Five Nights at Freddy's

Celestial Omens (that really like Fishsticks)

by BamSara

When you are ten years old, you find two creatures, bloodied and injured, trapped a net on the beach near your home. You save them, make friends with them, and return them to the sea, leaving you to wonder later if your friends with the Sun colored scales and fins that shone like the full Moon were real or imagined up by a childhood of loneliess.Time passes. You hear stories of monsters, Sirens in the water, one that is a good omen if spotted, promising your safe voyage as long as you respect the rules of the ocean, and one that sinks ships and eats people for fun. Just folktales meant to scare children.A decade later, they return the favor, though they don't plan on leaving you so easily this time.

Everything's Prettier Underwater

by Lazy_Little_Starfish

Kim Seungmin was a bright and handsome young man. He worked as a marine biologist for a big company in his coastal city, and he loved the freedom that his job gave him, being able to take his small motorboat out to sea every day to do research on the field. Never would he have thought that his biggest discovery would come in the form of 7 handsome merboys (is that a thing now?) that seem to follow him everywhere he goes. And is accidental courting even something that could happen? Life was going to be way harder, but oh so much more exciting from now on! OR Marine biologist Kim Seungmin helps out one injured merman and ends up with 7 of them trailing behind him like baby ducklings.

The Art of Drowning

by seyalore

Denki knows full well that there’s never really been a question needed as to whether the mer exist. They ‘exist’ to humanity these days in the same way the true fae and titans do: in fossils and relics, and stories from an age when magic held the world carefully in its palms and instilled new wonders with every gentle whisper. It’s not like magic is gone— far from it. But the creatures that breathed magic, bled it, held together by miracles and timelessness and enigma… well, they’re another story. Which is why he’s having a hard time comprehending the visual feed from his sea rover. (Or: Kaminari Denki saves a siren and ends up in over his head.)

Walls and Water

by SilverWing15

And then a shape moves through it. Something big and dark, something terrifying.Its got a tail, like Tommy, and fins, and hands with webbing between them, and long hair trailing down its back, and blue eyes. Blue eyes staring right at him.It opens its mouth and the low rumbling call comes from it.Tommy stares, terrified, horrified, fascinated.It looks like him.But its so big.Impossibly big. His entire body isn’t even as long as its tail.The monster swims towards him, calling again. It resonates through Tommy’s bones and it feels so safe, but it isn’t. It can’t be. Its a monster.

When the Tides Held the Moon

by Mudblood428 (VKelleyArt)

Simon Snow needs a job, though most would argue he needs a friend. When he finally lands work as a day labourer at Mage’s Traveling Carnival of Curiosities, he's suddenly got the pick of the rarest company in Blackpool, including a bearded lady, a pretty contortionist, The Tattooed Australian, and a slightly unhinged fire-breather. With friends like these, sideshow life would be interesting enough, but everything changes after he comes face-to-face with the mysterious and beautiful occupant in the last tent."In a counterfeit world, he’s the only thing that’s real."

The Sea Jesters are Real Science

by MatosaurusRex, sixty_nine13

You stare into the glass. At first you see nothing, just a greenish-blue landscape, peaceful and ordinary. There is nothing special about it... Or so you think. As the seconds pass, two figures become more and more visible, slowly growing from two distant dots to two large figures, easily two metres tall. The two creatures stare at you, and you raise your hand, slapping it against the cold glass that holds the creatures trapped. These two beings, which until now had been considered to be legends, raise their hands to clasp yours as well. The most wonderful living beings in the world stand before you, separated by thick glass, suffering every day at the hands of greedy people.  How long will they resist this?  ((This fic was inspired by Tumblr shenanigans and merMAY! Thank you all for inspiring us to create this <3))

Warmth of the Abyss

by Mavia_Anon

"How old are you, Theseus?" Techno asks. "Sixteen," Tommy grumbles. "And stop calling me that. My name is Tommy." "Mer pups are considered children until they are eighty, Tommy. You are practically a newborn right now. So yes. You're weak and you're vulnerable, but I promise you, on my life, I will protect you and care for you." OR: Tommy gets turned into a mermaid as a second chance after drowning in the sea, and Techno is looking for redemption.
