Yanderemermaid Stories

Once upon a time, a merman fell in love with a human. He watched this human from afar until he rescued them by accident, and he fell even deeper in love. He traveled down to the sea witch's cave and begged to become human to be with his love. The witch recalled a time in which he had fallen in love with a human as well, and from out of the kindness of his heart, granted his wish, unaware that they seemed to kindle a flame for the same a human. Though, both are determined to be the win the heart of the mortal they love, no matter what it takes. (Story and drawings are owned by me)

When I opened my eyes again, the creature was still there, their gaze fixed on me. They emitted a series of soft trills, a melodic response that seemed to convey understanding and empathy. I reached out once more, my fingers brushing against the creature's sleek skin. They let out a delighted sounding purr and the tendrils on the other side of the water gently swayed, creating a mesmerizing dance of light and shadow on the cave walls. "You saved me," I whispered, my voice filled with gratitude. "I don't know how or why but thank you so much. I...I almost died."
