    Summary

    Welcome to Freddy Fazbear's Mega Water World, the premier aquarium in the world! Enjoy our state-of-the-art rides and attractions, our dazzling animal performances, and prepare to be amazed by the stars of our show: live mers!

    You are a mer handler at the illustrious Mega Water World. Or, you were, until something happens to the mer in your care and FazCo buries it all under red tape. Driven by grief and guilt, you team up with a fellow handler to uncover and bring to light the company’s unethical practices surrounding the mysterious mers they keep on display. But what do you do when your search for the truth brings you face to face with two abandoned mers wasting away in the ruins of one of FazCo's old holding facilities? The mers are hurt and scared, but you are determined to make up for your past failure. You are going to take care of them, even if it kills you. And with two traumatized mers to contend with, it just might.

    Summary

    Many people mistakenly believe that unaging is the same as immortal.

    That our machines, our toys, our art will live on forever.

    But the truth is, such things cannot maintain themselves without our care

    and they will live for exactly as long as someone loves them.

    Summary

    You are not strong in the Sight. To you, the supernatural has become the background noise of a mundane and lonely life. You have no interest in becoming involved with ghosts.

    But they have every interest in you.

    When your eccentric great uncle offers you a job fixing the ‘jewel’ of his collection—the original Fazco Daycare Attendant—you expect a challenge, sure. This was undoubtedly going to be the biggest project of your life. You expect pain, mistakes, and late nights aplenty, and you expect an excruciating learning curve.

    You do not expect the other Daycare Attendants.

     

    *

     

    This is a story about love and memories, about secret things and ghosts.

     

    How can you know what to live for when the world you were built for is gone?

    Summary

    [FIC IS ON HIATUS AS OF 2ND FEBRUARY 2025]

    Life is cushy, working on a subterranean research facility on an underexplored ocean planet. As the resident handyman, most of your work takes place underwater - lucky for you, cave diving is your passion. With the building between bi-annual research teams, and the next lot yet to arrive, you find yourself with an excess of free time. All you have to do is fulfil your weekly duties, prepare the facility for the next team of researchers, and relax. Oh, and track down the net that went missing some time ago.

    And then you find it.
    In a submerged cave.
    Trapping a mermaid.

    You really wish this wasn't your responsibility.

    (Moon thinks he should have listened to Sun and stuck to hunting in warmer waters. Why does this bizarre two-tailed mermaid keep coming at him with sharp instruments?)

    Incredible. Marvelous. Scrumptious. Everything you need from a merfolk story. If you don't read it I am going to steal your teeth at 3am.

    Summary

    You knew, in your heart, that such a craving was unhealthy.

    Dependency was not a good thing. You should not let your heart rest on the uncertain emotions of people around you.

    This.. this infatuation was terribly unhealthy.

    But you could hardly help it. Not when they were so beautiful, when they were so jovial and mysterious and so magical to you.

    ---

    You are the Fool. They are the Jesters. You are the laughingstock and they are the ones who laugh.

    You crave and you crave and you crave. Everything you do, it is to dazzle them, to entrance them, to make them adore you as you adore them and as the crowds adore them.

    But you are a Fool.
