Mermaid Lagoon

By Pernille Ørum

[memoryaqua]

The Neverland Mermaids appeared in an old Disney comic called "Bubbles the Water Baby."

Unfortunately, they've been given a downgrade on their attire, dressing as blandly as Atlanticans with generic clam bras. Who is which mermaid from the movie is anyone's guess.

Entire comic is here:

After a loong time of inactivity… I’m back 🎉 I went through a very rough period and I’m not out of it yet, but still I’ve decided to “go back in the game” and hope for the best. So, here we are with the #mermay2023 ! I took the short list from this amanzing artist @aia.naiya (check her out on Instagram, she’s fantastic!) and I decided to focus on three anime/manga that I’m currently working with: #uruseiyatsura , #kimetsunoyaiba and #spyxfamily ! Let’s start with #zennezu for ‘ya all (no manga spoiler please, I’m just an anime watcher🙏🏻)!

Idea for an au (one-shot) mermay fic I am working on!

Okay so for context I am a Peter Pan fanatic and every year or so I fall into the book pretty deeply. So I thought it would be fun to do a mermay au that revolves around the actual story of Peter Pan.

Sun and Moon are mermaids that live in mermaid lagoon while reader is one of the lost children. Now mermaids in the lagoon always avoid the lost children. They dash away as soon as they come close, but they will talk with Peter (but Peter is not human really). So, I was wondering what could happen that would allow the mermaid Sun to get close with the human child? Perhaps he was caught in a net left by the pirates and the young kid saves him.

After which reader frees him and he dashes away into the depths of the lagoon, but he begins to take notice of the child, watching them to make sure they are safe in the lagoon and such. But he does not come near as that is not in his nature.

Now Moon does not approve of Sun watching over the child. He knows the rules of the Neverland, but one day when Sun is resting, he sees the child fall into the water and struggle against the tide. Moon begrudgingly helps them onto a rock before hurrying away again. At this point both mermaids are now watching the child to make sure they don’t drown in mermaids lagoon.

But one night, at the turn of the moon, when the lagoon is at its darkest, the mermaids change. They wail and cry for the moon and are more monstrous. There are rules that you don’t go to the lagoon at night without Peter. And no one, not even Peter, goes to the lagoon on the new moon. But maybe Peter forgot to tell this news to their newest lost child. He would have for sure. He forgets a lot of things.

Reader likes the lagoon. It is always nice to rest there and they are aware of the two mermaids that watch them. They hardly come too close unless they are in danger. They decide to go to the lagoon one day that Peter is gone away to the mainland and it happens to be on the night of the new moon.

They are sitting on the rocks when the sun sets over Neverland. They have never seen such a lovely sunset. But then everything gets dark and cold. The world seems to feel more dangerous. Nervously they get up to leave when the wailing of the mermaids begin.

Reader hurriedly scrambles to leave the lagoon but are grabbed by the mermaids who drag them into the water. They struggle as the mermaids bite and attack before the two mermaids they know, dark as the others fall into a frenzy on the mermaids grasping them.

Sun and moon then take reader, difficultly, to an underwater cave biting and snapping at each other all the way. They are rough with young reader but they can’t help it. The moon is gone on this night and they are not the same.

They get reader to a safe rock, or a place they can climb away to wait out the night while Moon and Sun claw at each other. They try to then attack at reader as the clouds cover the stars and reader is fearful through the night.

As daybreak rises the mermaids have fallen silent and reader, exhausted from the night, sees both Sun and Moon watching them with worried looks. Sun is the first to reach up to them, sees them flinch but he continues to reach and gently he pulls the child to him. He worries over the bruises and cuts given to them. Moon frets as well, but doesn’t come too close. He watches from a safe distance. Sun cradles reader close and Moon begins to sing so that reader can rest after the night.

Reader does fall asleep and Sun and Moon both escort them back to the Neverland shores where they make sure none of the beasts or pirates come. But with Peter gone there is relative safety on the Neverland.

After this, reader always returns to mermaid lagoon, but never on the night of the new moon, and often is given little gifts from the two mermaids. Pearls, combs, shells, and the like. Reader does the same and gives nuts, acorns, and pretty leaves they find making friends with the two mermaids that saved them.

A Disney production cel

...or a combination of cels? The poses are familiar, but I don't recall Wendy directly addressing any of the mermaids until they see her abd get angry. In any case, the cell is sold.
