Summary

As a companion to my series Creatures That Defy Logic, I have opened requests for short scenes of our merpeople interacting with various sea creatures!

All stories are canon-compliant to both the movie and the rest of my series - I would advise that new readers catch up on the main story before delving into these

Title is taken from Cody's humorous summary of marine biology in the movie!

Several entries also feature gorgeous artwork by readers!
