    Summary

    The former self-proclaimed Battle Maniac of the Black Rabbit Brotherhood - Antonio Caruso - and his family have taken post as lighthouse keepers far from Malum and Krat.
    One summer, he joins a fishing trawler for some extra income. He doesn't expect much from the trip until a merman is found trapped in a net, and he learns of the fate it'll meet next time they dock.

    Summary

    ~
    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

    Soap had felt safe. The ocean had been his home.
    He was young, but he was skilled, was a quick learner.

    But humans wanted entertainment, and what humans wanted they took.
    He did not know how long he had been stuck, stuck with cruel beings that viewed him as nothing more than a shiny curiosity to gawk at. They knew ways to make him do what they wanted.
    He knew the rules now, knew not to vocalise, knew now not to bear his fangs.

    The marine biologist team around John Price and Kate Laswell want to help. They are a safe haven to heal, perhaps find a way back to the ocean, but first they have to gain his trust.

    And then, there is Ghost, who too has met humanity at it's worst.

    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

    The hurricane should have killed him.

    It tore him out of the reef and left him half-dead on a shore where human hands found him before the sea could take him back.

    The fighting pits should have killed him.

    Over twenty-five bouts, blood-clouded water, teeth and claws and crowds screaming for him as he became Legend.

    Legend thought rotting away in Yuga's glass cage would kill him.

    Behind glass, under lights, with a sealed lid above him and infection eating through him, Legend had started to understand that he might not survive being kept.

    That was before a stranger with green eyes and indigo hair walked into Yuga’s office, looked at him too closely, and came back to steal him away.

    But Legend is not salvage, and unfortunately for Ravio, Legend has no intention of being anyone's treasure.

    OR

    that one where Legend is a little reef bastard

    Summary

    He was supposed to do this. To make this work. He was the key to their weird benefactor's whole plan, somehow, the one who was supposed to steal the money and plant it in Thaddeus Bradley's shitty rental car and the one who was supposed to trick the FBI into thinking he was dead, the one who was supposed to unlock the gates to Central Park so the three actual, proven magicians could get in and meet the man behind the curtain, and he didn't. He failed.

    He died, and now he's rotting at the bottom of a river along with the rest of New York's trash.

    ...

    Jack Wilder drowns in the East River instead of burning up in a car wreck, and finds himself reborn as something new--and something a little less human.

    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.

    The water was getting murky.
    Not alarmingly so, but annoying enough that algae was blurring his reflection on the glass.
    Sun lingered there, frowning at the distortion.
    That wasn't right.

    What this betta fish didn't know, was that he would soon have a bigger problem to worry about.

    There's so many things that are different about these two. But they have two things in common.

    They both have huge misunderstandings about the other and they're both really gay.

    Summary

    He had heard talk of sea creatures from sailors and smugglers alike. Tall tales of false evolutions and fanciful fantasies conjured by desperate, frustrated minds in need of stimulation and copulation. Scientific fallacy, nothing worth remembering or regarding with any seriousness. Such an abomination could not exist. And yet, the old man could not deny the existence of the infant's thin, translucent fins, nor the pale glisten of flat, fish-like scales against newborn skin, gleaming under the pale moon.

    On an unassuming, dreary day, a train arrives in a remote costal town carring a young, downtrodden stranger seeking to become the new town Wickie. But with the past looming large, and a better tomorrow seemingly forever just out of reach, will his fresh start prove to be more challenging than he expected? Will the weight of the past hinder the path to the future he longs to create? And what else might the light of the lamp guide to the shore?

    Something I conjured up for Mermay 2026 after watching The Shape of Water and The Lighthouse back to back. Make of that what you will.
