Summary
A mysterious asteroid crash-lands on Earth in the waters around Coral Island. Semeru and Viv dig it out of an ocean trench and give it to Wakuu to investigate, but it's making a lot of the Coral Islanders act very strangely.
Semeru, Viv, Wakuu, and Theo must figure out what's going on and how to stop it. And Mark has to face the demons in his past.
There will be romance, spice, and not everybody gets a happy ending. But hey, did I mention the romance and the spice?

Theo and Wakuu, friends since high school and both volunteers in the local mountaineering search and rescue group, have always been two halves of one whole. Theirs was a steady, satisfying existence adjacent to one another. It's funny how everything can change in the blink of an eye.
Fate has a very different plan...can their friendship withstand the bombardment of shocking secrets, confounding revelations, and ruinous tragedy?
How can things be the same again when everything has changed?

Summary
**COMPLETE **
Amani is a chronic overachiever who’s spent her life checking off every box that society (and her family) said she should. She continues the cycle when she moves to Coral Island and completes every task asked of her in spite of the growing loneliness that she feels.Her checklist lifestyle is upended when she has her first encounter with the Merfolk Kingdom’s Captain of the Royal Guard while exploring the waters surrounding the island. As she gradually gets closer to him, something awakens in her that she doesn’t know how to tame, or if she even wants to.
It isn’t long before she’s thrust in the middle of a decade-long conflict, as a result, all while attempting to manage her body’s new needs and balance the weight of the hearts she’s attracted and the attention she’s garnered, for better or worse.
—————————————-
This started off as a simple one-off that grew into a 15-chapter deep dive into this game, its mechanics, and some of its characters. The story is complete, but I’ll be uploading a couple chapters every few days while I edit the later chapters.Series
