#merman daniel larusso

[sensei-venus]

Omg @gemini-sensei I'm thinking about Poly! Mer!Daniel and Mer!Amanda who falls for a lone fishermen woman.

Reader believes in mermaids and mermen even though all the other fishing boats don't. She believes that are out in the California waters. She doesn't care if they don't believe her, be just has a feeling they are out there.

One day she has to go farther out, pushing the boundaries of the fishing border. The tides are pushing out huge schools of fish. And she definitely needs the money. So she drives out to a more secluded area she has heard talk about. Known for being more quiet and packed with fish.

She's out for hours trying to bag some fish. Throwing multiple nets. She's lucky enough to get just over her normal catch.

She grins as she starts to haul up her last fill net of the day before she heads back to the docks. Hoping to sell off her load by mid-day.

But then suddenly her net feels heavy, way heavier than it should for just some fish. She fusses with the net trying to get it back into her tiny boat. Her back aches as she pulls.

Then as she pulls it up something slaps out of the water inside the net. Hitting her hand and flailing about.

It's a giant purple and amber tail fin!

She instantly drops the net and falls back into the boat. Her but meeting the hardwood of the boat floor. She's so taken aback but she gets up and looks down at where the net fell. She has no idea what going on but she knows something is wrong. She'd quick to pull out her pocket knife and hack away at her net. She sadly sacrifices one of her nets to free whatever creature is stuck in her net. As she cuts she feels terrible, accidentally snagging the poor thing.

Once the net is cut wide open the creature makes a break and goes straight down into the dark waters below. Not even attempting to surface. Reader is stuck standing there for a few minutes. In complete shock about what just unfolded. She didn't get a good look but she knows that she just witnessed SOMETHING unknown.

After a few minutes she finally gets herself back together.

She grabs a few of her fish, ones that are definitely gone by this point. She places them on some near by rocks in a pile. On clear display. She shouts out to no one in particular.

“I'm so sorry for getting you hooked up and stuck in my net! I hope I didn't hurt you by accident, I didn't know you were down there. I'll try not to do it again. But be aware because of the tides going out more people are coming out here to fish. There will be more nets out here with en the week! Please take my offering as an apology gift! I'm sorry once again!”

Once she retrieves her ruined net she heads back in to the docks.

She doesn't even notice Sam who picks at the pike of fish. Ripping into one before taking the rest back home to her parents. Who she later explains what happened.

Daniel and Amanda are upset at first, at the fact their daughter was out in the open water but also the fact she ended up caught in a net. But when Sam explains the woman apologized and even warned her of the threat of more fishing boats, even the fish she shows them that the woman offered as a gift. The couple is questioning at this point. After a long talk between them they decide to venture out the next few days to see if they could get a look at this woman.

The next day they go out and happen upon Reader’s boat. In the exact spot Sam told them about. They watch as she goes about throwing the nets out, pulling them back up, and repeating this process over and over again. Both of them are captivated by her. She's beautiful for a human in their eyes.

She's soft and round unlike most merfolk. So different, so exhilarating. Just from afar they wish to touch her and caress her, to feel her up close. They stay for hours just watching her work.

They take note that before she leaves she places a pile of fish on a rock. Then she is off I'm the boat driving away.

The fish an obvious gift to their daughter.

They rip into the fish, all while hoping that she will return and they may have the opportunity to greet her.

The Twins Merman AU no one asked for - a concept.

[gemini-sensei]

Thinking about octopus mermaid!Reader who at a young age got separated from her parents and was found by merman!Daniel one day. She was just asleep on the floor of a sea cave, but hebdidnt want to wake her up because she looked so tired. However, she also looked a little sick as if she hadn't eaten in days, so he went hunting and brought her back some fish. She was still a fry, way to young to be left alone, let alone hunt for herself.

He decided to wait around for her parents to show up, but he's there for hours. Eventually she woke up and ate the fish he brought her, getting a little boost of energy but not too much. He asked her where her parents are and she just shrugged. She hadn't seen them for days, but didn't know how to tell him that. So he waited a little longer with her. It was the first time she'd seen anyone in a while, so she was a tad bit excited and wanted nothing more than to play games with him.

However, as the hours went on, he realized that he'd have to return home soon. His mate and daughter were likely worried about him and if he didn't leave at that moment, he'd never make it home before it was too dark to swim. But he also couldn't leave the little fry all alone. It's a miracle she's survived so long without her parents, who were still supposed to be providing her with food and protection.

When he decided to leave, she was all tuckered out again. So he scooped her up in his arms and promised to protect her no matter what, then took her home. It was a bit of a swim, but he managed to get there just before the sun set all the way.

Sam saw him from the front opening of their humble little cave, where she'd been waiting for him, and got super excited as she was just a guppy at the time. She swam to him as fast as her little tail would let her, screaming, "Daddy!"

This alerted Amanda to his return home and they both rushed out to to greet him. She had a lot of questions as to where he had been all day, which only got added to when she saw the little fry in his arms.

Reader was fast asleep, wrapped up in his arms. She also had him all wrapped up, with her arms around his neck and her tentacles around his waist. She was all curled up and cozy in his arms, too tired to even be woken up by the other mers talking over her head.

Amanda was concerned but Sam was confused. Daniel promised to explain everything when they got inside and the little fry was settled. So they went into their cave and Amanda had to keep Sam at bay because her excitement might have woken the sleeping, almost sickly fry. When Daniel tried to put Reader in a bed, she stuck to him with her little suction cups. He had to carefully pull her hold away from himnand get her covered up for the night.

The parents fed Sam, who had a little fit over having to eat her seaweed and kelp. She reluctantly ate as she pretended not to pay attentiont to her parents talk about the little fry and how she was all alone. It made Sam so upset that the pretty mermaid had been left all alone because she wouldn't know what to do if she were all alone. She slipped away from the table and went to the fry, laying with her and hugging her even though she was asleep.

Meanwhile, Amanda was heartbroken to think the fty's parents were likely hunted and killed by human hunters. Octopus mers are some of the strongest mers and they know how to avoid sharks, so human hunters were the likely reason the poor fry was all on her own.

She and Daniel decided to watch over her and he'd go out looking for her parents, but after a few days and nothing, not even anyone asking about her, they decided to keep Reader and raise her as their own. There was no way they were going to off load her onto anyone else and by that time, she and Sam were attached at the hip. So Reader became their second daughter and everyone was happy.

Happy Mermay! Mermaid Johnny meeting human Daniel and deciding to try to walk on land. Daniel finds a beautiful naked guy who doesn't seem to know how to use his legs or any of the fun parts and gets to teach him about the human world and all the pleasure. Mermaid Daniel meeting Johnny on a beach and deciding he wants that pretty creature, so maybe he lures him into the water, maybe he sings a song, maybe he calls out from the waves and Johnny's more than happy to run out because the guys handsome and hey knew friend who said they could play a game. Or maybe he's learning to surf or out swimming and hand grabs his ass or feels him up and at first he thinks it's a fish because it's gotta be a fish right? But it's hard to focus on a surfing class if somethings curiously poking around at his ass. Maybe he ends up finding a deserted piece of the beach and has sex with a merman and no one will ever believe him. But that's fine because any time he goes to the beach he's always happy to see his new friend and have sex in the sea or on the beach. (lol maybe that's his new favorite drink: sex on the beach)

IM SO SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO GET TO THIS😭💖 (I over thought it.)

(Also, take note that I’m applying a sort of abo esque thing to mermaids but it can be ignored.)

The thought of cute mermaid Johnny walking on wobbly legs and really acting like an Ariel. Blinking up at the cute boy who caught him and can’t stop looking at his legs—which he himself doesn’t understand are very nice and long.

Daniel showed him around, trying to understand why Johnny doesn’t seem all that familiar with the area despite being from Cali.

"I’m from around here; I just explore somewhere else more often."

What the hell does that even mean?

After spending the entire day together, going to random places, and Daniel talking Johnny’s ear off, explaining the things Johnny didn’t understand, Johnny told him he was interesting but a total square. Daniel had used the very little bit of cash he had to buy Johnny food at a bakery, watching in near awe the way Johnny shoved the croissant in his mouth like he’d never had anything that good before. He had to stop Johnny from grabbing more treats without paying—thankfully (aggravatingly), the old man behind the counter seemed to enjoy Johnny's little clothing enough to give him two free of charge.

They ended up at the beach again later that night, laying in the sand, Johnny’s head resting on Daniel’s shoulder, a cozy quiet between them for a while that had Daniel falling with slurred promises to see him again. Johnny sang to him, a sound that made Daniel feel a strange calm—waves of it washed over him as he drifted off.

Johnny was gone the next morning, and Daniel got a little worried—but he went back later, disappointed when he couldn’t see Johnny until he heard splashing in the water.

He assumed he was just swimming until he saw the tail, which was the cause of all that splashing. Johnny swam to him, then sat in the shallow water, looking apprehensive. "You aren’t going to tell anyone, right?"

Daniel was honestly too interested in the scaly tail. A nice blue-to-red that bleeds into pink and ends in a pretty lavender. He wanted to reach out and pet it.

"LaRusso?"

"I wouldn’t have told you my last name if I knew you’d never say my first.”

Johnny laughed, his cheeks red and slick from water—all of him is slick, actually, and it’s very distracting.

"Daniel…"

He freezes. He wants to hear it again.

"Daniel, you won’t tell anyone?"

Daniel breathes out, shaking his head. "Of course not."

Johnny gives a look of relief and tugs on Daniel’s arm. "Come in here."

"No, I don’t want my clothes to get wet. Just come out, sweetheart."

Johnny blushed at the petname, and crawled out.

Not even 10 minutes later, Johnny is straddling Daniel in the sand, squirming in Daniel’s lap while he kisses him. To be fair, Johnny was naked.

You just gonna keep your mouth open like that?"

Johnny flicked him in the head, huffing and crossing his arms. "You don’t have to kiss me—"

But Daniel wants to kiss him, and he does again, and again and again.

"Daniel," Johnny gasps when they part, "Touch me."

Daniel’s cock twitches; he’d honestly been hard since he saw Johnny again. He roams his eyes over him, having a difficult time picking where he wants to feel first, so he settles for leaning forward and burying his face in Johnny’s neck, touching Johnny everywhere he can reach in an almost frenzy.

Johnny arches and sighs happily, scratching Daniel’s scalp. "Touch me lower, come on. Show me what it feels like."

Daniel pulls back. "Are you?…."

"What?"

Daniel clears his throat. "Have you never been with anyone?”

Johnny’s brows furrow. "Of course I have! I just haven’t had these parts touched. I’ve tried a little, but it’s different. I don’t get wet down there like I do in my real form…"

Daniel’s mouth falls open, lips wet and puffy from all his kissing and mouthing.

Johnny gets a look on his face, cheeks glowing red, and stares at Daniel’s mouth.

Daniel has him on his back, those long pale legs thrown over his shoulders, while he rubs Johnny’s dick and sticks his tongue in Johnny’s sweet hole, pulling away every so often to suck Johnny’s tits instead.

He can’t shut up; he has to keep telling him how good he tastes and how perfect he is down there—the prettiest he’s ever seen—and he never wants to stop.

And after he made Johnny come all over them both, he expected nothing in return, but after Johnny got through his afterglow, he ordered Daniel to step up and gave him the best (and first) blow of his life.

——————————————————————————

(Mermaid Daniel instantly made me think: Squirmy mermaid dick 😭 but also👀)

Johnny was sitting on a small deck, feet submerged in the water, as he watched the water shimmer and tried to focus on the color instead of the anxiety in his stomach. He didn’t even know why; there were too many reasons for him to blame it on, but the last thing he wanted to do was tell someone—be a nuisance.

"Hi!"

Johnny flinched, whipping his head in the direction of the boy who yelled.

"Hi?"

"Whatcha doing out here?"

Nosey.

“What does it look like I’m doing?”

"Sitting."

“Yep.”

"Wow, interesting."

Johnny shrugged, looking back at the expanse of water and hoping the guy would take a hint. "You asked."

"I did, you seemed very…” gloomy “deep in thought. I’m Daniel, by the way."

Johnny sighed, looking down at Daniel again. He seems nice, despite Johnny’s snippiness. "Like the guy from Grease?"

Daniel rubbed the back of his neck, a bashful expression on his face. He’s handsome. "No one’s ever compared someone like me to him. I know you meant the name, though—"

"A guy like you?"

Daniel ducked his head. "Scrawny."

Johnny felt a twinge of something in his chest. An ache for another. The guy may not be buff, but he’s handsome. "You have that dark hair, and…" he looked him over for more "Uh, and your arms are really toned even though they’re skinny. " Why is he being so nice? "And you have more armpit hair than I could dream of having."

Daniel snorted, lowering his arm back down quickly. "Thanks, man."

There’s a comfortable silence for a moment. "Can I touch your hair?"

Johnny blinks at him. "Uh, why?"

"It’s all shiny and golden. Looks soft."

Johnny raised a brow, then leaned down and let him touch. Daniel smiles wide, his cute, crooked teeth on display. "Nice. You do some sort of hair care?"

Yes. "No…"

"Hm, good genes."

Johnny stared at the setting sun. It always looked like it was sinking in the water to Johnny. Burned out until the next day.

"Come into the water with me? It’s still light enough out."

Johnny didn’t see why not. He stripped down to his (too small) briefs, with Daniel staring up at him wide eyed before turning away with both hands covering his face. Johnny smirked, and jumped in.

When he broke back up from the water, Daniel was gone—at least he thought so until he felt what was unmistakably a finger poke his ass. He squeaked. "Dude?"

Daniel wraps his arms around Johnny, breaking back up from the water. "You’re the most precious human I’ve ever seen!"

Johnny shoves him slightly, and Daniel’s arms fall from him, doe eyes full of something dangerous, like he was fighting with himself on something.

He could steal Johnny away like a perfect pearl from a clam. But he’s not like that.

"Human? You an alien or something?"

Daniel shrugged. "Something like that. Who’s the nosey one now, sweetheart?"

Wait, he said that out loud earlier? And Sweet-hot: He likes that accent.

Johnny huffed, fighting the urge to do something girly like twirl his hair or ask him where he’s from. This guy probably just felt bad because he was alone; he doesn’t need to know his story. Maybe he should go.

He makes no move to do so.

Daniel started running his fingers through the water absentmindedly, soft sloshing filling the quiet as they drifted close to each other. Johnny likes the way his hands look: blunt nailed and long. He likes that he hasn’t left yet.

they drifted closer, the water carrying them towards one another.

They bumped into each other, and their lips met. He didn't regret it at all, not when Daniel was holding him like that. He’s a little bit eager, practically vacuuming Johnny’s mouth, but even that made Johnny feel nice. But then he felt something that definitely wasn’t legs against his.

He pushed Daniel away, reaching down and flinching when his hand met a tail.

"Surprise?"

Johnny stares at him. "What the fuck?"

Daniel sighs, looking at the deeper waters. He was being very reckless here—his Ma would be disappointed, but….beautiful human boys . "I can show you a few tricks if you want. If you won't tell anyone."

Johnny doesn’t think it can get weirder. He nodded, watching Daniel swim, tail splashing—it’s all far too fluid to be something he isn’t used to doing.

So….mermen exist, pretty neat.

Johnny was, in fact, very impressed with Daniel’s tricks—all his diving and leaping. Even better than watching the seals in San Diego laze around, who all congregate together on this big rock. He’d always imagine leaving his mother’s side and joining them; it must be a relaxing life.

Those silly tricks of his got Daniel a big smile and a lot more.

Johnny had him get on the deck with him, offered him his jeans, and waved Daniel off when he worried about Johnny walking around without them. "I like wearing shorts anyway."

daniel had raised a brow at him. "Those are shorter than shorts, but…" His clothes were so far away. "Okay, I’ll take em."

They didn’t go far, just over to one of the big rocks close by, and sat against it for the remaining light of the day.

He let Daniel lay him against the sand and kiss him again, let him pull his briefs down his legs.

Let him grope and lick wherever he wanted, then let him fuck him too. He’s so gentle with Johnny, like he’s fine china and not the bull. Maybe he’s both, people like to break him.

he’s the china, pretending to be the bull.

But blessedly, he was distracted from his thoughts when Daniel pulled out and came on his stomach.

He was disappointed he hadn’t done it inside him. He scooped some up with his fingers, and licked them clean. Daniel watched, dick trying to harden again, before he snapped out of it. “No, don’t swallow!”

Johnny flinched: was Daniel mad at him? Did he do something wrong. “I…I already did. I’m sorry—“

Daniel waved his hands, looking worried. “You didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just, um” he mumbles something.

“What was that?”

“My semen,” they both cringe at that word “Works kinda like a drug. It’ll make you want to keep going until you can’t anymore. Common knowledge to us.”

Johnny thought it had to be a joke. He’d never read that in any old tale. “What are you—Oh.”

Suddenly his whole body was hot, like it was 120 degrees and the only hydration he needed was Daniel’s dick. He stared at it, feeling too empty. “Please, let me have more, Daniel, pleasepleaseplease—“

“Woah, honey. It’s okay, come ‘ere.”

Johnny practically tackled him, one hand on Daniel’s arm, and the other wrapping around Daniel cock—jerking it fast. “Gimme it, please. Need it back inside, need more.”

Daniel is but a merman, and it was him that caused Johnny to get like that; he gave him more and didn’t stop until sunrise.

Daniel never planned on that being the last time he saw Johnny, and Johnny felt the same.

They meet every night, and it wasn’t long before they became official unofficially.

Daniel was clumsy in his human form, constantly running into things and tripping over his feet like a dork. He assures Johnny that it has nothing to do with having a fish tail for almost the entirety of his life.

They also go to the beach so often, a habit Daniel had much given up besides allowing himself a swim every so often because it was irritating to find a time of day where people wouldn’t see him and he’d been so distracted by the brand new place after he and Lucille moved to land, but it always felt like something was wrong when he stopped swimming. Johnny got him to start doing it more. Usually they’d go later in the day, so Daniel doesn't have to wait too long to swim. Walk on the beach with their arms linked, feeling the heat on their skin and eating the ice cream cones melting in their hands as fast as they could. Daniel could watch Johnny in the water for hours and cherish every knick knack Johnny brought back to him—as if he hasn’t seen sand dollars and shells 100 times before.

But right when that time comes around where it’s safe to change, Johnny’s grabbing his hand and telling him to get the hell up and get his merman time, it’s important.

My boyfriend is a mermaid

by daisiess

It was seemed as if it was incredibly stupid at this point, sure, it seemed unrealistic and none of johnny’s friends would even think or assume for one second that johnny lawrence’s boyfriend “Daniel” was a mermaid.

2, Buku Buku Cha; 3 & 4, any fic; 7, Cherry Cordial. Love ya! <3

Hello anon! Thank you for sending me these! 💖 I had the first and last question done pretty fast but because I’ve written well over 1,162,952 words for TKK/CK, 3&4 for any fic took me quite a while to pick, not just because my brain completely refused to give me any immediate answers like how you know what music and songs you like until someone asks 🤣 but also just because there’s so much to sift through and decide which ones let alone then finding the actual quotes. So thank you for your patience. Buku Buku Cha: 2 What scene did you first put down? I started at the beginning when writing (Johnny waking up in the hospital with amnesia and the entire thing be confusing on purpose) but the scene that I first got in my head that made me want to write the piece and hasn't been written yet, it’s based on a piece of old art, and will be towards the end.

3 What’s your favorite line of narration? (Any fic)  I’m sure I’ve got several, but really Konpeitō has a lot, I love Daniel’s confusion and his translation failures.

The emergency warning system also served food. How ingenious.

Maybe part of being a black belt in karate meant fighting strong flavors into submission.

But at the same time I love silly monster times Like frozen merman suffering Newark cold in California Roll:

Johnny grumbled something and Daniel lifted up the collar of his sweater looking down at the blonde.

4 What’s your favorite line of dialogue? (Any fic)

There’s so many but I’ll stick to Root Beer Floats &Green Tea, all the convos with the cobras, Mr. Miyagi, stuff like this

"At the amount of debt I owe my ghost is going to still be in kissing debt."

"If I was a betting man I'd bet on Daniel LaRusso every single time."

"Your heart is the best thing I ever won."

I don’t remember if this ever made it into the final published ao3 version but I did share it in the extras here from RBF&GT’s cut scenes and rewrites, I do love this conversation:

“Oh god,” Bobby groaned grabbing the blanket and pulling it up over his head. “If you’re praying over there oh holy father, pray for my hangover,” Dutch said.

Cherry Cordial: 7: Where did the title come from?

These. So I actually started Cherry Cordial before I started Semifreddo but I got stuck for a title. Since Johnny was going to be a love witch I needed it to be a "romantic" food and I wanted it to be a sweet but I didn't know which one and I spent hours and hours looking through romantic foods and digging out my resource boos and just sort of kept struggling to find something that fit. And then I remembered these. So they're cherries in a liquor dipped in chocolate, sometimes there's a bit of cream in them too. And they're perfect, there's alcohol and they're messy and they're sweet but kind of bitter that can overpower it at first and it just sort of fits the fic. Because it's messy and bitter and a little dark and it'll be a bit before it gets sweet.

Lawrusso - Mermaid AU

Happy Mermay!

This was requested none other than my lovely sister!

[rosesradio]

for the @allvalley100 prompt Gamble (this takes place somewhere vaguely in my merman au)

“What are the odds,” Johnny whispers, fingers running through Daniel’s hair, mesmerized by him. “That we can make this work?”

“I don’t know,” Daniel replies, loosely paying attention as he kisses Johnny slow, before moving his lips to Johnny’s neck. Daniel was really only interested in human culture and Johnny. “Not a lot of gambling where I’m from.”

Johnny snorts. Yeah, he couldn’t imagine mermen doing a round of poker with cigars.

“Well,” Johnny grins as Daniel finds his lips again. “Care to take a chance on me?”

Daniel beams, and he’s slotted so perfectly between Johnny’s legs, entangled in his sheets, that Johnny couldn’t imagine a better bet.

[gemini-sensei]

Ahhh! 👀👀👀 the ideas that popped into my head with this one...

But my first thought was immediately the next time they see the fisher, they get the chance to approach. They make sure there are no other boats around because as far as they are concerned, the other fishermen won't be as kind as this one.

And when they greet her, Reader is caught off guard but she's so happy. She knew merfolk were real! She just knew it! But then they tell her that their daughter was the one caught in her net and she starts profusely apologizing to them for the mistake.

And they think it's rather cute and sweet of her.

She stays there for hours talking to them, fascinated. She completely forgot about fishing but Daniel and Amanda keep the fish she's already caught wet. They splash her bounty ever so often to keep them fresh for her whilst they distract her with conversation. They're also shamelessly checking her out 🤭😏

Omg @gemini-sensei I'm thinking about Poly! Mer!Daniel and Mer!Amanda who falls for a lone fishermen woman.

Reader believes in mermaids and mermen even though all the other fishing boats don't. She believes that are out in the California waters. She doesn't care if they don't believe her, be just has a feeling they are out there.

One day she has to go farther out, pushing the boundaries of the fishing border. The tides are pushing out huge schools of fish. And she definitely needs the money. So she drives out to a more secluded area she has heard talk about. Known for being more quiet and packed with fish.

She's out for hours trying to bag some fish. Throwing multiple nets. She's lucky enough to get just over her normal catch.

She grins as she starts to haul up her last fill net of the day before she heads back to the docks. Hoping to sell off her load by mid-day.

But then suddenly her net feels heavy, way heavier than it should for just some fish. She fusses with the net trying to get it back into her tiny boat. Her back aches as she pulls.

Then as she pulls it up something slaps out of the water inside the net. Hitting her hand and flailing about.

It's a giant purple and amber tail fin!

She instantly drops the net and falls back into the boat. Her but meeting the hardwood of the boat floor. She's so taken aback but she gets up and looks down at where the net fell. She has no idea what going on but she knows something is wrong. She'd quick to pull out her pocket knife and hack away at her net. She sadly sacrifices one of her nets to free whatever creature is stuck in her net. As she cuts she feels terrible, accidentally snagging the poor thing.

Once the net is cut wide open the creature makes a break and goes straight down into the dark waters below. Not even attempting to surface. Reader is stuck standing there for a few minutes. In complete shock about what just unfolded. She didn't get a good look but she knows that she just witnessed SOMETHING unknown.

After a few minutes she finally gets herself back together.

She grabs a few of her fish, ones that are definitely gone by this point. She places them on some near by rocks in a pile. On clear display. She shouts out to no one in particular.

“I'm so sorry for getting you hooked up and stuck in my net! I hope I didn't hurt you by accident, I didn't know you were down there. I'll try not to do it again. But be aware because of the tides going out more people are coming out here to fish. There will be more nets out here with en the week! Please take my offering as an apology gift! I'm sorry once again!”

Once she retrieves her ruined net she heads back in to the docks.

She doesn't even notice Sam who picks at the pike of fish. Ripping into one before taking the rest back home to her parents. Who she later explains what happened.

Daniel and Amanda are upset at first, at the fact their daughter was out in the open water but also the fact she ended up caught in a net. But when Sam explains the woman apologized and even warned her of the threat of more fishing boats, even the fish she shows them that the woman offered as a gift. The couple is questioning at this point. After a long talk between them they decide to venture out the next few days to see if they could get a look at this woman.

The next day they go out and happen upon Reader’s boat. In the exact spot Sam told them about. They watch as she goes about throwing the nets out, pulling them back up, and repeating this process over and over again. Both of them are captivated by her. She's beautiful for a human in their eyes.

She's soft and round unlike most merfolk. So different, so exhilarating. Just from afar they wish to touch her and caress her, to feel her up close. They stay for hours just watching her work.

They take note that before she leaves she places a pile of fish on a rock. Then she is off I'm the boat driving away.

The fish an obvious gift to their daughter.

They rip into the fish, all while hoping that she will return and they may have the opportunity to greet her.

Now I’m thinking about Mermaid!Big Sister!Sam🥹

Thinking about octopus mermaid!Reader who at a young age got separated from her parents and was found by merman!Daniel one day. She was just asleep on the floor of a sea cave, but hebdidnt want to wake her up because she looked so tired. However, she also looked a little sick as if she hadn't eaten in days, so he went hunting and brought her back some fish. She was still a fry, way to young to be left alone, let alone hunt for herself.

He decided to wait around for her parents to show up, but he's there for hours. Eventually she woke up and ate the fish he brought her, getting a little boost of energy but not too much. He asked her where her parents are and she just shrugged. She hadn't seen them for days, but didn't know how to tell him that. So he waited a little longer with her. It was the first time she'd seen anyone in a while, so she was a tad bit excited and wanted nothing more than to play games with him.

However, as the hours went on, he realized that he'd have to return home soon. His mate and daughter were likely worried about him and if he didn't leave at that moment, he'd never make it home before it was too dark to swim. But he also couldn't leave the little fry all alone. It's a miracle she's survived so long without her parents, who were still supposed to be providing her with food and protection.

When he decided to leave, she was all tuckered out again. So he scooped her up in his arms and promised to protect her no matter what, then took her home. It was a bit of a swim, but he managed to get there just before the sun set all the way.

Sam saw him from the front opening of their humble little cave, where she'd been waiting for him, and got super excited as she was just a guppy at the time. She swam to him as fast as her little tail would let her, screaming, "Daddy!"

This alerted Amanda to his return home and they both rushed out to to greet him. She had a lot of questions as to where he had been all day, which only got added to when she saw the little fry in his arms.

Reader was fast asleep, wrapped up in his arms. She also had him all wrapped up, with her arms around his neck and her tentacles around his waist. She was all curled up and cozy in his arms, too tired to even be woken up by the other mers talking over her head.

Amanda was concerned but Sam was confused. Daniel promised to explain everything when they got inside and the little fry was settled. So they went into their cave and Amanda had to keep Sam at bay because her excitement might have woken the sleeping, almost sickly fry. When Daniel tried to put Reader in a bed, she stuck to him with her little suction cups. He had to carefully pull her hold away from himnand get her covered up for the night.

The parents fed Sam, who had a little fit over having to eat her seaweed and kelp. She reluctantly ate as she pretended not to pay attentiont to her parents talk about the little fry and how she was all alone. It made Sam so upset that the pretty mermaid had been left all alone because she wouldn't know what to do if she were all alone. She slipped away from the table and went to the fry, laying with her and hugging her even though she was asleep.

Meanwhile, Amanda was heartbroken to think the fty's parents were likely hunted and killed by human hunters. Octopus mers are some of the strongest mers and they know how to avoid sharks, so human hunters were the likely reason the poor fry was all on her own.

She and Daniel decided to watch over her and he'd go out looking for her parents, but after a few days and nothing, not even anyone asking about her, they decided to keep Reader and raise her as their own. There was no way they were going to off load her onto anyone else and by that time, she and Sam were attached at the hip. So Reader became their second daughter and everyone was happy.
