    Summary

    When Martin Blackwood takes a job working at Peter Lukas's estate, in the highlands of Scotland, he meets an odd man down by the shore, who looks at him like no one ever has. This man proves to be another secret Martin Blackwood must keep, for more reasons than one.

    To be so sure of a love the world denies is a heavy burden to bear. But bearing it was, and will always be, a choice. And it's one that Martin has chosen.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is a merperson who has always lived below the waves. One day, however, he steals away and ventures to the surface in search of someone he lost. On newfound legs, his search takes him to The Magnus Institute — the foremost academic institution researching crypto-zoology and crypto-marine biology, headed by the enigmatic Elias Bouchard. With his new position as Head Archivist, Jon is in the perfect place to continue his search. Hiding his secret identity as merfolk should no problem, either.

    After all, it's not like he wants to be friends, much less more-than-friends with the humans.

    And surely none of them are hiding secrets of their own.

    Right?

    ...

    In other words: It's a selkie and merfolk AU! Jon is merfolk, and goes to the surface in search of a long-lost friend. He takes a job at the Magnus Institute as part of his search, and soon finds himself embroiled in all kinds of drama — including, but not limited to, falling in love.

    Complete!

    Summary

    “I am not looking for a relationship, neither romantic nor sexual. I just want to meet interesting people and have interesting conversations, because all my friends are busy and I’m bored.”

    “Just your average late-20s gay guy looking to expand his dating pool. I’m not looking for anything serious, but I’m not opposed to it either if we hit it off :)”

    Summary

    For a man who has no compunctions about throwing himself into mortal danger at the drop of a hat, Jon is an absolute coward when it comes to anything remotely resembling romance, to a degree that is so far past frustrating it wraps all the way back around to funny.
