#jackcrutchie mermaid au

[angry-ace]

Fictober Day 7

Today’s prompt: In the distance.

This is the sixth chapter of my Jackcrutchie mermaid au.

Jack was undoubtedly strong both mentally and physically, but water was his element, not land. He could have outswam the fasted ships around if he were alone, but pulling himself and Crutchie up onto the dock was harder than it looked because he was out of breath and out of water. He was a literal fish out of water, well he was part fish.

Fortunately Crutchie was able to pull himself onto the dock. Crutchie had very strong arms, something most would never notice. Once he was on the dock Crutchie laid down and extended his newly-freed hands towards the water. Jack took his hands and was lifted from the water and onto the dock.

Once on dry land they laid on the dock taking deep breaths. “That was the wildest thing that’s ever happened to me,” Crutchie gasped.

“Did you have fun?”

“At first I thought you were trying to drown me, then I thought you were trying to feed me to sharks.”

“Don’t be silly, Race and Spot are sweethearts. They eat fish, not humans.”

“Are they friends of your’s?”

“They is actually, they’se like brothers to me.”

The two simply smiled and breathed before Crutchie’s teeth started to chatter in the crisp night air. “Are you cold?” Jack asked innocently.

Crutchie spoke, “not all of us were made to tolerate cold water Jack.”

“Let’s back to Davey’s so that we can get you warm.” Jack reached for his wheelchair and pulled himself into the seat. He rolled over to Crutchie who used it to help him stand up.He tried and failed to gently lower himself onto Jack’s lap, instead losing his balance and balance and falling onto him. Jack chuckled before leaning in and putting a lukewarm kiss onto Crutchie’s jaw. Crutchie leaned back, content to study the transition from Jack’s beige human skin to the grey dolphin skin of his tail.

Crutchie touched the beginnings of Jack’s tail, right on his hip, gently with his shaking fingers.  Jack wrapped his own fingers around Crutchie’s. “You impress me,” Crutchie whispered. “You simply amaze me.”

Jack finally decided to familiarize himself with the texture of Crutchie’s lips above water. The sun rose in the distance, warming the kissing pair’s skin while their hearts were warmed by each other.

Me writing a fluffy and self indulgent chapter? It’s more likely than you think. Sorry this is so short, especially for a Saturaday. I have my reasons why but I think this chapter turned out well so I actually don’t think that I really have anything to apologize for.

jackcrutchie,,,,mermaid au hcs,,,,???

(Just so u know im using the definition of merperson i came up w for a fictional story so they can go on land and blend in w humans if theyre careful)

So its normal canon time period

Jack and Crutchie have been best friends since forever

But there’s a big difference

Jack almost never sings

He claims he’s embarassed of his voice

Also he never takes his socks off but thats significantly less noticeable

After the strike Oscar and Morris are p mad abt losing their jobs, and they decide to take it out on guess who

So one night they ambush crutchie and throw him off the brooklyn bridge

There’s no way he could swim out on his own

But suddenly! the water glows green!

Jack jumped in after him, and he has webbed hands n feet and bioluminescence and shark teeth and stuff

He pulls crutchie to shore and makes sure he’s alright

When he’s sure, he starts singing 

and u immediately realize why he didn’t do it b4

Because oscar and morris jump right into the water and make huge fools of themselves

Anyways yeah jack is a merman confirmed

Newsies Merman/Mermaid AU

-everyone has a unique tail. jack and spot have fins on their backs as theyre leaders (also Katherine has one cos of her dad.....this is explained just keep reading)

-All the colours of the tails match their outfits (in the musical)

-and everything like the glasses, book, sling shot and cigar are what they found at the bottom of the ocean

-Crutchie is missing a fin so its harder for him to swim

-Pulitzer, Wiesel , Morris and oscar are shark merman (Katherine is fish mermaid because that's what her mother is)

-crutchies fin was trapped between the ocean floor and a ships anchor but jack got him free (but he was still hurt in the process)

- the newsies work under Pulitzer selling the sea news, which is pretty much the same thing but it's like under the sea so it's cooler

-the strike for the same reason as in the musical/ movie

-THEIR MONEY IS SILVER SHELLS

-les is so adorable but like a really fast swimmer?? Like so fast?? It helps them sell sea papes so..

-there are still different areas with different leaders cos you know the ocean is a big place guys but it's alright mermen/mermaids are fast swimmers

-also Katherine and Sarah are mermaid girlfriends

-Katherine has a shark fin on her back because her dad is a shark merman

-Sarah and Davey have the same shaped tail as they are siblings (les does to I just haven't drawn him) (..yet)

-Also blink lost his eye due to a fish hook but he's okay as mermaid/men have magic. They aren't rich enough for what would fully heal him. (Mush helped him recover) (might draw this later as well)

-so he's blind in one eye and wears an eye patch

-a pirate dropped the eye patch into the ocean

-Sarah has magic that can help heal and do other things but it's not that strong. She likes to do tricks with it. Like make heart shaped bubbles for Kathrine.

Fictober Day 27

Today’s prompt: Not enough

Uhhhh I wrote things down and they belong to my mermaid au so fuck yeah

Katherine stayed in her seaside kingdom grieving. Her brother had died, or at least that’s what her parents had said. At first he’d gone missing but no one knew where he’d gone or what had happened. Then her father told her that Crutchie had fallen off the pier, that he’d drowned. That was bullshit and Katherine knew it. There was not enough evidence to prove what her father had said about Crutchie. Katherine had no intention to believe her father’s blatant lies.

So Katherine did what she thought every sister would have, and sniffed around the spot where he’d “fallen in”. The water of course betrayed no secrets. The ocean was the most powerful thing on Earth and it could swallow anyone without a trace. It didn’t matter if the person was a prince that people would be expected to bow to; the ocean bows to no one. It didn’t matter if the person was Katherine’s best friend and the only thing stopping her from burning the palace to the ground; the ocean didn’t care. Katherine hated the ocean.

Still, even if the ocean gave no clues, Crutchie would. Her brother was disabled, he carried a wooden crutch, and wood floated. That crutch should have been found. The part of the pier wasn’t even particularly accessible to her brother. The only way to reach it was up a steep narrow staircase frequented by sailors. Mud had been tracked up each step along with other filth; the stairs were the prime place for a crutch to slip and a boy to fall into the water. That’s probably why Pulitzer said he’d fallen there. That’s probably why he considered it to be a convenient lie.

But Katherine could see no reason for Crutchie to try and go down those stairs; he had no business there and he knew better than to risk it for the view.

Katherine addressed her concerns with her father but his response only further infuriated her. “Katherine dearest, your brother has always been so sad and sickly. It’s quite possible he intended to fall in. Even if it was an accident, does it really matter? He’d never take the throne, not truly, for no one would respect a crippled king.”

Katherine had to be escorted kicking and screaming from her father’s office by the Delancey brothers. She couldn’t remember all that she had said but according to Hannah she had cursed him and said he never cared about Crutchie anyways and was glad that he was dead. All true of course but not the best thing to say to your father if you don’t want him to stop your investigation.

Katherine wasn’t going to stop investigating solely because her father had dismissed her. What kind of sister would she be if she did? Katherine’s next step was to start finding potential witnesses.

The next morning she started asking people at the pier if they’d seen a boy with a crutch on the same day that Crutchie had disappeared. None of them had. It seemed to Katherine that her brother had never actually been to the pier.

Katherine needed to find out what had actually happened, if not for Crutchie then for herself. Katherine couldn’t find peace until she knew what happened; there wasn’t even a body. Her last moments with her brother were after their mother had given birth. It had been exhausting, such a long birth, and it had taken a toll on everybody, not just their mother. The baby was healthy, he emerged in the world screaming and covered in his mother’s blood. It was almost visceral. There was no love in the birth. To the Queen and King he was just a piece in their political chess game. To Charlie and Katherine he was a threat. It was not that they didn’t love their new brother or at least believe that they would come to love him; rather, the threat was that their parents thought that they were not good enough and wished to replace them.

Katherine was out of clues and felt a deep loneliness aching in her soul, exhausting her. Katherine missed her brother; his absence was excruciating. She wanted to break down in tears. She wanted to be as close to him as possible; she settled for the next best thing.

Katherine climbed the staircase that lead to her brother’s bedroom. She had always thought it was cruel to make him climb all those steps every day, especially when his leg hurt like it did. The move was intentional on her parents’ parts. He reached the top of the stairs and was enraged by what she saw. In her brother’s room the Oscar and Morris Delancey were rooting through his things.

“What the fuck are you doing?” she screamed, “I could have you fired for this! I could have you executed for this?”

Oscar ran; Morris did too but he slipped over an expensive ring of Crutchie’s that his brother had dropped. Oh well, Crutchie always hated that ring anyways. No loss. Oscar didn’t even come back for Morris. Coward. Katherine would take advantage of his cowardice and lack of loyalty. Katherine picked Morris up by his shirt collar and pinned him against the wall. “Where the fuck is my brother?”

“Katherine, Katherine I’m sorry. I’m so sorry I did it because Oscar made me.”

“What the fuck did you bastards do?”

“It was K-King Pulitzer; he hired us and Warden Snyder to the kill the cripple.”

“The cripple? His name was Charlie; you killed my little brother at least say his name.”

“Charlie. We took him out to see and threw him in. He never came up to the surface.”

“You’re a monster.” Katherine knew she couldn’t report him to her father or to the warden because they were in on it. She let go of her shirt collar. It didn’t matter regardless.

A few moments later an iron grip crushed her shoulder and pulled her. She whirled around and was face to face with one of the most cruel men she knew, Warden Snyder. She tried to scream but he covered her mouth with his hand. She bit him and he slammed her head against the wall.

She was too dazed to fight back and they dragged her down to the castle jail by her hair. Despite the fire on her scalp she couldn’t scream. She felt powerless, and it was terrifying.

I made myself sad to write this and I’m sleepy as fuck even though it’s only 7:25 PM

Fictober Day 23

Mmmmmmm this is the eight chapter to my jackcrutchie mermaid au

Today’s prompt:  It was just for one night.

Crutchie had fallen asleep shortly after the kiss with Jack, or else he was a very good pretender. Jack law awake, his mind was far too busy and refused to calm. He lay with his arms wrapped around the lovely boy in the humid air. The heat of their adjoining bodies raised the temperature of the sheets that were damp with the residual water that’d clung to the boys when they got into the blankets. Crutchie made a contented mm noise and Jack could only imagine the trace of a smile ghosting the other boy’s lips.

Jack had only felt this safe and loved a few times before in his life and previously they had all involved Medda. Sure Jack loved all his friends but with the others there was always the obligation to comfort them, Medda comforted him and didn’t accept comfort from him, Jack never actually knew if Medda could use some comfort or not, but with Crutchie the comfort was mutual. Jack never felt like he had to be parenting Crutchie or selfish, they enjoyed each other equally. Unless Crutchie didn’t enjoy his company.

What if Crutchie doesn’t enjoy my company? Jack's stomach churned. I’ve been too busy making sure I was a good time and I never even asked him how he felt about his company. But he kissed me, so that must mean he likes me right? Wrong. He’s stringing you along because he feels bad for you. His affections will die by morning because you drive people away. It’s just for one night, like all your relationships.

Jack bit back a sob. He stared into the back of the boy who lay beside him. Before his back had felt like physical proof that Crutchie was there for him, now it felt like an impenetrable wall that separated the pair. Jack rolled onto his side so that he faced the wall instead of Crutchie. It was fair to say that Jack found no sleep that night.

I stg this was supposed to be fluffy  

[angry-ace]

Fictober Day 9

Today’s Prompt: In a new light

Okay so I wrote this for my Jackcrutchie mermaid au

Crutchie shivered violently in Jack’s arms. Jack was usually so good at remembering that humans’ needs were different than those of mermaids, but in his joy from being with Crutchie he had completely forgotten how humans had such intolerance of cold temperatures.

“Are you alright?” Jack asked.

“I'm f-f-f-f-fine,” he stammered through chattering teeth and quaking lips.

“No you're not, you’s freezin’ cold and your lips is turned blue.” The sunlight of dawn had done very little to warm Crutchie's body; he felt the chill of the cold air on moist flesh down to his bones. The intolerable temperatures were agitating his broken ribs and always aching leg. “We should get you back to Davey's now,” Jack noted.

The pair wheeled down the cobbled streets, the bumpy roads doing nothing to ease Crutchie's discomfort. Each bump sent jolts to his ribs and back. As they rolled over an especially large bump crossing onto the dike Crutchie's system was positively shocked.

The exhaustion was getting to Crutchie. He blinked slowly and leaned back to rest on Jack’s shoulder. He began to drift into unconsciousness before Jack shook him. “Hey, you need to stay awake. If you fall asleep now I won't have any company on the way home.”

“You're just scared that if I fall asleep I'll freeze to death and you won't notice,” Crutchie accused pessimistically.

As the light of the sun rose slowly in the sky Jack witnessed the stoic pessimism beneath Crutchie’s kind nature, seeing him in a different light. Jack’s conceptions of the boy were completely shattered by the few words he likely wouldn’t remember after falling asleep at Davey’s house. Jack could tell that Crutchie would always be kind, but there was something inside him that had stiffened and toughened under adversity. Jack knew the feeling.

He pushed the chair faster than he ever had. He raced to Davey’s and was relieved to see the doorstep. He rolled up the ramp they had installed for Jack’s convenience. Jack opened the front door and rolled down the hall that lead to David’s bedroom.

When they drew near the bed Crutchie rose from the chair and hopped into the bed. He twisted his body to face Jack’s. “Thank you for helping me tonight. Please make sure that you thank Race and Spot for me.”

“Of course, I was glad to.” He fidgeted with his hands for a moment. “I really enjoy spending time with you. Do you think we could share the bed tonight? I know it might be a little cramped but-” Crutchie interrupted him by pulling him out of the chair and into the bed with his strong arms. “Shh!” Jack stage whispered, “Davey isn’t that light of a sleeper.

Crutchie did something that Jack expected was to bold for him. He kissed Jack passionately. Jack melted into the touch. “God you’re beautiful,” Crutchie stated suavely.

Oh no, Jack thought, I’m in love.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angry-ace]

Fictober Day 5

Today’s prompt: Once, just once.

Okay so this is the fourth chapter of a mermaid au that you can find here.

Crutchie awoke to water dripping onto his face. “What the Hell?” he mumbled.

He opened his eyes to see Jack’ face hovering above his. Jack jerked his face away as quickly as possible. “Sorry! I didn't mean to wake you up like that.”

“Jack what're you doing?”

“I'm sorry, I just wanted to get a good look at your face. “You're,” he paused, “really handsome in the mornings.”

A blush spread around Crutchie's face like a virus, revealing all of his feelings before he could choose to. Of course Crutchie was beautiful in the mornings, he had the looks of a prince, he was supposed to be beautiful at all times. Still, Crutchie couldn't imagine anyone finding him good looking, especially someone as good looking as Jack,

when Crutchie was still filthy from his unplanned swim and dragging across the fish gut plastered dock of the castle. Somehow Jack found that good looking, or he was lying.

“Thank you, you don't look too bad yourself.”

Jack smiled toothily in response to Crutchie's compliment. “I have something I wanna show you, but we need to get the shackles off your wrists first.”

“Oh thank God,” Crutchie said. He had more to say about the manacles coming off but he didn't want to complain to Jack.

Unfortunately for Crutchie's plans, Jack noticed his silence. “What's wrong?” Jack asked, reaching for Crutchie's hands.

“It's nothing,” Crutchie lied.

“No tell me,” Jack gently prodded.

“It's just, I'm feeling really stiff from how I had to sleep with these on.” To fortify his point he lifted his still chained wrists, the chains made a clinking noise as he raised them up to Jack’s eye level.

“I'm sorry,” Jack said. “We're going to get them off soon, that is, if you're up for a swim.”

He’d phrased it as a question, but also as a challenge. It was a challenge that Crutchie was unsure he wanted to take. Despite this, he trusted Jack enough, over the short time that he'd known him, to be willing leave his comfort zone and accept his challenge.

“Let's do it!” he enthused, “I'm ready.”

“Wonderful!” Jack all but pulled Crutchie from the bed and into his lap. As it turns out, Jack was sitting in a wheelchair. It was quite clever actually, give the boy with a tail for legs a wheelchair so that he could navigate land more easily, not that is was easy. Still, it was easier then trying to drag his lower body around the floor, and more dignified as well.

“What’re you doing Jack?” Crutchie asked.

“ I’m carrying you to where we’re going.” Jack managed to wheel  the pair out of the room without waking Davey. They travelled through the kitchen and out the front door. Jack wheeled them so far that Crutchie’s legs were beginning to become sore from the sitting. Finally they stopped at the edge of the pier.

“Jack what’re we doing here?” Crutchie questioned.

“Do you trust me?” Jack asked.

“I really don’t see what that has to do with it.”

“We have to jump in, just once though. I won’t let you drown.” Jack made the promise so seriously that Crutchie could not doubt him.

Once, just once, Crutchie thought. We only have to take the plunge once. “I trust you Jack, do it.”

With that Jack shoved them out of the wheelchair and into the black water, sinking into its depths.

Ya girl left you with a cliffhanger ending, mostly because she got sleepy. Don’t worry though, I’ll resolve this tommorow probably, maybe.

Fuck this is gonna be long

Fanfics:

-my Jackcrutchie Mermaid au

-my newsbians fantasy au

-my hella angsty sprace au where Spot is a farmer not a newsie

-yesterday's fictober prompt that I accidentally fell asleep before finishing oops

Original fics (I'm going to be including both the works I've started and the ones that I wish to start but are currently just ideas rattling around my brain. As I was summarizing this I realized how messed up some of these are so I’m gonna give a content warning for death, abuse, body horror?, cannibalism, supernatural evils, attempted rape:

-a post apocalyptic novel about a group of teenagers who become refugees after their hometown is attacked by bandits and they end up fighting some cannibals and shit 

- currently there’s kinda an idea for a horror book in my brain about an evil ghost that preys on mentally ill people because neurotypicals find us less credible. Don’t worry the ghost gets killed in the end by a kickass lady and the sibling of one of its victims.

-  A woman is with her older sister, her niece, and her brother in law when the zombie apocalypse starts. Her parents were scientists and she was named after one of their coworkers.The brother in law is bitten and killed and the sister kills herself shortly thereafter. The protagonist is left to care for her niece. They end up in this community run by a tyrannical guy who sends the niece away against her will. She escapes and wanders alone until she’s scratched by a raccoon. The scratch gets infected but she's saved by another woman. They begin dating and find a new community that’s actually safe and good. They get word of the niece and decide to leave together to find her.

- A teenage boy with monoplegia in one of his legs caused by a spinal injury navigates the zombie apocalypse. His journey begins with his mother, infant sibling, and abusive father who escaped jail at the start of the apocalypse. He was in jail for causing the car crash that injured the protagonist by driving drunk. To escape a zombie horde the father throws the baby into the mob and the mother runs in after the baby, they both die. The protagonist is left with his abusive father who is eventually killed by a badass afab agender hero in a hotel. The hotel is overrun by the dead and they escape together. Once outside they steal a car with a key in the ignition. They drive for miles heading towards a refuge from the dead, a safe community where they can live out the rest of their lives in safety, when they hear noises coming from the trunk. They open the truck, expecting to kill a member of the undead, but are instead surprised by the presence of a kidnapped teenage girl. They drive together to the community but the protagonist is denied entrance because of his disability. The girl enters the community but the protagonist and agender badass move on. They encounter a group of other disabled people who were denied entrance to the safe haven. Notable members are a spunky autistic girl, and a deaf young woman who turns out to be the sister of the teenage girl they’d previously traveled with.

- Okay so Nina Normal is a transracial adoptee from India who is living in Kansas. She was adopted when she was a baby so she never meets her birth parents and they literally never become a plot point. She visits her uncle in his science lab and is caught in the explosion of a particle accelerator that gives her super speed. She starts fighting bigots with her best friend Maia, a Japanese teen who is an aspiring voice actress. She also attempts to dismantle Narcorp, a company responsible for selling the faulty lab equipment that caused her accident who’s goal is to cause people to get super powers so that they can have a super powered army.

-Okay so this one is an ace lesbian named Lana has a super abusive mom and also she is a princess. She’s a painter and has magic but she has dyslexia so finds it difficult to read spellbooks. There’s this army that trying to overthrow the queen and she joins them after her mom throws her out of the house after she attempts suicide. In the army she meets a girl Mary and she and Mary start dating. The queen’s army threatens to attack Mary’s army while it’s weak and Lana gives herself up to protect Mary. Lana’s mom tries to do a ritual to remove Lana’s magic for herself but it’s interrupted by Lana’s father, who she’s never met, rescuing her. Lana’s dad returns her to Mary and helps aid the overthrow of the queen. Lana and Mary have a huge fight about Lana’s mother’s execution and Lana goes to study magic in her father’s court. Lana’s dad turns out to be a dickhead, he tries to make Lana get married to a dude but obviously she doesn’t want to because she’s gay and also still hung up on Mary. The dude gets drunk and tries to rape Lana but she uses a spell to make him start throwing up and get really sick. Lana returns to Mary and helps dissolve the monarchy in her home queendom. It basically becomes a lovely anarchist commune and Mary and Lana get back together and also get married and live happily ever after.

- Okay so this one doesn’t have any humans. It takes place in a different solar system on the planet of Oceana. Oceana is almost entirely water and it has a bunch of different mermaid cultures and types of mermaids. There are polar mermaids that live in the cold areas, can survive on the ice, they have gills and tails, the way they walk is by digging their claws into the ice and dragging themselves around. The deep sea mermaids are more like angler fish, they have super great hearing and rather than speaking and doing hand motions like polar mermaids they communicate by flashing their lights. Basically the different mermaid tribes are at war and idk the mc is trying to resolve the conflict. The mermaids would be different sizes based on whatever fish they’re supposed to be.

-So there’s this evil group trying to turn people superpowered to do espionage shit idk. And they kidnap a bunch of at-risk teens to experiment on giving them powers or to study their naturally occuring powers. The kids eventually escape during an attack on the lab by a group opposing the scientists, but some of the kids got left behind. They begin working with the attackers to rescue their friends. What happened to them has some fallout on the kids like the mc’s boyfriend becomes addicted to drugs from his struggle to cope. Eventually the kids that got left behind are rescued. Some of them don’t want to keep fighting the organiation and move on. Other’s feel like their lives have purpose since they began the fight and keep at it. The one’s who moved on get roped back into it when the organization attacks a very public place and their guilt gets them involved.
