Summary
Quote : “Magic, indeed, is all around us, in stones, flowers, stars, the dawn wind and the sunset cloud; all we need is the ability to see and understand.”
— Doreen Valiente
Piers is a person who believes in logic and facts. He doesn't believe magic is real, no less mythical creatures like dragons, mermaids, griffins or even selkies.
But that all changed when he came across two strangers, who have unnaturally beautiful faces, who somehow can seduce and control people around them without much effort. And for some reason like to carry a big coat with them?
When a young star singer, Piers, comes across two beautiful strangers, whose beauty captivated his eyes, he can't help but feel this pull towards him. However, there is something strange about the two of them that he can't put a finger on. However, that all changes when he catches the two men changing into seals at night.
Is magic and selkies really real ?

Summary
The old legends about humans taking selkies captive by stealing their skins was accurate- they couldn’t return to the sea without their pelts. That made it good news that Hizashi had his pelt back, he wasn’t being held captive accidentally or otherwise.
The bad news was that selkies traditionally exchanged pelts as a marriage tradition. They gave them back, of course, or they’d both be trapped above the water, but what was important was touching each other and the pelts at the same time. It was old magic and Hizashi wasn’t exactly sure how it worked, but it joined the two together for life in a far more concrete way than simple human marriage certificates ever could.
“Hizashi?” Concern colored Nemuri’s voice as she peered at him over her glasses (their eyesight was one of the last things to adjust to being fully on land- they were both wearing cheap drug store reading glasses). “What happened? He didn’t-”
Hizashi nodded, cutting her question off. He very much had.
“Shit.” Nem breathed out, eyes wide. “You might be fucked.” A wild voice deep in Hizashi’s subconscious almost had him responding that that was the best case scenario.

The poisoned waters of Zaun are no place for a selkie to swim free.
Silco does everything he can to keep his wild child safe. But as Jinx’s true nature begins to surface, so does the brutal truth of a city where vigilance must never waver. In Zaun, even a moment's carelessness can cost everything.
When one man lays hands on what should never be touched, Silco is forced to confront just how vulnerable Jinx truly is. Her seal-skin is more than a risk—it’s a target.
Now, with no choice but to act, Silco must decide how far he’s willing to go to protect her. -

Summary
Dazai is only seven when he is taken from his home and has his pelt stolen. With Mori, the boss of the Port Mafia, holding his pelt there is little he can do but obey orders and wait for the chance to steal it back. Except, even if he does get his pelt back and escape to join the ADA, whose to say that an old partner might accidently get their hands on it. After all, why would Dazai tell an enemy just what he's holding, and that he doesn't enjoy the game of keep away? And there's no way someone would just give it back. Right?

Selkie!Thomas Lawrence AU <3
***
Vatican City is landlocked.
Of course, Vatican City is not far from the coast, by any means, but the point still remained that no matter which way he turned, there was not an ocean in sight ... the abstract concept of something in the distance often does nothing to satisfy the need for it.
(Perhaps that was his problem with God.)
And of course, needing and longing and yearning were all feelings that he tried to stamp out. His needs were not at all important when he stood in the shadow of the cross; his life was meant to be in service of others, constant and unwavering.
That was why he had given up his ticket back home to that memory, that feeling of freedom in the sea– his seal’s pelt– many years ago. Thomas Lawrence was a selkie who had not inhabited his seal form in nearly four decades. -

Summary
The first time they met was when Matthew decided to fish in a slightly different spot. Gilbert had immediately hid behind a rock, wary. Matthew had heard enough stories to know how reasonable it was to be scared.
The second time they met was when Gilbert decided that it was safe to go out and talk to the birds. Obviously, his instincts needed sharpening because a human came rowing in. But instead of running away again, he watched, hoping curiosity wouldn't kill the cat this time.
OR
Matthew intrigues Gilbert, the mythological beast, and chaos ensues because they don't speak the same language. Mentions of Canada's history and Inuit culture/mythology, because I'm a nerd who needs an excuse to research things. May not be super accurate though.
