Summary
Keigo is careful as he swims through the mer city, aware that the residents hate and fear him. As a siren, he's seen as bad luck, at least until the day he finds his soulmate. But with so few sirens left, Keigo doubts that day will ever come. He hasn't fully given up, but he's not looking for love. Most of the time he just wants to be left alone.
The only reason he's ventured into mer territory is because his mentor asked him to come. The sea witch taught him everything he knows about magic, and she's the only person who actually cares about Keigo anymore. So when she tells him she's had a vision of him finding his happiness, he believes her, even though he's not sure how it will happen.
The answer comes quickly, when Keigo rescues Enji Todoroki, a human Duke who was betrayed and thrown into the sea. Finally free of his responsibilities, Enji can do anything he wants. And what he wants is to stay with Keigo.

Summary
"As white as frost, she wore a shawl. Knitted timely and precisely."
Veronica Ward is an outcast inside her own house, Slytherin. What she lacks in title, wealth, or fame is replaced by her moral obligation to secrecy. She is the last of her kind and must hide her family secrets and their connection to mermaids in a world that does not accept half-breeds. A shawl she wears around her shoulders keeps her scales and tail hidden, yet new secrets arise among the new term at Hogwarts. A murderer on the loose, new friendships that make her question herself, and the constant strain of her mermaid powers growing stronger—
Questions about her mother’s past become unearthed in the chaos of school life, and she must face the relentless crashing of waves from the past and her ever-growing reality. She must choose to be a Slytherin, a mermaid, a half-breed, or drown in the constant reminder that she will never be human.

Summary
***Formally "The Call of Ktulu and the Song of Storge"***
Storge (στοργή): Natural, familial love; the deep instinctual love between family members
Hawkins used to be a sleepy town on the Central Coast of California until Will Byers went missing. Every year since, something strange and violent has crept in from the shadows.
Eddie Munson thought he knew how his final senior year would go, but everything changed when a class project with Chrissy Cunningham sets off a chain of events that lands him face-first in the middle of Hawkins' supernatural war. And then there’s Steve, a merman bound to the sea by a force only a true love’s kiss can break. He never meant to get involved with a bunch of land-walking kids, let alone become their protector in a fight he doesn’t fully understand.
When a storm crashes their worlds together, Eddie and Steve find themselves on opposite sides of the shore but fighting for the same thing: the people they love.
TL;DR: A S4 retelling with found family, grief, merman lore, themes of identity, platonic true love, and Steve Harrington absolutely not coping with being a merman
(Chapters 1-4 edited, but all chapters are posted. I am just cleaning up the flow)

Summary
Any work at sea was dangerous because of the merfolk and you had learned early to be wary, to watch the water and the fish and to react fast the second something felt even a smidgeon off to you. You had no desire to get attacked again, to add to the scars you already carried on your body.
Mers were monsters in your opinion and the less you had to do with them the better - right up until the day you met one of the most dangerous mers of your life. A siren with eyes bluer than the sky and sea combined and hair the color of shimmering frost. Where others saw a divinely beautiful creature all you saw was death smiling back at you.

Summary
Water. Cold, heavy, dark. A burning, in his throat and lungs. A song echoes below Kaveh, akin to the mournful call of a whale. The singer's voice is eerily familiar. Scales brush against his skin, the song pausing long enough for a single phrase, whispered in Sumerian:
"How has realizing your ideals gone for you?"
<><><>
Kaveh's unlikely friendship (and subsequent fight) with Alhaitham, a mer from the deep sea, leads to what might be the ocean's worst roommate situation after Alhaitham saves the architect from drowning. Kaveh, now stuck in an unfamiliar body and location, has to deal with the fact that he might not be able to return to his life on land.
