    Summary

    "So," Martin takes a sip from his mug, the same sunflower one from the night before. "You're a human, then?"

    Jon nods. "Once. It's... Complicated." Jon grabs his thimble and takes a sip. Chamomile. Better than peppermint he thinks, but still not his favorite.

    "It's a curse. Pretty bad one, too." He sets the thimble down. "Not painful, necessarily, not like lots of curses. But... Inconvenient. And it doesn't seem to be leaving me anytime soon."

    "I could help you." Martin offers, and when Jon looks up at him, he seems just as surprised by the offer as Jon does.

    "I mean, well... I'm an apothecary. I could try to heal you, if you'd let me." Martin explains, staring down at his tea.
    _________

    Jon is the victim of an odd curse, and the kind apothecary who saved his life offers to heal him and let him stay in his cottage. How could Jon possibly say no?

    Summary

    Martin takes a deep breath, closes his eyes, and says, “I may have … met a god?”

    Sasha blinks at him. “Is that a metaphor, or…?”

    Softly, Martin says, “Their name is Jon.”

    .

    In a historical-esque fantasy world with gods and humans, Martin, a human who works as a librarian and bookbinder, stumbles across a temple full of books and meets Jon, a god of knowledge who’s taken an interest in Martin and wants to get to know him. Martin splits his time between working at the village library alongside Sasha, who’s suspicious of where all the new books are coming from, searching for a cure for his terminally ill mother who seems to dislike him no matter what he does, and visiting the temple to read books and tell stories with Jon. As he spends more and more time with Jon, Martin begins to realize how wonderful it is—but also how difficult it can be—to fall in love with a god.

    Summary

    Jonathan Sims is a merperson who has always lived below the waves. One day, however, he steals away and ventures to the surface in search of someone he lost. On newfound legs, his search takes him to The Magnus Institute — the foremost academic institution researching crypto-zoology and crypto-marine biology, headed by the enigmatic Elias Bouchard. With his new position as Head Archivist, Jon is in the perfect place to continue his search. Hiding his secret identity as merfolk should no problem, either.

    After all, it's not like he wants to be friends, much less more-than-friends with the humans.

    And surely none of them are hiding secrets of their own.

    Right?

    ...

    In other words: It's a selkie and merfolk AU! Jon is merfolk, and goes to the surface in search of a long-lost friend. He takes a job at the Magnus Institute as part of his search, and soon finds himself embroiled in all kinds of drama — including, but not limited to, falling in love.

    Complete!

    Summary

    “Come on, boss,” Tim says. “You’re going to have to help us out here. If it’s really you, give us a meow?”

    Jon hates all his assistants. Every single one of them. But, on balance, he supposes it’s best if they are cognisant of the whole situation, so he reluctantly opens his mouth and gives his crossest, least friendly meow.

    *

    Or, when Jon reads a Leitner and is turned into a cat, Martin is the only one who can take him home overnight. And, to top things off, it’s a Friday, so they’re going to have to spend the whole weekend together.

    Surely things can only go downhill from here.
