i'm plagued by like a terrible crystal clear idea for an AU that I'll never write and would need way more context to be Anything but is still evocative enough to make me go oughhhhh I Want it.

#the au is like semi-modern Fantastical but not Fantasy #with fisherman Laios living in a seaside town with Falin and daydreaming about the mysteries of the deep #and. selkie Kabru. who hides his seal skin and sneaks onto land to study people. #and Laios is not miserable but he's a little sad and a little melancholy and old enough that he knows he should be accepting that this is i #this is his life. its not so bad. he and Falin are getting by. they were able to leave home. they have jobs and a place to live #and food on the table #but you know he still has dreams of finding something magical to sweep him off his feet. feels a little guilty of how much he longs for it. #and then there's Kabru who is infinitely curious about the Surface World like he's full Ariel Mode running away from home #doing Dangerous Things because he wants to know more #and he's clever and funny and interested in Laios for some reason??? and he's BEAUTIFUL #and then there are layers of secrets and Laios has ya know his Fisherman Depression #but like they are pulled into each other's worlds #man like I DONT EVEN GO *THAT* HARD FOR LAIOS/KABRU BUT THIS JUST. ITS LODGED IN MY HEAD CURRENTLY
