Okay, so I wrote a Hazbin Hotel merfolk AU for Mer-May, and I need you to understand what you're getting into 🌊
📌 it's called Hellwater Queens and it lives on ao3
the premise: everyone is a merperson. females run the pods. males are consorts at best. Lucifer is king over all of Hell Sea but make no mistake — the queens do whatever they want.
there is a full ecology. hunting seasons. breeding seasons. rites of passage. baby calves. territory disputes that end in bloodbaths. the smell of blood in the water attracting sharks during birthing season. this is not a cozy little mermaid AU. this is teeth.
🐚 the Carmine pod: matriarch energy, razor sharp, fiercely protective of their calves 🔱 the Hazbin pod: small, chaotic, somehow surviving on vibes and found family ⚡ the Vee pod: controlling deep water currents nobody else dares touch ✨ the Heaven Sea: Sera's watching the depths and she does not like what she sees
if you like: worldbuilding-heavy fics, matriarchal societies, ensemble casts, creature biology, found family dressed up in scales, and queens who mean business —
this one's for you.
