I hear your call [P3] ⋅˚₊‧ ଳ
i actually got A LOT of asks saying i should do something with siren reader having legs ?!?! did u guys band together to make me do this... summary: sevika takes you out places you've never been and shows her gentleness also a bit of a song at the end (its so fun pls)
masterlist , 2.3k , kind of suggestive? , part 2
Eventually, you did fall asleep in Sevikas tub (really the inn's). I mean, how could you not? She somehow managed to fill it with the perfect temperature and dimmed the lights just for you, making sure you settled in perfectly.
You awoke to her flicking on the big light in the early morning, hissing at the intrusion. But your motions were halted when you looked up to see her form clad in tight shorts and an almost-all-the-way unbuttoned white shirt, the sleeves rolled up past her forearms.
It was rare to see her without her intricate straps, hat, and weapons strapped to her waist, so you definitely took in this sight while you still could.
"I need to get you back to the water. Can't stay in this tub forever," She spoke, settling her hands on her hips.
"Mmm, says who?" You closed your eyes and sank deeper into the water.
"Says my dabloons, can't afford to be stayin' another night."
You suddenly remember your previous kidnapping and Sevika's heroic work (that resulted in a lot of money being spent). You shot her an apologetic look before she laughed a hearty laugh and leaned on the sink.
"I'm joking. Just dont want you out of the sea longer than you need be. Heard it makes mer-people sick," She mumbled the last part.
"Where'd you hear that?" You cocked an eyebrow at her, who was now fixing her dark hair in the mirror.
"I read it—"
"Read it? Pirates can read?" Now it was your turn to laugh.
She got flustered and blubbered out a, "Supposing you even know what a book is."
You laughed at her statement and said, "Well, did you read I need not be in water at all?"
She shook her head, still groggy from her sleep, "Hell are you talking about?"
You tilted your head to your tail— or where it should have been.
What. The. Fuck.
Her eyes widened, and she stepped over to the tub, eyeing your knees sticking out of the water. "Where— where did it go."
You laughed before explaining how, after a while of being in regular water without salt, you were able to develop human legs. This only lasted until you made long‐term contact with salt water again.
To Sevika's shock, you stood up confidently and stumbled at the slipperiness of the tub, water making it hard to maneuver. She reached out to grab you as you yelped, grunting as she held you up, helping you out of the tub. Water dripped onto the floor, and she looked down to realize that it wasn't just legs that you had.
She grunted and looked away over your head, attempting to clear her thoughts. Her thick hand rested on your now non-scaled hip, and her metal one was placed carefully on her arm, trying to keep you as far as she could without dropping you.
"I haven't stood on legs in a while, sorry."
She nodded, "Yeah. I noticed," She commented sarcastically, "Need to get you clothed."
You felt little to no embarrassment about your unclothed state and hummed at her words, starting to walk to the door of the bathroom.
She sighed at your eagerness and kept a hand on your back as you walked, tightening her grip whenever you stumbled. Sitting you down on the bed, she pointed a finger at you as if ordering you to stay.
You obeyed and watched her shuffle through her previously worn clothes, assuming she had no other clothes. (What she is wearing right now is definitely her under clothes..) She grimaced and held up quite a large white poet shirt in your direction.
You shrugged, "That works."
She tossed it to you, and the scent of cigars and salt wafted from the shirt. You threw it on haphazardly, and it covered enough to look like a short dress. "I don't have any pants or shoes—"
She stopped mid sentence when she turned to look at you and cleared her throat, "We'll go to the markets."
You nodded, assuming the market was somewhere you could get clothes. She stepped over to you, multiple straps and belts in hand, "I'll make it look as put together as possible," she mumbled.
Her hands skillfully strapped belts around your torso, making the shirt appear as though it fit properly. She made sure it still hung low on your hips, covering the fact you lacked undergarments.
You weren't so open to the idea of going out into public when you were previously almost sold off. You feared the peoples faces and evil eyes, staring you down. The memories of the cold cage were resurfacing in your mind, but you were quickly pulled out of your thoughts by Sevika.
She now stood at the door to the hall, tilting her head questioningly. She had already gotten dressed and motioned for you to follow her, "C'mon, you can take ten steps."
You rolled your eyes and walked over to her, although like a newborn deer, you still managed. She had a hand on your lower back, supporting you down the hall and just about carrying you as you walked down the stairs.
She sensed your discomfort at the fact that you had no shoes, and the hard wood of the floor wasn't helping your inability to walk. She bent over and snatched up a pair of boots from beside a random man and tossed them into your arms.
"Hey, what the fuck?"
She turned back to glare at him, "Maybe put them on your fucking feet next time."
Her voice was horse and intimidating in the face of any man, lacking the gentleness she previously had with you.
He gritted his teeth and got up to spew his complaints to the keeper. You watched in disbelief before Sevika elbowed you gently in your back, "Lets go."
Before you could say anything else, she was pushing you out the door, boots still in your arms. "Put them on before we go further."
You eyed the rough concrete stairs that were your only option to sit on. Looking up at her, you smiled crookedly. She ran her hand down her face, realizing you didn't want your legs to make contact with the roughness. But without another word, she got on one knee, other thigh level with your knees so you could sit.
Her sword sheathe scraped the ground as she kneeled, leather boot thudding on the ground behind her. Not letting you protest she pulled you by the shirt down onto her leg, taking the boots out of your hands.
Your hands stayed in your lap as she pulled your legs out to cover your feet with the boots. Although she struggled a bit to put shoes on another person she still did so as soft as possible, feeling as if your legs were frail.
You kept your eyes on her face as she did so, eyeing the scar on her face and lip before she spoke, "It has to do for now. I'll get you out of them soon."
..
Although it was a struggle, you both made it to the market. Even though you had gotten more used to legs heavy boots, weighing down your feet and tiredness made your legs sore. But upon seeing the bright colors of the market, smelling the scent of fresh pastries and fruit, and hearing pleasing music you almost immediately perked up.
Sevika noticed your change in demeanor and smirked, "Never been here, huh?"
You nodded rapidly and almost ran to a stand that had bright and scarves with intricate patterns. The shop owner immediately started to talk you up. "This color would be so beautiful with your hair, miss." She wrapped a blue scarf around your shoulders.
Sevika walked up behind you as you looked at your reflection in the small mirror, turning this way and that. You hummed in satisfaction before starting to waltz away. Sevika grabbed you by the back of the scarf, "Nope, you gotta pay."
"Ummm.." You looked up at her with confusion.
"No money, no scarf," She took it from your shoulders and set it back on the stand, grinning.
You huffed and crossed your arms, looking around at other stalls. She grabbed your shoulder with one hand and moved your face with the other, pointing it into the direction of a far away stand. "Only the necessities."
She started in the direction, and you quickly grabbed onto her arm to trail after her. Approaching the stand with shelves that held shoes, Sevika held up a pair, as if asking if they were to your liking.
You grimaced at the style and started to look for yourself. Grabbing delicacy styled shoes, you showed them to Sevika. She smiled softly and shook her head at your choice but put down a few coins for the owner anyway.
She reluctantly would let you drag her to every stall you wanted to look at, putting up with your curiosity. She knew she wouldn't have patience like this for anyone else.
When you put on something pretty and looked to her for approval, she would give you a satisfied look. But still refused to buy you anything unnecessary.
Sevika eventually got you a long skirt that was flowy and hung almost to the ground. It almost mimicked your tail in its motions as you walked, she smiles at the reminder.
When you asked questions about the odd trinkets, she would pick them up and show you how it worked. A music box looked small and delicate in her hold, and the soft melody coming from within made you smile brightly.
You swayed a bit to the music, holding her hands up to your ear so you could hear it better. She couldn't do much but stare wide-eyed at the sight of you blissfully giggling at the music.
As you started off to another stall, she quickly dropped a few coins in front of the seller and shoved the music box in her pocket.
When it neared noon, she took you to eat at a food stand, handing you a few kabobs of different meats and veggies. You munched on them happily, sharp teeth tearing into the meat easily. (Noted.)
She definitely took you to try her favorites because all you eat is probably fish. She takes in the sight of you sighing at the flavors and shoving more into your mouth.
You guys bond over food..
It was now nearing night, the sun set far in to the west. The small amount of darkness was illuminated by candles and lanterns scattered around the area. You could see women gossiping together over some tea and bread, men slinging one another around in joke, kids chasing each other with small creatures. This was one of which a sight you'd never seen.
You gawked, never having viewed humanity in this way, only seeing people that inhabited the seas you could have never guessed how average civilians behaved. The night now no longer seemed so fierce, holding no malice like the previous night.
Sevika approached you to put a hand on your shoulder. She was proud to show you things you had never experienced. She would show you as much of the land as you wanted if you just asked.
Pulling you away from the crowd, she led you to a cliff that overlooked the ocean. Your position closely mimicking the day you met her, Sevika sat on a rock with you beside her. Her metal hand rested on your hip comfortably. You talked about your adventures of the day, the things you liked, and the people you met.
"Thank you for this, I never thought I'd be happy to reside on land."
She grunted in response and pulled a small box from her pocket, a music box. You gasped and took it from between her fingers, shocked she had really gotten it for you.
You winded the small handle before releasing it to hear the familiar melody, bringing back your memories of the day. Looking up to see Sevika, her expression was so loving and gentle, a face you've never seen on her before. Her eyes were illuminated by the dim sunset, emphasizing her contentment.
You smiled before you parted your lips, and betwixt came a song,
link to it (i highly reccomend, it sets the mood)
"Upon one summer's morning, I carefully did stray
Down by the Walls of Wapping, where I met a sailor gay
Conversing with a young lass who seem'd to be in pain
Saying, "William, when you go, I fear you'll ne'er return again"
My heart is pierced by Cupid
I disdain all glittering gold
There is nothing can console me
But my jolly sailor bold"
She listened blissfully, taking in the fact that your songs had no effect on her. Your beautiful voice hummed in her ears, and she looked into the sea, engraving this memory into her mind.
She could see her ship from where you sat, the wind blowing into the sail softly, yanking on the rope that tied it to the dock. Yes, she was going to take you anywhere you wanted to go. This much was set in stone.
After this, she dragged you to the ship with her crew and invited you to join her, obviously you said yes.
She's very happy to have someone to accompany her on her journeys. She isnt so bitter and lonely now thats for sure
And yes, you still get to swim in the water. A lot of the crew doesn't know your siren side, so Sevika tosses you into the water at night, letting the glimmer of your scales lead her ship.
During the day, you will follow alongside the ship, making sure none of the crew can see you, but Sevika does.
Sometimes, she gets distracted by you and goes off route a bit.
I like to think she can't really swim, so you try to teach her whenever you get a chance, and she always ends up clinging to you as you tease her.
She shows you mountains, forests, architecture, (bars), etc. And you love every moment of it.
Also, she replaced the mermaid on the front of her ship with a mermaid carved to look like you. And no, she didn't pay for it to be done. She did it herself.
Whilst she stood on a ladder she watched you frolic in the waves, making sure to carve every curve and detail she found beautiful.
Although, there wasn't one part of you she didn't find beautiful.
the end felt a bit rushed but im bad at endings, i might do some other side fics for this but thank you for the support on this fic! also i thought it was funny how @lovinglywriting sent me an ask about something sooo similar to what i was writing while i was mid fic lol and @slut4sevika send in a sweet ask tysm <33

Gift-piece for @ghosts-of-rishi for some ideas we were playing around with. Fives discovering Echo is alive but possibly even more cursed than they already were.
They say there’s no good that can come from making deals with the Piper, but what Jango’s after is hardly what most people’d call ‘good’.
(Featuring Cursed!Jango, who went looking for a son in the wrong places, made a deal with a sea-god, double-crossed said sea-god, and now has three million cursed children.)
“Flesh and blood, you said,” the sea-witch taunted, gloated, condemned. And they are, they are — Jango’s split up, every bit of him, flesh and blood he never even had, divided between every blessed child — but no amount of clever carving of meat can account for a soul, and that’s the real curse. It is not Jango, not Jango alone, who is caged within the unnatural ribs and skull and pounding veins. “Watch them grow, fool; nurture them.” The sea-witch sentenced, and Jango does, he does; silently screaming, unable to separate himself from a single one, unable to sleep even when they sleep, too split up in too many inhuman ways to speak or think beyond wishing it was over… but they know he’s there, and speak to him sometimes. He can hear them cursing, over three million souls better left dead at the bottom of the seas, plucked and borrowed and wiped clean with new flesh sewn together. Why didn’t you leave us be? One is sobbing because he knows he should be dead and they say that’s as good as being at peace, and he is neither of those things.
His children are his spitting image, but they have old, old eyes and no memories of how they came to be that way, and there are three million of them — and not a soul that ever knew Jango Fett before — before — before — can explain it. He watches them all try through six million eyes.

Nana being a seal for mermay is so good and makes me think about selkies and how they need to guard their shapeshifting enabling skins, lest someone steal it and force them to be their betrothed. Makes sense with nana’s guarded nature before Jack came along…
Whoops. Rocky went overboard with a Red Beans focused ask again because of the pirate AU.
(When the girl you've been crushing on and hanging out in secret away from the rest of the pirate crew you are the cabin boy for is showing big neon signs she wants to marry you)

Decided that after a month and a half of holding on to a mishanks mer au that I made up during a literal fever dream I’m going to finally post the basic details of it here (I also wrote this right after I woke up from the dream so…)
vv here it is vv
The Roger Pirates are some of the merfolk, with Roger (obviously) being the king of the sea, so that would make both Shanks and Buggy princes’
Shanks would be around 19/20, and the little guy is VERY friendly and curious, he wants to know all about the human world
A fishermen ship sails by in the area once every couple of days (I actually have no idea how fishing works so uhh) and the crew would be Beck, Yassop, Lucky, and LimeJuice, and one day Shanks gets curious enough to just…pull himself up onto the boat
I haven’t thought about who would find him first, but they would see him just rummaging around in their stuff as he tried to figure out just what said objects did and all that
The guys discuss what to do with this fucking MERMAN bc he seems friendly, but what if he’s just tricking them??? This theory almost seemed to have a bit of weight to it when Shanks starts to yank on Beck’s leg as if trying to pull him down, but once they all realize he’s just trying to get their attention so that they could hand him more objects to look at they all go “oh never mind he’s alright”
This routine happens every single time they go out sailing, which means the guys would realize that Shanks MUST live close by, right? He wouldn’t swim all the way out here just to hang out with them, would he? (He does live close by, but he would 100% swim that far just to say hello)
After many, many visits Shanks finds himself aboard once again, but this time his tail gets snagged on something which causes him to cry out in pain, getting the attention of the guys and they realize they have to give him medical attention…
But none of them really know how the hell to give medical attention to a merman, so they say fuck it and bring him back to land
They cover him up with a loose shirt and a blanket as they bring him to the local doctor (Hongo) and the conversation goes something like:
Beck: fix his tail
Hongo: this is a fish
LJ: hey! He’s part human!
Hongo: and the part you want me to fix is the fish part
Beck: just fucking stitch him up
Once Shanks is put down on the medical table of course the little guy is skittish, but he’s able to be calmed down and given nerve numbing meds so that his tail could be fixed
Once Shanks is fixed up and taken back to the ocean for a little rehydration, Beck is forced to explain to Hongo just how they have a merman with them, and Hongo is just🧍the entire time
Back at sea the others talk and then quickly realize “hold on wait a minute we never heard this fish guy speak before” so they talk TO Shanks and the little guy is just kinda like “:3?”
And that’s when they realize that Shanks just doesn’t understand a single word they’re saying, but they can tell he’s just happy to be included so they continue to talk to him and tell him stories about the fun times they’ve had (it’s really just a trip down memory lane for the guys)
Eventually it gets late and Shanks understands humans enough to know that they have to go to sleep soon so he swims back to his home
Obviously their meetings keep happening, until one day their ship gets a bit busted and they can’t go out to sea, but Shanks doesn’t know that and starts to worry and he swims to the docks to see if he can spot any of the crew
Beck, the only guy with a brain (he does not get paid enough in any universe), gets Shanks’ attention and tries his best to explain the situation to him…but eventually says “fuck it” and just takes Shanks to their boat so that he could see it for himself
After a while Shanks seems to get the message and calms down, but he doesn’t want to go back home so he just hangs out with Beck as the ship gets repaired. As Beck is just going on about whatever, it’s not like Shanks can understand him anyway, Shanks cuts him off with an enthusiastic “hi!” Beck, taken aback, goes “excuse me” which causes Shanks to happily repeat himself
With this newfound information (Shanks CAN learn “human tongue”) Beck decides to try and teach him some words (better him than the other guys, who would definitely just teach him swear words and probably some fuckass gibberish). Shanks proves himself to be a quick learner picking up the few words Beck taught him with ease, but his tongue and mouth still seem to have trouble actually getting the words out so he speaks pretty slow
Cut to when the ship is fixed and the guys are back at sea, their favorite little guy joins them on board and is just very happy to be around everyone again!
Yassop then almost has a heart attack when he hears Shanks go “happy to see you!”
Beck gets a good laugh out of the situation before he explains to everyone that Shanks can understand what they’re saying a little bit and can speak a few words in response (well, really it’s just Shanks telling them how much he likes them but shhh)
As time continues Shanks slowly starts to learn more words and starts to actually participate in conversation, and slowly he can start telling them what life is like underwater in the sea kingdom (called the “Grand Kingdom” in place for the Grand Line). He’s obviously very excited to tell his friends what his home is like bc it feels like he can ‘pay them back’ in some sort of way — as a ‘thank you for telling me about your home! Lemme tell you about mine!’
Now because I am Very Normal about mishanks…
Mihawk would be a mer in this au, keeping his title as the ‘Marine Hunter’ (now it’s a pun) as he is the best hunter in all the sea, and because of this he is basically a bodyguard for the royal family. He’s still a swordsman but instead of a regular blade it is a swordfish’s snout (the pointy part)
The moment Mihawk was brought in Shanks took a liking to him and because of it Mihawk had no choice but to teach the friendly little guy the way of the sword, and he is surprisingly delighted when he quickly finds out that Shanks is naturally skilled and has the potential to keep up with him. Because of this they still have their daily duels like they do in canon, learning new moves and pushing each other to become stronger every day
One day while on his way out for a hunt Mihawk gets stopped by Shanks and asks to come along, which Mihawk agrees but says something like “I know you’re strong but just keep yourself out of the way.” They both head out and not far from the kingdom’s perimeter they’re greeted with a kraken which immediately puts them both on edge because what is THAT doing so close to their home?
Mihawk does his best to defend Shanks but the kraken managed to give the redheaded prince a deep cut to his left arm before Mihawk is able to slice off the tendril and make it retreat. Once they were sure it was gone they rush back to the palace ((or maybe it would make more sense if it was a castle, I haven’t decided)) so that Shanks could have his arm treated (neither of their healing magic is strong enough to heal this big of a cut yet), and so that Mihawk can inform the rest of the royal family of what took place
With everything explained, Roger, Rayleigh, and Shakky all agree that this needed to be looked in to IMMEDIATELY. Shakky goes out to summon some of their forces to scope out the area, and Rayleigh leaves to go grab certain supplies while Roger explains the plan on how to keep Shanks safe (since everyone believes it was a targeted attack): Shanks and Mihawk are being sent up to the surface
Mihawk, wary, has no choice but to comply. He leaves the throne room to go and fetch Shanks who was all patched up, bringing him back to his father. Roger goes over the plan with Shanks and he is completely on board with it, excited even — he wants to fully explore the surface world now that he’s getting the chance!
Once Rayleigh comes back with the supplies needed to preform the magic that will be used, and after Shanks says his goodbyes, he and the two younger mers leave to go up to the closest beach so that the spell could be casted. Once everything is set up Rayleigh does what’s needed to be done and in just a few moments both Mihawk and Shanks have legs to walk around on land. (Although they still have their neck gills and the frills around their ears those details are small/unnoticeable enough that they don’t pose any threat of being caught)
Rayleigh gives the two some clothes so that they could get dressed and hands Shanks a pouch of human currency so that they could actually pay for things, and also a small pouch of pure gold ‘just in case’. The two younger mers say their goodbye to Rayleigh before he dives back into the water, with coordinates in hand to where they’ll be staying they venture out on to the civilized area of the surface world for the first time. And Shanks’ first stop? Going out to find his human friends
—
One specific detail that does need to be mentioned is that Shanks has a necklace that is extremely important solely because of the charms. The first charm looks like a normal clam shell, but if you place a drop of human blood and a drop of mer blood on to it and then the mer consumes that mix they’ll be able to understand that human’s language for a few hours; the next charm is a small snail shell and this just works as a transponder like in canon (sort of, as no snail is included); finally is a piece of coral that is basically just an SOS button — if rapidly pressed it will ping both Roger and Rayleigh Shanks’ current location
‘Mermaid magic’ definitely exists and can be used to give merfolk legs (think of it as medication; take some of the potion every so often to keep your legs; this specific spell also allows the mer to speak whatever language that the blood is from ((if the blood of someone whose first language is Spanish then that is the language the mer can fully understand)). Humans could learn mer magic if they were taught, but only ‘divination’ (observation haki) and a specific branch of ‘transformation magic’ (armament haki)
Mer magic includes:
•healing
•divination
•transformation (a couple of branches exist; organic transformation or object/tool transformation (again, the second one is just armament haki))
•soul/will magic (conqueror’s haki) ((I don’t like the name but I don’t know what else to call it))
•weather manipulation (requires strong magic to preform, which means that really only the royals can use it)

Ooh ooh, mer-Dream/pirate-Hob 2?
Hi TJ! I added a small snippet of Part 2 over here but have another one 😄
“Poseidon would understand my plight,” Dream says. “I have not swum freely in ages, and to be so close to the sea and yet unable to touch it, even for my own safety is…maddening.” “Ah,” Hob replies, understanding creeping into his voice. “You want to take a swim then, should’ve said so earlier,” he adds with a laugh. “Do not mock me,” Dream growls, feeling anger rise within him. Had he been wrong in his assessment of Hob after all? Was he just another foolish human, immortal as he was, that did not understand the thoughts and feelings of those not like him? “I’m not, I promise,” Hob replies, holding his hands up placatingly, an apologetic smile crossing his face. “I only meant that it's no trouble for us. In fact, we're running low on meat, so I'll need to fish tomorrow anyways. Would you like to join me?”

Some merfolk WIPS (let's pretend I didn't miss the entire MerMay...)
#wip stuff#billy hargrove#max mayfield#mermaid au#I had this whole idea about mer-Max swimming off to explore the nearest pirate-infested port because she's fed up with her day-to-day life#obviously Billy has to follow because Neil will absolutely drown him if something happens to her#add a gaggle of cabin boys in possession of a treasure map#a son of a baron turned pirate captain who's currently swimming in debt#and the fact that a living mermaid is worth more than a frigate full of gold
