    TDAC - The Deep Abyss Conservatory Hidden beneath miles of pressure-black seawater lies an impossible structure: The Deep Abyss Conservatory, a living aquarium carved into the trench wall itself. It is neither fully a lab nor fully a sanctuary - it exists in that delicate space between research and reverence. Every chamber glows with pale blues and drifting bioluminescence, as if the ocean has simply decided to open its ribs and let humans walk inside. The Conservatory is home to siren-lineage beings, merfolk variants, deep leviathans, and other marine anomalies that were once scattered across the darkest corners of the world. Here, their ecosystems are preserved in massive pressure-sealed habitats, each tank more like a fragment of the abyss than an enclosure. Light filters through thick crystalline walls like slow-moving moonlight, illuminating creatures whose beauty borders on dangerous. Staff members-scientists, handlers, and abyss specialists-move carefully through the halls, trained to respect the instincts and emotions of beings who are ancient, territorial, or heartbreakingly curious about the surface world. Some of them watch you pass with cold predator eyes. Others follow with soft fascination. A few seem almost human in their longing for connection. You, however, are newly assigned. A fresh arrival to the Aquarium Division. A pair of steady hands among a place that requires absolute gentleness. Your role is simple in name, complicated in practice: Monitor, maintain, and communicate with abyssal entities, ensuring their health and stability... while ensuring the Conservatory itself remains intact. Because here, in the deep... a creature's emotions can shift the pressure of an entire wing. A single distressed siren can turn the glass walls into vibrating instruments. And a leviathan's displeasure? It can silence entire hallways.

    When Taylor-a quiet 22-year-old woman with nowhere left to go-finds a sprawling log cabin mansion nestled in the woods of a town called Pearl River, the price seems too good to be true. And it is. The house is alive. It shifts when it shouldn't. Doors move. Whispers echo. Rooms open and close like it's breathing. But the strangest part isn't the haunting. It's the residents. A naga coils in the garden. A dryder watches from the ceiling. A ghost flickers in the mirrors. A vampire drinks from the fridge. A werewolf growls at her door. And something stirs deep in the lake behind the house-a mermaid? A monster? Something more? Each one is drawn to Taylor, captivated by her softness, her scars, and the secrets even she doesn't know she carries. But something darker wants her too. And the house? It might love her most of all. One house. One year. One girl who doesn't believe she's special. But to them? She might be everything.

    In the world of the ultra-rich, Mauktika is the woman who delivers the impossible. ​Clad in fine silks and conch pearls, she is the elite's most sophisticated hunter, turning the ocean's myths into their private trophies. From red sea dragons to golden-shelled tortoises, if it belongs to legend, Mauktika can catch it, cage it, and sell it. ​But her empire of salt and status was built on a single, haunting memory: a girl on a Pondicherry beach and a creature with a tail that vanished into the surf. ​She has spent years scouring the deep for that ghost, but the ocean has finally stopped hiding. Her latest catch isn't a mindless beast to be auctioned off-it is a merman with an ancient voice and a terrifying intelligence. ​Now, the hunter must decide: Is he her greatest prize, or the one soul who knows exactly what she sacrificed to reach the surface?

    The first time Aurelia broke the surface, the sky was the color of a half-remembered dream-soft pinks and bruised golds. She had been warned about the air above the sea, about how it burned the lungs and tangled the heart, but no one had warned her about him - Elias. Aurelia traded saltwater for silence, fins for feet, and a kingdom for a modest house near the sea where the walls smelled faintly of cedar and old memories. Then one evening, the past came knocking. The woman at the door wore familiarity like a ghost-Elias's former wife, eyes full of regret and hope sharpened by desperation. She spoke of mistakes, of time apart, of starting over for the sake of their daughter. She did not stay to hear his answer. So he followed her.

    In a world where humans, witches, and sea-born creatures live side by side, Elias, a kind-hearted human who's always felt drawn to the ocean, never expected to find love beneath the waves. When he visits his merfolk friends to see their newborn clutch, he meets Kaelen - a proud, charming Tidebound guardian whose every glance feels like a current strong enough to pull Elias under. What starts as innocent visits soon becomes something far deeper: shared laughter, quiet moments between patrols, and a connection that neither land nor sea can ignore. But loving a merman comes with tides of its own - council blessings, teasing guards, jealous instincts, and an ocean full of gossip. Between playful baby sea-creatures, protective Tidebound rituals, and a love that defies two worlds, Elias must decide how much of himself he's willing to give to the sea... and how much of the sea Kaelen will give up for him. A slow-burn fantasy romance full of warmth, humor, and the kind of tenderness that can only bloom underwater. 🌊✨

    "It was a starry night. I blinked away the moist blur in my eyes and marveled at the beauty that stretched before me. A small country town away from the noise and hassle of my previous life, a new beginning. Is what I hoped for. But I was far from it, I realized." Chloe Campbell, a twenty one years old arts student, had a very rough childhood and if it weren't for her mother, she might have lost her will to live. She had supported her throughout her struggles, giving her the strength and motivation to move on. But her sudden death took everyone by surprise. Chloe in particular. It had shattered her. Left with the responsibility to care for her alcoholic father, nobody noticed that with each passing day she was drowning further into the darkness. Suffocated and helpless. Until her Aunt Diana decided to step in and take her under her wing. Now, Chloe lives with her Aunt at a country farmhouse, working her way towards the so-called fresh beginning. But what Chloe didn't expect was a fateful encounter with an ethereal being on her first day there. The flicker of melancholy in his eyes hinted towards a dark past and darker secrets. And Chloe felt an enigmatic attraction towards him. She wanted to know more about him, even if it meant getting entangled in a centuries old curse that he believes only she can break. This is a love story of two very different people and how they overcome various obstacles to have their happily ever after.

"Then it becomes more complicated. You have to prove yourself and prove her, make sure you're right for each other. In doing so, hopefully, you fall in love and learn how you fit." "Like a puzzle?" Keyvon nodded. "Just like that. You protect and care for her, she does the same for you, so that you complete each other." ---- Cover credit to Google images Mature content
