#the merboy's cry

Dead Dove idea under the cut because I was recently yapping about mermay with a moot.

warnings: dubious consent (between Will and Hannibal's mother because she is a siren and lures Will), father/son incestual themes, underage sex.

The year is 1702. Will is a fisherman and one day, a mermaid climbs onto the deck of his boat. The mermaid is whining something desperate; a siren in heat; and before he knows what's happening, his cock is hard and he's pushing into her. This lasts for a few hours; because she wants to catch; wants to be bred by a human see what happens. Then, she births a baby merboy; something that can live on land yet she's too protective; she wants Hannibal to remain in the ocean with her where it is safe.

Will understands Hannibal is his offspring; something not entirely human. He sees them on a weekly basis, makes sure they have fish if they're running low on food. He swims with them a few times a week, but Hannibal's mother is distant and falling in love with a merman; someone of her own species. Will doesn't mind at all. He knows they could never be a proper family. He cares for her because she is the mother of his offspring, but he loves Hannibal. Then one day, fifteen years later, blood is dancing along the surface of the water; something's been killed or attacked.

Will sees Hannibal swimming towards the dock. Afraid. Letting out something that sounds like a screeching cry. He's cut up, scratches on both arms. From defending himself. From something chasing him. Will lifts Hannibal out of the water and carries him home, where he'll be safe. Hannibal's mother is dead. Will understands without being told; can sense a solemn shift inside Hannibal. There are signs. Hannibal cannot speak, but he can make noises; and usually, little trills of contentment and excitement greet Will's ears when reaching the end of the dock; because Hannibal is happy to see Daddy; but now, Hannibal is clearly in distress—grieving; not wanting to eat much, but can be coaxed into eating by being hand-fed.

Hannibal is staying in the bath—always brimming with water because Will is worried about what'll happen if he dries out. Will learns sitting in the bathtub with him, holding him and offering comfort, is easing Hannibal's distress and separation anxiety—day by day. He is clingy—and Will doesn't tire of being needed because Hannibal is young and must feel lost without a mother. He isn't used to human things. Like being inside a house. Like only being able to shift in water instead of swimming freely. Like needing to sit in a running shower while Daddy cleans the bath where he's needed to use the bathroom (because he's used to expelling in the ocean without care). Like seeing a white light on a ceiling instead of the sun. Like sleeping alone in a bath instead of sleeping near mother.

But eventually, Will needs to return to work. He thinks Hannibal can understand English. He explains he'll be back soon. To stay in here. I love you.

Then, Will is gone and Hannibal grows curious and also a bit panicky. He wants Daddy. He soon slips out of the bathtub and realizes moving with a heavy tail is impossible. He stays on the bathroom floor until he's entirely dry. His tail soon transforms into legs. Like Daddy's. He crawls across the floor and into the bedroom. He sees a cat sleeping on something large and flat (a bed). The cat looks comfortable. He wants to join it and struggles to make it onto the bed. He starts shivering; something new. He doesn't know what to do because this is all new to him; being in a human's space and body. These plush squares (pillows) smell like Daddy and so does this thick cloth (bed covers). He stays there, marveling at the reality of having legs and feet. He doesn't know what's between his legs; what is covered in soft, spiraling curls; but it makes him feel a bit nervous to look or touch down there. Like something bad might happen. Like Daddy might get angry at him. He drifts off to sleep, shivering and wondering if Daddy is returning anytime soon.

He wakes up a while later. There is wetness everywhere. He thinks it's water, but it smells strong and sour. Daddy is removing the bed sheets and breathing a little weirdly. Daddy's cheeks are red, too. Daddy isn't looking at him. Soon, Daddy is folding up the thick cloth, disappearing with it and then returning empty-handed moments later.

Hannibal's stomach drops. Did he do something wrong? He realizes, eventually, what must've happened. He urinated while asleep because holding in urine is not expected when living in the ocean. He doesn't want to make Daddy angry. He doesn't want to lose Daddy, too.

But Daddy is sweet and reassuring, wiping away the mess on Hannibal's thighs, and hesitating (hand hovering in the air before lowering). Hannibal gasps, startling because a small wad of toilet paper and Daddy's fingers brush against a small pearl comprised of flesh and many tiny nerve-endings; something that twitches and begins to sitffen with steady pulses.

Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao

The boys of Huaxia dream of pairing up with girls to pilot Chrysalises, giant transforming robots that can battle the mecha aliens that lurk beyond the Great Wall. It doesn't matter that the girls often die from the mental strain.

When 18-year-old Zetian offers herself up as a concubine-pilot, it's to assassinate the ace male pilot responsible for her sister's death. But she gets her vengeance in a way nobody expected—she kills him through the psychic link between pilots and emerges from the cockpit unscathed. She is labeled an Iron Widow, a much-feared and much-silenced kind of female pilot who can sacrifice boys to power up Chrysalises instead.​

To tame her unnerving yet invaluable mental strength, she is paired up with Li Shimin, the strongest and most controversial male pilot in Huaxia​. But now that Zetian has had a taste of power, she will not cower so easily. She will miss no opportunity to leverage their combined might and infamy to survive attempt after attempt on her life, until she can figure out exactly why the pilot system works in its misogynist way—and stop more girls from being sacrificed.

Mer!Livio x Reader Headcanons

I have slowly been accepting my Livio simpage, so why not add him alongside the merboys.

Reader owns a home at another section of the lake, not a holiday home just a normal house. Reader prefers solitude and often fears interaction with other people, her pass time is clearing the lake of trash that holiday goers leave. You also have a sausage dog called Mildred, cause I said so xD

TW: smut, cockwarming, borderline exhibitionism, mating mark, slight oral (f!receiving), biting, slight overstimulation, over all a very soft boy.

Livio lives in the same Saltwater lake as Wolfwood, who has taken it upon himself to be his unofficial big bro. He shows the younger merman the ropes, how to avoid the family that holidays at their lake, and how to hunt with their pod. Overall, Livio has become family, often found clinging to his brother.

You would imagine his shock upon seeing Wolfwood mating with a human late at night, mouth agape as he shyly observed his brother mating with the creatures he swore he hated. It was awkward to say the least, especially when he was dragged to meet said human.

Since then Livio has opted to try and become more independent, exploring further sections of the lake. During these times he'd hunt with his and Wolfwoods pod, until one day he noticed the sharks branching off at an interval.

Curiosity got the better of Livio as he pursued them, resulting in a rather unusual sight.

You were collecting trash left by holiday goers when the sharks approached, familiar with your presence. Of course that didn't stop a few from charging you, Livio went to intervene, stopping as you outstretched a hand to redirect the sharks.

This confused Livio, never before had his brother's human done something like this, let alone be found anywhere within the water. However you on the other hand allowed his family to swim around you, unbothered by their company unless one got too close. It intrigued him, yet he would not approach.

He watched with disappointment as you left, stripping off the gear and dumping the garbage in its respectable bins. Livio began to get more curious, so his visits to this side of the lake became more frequent, observing you as his passtime.

There was an odd creature that followed you around, one that Livio watched like he would prey. You fondled this creature with affection, throwing sticks into the water for it to retrieve. Surely if it could swim that meant it was fair game?

Livio lunged at the small mammal, fangs bared as he screeched. As his claws went to dig into this animals soft flesh, something hard smacked him square in the face. Whimpering chirps sounded from the merman, rubbing timidly at his bloodied nose, lunch now on shore besides you.

You had your other shoe in hand, aimed at inhuman man above the waters surface, you were confused as it began making drawled out chirps as if it were crying.

Guilt surfaced in your gut, so you entered the water, slowly approaching this oddity. With a gentle touch, you wiped the blood off his face, pinching his nose to stop any bleeding.

While you were close, you took the opportunity to study him, as if to confirm what you were seeing. Livio watched you, nervous like you were to hurt him again, but your touch was warm. Was this what dragged his brother away? You smelt nice?

Livio braved a few shy sniffs, circling you before appearing before you again, eyes wide as he gaze into your own. Yet as quickly as it happened, Livio screeched and vanished, leaving you alone in the water.

From that point on you saw the young merman frequently, sometimes during your dives, other times when you spent your time outside. One time Livio was found basking on your dock, asleep as the early morning rays warmed his flesh. You approached him, running a hand along his tail, abruptly waking him.

In his startle Livio fell back into the water, he seemed displeased as he resurfaced, a few disgruntled chirps sounded from him. You were even splashed by his tail, which you couldnt help but laugh at.

That sound had Livio hooked, head tilted this way and that like Mildred would when presented a treat. He climbed back onto the dock, circled around you then resumed his nap, damp tail soaking your clothes. It was as if he was saying "go ahead".

For the next few weeks this became a regular ordeal, until Livio decided to try something new. You were snorkelling, collecting trash like usual when Livio approached, nuzzling against you and chirping with delight. Yet when you went to greet him back, you were gently shoved into the ground, his larger form pressed into you.

Pointed teeth nibbled at your shoulder, then went lower and lower until he was grazing your clothed sex with his canines. Livio pressed his face into you, yellow eyes studying for any sign to stop, only you urged him forward to which he tore your swimsuit to devour you.

For weeks watching Wolfwood please his own human, Livio thought he'd gain enough experience to do the same. But without having done it before, you could tell he was a little rusty. Though it was the thought that counts.

Livio lapped at your folds, suckling them as his teeth brushed against the fragile skin. Your legs kicked as pain exploded from your inner thigh, blood escaping the bite mark that Livio innocently licked.

You were brought to the surface, placed ever so gently upon the dock as your lower body dangled over the edge. The cold, wet member that was Livio's cock slithered between your legs, causing moans of anticipation to escape you.

Those sounds only had Livio chirp in excitement, gently entering you, stretching your walls with his foreign cock. You stayed like that for ages, the merman practically purring as his cock twitched inside you. You tried begging Livio to move, he only growled and wiggled further into you.

You could've sworn your stomach had bulged, pressed beneath him as Livio squeaked and whined as your walls contracted around him. That's what caused him to move, thrust after thrust until you were drooling onto the polished wood of your dock.

The water splashed at each collided of his hips against your ass, strong arms on either side as he sunk his teeth into your soft flesh again and again. His chirps were restrained, quiet as you felt his lips brush your ear, as if Livio only wanted you to hear him.

An arm wrapped around your waist, hoisting you up as he slid onto the dock fully. Carefully Livio turned you around, slitted yellow eyes staring into your own as he bred you.

Even when he was done, satisfied with the end results, Livio didn't pull out. No. Instead he snuggled into you, body wiggling as you protested due to his cock still inside you. With a tired yawn, Livio cuddled into you with his weight pressing you against the wooden dock, familiarising himself with the soft walls of your cunt.

It was something you could get use to, snuggled next to your cuddly water cat. A sweet creature that adored the way you ran your hand along his body, touching you with such care whenever the opportunity arose.

First time writing for Livio, so feel free to give me any feedback! Thank you all, had hope you enjoy!

I'll be getting back to requests now!

So what would the merboys do if their s/o was afraid of one of them but fine with the other? I think I would genuinely freak out if I saw Magus swimming closer to me

[I'm assuming you're keeping a poly thing in mind.]

It's easy for people to deem Glauk nothing more than a happy go lucky kind of puppy monster and for Magus to be categorized as a scary, brooding giant. And, to a degree, both of them kind of expect that reaction nowadays. Sure, if you asked Glauk about it, he'd say there's nothing scary about Magus, but he does have a weird effect on people... *Shrug*

In reality, your opinion on both is likely to change drastically once you see Glauk ripping jellyfish and several other extremely dangerous species apart and repeatedly throwing people into the aquarium to give chase to them. In comparison, Magus is a sweet little angel that just wants to watch people and maybe perchance steal their shiny things. He's just quiet and still often, that spooks people.

When it comes to you, Glauk is going to be visibly upset if you refuse to come within Magus' vicinity, but the bigger mer doesn't seem too offended or upset. He'll give you space actually, observing you from below. Occasionally, his tendrils will brush against your legs and you'll definitely see glimpses of him swimming circles around you, but he'll only surface from time to time, keeping most of his body obscured.

Nothing will save you from being held against his chest while he leisurely floats however. You can kick and scream and cry, you're still his mate and he's going to have contact with you. Glauk can get on top of him too if you're that scared of the bigfin mer.

Ultimately, Magus isn't wounded by your attitude, so much as he expects you to eventually get over it.

I got to think.

If Poseidon wants a friend for Percy. With Sally in Atlantis. I don't think he would ask, he would just grab Geir and pull her with him.

Let's be real, her siblings wouldn't dare to do anything in fear of being hurt or worse killed.

Trauma for sisters.

While Geir has after a time joy of her life in Atlantis, blue food from motherly Sally, a friend in Percy and a douchbag "father-in-law" Poseidon.

But as long not alone with Poseidon she is safe. And think of tiny silver mermaid Geir and tiny merboy Percy playing "Under the Sea".

goll's sisters would be crying screaming and shitting while she's having the time of her life (until Poseidon steps in ofc)
