A World Once Familiar, Redux (Splatoon/Subnautica x Male Reader)

New cover is designed by Tumblr user @nalina-nw

If you had to summarize the previous five years of your life into one word, to encapsulate squidnapping, murder, imprisonment, survival, and forced evolution in order to see the next day, it would simply be "torment."

You were supposed to just be the average inkling, Y/n L/n, known by many as the secretive, small-time singer Seaside, known best for his hidden identity and performances by the street, in garages, bars, wherever one could stop to listen and give money.

Those days came, and before you could learn to appreciate them, they were gone, just like you were that fateful day you woke up away from home, just like the day you were banished to the oceans and the dangers of the planet 4546B, and just like the day you finally returned home, five long years later, to a world once familiar...

In case it's not obvious, this is the rewrite to A World Once Familiar. I plan on expanding upon the main character (who I call Harbor Maria in place of Y/n L/n), Agent 3, and improve several scenes, as well as give the whole story some much-needed polish and a touch of my more modern writing.
