Fics like The Arms of the Ocean, So Sweet and So Cold

The beach is deceptively quiet. Zhou Zishu is used to the bustle of the city, to the never-ending roar of the traffic and electricity and people, and how it fades into background radiation that's so easy to ignore. But out here, in this tiny house perched at the top of the hill overlooking the dunes and waves, the silence tries to deafen him. Without the white noise of constant activity, the crash of the ocean grates on his nerves like the scrape of metal on metal. The wind that blows through the sea grass keeps him awake at night, and the harsh cries of the gulls set his teeth on edge. Now as Zhou Zishu sits on his porch, looking over the sunset on the churning water and enjoying the burn of whiskey that slides down his throat, he lets out a bitter laugh. It's a good thing he didn't come here to relax; he came here to die. Or the merman/ex-cryptid hunter au!
