Fathoms Deep (My Heart Resides)
Fandom: Yuri on Ice
Summary: On his throne of light, made of monstrous fishes, he sits, a deep-sea snake curling around his shoulders. Seung-gil Ship-sinker. Sara’s breath hitches. He is awe-inspiring and terrifying, all her dreams and nightmares.
‘’Chop, chop, girl! I don’t have all day!’’
Sara takes a deep breath, her foundations shuddering. ‘’I want a pair of legs.’’
Disclaimer: I don’t own Yuri on Ice
You can find my writing progress here. If you can’t keep straight who’s what kind of creature anymore, here’s a list, plus some extra background information for those who’d like to read it!

This was written for the Yuri on Ice Fantasy week ( @yoifantasyweek for those interested in checking out the other authors) 11/16/17- Day Four: Aquamarine. I used the two prompts ‘’Mermaid,’’ and ‘’Ocean’’.
Dedicated to @curiousbecuriousblueram! Happy birthday, Silver-chan!
This is part of the Land of Gods and Monsters ‘verse, but can be read as a standalone fic. You can find a note on the chronology of this ‘verse here.
It’s not that Sara doesn’t want to live in the sea- it’s that her brother won’t ever let her go if she doesn’t flee it. He drowns men whenever they come too close- you’re not stealing my sister, he says.
It is natural, then, to visit Seung-gil Ship-sinker.
Seung-gil is utterly silent, but his visage drowns them all. His tail possesses the power of a thousand mer. His force curls around him like a curtain and he hides secrets behind stormy eyes- the kind you would dare to enter the depths for.
Like Sara is, now.
