Brrrr Mermaid AU has been kicked out of the hot seat by Woods Monster AU where Heimdallr is the funky little cryptid instead of Fumi osijgosiejfef

Ok, so scene:

Fumi has a crush on this dude. They don't know each other very well, but Fumi wants to get to know him better. Just as Fumi has the courage to start becoming friends (or maybe just as they're starting to become friends), his crush goes missing and turns up dead in the middle of the woods with signs of an animal attack and traces of something unidentifiable.

The woods have always been a strange place, odd noises and foot prints, inexplicably spooked animals, but Fumi lives just on the edge of them, so while he's aware of its strangeness he's also accustomed to it.

The death had been attributed to a cougar attack, but the childhood summers spent in the woods behind his home made Fumi feel confident that he would recognize the signs of a dangerous predator if any came around. Despite that, Fumi stayed out of the woods for a few weeks out of respect for the dead. If felt strange to walk into a place you knew someone had died, but eventually the bird calls and rustling leaves beckoned Fumi back into the shadowy understory.

[Tired, so I'm not actually writing everything out]

On a walk, the woods go quiet, like a dangerous predator is around. Thinking it's cougars, Fumi decides to turn around and go home

Fumi runs into someone who looks like his crush in the middle of the woods path on his way home (or Person steps out of the brush right as he's about to turn)

The person's just standing there, staring

He looks healthy and very not dead

Is this a ghost?

Person steps toward Fumi, a stick cracks under foot, and Fumi runs home, "screw the cougars, this guy is way past unsettling." (it can snap a stick so clearly not a ghost)

He spots the person through his window later

Shenaniganry happens (Like Fumi throwing a stick out of fear and the person bringing it back like a dog???) and Fumi realizes the person acts like a curious animal (and is always watching his place), which is creepy, but not that harmful (This process would probably take a while)

He spun in place, thinking of what to do.

He eventually decides to try... communicating with it

pthththth Need something that makes Fumi realizes that this person who looks like a person is very much Not a Person

Maybe it shapeshifts in front of him???

maybe....

It shifts into a dog bc people like dogs and Fumi brings it into the house and while exploring, it moves out of Fumi's sight, doesn't realize Fumi is following it and it transforms back to human form to reach something??? [Alt. it doesn't realize there's anything wrong with transforming bc Fumi hasn't run away from its mere presence, unlike the woods animals)]

Alt, after Fumi establishes communication with this person that acts like a curious animal, they come in and..... transform while doing something??? Houses are built with human convenience in mind, so why would it even feel the need to transform???? Become a cat and perch atop the fridge or something to watch Fumi??????? That wouldn't make sense 'cause it can watch Fumi just fine when Fumi's interacting with it. Hmm...

[After realizing it is a creature and not a human and living with it for a while; like maybe 1-2 weeks after realizing it's not dangerous]

He can't just call it by his crush's name, that would be weird and suspicious. The creature doesn't seem all that dangerous... despite it's appearance and unsettling aura. It just seems to... watch.

His eyes scanned the room as he thought. Just as he was about to start spinning, a movie poster caught is eye. It was a Thor one, gifted to him by a friend. The movie hadn't particularly been his favorite, but it had been fun and it seemed a waste for it to just rot away in some closet. On it was Heimdallr, noted in the movie to be "all seeing" with some magical exceptions as well as a watchman. Fumi turned his gaze back to the creature. It definitely wasn't a god, but it seemed apt enough.

"What do you think of Heimdallr?"

#WElfjoiefjwoif I meant to just to a paragraph summarizing #Fumi and Heimdallr #Oc #Woods Monster AU #prose #aiuerghiuerghieug #I am now filled with the intense urge to draw scenes from this au #just moody and mildly creepy #And then caption it something that changes the mood #Like one of Heimdallr just standing over Fumi sleeping #and captioning it “Most creatures are too scared of it to sleep in its vicinity... Fascinating” #aifajeoiragnerf #Draw later
