If you have chance to put leo x usagi in multiple aus, what would those au be? Like pirate au, royal au... Etc. And if you want what plot do you have for the au?

Ohh gosh I'm not much of a that kind of AU person anymore but I do like mermaids so probably that :D It wouldn't be a regular mermaid AU though – Leonardo would just be an aquatic turtle person, lmao.

It would be the basic "merman saves a guy from drowning, romance ensues" plot because I'm tacky like that AND IT'S A REALLY CUTE PLOT OKAY

"Since you destroyed the previous book I gave you despite me telling you not to get it wet," Lorenz reprimands, his affection thinly veiled behind his stern tone, "I had this one alchemically treated. You can store it underwater without damaging it." "I'll treasure it," Claude says, his eyes bright and curious as he flips through the pages before looking back up at him with a mischievous smile, "You should be careful, though. If you keep giving me such thoughtful gifts, I'm going to start thinking you've fallen in love with me." "Regrettably,” Lorenz allows, “you wouldn't be entirely mistaken."

How fast does Seahorse Holly move in water? Seahorses are slow swimmers because they have a small swimming tail fin. Does she move fast because of fantasy/cartoon logic or slow because of realistic logic?

Also, if Cuphead and Holly are dating in the mermaid au. A Seahorse couple would wrap around each other's tails so they don't lose each other in the ocean. Can you make art of Holly and Cuphead wrapping their tails around each other's? It's okay if you don't want to make this art.

Yeah realistic logic. Not a big fan of cartoon logic explanations. She’s a very slow swimmer unfortunately. (Fun fact seahorses are among the slowest fish in the ocean) She tries her best when they need to travel. Using her hands and arms to help propel if she needs the boost. But it’s pretty tiring trying to keep up with everyone. So Cuphead usually offers to carry her or help her out if she needs it.

Yes, this is Colly. And they’re actually dating. Because I ship those two so cussing hard. I read that about seahorses when doing research for this AU. She curls her tail when she’s asleep/cuddling as to not accidentally float away. But she also curls her tail around Cup’s when she’s flirting with him or just near him. She’s kinda embarrassed about it but Cup finds it adorable.

And I don’t mind art requests! Especially for my AUs!!

So here’s Holly hitching a ride and falling asleep on Cuphead!!

😁

Thanks for the ask Fox!

Sunken Treasure by @queen-swagzilla

Summary: Izuku and Katsuki are mermen in the same pod. They're best friends—partners in crime—and they do everything together. They even take up jobs guarding the pod's territory together.

When Katsuki presents as an alpha, nothing changes. Izuku expects that nothing will change when he presents, either. But then, he presents as an omega. At first, he doesn't mind. Why would anything change? Besides, maybe now that he's an omega, Katsuki would consider courting him.

But instead, Katsuki all but vanishes.

The Tides They Are A-Changing by @mjbunnyluv

Summary: When Izuku gets separated from his pod during the annual migration to the breeding grounds, he must rely on a strange mer to help him find his way home. Notorious for rejecting any and all courting gifts, the young mer is confused when he begins to develop feelings for the blonde stud. Fighting off feral mers, avoiding fishing nets, and oil spills, the pair grow closer, all the while trying to conceal their true feelings for one another.

A Love Song from the Deep by MadameButtButt

Summary: His pod has always feared the Dragons, the alien clan that dwelled among volcanic vents of the deep, and with good reason. No one has seen one in generations, but Izuku heard stories of blind, listless things that drifted along the sea floor like ghosts.

— — —

Wherein Izuku is a curious merman, and his new friend is very fascinating.

Trapped by jaegerackereri

Summary: Izuku knew he shouldn’t have followed that seagull towards the coast. He knew that’s where the humans were and he was told many a story of how destructive they could be.

But being just a little gup he had foolishly followed the pretty odd bird towards the land where sea meets sand.

And right into the hands of three exotic animal dealers…

Series: Breathe In by @contrarybee

Summary: Midoryia Izuku was born in captivity. He's never known the ocean.

His human carer Yagi-san tells him they're getting a new merman in the aquarium, one that they hope Izuku might like. Having been alone since his mother's death, Izuku is beyond excited to have a new mer around, but Bakugo Katsuki might prove to be too much. Or maybe he's just right.

A Call from the Ocean (Introduction)

Ohmygoodness, you guys, I finally finished my concept art for my big Thiam project and this is the introduction to my latest AU. (This is just the beginning, so I hope you are ready for a bit of a ride. 😅) I am so happy for you all to finally meet my little mer!Theo. 🥺 & Welcome to; A Call from the Ocean Summary; Liam Dunbar likes to think he's just your average, everyday, twenty-two year old guy. A College student majoring in history. Captain and star of the swim team. And seemingly just a happy go lucky person. But if only life were that simple. And for Liam, living with his disorder is anything but. Not everyone will and can understand what it's like living with IED. Forced to explain his outbursts of what others see as irrational anger and feeling like a freak. Liam finds solace and peace in one place. The ocean. He's felt the pull of the sea for as long as he can remember and it's like a second home to him. But could there be something else that calls Liam to the waters edge? Something more that lurks beneath the waves? And somewhere deep under the surface of that very ocean is where Theo calls home. An outcast of his kind, a survivor despite the odds being against him and leader of his small pod of three. Theo wonders if there could ever be more to his cold, painful existence. He wonders if he'll ever know a real life, a life lived and not just survived. He wonders if he'll ever experience a touch that's more than claws piercing his flesh and littering his skin with scars. Theo would give anything to know that there is something out there better than this. ..... A few things about this AU, I love mermaids/merpeople and have always been fascinated by them. So, I really couldn't resist making an AU for my all time favorite OTP. And when I imagined Theo as a mer, I fell in love with him and I just couldn't get him out of my head. I jumped all in and let it consume me for months. 😅 Waiting until MERMAY to finally post him. 💜 I had a lot of fun with his design and I didn't want 'frilly Disney mermaid' vibes. I wanted Theo to be beautiful, of course. But I also wanted him to be just a little bit terrifying. 😅 like, yes, he could rip your throat out and drown you before you can even scream, but he would look so pretty while he does it that you may just thank him for the experience. 😅🤣 Also, yes, I did one of his concept arts twice because I wanted to show the fact that parts of Theo are bioluminecent. I mean, c'mon, Bioluminecense is one of the most beautiful and magical things about the ocean, so it only felt right to make him that way. So I did a 'night' version but I still wanted you to be able to see the colors of his fans in both kinds of lighting. Last but never least, I have a few people that I really need to give a shoutout to for this AU. I was truly nervous about it, so I decided to reach out to a few of the wonderful friends I have made on here to get their thoughts and opinions. I honestly couldn't have made this peice if it wasn't for you all because your feedback and support has been vital for this. And we are talking months of y'all having to deal with my nonesense. 😅😅😅 @sterekshipper-writer​, @thiamsxbitch​, @sydney-winchester​, @wolfboy88​, @sapphire-rising-sun​, @stitchkiss​ All of you are so f*cking amazing and I heart you all so much. 💜 I really, really hope you all will like my little mer!Theo and I really hope I will be seeing you again when I post the first chapter to the story in the next few weeks. 💜 Ya’ll . 😘 ✌️💜🌈

He squinted his eyes open to the first grey light of dawn and the dark face of a person looming above him.

“What happened?” Martin whispered, tongue clumsy with cold.

“You were drowning,” the person—man— said, a crease between his inky eyebrows, his voice deep and soft. This time it came from his mouth instead from inside Martin’s head.

———

Martin is a hopelessly forlorn Victorian gentleman. Jon is the slightly too inquisitive Archivist of the Queen of the North Sea. Around them, an occult conspiracy is brewing involving humans and merfolk alike.

Soon they are not only fighting to save each other, but also to avert the rise of dark powers beyond their comprehension…

The desaturated square could mean desaturated colours but that's my regular palette so... i chose to interpret it as black and white.

How to make you understand by Cadameo

Summary: Katsuki had a spear over his head, ready to protect his tribe from the unknown trespasser but all his fighting was stripped of his body when green scales and a blinding smile waved in his direction. He can't understand a word said to him but in his heart, he already knows he would mimic his way through the seven seas if it meant having Deku by his side.

Izuku calls himself a traveler, but that's as much as he can convey to a red-eyed blond mer that doesn't speak his language and gives him pretty gifts.

angler and angel by mimocha

Summary: “Anglerfish! You- You’re an anglerfish!”

Said anglerfish mer pauses like he’s surprised to hear Izuku’s voice addressing him. He rises from his crouched position slowly, piercing vermillion eyes meeting Izuku’s shiny viridian ones.

He stares at him curiously as he asks, “I’m aware. And you’re an angelfish. Fuck are you doing, still hanging around here? Are you trying to be eaten?”

The Reefer and the Shark by red_emerald

Summary: A school of fish rippled over Izuku like a glittering silver cloud. Delighted, he spun in place to feel the ribbons of current they made, and when the school cleared he came to a laughing stop — and froze, because there was a shark person floating a few short fin-strokes away, staring at him. He seemed just as surprised as Izuku.

They regarded each other in stunned silence.

--------

In which Izuku, a fragile reef dweller, meets Katsuki, a great white shark.
