I need to get to bed, but I thought about Mermaid AU, today ... specifically started exploring the idea of Heathcliff returning to land with Sherry after everything with Davy Jones is resolved, and it made me think about how he'd struggle to conceal his Mer instincts ...

#also‚ hypothetically‚ would Radley inherit Mer traits from his father ...?#I wonder about it a lot ...#anyway the idea of Heathcliff needing to assume his Mer form from time to time is amusing because Sherry probably just runs the bath--#--and lets him splash around in there for an hour or three #sometimes she takes him to pools ... and on rare occasions where they can get away she'll accompany him to the ocean #I think Mer can't stay in their human forms for too long or they'll suffer negative side effects ...#when I waa doing research I read that if Mermaids were real they'd need to keep their gills wet ... or else they'd dry out and--#--they'd be unable to breathe underwater as a result #so I feel the Mer in my lore would need to return to their Mer form and be in water fairly often ...#... I'm going to think more about Mermaid AU while I fall asleep tonight #AU: Taste the Salt Upon My Breath 🌊#r: remind my heart to beat 💢#si: to a great mind‚ nothing is little 🤎#scattered pages
