ᴄᴜʀɪᴏᴜs ᴄʀᴇᴀᴛᴜʀᴇ
Warning/s: (???)
Prompt given by: @kayla-crazy-stuffs
Taglist: @da3dm, @gt-mcyt
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
"Let's get this vacation going!" Sapnap whooped as he closed the car trunk, now looking at Karl. "You're just lucky I could bring a plus one into this trip," He chuckled, "The agency still expects me to take photos of the wildlife and landscape there." He implied.
Sapnap rolled his eyes as he and Karl hopped into the car. The shorter brunette turned on the engine and shortly after started driving. The entire car ride was filled with jokes and casual conversations between the two until they arrived at their beachfront hotel.
The two began to unload the trunk and settle themselves into the hotel.
"Yo Karl, there's this place down by the board walk we can go diving," Sapnap began while snickering. "Apparently, there's been sightings of sea monsters there~" He chuckled, Karl rolled his eyes at his friend's antics.
"There's a coral reef there, right? I can take some photographs there for work." The taller smiled as he grabbed his camera, "Alright then, let's go!" The shorter brunette cheered as he walked to leave the hotel room.
The duo were now standing on a boat in their diving gear with a worker, "Those oxygen tanks will last around forty-five minutes, so come back after you're done exploring. I'll be here on the boat waiting for you guys!" The man explained as he made sure the oxygen tanks were fine.
Sapnap was the first to fall into the ocean with Karl following shortly after, fish swam around minding their own business as the two human's gazed in awe at the reef in front of them. The taller was pulling out his camera and taking a few professional and goofy photos.
Sapnap was playing around watching the small sea creatures crawling and swimming around. Even mentally snickering to himself as he toyed around with the fishes.
Thirty minutes in Karl signalled for Sapnap to follow him to the surface which the other nodded to, once the two resurfaced the taller was the first to hop back onto the boat however Sapnap stayed in the water.
"Sap? Are you still staying in the water?" Karl asked as the worker listened quietly, "There's still a few minutes left. Can yall just come back for me?" Karl turned to look at the guy who gave him a nod. "Alright then." Karl said as he sat himself on the boat.
"Sir, just remember if, in any case, your oxygen tank is low and I'm not here yet, swim to the surface and wait for me." The worker informed the brunette. Sapnap nodded as he watched the boat drive away before he dived back down.
What surprised Sapnap was a cliff just at the edge of the coral reef that he didn't notice before. He curiously swam closer as he inspected the cliff. He was captivated by the beauty of the ocean life around him that he didn't notice time flying by.
He suddenly noticed a beeping red light and a timer on the side, two minutes, Sapnap panicked as he quickly tried swimming up, but he was quickly pulled back. He scrambled to look what was holding him back. Seaweed was wrapped around his leg with rocks, keeping him from moving.
The brunette rushed to pull his legs, yet it seemed to only tighten the hold. He started to breathe heavily, which only worsened his situation. He could feel his oxygen diminish as he vision fogged up. He was on the verge of passing out before hearing movement in the water. Sapnap gasped as he lost his strength and gave in to passing out.
Sapnap gasped as he coughed out water, the salty liquid burning his eyes. He blinked as he stared around, noticing the dark room(cave?). Only being illuminated with algae. A loud guttural humm caught his attention as he snapped his head to the side, seeing a huge silhouette.
"I've never seen a human up this close. You guys are small!" The creature announced as he brought an arm closer; which startled the brunette. "Oh- sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." The other said.
Sapnap was quiet he was scanning the creature up and down—was this seriously a mermaid- or merman?—Sapnap trembled as he made eye contact with the man.
"Oh! I'm Dream, what about you?" The creature grinned, showing those sharp pearly white teeth. He was unsure whether or not he should answer, yet he stuttered a quick response, "Sapnap..." He mumbled. The creature excitedly grinned, still seemingly astonished at the human in front of him.
"Sap—nap? Seems like an odd name for a human, but it's cool!" The male answered, "Uhm- where—where are we?" Sapnap asked seemingly out of breath, "We're in an underwater cave! I saw you tangled up in some seaweed, and it looked like you needed help, so I plucked you off the seaweed and brought you here." He explained. Sapnap noticed the unusual wording when the creature said 'plucked' instead of untangle, yet when he looked down on his leg, he still saw part of the seaweed wrapped around his leg.
Sapnap nodded as he began to shift his seating to a more comfortable position, now more calm than he was formally. "C-Can you bring me up to the uhm- boardwalk?" The human was hesitant to ask, not wanting to anger the sea creature.
The look on the mermans face looked...disappointed? With a solemn sigh, the creature spoke, "Sure- I suppose I can't really keep you..." Suddenly, Sapnap got picked up with a hand, now having a clear reminder on their size differences. The creature seemed to still as the human scrambled to try to escape, his instincts to tell him to run, run, RUN.
"Woahh~ you fit on my palm!" He said with a grin once again, showing those bright sharp teeth, Sapnap watched the maw that seemed to get closer and closer...
"Oh uhm, yea, you're gonna have to hold your breath so I can bring you up." He told the brunette with a nod. Sapnap's breath shook as he took a deep breath and shut his eyes. He suddenly felt the water slap his face and the grip on himself getting tighter.
It's like earlier...
He chest felt strained, the oxygen in his lungs slowly diminishing, his anxiety was skyrocketing as he felt himself rushing around the water. He hoped he was close to the surface, but for now, his focus was on keeping his mouth and eyes shut.
Suddenly, he felt the world shift and no longer felt water beside his face. He gasped as he felt the tightness in his chest disappear, and he rolled onto the ground. He coughed and spat out water that managed to enter his mouth.
Sapnap turned to look at the creature, his full body almost submerged except for their head, "I have to go- human's aren't even supposed to see me, I hope we see each other again, Sapnap" Dream whispered as he quickly dissappeared under the water.
"Damn, that really just happened?"
Sapnap sighed as he brushed himself, picking himself up to return to the hotel. The sun was setting behind him as it began to hide itself.
Bonus:
"Sapnap!? Oh my god- where have you been!" Karl questioned as he ran to hug the shorter, "Multiple boat's and divers came looking for you!" The taller rambled but the words blurred together in Sapnap's mind as he collapsed onto his bed.
He mumbled a small reply, "...'m f'ne Karl..."
〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️〰️
Yoo, I'm sorry if it's not what you expected. Honestly, I was thinking of making Sap the mer, but bricks short fic made me change my mind😭

If you want a prompt, how about something like safe unaware/accidental noms? Where both pred and prey were unwilling but maybe the pred doesn't even notice? (Or the pred does know but does it on accident while prey is panicking and misunderstanding, but personally that's my second) I just reallllllly like this trope and reallllly wanna read more of it...please?
Wooooo here I gooo!!! :D
Two friends, a giant mer and a human sized naga, there's nothing wrong right? Until your small friend turn out to be too curious... :]
@da3dm :]
TW: Safe/soft/unaware vore, unwilling pred, unwilling prey, digestion mention (kinda; doesn't happen tho)
A sunny day, there was a light breeze in the air and the sound of the waves breaking on the shore, made it a perfect day to rest lying on the sand, under the rays of the sun.
The giant mer was lying on his back on the beach, the vast majority of his tail out of the water, only occasionally getting wet when 'little' waves crashed against it.
His calm and slow breathing showed that the mer was asleep, his mouth slightly open, one of his arms resting on the sand while the other was resting comfortably on his abdomen.
His naga friend was coiled on his own coils watching the green mer rest. His golden tail uncurled a bit as he stretched out. The naga gazed at his friend as he rested, his pale blue eyes widening as he had an idea.
He slid slowly toward the mer's sleeping body, climbing up the arm that lay on the sand to easily climb up to the mer's chest.
Once he was there, he looked up, beginning to climb over Dream's face. He curiously looked at the slightly open mouth of the mer, which was a dark shade of green while his tongue was a light green. He had never noticed it until now.
However, his curiosity didn't last long though as Dream yawned in his sleep, causing Punz to fall straight into his mouth and because of being lying on his back caused him to quickly head for his throat. “D-Dream!!!” It only took a fragment of a second for his head to be swallowed and get into the throat.
The mer choked for a moment before continuing to swallow the naga unconsciously. His hair was plastered against his eyes from the saliva in his throat, and he couldn't push it away as his arms were pressed against his sides.
Punz writhed as he continued down, feeling the end of his tail finally enter the mer's throat.
It wasn't long before the top half of him was ushered into a more open space, the rest of his body following within a few seconds.
He moved toward the walls of his stomach, desperately trying to get his friend's attention. “Dream!!?? Can you hear me!? Get me out of here please!" he yelled at him as he pushed and hit the soft walls.
The sudden movement in his stomach woke Dream up, who yawned in confusion hearing his friend, but unable to see where he was. “Punz..?” He looked around, still unable to see the golden naga.
The movements in his stomach increased and Dream placed a hand on it, feeling the small movements. "Dream! I'm in your stomach! You swallowed me while you were sleeping! Get me out of here please!!!” Hearing this, Dream's eyes widened, beginning to panic as well.
How was it possible that he had eaten his own friend?
He desperately tried to throw him up, he tried many ways but couldn't push Punz up which made him more nervous and made him panic even more.
It always worked for him with some kind of food he didn't like, why did it not work this time? The mer let out an anguished sob as he covered his face with his hands. He didn't want to kill Punz...
A few minutes passed before he felt the naga press against the front of his stomach. "Uh...Dream?" "Yeah!? Are you alright?!" he asked with urgency painted in his voice. "Uh...Yeah...For some reason I'm fine...Dream?"
The mer calmed down for a moment before speaking to his friend. "Tell me..." "You won't have a brood pouch for some reason, right?" he asked curiously. "Uh.. I don't know.. I never thought about that…"
Punz released a relieved sigh, apparently he already knew where he was. His friend hadn't been raised by other mers so he obviously didn't know he had a brood pouch and the reason Punz wasn't turning to mush was because he was surely inside of it.
"Then there's nothing to worry about... Apparently you've always had a brood pouch and having unconsciously swallowed me, your body has noticed that you didn't want to swallow me voluntarily, also not knowing what you were swallowing and put me here. So, for At least we know that I'm going to be fine, and now I'll have to wait for you to know how to get me out of here…" the naga explained calmly.
The mer hummed understanding what his friend was telling him. "But how did I swallow you? I thought you were resting on the sand..." The naga blushed slightly in embarrassment.
"Your mouth just made me curious and when you yawned I fell into it…" Dream let out a small sigh. "Be more careful next time... What a scare we've had…"

Eel
I got inspired by the mer post of shark Dream I made a while back, so now here’s this! Enjoy!
Dream, Sap, and Goggy designs
Karl design
Word Count: 4,180
Warnings: Mentions of death; blood; descriptions of injury
Sapnap was just minding his own business today, curiously prodding at some croppings of a startlingly bright orange coral when something came barreling into his chest with a solid whump that nearly knocked the breath from his gills! Sapnap yelped and jerked back, wanting to get away from the thing, but whatever it was seemed to cling to his skin like freaking glue! 
He hurriedly reached down to shove it away. His eyes widened when his hands met small shoulders, and he looked down more closely, finally catching a glimpse of the thing that seemed to be trying to curl itself around his torso. It was a mer! Albeit, the strangest mer Sapnap had ever seen, but a mer nonetheless. If the remora had to venture a guess, he’d say the mer was some kind of octopus. 
He was about the length of Sapnap’s arm, maybe a little bit shorter. Long, suckered tentacles took up about a third of his body-length, and what seemed to be wide, colorful sails billowed out around the little guy as he wrapped a few of his thin little octopus arms around Sapnap’s sides. Sapnap pulled a face and wriggled when the tiny suckers tickled his skin. The mer had wavy brown hair, and the most terrified expression he’d ever seen!
“Please,” the little mer gasped out, multicolored eyes heartbreakingly wide as he stared imploringly up at Sapnap. The remora’s brow furrowed as the guy seemed to choke on his words. The small mer finally managed to suck in a deep breath, and rushed on. “P-please, please, I-I–there’s something a-after me and I need, I need help–” He seemed to hear something behind him and froze, octopus arms stiffening around Sapnap’s body.
A look of resigned horror crashed over the other mer’s face, and he glanced backwards fearfully. “Oh no, oh n-nononnono no! I’m s-sorry, I’m so so so sorry, I-I’ve just killed us b-both, we-we need to go, w-we need to swim-!” He suddenly shoved against Sapnap’s chest, unsticking all of his arms at once, and tried to shoot away. 
Sapnap tightened his grip around the octopus’s small shoulders, raising his eyebrows with extreme concern. “Hold on, what’s after you? I can help you, just tell me what it is, dude.” The mer only whined, thrashing wildly against Sapnap’s stronger hands. 
With no answer seeming to be forthcoming from the panicked mer, the remora shifted his gaze and scanned around. He could see nothing but the reef around them and long, trailing swathes of green seagrass. There was nothing that he could see that would—Sapnap’s eyes ballooned out when he finally caught sight of the thing after the little mer. Charging straight towards them was a huge-ass fucking moray eel. How the hell had he not noticed the damn thing first!?
Sapnap’s hold on the other mer’s shoulders slackened in his surprise, and the little guy bolted off in a flash! The brush of the current as the octopus fled broke Sapnap from his shock, and he whirled around immediately, darting after the other mer.
He chased after the octopus as he twisted and wove through the reaching coral branches, only having to change course when the little mer dove through gaps smaller than what Sapnap could fit between.
Sapnap was much, much faster than the other mer, though, and quickly caught up to him and kept pace. He glanced back, and was very alarmed to see the eel rapidly gaining on the both of them despite all of the twists and turns it was being led through.
He looked down at the other mer, sucking deep, heaving breaths through his gills. If he didn't do something quick, the eel would catch up and make snacks out of the both of them!
Making a split-second decision, he quickly angled down and wrapped his arms around the smaller mer, trapping him in a hug. The mer screamed, immediately thrashing all of his limbs and trying to struggle free, but Sapnap held him tightly. He was faster, he could swim faster than the octopus mer, at least, maybe he could get them both away safely.
He glanced quickly back and nearly had a heart attack. The eel was closer than before! Sapnap could count each and every one of it’s gnashing, needle-like teeth. Every one of those thrashing incisors was the length of Sapnap’s hand. 
Spurred on by the horrifying sight, Sapnap pumped his tail harder, dodging through a twisted clump of reef as he desperately scanned the surrounding sea for anything he could use to aid in their escape from the monstrous eel. All he could see was coral and sea foliage! There was nothing!
The remora was starting to feel panicked, now. The octopus mer bunched up in his arms was quivering quietly, muttering small, breathless nothings that Sapnap couldn’t hear well enough to discern, but he could make an inference, could make a good guess about what he was saying.
They were both probably about to die to the mindless, greedy gullet of the moray eel.
Sapnap just barely managed to catch a glimpse of a huge flash of yellow-green through the twisting coral that quickly gave way to a flowing swathe of seagrass, and he suddenly felt hope. He knew that shade! He knew those scales! That was Dream! Dream, his huge, goofy friend who was a lemon shark mer. 
"DREAM!" Sapnap screamed out loudly, so loudly that his throat ached, but if he could get the shark’s attention, it would be worth it. Dream could fight anything! If he could just catch his larger friend’s attention, both he and the smaller mer in his arms would probably be safe. Dream could take care of the eel, no problem! It would be an easy task for his bigger friend.
Sapnap sped towards the distant shape of the large lemon shark mer peeking through the waving seagrass as fast as he could. He felt the push of the current against his tail as the eel caught up to them, could hear the rushing swoosh of the eel closing in from behind, as if the horrifying sound was being transmitted directly into his eardrums. Cold, creeping fear was spiking up through his spine. 
He wasn’t going to make it.
"DREAM, PLEASE!" He screamed once more. He was losing steam. His tail was becoming harder and harder to move. He could feel himself slowing down. He was heaving in deep breaths of water, to no avail. 
Hot, sharp pain suddenly flashed through his tail when dozens of needle-like teeth clamped down on his tailfin. Sapnap screeched at the sudden pain, twisting around and trying to writhe away as the eel yanked him closer. He tightened his arms around the shivering form against his chest when the little octopus mer let slip a quiet sob, all the while struggling to hold back his own agonized screaming as the moray seemed to chew his tail between it's jaws. His tailfin felt like it was being torn to shreds! Blazing agony spiked through his bones when he tried to thrash out of the moray’s hold, and he could only fight for a few seconds before the pain forced him to stop.
His tail was useless, Sapnap realized abruptly. He–he couldn’t move it without horrible pain striking through his whole body. 
He was going to die.
With his tail out of commission, there wasn't much Sapnap could do but twitch uselessly through the water. He squeezed his eyes shut, silently apologizing to the little octopus mer that had begged him for help.
Suddenly, a huge rush of a current surged over Sapnap, accompanied by a visceral-sounding snarl, and then the teeth chomping painfully down on his tail were suddenly torn away!
Sapnap flinched when large hands brushed against his back, gently guiding him underbelly-first onto a rough, warm surface. Instinctively, he latched onto it, flexing his ventral-suction fin and attaching himself to whatever it was. He protectively curled his arms further around the trembling octopus mer, shielding him with his body against whatever he was sticking to.
Heavy currents tugged at his back and ravaged tail as the apparent body he was clinging to rushed and twisted around, savage hissing and snarling echoing through the water as the two large creatures fought against each other.
Sapnap peeled his eyes open and saw light, creamy green scales in front of his face. He quickly peered up, and his heart soared at the uplifting sight that greeted him.
It was Dream! Dream was fighting the eel! 
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a flash of blue-grey as his other friend George, a remora mer like himself, darted about, aiding Dream in his battle.
Sapnap's heart lurched up to his throat when the eel viciously snapped at George, but before it could do anything, Dream was in it's face, slashing webbed claws and flashing his huge, razor-sharp teeth at it's long, twisting body.
The water tugged and pulled at his body as the two huge vertebrates thrashed around each other in a deadly dance. He could taste the blood that had started drifting through the water when he breathed in, sparking worry in his chest. Was it his own blood, or George's, or maybe Dream's?
Sapnap continued to cling firmly to Dream’s belly while the shark fought, keeping his arms wrapped securely around the little octopus mer underneath his chest. He could feel the mer’s heart pounding, almost as if it were fighting to rip itself free from his ribcage. 
The little mer twisted in his hold and buried his face in Sapnap's chest with a whimper, curling some of his octopus arms around Sapnap's back and sides once more in a tight, quivering hug.
Sapnap ducked his head down, pressing his face against Dream's warm scales, managing to squeeze in a sharp, strangled breath. His own heart was thrumming viciously with adrenaline, while every movement around him yanked savagely at his injured tail-fin and sent white-hot spikes of agony panging up his body. Sapnap suppressed a whimper, wishing that the fighting would be over soon.
He heard George screech angrily, and then a louder, much more terrifying snarl ripped out from Dream, rumbling beneath Sapnap throughout Dream's chest. Hot worry flooded Sapnap’s mind at the sound of George’s cry. He couldn’t tell if the other remora was alright! The only things Sapnap could see through the blood-clouded water were Dream’s belly scales in front of him and the occasional whipping flash of grey eel skin.
The moray suddenly loomed into view, lunging for Dream’s throat. The shark just barely managed to throw his arm up before the needle-like teeth were clamped around his wrist in a deathly grip. A pained shout burst from Dream's throat, and he reached up with his other hand to grapple at the eel's lithe body.
Blood billowed through the water when Dream finally managed to sink his teeth and claws deep into the moray's long, ribbon-like body. With a gruesome sounding snap-tear, Dream ripped the eel into large, bloody halves that absolutely clouded the water, obscuring Sapnap’s vision and completely clogging his nose with the metallic scent.
Relief flooded the remora's system when Dream cried out triumphantly. The large shark twisted and moved from the blood cloud, easily drifting away from the spreading redness. Dream stared at it for a moment, before he seemed to remember what he was doing.
“Sapnap!” Dream quickly turned his attention down to the small remora clinging to his belly, dropping his hands down to run his claws worriedly along Sapnap’s back, carefully checking for any injuries other than his ragged tail. 
“Sap!” He heard George’s concerned screech right before the other remora crashed into Dream's side, right next to Sapnap. The other remora’s gaze immediately zeroed in on the shaking octopus pressed between Dream and Sapnap’s bodies. His eyes narrowed, but, regardless, he focused his attention on his injured friend.
"Can you swim?" Dream worriedly hovered a webbed hand next to Sapnap's tailfin, unsure of what to do.
The small mer in Sapnap's arms shied away from the sudden appearance of Dream's clawed hand with a whimper, cringing down as the shark whined in concern.
"N-no,"Sapnap hissed, pulling his gaze away from the wound. He felt green and queasy.
The shark hesitantly worried his large, sharp claws over Sapnap’s tattered fin, unwilling to touch anything in case he made it worse. The octopus mer seemed to notice the huge shark’s apprehensive concern, and hesitantly poked his head around Sapnap's arm to peer at the damage, seeming to push past his fear of Dream to look closer at the injured limb.
He sucked in a gasp when he got a full view of the wound. Sapnap's tailfin was riddled with small punctures and long, ragged tears, shredding through the delicate webbing. It looked really, really bad. There was no way the remora would be able to swim with it like that, not unless someone treated the injury.
George's eyes hovered cluelessly over the gruesome wound. "How do I…Dream, what do we do?"
The shark slowly shook his head, staring worriedly down at both remora. "I-I don't know…" Gently, he touched his webbed hands to Sapnap's back and carefully detached his friend from his belly, lifting him closer to his eye-level.
The shark's eyes briefly darted over the still-trembling octopus wrapped around Sapnap's chest, but disregarded him for now. Sapnap was the one who was more obviously hurt, and the one Dream was more worried about.
George flicked his tail, pushing off of Dream's side to rise up to Sapnap's level. The two started fussing over Sapnap's injuries, trying to figure out a possible way to help with the wounds.
The remora in question was determinedly ignoring the pain from his tail, as well as his two friends, and was instead gently nudging at the mer clinging to his body. He didn't think the little guy was injured, but it wouldn't hurt to check.
"Hey," he murmured, lightly moving his hands to the little guy's shoulders. The mer tensed. "Are you hurt?"
A small shake of the mer's head was the best answer he got.
"Do you want to move somewhere else, or something?" Sapnap faltered for a moment, holding back a whimper when George shifted a particularly painful part of his tail, then forced out another sentence. "I-it's fine if you don't, really, I just don't want you to be scared. O-or anything." He hissed again, scrunching his eyes shut for a moment to steady himself through the pain.
The smaller mer shivered at the question, hunching his shoulders underneath the remora's hands and shaking his head. He didn't want to leave the relative safety of the remora's arms. If he did, he would be in easier reach of the shark still hovering above them.
Weren't the two remora worried that the shark would taste the blood still lingering in the water and go on a murderous frenzy? Weren't they worried it would make them all into small, unfulfilling snacks?
"I don't know what else to do," George huffed, invariably drawing Sapnap's attention as he twisted to look up at Dream and the other remora. Dream gave a hopeless shrug, jostling Sapnap in his hands. "I-I don't know? I don't know. Neither do I…" 
"W-we need something to wrap it with," Sapnap muttered, putting more of his focus on the octopus clinging to him. He had glanced at his tail for just a second, but that was just long enough for an overwhelming crash of nausea to wash through him.
"I'll go get some seagrass," George offered quickly, hurriedly darting down to the swathing field of seaweed and hurriedly yanking up some of the long strands. He swam back up to Dream and Sapnap just as quickly, trailing handfuls of the billowy plant behind him.
Sapnap watched the other remora, vaguely noting that George was being oddly helpful in this situation as he and Dream attempted to wrap his tail-fin with the seagrass. Normally he would be complaining and sassing Sapnap out for being dumb enough to get bit, but right now…
It was understandable, though. For George to be worried. Sapnap, himself, was starting to feel a bit woozy. 
The little mer wrapped around his torso suddenly slid off of him and hesitantly drifted down to where Dream and George were struggling with binding his tail.
"H-here, I can help," the smaller mer faltered for a brief moment before moving towards Sapnap's shredded tailfin with an oddly single minded focus, warily keeping an eye on the two bigger mers, but more especially on Dream, the shark.
George gave him a suspicious side-eye but moved over regardless, letting the octopus take over wrapping the wounds.
With his smaller, less clumsy hands, the little octopus had Sapnap's tail secured and wrapped in a flash. It barely even hurt anymore, Sapnap thought. He curiously twitched the fin—Ah! A sharp bolt of fire rocketed up his spine, and he stiffened. No, it still hurt, definitely, yep, it did.
“You won’t be swimming for a long while, Sap,” George promptly informed Sapnap, tearing him from his thoughts as he helped the smaller mer tie off the last of the seagrass bandages. He turned suddenly, staring the other remora down with a stinging glare. “So that means, no swimming,” he hissed sharply, crossing his arms. Sapnap opened his mouth to retort, but was swiftly cut off by Dream.
“No buts, Sapnap,” Dream hummed firmly, drifting a bit closer to loom over his smaller friend. “Until your tail is completely healed, you’re staying on me, got it?”
Sapnap grumbled and griped for a moment before he gave in. “Fiiine,” he groaned, crossing his arms poutily. Dream and George shot each other a triumphant look, making Sapnap’s scowl deepen.
“Alright, c’mon then,” Dream hummed, reaching for Sapnap and curling his webbed hands behind his back and tail. “Where…?” He asked. Sapnap immediately knew what the shark was asking, huffing and rolling his eyes. “I think your shoulder would be good, for now at least.”
Dream nodded and gently lifted the remora to his shoulder, helping Sapnap maneuver around until he could latch onto Dream’s shoulder blade and comfortably rest his arms over his shoulder. The remora sighed, shaking his head and crossing his arms to lay his chin over them.
Dream finally turned back to George and the octopus mer, smiling warmly and reaching a webbed hand out towards the smallest mer.
"Hey, uh-"
The octopus shrieked, whipping around and ducking behind George at Dream's offered claws. Dream's grin faltered. "Oh," the shark pulled his hand back, curling his arms closer to his torso. "You're scared of me…" Dream turned his head away with a slow huff. "...Okay."
The shark mer breathed in quietly. "I was just going to thank you for helping with Sap's tail, but I guess not." He shook his head with another huff and turned to mutter something to Sapnap. George sent the octopus a disapproving glare and moved away, trailing up to get closer to Dream's shoulder to join in on the mumbled conversation.
The octopus mer felt a small pang of guilt at Dream's subdued response. He-he just reacted! He didn't mean to freak out, and he definitely didn't mean to make the shark feel bad! Especially after he went out of his way to save him! 
Nervously making a decision, the small mer moved to apologize.
He drifted forward hesitantly. "N-n-no, wait," he fidgeted with his hands, almost freezing when the three bigger mers turned their gazes on him. "I-I'm sorry, I-I didn't mean to-to run. You-you're just–just really b–big."
The three of them glanced at each other for a moment, before something in the shark's face seemed to change.
"No, it's okay," the shark grinned carefully, keeping his teeth concealed behind his lips, and slowly held his hand back out. "I'm Dream."
The octopus flinched slightly at the proffered claws, then shook himself. "I'm K-Karl." He gently set one of his hands on the first claw he could reach. With a wince, he realized that his entire hand could barely cover the shark's claw tip. Karl hesitantly patted the claw once, then drew his arm back.
He turned his gaze up to his savior, Sapnap, who was lazily tugging at Dream's hair while carefully watching Karl.
"I–I, um," Karl paused, biting at his lip before shaking his head. "Thank you for saving me. I-I'm sorry you got hurt with, with the eel."
Sapnap grimaced. "It will, uh, it'll probably be okay, dude. I'll heal." The remora waved him off with a half twisted grin and released Dream's hair.
Karl chewed his lip again and nodded weightily. Despite the reassurance, guilt still pooled down around the base of his throat. It was technically his fault, but at least there weren't any hard feelings. At least the remora didn’t seem to hate him. 
They all seemed pretty nice, actually. M-maybe…maybe they would let him….no, they wouldn’t, most likely. They’d be like everyone else he’d met, probably, and drive him away. Or they might try to eat him. But Sapnap had saved him. Why would he go through that sort of trouble…? 
Karl vigorously shook his head, dispelling his thoughts. It wouldn’t hurt to try, right…? The worst they would probably do was turn him away. They seemed nice enough. 
Karl took a deep breath and inched forward, lightly clearing his throat and sucking in another steadying breath. He hoped it wouldn’t hurt if he tried.
"Can I–can I stay with you guys?" He hesitantly asked, nervously twisting some of his tentacles together. He–he didn't want to seem ungrateful for their help and overstay his welcome, but–the trio seemed safe. Even the shark was starting to feel somewhat safe.
"I mean, I don't mind," Dream trailed, glancing at his two friends. Sapnap shot Karl a thumbs up with a grin. "I don't either, man. You can hang with us." Karl felt his heart rise.
"Wait," George held up a hand, black goggles gleaming coldly as he scanned Karl up and down. Karl's chest froze. "Why would we take him in? What good will he do us?"
Karl was petrified. He–he didn't have a good reason for them to let him stay! He–they–he didn't have anything to offer! The octopus opened his mouth to say as much, but was cut off by Sapnap.
"Geooorge come on, what's it gonna hurt?" Sapnap whined, waving his arms towards Karl. "He's small, it's not like he'll be a bother."
Karl winced at the remora's words. That was true, even the words seemed harsh. He was small. Even for an octopus mer, he was considered small.
"Hmmm…" George drawled, slowly circling around Karl's back while looking him up and down. Karl hunched his shoulders self-consciously.
"Fine, I guess." The remora finally hummed, floating to a stop by Karl's side. "But," he warned, fins flaring out. "Don't cause any problems, got it?"
Karl nodded fervently. He wouldn't. He would try not to, anyway.
George nodded once and turned back to Dream, obviously dismissing Karl. The other remora shot Karl a grin and a thumbs up, bolstering his spirits a little bit.
Slowly, he drifted after the trio, listening to their chatter. Karl sighed. At least he would be safe? Hopefully? He sucked in a slow breath, and paused. He could still taste blood in the water! 
Concern piqued, he followed the steady scent and tracked it back up to the shark mer. Karl's brow furrowed. The shark! He had been fighting the eel, and he was covered in steadily bleeding bite wounds! Neither of the remora mers seemed to notice, absorbed in idle chatter as they were. He should probably say something, right? He should. He would!
"H-hey," Karl piped quietly. Dream tilted his head suddenly towards the octopus, turning his full attention to him. Karl faltered under the shark's curious gaze, but managed to shake it off and continue.
"You're bleeding too, still," he gestured sharply at Dream's wrist, where the nastiest bite was, as well as the various other bite wounds along Dream's body.
"Dream!" George scolded, twisting up to drift in front of the shark's face. The shark cringed back, already seeming to know what was coming. "Why didn't you say anything?!
Sapnap cracked a grin, watching as George started scolding Dream for being an 'idiot.' Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the octopus mer, Karl, drift a little bit closer to his perch on Dream's shoulder blade. He waved casually at the small mer, letting him know that Sapnap had seen him. The mer's face immediately brightened, and he darted up to Sapnap's level to speak with him.
Sapnap could only grin. His tail still hurt, he still felt a little nauseous, and Dream was still getting chewed out by George, but, he had met a new mer! One who wasn't completely scared of Dream. If nothing else, that was a win for today in Sapnap's book!

The bastard himself XD I wanted to redraw Sun's fins to look more like lionfish fins/wings lol. I didn't really give myself enough room on the initial go around, and I'm a lot more happy with this one.
Anyway, I'm not at home, so I didn't have my nice markers. I made do with highlighters and sharpies--but now I'm all out of the red one, RIP.
Eclipsetale and Leviathantale belong to @skumhuu
Here's my fanfic where I combine these awesome universes--if anyone's interested lol.
Happy Mermay!

Your grandmother had always told you stories of The Guardians and their servants, great beings of untold power that protected your island. They used to be everything to your people. Now, with every fallen elder and new face coming in, they faded to nothing. But you knew. Your grandmother made sure you'd know. You had to honor those memories and old gods. Give one last prayer before the mainland took everything. It was the least you could do.
After all, if you honor, thank, and give; one day, something might just be given back...
One life, for the eternity of another.

When he says it, It's for a reason pt 7
Woo! I already edited it :D
I just didn't like how I wrote the final part so I changed it :]
TW: Safe/soft vore, fearplay, accidental fearplay, intentional fearplay, fear of dying, death mention (doesn't happen) unsafe vore mention (I think that's all)
Everything had been perfectly fine, Sapnap was swimming calmly on his own, until he was roughly grabbed by the waist and lifted many meters into the air.
He let out a yelp, seeing the height at which he was at that moment, clinging against his will to what was grabbing him for fear that he might fall. If he fell into the water from a lower height, he wouldn't be afraid of falling, but at this height, he could kill himself if he did.
He could hear the others yelling in concern for him. He heard a rather sadistic laugh, making him look up, directly at his captor. He froze, his eyes widening as he saw that his captor was a pelican hybrid, who was staring at him with a razor-sharp white-toothed grin.
"I think that I was so lucky that you got away from the group, now I can have an appetizer since you're not much but at least you'll take away my hunger for a while."
Sapnap began to shake, tears beginning to fall down his cheeks. “N-No…! Please..!" The pelican just taunted him and began to lift him up overhead but was stopped by another pelican hybrid that suddenly appeared. “What the fuck!? Let me eat in peace!" The newcomer just shook his head. "Let go of the mer, it's a sensitive being like us, you can't eat him."
The pelican holding Sapnap raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah..? And who says it... You...?" He let out a laugh. “We all know you, loser. Don't play tough for wanting to save a minor life like this." he continued, laughing at the other pelican.
Sapnap frantically looked at both of them, not paying attention to what they were saying, 'It was just a pelican and now I have to deal with two..???! I'm not going to get out of this alive…'
Suddenly, Sapnap was thrown upward when the pelican that had just arrived pushed the one who was holding him, leaving him stunned for a few moments, which he took advantage of to open his mouth wide looking up to catch the little mer.
Sapnap let out a cry as he slammed into the pelican's soft tongue, slithering down to his throat. "No no no no…! W-Wait!” he pleaded to the pelican, but the pelican simply ignored him and swallowed. He closed his eyes hoping it would pass quickly, when he didn't go down his throat.
Instead he found himself in a fairly spacious space, not as spacious as his father's storage but spacious. Could it be that the pelican was having him in his neck pouch? It might be a possibility since even going down to the storage stomach took a few more seconds. He wanted to relax but he couldn't, he didn't know what this pelican was planning to do to him next.
//
"Who do you think you are to take away my aperitif??!!” The other hybrid yelled at him, but Punz didn't answer. He wouldn't answer to someone like him but in this case it was so as not to hurt the ears of the tiny mer that was in his pouch.
The hybrid got tired of yelling at him and pushed him one last time with a growl before flying away. Punz released a soft sigh he didn't know he was holding and began to descend as he pushed the mer out of his pouch.
Once he was close to the water he placed the mer gently in it, letting him go. But as he released the mer, a hand much larger than himself grabbed him, squeezing his arms to his sides and his wings folded painfully against his back. "H-Hey...!"
He gasped as they lifted him up to face a giant face, which looked quite angry… "You... Tried to eat my son... I'm not going to let this pass..." he said without further ado, before bringing him closer to his mouth, which began to open.
Punz began to kick, afraid of what was going to happen to him. “W-Wait..! T-This is a m-misunderstood..!” The giant mer ignored him, shoving the hybrid into his mouth, his head and shoulders being all that was still out of it.
"I swear! I was not going to eat him! Please let me go!" He tried to reason with the mer, but to no avail as he was finally pushed completely into his mouth by the mer's large gray bright tongue.
He tried to beg the mer to let him go but the mer simply tilted his head back and swallowed him, sending the pelican down his throat. Once he entered a soft, open space, he assumed it was the stomach of the mer. He let out a sob, pressing his back against the soft walls, his wings quivering frantically with fear, frightened chirps coming from his throat.
//
Once Bad swallowed the pelican, he moved a little closer to shore, resting his arms on the sand as he placed his head on them. “Bad, are you sure it's a good idea to put him through that? I know that when he swallowed Sapnap you got upset and I assure you that I did too, but it could be resolved by talking, I don't think it was necessary to go that far..." Quackity told him as he approached the mer, Karl following from behind while holding the orange mer.
"I guess...But still, I'll be keeping him in there for a while..." he replied in a serious tone. “Just put yourself in his place for a moment, Bad… If the roles were reversed and you were the one in his situation, what you have done would seem fair to you or in what would be the reverse situation…, what he would have done to you?” George questioned, holding Dream gently.
Bad thought about it for a moment, now being able to hear the frightened chirps of the hybrid, he sighed, knowing that they were right. "Okay, I'll get him out of there..."
He couldn't help but see the smiles on his two sons faces as he said he would get the hybrid out of his storage stomach. ‘Did he really go very far with what he thought would be a short or insignificant punishment?’ Apparently he did…
In no time, the pelican was back up in his throat and into his mouth. He could feel his wings shakily rub against the roof of his mouth. He finally opened his mouth, inserting a couple of fingers to pull the hybrid out of it, but he began to squirm once he was out of his mouth.
He sighed again, placing the pelican on the sand shrinking back to his normal height. The pelican just sat there, shaking and tears streaming down his face, while his wings tried to keep him out of sight.
That was when he saw him better. He noticed his wings, he had seen many pelican hybrids before and knew very well that their wings were beautiful, but this pelican's… were in a terrible state, as if they hadn't had a chance to grow properly… “Hey…”
The pelican flinched as Bad spoke to him, but slowly spread one of his wings to look at the mer which was now his own size. "Look.. Uh.. I'm sorry, I went a bit too far... I promise I didn't mean to hurt you, I was just a little upset by the fact that you swallowed my son…" "I-I guess it's alright…” he replied, carefully pulling both wings away from him.
"What's your name? My name is Bad, the green mer is my son Dream, the one holding him is George, the mer you saved is Sapnap, the human holding him is Karl, and the black-haired one is Quackity.” "And I'm Skeppy!" He continued a light blue mer, leaning on Bad's arm.
"Uh... My name is Punz..." he said quietly. “Would you like to stay with us for a while?” Sapnap asked cheerfully. Punz hesitated for a moment “Uh.. I don't know…” “Come on, it will be fun!” Dream commented as he hugged one of George's fingers with a smile.
“I guess…” Punz replied as he sighed slowly. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I thought. Maybe everything will be fine...

My contribution for mermay! Sapnap and George, who are a pair of remora!
Remora are a type of fish that usually hang with bigger sea creatures, like whales, dolphins, and sharks. (Interestingly enough, what the species of remora is usually dictates what kind of creature they hang with.)
They can stick to the bigger fish with a specialized dorsal fin on the top of their heads that acts like a suction cup that they can control at will! (And yeah, the scale-looking things on Sap and Gogy's bellies is that fin. I just thought it would be weird if it was on their backs, so I put it on their front.)
Remora have a symbiotic relationship with whatever fish they cling to. They clean off any harmful parasites on the other fish's body, and in turn they get protection, faster transportation, and scraps of food.
Now comes Dream!
Tumblr media
Dream is a lemon shark!
Now, among sharks, lemon sharks are the more likely to eat the helpful remora, but that's irrelevant here. (They're also one of the more agressive breeds of shark, which is kinda relevant.) In real life, most sharks actually seem to like remora, cause they help them get rid of itchy parasites, but that's also irrelevant here.
Here, in this world, shark mers are more prideful, more sure that they can take care of themselves. So, they don't really like remora clinging to them, and it's really uncommon to see a shark mer with any remora. (Others, like dolphins and whales, don't really mind the little guys.) So, to the crueler sharks, remora mers are as much of a viable food option as any other sea creature.
Also, lemon sharks are kinda in the mid-range for shark size, but in this one Dream is kinda on the small side. He's not complaining though. It just means he can be more down-to-level with George and Sapnap. When there's a bigger shark around though...well, let's just say that Dream's had his fair share of not-in-his-favor fights to protect his two smaller friends.
I think that's all I have to say, for now, I suppose.
