They are born of myth, legend, and lore.

Beautiful women beneath the waves, tempting sailors with playful smiles and beckoning gazed as the break the surface.

It is nearly every young sailors dream to encounter a mermaid, to see the beauties of the sea.

Maybe, just maybe, to catch one too.

That is...until their wish comes true.

They find themselves face to face with the strange enchanting girl smiling just above the surface with skin like moonlight and lips like rose petals.

Just one touch, is all it takes to seal a sailors fate.

Beneath the waves is not ethereal beauty.

But claws, and fangs, and blades of stone. 

Revealed in the sea is a mermaids true face and a sailors deadly fate.

And Zariel is the deadliest of them all.

Daughter of Poseidon and a deep sea mermaid she is dark, powerful, and beautiful by both mermaid standards and especially that of the humans.

There is nothing she enjoys more than a hunt, collecting different skulls of different types of humans.

Navy men, merchants, fishermen, pirates, and travelers alike. She has them all.

Her collection is as admirable as her ferociousness.

Only one type of mortal is missing.

One skull she has yet to collect.

A royal.

Royal bones for a royal mermaid.

Zariel, princess of the sea, doesn't want just any royal.

No. She wants a prince.

One who matches her in both ferocity and blood thirst.

Zariel was going to get the skull of Rowan Delacroix if it was the last thing she did.

Formerly first inline to the throne.

A prince turned pirate.

A hunter of mermaids.

His ship was one she would take pride in wreaking.

The Ballads of The Skeleton Crew by TroubadourVILever
31 parts Ongoing
The boy had never been scourged by dread, not really, untouched still of startling agony to become his reality. He spotted the imposing cliffside meaning to change that by mere accident, kept in defiant remembrance still of this heavenly music descended upon Earth from Heaven, magnificent, majestic and entrancing, this blue ship which had came last night to conjure mystery and great brilliance vibrating with splendor and glory born, like summer sunshine brought unto gloomy night, unlike anything ever heard of. He paused in thought to look at what was dangling from these rocketed walls, instilled immediately by mortal agony. What encountered him there was awful, horrific, spun from his nightmare to turn to atrocious truth. They left a message for him, these strangers, a message for all mankind. All the people from the town were nailed on the colossal rock with obsidian spikes the size of fists, hidden in the darkness as horror always lurked there within. Blood, everywhere. The spikes ripped skin open, tore their bodies apart to let it be a grotesque image, the self-portrait of Death itself. Stiff pale limbs, grossly tangled together, a myriad of heads decorating empty space. A few mutilated legs and arms lay motionless on the bottom of it, of the mere terror, the waves had yet to reach and clean the crime scene, crimson rocks and red sand carnation furthermore. The details swam and blurred his view. He was thankful, for a glimpse sufficed a lifetime. When the dark ship came, it didn't only warn the people of the Destruction following behind, they carried it themselves, bestowing it willingly and with intent, purpose, unknown and arbitrary as it may seem regardless. People rumored among their crowds that they were in fact the cause, the real Bringer of Death. The Harbingers of Cruelty. The Black Squad, Side of Doom. Known perhaps better by their most famous name, the Skeleton Crew. _ updated irregularly, because life is hard
Monster Beneath The Surface (Solangelo AU) by Doctor_Orders1932
28 parts Complete
Everyone in town knows about the sea monster. Every night, he goes into town to find his prey. He lures them in with his voice, only to bring them back to the ocean, to eat them. Few survive this, and the people who do, they lose their mind, like they were cursed. You can only gather from them that he was beautiful, his voice was like an angel's, and that when he took you into the ocean, he became a monster. He only hunted young men, women, teens, and the occasional twelve-year old. It was terrifying, because the people had no way to stop him. Every night, someone would go missing, or come back insane. They knew he lived in the ocean, and when people tried to bomb the area where they thought the monster lived, they would either be cursed, or just eaten by the sea monster himself. And the people who came back insane, they would always wander over the fact that the monster had not even a scratch on him. Teens, young men and women would fear for their lives, and lock themselves in their houses at night. But only one person refused to hide, either in bravery or utter stupidity. That person was Will Solace. So basically, this story is based on the cover art of the book. I just thought it was such a great idea and wanted to put it to story. I saw another person do this and they used the same cover art, and I hope you guys like my version! I, personally very much like it and hope you guys do to! (I don't own any of the characters or art work that appears in this fanfic. All of the characters belong to Rick Riordan.)
Sea of Tears by EvangelineNott
33 parts Ongoing Mature
A human girl/merman historical romance. (That ocean rizz) ◇Prequel to Sea of Dreams ◇ This is the tale of a girl who is swept away into the deep, straight into the arms of a terrifying merman. Can also be read as a stand-alone :) ●Preview● Larissa cried out in alarm along with the riotus pirates as the row boat flipped over into the dark choppy waves. Her voice was instantly cut short by the onslaught of salt water invading her lungs. Beneath the depths, she saw nothing but churning water rushing through her vision. Distant cries of terror and anguish from above the surface filled her ears. Murkey red waves began to swirl all around her, and suddenly, a flashing streak of white, and the glimmer of a silvery blue tail swooshed past her eyes in an effervescent blur. Adrenaline immediately crushed into her, enveloping her sanity. Her heart hammered erractically, and her limbs frantically moved on their own volition, propelling her upward for air. Breaking through the surface, she gasped anxiously for oxygen, while the invading shouts of the English men bombarded the air with the atmosphere of sheer panic. Paralyzing fear gripped her entire being as she looked up, the salt water trailing down her face from her wet hair. One by one, before her very eyes, each man still swimming within the beating waves was mercilessly yanked down into the depths, followed by a splash and glimmer of that same silvery tail whipping back and forth viciously within the churning waters, sending up foamy sprays of water and spurts of pirate blood in it's wake.
Sea Of Dreams  by EvangelineNott
9 parts Complete Mature
Historical romance about a human girl and a merman. BOOK SAMPLE, FULLY AVAILABLE ON KINDLE UNLIMITED FOR FREE! [Preview] A long arm snaked around her waist, pulling her through the current. Adrenaline hit her like a crushing force, and she saw whisps of white silk clouding around her vision. She began to struggle vehemently, still holding onto her sketchpad as tightly as possible. She raised the book above her head and beat it against the iron body, dragging her deeper. She felt her sketchpad suddenly get snatched out of her hand. The flash of white crossed in front of her and two eyes, dark as death, watched her so closely that she could see nothing else. Her chest throbbed with the desperate need to breathe, and she began to struggle again, thrashing her limbs as much as she possibly could to unleash herself from the creature's locked hold. Powerless, exhausted, and drowning, Victoria's eyes fought to remain open as she ceased fighting her fate and grew still. The pain in her chest seemed to pulsate throughout her entire body, and she felt the darkness coming on, but she ignored it as she remained listelessly suspended in the deep abyss. The black eyes remained fixated on her face as if she were the only thing that existed. Her eyes fluttered closed, but not before she saw the obsidion depths of the creature's eyes swirl and turn to a dark shade of sapphire blue.

I felt his body going away from mine, his heat disappearing, scent fading.. I heard footsteps and saw his figure coming in front of me.. His tall masculine figure walked to the chair in front of me. He took off his suit and placed on the chair. He turned to face me, sitting on it dominantly.. Like he owns the damn world.. He started rolling up his sleeves to his elbows, his eyes not leaving me. I froze in my place as he gazed at me intensely. I couldn't bring myself to look into his eyes but I felt his gaze on me.. Observing my every move.. Closely, Very closely..I am sure he could feel my raged heartbeat and my fast breathing.. And even the slight shaking of my fingers beside me. His gaze on me was suffocating and too intense to ignore..

This book is rated R. Please proceed with caution. This is the more raunchy version of the book. *** We stand in silence, as I sip my water, and he watches me do it. Finally, he breaks the silence. "I'm sorry if I... offended you by sleeping in your bed last night. This morning. Whatever." "It's fine. You didn't do anything." He nods, his eyes far away, as if thinking of how to word his views. "I didn't do anything... but I wanted to. I wanted to so badly." I nearly choke on my water. I don't know what's worse; his confession, or how nonchalantly he says it, as if he's reading the weather. "Come again?" I say, thinking that I must have heard him wrong. He shrugs. "I want to f*ck you." Again, he is as nonchalant as ever. I just stare stupidly, my mouth agape. He closes my mouth, grinning at me, wicked intentions in his eyes. Not so nonchalant anymore, I see. "Um, I-I...I don't..." I stop talking, realising what a total idiot I sound like, while his grin broadens. In that second, I am grateful for my dark skin, as he can't see me blushing. "Tongue-tied?" My cheeks get hotter. "Shut the f*ck up." He actually laughs. "Don't worry, honey," he says, his hot breath brushing against my face, shocking me. When did he get this close? "One day," he whispers, now in my ear,"I will f*ck you." I realise that my eyes are closed and I open them. He's gone. I stand there frozen, in total shock. What the actual f*ck just happened? *** When all you know is disappointment, you become your own best friend. You isolate yourself from everyone else. You need no one; love is a weakness. That's the case with me. Then, Prince Charming rides in and changes everything. Except, he isn't a prince. He is light, but he holds darkness; he is joy, but he knows pain; he is beauty, but within him is imperfection and ugliness. He is just like me, but he is nothing like me.

In Too Deep

11 parts Ongoing Mature

**Slow Updates** "Thank you human." She nods. I nod in return, not quite sure what to say. Still incredibly confused by the whole situation. She looks down at my sweats again. "That is where the human male appendage lies, am I correct?" She asks, head tilted, finger tapping her chin, eyes boring into my crotch. I choke on my saliva, taken aback by her complete lack of filter and the strange way she's looking at me. At...it. "I-uh...Yes." She nods in confirmation. "I have watched the human mating ritual once from behind a rock on the sea. It looked very fun. You appear to be a human male at his prime. I am in this form and am therefore compatible." She looks away from my dick and up into my eyes. "I am curious to know more. Let us mate, mortal." *** A Siren Queen in exile, Dhalia has traveled the seas in solitude. Suddenly, she finds herself thrown into the human world. Dylan was just walking the beach and lamenting life, like he does everyday as the sun sets. The last thing he expected was to find a gorgeous woman washed ashore. He finds himself quickly becoming enamored with the ethereal beauty, but there might be more darkness to Dhalia and her world than he could have ever imagined. Can Dylan handle sinfully sweet Dhalia, or is poor Dylan In Too Deep?
