Treading Water - Tumblr Posts

7 months ago
A merman with skin and hair the white of sand dollars and bone, and a tail and fins disappearing into the black of velvet and shadow, swims suspended over the bottom of a black, black pool. His eyes glow faintly green, and a stream of bubbles trails up from where he's holding his breath, so as not to breathe in the chlorine.

Danny from "Treading Water" by @breynekai-tfc for last year's mermay. (This fic is so good. It's getting into the Brother's Keeper arc timeline wise, and a very very good chapter just dropped. Arguably the best mer fic ever written. It's funny with good angst. The characters are all very well adapted to the au premise, and I love them all.) https://archiveofourown.org/works/28431612/chapters/69670065
