your skin, oh yeah,
your skin and bones
turn into something beautiful
and you know,
you know I love you so.

the thought was this:
that all my life had been murk and depths,
but I was not a part of that dark water.
I was a creature within it.

— MADELINE MILLER, CIRCE

ARIEL "ELLIE" SERRANO was so curious all the bloody time!

It seemed like a pretty nice and simple life to follow ― her mother, music and their house on the outskirts of cornwall ( on an actual beach connecting to the caribbean ).....perhaps not for a high-spirited eleven year old with so many questions and so little answers as her mother tries to balance between being her best friend and keeping some things from her for as long as she can withhold them off. Riri already knew what a period was, still not clear on the baby-making part, and even more confused over the estranged father and the being a half mermaid part.

Alas! Ariel needs to get out and grow eventually, so on her eleventh birthday, the highly anticipated letter arrives, and her curiousity is over the horizon as she finds herself stranded on a mysterious island, ending up in a pool under a dormant volcano just as a full moon passes above her, turning her life upside-down.

Now she has to deal with being a supposed "monster" while going to a school where she knows no one except for a very nice redhead, while battling everyday teen struggles like academic pressures or stupid crushes on the cutest boys who make her even more confused than she already is!

Well, accidentally triggering your mermaid-ness is not quite as fun as she thought it would be.

- hiii! first i wanna welcome you all to 'THE LITTLE MERMAID' <3

- please dont plagiarize or judge too harshly, english isnt my first language even tho my god complex shines the brightest in english class bahaha. graphics are mine unless credited.

- this book is based on the harry potter books but in no way do i support jk r*wling. this book might contain mature themes hp deals with (war, grief, death, etc) and others for which disclaimer will be provided in chapters, mostly lighthearted tho.

- ik the synopsis sucks BUT I HAVE SM PLANNED OMG. and yes this is a little inspired by h2o:just add water as well as other mermaid-related forms of media, and i will be diverting from canon regarding merpeople as there isnt much stuff available from hp.

- and i would v v much appreciate you guys voting and commenting, these lil things really help. anyways my point is, i love ellie and this story to bits and am so glad you are giving her journey a try xx

lots of love, saumya <3
