Corpse sighed as he lays on the cold and wet floor of the cave he found earlier that day while looking for a place to stay out of the birthday beach party. It was getting too crowdy for his taste.

Don't get him wrong, he'd love nothing more than to celebrate Poki's birthday along with the others, his friend deserved a fun and happy time but with his phobia? He doesn't do well with parties. Especially one that has a lot of people invited. The thought of being around so many people at once makes his skin crawl, so after a quick excuse, he left the party and walked around the beach, eventually finding the cave in which he is currently laying in.

A growl of frustration left his mouth as the sinking feeling won't leave his chest. He usually loves being alone, just him and his sometimes not so nice thoughts. But right now?

He feels so fucking lonely.

It feels like he can't stand being alone now but at the same time, the thought of going back to the party full of too many people partying scares the shit out of him.

My heart is pierced by Cupid

I disdain all glittering gold

A sudden soothing voice echoed from further into the cave, passing into his ears and swirling in his head, calming the previous tormenting feeling in his chest.

Who was that?

With his silent desperation for company, Corpse couldn't resist the temptation and curiosity to find out where that voice comes from. Standing up from his place, he ventured into the dark cave, the echoes of the voice and the small moon light from outside as his only guide. He hopes he wouldn't misstep and fall into the pool at the end of the cave, it looked pretty deep when he found it earlier that day.

The echoes of the voice stopped but even with the deafening silence, he marched on, determined to see who was blessed with such an angelic voice. He felt his hand slip on the sharp rock that he was gripping but he felt no pain, the sting wasn't there even as he can barely see the shine of the blood dripping from the wound on his palm. He decided to ignore the injury for now, he can just treat it once he gets back to the beach house later.

Steadying his feet on the rocky and slippery ground, he looked up and couldn't stop the gasp that left his mouth. Was this real? Or did he actually slip earlier and hit his head hard enough that he's hallucinating? To be honest, the latter seems more logical and believable for him because there is no way this could be real.

Lounging on the raised platform in the middle of the pool was the most gorgeous person (creature?) he has ever seen. Silky short/long (hair color) locks, piercing (eye color) eyes that seems to glow brightly in the dimly lit cave, smooth (skin color) skin that are devoid of scars, and a glistening (tail color) tail, half of it still submerged in the dark waters, gently swaying as the merfolk was completely relaxed.

Corpse has heard of the legends of the beach, hell, he even narrated a story all about it once in his channel! He didn't expect it to be true-

"Oh? What brings you to my little nest? It has been many moons since I've seen a human venture in here."

The same soothing voice came from the creature, yet their mouth didn't move. Their lips still in the same inviting soft smile, eyes watching his every move. Their voice seems to echo in his head and that should have triggered something in him! His anxiety, his flight/fight response, anything! But for once, they're quiet. And Corpse honestly doesn't know if that's a good or bad thing.

"Would you continue your song?" he's surprised at how steady his voice sounded, with how dazed he feels at the moment, he was pretty sure he would've slurred his words. A gentle laugh left the creature's mouth, their eyes glinting with amusement. They like this human.

"For you, little one, I will. If you'll take off your mask"

Corpse did so immediately, practically ripping the mask off his face and throwing it in the pool. The merfolk let out another melodic laugh, pleased at how eager the human was at hearing their voice.

There is nothing can console me

But my jolly sailor bold

At the last note, they reached out their hand towards the awe-struck humans. Corpse observed the hand, it was smooth and fragile looking. Their nails were sharp and dark. It didn't scare him, like nothing about this whole scenario was scaring him.

Without any further hesitation, he reached out and-

"Where's Corpse? Has he been found yet?" Valkyrae, or Rae for short, read out loud. She was streaming at the moment, playing Valorant alongside her friends and having a good time.

Well, trying to have a good time.

"No, he still hasn't been found yet. It was a hard search, we have no clue on where he could be other than his mask that we found in the cave somewhere on the beach." She sadly explained, her heart breaking as some of her missing friend's fans showed their despair in her chat.

She understood how they feel. Of course she does, the man was her best friend for goodness' sake!

She can still the moment they realized he was missing so vividly, it's been months since then but it feels like it just happened yesterday. She remembered Sykkuno desperately asking her for confirmation that Corpse has just fallen asleep in the beach but her silence answered him. She remembered how Toast never stopped trying to call his cellphone that day, only to find his phone dead inside his bag that was left in their room.

Randomuser: there is a legend in that beach yk, that a mermaid lives in that same cave and if it likes you, itll take you with it

Rae sighed as she silently read that comment, she and her friends has been getting those comments a lot ever since the announcement of Corpse going missing was posted. She didn't believe it, it sounded absurd! A mermaid, really? It's just a stupid urban legend that in no logical way can be true!

...right?

A/N: Hello! Thank you for reading this! I actually got invested to this request and I'm wondering, would you guys like to see this as a fic? Just a 3-5 chapters long fic?

madi i gotta say i admire your dedication to dte SO much and i cant wait to see it finish, so i had to ask cuz idk if anyone else has, but do you have any tips for writing long fanfics like this?

thanks! i love questions about dte/fic omgomgomg.

tOOO BE HONEST...... multi-chapters are NOT my thing. i tried writing three before this and abandoned ALL of them. i am a grade-a ENFP who starts a million projects and then just kinda lives in their unfinished remains. when i wrote DTE’s first chapter, i was not committed to finishing it. i was so horrendously apathetic about a story id wanted to tell for ages, knowing myself and knowing it would probably never see an end.

it being the opposite of that was... a surprise. a lot of what helped ME was having a co-author. way harder to back down from a project when u have someone to really let down, and when that person is ur best friend who you see in person on the reg. beyond that....

take it seriously? like listen. not trying to self-deprecate, but my writing is basic AF. kids half my age can turn a phrase better than me. sometimes my writing consists of “he picked it up. it was cool in his hands, and he smiled.” like the simplest shit you can imagine. but i think what really keeps me going is that i’ve internalized the idea that i am creating something big and great. i take my writing as seriously as i would critique a show i really love. i view it not as something i’m doing for funsies, but as a story i want to tell and tell correctly. 

like, ven will propose an idea, i’ll say “i like that, but what does it offer?” i’m constantly asking questions about plot points and character actions. just always, always asking questions. “i think we can do this part better if we change it.” ven and i have gotten into full on debates about how characters would react to things. there is one chapter of DTE that we have (constructively) argued about a total of three times. as if we weren’t the people writing it, but fans debating about a writing choice. i don’t know how well i’m explaining it, but i think there’s a lot to be said for not minimizing what you’re doing. you are writing a novel. just because you borrowed someone else’s characters doesn’t mean it’s any less impressive.

plan shit out! i have a separate word document where every single chapter is organized by region. i have bullet points with the general plot for each of those chapters. even if you just make a timeline of events you want to happen, plan it! i also have a separate word document for scenes i HAVE to include that could go anywhere, so i make sure i get to the very end and don’t regret leaving something important out. when the story calls for it, ill just drop one in.

get to know your characters intimately. even if you are made of pure, raw autism like i am and store a metric shitton of trivia in your brain, make yourself a series bible! find a writing meme and fill it out about your characters! write down their fears, their insecurities, what they love more than anything, what it would take to break them, everything you can envision. once you REALLY know them, it becomes a lot easier to think about how they’d react to certain situations.

pace yourself. do you hear that? its the sound of my words turning into a physical boomerang and piercing my yielding flesh, because BOY is this hypocritical advice. but do as i say, not as i do. remember you’re writing a goddamn novel. if you take your time, itll be a lot nicer, and i think you’ll feel a lot better about the work you do put out. 

keep going. even if you feel your writing has dipped in quality, even if you dislike a chapter more than the last. we go through cycles of motivation and inspiration and output and that is okay and human nature. don’t let a lack of reviews or a sudden uncertainty in your work stop you from making more good art. keep going. as long as the idea of having a finished story makes your heart feel full, keep going.
