Prince Yuri had a curse placed on him when he was a baby. When he grows up, a wish intended to fix the curse goes awry, making the problem even worse. Eligible princesses come from far and wide to try to offer a solution in hopes of winning the prince's hand, but nothing works. Besides, Yuri only has eyes for the mysterious stranger that visits the royal gardens every night.

When Prince Yuri goes down from his mountain home to the ocean as a coming-of-age ritual, he rescues a merman from a pair of poachers. As time passes, he finds that he can't get the merman out of his mind and he ends up making a rather rash decision. (Reverse Little Mermaid Au)

He was going to help this sad soul and get to the bottom of what had caused his anguish. {infrequent mild language, non-explicit scenes of sexual content} [completed]
