Alex is on a ship bound for America when it gets caught in a hurricane. Alex falls overboard, and reader saves him. He wakes up in her arms on the shore of New York while she sings to him. He asks what happened, and reader tells him. He begs her to keep singing, which ultimately ends in a kiss.

I tend to trail the boats that sail my waters.


I usually watch for trash being thrown over board, and sometimes even bodies. Usually dead, more than alive.


On the human realm, a plague has been spreading and killing lots of people. It tends to start on the boats, and that's how it spreads to the land.


But one hurricane filled night, the body that fall into the water are not only alive, but is completely accidental.


I realize that he's struggling, and I immediately dive into the water. Swimming as fast as my tail can take me, I search the hurricane ridden water for the man that fell.


"Shit.. where did he go!" I hiss to myself. I start to panic, and everything starts to swirl around me. But then I see him. 


A man with a blue jacket and long boots floats downwards several yards away from. I speed through the water and grasp him, thrusting him upwards towards the surface.


Immediately, I can tell he's not breathing. Curses run through out my head as I desperately swim to the shore and away from the horrible water.


It takes ten minutes to swim before I finally get to the beach and pull him on it. I rack my brain for some sea shanty that is supposed to wake up humans.


With mermaids, sea shanties hold magical qualities with humans. We tend to use them to lure the humans or steer them away from stuff. It depends on the mermaid and situation.


I sigh, and finally settle on a song.


"My clothes are all in pawn. Go down you blood red roses, go down. And it's mighty draughty around Cape Horn. Go down you blood red roses, go down," I start, my voice unsteady as I continue, "Oh, you pinks and posies. Go down you blood red roses, go down. It's round Cape Horn we've got to go. Chasing whales through ice and snow. Oh my old mother she wrote to me. My darling son come home from sea. Oh it's one more pull and that will do.For we're the bullies to kick her through"


Moments after I finish the song, the sailor wakes with a start, and chokes on the water he swallowed. He can't help but cough until he has no voice.


"W-What?.. where am I??" He asks, his voice a lot more raspy than I expected it to be.


"You're on the New York shore." I tell him. "The hurricane was so bad, that you fell overboard. I trail the boats that roam in these waters, and watched you fall. I scooped you up and brought you here."


"How did you?-" he starts, and then looks at my lower half. He sees my long (F/c) tail that's pulled slightly towards my chest. "Oh."


"Yea." I sigh, flailing my arms a bit to relieve the tension. It's a blessing, but also a curse. Well umm- seeings as you're ok, I'm gonna head out. I just wanted to make sure you weren't, ya know. Dead."


"Wait!" He calls out, stopping me from leaving. He moves closer to me, and stares at me, for just a moment.


He then places his lips on mine, and I can't help but enjoy them. They're plump and salt covered, and oh so sweet.


"Just as a thank you." He says, smiling, and leaving me stunned.

Damn- it's actually finished.
