Summary
While mermaids are common knowledge, merfolk are not actually all that common. That’s why when word is spread that a mer is being made to fight in an underground arena for criminals to bet on, action must be taken. Or
Baby mer keith was born into a hard life of fighting every day just to live another day, but when strange humans come and take him away, he doesn't understand what is happening nor what they want.

Summary
Denki knows full well that there’s never really been a question needed as to whether the mer exist. They ‘exist’ to humanity these days in the same way the true fae and titans do: in fossils and relics, and stories from an age when magic held the world carefully in its palms and instilled new wonders with every gentle whisper.
It’s not like magic is gone— far from it. But the creatures that breathed magic, bled it, held together by miracles and timelessness and enigma… well, they’re another story.
Which is why he’s having a hard time comprehending the visual feed from his sea rover.
(Or: Kaminari Denki saves a siren and ends up in over his head.)

Summary
Strapping the goggles and mask on, he gave the all-clear and hopped into the water. It was practically frothing with bubbles, and if the situation were less serious he might have made a joke about Finding Nemo and a bubble volcano, but as it stood he could barely see a thing and his anxiety was sky high.
Studying mers for upwards of a decade had given him a healthy respect for how dangerous they were when humans threatened their territory, let alone when they were brooding with a grudge. He wanted what was best for Big Red, and he was absolutely certain that Red did not know that yet. He’d feel a lot better about all this if they could actually see the mer, but with how frothy the water was, Tim could barely see two feet in front of him.
He had a desperate, fleeting hope that he wasn't about to be murdered, but the shifting shadows around him weren't very promising.

Summary
“I understand you’ve been harmed by . . . by my kind, Hitoshi, and I won’t invalidate those experiences . . . but U.A. exists to see you recover and thrive in a safe space.” Aizawa wished Kouda were here; did Hitoshi even understand human speech patterns yet? “We’re asking a lot out of you . . . but could you promise me you’ll let us know when you’re feeling ill so we may give you the proper care.”
Hitoshi stared at him impassively before he clicked his tongue and disappeared into the small forest of kelp, tail flicking behind in a lazy sweep. The edges of Aizawa’s lips quirked, nonetheless, as he thought, problem child.
3 times Hitoshi was sick and stayed hidden. +1 where he did the opposite.

Summary
It is an undisputable fact that sirens are beautiful. Their patterns are unique and colorful with scales as hard as rock, their hair is as smooth as silk and twice as durable, and their teeth can be ground down to make the most shining pieces of jewelry.
Of course, even if catching and harvesting a siren will mean you'll never have to work another day in your life, it's not going to be easy. Sirens are intelligent and fierce. You're a thousand times more likely to be eaten by one than successfully catch one.
But humans can be smart too. They know they only need to catch a couple of them before they can start making their own.Hiatus until spring
