“My Little Treasure”
Pairing - Pirate!Eclipse X SeaMonster!Reader
Word Count - 356
Oneshot is based off an AU by the lovely @bones-of-a-rabbit, who made the below art. I’m absolutely obsessed with their AUs, check them out.
PS: The Little Mermaid gets referenced in this story, I’m referring to the original story by Hans Christian Andersen since it fits the story better and also because I didn’t know how to have them watch a Disney animated movie on a Pirate Ship because I’m a fraud.
Enjoy and please send some oneshot requests so I have content to steal create :D

“Clipse?”
“Yes, my little treasure?”
Eclipse puts down the dust-coated map he had been studying, carefully placing it on a wooden table decorated with various stolen goods and weapons.
“Can ask you a question?”
Eclipse walks over carefully, draping himself over the large armchair his darling was seated at.
“Anything, my sea star.”
“Would you love me more if I was still a Selkie?”
Eclipse froze slightly from the sudden question, he knew that his beloved was very conscious of their monstrous appearance but this was still quite out of the blue. He gently picked them off the armchair, sliding himself onto the chair with them on his lap.
“Now where would you get such a silly idea, treasure?”
“This.”
His love pointed towards a page on the book they had been reading, the Little Mermaid, as Eclipse had suggested to them earlier. Eclipse gently plucked the book out of their hands, examining the page. The page was torn and was a horrid shade of yellow, but the text was still legible.
“Mermaid is so beautiful, yet Prince does not marry her. If I am a monster, how do you like me?”
Eclipse's heart ached at the thought, bringing his precious closer to him. He put the book aside on a nearby table, holding them close.
“My treasure, I love you no matter what. I’m not like some snobbish prince, who just chooses the prettiest one. I love you for who you are.”
His beloved chuckled at the playful insult towards the prince, sending butterflies into Eclipse’s stomach. God, what he would do to see them happy. He caressed their cheek, bringing them in for a kiss.
“You’re beautiful, love.”
His darling smiled happily, leaning into his embrace. Eclipse chuckles, wrapping his arms around them as the room turned so silent, the only noise was the tides of the sea and squabbling crew members above on the deck.
“There’s still some time before we reach McDonough Island for our next plunder, you want to lie in bed with me? I can’t imagine this old chair being too comfortable.”
You’d like that.
You’d like that very much.

Pov: you jumped on the wrong damn ship, pal'
Aka a fanart of @bones-of-a-rabbit Sea Monster au that I absolutely love and go bonkers over
Basically Eclipse is a pirate and y/n is a selkie-turned-sea-monster and they are lovely together
(I know the sea monster technically has purplish eyes I just really like yellow eyes. Might still change this design altogether later)
I tried to keep Babbit's design of Eclipse but golly gee do they make it look easier to draw this guy than it actually is
Anyway I love Bones of a Rabbit aus with my whole entire heart. It's the softest, fluffiest thingies in the world that manages to be cute and lovely even when it's just angst being shoved in my face
Shout-out to one of my favorite artists go check em out ♡

The Black Jackalope of Inlé!
This guy started out as a resin piece of faux taxidermy wall art sold at Tractor Supply back around Christmas. Really cool sculpt but it was begging to be Watership Down-ified! I gave him a new paint job and added some bone armor/ornamentation which consists of a real rabbit skull and lots of real rabbit bones, all painted black and dry-brushed with metallic gold. All of the largest bones are secured with metal posts drilled into the resin in addition to adhesive to give them extra stability.
This fellow is currently available in my Etsy shop!
