✨Crack AU✨

Alright, so when I first saw the pictures of Ulla, you know, this lovely lady right here

I was like, hmm. Looks familiar for some reason??

When suddenly, as I was watching the little mermaid 3

Her~

Which brings me to my crack au!

Ariel was not the only, or the first of Triton's daughters to grow enamoured with the human world.

Attina, first in line for her father's throne, also secretly fell in love with the world above. However, as the eldest of her sisters and the crown princess, Attina knew her place was in Atlantica.

That didn't mean she still dreamed.

Ariel was the youngest of seven daughters and and oftentimes not as subtle as she could be. Attina was willfully ignorant of her sister's coming and goings--but she could stand to have better timing

She mildly envied Ariel's ability to freely (as freely as a secret grotto is) express her curiosity of the human world.

But that didn't stop her from having a small collection of her own. She wasn't the collector Ariel was, but she was an academic. So finding a water proof bag and a hidden cave with an air pocket was a treasure trove for her interest...

Books.

In her free time (scheduled or otherwise) Attina would poach books left abandoned or about to be thrown away. The first time she rescued a book, she didn't realize the water would damage it, so finding that waterproof bag was an absolute godsend.

Over the years, Attina's forbidden library grew. She taught herself sciences and arts that could not be carried underwater. She told herself that on the off chance she needed to play politics with humans, it would come in handy.

That's not why she did it though

But not all secrets stay secrets.

Just a little before Ariel's adventure with the sunken ship, before their performance rehearsal, Attina's library is found by a certain silver-haired teenager.

That's right.

A 16 year old Donella.

Oh yeah in this au Attina is 18

Attina didn't expect to find anyone in her library, and Donella certain didn't expect to find a secret library with a mermaid.

Both lost their minds for different reasons. After the screaming session they calmed down and ended up bonding. Donella was from a noble family so the two ended swapping court stories and ranting about the lessons, rules, and expectations.

Neither really had friends, Donella for her weird interests in science and Attina, while she has friends, constantly wondered if it was because she was a princess or for herself. So she distanced herself to save herself from the heartache.

Donella just wants to science and get away from her horrible aunt. So when Attina asks her to keep her and the library a secret, Donella's lips were sealed.

So while Ariel was searching sunken ships and spying on a certain prince, Attina was learning about science and bonding with this quirky noble girl.

There's more but I'll break it into different parts.
