Summary
He wasn't ready to be a civilian again. The idea filled him with dread until his stomach turned, the vast wide open future of nothing. So he signed his name again, and again, and again, a different, more exciting kind of dread settling in his bones at what he was really agreeing to, and packed his bags.
Made a friend and got a flatmate on the same day, in the same person. Bought his boat a month later.
And met him.
Soap enjoys his new life, especially since he spends considerable time getting to know Ghost, a shark-human hybrid captured and kept for study who won't let anyone close enough to do that. Aside from Soap, that is.

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. Richard is pretty sure it's a hallucination at first; what else could it possibly be? But hallucinations don't usually save your life and bring you presents.

Summary
~PART 2: After the events of GOOD THINGS COME.
Astarion and Tav have solidified their roles in the Underdark with the other spawns, as well as in Faerun. As new threats surface with new secrets, Tav, Astarion, and Gale all realize there is still much more they can do to stop another Vampire lord, and help another of their companions in the process when they stumble onto a lead for information on Karlach's infernal engine heart.
A LOOK AHEAD: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.

Hellwater Queens by Northwindready

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
Sundrop Phoenix used to love swimming when he was a kid, but he ended up developing a fear of it after he was attacked by an aggressive young mer at the beach when he was ten years old.
Now, 16 years after the incident and after going through CBT and extensive exposure therapy, Sun's physicist signed him up for a temporary job as an assistant in marine biology to help him overcome his thalassophobia and it's there that he encounters the same mer that attacked him and caused him to develop thalassophobia to begin with!
And, if that wasn't bizarre enough, Sun is somehow able to communicate with the aggressive mer while everyone else can only hear hisses, trills, whistles, and clicks.
Furthermore, Sun cannot help but notice that his mother seems to be keeping a secret from him; a secret linked to his late father.

Summary
Simon Riley is a mershark who joined the military to escape an abusive home, only to be betrayed on a black op and sold into Manuel Roba’s underground fighting rings. Collared, muzzled, and weaponized as “Roba’s Ghost,” he’s forced through years of brutal conditioning, cage matches, and black‑bag jobs topside, fighting to keep some part of himself from breaking even as his body wears down. When Task Force 141 finally tracks the infamous “dog” in the ring and recognizes the lost soldier beneath the mask, Simon has to decide whether he can trust anyone enough to run again—or if it’s already too late to get out from under Roba’s leash.

Summary
Maomao is an alchemist. But all she really does is gather herbs, shells, and pearls to make and sell medicine to fishermen and sailors. Until one day, on the shore, she meets a beautiful youth with a face of a celestial nymph and a silver fish's tail.
They are bound by a mystery that is killing the sea.
The Silver Plague—a disease that devours sea creatures from within, leaving a residue on shells and tails that humans mistake for a valuable ingredient. Jinshi, the crown prince, swims to shore in search of an alchemist who can unravel its secret. Maomao, an apothecary and alchemist, agrees to help—partly out of curiosity, partly because she finds it strangely impossible to walk away from this merman. But the deeper they delve into the mystery, the clearer it becomes: the Silver Plague is no accident. It is a trace.
A trace of something that happened twenty years ago.
🧜♀️ AU where Jinshi is adorable merman <3

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.
