Come Hell or High Water

Hibiki is a mermaid prince with a dangerous fascination for life on land. One trip to the surface and a shipwreck later, he finds his fate intertwined with that of Prince Yamato, a man who intends to wage war on the gods themselves for a world he sees as broken. What secrets are hidden beneath the surface, lost to time and the waves? With time running out, Hibiki needs to make Yamato see that there is a world worth protecting both above and below. Meanwhile, Yamato is curious about this mute but undeniably talented individual, who seems to find joy in every trivial thing he encounters. Can the prince change the future through his choices and fulfill the task set before him, or will his voice be swallowed by the tides of the past? (Where Hibiki inflicts many silent shenanigans on Yamato, and the author turns what could’ve been a simple and sweet AU into a complicated plot-tumbleweed.)
