    Summary

    "HERMIT HARBOUR'S MERMIN: A RESEARCHER'S STUDY INTO THE CURIOUS CASE OF MOON GLOWING SEA CREATURES.

    Mermin, first of all, is extremely old, now obsolete terminology for creatures currently called merfolk (inclusive of mermaids and mermen).
    It is specifically used for the half fish, half human looking creature that uses their singing as bait.

    On this coast, the term has survived the years.

    It is, in fact, still used by the paranoid people of Hermit Harbour to refer to this specific myth of theirs.
    Although they never as much utter a word about the beings, it is the most notable myth in town.
    One of the many, sitting comfortably next to the ghostly spectres of The Choir, their walking trees and talking birds.

    On oneself's experience, here's my account of what this tale entails."

    The papers are signed off by Gem Stones, Scientist at the Facility of Research and Crafting.

    Summary

    Grian presumed his soul was actively leaving his body – providing him with just another last minute delusion to take him into the next life - until he heard music.

    His tired delusions were a lot of things, but they were never music.

    Grian blinked, once, twice, then a third time. Still, the shape on the horizon didn’t fade. The light didn’t fade. The music didn’t fade. This wasn’t the blurry shadow of what may or may not be a rock, or the light of the moon against a wave imitating a town. This was a genuine miracle. This was his relief.

    It was a ship!

    - or -

    After being cursed by a witch, Grian finds himself stuck in the form of a parrot with no way to change back, and only a conveniently handsome pirate captain to rely on until he reaches land.

    Summary

    jimmy liked his mornings quiet — the kind that smelled faintly of rain and flour, where the streets were still half-asleep and the world moved slow. what he didn’t like was running out of fresh rosemary.

    pyramid bakery, rival to the place he worked at, the bread bridge, was warm and golden, spilling light across polished wood floors. steam curled from pastries that looked unfairly good, and the air was thick with butter and sugar. it was the kind of place you could lose a whole morning in, if you let yourself.

    he came for rosemary. instead, he found the man behind it all — messy blond hair, cheeks flushed pink, arms dusted with flour, a smile slow enough to make leaving feel impossible.

    the rain tapped gently against the windows, a soft rhythm that matched the quiet pull in jimmy’s chest. rosemary might have been the reason he came. it wasn’t the reason he stayed.

    Summary

    Tango was just planning on getting some groceries. Just going shopping, nothing special. Nothing that could get him in the situation of spotting a villain and pausing to chase after them. Though, for some reason, that seemed to be the situation he found himself in.
