Length: 19,985 words
Warnings/Contains: mermaid!Stiles, AU, shapeshifter!Derek, surfer!Derek
Notes: This is an auction fic based on a gif set from tumblr that is unfortunately no longer available for me to link to. Suffice to say, it's Sterek with mermaid!Stiles, and the surfer bits I got all on my own. The ancient book, Stiles swimming away, and mermaids came from the gif set. As a sidenote, this is marked mature, but I will admit that it treads the line between mature and explicit so please do not expect heavy hot mermaid smut. I did research the sexuality of whales for this fic (because whales are mammals, like mermaids, and unlike fish) which just barely shows in the story. As always, I do not own the world nor characters of Teen Wolf, I just like to play with them. If you think there is a tag that I've missed or should be on here either as a warning or to help folks find this story, please let me know!
Summary: Everything changes when Derek goes under while surfing, hits his head on a board, and sees a man with a tail swimming away. He wants to know who that was, and what it has to do with Beacon Hills, the one place he never meant to come back to.
