Sunshine: Stories Set at the Seaside
My response to the sixth Sunshine prompt, Amphitrite is only another self-rec post. There is something about the sea in the following fics.
Truly Travelling Towards Someone
This fic is set in Brighton and Beachy Head, but there's no bathing. There's some focus on a sea view in the closing scene.
This Little Oyster
In this fic, the travelling towards "an island without name" takes even a lot more words before we get to see the sea. The name is revealed in the end notes.
Freedom They Can Reach
At the beginning of this story the characters are leaving Folkestone beach.
Dream Another Presence
This fic is short, only 650 words, and almost all of it is set at the seaside, and there's even some bathing. The resort is unnamed, as in 2009, when I wrote this, I didn't always do the research so as to include references to a particular place.
Come Up With Me
This is one of my early first-person fics (from 2005). The story is set in Thessaloniki, Greece, and in December. The sea is visible in later scenes, too, but we're closest to it at the beginning of the story.
There is not much for me to depict in a pencil sketch when I focus merely on the almost imperceptible line between the sea and the sky. ... No more gazing into that grey water, or it will call me to fall in. Fortunately it smells of rotten fish and toilets.
