if you’re still doing the word game, how about Air

Legend gasped, his gills flaring as he tried to get the water they so desperately needed, but there was nothing but air, dry and hot.

Something had gone wrong with his mermaid transformation; he had ridden a far-reaching wave out of the water, but still had a tail, still had webbed fingers and scales, and gills and lungs that needed water and not air.

His vision started to waver, the water of the ocean he’d been swimming in glittering mesmerizingly just out of reach, and right before his vision went black, he saw boots approaching him through the sand.

Needing to kiss to hide from bad guys - number 17 kiss for leonie x felix?

I'm realizing I've written this prompt for a Felix ship a few times now. It's funny how easy it is to put him in these situations. Also thank you, anon, I love this rare pair <3

[other mermay prompts]

--

Leonie was in the market when she heard the whispers. She saw the men herself, striking out with thick hooks and ropes and nets. Her blood ran cold even before she heard the murmurs around her.

"... spotted a mermaid nearby... Foul things... Goddess bless these men and their..."

Tucking away her money pouch, Leonie scrambled away.

Half an hour later, she scrambled back toward town, this time carrying a confused looking merman with dark hair.

"I could've fought them off!" Felix snapped as Leonie skid down a grassy hill. She heard the group of hunters shouting not far behind them and was cursing herself for not thinking to bring something to cover Felix's tail. It would have to be enough that Leonie's bright hair was obscured by a hood. They wouldn't know it was the tanner's daughter that had napped their catch.

"If you had escaped, they would've just got in their boats and chased you," Leonie said. "You're done for once they get a good look at you."

"So what's your plan?"

"Hide you."

"How?"

"Working on it."

Felix grumbled but tightened his hold on Leonie's neck as the sounds of the hunters grew louder again. His tail, midnight blue and speckled with amber, twitched as if aching to swim away.

On top of the hunters at their heels, there was the countdown in Leonie's head to consider. Being Felix's human friend all these months had given her a pretty good idea how long he could survive without water. And that time was ticking away with every step.

Forcing away panic, Leonie pushed into the first storehouse she saw. It was cluttered with crates and barrels. Nets tangled beyond saving were piled in a corner, and rusted tools along one wall were covered in dust. Abandoned storehouse. Perfect.

Leonie placed Felix on a crate and began looking around, quickly locating a threadbare blanket. "What are you doing?" Felix hissed. "They saw a human run this way, they'll check all the buildings on the edge of town first!"

"I know, I know, I know." Leonie threw the blanket over Felix's tail. "Stop moving. If they come in here, follow my lead."

Felix scoffed. "You didn't have a plan six seconds ago. Now you have a lead to follow?"

Leonie shushed him and strained to listen. The crunch of boots on dirt was getting louder, angry voices growing close. Leonie watched the door, hand on Felix's shoulder, feeling him tense as footsteps stopped just outside.

A breath before the door flew open, Leonie pressed her mouth to Felix's.

To his credit, he didn't fumble or push her away. In fact he leaned into the kiss with an ease Leonie wouldn't have expected. He was normally so jumpy when she got too close-- she had assumed he just disliked physical contact. But the way Felix's hand rested on her hip and his head angled to soften the kiss told Leonie she had assumed incorrectly.

"They could be hiding in-- eh?"

Felix pulled back from Leonie, aiming his best glare at the men who had burst into the storehouse. An unnatural glow lit his eyes but the men were too flustered to notice. They grunted excuses and apologies before turning around again, leaving the storehouse door open in their hasty retreat.

Leonie remained in Felix's light hold for a few heartbeats. That glare had yet to leave his face, and Leonie found herself fascinated by the glow. Though his eyes were dark amber, Leonie was reminded of the ocean-- of the copper light cast on the water when the sun sat low in the sky, just before night truly enveloped your boat and torches in town were the only way to find shore again.

Then Felix looked down at her, and Leonie shook those thoughts away. "That did it," she stated.

"Not your worst plan," Felix admitted, his hand sliding off her hip.

"We need to find you water, and a new place to hide."

He hummed in agreement and wrapped his arms around her neck. "Let's get going, then."

Before, in panic, Leonie had scooped Felix up without thought. Now her heart gave a lurch as she held up close again. She forced herself to think about how badly he needed water, how much trouble they were still in. Even in the face of all that-- his arms around her neck and his breath on her cheek were pretty damn distracting.

Standing straighter, Leonie ran out the door, darting in the opposite direction of the hunters.

I never catch prompt lists in time but I did today! Here’s the link to the list I’m using here, by Jack Burke from Subjectively (check out the Subjectively channel they don’t just do mermay but do lots of cool character design and redesigns!

A shipreck enthusiast

(Image ID: A vaguely humanoid mermaid based off a narwhal. The top image showcases its anatomy underneath its skin.

The second image is a picture of it coming out of the water to an old ship lodged between some ice. It holds on to the ship while sawing off its bowsprit with a black knife. End ID)

platonic hilda and sylvain mermaids

"So you could go through this rocky pass but the view isn't that great-- plus seaweed always gets wrapped around my tail there-- which means your only other option is around this penisula which, honestly, just takes forever, and--"

Sylvain abruptly rolled up the map Hilda has been pointed at and sent her a tight grimace as he said, "You don't actually intend to help me figure out the best date spot for tonight, do you?"

"I'm sure I have no idea what you mean," Hilda said, resting her elbows over the side of Sylvain's boat and pretending to examine her nails.
