Summary
As a child, you would frequently meet up with a secret friend. You didn't know where Moon came from or where he went to when he wasn't with you, but it didn't stop you from befriending him. He was a brightness in your sleepy little life.
As an adult, it's been a long time since you've seen your friend. You wander by the beach and regularly check your secret meet-up spots to no sign of him. Each day feels longer as you wait and wait and wait. You begin to think that you'll never see him again...until he show's up out of the blue and he's not alone.
Now, you struggle to hide your feelings for Moon from him and his new mates as you life grows more complicated. Weird things keep happening around you, and strangers have arrived in town with plans to change everything.

Summary
A Subnautica AU of Welcome Home
Y/N has just crash landed onto an alien planet and has just barely managed to survive after escaping their ship. Thankfully, they landed in the safe shallows, where a friendly face greets them. Can Y/N trust this charming fish, or will they continue to refuse to leave their pod until it's too late.
This story will follow the rough storyline of Subnautica, the main plot still following the virus and the planet being on Lockdown. However, there will the unique characters added. Some of the events that take place in the original game will not take place in this AU, however other plots will replace them, as you will see :)

Summary
Mydeimos makes a small noise, a mix between a trill and a growl. Impatient bastard. He doesn’t dare show his face for a week straight, but the moment his meal time is delayed ever so slightly he races over in an instant. Alright, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration. The situation is a little annoying though, a fact he comes to realise as his shock slowly subsides. Phainon adjusts his grip on the bucket, shifting to the handle as he makes to toss the fish like usual. The merman repeats that strange little noise.
“It’s okay, I’m getting it now,” Phainon states, not quite understanding the source of the merman’s disapproval, “Just give me a second.”
He is not, in fact, given a second.
— — —
After the previous caretaker resigns, marine biologist Phainon is tasked with caring for Amphoreus Aquarium’s merfolk exhibit. The merfolk in question, Mydei and Tribbie, are less than cooperative. But as their time together grows, so too do their bonds.

Tav is a human Paladin, with an Oath of Devotion that has guided her and her companions through the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, saving as many beings as possible and protecting the weak and defenseless, as is her tenet. But she also has a secret that she has yet to tell anyone… That it’s time to tell Astarion …
But there is so much more to it than either of them know.
All things considered, even she doesn’t know how things will end for the two of them.Series

Summary
fathomless / ˈfaT͟Həmləs / adjective – unable to be measure or understood, extremely deep
Wally never expected to come back to Happy Harbor. Not after his near drowning in the sea caves by his childhood home — which inevitably led to his parents’ divorce. But here he was twelve years later, fresh out of grad -school and moving back into his late father’s old house.
A summer spent in the sleepy town he grew up in on the Rhode Island coast should have been idyllic. A quiet three months working in his uncle’s aquarium as he figured out what the hell he wanted to do with his life. But, it turns out, finding a siren tangled in a fishing net at the bottom of the bay would only be the beginning of his troubles.
What happened to the poor Nereid who now haunted Wally’s thoughts? Why couldn’t he shake the feeling that their fates were more tangled than the net he’d cut away from its beautiful tail? And who was the so-called expert called in by the counties Game-Warden to investigate the new predator making waves in the Rhode Island Sound?
The further Wally dug, the deeper the mystery took him — and someone had swim to the bottom of it.
Good thing Wally has his diving license.

But the moment he knelt, the figure opened its eyes, all wide and shiny, and said, “Oh. Hi.”
The shriek Gen let out was embarrassing.

Summary
Mackenzie knows better than to interact with any magical creature, cute or not. So, when she encounters a mer child, she carefully leaves him where she found him, and leaves.
Said child found her again. Or, to be clear, Eclipse finds her. He doesn't know this child, and he doesn't know this woman, but he has a Plan. He will support her in taking care of her child (why is she adamant on telling him that the yellow snail is /not her child? they are clearly related) and prove to her that he would be a good mate.
What do you mean she doesn't know that seashells are exchanged to show that?
