It was a tale as old as time within the small town of Serenity Falls. To some the myths told of people that inhabited the seas— mermaids to most— that helped create Serenity Falls. To others, however, the myths speak of horrible beasts that crawled out from the very depths of hell; with a call that only the dead would be able to resist.
Many have heard the tales— and many have rolled their eyes at them— but when a stranger washes up on the shore of the small town with a much bigger history? Maybe those legends were filled with kernels of truth after all.
Unfortunately you wouldn’t be able to help; as you don’t remember how you even got to Serenity Falls in the first place. All you have are the flashes of memories when you dream, the faint pang in your heart every time you look out into the bay, and the faint echo of your name being whispered in the wind.
It seems that the small town of Serenity Falls has just as much to give you as you do to it.

August/Audrey Hale, 28 (M/F)
-The Golden Child-
The oldest child of Serenity Falls mayor; A has always made it their duty to make sure that everyone within the small coastal town was all right. A dazzling smile and a warm gaze causes many hearts to swoon but not many have been able to capture their heart. Will you be able to do so? After all they were the one to find you and you’ll definitely be seeing a lot more of them. As they want to make sure that you’re all right and acclimate well enough to everything that Serenity Falls has to offer.
“I haven’t felt this way since my first love broke my heart. I-I don’t know what I would if I lost you too. I just know that my world would become that much dimmer because of it.”
Sychar/Syrena Ashford, 29 (M/F)
-The Protector-
You don’t remember them but they certainly remember you. Silver eyes softening only for you as their attention solely stays wherever you seem to be. They say they’re your best friend, and something within your heart tells you it’s true, but you can’t shake the feeling that something’s being kept from you. You get the feeling that they’d do absolutely anything for you but you don’t remember why.
“I have stayed by your side for you entire life— through your ridiculous adventures— and I know that I’ll stay by your side for the rest of it. I’d do anything to protect you, your highness. Not just because you’re my best friend. You’ve always been so much more.”
Ross/Rose Laurier, 28 (M/F)
-The “Bad” Seed-
Whispered words is all you hear about them at first; that they were no good, that they ran with the wrong crowd. Upon meeting them? You couldn’t quite connect the soulful hazel eyes, standing on the other side of the diners counter, with the person those words have been connected to. Much more seems to hide underneath the steely facade that they put up. Maybe you’ll be the one to slip behind that wall and find the person hidden beneath.
“I still don’t know why you care so much. No one ever sticks around for long so I don’t expect you to either. I just hope you know that I’m glad you’ve stuck around. I’ve never truly had a friend like you. Now don’t tell anyone I’m getting this mushy on you or I might have to kick your ass, okay?”
Caspian/Cassidy Vega, 27 (M/F)
-The Scientist-
A person with as much passion for the sea, and the life living within it, as you’ve ever seen. For all the knowledge that spews from their mouth they seemingly grow bashful to every other form of conversation, but they’re endlessly fascinated by you. By the possibility that the old fables their parents told them at night could possibly be true. Maybe you’ll discover more about them as they help you discover more about yourself.
“The sea has always called to me. Rolling tides, whistling winds, pristine blues, have always been heaven on earth to me. I’ve never known exactly why I’ve always loved the sea but maybe it was to get me prepared for you? Maybe I love the sea so much because I was always supposed to love you.”
Lucian/Lucia Prince, 32 (M/F)
-The Enigma-
You aren’t the only new resident to Serenity Falls. You’ve only been able to catch glimpses of the elusive individual but their ice blue eyes, peering over darkened shades, seem to enrapture you; while also reminding you of a vague memory that has entered your dreams more than once. You don’t know why you feel like you already know this person but you’re definitely intrigued by them; their cool smile, collected demeanor, and flirty words included.
“Cat got your tongue, sweet thing? I hope you won’t be silent all night. It’ll get quite boring hearing me yammer on, don’t you think? Hmm.. no matter, I suppose there’s always other activities we could divulge in, don’t you agree?”
Hello! I’m doing good— better than I have in a while. I’ve finally started writing again after a long break, with the help of my two dear friends, and I’m super excited with how things are turning out for both Siren and RTNNL!

You’ve never known anything besides the crystal water surrounding you. Have never felt the sun on your face for hours at a time without being half submerged beneath the waves.

The world connected to your own felt like it would forever be out of reach; a simple dream that would never become an actuality.

Edward/Elizabeth Bolton [M/F] - The Heir
28 [6’3” | Crystalline Blue Eyes | Raven Black Hair]
One of the most eligible individuals within the season. An individual that has never paid anyone— besides polite conversation— any attention. That is, of course, until they spot you from across the room. The smile that lit up their face could illuminate the entire room; you might just be the thing they’ve always been looking for you. As they might be the thing you’ve been searching for too.
“I couldn’t believe my eyes when I first saw you, darling.” The words are said softly; barely a breath of air between you both. “I know how that must sound but from the first moment I saw you I knew. I knew you were it for me. My eyes adored you from then on but my soul and heart are the ones that have fallen in love with you.”
Richard/Regina Axton [M/F] - The Soldier
31 [5’9” | Light Green Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
A highly decorated officer within the Royal Navy; they don’t often come to court but this season was different. They finally wanted to settle down and build a life with the person they love most. Having, a slightly naive, hope that they’d fine that very person within this very season. Hoping that they’d find someone who’ll love them and not their station in life. You might be the answers to their silent prayers.
“I know that I’m not everyone’s first pick,” they murmur softly, gently cupping your cheek in their hand. “But I hope that you know that you’ll always be mine. No matter what I’ll always be there for you.”
Henry/Helena Hale [M/F] - The Flirt
29 [6’0” | Hazel Eyes | Golden Blonde Hair]
Heartthrob and heartbreaker is a common comparison when it comes to the elusive Hale Heir; an individual that hasn’t let anyone near them— except for promises of a good time— since the accident seven years before. Will you be able to crack the shell— comprised of witty remarks, salacious smiles, and sly jokes— or will they forever remain an enigma to you?
“I don’t fall in love, don’t you get that?” The statement is practically hissed out as they turn away from you; one of their hands running through their curls. “I don’t do roses and moonlit dinners. I don’t do happily ever afters but God do I want to do that with you.”
Scott/Scarlett Reid [M/F] - The Scotsman
28 [5’11” | Blue-Green Eyes | Dark Auburn Hair]
An individual that was almost as new to the court season as you were. Hailing from a little town within Scotland; they find all of the intricacies of the people within the court to be quite amusing. With a warm smile, a welcoming air, and a genuine compassion for those around them, you weren’t surprised that many were quite taken with them already. Would you be the one to gain their attention?
“I may not have a lot of money, dearest one.” The admission, although you were well aware of the fact beforehand, causes them to pause slightly; the slightest furrowing of their brow becoming more pronounced. “But, I promise you that as long as I have you I could never be poor. You’re all the treasure I could ever ask for and more.”
Caelum/Caelya Lancaster [M/F] - The Sorcerer
??? [6’6” | Silver Eyes | Platinum Blonde Hair]
You’ve heard whispers your entire life about the magical entity that even your father fears; an entity that can make dreams come true as easily as they can turn them into nightmares. When you first meet them you weren’t expecting the being that greeted you. The chilling gaze, saccharine smile, and husky purr meshing into a package that could only ever be likened to them, which is why you could spot them so easily from across the ballroom.
“If you fulfill our deal, my little star, then you’ll live happily ever after with whatever creature you meet up above. But—” Their grin turns into a devious smirk as they lean closer; eyes flashing with warning as their voice drops to a low husk. “If you can’t then you’ll be mine and I don’t plan on letting you go.”
Hello! I just wanted to make sure you're doing okay since you haven't posted in awhile. Here's some flowers💐and a cupcake🧁I hope everything is okay 😊
I’m doing alright. I was just involved in a small incident with a four wheeler that landed me in the hospital (and with a couple injuries). I’ve now been home for almost a week now and I’m starting to feel much better. Even if getting around is still hard. I’ve thought of a lot of various scenes for RTNNL and Siren during my stint being bedridden though.
Thank you so much for sending this. It’s very sweet that you did. I hope that you’re doing okay too!

The Threads That Bind is a free to play interactive novel set within the magical world of Harry Potter. Wherein you play as a wizard that’s been transported back into the Founder’s Era of Hogwarts. Will you find your way back? Will you want to?
The Magical World is filled a variety of creatures— from fire breathing dragons to shrieking plants— that vary in terms of deadliness. The creatures, however, aren’t the only things one needed to watch out for; other magic users, the one’s with an affinity to the Dark Arts, still roamed even after years of Voldemort’s defeat.
That’s where you come in.
You’re an Auror— a police officer for the Magical World— that makes sure the innocent people of Diagon Alley, and beyond, are kept safe.
It was during one of these chases— having been tipped off about a suspected straggler from Voldemort’s Army— that your life changed forever.
Having crashed through one of the seedier stores within Knockturn Alley, you were blinded by a flash of light before appearing in a world that seemed like your own but was completely different all the same.
Not only were you stuck in the past— centuries before you were ever borne— you had no idea how to return to the present.
Nor did the people who came with you…
This story will be rated 18+ later on for profanity, alcohol consumption, violence, sexual themes, and mentions of torture.
Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, magical leanings, sexuality, gender, and various other things.
Choose your Patronus (when it crops up)!
Choose which House you had been apart of! Allowing for amusing dialogue with the Founder’s (especially the one that you choose the romance).
Romance 1 of 6 options that will offer unique experiences for your MCs.
Find your way through a world that is so familiar but so alien all the same.
Discover Hogwarts as you’ve never seen it and interact with a whole new cast of characters.
Play Qudditch— possibly with one of the Founder’s— and learn how the game might have changed.
Figure out a way to get back to your own time— if you even want to— while trying not to hurt one of the people who had come with you.
Interact with a variety of magical creatures.
The Founder of House Gryffindor; Godric/Godria is exactly as the stories have spoken of. Standing tall and proud, auburn hair falling in gentle waves, as their green eyes observe their surroundings. Their famous sword always on their hip as they traverse through the halls of Hogwarts.
Will you tame their lion heart? Or will you get nothing but heartache for your troubles?
The Founder of House Hufflepuff; Helge/Helga is a kind hearted being that wants nothing but the best for their students— and for the other Founders to stop bickering— with encouraging words always leaving their lips. Dark brown hair, paired with hazel eyes, giving off a gentle aura that they always try to maintain.
Will you show them the loyalty they’ve always given others? Or will you leave them like the many before?
The Founder of House Ravenclaw; Rowen/Rowena is an intelligent individual that always has an air of detachment surrounding them. Raven black hair, crystalline blue eyes, and fair skin, gives them an intimidating stature that they don’t dispute. However, it’s with a select few of their students that they let their guard down. Letting their true identity to appear. Will you ever become lucky enough to see it?
Will you be able to temper their talons? Or will you only end up getting cut?
The Founder of House Slytherin; Salazar/Salazara is not what you were expecting when you met them for the first time. Pale blonde hair, slate grey eyes, and alabaster skin were not things you’ve ever heard them be described with. Their cunning mind, quick wit, and silver tongue doing well to detract from peoples attention on their looks.
Will you be able to withstand their venom? Or will you fall prey to it like many before you?
Your partner— one of the people that had been unfortunately pulled with you— for over two years. They may not have the most practical ideas but they’re more likely to work than one may think. Their dark brown eyes filled with nothing but warmth towards you— pairing well with their onyx black curls and medium brown skin tone— as they’ve often mentioned they could have never asked for a better partner.
Will you become more? Or is that all you will ever be?
The other person that was pulled along— unfortunately for you— who also happens to be the very person you had been chasing. One of the last stragglers of Voldemort’s army; Kieran/Kiera’s dark blue eyes are sharper than the simple lackeys you’ve met before. Paired with their flirtatious smile and quips, you know you have quite the time ahead of you. Especially now that you don’t technically have the jurisdiction to detain them.
Will you find out what hides underneath the mark on their arm? Or will they forever remain an enigma to you?
"Romance 1 of 5 possible options that will hopefully make your choice easier… or make it ten times harder."
Step 1: Choose an RO to romance
Failed Step 1 because I cannot choose.
OP, how dare you make such good and intriguing ROs? 😭
Jokes aside, I CANNOT wait to play this story. 🥰 I love all sorts of merfolk and siren stories so I know I'm in for a delight.
I’m glad you like them so much 💙
Trust me there are some characters that I cut from the list that you all may want to romance anyway— which may have made your choice even harder— so I did you one small favor at least.
If you need any help at all in choose, I’d be more than happy to offer my assistance.
I can’t wait for you all to play it either. I have a lot of fun stuff planned; plus one of my dear friend is helping me and I know some of you love the way she writes too.
The Hymn of Winter is a free to play interactive novel that’s set within the world of ASoIF (Game of Thrones). With the premise being centered around a simple question; what if the wall had fallen before?
Winter is here…
The Wall…
A marvel of construction that many don’t know the true origins of— besides what is written in legend— and the true purpose having been lost to time.
You were among the few chosen to guard it— the Night’s Watch— a task that you were never sure how to respond to; as you weren’t quite sure if the Wall needed any guarding to begin with.
That is until you step out beyond it. Until you come face-to-face with chilling blue eyes that you know, with complete certainty, that you weren’t there to guard the wall; you were there to guard Westeros and be the first line of defense against the monstrosities that lay beyond.
You were the siren that would kick Westeros into action.
You just hope that everyone will be prepared when Winter arrives.
This story is 18+ (as it is based off of GoT) for alcohol consumption, profanity, violence, gore, mentions of torture, sexual themes, and mentions of incest (again GoT).
THoW is set centuries before the GoT as you know it. So, don’t expect to come across any characters you may be familiar with. Though you may see characters with similar names.
Customizable MC: name, nickname, gender, sexuality, fighting style, and a smattering of other things.
Find, and rescue, a lost direwolf that will soon become a companion you never knew that you needed. A creature that history had also forgotten about.
Romance 1 of 5 possible choices (some from your favorite houses); as everyone deserves to find love. Especially when they think they’re not going to live past the coming year.
Sharpen your skills as you prepare for what is coming. Don’t let yourself forget about the incoming threat.
Demo TBA
The youngest heir to the Iron Throne; Rhaegar/Rhaella are known far and wide for their beauty and prowess in battle. However, no one ever truly sees the youngest heir as they mainly keep to themselves— unless their training with their tutors— or they’re with their dragon; Aegarax. His shadow passing over King’s Landing at dawn and not returning until dusk.
Will you be the one to finally pull them out of their self imposed exile? Or will they forever be a phantom that ghosts across the Red Keep?
One of the only people to believe that you hadn’t abandoned the Watch. Dorren/Dorea stopped their father from enacting the punishment such a crime deserved; their steel grey eyes never wavered from yours as they offered you their hand. With a gentle smile, a playful demeanor, and a carefree countenance; you were surprised with how fearsome they could become when pushed.
Will you be the thing they’ve been searching for their entire life? Or will their search have to continue on?
With a standoffish demeanor, acidic words, and flippant attitude; not many can get close to the heir of the Lannister family. Cerion/Cera aren’t known for their patience with people but the moment they met you they found something special within you. If nothing else they find your tales quite amusing and wish to learn more about them.
Will you see through their mask of spite? Or will it forever be something that bars them from the world?
An quick witted individual that finds life to be filled with possibilities; having come to King’s Landing with their older brother for a marriage proposal. Arienn/Arienna isn’t one to let the world weigh them down; instead they try to fill with laughter and cheer. People die enough already as it is.
Will you finally give them a reason to smile too?
Your fellow member of the Night’s Watch— one of the only people that stayed behind on the venture to the beyond— and one that you’ve never particularly gotten along with. Their silver tongue, flirty attitude, and general attitude towards life clashing with your own personality. However, you need them now as much as they need you. You just hope that you don’t kill one another by the end of it.
Will you settle your differences? Or will they be the thing that forever keeps you apart?

The Spark of Hope is a free to play interactive novel set within the world of Star Wars. Wherein you’ll take the role of a young Jedi trying to find their way in a galaxy that has turned on its head; some liberties have been taken with the lore but that’s all for the sake of the story.
May the Force be with you…
The Empire…
It’s synonymous with everything that has gone wrong within the known galaxy; taking life as if they were a simple inconvenience. Many know it as the dark cloud— the dark force— constantly hovering over them. Just waiting for a time when it’s suitable to strike.
You, however, know it a bit more intimately than the other inhabitants of the galaxy. To them the Empire, and subsequently the Emperor, was a faceless tyrant. An entity that needed no physical form for them to feel its presence.
To you he was father…
And to him you were a pawn that he could use to tighten his hold. To ensure that he would stay in power.
The only thing in your favor? You were able to escape the Empire’s hold but it’s only a matter of time before he tracks you down.
Even if you wouldn’t be able to stop him, you only needed to get people to see that they had a fighting chance.
That rebelling was the only way to survive.
And that you weren’t the enemy.
This story is 18+ for violence, depictions of torture, sexual themes, profanity, and alcohol consumption.
The lore, as I’ve mentioned previously, is shifted primarily around two things; that Jedi aren’t allowed to fall in love and that Palpatine is known (meaning his face). Palpatine is an ambiguous entity that can look a bit different then how you remember him. I hope that doesn’t upset anyone too much.
This is set before the original movies but after the prequels. Where the Rebellion was first starting out.
Customizable MC: name, nickname, appearance, gender, sexuality, fighting style, and more.
Choose your lightsaber color— that will boost your stats appropriately— from blue to green to purple to yellow.
Romance 1 of 5 options that will show you what you’ve been missing in life. Or choose to stay single.
Visit different planets as you try to recruit allies— while going under the Empire’s radar— and meet interesting people in the process.
Make sure that you don’t crash the Tempest too much, alright? Her captain won’t be too pleased with you.
Toe the line between the Light and Dark side as you try to sever your bond with the Empire. Don’t lose your way…
Have fun down time with your companions— namely your small droid friend— and get to learn more about them as you travel through the depths of space.
Practice the force and hone your skills with your lightsaber— just make sure you don’t blow anything up— as you never know who may show up.
Anehsi/Anehsa Kaa [M/F] - The Warrior
[5’8” | Sky Blue Eyes]
Species: Togruta
You meet the empathetic individual on one of your first stops after escaping the Empire. With kind eyes, a fighting spirit, and a genuine want to help, you know that you have an ally that you can trust. But maybe you’ve found something more too.
Rhen/Rhea Solace [M/F] - The Mechanic
[5’10 | Silver Eyes | Dark Brown Hair]
Species: Human
The other half of the Tempests modest crew; a flirt that has a way with the machinery of any spacecraft. With sly words, a saccharine smile, and innuendos exuding from them, you know your time aboard the ship has just gotten a lot more interesting. Especially when you notice the softer edge they have when they think no one is looking.
Castor/Celeste Ekiam - The Anchor
[5’6 | Hazel Eyes | Auburn Hair]
Species: Human
The only person that you trusted enough to tell your plan— about how you needed to leave everything behind— and who, without hesitation, came with you.

Elaire/Elaira Amadis [M/F] - The Captain
[6’3” | Green Eyes | Golden-White Hair]
Species: Human
The captain of the Tempest that has sarcasm exuding from every word; their guard up around you even if they don’t know where you’re truly from. Will you be able to show them that you’re not a threat? Soothe the years pain from their eyes as you get to know them aboard their ship? Or will it all crumble before your eyes?
Kit'alo'nuruodo (Kit) [M/F] - The Bounty Hunter
[6’0” | Red Eyes | Jet Black Hair]
Species: Chiss
A pragmatic individual that has a cunning intellect— you were able to see that the moment you met their gaze— which makes their prowess in battle that much more deadly. You may not be sure if they’re on your side completely but you’re glad they’re not actively trying to kill you anymore too.
Eventually you’re going to get tired of me asking random questions. Feel free to get a squirt bottle to tell me to shoosh and wait and see.
Is Atlantis the only city or are there others? Are there separate oceanic kingdoms? Are there migratory habits for merpeople? What do they eat? Are merpeople predators in the water (Mc is friends with a shark and all)? Fish are food, not always friends? Or do they sustain off of ocean plant life? Or is this be a lifestyle type choice? Vegetarians of the sea.
I don’t mind at all 💙
There are four main cities (that I can of off the top of my head). Atlantis the capital city for mermaids— the seat of the king and queen—, Iēdar a city within the open ocean that nomadic mermaids frequent, Zōbrie the abyssal city in the deep, and Thavia which is like the city of light (the more modern city).
Atlantis:
Iēdar:
Zōbrie:
Thavia:
———————
Deep Sea Mermaids are usually the ones that migrate— as they’re used to the ever-shifting patterns of the open ocean— but other types can migrate too (if they want to go to more temperate waters or colder). It all depends on the individual mermaid.
As for being predators? Again it depends on the mermaid. Deep Sea Mermaids are more predatory than Reef Mermaids because of the lack of plant life. Reef Mermaids are more prone to eat plant-life (especially with their relationships with sea creatures) but it’s not uncommon for them to eat smaller crustaceans or fish that they can’t truly speak with.
