   Summary

   There is not much these days that would surprise Ryland Grace, an expert on oceanic biology and one of the world's leading figures in marine genetics. Or so he thought, until his entire world is shaken by the biggest marine discovery in the past century; Merfolk are real. Or, to be precise, at least one of them is. Grace is looking right at him.

   In all his life, Grace has never seen something, no, someone so breathtaking. He doubts he ever will again. Suddenly, he finds himself indescribably protective of this creature, this man, captive in front of him. The world is not ready to witness someone like him—nor could it ever deserve to.

   Or about how Simon is a blood nymph and Grace is a little monster-loving freak first, and a scientist second.

   Summary

   It had been three days since he’d spotted the mermaid in the biodome ocean. Grace’s been walking alone on the beach (Rocky was spending time with Adrian) when he’d seen a massive red tail splash out of the water, subsequently distracting him and causing him to trip over his own shoelaces

   Or mermaid Simon in the biodome

   Summary

   this is the first day of my life
   swear i was born right in the doorway
   i went out in the rain, suddenly everything changed
   they're spreading blankets on the beach

   first day of my life by bright eyes

   ˚　. ✦　　　.　　. ♪ . ★⋆. ✦　˚ 　♫　　 ˚　.˚　　✦　　　.　 ˚ .˖✶ ✦

   excerpt:

    

   The man looks up, pitiful and desperate to believe the words. “What do you want from me?”

    

   Grace just looks at the man. He doesn't know. He wasn't expecting another human, he wasn't expecting to have to meet one or take care of one for that matter. He wants for nothing. Grace has done his job; he's saved the stars. He has his very own biodome specially crafted to his tastes. They have a growing garden of genetically engineered foods. His best friends visit him every day. He has a class of pebbles to teach 5 days a week. He's happy and content and what could he possibly want for this man?

   What did Grace want? At his core, at his being? What did he want and long for that was stripped away from him? What did this stranger just remind him of?

    

   “I just… I want you to live.”
