 A queer reimagining of "The Selkie Wife".

I am glad to finally see a story where someone else sees the horror behind the Selkie Wife. Being kidnapped and forced to be a man's wife, torn away not just your family but a part of yourself, completely cut off.

I adored this story and I do like the occasional HEA.
