Summary
Something bright catches his eye, he stops in front of an old antique store, a long seal fur coat hangs in the window, pristine and gleaming, it glows in the orange of the sodium lights within.
He walks to the glass, brows drawn slightly together, he reaches a hand up and lets his fingertips fan out across the condensation slick surface. Breath mingles there and his own blue eyes stand reflected in the glass, projected on the white fur, a mirage, and the closer he looks the more flecks of golden blonde seem to appear throughout.
It's familiar, on the tip of his tongue, it convalesces like some frail creature in his mind's eye, gathering strength the longer he looks.
He tastes salt, feels water press against ear drums, the world grows muffled and an endless buffet of waves seems to roil through him without ever touching him at all.
---------
Will ends up with a selkie's coat, entirely on accident of course, and it sets off a chain of events that change his life forever.
