come down, i'd follow you by coffeewordangel | G | 1699 Prompted anonymously with, "mermaid zayn gets caught in liam's fishermen's net". I took a slightly different angle with it.
Wish You Were Here by alittlewicked | G | 2492 From time to time, Louis got a peculiar feeling in his chest. Like something was literally tugging at his heartstrings. It was like the urgent need to be somewhere, like a niggling feeling at the back of his brain. That vague notion that something… or even someone was waiting out there for him to finally catch up to them, to come home. Or: The one were Louis is looking for home and finally finds it in Harry, the selkie.
Songs of the Sea by Anony_Moouse | T | 14626 “Hello.” The man says, his voice low and rumbling. Liam’s town is small. Even he, who speaks only to those he must, knows the faces of each person by sight, if not by name. This man is strange. “Are you lost?” Liam asks. The man’s smile remains but his forehead creases, eyebrows drawing together as he blinks at Liam. “I am not sure.” He says slowly, glancing over his shoulder towards the sea. Liam is a fisherman living on the Irish Coast. He lives a quiet life; happiness a luxury he hasn’t known for years. But a stranger knocks on his door with nowhere to go. An odd, happy man, Harry brings to Liam’s life a joy he hadn’t known possible. But his presence couldn’t have anything to do with the seal pelt, tucked away in the far corner of Liam’s home…
Leave Your Damage Behind and Gone by QuickedWeen | T | 15673 It's the spring of 1882 and Sir Louis Tomlinson is a simple man with simple needs. Money. Running an old estate and dairy farm costs money, and he would much rather focus on his science experiments than take a trip to the Exposició Universal de Barcelona to beg for funding especially when everyone there is English anyway. He's taking a walk one night to clear his head when he comes upon something mysterious on the beach that may or may not change his life forever.
love him (if he wounds you, if he tears your heart to pieces) by sailorharry | M | 17910 Niall has a secret – he’s not exactly normal. He loves the ocean a bit too much, loves the taste of salt in the air and the cold wind whipping at his face. Zayn loves Niall – more than he should, more than he has ever loved anybody – and he loves Niall’s secret just as much, even if it threatens to tear their band apart.
wake the morn and greet the dawn (with hearts entwined and free) by mixedfandomfics | T | 21364 It was a great storm that sent Harry ashore. Grandmothers professed they had not seen its like in a generation, and fathers lost their sons to the sea.
Water shows the hidden heart by noellehenry | M | 30995 The wind turns slowly into a storm, tugging at the roof and the door. Howling and moaning around the house. The dripping has become a stream of water, pouring through the roof. Louis checks on the bucket, he might need his fish bucket too tonight. He sits down again in his armchair near the hearth when there is a desperate knock on his door. Louis quickly gets up. The screens block the windows, so he can’t see who is brave enough to go out in this terrible weather. He unlocks the door and quickly asks: “Who is it ?” No answer, but another insistent knock. He opens the door carefully and nearly faints. In front of him stands a tall, lean, wet and naked young man, shivering in the ice cold wind. Louis steps aside and motions for the stranger to come in. A selkie AU set in Ireland in the 1930's.
