Summary
Caught on a case and tossed in the ocean, Richard Perkins should have died. He would have died if not for a curious and somewhat lonely-looking creature.

PART 2:
After the events of Good Things Come.Astarion and Tav have solidified their roles in the Underdark with the other Spawn, as well as in Faerun. They realize there is still much more they can do to stop another Vampire lord, and help another of their Companions in the process.
A snippet of things to come:
Except Tav beat Astarion there and reached him first, and a wet SMACK sounded as Astarion's chest collided with her shoulder blades where she stood solidly between them.
For a moment, Astarion only saw red.
For a moment, Astarion heard nothing but the roaring, rushing sounds in his adept ears - that of the rolling sea, and Tav's blood catapulting through her arteries with her own anger.
Astarion's eyes focused and traced her form and up her extended arm, his lip twitching with the beginning of a snarl at the action that had been denied him, but the scent of Gale's blood hit his nose then. The odor was strong despite the pervading smell of salt in the surf that lapped along the shore at their feet.

Summary
The sea gives. The sea takes.
When you are dragged beneath the waves by the furious prince of an underwater kingdom, you learn that the ocean has always known more about you than you do. As poisoned waters spread through the reefs and Bakugou demands your help to save his mother, old blood, older magic, and a dangerous kind of devotion begin to rise with the tide.

Summary
Marina has always belonged to the sea. Raised by its edge and shaped by its song, she whispered her secrets to the tide and believed, foolishly, that it listened. Now, as a marine cryptobiologist, she told herself it was curiosity, scientific instinct, the pull of the unknown that called her. But when a storm wrecks her vessel and pulls her under, she's rescued by something the world insists doesn't exist.

Summary
Adam Page is still earning his sea legs when, on one fateful night, his net pulls in much more than he bargained for - Matt, a siren, who Adam just so happens to understand. Though the siren was cut free and has surely been washed away with the ocean tide, Adam can’t help but feel that there’s something - something more than just some siren song pulling him towards the sea.
Matt has never met a human who could understand his voice. Once he’s free from Adam’s net, however, Matt feels the intangible pull to return back to the ship Adam calls home, even if it may cost him his freedom - or, maybe, his life.

Summary
Torn between two worlds, Adrien wasn’t able to explain his strange relationship with the sea.
His best friend was a shark, and his apprehension of sheep’s wool was peculiar. Excluding his father's will for vengeance against anything with scales, he was doing alright for himself.
However, he'd never felt more at world's end than when a girl, a phantom, really, whom he had dreamed of more times than he could count, boarded his ship without his permission and refused to speak her name.

Summary
It was quiet for less than thirty minutes before the sounds of the humans returned, this time an awkward scramble of many footsteps and nearly as many voices. They came into view only a moment later, and his eyes widened at the sight of the large blue tarp-thing hung between two poles being carried by more than a dozen humans, each straining under the obvious weight.
A massive caudal fin hung from one end of the tarp, but it had been so heavily wrapped in soaked towels to keep it from drying out that it was impossible to see in any real detail. It was also, Johnny noticed with sudden unease, completely, utterly limp.

Summary
Grace pressed his lips together and hummed curiously. “That’s a tank of blood?”
“Yes. We need your help studying what’s inside.”
“You mean the blood?” He frowned. “Are you sure you don’t have anyone better for this? Like, aren’t there doctors who spend their entire lives analyzing blood? Surely they’d be—”
He was cut off as a loud thud made him jump. For a brief second, an inhuman hand pressed against the glass. It had five long, thin fingers, with thin membranes stretching between each to make it webbed.
Grace gulped.
Something was in there.

Summary
Below the surface of the Hell Sea, life is ruled by tides, teeth, and the unspoken law of the pod.
Lucifer Morningstar is king over all the dark waters of Hell — but queens run the reefs. The Carmine pod guards their territory with quiet ferocity. The Hazbin pod is small, strange, and somehow still swimming. The Vees control currents no one else dares touch. And far above, in the cool bright waters of the Heaven Sea, Sera watches the depths with an unease she won't name.
This is not a story about war — not exactly. It's a story about calves and mates and rites of passage, about hunting in the dark and choosing who you feed. About what it means to protect something when the sharks are always circling.
Mer-may AU. Ensemble cast. The sea is alive, and so is everyone in it — for now.

Summary
Mer Jean fic about him being rescued from the Nest (officially called Edgar Allan's Raven Park), an aquatic animal amusement park shut down after an abuse investigation sparked by a public exposure by Neil and Kevin. All the Ravens (except the Moriyamas, who run the park) are mers. Jean was a wild capture from the Mediterranean when he was fourteen. Jeremy is an animal behaviorist tasked, along with everyone else at the USC Research ‘Trojan’ Aquarium, with rehabilitating Jean. Due to his trauma and injuries, including an amputated dorsal fin that affects his ability to turn in the water, and therefore hunt, he isn't a candidate for release to the wild, and due to the way the other Raven mers pick on him, he can't be housed with other Raven mers. These special conditions make him an ideal candidate for being the Trojan Aquarium's first and only mer. They also make him one hell of a challenge, but luckily for them both, Jeremy loves a challenge.

Summary
The creature screeched so shrill and loud, it made Phainon jolt.
Underneath a pile of struggling human bodies was a half-human, half-fish creature pressed to the cold, harsh cement floors. A tail of the most beautiful iridescent seafoam green, with long hair pooling by the sides of a lithe torso. Webbed claws dug into the cement, each limb held down by a colleague desperate to prevent the creature from making another attack.
