Specific warnings you may like to know about!

-This is PG-13, but be warned. There will be . Mostly non-ual. (I said, mostly *coughs*)

-This is a modern au merman fic, so my world-building had to be especially crafty. Please ignore any plot holes. If I left them, it was probably intentional because, omg dealing with mermen in the modern world is kind of hard!

-It's mostly fluff and stuff, Baekhyun being thrown into deep water, both physically and metaphorically.

-There is SOME violence near the end, but nobody dies, so, phew!

Thank you, and I really hope you like the fic!

 

So excited to be nominated! Keep an eye out for the full nominations list and upcoming voting at Exo Fic Awards!

Foreword

Mermaidsthose half-human, half-fish sirens of the sea—are legendary sea creatures chronicled in maritime cultures since time immemorial… The belief in mermaids may have arisen at the very dawn of our species. Magical female figures first appear in cave paintings in the late Paleolithic (Stone Age) period some 30,000 years ago, when modern humans gained dominion over the land and, presumably, began to sail the seas…

But are mermaids real? No evidence of aquatic humanoids has ever been found. Why, then, do they occupy the collective unconscious of nearly all seafaring peoples? That’s a question best left to historians, philosophers, and anthropologists.

Chapter 10: Great story!! Seriously I loved it a lot. Didn't see Minseok as a merman, thought Luhan might be one.
Of course the 2 scowlers of their group - Yifan & Kyungsoo - would become friends lol.
Sehun and Baek's friendship to relationship progress was so cute and fluffy.
Congrats on the baby!! :)

Oh. My. God. Okay so I read this story a while back when I was just starting to get into Exo and I loved it. I just read your Chanxing letters story and I loved that as well. This time I decided to check out the rest of your stories and lo and behold I find this again. I just wanted to say you're an amazing author and I love all that I've read so far and I will continue to read your stories. Keep up the amazing work!

Chapter 9: I really didn't know what to expect when you first published this and I was a bit unsure if I'd enjoy sebaek, but I thought that I've always love all your other stories so why not give it a go (I'll admit that xiuhan as sides helped convince me) I LOVED IT! I was hooked from the beginning! I forego my beautysleep to read, and you can tell I look like a mess :( But it was worth every second of it!! It was hella intriguing!

I'd love a prequel or something 'bout xiuhan tho~

Chapter 9: How lovely was this?! The AU was super interesting; my only complaint is that it was way too short - at the very least, it deserves spinoffs. ;)
Anyway, great job. :)
