Summary
Simon learned a lot about getting the impossible done during his time in the military.
Hostage situations, interrogations, arms dealings and stakeouts — there wasn’t much wiggle room left for backing down from a challenge when lives were on the line. He grew used to it; thrived in it, even. Pressure was good, kept him moving, and the thrill of making shit possible was addictive.
And so now he's here, melting beneath the hot tongue and sharp teeth of Johnny’s mouth, fingers skimming over the sandpaper-rough skin near where his torso became tail.
“Gorgeous,” Johnny purrs, licking along his teeth, “My pretty pearl, my sweetheart, my darlin’. Can’t wait to have a family with you, gonna spoil all of you fuckin’ rotten.”
“Gotta pup me first,” Simon teases, his chuckle melting into a moan when Johnny nips at his lip when he pulls away. He stays there, pinned into place by the flat, predator eyes of a shark, focused wholly on Simon beneath him.
“I will,” Johnny promises, voice trembling with the strength of his emotions. “Fuck, I will. C’mere.”
or: Soap learns how Ghost likes his eggs.

Ghost found out that Johnny wasn’t fucking human on a random Tuesday in May.
He finds out more specifically what that means while he's stuck with Johnny in a shitty two-room cabin on the wrong side of the Baltics.

Summary
Soap is a PhD student, doing his research in Antarctica on the behaviors and hunting habits of leopard seals. During his expedition, he becomes obsessed with a leucistic seal, who he's taken to calling Ghost.
His attempts at tagging Ghost for tracking purposes have all failed, leaving Soap frustrated, but determined to try again. He won't stop until he gets the data he needs for his dissertation.
At the same time, Soap is stuck in an escalating, heated flirting match with a hydroponics employee at another base. It's foolish to form romantic relationships with someone he knows will vanish from his life once their expeditions are over, but there's something fascinating about this man that he can't ignore.
*****
A fun little MerMay twitter fic, adapted for easier reading on ao3!

Summary
Before starting his rounds, Soap made a small prayer to the sea, asking for it to be kind and not make his work more difficult after the nightmare of a night he just had. Unfortunately for Soap, his prayer had fallen on deaf ears and it had only taken twenty minutes for the sea to make him regret his earlier thoughts.
About five meters away from where he stood, barely visible through the thick fog, was a tail that resembled a whale's except for its small size. In all his years as a lighthouse keeper, he had never encountered anything quite like the one he was currently looking at. Behind what looked like a mask carved out of bone, two dark eyes were staring at Soap, reminding him of the stormy sky from the previous night, with skin the colour of pale moonlight. The creature in front of him looked like it came straight from that old legend about sea maidens he had been particularly fond of during his childhood.
After a rough night manning the light, Soap has to check the island for stranded boats. What he did not expect was to find a beached merman instead.

Summary
When Harry's name comes out of the Goblet of Fire, he is livid. He didn't bloody want to join a deadly tournament, but it seems like no one believes him, so he swears a wizarding oath.
Now everyone believes him, but he still isn't excused from the tournament. Almost on the point of wanting to give up on his magic, Death interferes because Death's chosen child can't lose his magic.
****
''This is why you are going to be perfect.'' Death almost croons, making Harry blush. ''If you're going with me to train, you will be back in no time. Time travels differently in my realm.''
Harry nods. He suspected something like that. ''Then I will go with you to train. It is only fair. The others are older and have more experience.''
''Harry, no!'' Dumbledore exclaims, but Harry knows it is too late. Death is already grasping his arm, and then everything turns dark around him.

"I can send you back. Not to your body, but to one many years ago. Harry, you must fix the natural order of Death, on my behalf."
Harry's breath faltered. It was all so confusing... Harry had died. He had died and spoken to Death and suddenly he was standing in Hogwarts, in 1942, and the Sorting Hat had just pronounced him Slytherin. Death had chuckled at that.

Summary
“Scared Potter?” Malfoy sneered, and Harry snapped. He was done, finished, fed up with playing the innocent little Gryffindor with no common sense and a microscopic amount of intelligence. He rolled his eyes.
“Why yes Malfoy, I’m terrified, can’t you see me quaking in my boots? You, a second year child armed with a stick is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Please, please don’t fatally injure me in front of three hundred witnesses and two teachers with your mean words and nasty smiles. Whatever shall I do?” The entire hall fell silent and Malfoy gaped. Harry smirked. Lockhart looked entirely bemused, and he thought Snape might be holding back a laugh.
Harry spent his first year hiding his intelligence and playing the role of the Boy Who Lived. However Lockhart and Malfoys' combined presence finally causes him to snap, and chaos ensues from there.

Summary
Leonard Snart is a real up and comer in the crime world. He’s ruthless, clever, and doesn’t care who he has to screw over to get what he wants—because it’s the only way he can get ahead. That is, until he screws over the Santini family. No one crosses Vincent Santini and gets away with it, and Len is no exception. That’s how he ends up with weights chained to his legs, sinking to the bottom of the river.
He knows he’s going to die and that almost no one will miss him. As he passes out, though, a beautiful face appears in front of him. When he wakes up, he’s on the river bank, safe and not dead. The face haunts his dreams that night, whispers of a song and the cold press of lips against his.
Then, Barry walks on shore.
Mermaid AU inspired by coldflashwavebaby's prompt.
