ESCAFLOWNE WEEK 2021 DAY 6: JOURNEY/THE FOOL (Parts 1 and 2)
Title: Somewhere Below the Sea
Summary: Merle is haunted by a mysterious melody and she will not rest until she can find its source. Her search leads her to uncharted waters and a hidden corner of Gaea.
Note: Another addition to my collection of Merle-centric fics. [1, 2, 3, 4]
Traveling Merle has practically become a genre for me at this point. But it's a good thing I reviewed my previous stories because I had almost written the same thing. Not that it ever gets old but I want to keep things fresh. As I racked my brain for ideas of places she has not yet explored (in my fics, at least), inspiration struck and here we are.
I really love giving Merle a chance to go off on her own adventures. She is a more interesting character than the series tends to give her credit for. And as I was writing this, I thought she had some Disney princess vibes, in the best way.
Musical Inspiration: 1, 2, 3, 4
