Summary
Written for prompt: "an AU where my muse is a mermaid/man being kept in an aquarium".
Varlen is not the first of the merfolk to be found by humanity.
Thank the Creators for that.
After being captured and put on display in the foyer of a high-end hotel, the days blur past in a series of camera flashes and gawking faces. Trapped in an empty tank, filled to the brim with silent water, Varlen begins to fear he is losing his mind as he drifts aimlessly before a sea of watchful eyes. A life spent longing to meet human beings is replaced by a desperate need to get as far away from them as possible, but no one cares enough to help him. They all just want to stare. Smile. Take a photo. Tap the glass.
Then, he meets one of the good ones.
