Chapter 1: Kyaaa~ I thought this will be angst. I thought she will live alone. I thought my heart will be broken, after a long chapter. I glad it didn't. I'm happy that they now can live together, something that is impossible when he was a human. This story is sweet and I enjoy my reading. Actually I also wanted to read navi with one is male and another is female too. But I never found one. So thanks for this! And I wish you'll make more navi fanfic. Hehe.

Chapter 1: I loved this SOOOOOO much. It was super cute especially at the end it was just OH MY GOD, but it was also sad mid way and I wanted to cry cause I was already really emotionally attached to this version of navi that you had created and URG it was just really good. Your writing was beautifully done and I think the whole story lay out was really good and the differences that you created between the human and the mer world. Iv never really read mermaid au's before cause I never really took an interest in them I guess, so I'm kind of inexperienced in this sort of area so I'm not really sure what similarity a this version of the au has compared to others but this was just so so good I think I would start reading more of them if they were like this. Sorry for the ramble but it was just....so good :D <3

Chapter 1: While I am familiar with some variations of mermaid stories, this was an absolute delight to read and the final twist was particularly wonderful. I noticed a bit of pronoun confusion here and there, which threw me off in the beginning, but then that all fell away as the rest of the story began to unfold. It was quite wonderfully done too.

The first meeting went as expected and I had to laugh at how things played out as he actually tossed her back in the water. haha But then more followed, and despite pretty much knowing how things were going to go (to a point), it did nothing to detract from my enjoyment of seeing it all unfold. I especially loved the way you were able to point out some of the less desirable truths of humans (i.e. the pearls and why Wonshik couldn't keep them, among other things) and compare them to mermaid society in a way that made me briefly want to be one myself. lol Except for the unblemished skin part. haha Scars are y. ;) I'm with Hongbin on that. XD

And then things took the inevitable turn but I hadn't expected what Hakyeon feared. I probably should have but didn't. And then it actually did happen and I was aghast they brought him back. For a moment, I was outraged at the slap in the face to Hakyeon, and then the twist happened. And all was better than just right with the world again. *happy sighs* Your explanation of it all was easy enough to accept and believable to the point where it definitely didn't make me wonder with any of my usual questions. lol

I certainly had to laugh at the red kelp at the end there. I understood the significance and the symbolism (the ocean knows best after all) but it was still a delight to read. Thank you very much for sharing this. I'm glad Tigress recommended it for sure. ^_^

Chapter 1: I enjoyed this immensely, and felt the suspense as I was nearing the finale. It's really so, so good. Thank you, there are barely new (and good) navi stories these days sob, so this was just like a gift.
