The Drowning Time

“We aren’t very kind to sirens, are we?” the man asked. “Mermaids are charming enough, in their queer, inhuman way, but society simply cannot comprehend that a predator can still be a lovely person.” “They have their reasons,” Charlie said, feeling her smile and voice both growing weaker as she turned back to the first human to look at her like a person. “I mean… We do…” The man shook the index finger of his free hand. “Do not make excuses for small-minded fools,” he said. “You embrace your instincts and do what you must to survive. There is no fault in that.” - Or; Alastor is a human serial killer who wants Charlie to embrace her instincts. Charlie is a pacifistic siren who wants Alastor to be a better person. Only time will tell how this will turn out.

Behold the first fic in my mermay collab with @qdkdraws!

Fanfiction: Between the Dragon and the Deep Blue Sea (5559 words) by Alecto

Fandom: Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (Anime & Manga) Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Relationships: Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler/Kaiba Seto Characters: Jounouchi Katsuya | Joey Wheeler, Kaiba Seto Additional Tags: Post-Canon, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Drowning, Swimming Pools, Beaches, Secret Crush, Unresolved Romantic Tension, Angst, Angst with a Happy Ending

Summary:

After the nightmares subsided, Jounouchi assumed he was fine. It wasn't his first near-death experience. Summer swim lessons reveal otherwise. It's Kaiba's fault. It's always his fault.

A birthday gift for the lovely @luxielovesparkles! 🎉🎊🎂 Inspired by previous conversations/comments about Jounouchi's almost drowning giving him a new fear of water.

---

"You fucking idiot!" Kaiba roared, tearing off his sodden jacket and flinging it on the ground. "If you can't swim, don't get in the fucking pool. Especially when there's no one around. You could've drowned—"

"I know how to swim!"

Kaiba froze. His white-knuckled fists were twisted in his linen shirt, wringing it dry. He stared at Jounouchi.

"So you were trying to kill—"

"No!" Jounouchi grabbed fists of his soaking hair and pulled. The pain was almost clarifying. "I wasn't trying to kill myself, goddammit. I can swim! Or I used to be able to! Before your stupid fucking tournament last year!"

Last summer felt like an eternity ago.

Kaiba fell silent. Tight-lipped, his expression turned somber as he scanned his own memories. Jounouchi spotted the exact moment Kaiba reached a conclusion.

"The incident at the docks," Kaiba said mechanically.

I dunno, I keep hearing about Jenkins saying there’s no ofmd without con and my assumption is he’s gonna be in season 3 only in flashbacks, or as a ghost talking to Ed. And I’d just be so mad Izzy’s character gets reduced back down to managing Ed and being sassy. Season 1 Izzy was a delight, for sure, I love that cranky bastard man, but he went through so much development, if that’s how they keep him in the show then I’ll just die mad about it I guess. Just not gonna bother with S3. That’s it, my last Izzy rant. Thanks so much to every mutual who allowed me to remain on their dash :’)

It really bites when your current hyperfixation updates only once a month and in-between that you are just running in the air trying to find new fan art or fics to keep that dopamine up.

Both Germany and Spain absolutely would have deserved to go through to the final. Talented players, passionate game, good strategies, in the end it really was as much luck as skill that decided who won.

France on the other hand....

George Harrison - Between The Devil & The Deep Blue Sea

[qdkdraws]

Before she became a hopeless fish kisser, she almost killed her useless fish husband

ouch

For context, in this AU, Adam and Lute first met during her childhood, and he is several years older than her.

another thing from the million sketches that I did for mermay and merm au and did not plan to publish for many reasons (but I’m really proud of this piece + @mistystarshine gives permission, so here it is)

confiteor. i voted jesus judas in the rpf tourney because i fucking hate the beatles. i hate them beyond measure. i feel nothing but hate and loathing and ridicule for the beatles. i despise that man john lennon and have nothing but contempt for that man paul. i dont care that they jacked off together i dont care about their bitch fights and i especially dont care that theyre beacons of western music. nothing in the world could ever make me not absolutely abhor those fucking beatles. i crush them beneath my boot. disgusting things.

Have a quick preview of the next fic in Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea!

“What’s your name?” Husk asked, turned around to face the fully embraced peacock given human form.

To his credit, the man looked Husk in the eyes. He knew himself well enough to know that that wasn’t an easy feat. The fact that he was a half-decent listener didn’t do much to make up for his resting bitch-face.

“Angel Dust,” the guy said, crossing his arms over his chest. His shirt didn’t even reach halfway down his stomach. Somehow, Husk got the impression that he would look more modest if he took his shirt off completely. Innately, he knew that that was the point. More importantly, that, the entire rest of the guy’s wardrobe, and the pissy way he was looking at him all dulled in comparison to what he had just said.

“Your name is Angel Dust?” Husk asked in blatant — albeit tired — disbelief.

“Far as you know,” Angel Dust said. “Why? What incredible name should I be calling you, jackass?”

“Husk,” he said.

“Husk!?” Angel Dust squawked. “You’re judging Angel Dust and your name is Husk!?”

“Far as you know,” Husk parroted.

Angel Dust’s eyes narrowed. There was something about the precise squint, the downturn of his lips, and the way that he very clearly wanted to sock Husk in the jaw that turned him into something beautiful, just for a moment.

He snorted, the glare fading away in favor of a challenging, teasing smirk, and the moment ended. “Alright then, Husk,” he jeered. “You gonna tell me what your problem with me is, or am I just too much for you to handle?”

“I don’t know you well enough to have a problem with you,” Husk said. “But that’s why I don’t want to get to know you.”
