    Summary

    From the Scots word for ‘seal’, a selkie was a seal who could take on human form. A common element in all the selkie-folk tales, and perhaps the most important, is that in order to shapeshift, they had to cast off their sealskins. Within these magical skins lay the power to return to seal form, and therefore the sea. If this sealskin was lost, or stolen, the creature was doomed to remain in human form until it could be recovered. The most common theme in selkie folklore is one in which a cunning young man acquires, either by trickery or theft, a selkie’s sealskin. This prevents her from returning to the sea, leaving the selkie with no choice but to marry her captor.

    —🌊—

    In which Nick, a Scottish fisherman, develops an all-consuming crush on Ben Hope’s beautiful and mysterious new boyfriend, Charlie.

    Summary

    Nick Nelson is a lobsterman on his brother David’s boat. He spends all of his time on the water, or in bed with a new tourist every week. Then he meets Charlie Spring.

    OF NOTE: I had an idea for a new ending. The "Ambiguous Ending" tag was removed and the "Angst with a Happy Ending" tag was added.
