   Summary

   Modern-Day Fairytale Mermaid AU. Barely esteemed, underpaid, and overworked Marine Biologist Magnus Bane does not expect to find a peculiar sea creature while living in an undersea lab off the coast of Florida, which leads to a bizarre series of events with him not only discovering and bonding with a new species but also trying to conceal said discovery. Can romance truly blossom twenty thousand leagues under the sea?

   (Spoiler alert: Yes, it can. I’ve spared you from reading ~70k words. You’re welcome.)
