A New Pod

by LilBitO_Sunny

There was a deep rattling noise followed by a groan, and Tommy snaps his attention to another panel inside the other tank. This one was parallel to his, and was far enough away that he couldn’t actually see what was inside. This panel didn’t have bars. It was just..Open. At first, nothing happened.Then, something slipped out of the opening, and into the open water beyond Tommy’s bars.He sucked in a breath and backed away a bit as he stared.It’s fucking huge.Tommy’s frozen for a moment as he stares at the monster with his heart thundering in his ears, and the monster stares right back at him with piercing eyes.Tommy blinks, and the monster moves.---Or; Tommy is a Mer pup who was "rescued" from the ocean as an infant. He spends 8 1/2 years living in a swimming pool, before his caretakers call an actual professional and he gets taken to a Rescue and Rehabilitation center. Being separated from your pod at an early age isn't fun, so they bring in resident foster dad Philza to help give Tommy the parental figure he needs.Or or; Pretty light Merfolk au with communication issues, found family, and a very confused and slightly distressed Mer pup Tommy

The Art of Drowning

by seyalore

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.)

by MistBlue

It has come to the attention of All Might and his police friends that All for One manage to slip covering up a location of one of his many hideouts in Japan. Infiltrating the site, they are astonish to find what is inside. Most of the large apartment had been turned into an aquarium. Greenery and beautiful sea life thrived at the sandy flooring of the tanks. Looking around more there are tubes that pass through the wall and into other rooms in the condo unit.Curious, they follow the tubes and lead in and out of the rooms. Some police left in certain rooms to gather data when it seemed important enough.Once reaching the last of the rooms, they discover a large tank where all the tubes connected. All kinds of fish swimming about in the tank, even a shark! Approaching closer they try to see more into the tank.All Might leans closer to the glass to get a better look at the decorated sandy flooring. Perhaps his nemesis hid something important information.Instead, something darts out from a huge rock.His awe blue eye meeting curious emerald ones.

Useful

by MelancholysSunshine

Izuku wasn’t blind. He knew his father loved the other guppies more than him. So when people came and pillaged their home, he knew it would be best for him to go. They’d leave if they found something rare right?And better him then the others of his school. With a determined heart, he swam right towards the men on the boat. He was tangled in the net and pulled out of the water, right as his father began to call his children to him. Only realizing his smallest child is missing once the boat had left their waters.
