    Summary

    Little orphan Harry was raised by the sea by his cruel aunt and uncle. His uncle is the mayor of the fishing town. He was told his whore of a mother got pregnant by an unknown man and that she drowned herself in the ocean out of shame shortly after his birth.

    Harry is kept away from the ocean by his aunt who seems terrified of the water, but she is actually aware that Harry is not fully human though she has kept it a secret from even her husband out of fear of being punished herself. However one day, Dudley and his friends chases Harry to the cliffs overlooking the ocean, and Piers pushes Harry into the ocean. Harry thought for sure he would drown, however under the waters he transforms into a mythical mermaid.

    Harry travels alone in the sea for a while, but he is found by Mer-King Grindelwald's patrol, Severus Snape and Bellatrix Lestrange. Severus recognizes Harry for who he is - the missing child of Lily Evans whom the Mer-King had killed to punish James Potter for daring to have a relationship with a human. What kind of life waits for Harry now?

    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

    For the first time in his life, Chuuya’s song had failed him.

    For the first time since being thrust into this loathsome eternity, someone had resisted him.

    And it was infuriating!

    Chuuya had killed many. He would have killed this one too. If not for the one simple fact that this boy, Dazai—as he liked to introduce himself—was different.

    He was deaf.

    Or,

    Osamu, an unfortunate slave making his way through a life of servitude without an ounce of humanity to speak of, has a most fateful encounter with an inhuman monster that may just be the most human creature he's ever met.

    Summary

    There was one being that lurked there that was feared above all else. They said he was more beast than Mer, ancient and unknowable. They said he was an eater of Mer, though none had ever shown proof. They said it was he who carved the trench himself, gouging it out with his serpentine tail that was said to be miles long. They also said that he knew magic, deep dark secrets from bloody beings long since passed to the Quiet Tides.

    Aemond One-Eye. The Sea Dragon. Luke’s intended mate.

    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.
