A Friend in the Shallows - a Mermaid!Kaveh x reader drabble

Pretty much exactly what it says on the tin! An extraordinarily late Mermay drabble!!

Content: Mermaid!Kaveh and gender neutral reader. Not inherently shippy or romantic, just a little drabble! A very light helping of angst towards the end.

It’s a relief, finally making it out to the forest again after nearly a week of constant storms. It feels like a brand new place, with a fresh coat of lush green paint to match. Branches and debris are scattered about everywhere, and you almost get lost a few times before finally recognising the two crossed trees that signal the clearing your safe haven rests in. 

The water seems to be calm and still as you approach, barely a ripple on the surface. The azure pool is much deeper than it looks from the surface most days, but today you can clearly see just how far the depths go, even around the leaves and sticks scattered about. 

A soft breeze blows through, disturbing the water and pulling you out of your thoughts. You look around for a few moments before spotting your preferred place to sit - a broad, flat rock nestled amongst the roots of a large, twisted birch tree. You clear some leaf mulch from it before sitting down and opening up your book, settling in to read.

The creatures of the forest make for nice companionship, despite the chill in the air. It’s not long before you recognise the cacophony of the duck family that has come to recognise your presence here, and smile in relief upon realising that they seemed to have made it through the recent storms just fine. 

A while passes, and the wind begins to pick up a little more, and eventually you mark your place and set your book down beside you to regard the ducks, floating around in the pond. They seem to be focused on one area in particular, underneath a large clump of branches and bushes that seems to have grown since you were last here. They’re floating by it, pecking at the low-hanging branches and occasionally fluttering their wings. 

You can’t help but frown at the sight, wondering if there might be something wrong. It takes you a while to muster up the courage to approach. You can just make out a figure in the shadows underneath the heavy layer of leaves, and redouble your pace. 

Your heart drops as you wonder if it might be a body, some unfortunate hiker caught out in the storm, and you quickly begin to pull off the layers of branches from the other side, while the ducks nip and fuss about from the water. 

“Hey, hey, hey!” A voice comes from within the bushes, startling you out of your stupor. “You hooligans!” They complain. “That is enough!” You hear a splash and freeze as the ducks scatter, quickly beginning to question if this is when you should be starting to run. “I was asleep!” You take a few steps back as the makeshift shelter shudders, and something large slides out from under the leaves and into the pond with a shimmer. 

“That’s what I thought!” The person in the water shakes their fist at the retreating ducks. “You are not very nice neighbours you know! This happens again and I’ll be cooking one of you up for dinner!” Though, even as he speaks, you see him adjust the direction of his waving to help spook one of the ducklings off in the direction of its family before it can get lost in the reeds. 

“Uhm.” You begin awkwardly, unsure of how to confront this situation. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were in there.” You take another few steps away from his shelter. 

“Oh!” The person whirls around quickly, seemingly just as shocked as you are to see someone else here. “I-uh. Hello there.” His brown eyes meet yours, and his perfect eyebrows arch upwards. “You’re a human.” He observes, before you can say anything else. 

“And…you’re not?” You respond dryly, setting your hands on your hips.

“Yes. Well, no - actually, kind of - I mean - I’m not human. Technically.” He stumbles over his words as he gestures vaguely. “Does being partially human count for anything?” 

“What do you mean?” You frown at him as he flounders, twirling his long blond hair around his fingers, showing off the brown tips as he tilts his head to the side.

“I’m a mermaid.” He announces, with no preamble or beating around the bush. “Well, merman, I guess, if you want to be pedantic. I have yet to meet any mer who uses that title.” His chattering increases in speed, giving you no chance to butt in. “Humans made it up, actually, which is like - that’s fine, I suppose, but our biology is much more complicated than that, and-” 

“A mermaid?” You manage to echo after a few moments, and the man in the pond stops in his tracks, looking up at you in a way that could either be mildly offended or somewhat amused. Now he’s still, you can see white, gold and orange scales beneath the surface of the water, shimmering softly in the light. Sprawling fins swish back and forth absently, though the mermaid is sitting in the shallows, his weight resting on the rocks and plants. 

“It’s rude to stare, you know.” He narrows his eyes, a hint of a smile pulling at his lips.

You quickly avert your gaze. “Sorry.” You mumble sheepishly, cheeks warming.

He shakes his head good-naturedly and flicks his hair back. “Anyways,” he says, perking up. You brace yourself for another rant. “What’s your name?” 

You introduce yourself, and the mermaid practically beams. “That’s a lovely name.” He comments, then falls silent for a few awkward moments before he remembers his manners. “I’m Kaveh, by the way. It’s a pleasure to meet you.” 

“It’s nice to meet you too, Kaveh.” You offer a small smile, and the surface of the water ripples as Kaveh’s tail flicks about, stirring the small plants growing in the shallows. 

“What brings you all the way out here?” He adjusts his position, turning his back to you as he moves towards the deeper part of the pool. “The nearest human village is…” He gestures somewhat vaguely in a direction that you most certainly did not come from. “A while away.”

You walk around the outskirts of the pool to stay in his line of sight as you answer. “Well, I come here a lot.” You inform him. “To read, do papers, write, those kinds of things. It’s…quiet.” You shuffle your feet and look down to watch the crisp green grass spring up where you’d been standing just a moment ago. “What are you doing here?” 

“Well, I…ah, I’ve been hanging around a while since that big storm, y’know. Taking in the scenery, helping out, waiting for inspiration… That kind of thing.” Kaveh smiles airily and waves one dainty hand about.

It doesn’t take long for you to see through his charade. “You’re stuck, aren’t you?” You raise an eyebrow. 

Kaveh seems to wither in on himself a little, crinkling his nose up in distaste. “Perhaps just a little.” He admits after a few moments.

You can’t help but laugh, and his tail flicks back and forth, shimmering in the dappled sunlight coming through the leaves as his pointed ears take on a distinct downward tilt. “Well, where did you come from? Can’t you go back?” 

Kaveh lets out a long-suffering sigh. “Theoretically, yes.” He waves a hand about. “I’m drawing up a schematic for a device that will be able to carry me through the forest and back home.” He taps a pouch on his hip. “There are just a few bits and pieces I need that I can’t find here. Wheels, elastics, those kinds of things.”

“Oh.” You mull over the problem for a few moments, scratching your chin in thought. “Well…Maybe I might be able to help you with some of it.” You run over your budget in your head, and vaguely wonder where you’d be able to source the cheapest wheels from. 

“Really?” The way his face lights up is akin to watching the sun come out from behind a cloud, and his fins flare out in excitement while his tail all but wags, sending a few small fish darting back towards the outskirts of the pond. 

“I mean, I don’t see why not.” You manage to smile, though you’re a little preoccupied with trying to figure out the exact way you’d go about all this, when you’d come down to help. “I couldn’t just leave you stuck here.” 

“You know, I think my housemate would like you.” Kaveh informs you with a cheeky smile that suggests that perhaps his housemate is a touch more judgemental than he’s letting on. 

“Mermaids have houses?” You ask, before you can stop yourself. “And housemates?” You try to picture it in your head, but all you can come up with is an image of a mermaid palace from a book you read as a child. 

“What, did you think we just flop upside-down and float down the river like dead fish when we get tired?” He scoffs, rolling onto his back in the shallows with a dramatic flourish, sending a spray of water showering over you as he flicks his fins, his piebald-patterned scales glimmering in the dappled light of the clearing.

You yelp in surprise and shield your face from the cold droplets. “Hey!” You scold him lightheartedly. He gives you a grin that’s somewhere between apologetic and mischievous. 

“Come on, let me show you the schematic.” Kaveh tells you suddenly, pulling a rolled up scroll of something that looks akin to paper, but a little more sturdy. “Come on, get over here, I’m not drying myself out sitting in the dirt with you.” He waves you over. 

You both spend the next few hours poring over his schematics - he shows you a few other projects he was working on before the storm, while you both exchange details about your own respective lives. You share a bit of the lunch you packed, and he offers you some interesting little edible plant wraps from one of his satchels in return.

Before you know it, the sun is beginning to set, and the clearing is getting darker faster than you’re comfortable with. You sigh regretfully and make to pull yourself into a standing position. “I’m sorry, Kaveh, I should go.” You look up at the sky, splotched with light grey clouds. 

“Wait.” Before you can straighten out, you feel Kaveh’s cold hand around your wrist, and his brown eyes fix you with a doleful look. 

“What is it?” You ask, a little worried that he was under the impression that you were going to stay here overnight, or come back with his supplies today. 

“You…” His voice seems to die in his throat, which comes as a bit of a shock to you - even though you’ve only known him for a couple of hours, it seems like he’s always got something to say, and no measure of impulse control to stop him from saying it. “You’ll come back, right?” He tries for a smile, but it comes out a little wobbly and nervous. 

“Of course. I said I would, didn’t I?” You return his smile, though the intensity in his gaze feels almost intimidating. 

“I- well, yeah, yeah, you did.” Kaveh lets you go, shrugging his shoulders as if he’s shedding a heavy backpack. “Just, be safe, won’t you?” He tilts his head to the side. “I mean, you’re my ticket out of here.” He runs his fingers through his hair and lets out a little laugh that turns into an awkward cough as you don’t laugh along. 

There’s something in his gaze, some sad sort of longing that makes you realise for the first time that he’s carrying a heavy loneliness within him, one that stems from something more than the few days he’s spent isolated in this little clearing. It makes your heart ache. “I’ll be back.” You assure him. “I promise.”

Merman Kaveh x naga Alhaitham

(Part one)

[velkia]

do you think a 'the little mermaid' au for alhaitham and kaveh would be fun? who'd be the prince and who'd be the mermaid!!

I've been thinking about it for 2 days...

The most inspiring for me would definitely be an AU where Kaveh is the mermaid. He would be a talented architect from the undersea.

During his youth, his mother fell in love with a human from Fontaine, and turned into a human to live with him. Kaveh was left alone. He then began take an interest in the human species, going to the surface to interact with them, studying their culture, especially their architecture, their food…etc etc. After a while, the humans of Port Ormos would appreciate him so much that he was asked to renew the structure of the Port.

One day, he noticed a beautiful student from the Akademiya sleeping on the beach, a book in his hands. His name was Al-Haitham. They became friends very quickly, meeting there as often as the could.

The heart of Kaveh began to be flooded with a strange feeling towards his friend. He wanted to spend his days with him, laughing, discussing...cuddling.

But they'd never be able to live together, and he knew it. Unless he became human.

He and the student worked on a project together: "Decoding the Runes and Architectural Philosophy of the Ruins of King Deshret's Civilization". Kaveh actually used this project as an excuse to ask Al-Haitham to help him to find a way to become human. Then their fallout happened.

Since this terrible event, Kaveh didn't return to the surface, even though people asked for his talent, until…

Dori.

She asked Kaveh to design her famous Palace of Alcazarzaray. In exchange, she'd turn him to a human. He accepted, was given two beautiful legs, then…you all know how it turned out.

Al-Haitham offered him a room. Kaveh felt both relieved to be given a shelter and shameful that his no-longer friend saw him in such a pityful state.

An architect mermaid with nor home, nor fins, nor sea.

Time passed, their relationship started to improve. However, Kaveh missed the undersea, and Haitham noticed it. Thinking his friend would be happier if he returned to the sea, he found a potion to turn him back to a mermaid. He gave it to Kaveh, who eventually just spilled its content to the floor (he'd clean it later don't worry).

Yes, he felt miserable. Corals, seashells, fishes...how much would he pay to swim among all of that just once again. But nobody awaited for him there. He would never be as loved as he was on the surface there. And above all...

He'd never feel more home than with Haitham.

...

Nevertheless they managed later to buy a magnificent aquarium for Kaveh. He would sit in front of it during harsh days, an ocean of stars flooding his eyes, while Haitham would secretly observe him.

Aaand, that's it! Sorry if anything seems weird, I'm french but I do my best with english. owo

Argenti(A soldier who protects the Princess from harm)

Overprotective Knight x Overworked/Anxious Princess

A long time ago in the nation of Winds lived a young woman who was the Princess of the land. She sat on the throne alone, with her parents now gone from an uncureable disease that plagues the land. From 10,000 down, the Kingdom fell to it's knees from the plague.

While in it's darkest moments, visitors from afar visited the lands with gifts to help the poor. The people who recieved the items were pleased with their business, that word reached the Princess who was in dismay from the disaster of the plague. Rumor has it that she set up a meeeting with one of the vistors to dicuss an alliance from their kingdom.

Hours turning into days, the visitors returned in a much smaller group than they left in.

The knights, they killed us off one by one. One of the suitors cried.

They said that we tried to steal from the treasury, when we were just talking. They were insane.

Thus the words of the visitors began to stir up chaos internally within the kingdom of the winds.

"What's going on out there?" The princess asked a bit worried. There were shouts coming from outside her palace walls. She was sure they were upset from the illness that overtook their kingdom. She did her best with the help of her knights to control it, but everything she did, didn't seem to work.

She asked for help which is why the visitors were sent in, only to find out that they were trying to steal items vital to her Kingdom's health restoration?

She was so suprised she knew mot what to do, but she sent her head Knight to take care of the situation.

Was that why they were banging on her doors now?

She was almost there to finishing the medicine for them. All she needed was a plant that gree from the neighboring kingdom that was hard to find.

If she sent her knights, there was a chance they would mess it up. It had to be her.

Sending off knights to amother position in the castle, she grabbed a cloak. She just had to be quick and return.

"My lady?"

Do you trust me? (Kaveh x Reader)

This person isn't he that blonde from a few days ago that tried to woo you with his cringey lines and art that looked half finished. You found him a bit odd, but nevertheless ignored him. He tried to keep getting your attention, and now has gotten into your house, even past your advisor, al-haitham.

Now here is was on a magic carpet.

"Uhm, where in the hell did you get this magic carpet from?" You stood with your hands on your hips.

"I know you. You're that blonde who's been trying to woo me for the past few days."

''If you think a few expensive clothing and a magic carpet will change my mind about you, you're mistaken." She side eyes him turning to go back to her room, when the carpet moves in front of her.

"Apologies for bothering you, but please if you'll give me the chance, I want to show you something." He holds out his hand again in a pleading manner.

You let out a small sigh.

"Fine." You walk closer as the carpet bows to you, out of respect. At least one of them knew boundaries. You sit next to him as thr carpet takes off, shocking you with whiplash. You hold on tightly to it, as you go node diving down into the world. You let out a small scream as he laughs in excitement.

This clearly was the worst date you have ever been on.

An item was stuck in your hair that you just brushed.

"For you, your highness." The moon reflecting off his red eyes. Has his eyes always been as beautiful as the moon?

Your expression softens as he lets oit a smile

Here for the first time!(Lyney x Mermaid Reader)

That's the blonde human you rescued!

You swam-walked next to him, matching his footstpes on land. That's right, humans don't swim to get around.

Walking wasn't your strong suit yet, but if you wanted to explore land, you would have to get used to it. The blonde let you lean onto him as you walk through the crowd who stared with curiousity towards you?

You being a royal yourself was used to the staring. You did your best not to meey their eyes, if they had questions.

Entering the palace, you look at the decor comapring it to youe grotto. This place was a downgrade from your palace under the depths away from human eyes.

"Are you comfortable, muse?" He asked nervously playing with a deck of cards that he randomly pulled out.

You nod, as he lets out a sigh. His brave facade returns as he guides you around the palace.

Shiny things. You stop halfway through to pick up an item and try it on, causing him panic.

"No! That's not food!"

"Please muse, that doesn't go in yoir hair!"

You reach in a tank that's on display putting a fish to your mouth. This was one of the ones that you eat, normally.

Your poor subject, at least they'll be able to serve you properly. You rip off it's head and chew it normally like you would with your food. You stare at the blonde who looks horrified from the blood staining your lips.

How unlady like!

You wipe it off with your arm, making it much worse.

He stared for a moment before dragging you by the arm to another room. He mutters unnder his breathe, something about regretting taking you into his palace now.

This was normal in your palace however?

Why was the blonde you saved so upset?

Humans are so interesting to learn about.

I need a hero. (Brant x Damsel? Reader)

You stood sword and sword in hand going up against a demon that plagued the village that you lived at.

Demons that were considered the curse of humanity by the church, has not be exterminated from the very same people who deemed them as evil.

There were lists going around about which villiage was targeted speculated by the most revent acitivity.

The church said you weren't going to be a victim, until you were.

It happend at the stroke of early evening.

Everyone rewinding from the day, when demons appeared in a few houses that began the chaos. Now the villiage sat almost abandoned from the people evacuating to the next town over.

You however, refused to lose your home to such a nasty thing. If no one would stop it now, you all would lose everything. And things were irreplaceable.

You silently fought against it, as it snarled in pain from your recent blows.

The pattern being easy to figure out after such a long time. You dodge it's upcoming attack when you misstep and the demon snatches you by it's hand.

Your head spins as you feel yoir body hurt from being thrown up and down from it, before falling to the ground disoriented. You tried to get it together, s it came close to deal the finishing blow, when someone came through with a yell of truimph.

The man slashing through the monster when he hits a weak spot. The monster now headless fell to the ground.

The person walked over to you, sheathing their weapon as they stop next to you. Your blurry eyes making out blue haor and red eyes.

"Are you okay, my liege?" He leaned out a hand for you to grab. You accept as he slowly helps you sit up.

Once the spinning stopped, you were able to clearly make him out.

The clothing?

He is familiar now that you look at him.

That one exiled theif who stolw from the church and would help the common folk.

"That demon really did a number on you." He noted pulling out meidical equipment to help patch you up.

"My dear liege, I was passing through and saw you battling with the demon. I must say I am impressed by your skills."

"I couldn't let it take my home."

"Your home that's in flames, my liege?" You glance around seeinf the home you fought to protevt, in shambles even though you defended it.

That last blow must have triggered something.

Now you had no place to return to.

"If I may offer?"

"Until you're able to find another home my liege, me and my lost ones, travel isle to isle all along this sea. We help other lost ones in need of home from demon attacks. If you would accept, you would have a place to stay."

You were about to agree when another demon, ran behind your savior angry from the previous demon he had killed.

He went to take the final blow, as you ran foward, stabbing the thing in the eye.

POV: Kaveh is a merman and had just transformed into a human for the first time.... but there is an appendage he doesn't recognize and Alhaitham seems oddly flustered 👀

as much as I want them to be happy, something about Kaveh and Alhaitham is just so... suited to tragedy. like they give me the same feelings that probably led to someone coming up with Orpheus and Eurydice
