How to train your siren

Pairing: Kang Yeosang (Ateez) x GN!Reader; Genre: Mermaid AU, Siren AU, hurt/comfort, fantasy, fluff, angst; Rating: sfw, PG-15; Warnings: siren!yeosang who is hurt and gets fixed up again, also missing part of his fluke and slightly on edge; Wordcount: 874

Summary: After Yeosang got hurt due to one of your inventions, you took him in. But looking after his injuries wasn’t enough for you, you also created a prosthetic for him. Which he wasn’t too keen on trying out.

A/N: I saw some sort of fanart with a boy creating an artificial fluke for a hurt merman and it gave me How to train your dragon hiccup and toothless vibes so here we are. Also out of spite I literally only wrote one scene, proving @sanjoongie and @mingsolo that I'm actually able to write something without much backstory

You grabbed onto his tail a little stronger, trying to keep him still. That wasn’t your smartest move though and you had to jump back, avoiding being hit by his webbed hand and the sharp nails.

Yeosang hissed and bared his sharp teeth, pulling his heavy tail closer to his upper body and away from you.

A loud puff left your lungs as you stemmed your hands into your hips and stared pointedly at the merman, who currently occupied your bed. You kept your eyes on him for a moment longer, before you sighed and moved away from him and over to your desk.

You sat down and grabbed your sketchbook, drawing yet another outline of his fluke. You felt his eyes on your form and sooner than later you couldn’t stand it any longer. With yet another sigh you placed the sketchbook back on your desk and turned in your chair towards him, raising one eyebrow questioningly.

Yeosang’s dark eyes held your gaze but he nervously started picking at his bandages. 

“You shouldn’t do that”, you told him, still staying in your place. “Those are supposed to help your wounds heal.”

“Then why can’t you wrap those around my fluke too?” His deep voice sounded strained and it reminded you to get him some more water.

You stood up and walked over to your little fridge, having everything - except for your bath - in one small room. You got two bottles of water and got back to him, placing one of the bottles next to your bed and the other directly in his hand after showing him how to open it.

Once you sat back on your chair and watched him drink some, you finally answered him. “Bandages can’t replace parts of a body that are missing. They can only protect hurt parts and help them heal faster.”

Yeosang scowled. He glanced down to his tail and gnawed on his lips. You have proven yourself to be trustworthy. That was the only reason he even let you get him into your home and wrap him up in that white cloth. But he couldn’t understand what you were trying to do with his tail and it irritated him.

“Look” - you raised your hand and showed him your empty palms, hoping it would reassure him somehow - “I made an artificial fluke to, well at least half of it, to match your other side. If you’d let me adjust it to your tail, you should be able to use it like nothing ever happened.”

Yeosang looked from his fluke and back to you again. He still wasn’t too sure about it but nodded nonetheless. He watched you closely as you grabbed some sort of leather thing and walked over to him again, kneeling in front of his tail.

You gently placed your hand on his tail, letting your fingers brush down to his fluke ever so slowly. You tried to be even more careful when you heard him hiss.

Even then Yeosang flicked around with his tail quite a lot, making you grumble: “Hold still.” He only hissed again, growing more and more agitated.

“It’s not my fault you swam into my fishtrap and hurt yourself that way!” You glared at him, finally having Yeosang freeze under your gaze. “I’m trying to help you, okay?” You waited for him to nod again before you returned to your task at hand.

You wrapped a small belt around the end of his tail and adjusted the artificial part of the fluke, tinkering and moving it around until you deemed it to be right.

With a contemplating look on your face, you leaned back on your feet. You crossed your arms in front of your chest and tilted your head. Of course your little invention wasn’t as colourful as the real fluke but you still thought it should be functional.

“What are you thinking?” Yeosang observed you, having one arm prepped underneath his head. He picked at the sheets underneath him, trying to hide the pout on his lips and the concern in his voice.

“Nothing in particular.”

“What does that mean?”

“I’ll be thinking more about it once you’re healed and we were able to test this. As of now I can’t be entirely sure it works but it should be functional.” You explained to him, moving to the top end of your bed. You placed your arms on the mattress and placed your chin on them, looking at Yeosang with a soft smile. “And what are you thinking?”

He glanced down at his tail, raising it slightly to have a better view. “It’s ugly.”

You snorted and shook your head before you rested your cheek on your arm and looked at his fluke as well. “Maybe I can use some of your scales and make a waterproof paste to cover the leather. But we’ll deal with that after we checked whether this works or not.”

Yeosang sighed and dropped his tail back down, turning his head to look at you again. “If we have to”, he mumbled and raised one hand to your face, brushing strands of your hair out of your face.

You smiled and tilted your head to look at him as well. “We have to.”

With her future being somewhere away from the chickens probably, Osanna is learning one of Ginger's many trades: Basketweaving.

I feel like a case could be made for it being potential future fishtrap making skills.

How to Make a Primitive Funnel #FishTrap Passive fish traps are among some of the oldest documented relics from indigenous cultures all over the globe.  Stone weirs built many hundred years ago in rivers and low tide areas still exist today.  Funneling fish for easier capture was a strategy used to put food on the table in almost every primitive culture.  While different trap designs exist, there is one design that seems to be universal – the #WovenFunnelTrap.  Whether made from bamboo in the wetlands of Asia, reeds on the coast of New Zealand or grapevine in the forests North America the funnel basket trap varied only slightly in design across multiple continents and cultures.  This speaks to its effectiveness in the field and I can confirm first hand that it is one of the most effective primitive methods for putting fish in the frying pan.  On video one method I use to build a classic Primitive Funnel Style Basket Fish Trap. There are essentially two parts to the funnel basket trap: the body and the inverted cone cap.  Lured by the scent of bait, the fish enter the main trap body through the inverted cone shaped cap.  Once inside they aren’t smart enough to figure out how to get back out.
