Speak of the Sea [Hankcon AU] (Sequel)
[Spoilers for book one "Beyond The Sea" ahead!] After fleeing the world they once knew, an enamoured cop and a bewildered merman have only got each other, and for one of them, this is completely out of their comfort zone. For now, they are safe, but the pair are completely disillusioned to what is happening back home. A conspired plan, potentially costing them their lives. They have two options; stick it out together, or surrender the other. Is their short-formed love strong enough? Or is it all just a fantasy? _______ This is the sequel to the first book, Beyond The Sea. For this book to make sense, do read that one first. I felt like these characters deserved an answer to their cliffhanger ending. Chapter titles will, again, be in Latin numbers, but this time will be named after songtitles from Big Country's album, The Seer.Complete

A New Tide Rising
[COMPLETED] After completing her task of going to ground to bring her sister back home, a mermaid - Amaya - is drawn back to the small island of Linda Cove to find a young woman with whom she had a brief encounter during her time there. She yearns to find out if the feelings she experienced for this human were real, or just a passing infatuation borne out of intrigue for an unfamiliar creature. ***** This is a companion story to What the Tide Brings, in which Amaya's sister - Kaelin - is rescued by a human boy and harbored by his unknowing family, but Kaelin has a secret that could bring danger to her newfound friend. I suggest reading What the Tide Brings first for continuity's sake, but this story can be read on its own. It's pretty much self contained, except for a few references to characters and events from What the Tide Brings. *****Complete
