Sharkd

Shark'd

by Flitterpuff and Mad Maxine

The arrival of Vertex Events along with the horrors therein have changed the world, granting fantastic powers and sparking conflict. This isn’t a grand narrative of heroes or villains. It's merely a small footnote—a story of one woman’s self-discovery and acceptance. 

Dragged out to a nighttime beach party by his ever-upbeat roommate, the once-normal Victor experiences quite the shift…

 

The Monster of Anders Island

The Monster of Anders Island

By Quill Rabbit

Martin desperately wants to live as a woman, but his oppressive community ostracizes him for being "gay." He seeks help from Doctor Schuyler, a local scientist studying human transmutation, but the serum she devises seems to have some unusual side effects because of the fish DNA involved. Does Martin trust the good doctor or turn down the only treatment that will give him a chance at happiness?

 

Shark Genderfluid

Can a Shark Swim in Gender Fluid?

By Beedok

In the distant future, nanotech allows for rather more interesting medical transitions than we have today. Maraĵa's not only helped with her gender dysphoria, but also having turned her into a shark girl, as part of a deal with the resort she works for.

Her simple and nerdy life is turned sideways when the resort becomes the home of a politician in exile. Not from the politician, but from one of his tall and muscular bodyguards that gets poor Maraĵa's lesbian heart a fluttering.

Only there's more to the bodyguard than there seems at first.

Clear Blue

Clear Blue
