A while ago I wrote a fic for LFB72′s beautiful Reverse art and she’s kindly given me permission to post her art!
My fic is here:
Spindrift
After saving Arthur's life, merman Merlin finds himself banished from the sea. Moving in with Arthur seems to be the only option - after all, how hard can life on land be?
Harder than expected as it turns out, especially when Merlin's secret is discovered by the wrong people...
BUT WAIT! The amazing @letstheriveranswer also wrote a fic for the art, check it out here:
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Merman (the ocean remix)
Merlin lives a fairly simple life underwater. He teaches history, and he teaches magic. The magic teaching isn’t allowed, though, and to test his loyalty, Queen Nimueh sends him on a mission to destroy a nearby ship and drown any and all passengers. When Merlin can’t bring himself to kill the handsome sailor, instead saving his life, Queen Nimueh bans him from the ocean, forcing him to take up a new life on land.
