Summary
*This is the original. See my profile for the updated, rewritten version!*
The rules are simple: obey, and keep the secret. After 100 years of service, each siren is given a second chance at a human life. Marinette struggles with the things she's required to do, but she never rebels, never risks the consequences of disobedience. Not until she meets Adrien and makes the biggest mistake of all: falling in love.
Based on the 2009 version of Kiera Cass's "The Siren."

Summary
A life for a life, and I’ll be redeemed.
When 19-year-old Marinette's ship sinks en route to New York, the Ocean makes her an offer: serve as a siren for a hundred years in exchange for a second chance at humanity. Torn between survival and conscience, Marinette agrees and steps into a world of mythical allure and moral compromise.Through the decades that follow, Marinette walks a delicate line—quietly pursuing redemption while maintaining strict obedience to the Ocean, ever mindful of her promised return to humanity. But when she encounters a love as inevitable as it is impossible, her balance starts to waver.
As secrets surface and danger looms, Marinette faces an impossible choice: cling to the life she's fought for, or sacrifice everything for a love she can never truly claim.
Also check out Deeper Than Hope, Adrien's side of events.
Based on the 2009 version of Kiera Cass's "The Siren."

Summary
Only the ogs know what the title means.
The lack of Namor fics 🙁
The reader is meant to be from Mexico/south-central America/Caribbean. Heavily implied to be a non-white Hispanic.
Very stressed college reader (relatable)
I’m thinking of a Mako Mermaids situation, except they can control all 3 states and instead of only being able to hold their breath for a long time, they grow gills in that state making them suffocate on land, so they have to hold their breath will waiting for them to turn back.****This fic is currently being rewritten****

Summary
Ever since she was a little girl there was nothing more Sayuri wanted then to be a Marine just like her parents. To travel the world. To help and protect everyone she could.
Now that she’s older, she couldn’t think of anything less that she wanted to be. After discovering some horrifying information as a child, she wanted nothing to do with being a Marine.
To bad her father has her entire life planned out for her, he’s determined to make sure Sayuri becomes a Marine whether she likes it or not. Even if that means forcing her into an arranged marriage to someone she doesn’t love.
Sayuri refuses to accept her father’s plans for her, and plans on escaping. Everything should’ve gone to plan, if life didn’t decide to throw her a massive curve ball in the form of one Monkey D. Luffy.
Now this strange Straw hat wearing boy won’t leave her alone, no matter how hard she tries.
What happens when the moon and the sun collide?

Summary
There should have been twelve remaining and thirteen dead–each child should’ve claimed at least one kill.
One was all they needed to graduate, after all.
And yet standing in the center of the room was a lone child painted in red, twenty-four bodies scattered around him with a single kunai drenched to the hilt in his hand, scratches and cuts marring his arms and chest.
He was the only child to graduate that year and the only one to do it without a single mark on his back.
