An ambitious scientist won't let anything get in the way of her dreams--not even death. ⚓︎ When Malia set out to sea, she expected to make a life-changing discovery; instead, she received a life-ending doom. But death isn't her end, and she's granted another chance by the very ocean that she died in. That's according to Beatrice, a thousand-year-old water spirit that shows her the ways of their kind. After all, Malia isn't the first to be reborn, and countless souls lost at sea still live underwater, tasked with saving mortals from the same fate. It's a tough job, but if Malia does it right, she can win back her life on land. However, vengeful souls lurk in the waters, determined to destroy the mortals above them. These ghouls were the ones that killed Malia, but if she wants to return to the surface, she'll have to face them in a fight for her mortal life or eternal death. ⚓︎ SURVIVAL KIT ✓ Sapphic romance ✓ Magical "mermaids" ✓ Underwater adventures ✓ Science (specifically physics) FEATURED: ★ For AAPI Heritage Month and Pride Month ★ @FreeTheLGBT Pride Awards 2024 - Grand Winner ★ @Fantasy, @adventure ★ Former Amb profiles @talesofthedeep, @CitifiedFantasy, @ReshapeIt, @mythandlegend, @QuickFantasy, @YAFantasy, @The_Reading_Room ★ @AstaniaCommunity, @PrideReads ONC 2023 ENTRY Word Count: 33k Genres: Fantasy/Low Fantasy, Adventure, Romance Written: 05 FEB 2023 - 24 FEB 2023 Published: 09 FEB 2023 - 03 MAR 2023 ★ Cover and graphics made by the amazing @MoranaInDesign! ★ This story is only available on Wattpad by @laurendoubleu.

Sophie's life has never been easy but when a near death experience throws her into the arms of the love of her life- things become complicated. Dean opens Sophie's eyes to a world of the supernatural. Opens her eyes to pain, death and fear like none other. Although Sophie knows she's putting herself in danger, its an escape from her regular every day life. Their relationship is put the test between the human and supernatural elements in their lives which nearly ends it all, but when Sophie reaches her breaking point she decides on a drastic change. Her life as she knows it, must end. Her life as she knows it, is over. When the light at the end of the tunnel comes into view, Sophie leaves behind all she's ever known and loved, to follow Dean where he leads. With new strength Sophie manages to put her past behind her, but Dean's catches up to them leaving them with their heads barely above water. Is death really the end? [[Current WIP I would greatly appreciate feedback on, in all aspects. Please be aware of some darker and slightly mature themes for younger readers.]]

What lengths would you go to for love? Sophie Burgess arrives at the lakeside mansion of Fern Deane to work as literary assistant to Elizabeth St Clair. Her garrulous elderly employer rules the household with an iron fist, and Sophie is forced to overcome her fear of drowning when Elizabeth discovers she cannot swim. When Michael St Clair, the enigmatic heir to Fern Deane, draws her into his troubled and fascinating psyche, Sophie finds herself falling in love. But there are secrets hidden within Fern Deane's walls too dark to let out and too demanding to fulfil. When Sophie finds herself caught between reality and what really lies beneath, she must literally choose between life and death. Based around the water nymph mythology, Undine explores the depths of the human and elemental heart, its hopes and fears and just how far love can be tested. Come, if you dare, on a journey into the dark and terrible stuff of legends. Most of the artwork for this book is done by myself with permission of the photographers and models.

Sophie Blackthorn is at a loss. Her hopes for marriage are doomed, her future seems uncertain and murky, and the Goddess increasingly sends her visions and nightmares of demon invasions. Perhaps she should let go of the past, leave her family name behind, and live a simple mundane life? But she doesn't yet know that it won't be that easy to walk away.

Seven years. Short in Elvin time, perhaps, but it can change a life. Lives, even. Doubts and guilt, those inevitable feelings, drove Sophie away from the Lost Cities. Indeed, she has successfully sent the Neverseen to Exile, but the loss cannot simply be ignored. And the deceased's family needs someone to blame it on. So - her. Sophie. The person who did the unforgivable, no matter how good of a cause it was for. The outcast no one wants. The girl who has too many powers for her own good. The Moonlark that has nothing to fulfill.

A terrible storm brought to Lucia a strange little girl named Luka, guarded by a white light. She lost her parents and no one knows where she came from. Sad and scared she will need the Mermaid Princesses to save her from the new enemies and take her back home. (After Mermaid Melody Pich Pich Pich Pure)

[Complete] Sophie is a normal elf, with blue eyes and average abilities. She is a telepath and a polyglot, her two abilities the only special thing about her. Her biological parents are Grady and Edaline, and her sister is Jolie. The Neverseen and the Black Swan don't exist; all members are still alive, and their secret identities (such as Forkle, Granite, Umber, etc) don't exist. Tam and Linh were banished but made it back to the Lost Cities early, and Marella is not a pyrokinetic. (credit for the cover to @/l004p on tumblr!)

I won't survive. I'm sure of it. Strong wind ruffles through my clothes and hardly allows my eyes to remain open. I'm surprised that I'm still standing on the rock and haven't been tossed into the whirlwind. Huge waves crash down upon the rocks making deafening sounds. I open my eyes wide enough to see the next wave coming. As it comes towards the rock, it reaches the height of a three-storey building and seems to loom over me for some time, like a monster looking at its prey with hungry eyes, before finally crashing down towards me like a waterfall. While it comes down one single thought comes in my mind. This is how I die. Then the waters devour me. ___________________________________________ What's the worst crime you could ever commit?
