Mermaids are like crows: they like collecting shiny, mysterious objects and take them back to their underwater caves to decorate their coral trees. They love the holiday season too!
I drew this for a Christmas card years ago, and finally got it up on Redbubble:

I loved the Sea witch!Dream/Merman!Hob prompt and I wanted to play around with Dream's and possessiveness.
I’m coming at this sideways, but stay with me.
When Cori left his village he knew he'd be back one day. There was something, someone, there that belonged to him.
Cori had watched Hob grow from a wiggling bundle of seaweed to an alluring, young mer, wild and free. As the orphans of their village they had gravitated together due to their shared circumstances, but soon grew to be the best of friends. No one else could understand them better than the other. No one else cared enough. No one else bothered to try. They were each others, in a way no one else could touch. And if anyone dared to try Cori would make sure they weren't alive to feel the next tide.
As Cori neared adulthood he knew he’d need to leave. He needed secure work to provide for Hob and their future family. He also needed a way to secure Hob's undying, romantic affections. He knew Hob loved him, but he didn't love Cori the same way Cori loved him. He couldn't have that. No one else was allowed to have Hob. Hob belonged to him and he knew just the being that could grant his desire.
Hob was exploring a ravine on the edge of Dream's territory when he a body slammed into him, spinning him around, leaving him dazed and pinned against the ravine wall. He could feel hands patting along his body and he struggled to lift his own, to push them away.
“Hob! Hob. You're alive.”
Words washed over him and were swept away, as if they were caught in a current.
“I knew it! They lied to me. You would never leave me that like.”
Wait. He knew that voice. It was loved and dearly missed. It was family and comfort and affection.
“What happened, Hob? You didn't wait for me.” There was hurt there, under sharp worry.
“Cori. Missed you.” Hob blinked, slow, fought to bring the world into focus, to place his hands on Cori's chest. It felt like fighting against the weight of the deep ocean, but he managed it. Cori looked fiercer than when he left, broader in shoulder. There where ornaments braided into his hair and something dark and reflective over his eyes.
“I’m here now. Nothing will ever separate us again.” There were hands on his face, cradling him. Cori was growing closer. “I'll take care of everything.”
Lips touched his. No. That was wrong. A tongue invaded his mouth. No. Only Dream was allowed to do that. Something poured down his throat, sulphurous and bitter. No!
Grey, soft and distorting, stole the world away and Hob knew no more.
Dream feels it when the tether tying Hob to him snaps. The sharp, sweet taste of Desire’s magic sliding along his palate and, fainter, the reverberating, whispers of Despair. How dare they! Hob is his, in magic and oath and body.
Dream threw himself from his cave, gathering shadows as he went. The seas would run red with blood until Hob was once more in his arms.
And then I ran out of steam. I didn't know if I wanted Hob to be pregnant already or not. I suppose it depends on if you want to lean more into horror, like Cori forcing a miscarriage, or drama, with Dream storming the castle underprepared, but in the nick of time.
I also thought it'd be great for Dream to head immediately to Desire and Despair, thinking they were deliberately trying to provoke him, only to learn he wasn't a factor at all. The were fulfilling the wish of a obsessive and possessive merman, but they would be willing to give him the name in exchange for a small favor.
They last thing I have is a scene of Hob and Dream home once again. Hob wrapped up in Dream's tentacles, barely able to move while Dream croons mine and love and never again against Hob's skin. Hob responds with his own refrain: yours and always and forever entangled.
— 🏵
This is sooooo!!! Good!!!! I love the drama of it all!!!!!!
I'm imagining Hob being locked away in the cave where Cori takes him. He tried to fight against the magic and swim away, but Cori caught him and locked him away in a cage made from the remnants of a shipwreck. No matter how much Hob begs, Cori just hushes him and tell him to calm down - he's been brainwashed by that terrible sea witch Dream, but soon he'll remember that he really belongs to Cori. He always has and always will, and however long it takes, Cori will help him see that.
Hob only stops fighting and begging when he realises that he's carrying Dream’s clutch of eggs. Fortunately the pregnancy isn't very obvious from the outside, but Hob is terrified that Cori will crush the eggs if he finds out. Hob becomes compliant, but whenever Cori goes to sleep, Hob works on tools to try and pry open the cage.
Meanwhile Dream is trying not to throttle his siblings as they refuse to take responsibility for their actions. They claim that they just gave Cori the ability to reclaim his chosen mate, nothing more. Dream growls and thrashes against the water, nearly causing a tsunami, but he grits his teeth and agrees to give up some of his territory to the twins - IF they will reveal Hob’s location.
Once he knows where to find Cori, Dream grows so large in size he can simply reach out with a tentacle across leagues and leagues of the ocean and grab the merman who has stolen Hob away. Hob can only hear Cori's screams and shrieks of pain as the scales are stripped from his body, his eyes are removed, and he's finally slammed repeatedly against the seafloor. It's horrible. But Hob breathes a sigh of relief. His eggs will be safe, now.
And soon Dream is there with him. Prying open the cage and plucking Hob out of the cave entirely, he squeezes Hob against his body tight. He only lets up a bit when Hob yelps and tells him to be careful with the eggs! Eggs!!!
Dream practically ties Hob up in his own tentacles to keep him safe on the way home, which is surprisingly pleasant. Hob feels safe in the comfortable restraints. He nuzzles against Dream and clings on tight, knowing for sure that Dream will never let him out of his sight again - Hob is very much okay with that. He'll be a piece of treasure in Dream’s deep-sea hoarde. Particularly if their precious clutch of eggs get to grow and live safely.
All Dream has to say to that is yes. mine.

MORE LEMON SHARK HANAYAMA PLS PLS PLS
and thank you <3
singlehandedly keeping my Baki addiction alive
Why thank you. I certainly try to be a comfort blog that occasionally has horny content.
Yandere Baki Head Canons
Lemon Shark Hanayama Kaoru x Nurse Shark Reader
Merman Hanayama Kaoru
Kaoru wasn’t fond of other fish or humans so when his human caretakers informed him of a possible tank mate, he was furious. How dare they try putting more fish with him. He already has his little gang of remoras and other lemon shark mermen, what more could he need? He’s not very fond of the humans like his companions either so he usually roams around by himself (or with Remora Kizaki)
So imagine his surprise when they plop you into the tank. You’re the first nurse shark to arrive and you were not having it. You hide in the reefs and stay far away from him and the others. You just sleep all day and roam around at night while him and the others are asleep. You stay far away from him.
Kaoru’s interest is peaked when he notices how afraid of the humans you are. You’re skittish and you’re constantly looking for a way out. He was curious about you
You always zoom past him whenever he nears you and at first he thought it was cute but now he was annoyed. He was trying to talk to you. Stop ignoring him
Kaoru overheard the caretakers talking about how nurse sharks are sociable and usually are in groups to keep safe from predators. So now it makes sense to him on why you avoid him. You probably think he’s going to eat you! And now he feels bad.
Kaoru takes it upon himself to start laying near you until you finally let him rest beside you. He grows to really enjoy being by your side. He scares away any of the other sharks that try to approach him and you cling to his side for protection. He loves it
Kaoru grows more possessive of you as time goes on, especially when some other nurse sharks are introduced. He chases them all away from you. Your his cuddle buddy and no one else’s. He refuses to share you
Then the gifts start. Necklaces and hair ornaments made of beautiful shells, crustaceans, meaty fish, and nesting materials were all given to you from Kaoru. The quiet merman only staring at you as you tilted your head off to the side. You politely declined him but he’d thrust the gifts into your hands. You had no choice but to accept them from this abnormally large merman (he’s scary)
And that’s how you find yourself being forced to accept him as your mate and protector. There was no way you’d even be able to escape him anyways in this glass prison

Hidden Gems: A Shadowgast Rec List
This week, we have one of our recurring themes: fics with fewer than 150 kudos! Check under the cut for fourteen amazing fics that you might have missed the first time around:
Ocean Blues by Vailee (3836,General)
Warnings: None
On a remote island, Caleb meets a merman named Essek.
Reccer says: The description of merman Essek with his fins and tail is very adorable.
Breaking Inertia by futureshieldmaiden (31096,Teen)
Warnings: None
A time loop fic where Bren has to work with the Shadowhand Essek Thelyss to straighten out time.
Reccer says: There's a lovely slow burn between the two, and I like the plot develops - with a couple of twists along the way.
flurries by quinn_of_aebradore (1381,General)
Warnings: none
Caleb and Essek visit a night market
Reccer says: It's extremely sweet and soft, with a warm and cozy wintertime feel to it.
the start: wings to chase the sky by mllekurtz (TheKnittingJedi) (2662,Teen)
Warnings: None, but note that the other part of the duology has its own tags! (calamity fic)
Part of a duology of an Age of Arcanum AU where Caleb and Essek are prestigious wizards of Avalir. A getting-together ficlet.
Reccer says: Mlle is so good at writing the shadowgast getting together, and it's fun to see the wizards in this lavish arcane world.
in the blood by VexedVixen (11075,Mature)
Warnings: None
Vampire!Essek rescues an injured Caleb and brings him to his towers in Rosohna. Caleb is them offered a job by Essek - a job that includes donating some blood.
Reccer says: The worldbuilding is so cool! Always nice to see a good vampire AU.
A Thousand Words, Unspoken by soot_and_salt (3150,General)
Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings (technically, but it's not a dark story)
Caleb runs a YouTube channel where he films himself restoring paintings. The latest one to come in is a portrait of a beautiful drow man.
Reccer says: If you're familiar with the story of Pygmalion and Galatea, it's a little like that.
you're the only light i've ever known by glossolali (1463,Teen)
Warnings: None
After their bath, Essek combs and plays with Caleb's hair. Caleb enjoys himself.
Reccer says: It's very sweet and tender. And like the author says in the end note, it shows how Caleb has changed and healed over the course of campaign 2.
Break Me, Mend Me by Kaiannae (21835,Mature)
Warnings: Depiction of depression and self-sabotage, CNC if you squint, borderline force feeding if you squint.
Caleb's self-loathing is rearing its ugly head and he is spiraling out of control, pushing his friends and chosen family away, isolating himself from those who care about him and attempting to sabotage everything good in his life. Eventually, Essek decides to do something about it. He knows that nothing mundane like talking would be of any help, so he offers Caleb what the human thinks he wants: punishment, atonement, debasement, a way to quiet the vicious voices in his head.
Reccer says: BDSM as therapy, sort of, getting into Caleb's head for the character study, aftercare for the masses, doms and subs alike.
Silver Couches To Recline Upon And Ornaments Of Gold by soot_and_salt (3242,Teen)
Warnings: None
Essek, unable to leave the tower he resides in, finds a cat on his balcony. He soon discovers there is more to this cat than he could have ever imagined.
Reccer says: It is a fairy tale au and I am a big fan of fairy tales.
Let the River Carry You by Operafloozy (2983,General)
Warnings: none
Essek knits something for each of the Nein
Reccer says: It's very sweet and thoughtful, and I love the description of the patterns
in vaults and cherished amber by allinna (4406,Teen)
Warnings: none
At the Vurmas Outpost, Essek receives some well-deserved love from Caleb and the M9.
Reccer says: it's a sweet, comfy fic that makes you smile! what more would you want.
born from beauty by hanap (2375,Explicit)
Warnings: None
Caleb and Essek have a conversation about their respective experiences with gender and what it means to feel at home in one's body, after which Essek shows his love for Caleb's body by giving him a blowjob.
Reccer says: I resonate with both Caleb and Essek's experiences of gender in this fic, so it was a lovely experience getting to read how much the two of them love each other's bodies that are so similar to mine.
if only I could see your face by lakrisrot (3399,Explicit)
Warnings: Can read having a sex-negative to sex-neutral POV character
Caleb spends some time with Essek after the Transmogrification fails. They end up more intimate that expected.
Reccer says: This fic offers a very intriguing look into Essek's mind as an asexual/demi person. I very much enjoyed that.
And two recs for
the hole in the stone by MinnesotaBruja (13243,Teen)
Warnings: Animal/Pet Death
Shortly after the end of campaign 2, Essek takes a position as a lighthouse keeper on a remote island north of Eiselcross. The fic is comprised of his letters to Caleb.
Reccer 1 says: Essek cares for chickens while living on the island and I find it extremely sweet. Reccer 2 says: Beautiful, heartbreaking, so very well written you will most definitely cry and it's worth every tear!

I made another OFMD shipping video, transcription under the cut
GentleBeard - Once episode 3 came out, you ran out to get one of those gay merman ornaments, even if you don’t celebrate christmas
EdIzzy - you were mad about the season finale, you’re still mad about the season finale. You’re never going to stop being mad about the finale. In fact, I’m surprised you're watching this, I thought you rage-quit the fandom
SteddyHands - Ed and Stede became a weird couple, Izzy became a unicorn. You just put two and two together.
Stizzy - you're a big believer in the inherent eroticism of being a bitchy old queen
Sprizzy - you think every bitchy old queen needs a bitchy young protege
Fang/Izzy - you know those memes about how big dogs think they're puppies and little dogs are aggressive little freaks? That's your ideal ship dynamic.
Anne/Mary - there’s a predominant online opinion that sapphic ships should be soft and pure. You vehemently disagree.
Archie/Jim - you know having a good coworker is the key to surviving a toxic workplace. Especially if you get to see their boobs.
Teal Oranges - on one hand, you’re disappointed because your ship got pushed to the sidelines, but on the other, everyone else’s kinda turned into a mess so you’re a little relieved
Zheng/Oluwande - the sexiest thing someone can have to you is common sense. Especially if they're surrounded by idiots.
Archie/Jim/Oluwande - the phrase “polyamorous workplace just chilling situationship" makes perfect sense to you
Garlic Soup - everyone here seems to get along and has openly communicated their feelings. Congratulations, you’ve won Our Flag Means Death shipping.
Spanish Jackie/the Swede - your ideal ship dynamic is girlboss/malewife
CJizzy - you're happy to see your ship reunited! ...Kind of.
Pete/Lucius - you think the wedding deserved a whole episode, and IT DID.
ButtHands - you don't think Izzy's dead. You think he's just in the gravy basket.
Ed/Hornigold - you have daddy issues that would make Lana Del Rey jealous.
Izzy/Steak Knife - you're a size queen.
Frenchie/Roach - you think there's a another nut product Roach could feed Frenchie
Rizzy - your AO3 bookmark section is nothing but fix-it fics where Roach tends to Izzy’s gunshot wounds
Fang/Roach - being in this stressful ass fandom has really made you appreciate two people who just wanna chill the fuck out
Buttons/the sea - you actually got what you wanted this season

🔪🥐🏜️
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
I already mentioned Mercury's in Gatorade in a previous ask, so I had to think back on this one and I finally remembered that um... Making Waves had some spiraling late-night searches that resulted in me winging it with some of the merman details. On the other hand, did you know that there are buff merman ornaments out in the wild? Yeah. The names are delightful but I can't imagine these on a Christmas tree
🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh
Aging myself, but the Save Sean Bean Campaign. Bless his heart he did make it through Troy...but he was also Odysseus so...
🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?
Anything that lets me know someone enjoyed it. I've got some on ao3 I need to reply to (just haven't had the spoons for a bit). I dunno I think that if you're gonna take a minute of your day to comment, let the person who wrote it know that there was something that you liked about it. I've gotten some in the past where the person told me that they normally wouldn't have gone for something with a particular tag in it, but they liked the approach I took with it.
They could have hit the back button and skipped on it, but they kept going and found something positive to say about it. That means a lot, cause I know some things I've written are hit and miss and won't appeal to everyone.
Thanks for the ask, @paragons-saga!
