    Summary

    It could have been worse.

    Yeah, it could have been worse. In the way that falling into a frying pan was technically better than falling into the flames underneath. There were surely worse realities to transmigrate into than this one. Like, he wasn’t a slave.

    ...Because slaves were human.

    He was a fish.

    Well. ‘Domesticated Mer’.

    A pet. Sentient, yet ownable. A status symbol.

    What was that? Slaves were considered less than human too?

    Aish! This wasn’t the time for splitting hairs! This was the time for internally wailing, lamenting, and raging at the shitty heavens!

    ----


    Shang Qinghua thought it was bad enough when he transmigrated into the life of someone’s pet, but then he found himself crammed into a cargo hold as a gift for a noble overseas. When the ocean turned treacherous and the crew turned their hungry eyes on him, he never expected what happened next, nor how meeting a wild mer would flip his new life upside down.

    Summary

    Denki knows full well that there’s never really been a question needed as to whether the mer exist. They ‘exist’ to humanity these days in the same way the true fae and titans do: in fossils and relics, and stories from an age when magic held the world carefully in its palms and instilled new wonders with every gentle whisper.

    It’s not like magic is gone— far from it. But the creatures that breathed magic, bled it, held together by miracles and timelessness and enigma… well, they’re another story.

    Which is why he’s having a hard time comprehending the visual feed from his sea rover.

    (Or: Kaminari Denki saves a siren and ends up in over his head.)

    Summary

    If Minho was born a few decades earlier when it was the norm to encounter mers in the coves and on the beaches of his coastal port town, he may possibly be fascinated by them. He may have even been adventurous enough to travel to the region that is practically named after the sea creatures. But, as per usual, humankind’s history of entitlement and gorging on something that they have no right to gorge on, the relationship between the two species has tilted, to say the least.

    You’d really think that after caging orcas for commercial and performance value for centuries that humans would have learnt a few necessary things, such as – do not take life from the ocean and do not expect it to be fucking happy about it.

    Summary

    Wei Wuxian has always wondered what must live beyond the shore, what life must exist alongside the humans. He has lived his whole life, curious what it must be like, what terrors and wonders live past sandy beaches and rocky outcroppings. He knows he shouldn't wonder so much, that his curiosity of land and the humans who live on it might get him killed, but soon he'll leave the Jiang territory and find his own. He figures, when he leaves, he might take a quick peek above the water.

    How could he have known a man with a net was waiting for him, and more, the man wouldn't steal his life to eat his immortal flesh- but rather his heart?
