    Summary

    Edward Cullen was a vampire—beautiful, unreadable, and visibly panicked around my father.

    I wasn’t just human. I was half Meir’ha’dun—not a mermaid, but something older. Colder. We evolved in the trench zones—no scales, no shimmer—just seawater skin and bones that don’t break.

    My brown eyes turn silver when I shift. My teeth can slice through fishbone and flesh. I wasn’t mythical—I was biological: wrong, real, and surfacing fast.

    Myth makes monsters sound poetic. Biology just makes them real—and reality always comes with a cost.

    I moved in with my father to escape the Phoenix heat—and to hunt in the deep. Edward brought me a tuna sandwich and failed to dodge Charlie’s shameless innuendos.

     

    A Twilight AU that mirrors canon’s pivotal moments—but tells a stranger story of its own.
    New chapter every two weeks on Sundays ~11PM CET (Central European Time).
    Next chapter will be up Monday, April 13, due to a technical issue.
