Summary
Once he finishes moving his mum into her new care home on the Essex seaside, Martin doesn't know what he's going to do with himself. Who is he, if not a caretaker? Just a guy with two jobs, one empty flat, and zero friends.
He doesn't expect to find meaning in the shallows of the North Sea.
He also doesn't expect to meet a mermaid, but hey. Life is nothing if not unpredictable.

Summary
God, it really is him. Fine, he'll admit it. He had some fleeting fantasies of meeting the boy who gave him the sea glass cradled around his necklace once again. The one who actually made him feel a little less lonely in the world. But this was a bit ridiculous. He spares a glance back at Jon to flash a reassuring smile, pretending like he's not gathering every detail about his face. Martin chides himself for not realizing earlier. Minus the grey in his hair and obvious signs of aging, Jon really hasn't changed much.
Except he got handsome.
His mind supplies and Martin suppresses a groan. Now was not the time to unearth the boyish crush he really thought died years ago.
AU where Martin is a selkie living in Bournemouth. Him and Jon met once as children and Jon gave Martin a rare piece of sea glass that he now wears as a necklace. Jon is a hydrologist and visits Bournemouth again for a research study and they meet all over again. Some canon-typical danger in a few chapters (will be tagged), but overall lots of fluff and pining in between <3 we are very slow to update but won't leave this fic unfinished!

Summary
He peers between the branches at the spiderweb, gently pushing some away to get a better view. He wonders what kind of spider it is, if he can catch a glimpse of it. There aren’t that many types in England, but--
Oh. He doesn’t spot the spider, but there’s something else trapped in the middle of the web. A large moth, its wings splayed helpless and immobile. As he watches, he sees its legs wriggle ineffectually in the air. It’s a surprisingly pitiful sight, making Martin’s heart unexpectedly wrench a bit for the poor thing.
-
Martin saves a moth from a spider. He doubts that this decision will have any sort of serious repurcussions.

Summary
Monsters have been taking people in Jon's town. Given Jon's reputation, nobody will believe him ... or do anything to help. Desperate to get answers, Jon risks his life to set out for Blackwood Castle - allegedly, the home of a witch.
All on his own, Martin lives out the rest of his days as a miserable monster, cursed by his mother long ago. There is a way to break the curse, but Martin knows it's not possible, not for a beast like him. One day, he meets an incredibly strange man - who breaks into the castle of a witch?

Summary
“So it happens gradually,” Jon says. “So you have to experience it happening?”
“Seems like it,” Martin agrees, still looking a little worried. “I wonder what sets it off.”
“Maybe it’s -” Jon sits up, surveying his legs, which are also growing fur across the insides of his thighs. They feel soft and plush when he presses them together. “Behavioral?”
“You mean, the more you act like a cat,” Martin says, wrinkling his nose as he processes, “the faster you turn into one?”
---
Rather than risk forcing statements from people, Jon tries on a collar touched by the Stranger that slowly transforms him into a cat.Series
