#YOI Mermaid AU

[rosereleasestheart]

So Let Us Be, You and I chapter 19 is now live!

Miserable and alone, Viktor is unable to forget about Yuuri after a magical night spent together at the Royal Banquet. So he takes the only logical step a pining mer prince can make: strike a deal with the royal Sea Witch in order to find his beloved. But unfortunately for Viktor, love and magic are not a game, especially when the object of one’s affection is determined not to play. And what he could end up finding out about Yuuri may become a deal breaker.

-

Yuuri, a lonely Sea Witch who works his magic in secret, is determined to never see Viktor again. But late one night he is awoken by a friend, who is terrified that the young mer prince has gotten himself lost in his attempts to find Yuuri again. Although scared of what another meeting might bring, Yuuri sets out to find Viktor before anything can happen to him.

The two find each other again - but not in ways either of them expected, and with consequences neither of them could have ever anticipated.

[Or: the story of a Sea Witch who helps a prince learn how to save himself, all while hopelessly falling in love along the way]

[Sequel to “I Want Something Just Like This”]

[Fanfic with accompanying art]

In this chapter:

Tension grows as the big night of the performance draws near, along with some other private developments that neither Yuuri nor Viktor know how to handle. But if Yuuri knows one thing for sure, it's that Viktor will not do this on his own.

@fawndlyvenus oh man okay so,

howl's moving castle AUs

kinnporsche: heart burdened, currently one of my active WIPs because im an absolute clown

bad buddy: listen with your heart (preview), on the backburner. i haven't posted much about it yet, but it's one of those AUs i still think about quite a lot and do really want to return to when i have more time to write and a few more things finished

svsss: if i have a name for it already, i don't remember it. don't think i've posted about this one at all anywhere, someone should remind me to break out the notes for it when i get back home actually 😂

haikyuu: shining dishonesty, written and posted! it features the msby4+osamu because they are everything <3333 i have notes for a sequel fic to it more focused on atsumu and osamu's relationship called try, try, try again, but i haven't really figured it out beyond a few scenes of their childhood

yoi: called rising sun AU, haven't posted on it at all iirc. honestly, probably won't? looking through my old notes, there are some pieces i like but a lot i'd do very differently now so ehhhh

as for mermaid AUs, anything posted is several years old and im shy about linking those 😂 i have at least 2 for haikyuu!!, but i cant remember if i have anything more recent than those? oh wait yes i do, a tgcf mer AU inspired by some art featuring hua cheng dumping his shiny treasure overboard all the time to attract xie lian's attention lol.

but hmmm lets see *counts fingers* 2 mer AUs for haikyuu!!, miraculous ladybug, and voltron: legendary defender, a series heavily featuring space mers (star gliders) for treasure planet, one for yoi, that one for tgcf, a very old one for fairy tail, and that's just the 10 i can remember off the top of my head lol. there's a lot of untapped potential for mermaids imo 🤣

*edit: OH MY GOD i have THIS BAD BUDDY MER AU i was literally thinking about the final part to this series the other week *smacks face*

*edit edit: patpran luca AU. *smacks face aGAIN*

*edit edit ediT: I am just. going to go lay on my face until I stop being embarrassing. I am definitely going to remember more mermaid AUs by the end of the night oh my god @ me

feeling odd scrolling through my long untouched writing folders and seeing the frequency at which certain tropes reoccur. i always knew my predisposition to mermaid AUs, howl's moving castle AUs, and AUs that deal with time in some way (time travel, timeloop, etc), but i have...a lot of soulmate AU wips in here too..

weird.

[fireshot]

plot ideas:  I have a little mermaid AU for Yoi.   Instead of a ‘Prince’  that attracts her  ... it’s the fireworks ...    

maybe she meets a friend that makes her want to become a human  ....  and despite loving to talk she gives that up ...

but her main interest is.  “Oooh......fire”

[dewa-chan]

Mermay Day 4!

Yurio finds a lil friend at a cryptic place. He’s not that into sea slugs but he secretly finds them pretty cute.

[qisheu]

The most recent one where it's a mermaid yoi au where Viktor and Yuuri are thieves going from stealing small trinkets and food to guarded magic items.

I have so many story ideas that need to be let out of my brain, but I simply can't seem to make content about them!! Crying, sobbing, dying!!

Some nice comments recently kicked my ass into starting this, so here's a little wip of the next mer au chapter~

[Text:

Something in the water suddenly changed. Yuuri's body stiffened at the negative energy filtering through. Viktor turned around before Yuuri did, smile ready on his face as he greeted, “Ah, there you are. Right on time.���

“Hmph,” Prince Yuri grunted in the doorway. “You actually bothered coming.”

“Of course I did,” Viktor said, eternally unbothered to the untrained eye. He motioned for Yuri to join them over by the wall of weapons. “Seeing as you're already dressed up for the occasion, you may as well pick out something you'd like to train with tonight. Anything your heart desires, as the weapon itself isn't what's important about what I'm about to teach you.”

Yuri rolled his eyes as he approached. “Like there's any other choice.”

Without fail, he pulled one of many tridents off the wall. A true, traditional Rutanian weapon. Yuuri wasn't surprised in the slightest. At least these have long since been dulled at the points so they presented no real harm to anyone, not even their own user. Yuuri felt certain that fact bothered the young prince. Someone like him would definitely want the thrill of risk behind every thrust.

Briefly, as he rested the weapon at his side, Yuri's eyes met Yuuri's – and they held for way too long.]

My friend got me this yurio charm for my birthday!! I love him so much! (If you're the artist message me so I can give credit!)

YOI Mer AU where Victor was born and raised on land in various aquariums, he trained from a young age to be some sort of performer(idk what the equivalent of ice skating would be) and soon he became the best of the best. He was often moved across the world and entered into competitions against other merfolk, he met Yuuri for the first time at one of these competitions. Yuuri was working part time, mostly cleaning, as one of his first jobs. He first saw Victor during the performance, and afterwards he snuck into the back to take a closer look. Things happen, they realize that they don't have any real way of communication, and they come up with a secret language over the month Victor is there. When Victor is inevitably moved, they promise to see each other again. Victor makes it his goal to become the best so Yuuri can find him again, and Yuuri decides to find a job that would make sure he can stay with Victor(and soon makes it his goal to let Victor see the ocean and not be trapped on land for the rest of his life).
