Hi, I'd like to recommend 'impossible to stay away, impossible to stay' by dragongirlG. I feel like it's tragically underrated. It's a Shape of Water AU featuring LWJ as a Chinese merperson and WWX as the janitor who rescues him from the research facility. It really captures the vibe of the movie, and it's a masterpiece in storytelling across different genres as well as in characterization. The way the author integrated Chinese culture and language was also very impressive.

impossible to stay away, impossible to stay

by dragongirlG, Sixlayerhouse (sixlayerhouse) (E, 34k, wangxian, jiang cheng & wei wuxian, jiang siblings)

Summary:  Wei Ying is a downtrodden janitor at the Wen Research Institute, cut off from his former life due to a restrictive employment contract. By chance he meets one of the institute's experimental subjects: a captive jiaoren (mercreature) named Lan Zhan, with whom he forms a deep and unexpected bond. When he witnesses Lan Zhan's life being threatened, he takes it upon himself to free the jiaoren and take him to safety. After a brief honeymoon period of domestic bliss, Wei Ying releases Lan Zhan back into the ocean so that Lan Zhan can make his way home. Months later, both of them are met with a joyful surprise when Wei Ying gets lost in the canals of Suzhou.

I got this comment on my Nile river merman design a while ago and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. So I have Naddaha a friend (*cough* queer coded love interest). Bes is a young prince next in line to be pharoh but wants to just do rebellious youngster things. He falls into the river and gets pulled out by Naddaha, spends the next few years looking for him and they meet again when the Nile suddenly gets dry and they have to go on a quest to get the water back.

((Also I promise they are appropriate toned for Egyptians but the blue filter makes them look kinda green, oops))

What mer-creature do you all think the League would be?

I can see Mina as a mer-seahorse and Nemo as a mer-octopus

Spark form #25: Meet the Mer-creature! A popular half-fish, half-human from pretty much all cultures.

Mer-creature sparks spend all their time in rivers, lakes, and oceans. they're one of the most solitary sparks and often live in groups following sea serpent sparks. Partially for protection and partially for company.

many more spark forms are on their way! Hope these help you all to make your own spark OCS for the comic!
