Femslash Feb 2024 Day 1
Prompt - Black
Pairing - Rita/Veridia
Words - 393
Rating- G
Everytime Veridia thought she had gotten used to her wife’s habits, something always came up. Whether it was a new cat sitting on the couch waiting for her, the entire house decked out in decor for whatever land holiday was coming up, or her wife’s sudden urges to re-decorate everything.
It was the bathroom last month. Rita had made some comment about how she didn’t like the bathroom paper anymore. Two days later the Mermaid had stripped the entire bathroom and was in the middle of hanging new paper when Veridia found her. It was nice, but the room was perfectly nice beforehand as well.
She had tried increasing Rita’s class load and asked her to help with some of the specialty potions classes to try and minimise these instances but all it lead to was Rita painting the bedroom ceiling to match the wall at 2am. So she gave up.
Today was no exception to the sudden urge to complete a project the exact day she thought of it. The smell of paint hit her as soon she walked in. She found Rita on her knees painting the hallway radiator a shiny black.
“What now?” Veridia asked, leaning against the door frame, she couldn’t stop the amusement creeping in her voice as Rita turned around and stood up. Black shorts splattered in remnants of all projects, and splashed of black paint right down her legs and all over her hand.
“I’m doing the woodwork black. That doorway’s still wet by the way.”
Veridia instantly took her weight off but it was too late, a long black streak now marked her sleeve.
“Sorry?” Rita offered and stepped in to place a kiss on Veridia’s cheek.
“What brought this on?”
“I wanted to paint the hall then decided I wanted black woodwork because I saw some amazing inspiration photos online. I’ve done all the skirting boards, door frames and handrail. Just this radiator now.”
Veridia looked about as Rita listed off each item and sure enough each one was now a satin black.
“You got paint all over you.”
Rita shrugged,” I always do. You fancy helping?”
“I’ll leave you too it. I don’t trust you and paint since you initiated a paint fight.”
Rita laughed, “that was three years ago.”
“And you still have that orange paint on your shorts.”
“So I do.”

For reasons I do not feel like saying, this thought appeared in my mind and has not gone away.
Rita is a bottom. She tries to top but fails. Every time. It's literally the only thing she fails at and it pisses her off every time.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk. Bye.
#no I will not disclose what caused this#but low-key this was written with Rita x Trumble in mind#rita santos#rita x veridia

H2O & MAKO Headcanon #25
Just a follow-up to the post below:
So, after so long, I felt like reiterating this long-ago possibility that any young girl who saw or met any of the merpeople would become a mermaid later in their lives.
So after combing through which little girl would fit the bill (aka if the child actresses kept acting) and found the one who fit the billl.
Remember Patty?
The 13-year-old girl stole the toy dolphin from Mimmi, who tracked her to a dolphin enclosure. And after Ondina (recklessly) used her powers in front of her, she and Mimmi got splashed by a dolphin and were forced to jump into the enclosure to transform but unfortunately, Patty saw them and brought a crowd to see them while they hid. Luckily, Sirena saved them by telling the crowd they were wearing costumes. Sadly for Patty, she was upset to see Mimmi and Ondina dried and denied what she saw. But for consolation, she got to keep the toy dolphin, though her mom had to pay for it.
Now, it's 2023, which means plenty of time had to pass for the young girl to grow into a mature-ish, grown woman who understandably never forgot what happened. So, I humbly headcanon and introduce:
Patricia "Patty" King, a 21-year-old, college-bound woman majoring in History and Folklore & Mythology as well as an assistant scuba diver.
How she turned into a mermaid:
7 years after the events of Mako Mermaids, the Mako Pod left for their decennial migration while Zac, Evie, and the others pursued the option of college or alternative interests. While they were gone, divers started coming around the island once more. Patty's boss agreed to do a night dive session for underwater photographers and she went with them during a full moon. However, Patty swam to the base of the volcano and noticed something embedded in the coral. Upon shining a light on it, it revealed to be a crystal of some sort that began glowing a memorizing, blue hue and teleported her into the moon pool. Patty received visions of ancient islanders traversing the land and worshipping the full moon before taking a group of boys and girls down a cave that began to bubble before falling unconscious. She woke up on the beach the next morning, unsure how she got there. Found by her boss, she was returned home and took a shower to wash off the sand and saltwater and you know what happens from there...
However, somewhere over the seas, Nerissa is alerted to an enchanted artifact she created in case any land people ended up in the moon pool (an inevitable fact she became well aware of after meeting Rikki and her friends). She, Rita, and Veridia, along with the council, agreed to send three mermaids to see what happened. Nerissa's daughter, Mimmi, was chosen but was surprised when two other mermaids volunteered: Naia and Ava, Ondina and Rita's former students and current graduates from Merpeople School.
This is how it goes from here. A college mermaid becomes aware that Mako Island has a lot more secrets that bridge between Humans and Merfolk while Mimmi must return to find out who was changed and reverse it. Not to mention, answer the unasked question of why humans and merfolk weren't allowed to interact, to begin with.
Decennial means "over ten years". If mermaid pods are traveling every decade or so, it could explain: How the metamorphosis of Gracie, Louise, and Julia went undetected in the 50s and as well as Cleo Sertori, Emma Gilbert, Rikki Chadwick, and Charlotte Watsford in the mid-to-late 2000s (essentially saying the pod returned in the 60s, left during the 70s and 80s, stayed during the 90s when Zac Blackley was born, and left before in the 2000s.)

now listen. i am a BIG Rita x Veridia shipper. but im not gonna lie, i wanted to see how Rita and Dr Ross were gonna play out.
like imagine they’re on a date. and Ondina screws it up cause of Eric? or maybe Mimmi and Weilan spy on them? It could have been glorious chaos. 
i think mako mermaids would be a lot more bearable if they didn't give a male love interest to every mermaid on this show

I have a ship-type and it's ~middle-aged women with a tragic relationship backstory where one was gone for a while~
It's literally all of my main ships
Andromaquynh (duh)
Milippa (Prime in fanon, or counting Mirror as 'returning')
HeistWives (Debbie in prison)
Rita/Veridia
Carol/Maria
KahnDax
Clexa
Bering and Wells
...
The being apart/unable to be together for a while part also fits to my non-femslash ships like Stucky, ineffable spouses, ClintCoulson, Kim/Henry, Geraskier...
Like, damn, I have a Type™ xD
& I guess now I know why sometimes even when a ship has really good chemistry, I just don't vibe with it as much, no matter how much content for it I see? It's just missing this very specific type of hurt/comfort potential that I need!
[personal post do not reblog]
#lilo rambles#ship type#this is also why I was immediately game for those GrinchxTony memos xD#*memes#they fit the type!#lmfao#mar'21#personal#personal 2021#24.03.21#x#fandom#ship#ships#tog#milippa prime#rita/veridia#all of themmmm#ok imma not spam the tags tho

Little ranty rant here... so if you ship Rita and Veridia from Mako Mermaids then you probably remember the episode "reunion" aka S:2 E:13. Well if you go to the timestamp 19:25 Veridia looks Rita up and down, that seen just amuses me and I thought if anyone sees this they might like it as much as me.

Veridia: Hey can someone help me with performing this spell?
Nerissa: Ah, I wish I could, but I don’t want to.

the fact that this should theoretically be the first time veridia goes on land and uses legs but she's so comfortable with it... you could argue it's some requirement for being a council member or something they're taught in case of emergency, but honestly i'm choosing to believe veridia just... spent a few years showing up at rita's place to harass her about her choices
#h2o tag#harry: this is my fiance rita and her ex gf veridia who keeps showing up in our secret grotto and yelling at me for being a land guy#like imagine being harry and trying to have a nice night with rita but the secret bookshelf opens and veridia's there without even knocking#and u know ur gonna get telekinetically shoved into a wall bc ur getting blamed for stealing rita away and will be until veridia accepts#that she left on her own but ur a simp for ur mermaid wife so u just let it happen#anyway obvs i finally got to veridia and rita INTERACTING and i am gone

Rita Santos Headcanon because why not
- She’s attracted to all genders and she doesn’t do labels.
- Before Harry died she was pregnant, she miscarried due to an accident she had a few weeks later. Which is why she sort of easily takes the role of being a parent of sort to the mermaids.
- Adding to that she actually meet Welian’s parents before they died and she takes a sort of honorary big sister/the fun aunt role towards Welian.
- When given the chance she can party… hard. Surprisingly
- Her best friends after she left the pod are another teacher from Suncoast named Anna Raford and Harry’s little brother Hector.
- She is not mentally healthy… at all.
- During the time travel episode it’s implied that Veridia sent mermaids to try and convince Rita to come back to the pod. She punched two of them in the face because they bugged her more then the ones Veridia usually sent and after the second one where she actually broke the mermaid nose Veridia stoped. Harry and his brother Hector taught her how to throw a good punch.
- Rita has bi-weekly gossip sessions with Hector. He knows all about the mermaids and there antics.

Rita/Veridia drabble (100 words) for MerMay and for @mako-and-tails-and-stuff, who dragged me into this ship head first <3
I might write a slightly longer and 3d person POV version of this for ao3 tomorrow, but I thought for now I'd already post what I have!
~
How do you forget someone who used to be your life?
You did everything together.
Shared every moment between yourselves.
How do you forget someone you used to be so close to?
When everything reminds you of her.
Does she ever think back to the old days, too?
You sink deeper into the water, see the shimmer of you tail as you turn your head, and in the dim light think for one moment that it is the shade of her scales instead of your own.
You dive into the depth of the sea, imagines her swimming by her side.
(How do you forget someone who is your life?)
~
My ao3 is lilolilyrae if you want to have a look at my other writing or check whether I've posted the longer version of this yet :)
HD moodboard here
#lmk if you'd rather I didn't tag you!#on the other hand if anyone wants me to let them know when I post more mako content lmk too#i could make a tag lisr#my only condition: i don't taglist people who don't tend to reblog#x#mako#rita/veridia#rita x veridia#my mako#my mermaids#lilo writes#mako mermaids#mako femslash#mako-and-tails-and-stuff#drabble#my drabble#h2o just add water#mako mermaids femslash#mermay#my mermay#h2o#rita/veridia fic

like i'm sure veridia had phases of hating rita for abandoning her and feeling worthless because she chose a land boy over the pod her but she was so happy to welcome her back she just had like, a decade of love for her with nowhere to put it ;-;
#h2o tag#i wish there'd been more hesitance in her decisions regarding mako#we got a lot of rita's angst but not much for veridia and it would've been nice to see#her have to let go of the possibility of rita ever coming back#and the choice to leave mako and find another home would've been the final goodbye to any chance of rita changing her mind#bc ultimately.... as much as rita was banished it was her own choice#and bby!rita thought veridia had sent people to come change her mind when the girls showed up#so she would've been able to come back if she begged and veridia probs always held out some hope for that#and i want to believe veridia like... eventually let her emotions abt rita turn negative so she could allow herself to move on#and be more icy at the thought of letting her back in#bc we see how capable she is of being a bit ruthless and cold when it comes to the safety of the pod#and i think you could take that and infer some of it being directed toward rita as well#but it feels like (and we do kind of see) that the more important bits of their relationship happened off screen#which makes sense bc it isnt the focus of the show and just seeing them walk off screen together is enough for me jkls;dfdklj#so yeah wouldve been nice to see more from veridia's pov on it all but we got a ton from rita that bounces off of veridia so#that's all i can ask for

Mako Mermaids F/Feb Day 8 Grey
Day 8 Grey - Rita/Veridia/Nerissa, 803 words, Rating G
Stormy days were grey days. When the pouring rains and howling winds kept them all shut inside and made surfacing to breathe a dangerous task. Most Mermaids took to their caves and waited it out, safe with their friends and their own little treasures.
Rita had been one of those Mermaids once, until she came onto land and built her grotto from a dusty old cavern under the house to a literal treasure trove. Treasures, potions, rare fabrics, antiques and anything one could think of to do with the sea.
Sometimes she watched the storms from the safety of the house, watching as the grey clouds engulfed the sky and the Sea mirrored it back, an endless gloom set to swallow the whole world if it was left to its own devices.
Sometimes she used storms as an excuse to look through her collection. Each storm brought out another old chest she hadn’t looked at in years or sparked up the urge to rearrange and change her displays. She once thought about cataloguing everything but she gave up after she filled the first leather bound tome and had barely scratched the surface on her possessions.
This newest storm was another opportunity. She’d watched the clouds while she waited for the kettle to boil then retreated down to the grotto where she found Veridia and Nerissa already settled in the lower level. Nerissa lying with her head on Veridia’s lap, the latter sitting closest to the stairs, holding a book in her hands.
Rita kissed Veridia on the cheek before sipping her tea and deciding which area to start on first.
“Now I feel left out. Everyone’s all paired up but me,” Nerissa joked as she sat up. “Mimmi’s over with Chris, Zac and Evie are at Evie’s house and now you two over here.”
“Aww,” Rita gave Nerissa a gentle kiss on the cheek and lightly cupped her jaw, “Least it gives you time to help with some organising down here while everyone else is busy. Both of you can help.”
“I’m not helping, not after last time. You got annoyed at me for not putting everything back right, I’m going to stay here and read,” Veridia swung her legs up onto the bench in one smooth move, the fabric of her dress rippling like the waves as she did so, “Nerissa do not indulge her either.”
“Nerissa can make up her own mind,” Rita retorted,”and besides, she’s using false facts to get pity.” Rita directed her attention towards the Mermaid in question, “You know you’re one of us Nerissa.”
“If you value your peace and sanity stay here with me,” Veridia warned.
“How bad can it be?”
Veridia turned back to her book with a laugh as Nerissa gingerly stood up and followed behind Rita.
As soon as Rita moved the first target box, it unearthed a cloud of dust almost as big as the storm clouds outside which immediately doused both her and Nerissa near enough head to toe.
“Veridia was right,” Nerissa coughed, “I never should have helped you.”
Rita just shook the grey dust from her hair. “It’s been a while since this has been moved, a bit of dust is perfectly normal.”
“This is not a bit of dust, this is a literal volcanic ash size pile of dust. It’s all over you and all over me.”
“I warned you two,” Veridia called over, “but Rita never listens and it seems you don’t either Nerissa. Now who’s left out, the only voice of reason left.”
“Hearing her, the voice of reason,” Rita continued brushing dust off before raising her voice to make sure Veridia could also hear, “try getting Ondina to do what you say and then we’ll see who’s the ‘voice of reason’ amongst us.”
“Ondina is perfectly willing to follow instructions,” Veridia said, “the majority of the time.”
“When was the last time she did what you asked? She’s too much like you. Never does as she’s told
“Ondina always does what I ask,” Nerissa added.
“You’ve got the best friend’s mum thing going on,” Rita replied, “plus Ondina was only here for a week before she left for Shanghai.”
“How about instead of arguing, you two get all that dust cleaned off of you?” Veridia asked. “It’s in both of your hair and all over your clothes and I don’t want it on me.”
“Why not? You’d look cute being all dusty with us,” Rita blew a kiss to Veridia.”
“I’m fine thank you, just clean yourselves up.”
Rita waited until Veridia had gone back to her book before cloaking herself and quietly sneaking up behind the other Mermaid and catching her in a hug. The surprise gave Nerissa enough time to catch Veridia from the front.
“You two are horrible!”
