Author Notes: Major thanks to my beta RnV for her endless patience with my whinging.

I read Kaizoku's story "Selkie" on KMM several years ago and I fell in love with it. When I got my assignment, I really didn't even have to think about which of her stories to remix. I knew I wanted to do this one!

I grew up listening to my grandmother telling fantastical tales of fairies and elves, bogeymen and banshees, and all sorts of other supernatural creatures. But I always really loved the sad, haunting tales of the selkies. Full of longing and heartache, they were tragically beautiful stories where everyone seemed destined for heartbreak from the the very first word.

Kaizoku captured the essence of the folk tales beautifully with her story. I can only hope that I've managed to add something worthwhile with my take on it.
