Summary
The boy stared back at him, and Dynamight was used to seeing the fear in constricted pupils, feeling the quaking terror of his victims before he finished them. He knew he cut a grotesque figure: a halo of black spikes protecting his exposed brain; the steel muzzle that completely obscured the lower half of his face; the tubes embedded into his arms and back, feeding into his muzzle and embedded beneath his skin, running frigid, purple, luminescent liquid that acted as a fuel and coolant to his augmentations.
The most common word humans prescribed to him was monster, but he’d been called by every name given to freakish, malformed creatures language had created.
There was no struggle. Now on the ground, the boy lay there, watching him with an eerie stillness. This boy looked at him with nothing. Well, not nothing. Dynamight could read his expression clearly.
Do it. Kill me.
A boy with nothing wants to live. A boy with everything wants to die. They find each other somewhere in the middle.

Summary
“You gonna say something?” Katsuki muttered “You’ve been following me around like some fishy ghost since I got here.”
The Mer didn’t answer.
Instead, he let out a soft trill before gliding closer. His tail shimmered like ink in the dim water, His eyes never left Katsuki’s.
Katsuki didn’t move.
The lights flickered.
And the Mer lunged.

Katsuki Bakugou never expected to land a position at Yuuei—the world-renowned research and rehabilitation facility for Merfolk. His job is simple on paper: monitor tank conditions, study diet patterns, and stay out of trouble. But nothing at Yuuei is simple, especially not the elusive, intelligent Merfolk who watch more than they speak. As Katsuki settles into his new routine, he begins to uncover just how little the world understands about the creatures beneath the surface, and how one in particular seems to understand him a little too well.

Bakugou Katsuki/Midoriya Izuku
Work Summary
“You gonna say something?” Katsuki muttered, voice low. “You’ve been following me around like some fishy ghost since I got here.”
The Mer didn’t answer.
Instead, he let out a soft trill—gentle and curious—before gliding closer. His tail shimmered like ink in the dim water, dark green fading to black at the tips. His eyes never left Katsuki’s.
Katsuki didn’t move.
The lights flickered.
And then the Mer lunged.

Summary
“Something really fucking weird is going on.”
“What?”
“I don’t know. There’s a new mer, and everyone is convinced he needs to be released right now, even though he’s actively bleeding out.”When an injured merman with a purple tail is taken to the Sea Life Rescue & Rehabilitation Center, they know he's different because he doesn't look like any of the other mer species they've seen, but they don't expect him to hypnotize everyone into carrying him back to the ocean with his singing. The siren doesn't expect one of the humans to not be able to hear him.
