#ldad asks

I just wanted you to know that I just graduated high school and am planning to major in marine biology next year, and your fic indirectly helped lead me to make that decision so thank you ^u^

OH MY GOD???? OH MY GOD MY FIC HELPED YOU PICK A MAJOR???? WHAT IF I WEPT????

I was rereading LDAD (lovely fic, btw, one of my faves) and Logan turns into a human and is unable to use his electricity.

HOWEVER, during chapter 9, it says that he can use his electricity and he even eats multiple raw fish, despite being human. Virgil takes him to his room to sleep with him, and later, Logan like... glows in the dark.

I'm confused with the situation? Is Logan human or a merman during these scenes?

hello!

the au is lovely, dark, and deep! 

- logan: man, i wish you could go swimming with me, virgil

- virgil: i mean, if the doc will let me break out the scuba gear i can

- logan: what is . . . scuba

- virgil explains the limitations to logan very clearly; he can only go so deep, he can only stay underwater so long, he has to go back up slowly or he’ll get really sick, he won’t be able to hear logan, et cetera

- logan: hears almost none of this because he is so enamored with “virgil said yes to swimming with me!!!!!!!!!”

- logan shows virgil around his favorite coral reef, showing him where he hides his seashells and showing off all of the beautiful fish and sights underwater. logan is so bright-eyed and shiny and he’s glowing with happiness and virgil is So Gay

- he gets so distracted by the sheer gay that is a happy logan in his natural habitat that he almost runs out of oxygen. luckily he gets back to the surface in time, so it’s all well and good. logan apologizes for virgil almost getting sick, but virgil insists it was his own fault

- virgil: i’d love to do it again sometime 

What if Lo asked what it was and Virgil said that it kept him happy and calm and one day virgil forgets to take his meds and Logan takes it on himself to remind the other cause he doesn’t want virgil to worry and be sad

a;sdkjf ;alksjdf;l ajsd;lkjf ;lkdsfj THIS IS SO CUTE

virgil, internally: that’s not how ssri’s work, i’ll be okay if i miss one day of medication 

virgil, internally: this is the sweetest fucking thing i have ever seen i can never let him know that this isn’t how meds work

logan, every single day: take your medicine! i want to make sure that you’re staying healthy and not being upset, i care about you!

LIME THIS IS A WONDERFUL IDEA HOLY SHIT

uuuuuuuh well thomas would definitely be an elder mer, the way that patton is, but instead of being light blue he would have scales that are a gradient from red to purple and are also iridescent. virgil, on the other hand, would likely be a vampire squid - so instead of a tail, he would have a black squid’s body with lots of tentacles and markings (google vampire squid they’re super adorable)
