Send “In Another Life” and I’ll tell you a fact about an AU version of my character.

In Mermaid AU, Hakuba meets Kaito the merman while fishing on a lake. Kaito’s searching for his BFF Shinichi, who was captured by hunters, and has been travelling up rivers for dAaAAYS and he’s SO HUNGRY. He decides to play pranks on Hakuba and systematically steals his entire lunch, all of the bait, and, accidentally, the pocket watch. Kaito returns is later while Hakuba is despairing over his campfire, and then is befriended by the detective when he feeds Kaito s’mores.

It was very cute.
