    Summary

    Sometime after being tortured in the basement of his childhood home and a spider bite that turned his new life upside down, Neil stops running and starts swinging instead. He tries not to regret his decision when a seemingly invulnerable mercenary starts breaking down every wall he's ever built.

    Or: Neil is Spider-Man, Andrew is Deadpool, and people only assume Spider-Man doesn’t kill because Neil is very good at hiding bodies.

    Summary

    "Cut the bullshit!" Neil didn’t yell, however his voice was strained and full of hurt. "You spent the last 6 years telling me I can't run from my problems, that I can't turn my back to everything and everyone. So don't you dare run away from me now!"

    “I’m not- I don’t… fuck, Neil. Can’t you see?”

    Summary

    If Neil was anyone else, he would have been able to do this.

    Mermaids spend their entire youth, on land or otherwise, talking about how they’ll design their nests when they finally accept the courting of a male counterpart. About how beautiful it’ll be, how soft, how intimate it’ll be as they become one. It’s one of the most overhyped things in merfolk culture.

    Finding your mate, accepting your mate.

    But Neil never grew up like the others.

    He isn’t anyone else, and he never would be.

    So now he’s left with a mess of a cave, a tangled bed of seaweed and moss, sharp rocks in weird places and officially the worst nest the seaworld has probably ever seen.

    Andrew would never want to be Neil’s mate. Not in actuality.

    Not when he sees this, sees how he trashed the most important thing of this entire courting bullshit.

    Not when he realizes that Neil isn't worth it.

    -

    or, after months of courting Neil is ready to make the final step with Andrew- only thing is, he sucks at being a merfolk.

    Summary

    "You know me,” Andrew says. “Do you know you, Neil?”

    Neil blinks at him, empty. He doesn’t recognise his name.

    “I…” Neil falters a moment, breaking his gaze, and looking down at his own body like he expects to find something else. He checks his own pulse, two fingers to the side of his wrist. Neil looks up at Andrew after a few seconds of murmuring numbers, not quite frowning but almost. “I feel gone,” he says. “Is my – am I here?”

    Or Neil has a dissociative episode, and Andrew contemplates the terrifying ordeal of memory and being known and not. He also brings Neil back. That too.
