Welcome to Sealantis

What story was Aunt Millie about to tell her nieces at the start of Merfolk on Mars? How exactly DID Sealantis come to be? And what exactly do clams and rutabagas have to do with it all?

This is a fanfiction inspired by none other than Crystal Scherer herself, the brilliant author of Merfolk on Mars and other stories. If you read any of her novels thanks to this fanfiction, please be sure to start with Merfolk on Mars. Simply imagining Crystal's face (or, the emojis and reaction gifs she sends in response) upon realizing her impact on others like me brings tears to my eyes. I can only hope I do her works justice with this humble story, my first ever fanfiction written on Wattpad.
happy april fools ;)
Updated M & F until the plot reveals itself sufficiently (or I bring on the apocalypse from causing viral cringe-itis)
