    Summary

    Grian grasps the broom handle loosely and sways side to side, letting his eyes flutter shut. His humming is the orchestra, the broom his dance partner. Back and forth, up on his toes and back down, stepping slowly in gentle circles. He imagines a hand on his waist, another holding his own. His wings twitch against the ropes.

    Summary

    "Everything could have been fine. Grian could have continued to hate the man in silence, Scar could have continued to put half his mind into the academy. It could have been like this, if it wasn’t for that stupid project. Supposed to “tighten relationships” or “create some”, “bring the best out of everyone”. But how was Grian supposed to bring the best out of a relationship he didn’t have, and he never wanted to create to begin with ?"

    Summary

    It's a classic tale of love: Grian, a mer from the depths of the sea, makes a deal with a sea witch to exchange his voice for a pair of legs and go visit the human whose life he had saved. Only in this case, Grian is more interested in the sea witch than the human.

    (If only someone had bothered to tell Scar, the sea witch in question, about this divergence).
