Tagged by @frostbitebakery @hawthornsword and @elismor thank you!! Since it's been so long I'm no-pressure tagging you all back <3

As usual I'm posting more than one line because it's fun :D this is an excerpt from my New England Fisherman!Cody x Merman!Obi-Wan WIP that I'm working on for @codywanfirstkissbingo

CW for drowning/near-death experience (he's fine though I promise)

Cody always knew this could be his end, but he really didn’t think it would be today— no one ever does, he supposes. He gives one last, fitful effort to swim back up towards the seeping light of the waterline, but he already knows it’s useless. His limbs are too heavy and weak, his lungs too full of salty, bitter water. The panic, the shock, has somehow abated him as he waits for his end. It’s likely why he doesn’t react when a face— a man— suddenly appears in front of him. A final delusion, perhaps, from his oxygen-deprived brain. Even through his increasingly blurry vision, Cody knows he doesn’t recognize this face, but does know he’s beautiful— glowing blue eyes that border on inhuman, auburn hair that floats around his face in a halo. He’d rather a manifestation of one of his brothers, perhaps, but it’s a nice final vision for his addled mind to conjure, as far as these things go. “Forgive me,” the man says, and Cody is only able to vaguely wonder how a voice can sound so clear this deep underwater, when the man is— kissing him. Cody’s eyes widen, gasping into the other man’s mouth, unable to process how he’s gasping at all, breathing sweet relief between this beautiful man’s lips— Such soft lips is his last, absurd thought before darkness finally takes him.

I would be so excited if you'd get around to writing the merman au at some point and I'll be looking forward to the headcanons. I kinda see Aegon as the merman who'd flaunt his pink scales (love that btw) for Jace, shamelessly flirting with him despite the language barrier, while Aemond is more easily spooked and shyer with Luke. Also, the image of Jace getting a big assortment of sushi while wondering if he's going crazy and sharing them with Aegon on the side of his tub is sending me

Oh, totally! Aegon would flutter his pink tail fins at Jace and compliment him on his pretty freckled nose (yes, I'm giving him freckles here). Jace wouldn't understand a word, of course. But that tail is so beautiful. And he wants to touch it to see if it’s real or if he's hallucinating. Aegon knows a few English words, since he always sneaks out, wanting to escape into the human world. He learnt how to say fish, and he asks for it. Stunned, Jace brings him one, and suddenly, Aegon is flashing him a row of razor sharp teeth and wolfs the whole thing down.

Meanwhile, Aemond hates humans. He lost his eye because of them. He hasn't been to the shore since. When Luke accidentally pulls him out, he's in flight or fight mode, trashing and snarling and trying to hit Luke with his tail despite the ropes he's tangled in. But he just tires himself out. He lies there, panting, his pupil huge as Luke approaches with a knife. He doesn't understand what Luke is mumbling to him (Shh, it's okay, you're okay), but he's gathering all his strength to hit him if he comes close enough.

Fisherman HX

Fisherman HX who finds an injured creature tangled up in an abandoned net. Not only does HX recognize this creature as a merman, but also as the infamous sinker of numerous shady ships.

He decides to help this merman anyway, their wounds look quite severe.

HX: “how bad can he be-?”

HC: [weakly hisses and tries ripping HX’s hands off]

HX: “GAH”

Nevertheless, HC’s wounds are too many and too deep. And he can only defend himself so much while trapped in the net. Eventually, he lets HX pull him up into the boat.

HX can’t believe he’s actually following through with this idiotic plan. He slowly unsheathes his trusty dagger, making sure the merman can see he means no bodily harm, just needs to begin cutting up the net.

This merman can’t seem to understand HX’s words but still gives him the most judgmental looks. Especially when they’re back in HX’s cottage, the human attempting to apply ointment to the bleeding scratches on his back, and some gashes on his tail.

However, the merman’s mobility seems to worsen over the next few hours. HX curses. There must have been poison involved. It would take him a couple days to properly identify it and concoct the appropriate cure. Because of the merman’s mild paralysis, HX literally has to tend to the merman’s whims.

A week goes by. The two have established a somewhat friendly relationship. And as it turns out, HC can understand human tongue

HC: “you fuckin’ loser”

HX, getting whiplash: “exCUSE ME!?”

HX decides to bring HC on his next fishing trip. The merman’s condition has improved enough. Plus, if HC can communicate with him, he should be able to offer advice on how to catch more fish to sell in the next market.

So here HX is, patiently waiting for the telling wiggling of his small nets below. HC is splayed out on the other end of the boat, chilling and ultimately making HX’s life harder.

It doesn’t get more exciting than this-

SPLASH!

A body shoots out of the water and yoinks HX overboard. The creature drags HX beneath the surface, constricting his limbs and going for his neck.

A series of aggressive clicks echoes underwater.

HX: [so this is how i die?]

One second, HX is being drowned by what is clearly another merman, the next moment he’s somehow back above the surface and gasping for air.

HC now insistently clicks at the other merman, who squawks then hisses as he brandishes HX’s limp body like a ragdoll.

HX: “Whasss goin’ on?”

HC: “Shut up, don’t say anything.”

He chirps one last time to the other merman.

***

HC beckons his mate closer, speaking in merman tongue.

“Love, let the human go. He saved me.”

Floating next to the boat, XL bares his teeth, his expression one of disbelief.

“Are you sure? I can still drown him if you want. He’s just a human,” XL says, still half-strangling HX.

Centuries ago, XL’s pod was brutally attacked by pirates. As an adventurous, young merman, XL had swam too close to the surface, consequently leading the pirates to his podmates. A few survived, but XL never forgets.

He will never let his vendetta against humans go.

Funny how things work out.

While XL was born a merman, HC was turned by XL when they mated. This explains why HC knows human tongue and has a better understanding of human behavior. It also helps him sink even the most advanced ships.

XL and HC started off extremely hostile, HC a merchant who sailed the waters XL resided in. HC even has a scar from their first meeting, which he jokes that it’s a love bite or something. HC always wore tough clothing so XL’s jaws couldn’t pierce through.

Feisty XL hadn’t hesitated to chomp HC multiple times.

Alas, the fates had plans for them. Over the course of five years, the merman and human fell deeply in love. HC had then offered his life for XL’s to have, and the decision to mate was made.

The transformation process is a difficult one, and has a very low chance of survival. It involves dark ancient magic; a ritual consisting of feeding from human flesh for one week straight; then drowning until near death before being saved with a kiss from a merman.

When HC’s two legs took the form of a beautiful, massive, crimson and black tail, the pair had lovingly intertwined tails while wrapping their arms around each other.

Many, many eras have come and went. XL taught HC the merman ways from how to swim at incredible speeds to how to avoid humans and the violence they bring.

The mated pair have been together since, swimming beneath the ocean’s surface, inseparable.

Now, XL has successfully stalked the human that took his mate. He doesn’t understand human tongue, and is prepared to slaughter this human and offer the flesh for HC to devour to recover.

Fortunately, HC explains the situation, and HX’s life is spared.

HC: “He’s honestly not that bad.”

XL: “...did you misbehave while you were with him?”

HC: “Not a single eating utensil left, water everywhere on his floors, and I managed to break his… he said teevee?”

XL, purring: “That’s my boy. ”

HX is still held in the feisty merman’s clutches. After a snickering string of clicks from the new merman, HX questions: “What is he saying?”

“Oh, he says thank you for helping me,” HC answers.

What XL actually said: “Why is his haircut so ugly?”

Soon enough, XL hoists himself up into HX’s boat. He deposits HX on the floor, then wiggles over to HC.

“Missed you,” XL says, petting his mate’s hair. HC responds by nuzzling his forehead against XL’s.

HX lays on his back, staring up at the sky. He now has two merman cuddling in his boat, and exactly zero fish have been caught.

“Why am I here?”

A few days later, XL approaches HX’s boat again and actually does offer human flesh for HC. HX gags and looks away as HC happily tears into the gory flesh.

I need you to elaborate more on the merman au! 🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦

girl I’m still reeling from merman art you posted yesterday!!!

okay so here’s what I have so far!

mikasa is the daughter of a poor fisherman who collects sea shells by the shore to help her family out financially a bit. eren is part of a noble family among merfolk and he’s an absolute shitbag. he gets cast out for being a nuisance but also being caught trying to mate with a prominent noble merman’s sister.

he’s exiled to the waters just off the coast when he sees mikasa just outside one of the coves, collecting broken sea shells and thinks she’s the loveliest creature to have ever existed.

from then on he tries doing anything to catch her attention, splashing around, making waves, pretty much everything but swimming up to her

then one day, completely unaware that this isn’t how betrothal customs work among humans, he makes her a necklace made out of sea shells and leaves it on a rock. she finds and it’s so beautiful that she keeps it. in the tradition of merfolk, it’s the equivalent of accepting a marriage proposal/desire to mate.

so finally mikasa is decides to take a swim in the ocean and eren decides to take this opportunity to reveal himself to her and he does it swimming up and rubbing his fins against her legs slowly. so she thinks it’s a shark. naturally she freaks out and struggles and he grabs a hold of her legs which causes her to panic more and he pushes her into a nearby cove where she sees him for the first time.

she’s shocked and he starts talking to her and she’s so out of it but he reassures her that as her mate, he’d never harm her. he adds that mating is more powerful than marriage because it’s not a contract that can be broken. their spirits are forever intertwined. laying it on real thick. and she’s freaking out.

she still starts meeting him every day and soon she’s falling for him as well

then her marriage is arranged to a local nobleman who saw her at the market and was smitten. meanwhile eren’s exile is cut short when his brother comes looking for him

helplessness and all blah blah, they decide to mate. insert sex via the tongue looking dick and mikasa realizing how much better mer-dick is than human dick

that’s where I got stuck and obviously mikasa takes time to accept what eren said. she probably freaks out and tries to leave but eren’s holding her still and saying she can’t leave so she’s forced to hear him out.

also what happens after is either they reunite and escape OR they’re forced to separate and the mating ritual was very fruitful if you know what I mean 😉😉😉

OMG but imagine if it was shark mer Kanan and fisherman Ezra 😭

Flrghablrghurghbrlgflg an AU of an AU of an AU 😵 but so many things to do with it! Like

Young fisherman-in-training Ezra cutting Shark Kanan out of his net when he gets caught in it and the two becoming fast friends

Or fisherman Ezra who returns home after his estranged father dies to keep the lighthouse like his parents did and discovers that there’s a secret to the rocky little island: it’s also the territory of a rogue shark—but not just any shark: a shark man…

Or fisherman Ezra getting a job delivering bait fish to a top-secret marine research facility and discovering a sad lonely Shark Kanan floating in a tank, and they form a bond and fall in love and yes this is totally The Shape of Water sue me

Or Ezra lost at sea in an inflatable raft after his fishing boat sinks in a storm, but an unlikely savior comes to his rescue (Shark Kanan), who brings Ezra fish to eat and protects him from his wild kin and guides him back to land

Or Ezra saving Shark Kanan from death at the hands of his barbaric crewmates (insert Imperial scumbag characters here), who later have their fill of Ezra’s bleeding heart and cut him up so he’s got open wounds and toss him into shark-infested waters—this would be a good Pirate AU—but then Kanan shows up and returns the favor by saving Ezra and ferrying him to a secret island inhabited by merfolk, who then rise up against the pirates who mistreated Ezra by attacking their ship and sinking it and everyone lives happily ever after

ANON WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SEND THIS ASK MY BRAIN IS ON FIRE 🔥🧯

omg PLEASE may i have a snippet from the Fisherman!Cody x Merman! Obi-Wan? 👀🙏

Yes you absolutely can, thank you so much Shevek <3

As context for this, an idea I've been toying around with for this AU is that yes Cody was saved by Obi-Wan's kiss of life, but perhaps he came back a little bit wrong and a little less human...

Cody comes awake with a violent start, choking on his own breath. He gasps, wheezes, lungs filling and filling and yet he still feels like he can’t breathe— Like a man possessed, he throws aside his blankets and makes for the door. He doesn’t bother with shoes or a jacket as he runs out of his room and out of the house entirely, too overcome with such a single-minded focus, a desperate and sudden need that’s beyond all logic— It’s not the first time he’s woken up like this recently, with stuttering breath and a blind panic, but it’s the first time it’s been quite so desperate. A few nights ago he spent an hour in the shower and that was fine enough, but this, somehow, he knows is different. It’s this base, instinctual urge he cannot explain even to himself— even less so, that it’s always accompanied by the memory-not-memory of wide, shocking blue eyes and the faint impression of soft lips on his own— an image as compelling as it is confounding. But he doesn't let himself think on it, just acts, as his feet carry him down the uneven pavement in the cold dead of night. His muscles burn with it, the act itself not exhausting but rather the way he’s still gasping over every breath, chest clenching and seizing and yet he forces himself on, forces himself to keep running as the pavement turns to coarse sand between his toes, before it shifts to something wet and thick and still he trudges, feeling nothing but sweet, aching solace as the waves rise and rise around him, swallowing him whole. It’s only then, when he’s completely and utterly submerged in the sea, that he can finally breathe.

so . i did something ^}*#*}*%+%

(more parts might come and if that happens this post will be the masterlist)

ramble ⏬

so . ok here goes nothing. first things first.

this is like the “fisherman meets mermaid and they are in love” AU trope but jamil isnt a fisherman: he pretty much retained his canon life, aka he is a servant and one day he found a merman and he just hangs around him to escape from his shitty life situation (and the merman is completey enamoured).

so, apart of NRC not happening, more details about the canon divergence should be revealed at a later date

thiat is the info about the au out of the way. ill just do personal rambling here esp bevause im insecure about some things about this so you can stop reading if you want.

this is a trope ive seen around a lot, especially on twitter, so ive had this idea since a bunch of months ago. i then proceeded to forget about it until i saw a twitter post about this same exact trope again except it was with fucking miguel o’hara but thats besides the point. the original post that made me get the idea were 2 ocs (they had the blood-cut-to-call-merman idea. I completely stole it from that. im coming clean) and i was like “wow do you know who else is a mermaid? azul fucking ashengrotto”

ok so no the art style i used. i started using it really recently to doodle stuff, since 2 days ago actually im so serious. i tried using it here as well bevause its an easy art style, really quick to draw with it and also looks good. or so i thought. because im now having doubts about wether it looks good or not and i fear it might just look weird. i kinda wanna hear if people prefer this art style or my “actual” one from my other posts

this style looked way better when i used it to doodle stuff, but i dont think im capable of using it in comic format. the style i was going for is mostly evident in the colored “poster” because ive actually redrawn the comic sequence a bunch of times so the style was lost there. I do like how the “poster” looks but im not sure if y’all would agree so id love to hear wyt

now the biggest part. ive never made comics in my life!! so these are going to look so damn akward. u can already notice it here!!!!! crowd starts booing

also i cant draw water and also i dont know how to draw azuls octo patterns bc the material we have of his design are so vague and fragmented but his patterns are not easy to draw so im struggling and i need to make a reference of him for myself 😭😭

#what…. tag do i give this au?#it doesnt even have a name #i genuinely have no idea but ill have to add a tag for this au later #azujami mermaid au??? that sounds lame #suggestions r apprecieated #twst #twisted wonderland #u can tell im fucking sturggling #azujami #jamiazu #ashenviper #azul ashengrotto #jamil viper #art tag #posting this and throwing my phone across the room and never picking it up again for the next 48 hours

ghoap au where Soap’s a merman whose folklore precedes any proof to his existence and Ghost’s a fisherman just trying to get by. he’s painfully lonely, always out at sea with clicking fish and the belch of underwater tsunamis (which is like the Aztec Death Whistle for him - so grating) to join him. he wrings himself tired every day with strenuous exercise for a measly pay and an inconsiderate boss. he doesn’t see his “career” ripening into anything more the same way the ocean’s horizon is always prose-like and mundane. monotone. one day, however, while he’s out on the ocean and all alone, when the water starts to ripple like dancers in petticoats, Ghost spots something beneath the water. something iridescent, something large. something that wrestles against the nylon of his fishing net but calms down after Ghost threatens to “gut it like a fish”. something that just barely fits in his rust-eaten bathtub back at his flat. something that flutters its gills in fear every time he comes home. something that sounds like music when it cries. Ghost decides to keep for himself, as a treat. his pretty patchwork of half-fish and half-man. eyes as blue as bioluminescence, hair as silky as seafoam. maybe Ghost’s not so lonely after all.

You said Merman!Aemond and my trash mind immediately went shape of water funky merdick 👀

😅😅 I mean... That's certainly an interesting thought... 👀 It would undoubtedly come up at one point, knowing Lucemond!

But I'm still stuck on imagining Aemond's beautiful hair floating in the water, the iridescent scales of his tail as the light catches on them and makes them glitter, his lilac eye glowing underwater...

Or Luke's tan arms as he tries to calm the trashing creature he has just pulled out of the sea, his brown curls windswept and smelling like sunshine, his hands warm on Aemond's cold, damp skin...

And their first words to each other, Aemond hissing Who are you? in a language Luke doesn’t understand, and all Luke can do is gape, What are you?

#lucemond #aemond targaryen #aemond x lucerys #lucerys velaryon #merman au #merman!aemond #fisherman!luke #you guys are going to rope me into writing this aren't you #i have soooooo many ideas ❤️‍🔥#merman-au
