Rivereri MerMay 2023 - Week 4 Day 1 - Size Difference

Mer Observation

Summary: Tiny Mer-Dolphin obsessed with giant Mer-Orca mate

It was a beautiful, clear day for Merfolk watching. Dr. Hange Zoe, the world's foremost expert on Merfolk is introducing their new PhD candidates to the Merfolk Pod that they will be studying as a part of their graduate program. It was a very unusual pod consisting of a mix of different subspecies of Mers. There were Mer-Seals, AKA selkies, Mer-Dugongs, Mer-Dolphins, and Mer-Orcas represented in the pod. It was the last two subspecies that garnered the majority of the interest in studying this particular pod. There was a Mer-Dolphin and a Mer-Orca who has quite an unconventional relationship. Dr. Zoe looked over their notes and chuckled, they can't wait to see the new PhD's reaction to the pair.

The new PhD candidates are Armin Arlert and Jean Kirstien, and along with Dr. Zoe's longtime assistant Moblit Berner, they set out on the observation boat to do some Merfolk watching. The Pod likes to spend their time along the coasts of Paradis Island, hunting and playing. There were cliffs all along the coast of said island, so it was easier to access the observation area on a boat. During the trip there, Dr. Zoe questioned Armin and Jean about their general knowledge on Merfolk and their knowledge on the study pod in particular, and also insisted that the students call them by first name.

Armin did most of the talking, and Hange was pleased with his already considerable knowledge on Merfolk. There was a general misperception among the public that Merfolk are half-human and half-fish, and that they were all female, which is why they are more commonly called Mermaids in non-scientific communications, but it's more correct to call them Merfolk, or shortened to Mers. Armin explained perfectly that Merfolks are half-human, and half marine mammals, not half-fish. The known subspecies of Mers are Mer-Dolphin, Mer-Orca, Mer-Seals, also known as Selkies, and Mer-Dugong.

"Excellent job, Armin" Hange said after Armin said his piece. "Thank you for bringing us up to speed."

Jean revealed that the reason he wanted to study Merfolk is for the chance to discover previously unknown subspecies of Mers, specifically a Mer-Whale. Merfolks are subject to endless speculation on Cryptozoology (and adjacent) groups. There were many tales of sighting of Mer-Whales, although there had been no evidence of their existence. It would be an incredible discovery if Mer-Whales were discovered to exist.

"Yes, Jean" Hange said, after Jean finished, "that's why we are all here."

"Can you imagine if we ever find a Mer-Whale," Jean continued, "think of how huge it would be."

"A Mer-Whale would be to Merfolk as Titans are to us!" Armin chimed in, also interested in the topic. Hange had to deal with the topic of Mer-Whales every time they take in new students. Sadly, they didn't have the heart to tell them that Mer-Whales will likely remain cryptids for some time yet.

---

The boat finally reached the observation area, just in time for the Merfolk Pod to make an appearance near the coast. One of the Mers saw the boat and immediately swam over: it was the Mer-Orca. Jean and Armin looked at him, awestruck. Mer-Orcas were the largest sub-species of Merfolk, with their human upper half also significantly larger than regular humans. The Mer-Orca enthusiastically introduced himself as "Eren" and splashed about in front of the boat, as if to wave to his Pod to come over and greet the humans. The rest of the Pod all came close to the boat and at Eren's prompting all introduced themselves. Armin and Jean spent the next hour learning the Pod's names and subspecies. Eren was a Mer-Orca, Isabelle and Furlan were Selkies, Reiner and Berthold were Mer-Dugongs, and finally Mikasa and Levi were Mer-Dolphins. Although Eren was the one who introduced Levi, the Mer-Dolphin was not as friendly as the others.

The Mers soon got restless and went back to their usual activities around the coast, leaving the scientists to their observations.

"Any questions and comments?" It was Moblit who spoke this time.

Armin and Jean started gushing about the Mers. It was the first time they've seen Merfolks in the flesh. Merfolk tends to avoid humans, although Selkies sometimes make colonies on beaches near where humans live. No doubt that's where the Selkie legends started.

Finally, Armin said, "Levi seems quite intimidating. He looks scarier than Eren, even though he's way smaller."

"Oh, you noticed," Moblit replied, "Levi and Eren are mates, and while Eren is very friendly, it usually takes a while for Levi to warm up to new people."

"What about the other Pod members?" Jean asked.

"Isabelle and Furlan are also mates. Mikasa and Levi are related, and Reiner and Berthold are the newest addition to the Pod." Hange explained.

"There used to be another Mer-Orca in the Pod named Zeke, who was Eren's brother," Moblit continued from Hange. "Levi and Zeke did not get along at all, which led Zeke to leave the Pod for a new pod. But he visits Eren occasionally."

Suddenly, the Pod of Mers swam back to the boat and was frolicking about in the water. Hange looked over and saw that Eren and Levi were missing and cracked a knowing smile. Isabelle and Furlan came close to the boat, and Jean and Armin started conversing with them. It took a while for Jean and Armin to realize that Eren and Levi weren't with the Pod and inquired about their absence.

Furlan rolled his eyes while Isabelle snickered at the question. It was Mikasa who answered in an unimpressed voice. "They are mating right now. Levi has to re-establish his claim on Eren whenever we meet new people." Armin raised his eyebrows while Jean's head shot up, eyes scanning the ocean curiously.

Moblit turned Jean into the correct direction and handed him a pair of binoculars. Jean looked and saw Levi on top of Eren, moving in a way that could only be described as a thrusting motion. Jean blushed and handed the binocular to Armin, who looked and also blushed. They were not expecting to witness a mating on their first day.

"They make quite an unusual pair, don't they?" Hange beamed at the two students, who were still beet red.

"You know, before we learned their names, we called them 'Flipper' and 'Free Willy'." Moblit said.

"Are they always so," Jean asked, waving his arm in the direction of the amorous Mers, "you know."

"Yep," Hange said proudly, "but you get used to it. Now, how about taking some field notes."

Rivereri Mermay 2023 - Week 3 Day 1 - Cercaelia

Shore Leave on Planet Cercaelia

Summary: Report on the incident that happened when the ISS Explorer went to Planet Cercaelia on shore leave.

Report on the incident that happened when the ISS Explorer went to Planet Cercaelia on shore leave.

Backround on Planet Cercaelia

Planet Cercaelia is an ocean planet with environmental conditions similar to Earth. The land masses only cover about 8% of the planet's surface. The majority of life on planet Cercaelia is marine based. There exists a sentient intelligent species on the planet, which the United Earth Space Fleet designates Cercaelians. They are evolved from cephalopod like creatures to be humanoid shaped, but with six extra tentacles growing out of their lower back.

They are organized into tribes ruled by Chiefs. Their technological development is completely different from Earth and is still under investigation. Their language has been added to the Universal Translator.

Lieutenant Junior Grade, Jean Kirstein's Statement:

We touched down on Planet Cercaelia at 0600 on May 15, 2345. Ensign Jeager and Ensign Arlert accompanied myself to the beach. Planet Cercaelia is an ocean planet, and the beaches provide many points of interest.

Most of the ensigns were content with R&R on the beach, or swimming in the ocean, Ensigns Jeager and Arlert insisted on exploring the beach, more specifically the caves and grottoes that's dotted all over the beach.

We explored the beaches for approximately three hours, Ensign Arlet taking many samples along the way. It was time to eat lunch, but Ensign Jeager wanted to explore one more grotto before taking a lunch break. Ensign Arlert and myself were too hungry for more exploration and told Ensign Jeager to go ahead into the grotto. Ensign Jeager went ahead while Ensign Arlert and I sat down to eat.

We almost finished our meal when we heard a great commotion and screaming from inside the grotto. The screaming was Ensign Jeager and we were sure he was being attacked. Ensign Arlert and I ran into the grotto, and when we came into the interior, we saw that Ensign Jeager was pinned on his stomach while a Cercaelian native was on top of him.

Ensign Jaeger's uniform was torn, and the Cercaelian's tentacles was assaulting his body, he was screaming for mercy. At least that's what it sounded like to us at the time. Ensign Arlert and I attempted to come to Ensign Jeager's assistance, by trying to pry the Cercaelian off of him. No sooner had we try to lay a hand on the Cercaelian, two other Cercaelians came out of the interior of the grotto and seized us. The Cercaelians were incredibly strong, and they bodily lifted us and then threw us out of the grotto; then, they guarded the entrance. Our Universal Translator picked up something that sounded like "no interrupting the Chief's claiming ceremony."

The other Ensigns heard the commotion and were gathered around the grotto. More Cercaelians also appeared and obscured the grotto entrance from view, but we can still hear the horrible screaming coming from inside. The Cercaelians carried weapons and were dressed as if they were warriors. The other Ensigns were panicking, but too afraid to confront the Cercaelians, since we were all dressed down and carried no weapons.

Only my cool head prevented further chaos from occurring.

Ensign Arlert's correction here: This is false, Lieutenant Junior Grade Kirstein did not keep a cool head, but was instead panicking more than the rest of us. He was in fact running around the beach like a headless chicken.

This state of affairs happened for approximately two hours. The screaming from inside the grotto finally stopped at the one-hour mark, and we feared for the worst. The Cercaelian warriors suddenly withdrew and the two Cercaelians who threw Ensign Arlert and me out of the grotto stepped aside from the grotto entrance. The Chief Cercaelian came out, carrying Ensign Jeager in his arms, bridal style. Ensign Jeager was unconscious, and his uniform was removed and covered with a robe. The Chief Cercaelian was shorter than the other Cercaelians, and he was covered in old battle scars. He then stated his intention of taking Ensign Jeager as his mate, at least that's according to our Universal Translator.

End Report.

---

Chief Medical Officer, Hange Zoes Statement:

I examined Ensign Jeager after his incident with the Cercaelian Chief. He was brought into sickbay unconscious, accompanied by three Cercaelians. There were some commotions before I could examine him, one of the Cercaelians, who I was told was the Chief was apparently Ensign Jeager's mate and would not allow Ensign Jeager to be taken out of his sight. I had to allow the Cercaelian Chief, Levi (as I was told) to remain in the examination room while I looked over Ensign Jeager. He watched me like a hawk the entire time.

Ensign Jeager did not appear to have any internal injuries or open wounds. He has many bruises along his hips and wrists, and also bite marks on his neck, collarbone, and chest area. Ensign Jeager's injuries are consistent with either very rough sex, or sexual assault. After he woke up, Ensign Jeager personally assured me that no non-consensual action took place.

I asked Ensign Jeager how he came to be mated to the Cercaelian Chief, he responded that he was exploring a pretty grotto by the beach when he found out that it was occupied. The inhabitant of the grotto was the Cercaelian Chief in question. According to Ensign Jeager, they got to talking and "just clicked". I expressed incredulity that it took less than an hour from meeting to deciding to become mates, but Ensign Jeager insisted that it was fate and that he and the Cercaelian Chief are "soul mates destined to be together."

I researched the archives about Cercaelian courting and mating rituals and according to previous research, Cercaelians use some sort of pheromones during the courting process and that very fast courting is often the norm. Cercaelians also mate for life, so Ensign Jeager has that to look forward to.

End Report.

---

Ensign Jeager's Statement:

I request permission to take a leave of absence to spend time as a newly mated bride. After the honeymoon period is over, Levi, my mate, has stated his intention of following me back onto the ISS Explorer. The ISS Explorer has provisions for spouses of the enlisted, so I trust permission should be granted in due time.

End Reports.

Rivaereri Mermay 2023 - Week 2 Day 1 - Mythology

Not Quite the Odyssey

Summary: Written for Rivaereri Mermay 2023 - Week 2 Day 1 - Mythology

Levi awoke at the crack of dawn. He was an early riser, and rising with the sun was enforced by his life as a soldier. Even now, when that life was far behind him, habits are hard to break. He ran a hand through the hair of his lover, the early dawn glow making him look positively divine. It's no wonder, Levi's lover is a goddess after all. As he was getting ready, Levi begun to reminisce about how fate threw him into this new life.

It was the aftermath of the Marleyan War, the cause of the war was because some King can't keep track of his wife. After ten arduous years and many deaths and destruction, the war is finally over, and the survivors can go home. The original reason for war was long lost, only its affects remain.

Levi set sail to his home with the reminder of his troops, hoping to put the long nightmare behind them. All was going well until a storm blew their ship to an unknown island, shrouded in mists. As the sailors climbed out of their wrecked ship, dashed to pieces on the rocky shore, they see that they are not out of danger yet.

The island was not uninhabited as they originally thought, as a terrible and beautiful goddess came upon them on the beach. The being introduced themselves as Eren, and demanded to know why they were trespassing. When the answer was not forthcoming immediately, the goddess turned all the sailors except for Levi into pigs.

In the present day, Levi has finished his morning routine and has arrived at the pig pen. His former companions are still pigs, but they look quite content, wallowing in the mud. He had tried to persuade his divine lover into letting them go, but he was refused. Eren did not want to risk anyone spread word of his island to the outside world.

When the initial shock of his companions transforming into swine wore off, Levi demanded angrily for them to be turned back. Eren looked at him imperiously, clearly unimpressed. It was then that Levi got his first good look at the goddess and realized that Eren was perhaps a god instead, but regardless of whether Eren was male or female, the god/goddess is the most beautiful being Levi had ever seen.

Levi should feel bad, since Eren turned all his men into pigs, but his loins was instantly set ablaze. It's been ten years since Levi had known intimacy, and his dick chooses now to remind him of that fact. Eren then turned to him with an ultimatum: become his lover or be turned into a pig, like the rest of his men. Levi let his dick do the thinking and instantly agreed, and the rest, as they say was history.

After feeding the pigs, Levi went to check on his fishing lines. His life with Eren was idyllic, since his lover was a goddess, everything he ever needed was provided for him. The only thing he thought he would miss about his old life was tea, but it turned out that the island has some plants that made a perfect substitute. There were two fat fish waiting for him on the line, perfect for today's dinner. Levi gathered the fish and came back to where he and Eren lives.

It was a lovely little villa with a beautiful garden outside. It's not palatial, like how he imagines how a god's house would look, but it's perfect and most importantly, feels like home. Going inside, Eren already has breakfast waiting for him, complete with tea. Levi likes to take his tea straight up, but Eren likes to infuse his with flowers. Today, it seems he's chosen jasmine, one of his favorites.

Breakfast was porridge laden with fruits, nuts, and honey, with leftover bread and jam. Levi thought the island was too small to be able to source all the foods that they enjoyed, but he figured that Eren had his ways; he's a goddess after all. Aside from that, they primary get food from the sea. They also derive a lot of entertainment from the sea. Eren sometimes transforms into a mermaid form, he would also put an enchantment on Levi so that he can breathe underwater. They've spent countless days exploring the seas surrounding the island. Eren also allowed him to make a small boat out of his wrecked ship and they would take the boat out to explore some of the other, uninhabited island that are close to theirs.

After breakfast, Eren wanted to work on the garden, and Levi decided to tidy up their home. While he's working, Levi remembered some of the tales he heard about sailors stranded on islands, unable to leave because they've been captured by a sea goddess or witch. Levi supposes that's exactly what happened to him, but he found that he didn't mind at all. In fact, he's thinking that those sailors in those tales are the strange ones.

Before he went to war, he didn't exactly have a lot. He technically had a wife, but they didn't get along, with her constantly haranguing him for not being rich. In fact, he went to war to get away from her; he just didn't plan to be at war for ten years. He's sure the wife he left behind already moved on, probably finally finding someone rich. As for Levi, he's living with a goddess, with every need he has met, and he gets to have a goddess in his bed every night. Those sailors in the tales were fools.

With the villa tidy, Levi went outside to see Eren bent down pulling weeds. The sight was so enticing that Levi grabbed him to pull him inside for an impromptu lovemaking session, something that happens fairly often. The sunlight filtered into the bedroom just right, giving the room a glowing, ethereal quality. Levi didn't know why he was chosen by the goddess, but here he was, living in his own slice of heaven. After ten years of war, he was not going to complain.

Rivaereri MerMay 2023 - Day 1 - Pirates

Gay Pirates

The candlelight in the cabin casted a soft, romantic glow, perfect for the secret rendezvous. Life as a pirate is hard, with death as a constant companion. Loneliness is another constant, as the majority of pirates yearn for the embrace of a woman. For the two pirates who are meeting in secret, the need for intimacy is being met by each other instead. The secret relationship is helped by the fact that one of the pirates is in fact the captain of the ship and has his own cabin. Unlike death and loneliness, privacy is scarce on a pirate ship, and Eren and Captain Levi are determined to make the most of it.

After the death of his parents, Eren was left destitute and decided to try his luck as a sailor. Unfortunately, he was duped to join the crew of a pirate ship instead. Instead of being morose about his bad luck, Eren decided to make the best of it. This can-do attitude caught the eye of the captain of the ship he ended up on, the legendary pirate Levi Ackerman. Levi was impressed with Eren's defiant attitude, and his never-give-up outlook on life and decided to take him under his wing.

Eren was grateful to have found a mentor who believed in him and dedicated his life to make Captain Levi proud. The two men grew closer than either could ever have anticipated: first becoming superior and subordinate, then friends, then finally lovers. Captain Levi's cabin became their sanctuary from a life of danger and hardship, many a night they spend in there exploring each other's bodies, but most on nights, just holding each other, finding home in each other's arms. In calm nights like this, Eren thought that he could stay like this forever, just him and the captain on their ship.

Miles away, decisions were being made that would bring about the end of the golden age of piracy. The Marleyan Navy has made its mission to clean up the pirate problem on their coast. This political shift has made the pirate lifestyle more and more untenable. Each year, more and more of their fellow pirates were caught by the navy and had to face the law. Captain Levi and his crew became legendary in evading the Marleyan Navy, but eventually their luck had also ran out.

---

The sun was beating down on the Marleyan Navy ship, and Levi's pirate ship has been captured. The sailors were rounding up the surviving pirate crew after a furious battle with many causalities. The last pirates to be captured were Captain Levi and Eren, each with a sizable bounty on their heads. Try as they might to keep their relationship secret, their status as notorious pirates made them top priority for the Navy to know and capture.

Sodomy is illegal in Marley, and most of the world, with the punishment for it usually being execution. Being a pirate is in many ways more freeing for men who are inclined to that type of illicit activity, despite the dangers. As the Marleyan Navy Captain was reading their sentences, Eren and Levi held their heads high in defiance. They may be pirates who stole and killed on the high seas, but who is society to tell them that their love for each other was wrong?

Because of the fierce fighting they engaged in with the Marleyan Navy, Eren and Levi have garnered the respect of the Marleyan Captain, the respect between warriors, and they are allowed to choose the method of their execution: hanging or walking the plank. There was no question of what they would choose. Hand in hand, they walked to the end of the plank and jumped off the ship. Down they fell, but the minute they disappeared beneath the waves, there arose a furious storm, as if the heavens itself is angry at the injustice. The Marleyan ship just barely managed to leave the area before the storm can sink it, metaphorically slinking home with its tail between its legs.

In its haste to leave, no one noticed the pod of mermaids that hoisted Eren and Levi above the waves to keep them from drowning and stole them away, never again to be seen by proper society.

---

The sun casted a golden light on the island, perfect weather for a romantic swim. It's been a year since the mermaids rescued Captain Levi and Eren from their would-be watery grave and deposited them on this island paradise. The island has plenty of freshwater and vegetation, and the waters around it are well stocked with fish and other marine life, providing the two inhabitants with more than enough food to live on. There were also no large predators on the island, and the only thing that could threaten them would be bad weather.

The island also has a beach full of debris from shipwrecks that has washed ashore. There were many useful things among the debris, and the former pirates took advantage of this by building a house out of materials from a lifeboat, furnishing it with both scavenged items and newly made things.

Life settled into a comfortable rhythm: rising with the sun, exploring the island while gathering food, working on their house, and enjoying each other's company. They never did figure out why the mermaids rescued them, and the mythical creatures hasn't made an appearance since that time. They've been given a second chance at life, and they will make the most of it and love each over without fear and judgement.

Vaguely inspired by this song:
