

But then the Summon arrives. For centuries, the merfolk have worshipped Poseidon, offering sacrifices in exchange for tsunamis that devastate the human world they so despise. But it has been seven years, and the ocean has been unnervingly calm. The tsunamis are lost; their lord has gone silent. Summoned by the powerful and charismatic Vitus, ruler of Feridia, Annis finds herself amidst a crew of royalty that all seemingly hate each other. Their goal is clear: Find Poseidon and demand the long overdue storm. But with monsters, a fallen goddess and a potent romance waiting in the alluring king that evades her, what price must a mermaid pay for her share of glory?Complete
A Mermaid for the Lonely
A mermaid named Sirène, whose job as a mermaid is to guide those who have died at sea to rest their souls and not be trapped. She typically finds sailors whose ships have sunk, and pirates and convoys alike. Her personality is one of seriousness, and she does not express herself by facial expressions very often. She does sung lovely tunes though, ones of the sea and winds, not ones meant to lure anyone to their doom. She seldom spends time with other merfolk and prefers to be on her own. She is however very curious of the various emotions humans possess and their intensity, since she does not feel these. One day, while Sirène was staying near Pointe de Pen Hir, a dangerous cliffside that plunges right into the ocean. Looking upwards by chance, she saw a human, a man, standing dangerously near the edge of the rocks. The wind blew harshly and she could only watch and wait as he toppled over the edge and feel towards the ocean. She saw no fight in him as he fell. ________________________________________________________________ This is a fantasy story with my mermaid OC that I started making back when I was in middle school. I've used her character to help me through tough times and I am revisiting her. I want to make sure I have a place to remember her story, and make it a happier one than before.Complete
