    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

    Jon doesn’t do roller coasters.

    It’s not because Jon doesn’t like roller coasters. It’s probably more accurate to say that roller coasters don’t like him. Specifically, his sense of equilibrium and his digestive system.

    The fact that he is currently standing in the queue for a particularly large and particularly frightening-looking roller coaster is not, therefore, due to his overwhelming love for them. It is instead entirely due to his overwhelming love for the man standing next to him, eyes bright and excited.

    Summary

    While it may be begrudgingly, Ashlyn really has come to see them as her friends. The thought surprises her, but it isn't unwelcome. And maybe, her relationship with one of them might be a little deeper than she thought.

    Even if he is their resident psycho.

    ______________________

     

    Or: Some sbgy fluff with a bit of angst sprinkled in. Oh, and Ashlyn/Aiden of course.

    Or or: Author thought there wasn't nearly enough of these types of fics so she decided to write one herself.

    Summary

    “Why’re you always smiling?”

    After an awkward five seconds of silence, Aiden’s smile grew, showing all his pearly whites and some of his gums.

    “Because it’s all so amusing, isn’t it?”

    Everyone went back to what they were doing. He’s psycho, there’s nothing else to it.

     

    or

     

    five times someone asks about Aiden's smile

    and the one time he answers
