Full Moon Shanty
Wei Wuxian felt too heavy, it was hard to even lift his head.
“So you refuse to cry, huh? Don't you want to show your true self?” The pirate donned in golds and dark browns lifted the merman’s chin; the urge to rip his head away and bite the fucker’s hand was an immediate response but the merman was so tired after being treated so roughly that he just leveled him with a glare instead.
Refusing to say anything to the detestable pirate, he turned his head away with as much force as he could muster. The pirate tsked and let him, standing up and brushing his hands off as if having touched something quite disgusting. “Alright. Think about it a bit longer then.” He adjusted his hat and left him there in the brig, bruised and bleeding.
He heard the pirate crew cheer once more and break out into a sea shanty soon after, deceivingly joyous. Wei Wuxian had once enjoyed the far-off sound of a sea shanty; now he wasn’t sure he’d ever see it the same way again.
🎵 Here's a health to the dear lass, that I love so well,
For her style and her beauty, sure none can excel,
There's a smile on her countenance, as she sits on my knee,
There's no man in this wide world, as happy as me 🎵
He lifted his head, staring at the nearest crack in the boards to the sky. Seeing the moon shine so brightly into the darkness of the brig, he felt a renewed desire to move- to escape.
🎵 Here's a health to the company, and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry, all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never, all meet here again 🎵
The merman took a deep breath and grimaced as his arms changed, shifting into ethereal, shimmering blues and slipping through the chains that had once held him up against the wall and nearly falling to the floor once he had. He winced and rubbed his wrists, panting quietly as he listened to the sailors cheer and sing, eventually getting up to check the brig and see if there was some way he could get out.
🎵 Our ship lies at anchor, she's ready to dock
I wish her safe landing, without any shock 🎵
Finding a small crack in the hull, he glanced back and around one more time to make sure no one was there before his body shifted, spilling like water through the cracks and back into the sea.
🎵 If ever I should meet you, by land or by sea
I will always remember, your kindness to me 🎵
He swam and swam and swam, the sound of their voices disappearing past the waves of water. All he could think about was to return to his traveler’s shadows. to rest.
Here's a health to the company, and one to my lass
Let us drink and be merry, all out of one glass
Let us drink and be merry, all grief to refrain
For we may or might never,
all meet here again
🎵
Lan Wangji lifted his head and shielded his eyes from the sun, staring out over the glistening waters with a frown.
He hadn’t been finding nearly as much lately. Usually, he found shells, stones, pearls, and all sorts of fantastic things. He always hoped it was his faceless savior, and…well, now he was hoping it wasn’t.
He folded his arms over his knees and watched the sea foam over the shore, worry heavy in his chest.

Okay so there's this idea for a fic I've been thinking of.
The jl are combating something that can only be touched with magic, jl dark is unresponsive (they got stuck in another dimension again), and cap - their only other magic user - is too injured.
But when they start stressing cap just slams a sheaf of papers of the table like 'pick between yourselves what powers you want, it's one each. Ig I'll sponsor you for today'.
Everyone: what?
Cap, spreading the papers to show each has a letter... Spelling out a magic word?: I'm serious. Do you want a cool new power? Consequence free? For as long as you need?
Batman:... Are you saying... You can... Give out powers?
Cap: my powers, yes. Flash, put Mercury back. That's pointless.
It'd be a great chance to have him explain his powers as a sort of reveal, including why he doesn't do it (it divides his power equally and thus severely weakens him). Also it would be very funny, I think, to see the jl in colour coded marvel suits being basically patroned by Billy. Batman has a blindingly white cowl. Flash has a cape. There's so much 'wait this chill childlike guy from some random city is actually insanely powerful' potential.
But also:
Batman, slowly pinwheeling through the air: how do I steer.

New Agent? New Agent! Agent 5 :)
Sent to a crumbling human city ruin besieged by endless rain, this octoling has to deal with his ink being washed away mere moments after hes turfed. The relentless fall of water is also a danger to his own life -- as such, he relies on sheltered roosts to fire at enemies and switches from a distance.
Its a city that moves and rotates with the flow of water and tides. Secrets are said to lie at the very center of this city labyrinth rolled by waves.
More deets below!!
The labyrinthian city is based off of the labyrinth in Piranesi! A roiling sea as its floor, the sky its ceiling. Architecture ranging from classical works to more modern ones. Statues *everywhere.*
The tides change, sometimes chasing Agent 5 up several levels. The rain is relentless in most floors. In the sheltered areas, mechanical enemies stalk, as if guarding the secrets laying in the center.
The occasional salmonid swims in the waters or hops along the haunted, empty halls. Most will fight 5, but there are few who'd rather chat with a certain "Agent 6" that usually scouts ahead of 5.
Theres another person on this trip -- Cap3! They were the one who somehow found this place and wanted to explore it. Due to their disabilities though, they need to bring someone else along. "6" was available, but they wanted to bring another face just in case he gets carried away. They found 5 in a ranked match that they were watching -- one of the best snipers theyve ever seen. And thats exactly who they needed.
Anyways, the three of them have a moving base in the labyrinth. Setting up camp in deeper and deeper areas of the labyrinth. They avoid shorelines when they can, due to rising tides, but if theres no more choice they will settle there. A friendly salmonid tends to strike up conversation with 6 whenever they do.
Otherwise, 6 and Cap3 chat (6 speaks, Cap3 signs) about an interesting statue, a map, or the occasional text that the seas allow to surface. Its different in every base camp.
