House with a view
A case has brought Hank to a strange house, he doesn't even know exactly where he is, as he slept in Ben's car the whole way.
He wanders around, mostly to escape the commotion of a bloody homicide, and ends up in the basement, which has a direct view of the water. He rolls his eyes at the extravagance, wondering how anyone could build such a large aquarium in their house. Turning, he notices movement in the corner of his eye, but it's gone when he tries to see something in the dark water. It must have been a fish, he thinks. That’s when he realizes that the dimensions are too large for an aquarium; the house must be built next to a large body of water, and this room has a direct view of it.
Hank is about to leave when the hairs on the back of his neck stand up, he feels he is being watched. His eyes scan the room for cameras, but there aren't any. Hank shakes his head, it must be the alcohol, his nap in the car must have been too short to clear the alcohol from last night.
As he takes one last look out the big window, his heart stops. A man is staring at him from outside—a man with a fish tail.
Hank tells himself that he should definitely stop drinking if he starts seeing mystical creatures. Mermaids—merman? he wonders—don't exist. Or do they?
Connor has always been too curious for his own good. His brothers keep telling him that sooner or later he'll get into real trouble. But he doesn't care. He loves to watch people, and this structure that the humans had built to observe underwater life is perfect for that.
The usual humans hadn't shown up for days after Connor had watched them fight, so he became curious when a new human suddenly appeared.
He had never been this close to the building, but something draws Connor to this big, sturdy man. He had never seen such a sad-looking human before. Sad and lost—and Connor wants nothing more than to see him close up, to make him happy. When he thinks the human is busy with something else and obviously distracted, Connor swims closer to the glass when the human suddenly turns around again.
They stare at each other. Connor studies the human very closely, taking in every detail of his face and body, while Hank obviously can't believe his eyes and doubts his sanity.
"Hank?" Ben's voice booms from the hallway, interrupting the moment.
"In here!" He turns to ask Ben if he's seeing what he's seeing.
But when he turns back to the window, there is nothing there but the dark water.
"Stop drinking, Hank," Ben advises, patting him on the shoulder.
"Yeah," Hank huffs. With one last look into the darkness, he was sure he saw glittering blue scales hiding behind a rock.
Bloody alcohol.
(Right?)

Apparently, my decision to be silly and make fanart of someone's writing (because I genuinely enjoy the story the person is writing and I was struck with inspiration upon reading a particular scene) has benevolent and wildly unforeseen consequences.
I apparently gained a bit of control of the canon because said writer really loved the art and decided what I drew/draw is canon.
2. Writer put said artwork into the document of his story right below the scene, so now it's IN the story where people who read the story will see it (with a link to me)
3. He sent the artwork to all his friends and people he knows because he was so excited
Wholesome interaction and I watched him do all that in real time, good stuff. However...there are two more consequences I was notified of today...nearly a full week after I gave the artwork.
Seeing the artwork caused his friends to become interested in reading and hearing about his story, which means more people are reading what he's writing and giving him critique on the story (which he actively asks for).
Apparently, upon seeing the art, his writer friends got a sudden second wind to pick back up writing they'd abandoned for a few months. Because, I quote, "seeing that someone enjoyed {his} writing enough to take the time to make art of it gave them the motivation that maybe THEY can write something that will inspire someone to also create something." I have accidentally caused a writing frenzy among his writer friends and my silly idea to make art for someone has had a butterfly effect for people who I don't even know.
Uhh...I'm pretty sure there's a moral here but I am tired and have a great deal of emotions about this.
