Mer!Joseph x Reader SFW
Not gonna lie, I wrote this prompt specifically with Joseph in mind, so I just had to do this.
Joseph, your new found, fishy friend, loved to show off, but today he was just a little off his game.
SFW prompt 7: “That was-” “-Incredible? Amazing, spectacular, wonderful, jaw-dropping-” “Something."

       A cool gust of wind blew through the sails of your small ship, pushing you forward. You looked out over the blue horizon, mottled orange and pink with the gradually setting sun. It was beautiful. You had been sailing for some time now and while you were no expert by any means, you had gotten into a routine of going out to just stare at the vast beauty every evening before the sunset.
      Okay, there was one other thing bringing you back.
      A loud, playful splash to your right startled you out of your peace. Turning around to find the source you saw the other thing hanging off the side of your boat. You had guess he made the splash and then booked it to try and spook you. Thank god you were used to it by now.
      “Heyy, (Y/N). Come back to admire these, hmm?” He trod in the water, showing off his muscles by flexing in the stereotypical hero pose that you saw so often.
      “Hi, Joseph,” you chuckled, moving to the side where he was and putting your feet in the water. Joseph was... well, a merman, but also someone that you now considered a friend, regardless of how annoying he was in the beginning. “Catch anything cool?”
      “Aaaah, the human is interested in what I’ve caught today? I’m flattered,” he swam closer to you, hopping up to sit beside you on the sailboat. “I sadly caught nothing. I did, however, fight with a swordfish. It was a ferocious battle that ended in blood in the water.”
      You laughed again. “If it was such a horrible fight, why aren’t you cut up?” His eyes opened up in shock, then he turned away, defeated. 
      “Fiine. Take the fun out of everything, why doncha?” He muttered before turning back to you. “I see you haven’t gotten tired of the sunset, huh?”
      “No. Who would ever get sick of a sunset like this every day?”
      “One person comes to mind. A certain fish-like person.”
      “Oh, really? You get sick of the sunset? Aren’t you underwater the majority of the day?” You ask sarcastically.
      “Eh. I prefer staring at something else.” He wiggles his eyebrows and throws you a wink, making you roll your eyes. “Besides, the sun’s always in the sky, I can see it whenever I want.”
      You shrugged, staring out into the ocean with a sigh. Joseph couldn’t help getting a little frustrated that your attention was on something other than him. Slowly, he lifted up his hand, carefully keeping it out of your view and then...
      “BOOP!” He tapped the end of your nose, startling you, causing him to laugh. You rolled your eyes again, used to his antics at this point. It didn’t bother you as much anymore, but you knew that he wouldn’t give up until you showed interest in him. You turned back to him with a thin smile on your face. 
      “Well?” He looks at you quizzically. “You want my attention, right? Well, you have it now. What’s up?” He seems at a loss. He didn’t think it would actually work. You sigh, eyes trailing down to his large, green and brown tail. His scales gleamed in the dimming light beautifully. You could just barely see his fins, long and thin, ending in a bulbous end, almost like a sea dragon. 
      “Your tail looks nice, did you do something different?” You ask, trying to spark conversation. He perks up, interested in the new topic change about him, no less.
       You listen to most of what he was saying, but honestly, you were too distracted by the mess of hair on top of his head. It was wet and yet, somehow was still sticking up on end. You reached a hand out to it, gently brushing your fingers through it. It was softer than you expected. Joseph stopped, shocked by the audacity of attempting to mess up his hair. Your diligent digits massaged his scalp, tracing through his messy locks making him hum. Maybe it wasn't that bad. He leans into you subconsciously, closing his eyes for a moment. 
       He suddenly pulls away, dipping himself back into the water to keep from drying out, then hopping back up. This time, he stretches out along the boat, putting his head in your lap. You scoffed at the wet spot now spreading across your thighs, but continued playing with his hair. The two of you sighed happily, your faces illuminated in a soft, orange-pink hue from the setting sun. Your hand travelled down to his jawline, gently running along it with a lazy finger. His sweet blue eyes look up at you, trailing down your features.
     "How was your day, huh?" He asked. You sigh again. 
     "Okay, I guess. Boring, did a lot of housework which is never fun. Had to check the boat over, make sure nothing was ripped. I noticed a scratch along the side; nothing too big, just annoying trying to get a paint that matches not to mention it'll have to dry. So, probably won't see me for a bit." You looked disappointed. That's when Joseph got an idea, something to cheer you up a bit. 
     "Well, I'll just have to make this visit one to remember, eh?" He laughs, rolling into the ocean and splashing you. He quickly swam to the depth he needed, then turn tail, swimming up until he burst through the water like a graceful torpedo. Then, he leaned back, sending him into a spin that he definitely had control over. Suddenly, and totally unexpectedly he loses control on his second roll, belly-flopping into the water with a painful slap. He hoped you couldn't see him curling in on himself, sore from the drop.
     Soon, he regained himself, proudly swimming to you. There was no way you would have thought that was an accident. He did that on purpose, obviously.
     "Eeeh? What did you think?" He asked, treading water enough to flex one arm. 
     “That was-” 
     “-Incredible? Amazing, spectacular, wonderful, jaw-dropping-”
     “Something." You chuckled, covering your mouth. God, what a dork. "Are you okay?"
     "Wha?! Do you think that hurt me? I am a creature of the ocean, my dear (Y/N)! There's not a thing in the-"
     "Joseph!" You couldn't stop laughing. He was too sweet. "You know you don't have to jump around like a Pantene commercial to impress me." He furrows his brows. 
     "What's Pantene? Delicious food?"
     "No, no! It's a shampoo and conditioner thing," you say with a smile. "Besides, I thought that maybe for once you could come visit me while the boat is getting painted? I could fill-up the bath so you don't get dry and show you what Pantene is. What do you think?" 
     Joseph stares at you for a minute, pretending to think about the decision, as if he hadn't made up his mind the minute you asked.
     "Fiiine. If you want me to partake in your human things, I will." You grin at him, getting up to get the boat ready as you talked.
     "Great! I can turn the boat around and you can-"
     SPLASH-THUD!
     You turn around to see Joseph lying on your boat, a cocky smile on his face. 
     "Well? Come on, we don't have all day. Show me what this uh... sail can do!"

Sinn’s Mermay line up
Okay, here are my plans for Mermay using my prompts. I tried to space things out a little, not sure how much I’ll conform to this, but eh, who cares? I also hope it makes sense. I know when I look at it I can understand it, but it might look like a lot to you guys. Either way, I am super excited to write about nothing but mer!people. Gonna do lots of Jojo characters, but some newer ones from other fandoms, just to spice things up. Yeah. It’s gonna be fun!
My plan was to do four works a week, with the challenges spread throughout to give myself some time to reset and maybe work ahead of schedule. If there are any changes this will be updated immediately.
The original post is here if you’re interested in doing it yourself. Please, feel free to tag me either on this account @icollectyoursins or on my main @sinn-thecollector or, if you’re shy and socially awkward like me, you can send them in direct messages so no one else needs to see you interacting with anyone.

Since mermay is what I am writing the most of this month, in going to pin that at the top of my blog, but I'll leave a link to the other lineup. Depending on how things go, I am probably going to still try getting requests done, but my focus will be on the challenge.
