Summary:
Tony gets a cut, Loki worries.
(MerMay 2022: Day 18 - Blood)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
“Shit!” Tony cursed, quickly pulling his hand away from the car, it was covered in blood.
Stupid stupid stupid!
He quickly jumped around his workshop looking for some bandages, he hadn’t made a mistake like that and cut himself in decades.
Whilst in the middle of searching through his drawers, Loki rushed over to him.
Loki grabbed Tony’s hand, holding it tight. His eyes were wide, “Norns, this is awful.”
Tony laughed weakly, “It’s really not that bad Loki, I just have to disinfect it and wrap it.”
Loki shook his head, “This is so much blood Anthony, humans are very fragile, you could die.”
Tony sighed, “Loki, I swear I’m gonna be fine. Now can you let me wrap it?”
Loki looked back up to him, mouth a thin line, and without any warning, carried him upstairs. Despite still getting used to land, Loki ran up the stairs and into the nearest bathroom.
Loki placed him on the tile floor and dug through the medicine cabinet, and Tony watched somewhat exasperated. He has to stop letting Loki watch medical shows, maybe he can convince him to watch Star Trek?
Tony hissed as Loki dumped disinfectant on his, still bleeding, hand, “Loki, you do not need that much.”
Loki ignored him, instead wiping away the blood with a wet face cloth.
Tony leaned on the tub, Loki had brought them to the smallest bathroom in his house, as this one was for actual use and not to have sex in.
He didn’t pay attention to Loki as he cleaned Tony’s hand, instead thinking about all the ways he could upgrade the car in his workshop.
“Ow!” He yelped, glancing back down at Loki, “What the hell was that- Are those stitches?”
Loki nodded, concentrating on stitching Tony’s skin back together, “Yes, the wound was quite deep, bandages would not have worked.”
Tony scowled, he loved Loki, he truly did but… “Lo, you really have to stop watching House M.D.”
“House.”
Tony frowned, “Huh?”
Loki rolled his eyes, “It is just called House.”
“Still.”
“But I learn much from it.”
“Loki,” He said slowly, despite the fact that Loki looked human, Tony sometimes forgot that he isn’t, “The shows are fake. They’re stories told for entertainment, not facts.”
Loki looked genuinely upset, “Oh.”
Tony hated seeing Loki sad, so he quickly added, “But if you want I can order you medical books.”
It was only after the words came out of his mouth that he realized how bad of an idea it could be. A merman, who lived in the ocean for years, practicing medicine.
Well, he thought daily, Loki would only practice on him.

Summary:
Tony has a secret.
(Mermay 2022: Day 17 - Sharp)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Tony had a secret. One not even JARVIS knew, and he knows everything.
It’s that Tony is dating someone.
That's not that big of a surprise, Tony’s dated a lot of people, but this person is special. So special in fact, that Tony wants them all for themselves.
So, he lies.
JARVIS and Pepper and Rhodey all try to pry it out of him, but he stays firm. He isn’t going to tell them his secret.
He goes down to his beach every night, to meet his Loki .
Loki smiles at him, with sharp and pointed teeth, but Tony doesn’t care. In fact, he probably likes it a little too much.
He takes Loki’s hand, not caring that it was wet and slimy, and allows Loki to carry him into the sea. Tony had figured that many people might find Loki repulsive or disgusting , or even monstrous , but Tony knew better. Loki is gorgeous.
Loki’s blue skin glowed in the moonlight, their translucent scales reflecting light beautifully. Their eyes were blood red, and transfixed Tony with a single look. Loki’s fingers were webbed and slick and slimy and cold, but by God he knew how to use them.
Loki kisses him, cold and wet, but incredibly good .
Tony moans as Loki’s sharp teeth bite his lips, breaking the skin of his lips. The coppery taste of blood filling his mouth, something Tony did not necessarily find attractive , but it was quickly pushed out of his mind as Loki’s tongue entered his mouth.
God , Tony loves Loki.
Huh .
Tony froze, pulling away from Loki.
Loki tilts their head, inky black hair flowing behind them, “Anthony?”
Tony opens his mouth, and then closes it. What was he supposed to say; Hey Loki, I know the only thing we have ever done was have sex, but I think I love you .
And well, that's exactly what Tony says.
Loki only laughed, and laughed and laughed.
Tony scowls at them, offended. He poured his heart out to Loki and Loki only laughed .
He went to turn away, only for Loki to grab his wrist, “You do not love me Anthony.”
“I do!” He protests, Loki’s magic allowing him to breathe under the water.
Loki shook their head, an amused tilt to their lips, “No Anthony, you love the sex we have.”
“No, I don’t-”
“Anthony,” Loki cuts him off, “I am a siren .”
Suddenly, everything clicked.
He rips his wrist out of Loki’s grasp, “So everything I’ve felt for you is sex magic ?”
They grin, sharp, but it seemed… bitter, “Yes.”
Tony blinks back the stinging in his eyes, he wasn’t going to cry over feelings that weren’t even real . He swiftly turns away, swimming back to shore.
He can’t believe he fell for Loki’s siren magic, that he was tricked . Tony Stark doesn’t just get tricked, he’s a genius .
He glowers at the sea behind him, Loki made an idiot out of him.
And the only thing Tony Stark hates more than being tricked? Being made an idiot .

Summary:
Something precious is stolen from Loki.
(Mermay 2022: Day 16 - Stolen)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki was angry, nay, furious .
A group of pirates thought that they could just steal from him. From Loki. Loki would regret stealing something from him.
He manipulated the water around him, swirling it into a tornado of water. He lifted himself high above the human pirates, glowering down at them.
They fearfully shot their pathetic human weapons at him, which made Loki laugh. Oh, they really had no idea what they messed with.
He smiled, sharp, deadly . “Give me back what you have stolen, and I will leave your boat be,” he lied. He would never leave them unscathed after what they did to him.
They hastily gave back what they stole, dropping him into Loki’s around.
“Took you long enough,” Anthony said, “I would have escaped myself.”
Loki rolled his eyes, pressing a kiss to Anthony’s lips, “I would never make you rescue yourself.”
He grinned, “I know.”
They swam away, uncaring of the sinking ship behind them.

Summary:
There is a giant fish at the bottom of Stark Industries.
(MerMay 2022: Day 14 - Captured)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Tony paced the length of his living room, anxiety curling in the pit of his stomach. Obie said he wanted to show him something special , and if Obadiah Stane thought something was special, then it really was.
“Mister Stane has arrived,” JARVIS said.
Tony stopped, shoving his hands into his pocket, “Thanks J.”
Obie threw the door open, “Tony! How are you?”
He grinned falsely, “Good, you?”
Obadiah placed a heavy hand on his shoulder, “Great, Tony! Stark Industries has discovered something incredible .”
“And? What is it?” Tony asked, excited.
Obie grinned, “It’s better if you see for yourself.”
------
Tony kept up his pace with Obadiah, following him through the bowels of Stark Industries. Tony had never been down this far, as he hadn’t thought it was important, so he relied on Obie to lead him to where they had to go.
They finally reached a heavily guarded door, which Obadiah had to type in a passcode. Obie tried to conceal the passcode, but Tony saw it anyway.
3-8-2-5.
F-U-C-K.
Tony rolled his eyes, how original .
Obie held opened the door for Tony, allowing him to walk it first.
Tony frowned, looking over the room. There was a giant wall of glass in front of him, and inside the glass was gallons of water. A ton of scientists were running around, all wearing gloves and a white lab coat.
Tony turned to Obadiah, “I don’t get it.”
Obadiah scowled, “Just watch.”
Tony did, for a good five minutes.
There was nothing.
Tony sighed, “Obie, if this is just trying to convince me to install a pool in S-I it isn’t working-”
Something moved .
Tony blinked, and looked again.
There was something moving.
Almost on autopilot, he walked up to the glass.
“Tony,” Obie warned, “I wouldn’t do that.”
Tony didn’t listen to him, instead walking closer and closer to the glass.
His nose was almost touching the glass when something shifted.
Faster than Tony knew to be humanly possible, something large hit the tank.
He jumped back, more curious than ever.
He looked back at Obadiah, “What is it?”
“A mermaid.”
Tony laughed, “Seriously Obie, what is it?”
He glowered, “I am serious Tony, it’s a mermaid.”
Tony turned back to the glass, leaning up against it.
He squinted through the darkness of the water, trying to see the mermaid .
Though, unfortunately, it didn’t do anything again.
Tony’s excitement soured, it was just a fish , it wasn’t going to do anything.
He leaned away from the glass, and sighed, “It was cool while it lasted.”
“So can we continue working on it?” Obie asked, and Tony waved a hand.
“Sure it’s just a dumb fish, isn’t it?”
------
It wasn’t just a dumb fish, as Tony would come to realize later. It- he , was as intelligent as a human, probably moreso considering the idiotic workers he had.
He shook his head, after this, he was going to do a full background check on all these people who would experiment on a person . Well, half person half fish.
Which led him to now, creeping through S-I on a rescue mission. He wasn’t entirely sure how he would rescue the merman, but like a lot of Tony’s plans, he would just wing it. They always seemed to work out in the end. Kinda.
He typed. 3-8-2-5.
Really, he ought to hire people who know how to make a decent passcode. Or maybe just make new security systems. That… actually seemed like a good idea, but he wasn’t here to beef up the security system, he was Indiana Jones.
Or well, more like James Bond. Or like the guy from Mission Impossible. Or really, if he wanted to get technical, he was like the kids from Spy Kids. As their movie was about a rescue mission.
He frowned, he really needs to stay on track. There was a person captured inside a building he owned , he really had to get his head on straight.
He climbed up the ladder, and leaned over the water.
“Hey!” He called, “I’m here to save you!”
He cringed, he probably could’ve said that better.
Despite that, the merman swam his way to the top of the cage . God, how did he let this happen?
The merman frowned at him. “Am I supposed to believe you?” His voice was hoarse, but it still surprised Tony.
“You can talk?”
He scowled, “Obviously.”
Tony shook his head, stay on track . “I know we haven’t gotten off on the right foot- tail? Considering my company mer-napped you, but I’m here to try and make it up.”
“How?” He asked, suspicion lacing his voice.
“Um.”
He sighed, “You don’t have a plan.”
“I can think of something!”
“Unless you can carry me-”
“I can!”
“Can you?”
He smiled sheepishly, “I can try.”
The merman looked him up and down, normally something Tony would enjoy, but he could tell it was judging.
“You think you can carry me?”
He nodded, “Yep.”
------
As it turns out, carrying heavy metal is good practice for carrying a merman.
Tony watched the merman, who he learned is named Loki, swim away with a smile on his face.
He didn’t know if he was ever going to see Loki again, but he enjoyed the hour he had with him.
He turned away, even if he never saw Loki again, at least he wasn’t trapped in a giant fishbowl.

Summary:
Loki and Tony go on their first date, and Loki gets cold.
(MerMay 2022: Day 13 - Cold)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki grinned at themself, fixing their hair in the vanity Anthony had bought for them.
Anthony had been showing them many movies, and Loki had been most interested in a genre called romantic-comedies . They saw that if humans were courting each other, they went on something called dates , and Loki wished to go on one with Anthony. Anthony had agreed somewhat confusedly, as Loki had never expressed interest in going on dates.
Loki tried on some of the jewelry Anthony had bought for them, many necklaces and earrings made of jewels. Loki knew that Anthony was very rich in the human world, like Loki had been when they was still a prince.
They could not decide what to wear, as many of the jewels did not match with their dress.
After a while of consideration, they chose a beautiful gold chain with a small seashell, with no earrings.
They looked themselves over in the mirror. They had fluffed their shoulder length hair, something different from the normally slicked back look they had. They were wearing a gorgeous green dress that fit them perfectly, as Anthony had hired a tailor to take measurements of their body. Loki wasn’t completely sure why they needed to take measurements for a dress, could they not have gotten one from a store?
They patted down their dress, suddenly anxious. What if Anthony did not like it? What if Anthony decided to no longer date them? What if What if What if-
“Holy shit.”
Loki spun quickly, not noticing Anthony walking in, “Pardon?”
His eyes were wide, “You look gorgeous .”
They felt their face heat, “Thank you.”
Automatically, Anthony asked, “Pronouns?”
Loki grinned, Anthony had gotten quite good at remembering, which warmed Loki’s heart, “They and them.”
Anthony held out his arm, something Loki had seen in many movies. Loki placed their hand on Anthony’s elbow, and he led them to their limbo.
Loki laughed as they saw the limbo, it seemed Anthony wanted their date to be much like a romantic comedy.
Anthony opened the door for them, “After you.”
Loki grinned, getting into the car, “Thank you.”
Anthony hopped in after them, closing the car door with a thud . “Hey Happy,” he said to the driver, “Take us away!”
------
Loki grinned as they looked over the city skyline, Anthony had taken them to a beautiful restaurant high above the ground. Loki loved it.
They had never been this high before, as they had lived all their life under the sea, so it was quite the experience.
Anthony was smiling from over the table, “I’m guessing you like it?”
Loki nodded, “I love it.”
Anthony seemed relieved, “I’m glad.”
The waiter brought their food over, placing it silently onto the table.
Loki frowned, “We hadn’t ordered anything yet.”
Anthony grinned sheepishly, “I know, I ordered ahead of time so we wouldn’t have to wait.”
Loki titled their head, “I didn’t know you could do that.”
“You can’t, but money can.”
Loki laughed, shaking their head, “Anthony…”
He shrugged, “Yeah, yeah, I know.”
Loki dug into their plate, it tasted delicious . They closed their eyes, savoring the taste.
Anthony laughed, and Loki opened their eyes, “Yes?”
“It’s just funny that every time you eat food, you love it.”
“Everything tastes good when all you’ve eaten is fish.”
Anthony made a disgusted face and Loki snorted, “I know. I don’t think I could ever go back.”
“I know I wouldn’t.”
Loki took another bite of their food, “After tasting human food, I don’t think I’ll ever go back.”
He raised an eyebrow, “That’s the only reason?”
“Of course not,” Loki said.
Anthony smiled, going to say something, but Loki cut him off, “There aren’t movies.”
Anthony rolled his eyes, “Only movies and food huh? Nothing about the human who, I don’t know, houses you ?”
“Oh yes,” Loki said sarcastically, “How could I forget?”
Anthony sighed, “I should have never taught you sarcasm.”
Loki smirked, “Yes, you did seal your fate.”
They took a sip of their ice cold water, and shivered.
“Are you okay?” Anthony asked, teasing gone.
Loki nodded, but they were still shivering, “I am just cold is all, human bodies are terrible at regulating temperature.”
Anthony got up, shrugging off his jacket.
“What are you-” Loki asked confused, but Anthony cut them off.
“Giving you my jacket.”
He placed the jacket around their shoulders, wrapping it tightly around them.
Loki smiled at Anthony, “Thank you.”
Anthony placed a kiss on Loki’s mouth, “Anything for you… babe.”

Summary:
Tony and Loki try and find out if Loki's human legs are permanent.
(MerMay 2022: Day 12 - Sand)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
They were sitting on the couch, watching, of all things, Cinderella.
Cinderella was running down the stairs as the clock turned midnight when Tony turned to Loki, “Is your human transformation permanent or does it stop at midnight?”
Loki frowned, turning to him, “I am not sure what you mean?”
Tony waved a hand, “A joke, a kinda bad one. Though I am curious, will you have legs forever? Or will your tail come back?”
Loki thought about it, “I am not completely sure, though I wonder if I touch water if I will transform back?”
Tony grinned, “Wanna test it?”
They stood on Tony’s beach, and they were quite a sight. Tony was standing there, covered in sunscreen and holding a StarkPad, while wearing a dirty tank top with swim shorts. Whereas, Loki was naked. Full-ass naked.
Tony tried not to get distracted by Loki’s nakedness, he was on a scientific mission, not ogling Loki’s ass.
He looked down to his StarkPad, (It isn’t science if you don’t write it down-) “Are you ready?”
Loki nodded, and ran into the water. Once they were deep enough, he submerged himself, something Tony had asked if they had to do to trigger the transformation.
Tony waited.
Loki popped out of the water, grinning, “It works!”
“Can your legs come back?” Tony asked, writing the results on the StarkPad.
“I’ll try,” Loki said, swimming back towards the shore.
Loki swam onto the sands, crawling back up so he wouldn’t touch the water. Tony walked over to him, handing Loki the towel they brought.
While Loki dried himself, Tony asked, “How long should it take?”
Loki frowned, “It should be instantaneous-”
They were cut off, bright light surrounding his tail.
Tony blocked his eyes with his hand, the light blinding.
“It worked!” Loki said cheerfully, and Tony lowered his hand.
He grinned, writing this down, “This is so cool, my partner can turn into a merman at will.”
Loki frowned, “Not at will.”
Tony waved a hand, “Same thing.”
Loki raised an eyebrow, something Tony noticed Loki picked up from him, “Alright Anthony, if you say so.”
Tony smirked, “Which I do.”
Loki wrapped the towel around himself, trying to stand up.
Tony put the StarkPad under his arm, offering his hand to Loki. They took it, and Tony hefted him up.
Loki paused, thoughtful, “She and her.”
“A woman day?”
Loki shook his head, “Not necessarily. I do not feel like a woman right now, though she-slash-her pronouns feel the best at the moment.”
Tony nodded, pressing a kiss to her check, “You’re the best.”
She smiled, “I know.”
He laughed, wrapping an arm around her waist, “I love you so much.”

Summary:
A melody. That is what brings Tony Stark out of his workshop and into the sea. (MerMay 2022: Day 11 - Monster)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Tony paused, and frowned.
Faintly, he heard the sound of singing.
He turned towards it, squinting in the distance. He didn’t see anything, only the vastness of the ocean.
The beautiful melody called to him, and he could barely resist.
He quickly made his way out of his house, and onto the cool sands of his private beach.
Tony stood on the edge of the sand and the sea, looking out into the dark sea. The cool water of the ocean lapped at his feet, sending shivers up his spine.
The song grew louder, calling him into the sea, but he resisted. He couldn’t just jump into the water, he would drown.
He stumbled, the music calling him forward, but common sense keeping him still. He dug his nails into his skin, leaving crescent shaped marks behind.
It took all of Tony’s willpower to stay put, and to not jump into the sea.
He bit his tongue, forcing his legs to walk away.
The further he got from the sea, the harder each step was.
He stopped, digging his toes into the sand, taking a deep breath. He would not go into the sea, he refused .
Suddenly, the singing stopped.
He frowned, confused. Why did it stop?
He turned around, staring into the sea.
“My, you’re a strong willed one.”
Tony jumped, eyes darting around towards the voice. His eyes focused on where the voice came from, a man.
“What?”
The man smirked, laying his face on his palm, “You resisted my magic, I wonder how ?”
Tony shrugged, “I’ve always been strange.”
The man hummed, flicking his… tail(?) behind him, “Still, none have resisted me before.”
Tony grinned, “Performance issues? It’s not uncommon, one out of five-”
The man hissed, literally hissed , “I am above you, human , and I am not affected by your ailments.”
Tony held up his hands in surrender, “Okay, okay, I get it. Do compare you to humans.”
Tony paused, lowering his hands as he unconsciously had been walking towards Loki. He gripped the fabric of his pants, trying to stop himself from walking closer to the man.
The man, who Tony was mere few feet away from, tilted his head, “You are not completely immune to my power, how curious.”
Tony swallowed, mouth suddenly dry, “Yeah, I guess.”
The man leered at him, and Tony inhaled sharply, “I like you.”
Faster than Tony could react, the man grabbed his leg.
Tony yelped as he fell to the ground, sand kicking up around him, and getting all over him.
“Hey!” He yelled, but the man ignored him.
The man continued to drag him into the water, the grip on his ankle tight.
Tony inhaled sharply as the water hit him, chilling him to the bone. He took a deep breath as the water came up to his chest, preparing himself to hold his breath.
As soon as Tony was completely under water, the man turned back to him. The man shifted his grip on Tony’s leg to his torso, holding Tony’s close to himself. Tony felt his face heat up, he has been having sex for years , why was being chest to chest with a merman making him blush?
The man grinned, making something in Tony’s stomach flutter. What was wrong with him?
The man rushed forward, pressing a rough kiss to his mouth.
Tony leaned into the kiss, wrapping his arms around the man. Unsurprisingly, the man was a great kisser, maybe even better than Tony.
The man leaned away, and Tony groaned; they had just started!
Tony sighed, and froze. He was breathing, underwater .
It snapped him out of his trance, “What? How?” He just talked, underwater. Oh my god…
The man grinned sharply, and Tony gasped. The man’s teeth were sharp points, and his formerly pale skin was blue . He felt the man’s sharp claws dig into his back, and his rough skin uncomfortably rubbing on Tony.
Tony stuttered, fear curling in his gut, “You’re- you’re-”
“‘You’re, you’re’,” The man mocked him, “I’m what , a monster ?”
Tony nodded quickly, fear stilling his tongue.
The man laughed, "You wanted to kiss me, yet now you cannot speak. Is my appearance that disturbing?”
Tony paused, looking, really looking , at the man, “I mean, you do look somewhat like a horror movie monster, but you’re still kinda hot.”
For the first time since Tony met the man, he was shocked, “I am a siren, a monster . By the Norns, I was going to kill you! Yet you call me attractive?”
Tony’s eyes widened, “Wait a minute, kill-?”
The man interrupted him, “I am a man-eating monster! And you still wish to sleep with me! Why ?”
“Uh, I mean you're still attractive and stuff, and a really great kisser,” Tony frowned, “But can we please get back to the man-eating stuff?”
The man rolled his eyes, “Worry not human, I do not feel like eating you.” The yet went unsaid, but Tony heard it loud and clear anyway.
Tony shrugged, pushing past his uneasiness, “I mean, I don’t know how’d we have sex. Since, y’know, you have a tail, but kissing is always there.”
The man was still in a state of shock, “I still do not understand.”
“Do you need to?”
“I would like to.”
“Guess we’re at a stand still.”
The man hummed, again, “We are. Well, I suppose I should tell you my name.”
Tony raised an eyebrow, “I guess I should tell you mine too. I’m Tony- well, Anthony Tony Stark.”
The man smirked, “ Anthony , I like that.”
Tony shivered, “Well, I go by Tony-”
“Loki.”
Tony stopped, “Huh?”
“My name,” He said helpfully, “Loki.”
“Well, Loki, nice to meet you.”
Loki laughed, “Hello as well, Anthony.”
They stared at each other, with no idea where to go from there.
Tony glanced up towards the sky, “I guess I should go back home.”
“Yes, I suppose you should,” He said discontentedly.
Tony glanced back at Loki, who seemed upset, “You don’t want me to?”
“No,” His voice was like silk, “I would rather have you here, with me .”
He felt the same lust he had a minutes ago come back, and he shook his head, “Yeah, though I think we should put down some ground rules first. No using your magic siren-lust power on me, okay?”
Loki pouted, “Fine.”
“Second, no eating.”
He shrugged, “Fair enough.”
“Third, you are going to explain everything to me.”
He raised a brow, “That is an… unusual request, but I suppose I can make it work.”
Tony nodded, satisfied, “Okay, now can you bring me back to the surface?”

He struggled for breath, panic coming over him.
Tony flailed in the water, his limbs freezing in place.
He dipped under the water, cold water rushing into his lungs.
He gasped and spluttered, chest heaving and heart pounding.
Tony dipped under the water again, gasping for breath and water filling his lungs.
I’m drawing, he thought frantically, I’m drowning. I’m going to die I’m going to die I’m going to die die die die die die-
He tried holding his breath before he dipped under again, the angry sea trying to keep him under.
Tony started to hyperventilate, breath coming in short, hard breaths. He knew he couldn’t hyperventilate, since if he went under the water again, he would drown.
He tried to control his breathing, his pounding heart, or even his racing thoughts; but he couldn’t. The cold water suffocated him, his common sense leaving him to make more room for one thought, survival.
His arms spasmed, and he quickly pulled them towards himself.
He fell under the sea again, the freezing water forcing its way into his lungs.
I’m drawing. He thought again, with much more fear. I’m drowning and I’m gonna die die die-
He forced his eyes shut as he dipped under the water again. If he was going to die, he didn’t want to see it.
Tony accepted his death, slow and painful as it may be, what could he do?
Something hard hit him in the side, forcing the remaining breath from his lungs.
He tried opening his eyes, but the cold water stung his eyes, forcing them shut again.
Something quickly dragged him through the water. Tony didn’t know what it was, the only thing his frozen mind was capable of thinking was an anchor.
He gasped as his back hit land, the cool sands a lovely difference from cold water.
He took ragged, heavy breaths, wanting to fill his lungs with air. He missed oxygen, the sweet air, the beautiful air.
He blinked his eyes open, his lashes frozen shut.
“Are you alive?”
He shot up, eyes wide, “What? Who?”
Green eyes gazed at him curiously, “I am Loki, I have saved you.”
“Thank you…” he said breathlessly, “I- I’m in debt to you.”
Loki smirked, “Yes, I believe you are. Though may I ask something of you? I would rather not have the next time I see you, be you drowning.”
Tony nodded, “Yeah, I’d rather not drown either,” He frowned, “How’d you save me?”
Loki titled something behind him, something that looked rather like a tail.
“You’re a merman?”
Loki scowled, “Despite your crude description, yes I am what you call a merman.”
Tony glanced at Loki, then himself, then the boat he fell off, miles away from the shore.

Jormungandr and his father wish to surprise his mother, Loki.

Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki followed after Jormungandr, her son traveling speedily through the ocean.
“Jormungandr? Where are you going?” Loki asked confusedly.
He smiled, “It’s a surprise!”
Loki shook their head, Jormungandr was much like his father, always exploring and curious about everything. Loki was very curious as well, even though they did not do much exploring anymore. It was what made Loki fall in love with Anthony, their combined love of learning.
Jormungandr shook their hand, “Mamma! We are here!”
Loki looked past Jor, seeing one of the humans sunken ships.
“I do not understand.”
Jormungandr frowned, “It is the place where you met papa!”
Loki blinked carefully at the ship, it was.
Loki smiled down at her son, “You are very considerate, Jor, but how did you find this?”
A voice from behind, “I… may have helped.”
Loki rolled their eyes as she turned around, knowing it was their husband, “Anthony.”
He smiled sheepishly, “Hi Lo.”
“Should I ask why?”
“Well… since I always seemed to forget our anniversary I thought I could make it up!”
She placed their hand on Anthony’s face, “This is very kind, Anthony, but you do know our anniversary is in a few months.”
He frowned, “Oh.”
They kissed him, “It is alright Anthony, I appreciate the gesture.”
“Eww!” Jormungandr cried.
They rolled their eyes, “Come here Jor.”
Jor came over to hug her and Anthony.
Loki sighed contently, “I love both of you so much.”

Summary:
Captain Antonia Stark cannot wait for Admiral Fury to arrive, only for a siren to make a mess of her crew.
(MerMay 2022: Day 6 - Singing)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Toni walked down the deck of her boat, eyeing her crew, and making sure her boat was in order. She had inherited the boat from her father after he had died. Her father hadn’t wanted to give Toni his boat, as she was a woman, but he was dead and therefore unable to stop her.
She nodded to her crew as she passed, she took care to be kind to her crew, she didn’t want her crew starting a revolt against her.
Doctor Banner nodded at her as she opened the door to his office, “Captain.”
She rolled her eyes, “We’re friends, Bruce, you don’t have to keep calling me Captain.”
He shrugged, “Force of habit I guess.”
“Everything in order?” Toni asked, looking around his office.
Bruce narrowed his eyes at her, “Is Admiral Fury visiting?”
Toni sighed, “That obvious?”
“The only time you care how tidy things are is when Admiral Firy is visiting so you can piss him off.”
Toni grinned, “It’s funny to see how angry he gets that I’m a good Captain.”
Bruce was about to say something when one of the crew yelled, “Captain! There’s a situation!”
Toni rushed out of the office, Doctor Banner following behind him.
She froze as she reached the top of the stairs, singing loudly penetrating the air around her.
Sirens.
Toni pulled one of her crew from the edge of the boat, yelling orders at her unaffected crew to stop the others from throwing themselves into the sea.
She stomped her way towards her quarters, dodging the fighting of her crew, and threw open her door.
Toni grabbed her silver dagger, she had specially crafted it to defend against the monsters that filled the sea. She stuck the dagger in her holster, and pulled it tight, for what she was about to do, so she would rather not lose it.
She placed her hat onto her bed, and ran into the sea.
The cold sea chilled her to the bone, but she swam onwards. She hurried toward the singing, she had to stop the sirens before they killed her crew.
Toni hauled herself onto the rock in front of her where the sirens hid themselves. She pulled the dagger from her holster and searched for the sirens, this is exactly the kind of thing Admiral Fury would use against her to demote her, but she would not lose her crew. Her friends.
She treaded cautiously on the rocks, careful not to fall. Toni slowly advanced towards the siren, dagger raised.
Faster than humanly possible, the siren spun around and ripped the dagger from her hand.
The siren grinned, twirling the dagger in her hand, “Is this yours?”
Toni scowled, “I don’t care for your games Siren, let my crew go and I will not kill you.”
“Kill me? Have you forgotten I have your weapon?”
She slowly pulled her emergency dagger from her back, “You’re right, you have my dagger, I’m powerless against you.”
The siren tilted her head, midnight black hair cascading down her shoulders, “You are not powerless, you are not affected by my singing.”
Toni grinned as she slipped the dagger from her back, “Guess I’m just special.”
Faster than the siren anticipated, Toni pulled the knife from her back and placed it on the siren’s neck.
The siren grinned cockily, “My, you are a smart one, for a human.”
Toni dug the knife into the siren’s skin, “You’re not making me not want to kill you less.”
The siren stilled grinned even as blood trickled down her skin, “Go ahead then, kill me”
Toni stared into the siren’s eyes, her very much alive eyes, and Toni couldn’t kill her.
She lowered the knife, “I will not kill you today, but, if you go after my crew again, I will not hesitate.”
Toni went to stand, but the siren pulled her down by the shirt. The siren grinned sultry and whispered into her ear, “I cannot wait to see you again, human.”
The siren let go of her shirt and jumped into the water.
Toni stared at where the siren had gone, confusion swirling through her mind.
“Stark!”
Toni spun around towards the voice, Lieutenant Barton.

Summary:
The aftermath of Loki appearing at Tony's door.
(MerMay 2022: Day 5 - Blue)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki grinned, holding out the necklace with one hand and leaning on the wall with the other, “Hello Anthony.”
His eyes were giant, “Loki? How- What- You have legs!”
He nodded happily, “Yes.”
“How?” He said somewhat hysterically.
“Magic,” He said simply, truly not wanting to go into the intricacies of magic while he could barely stand.
Anthony grabbed him as his legs buckled under his weight. He led Loki towards his couch and sat him down.
“I’ll go get you some clothes,” He said quickly, and hurried away.
Loki sat anxiously on the couch, he wasn’t used to legs, and didn’t think he ever would be, but he would deal with them to be able to see Anthony again. He fiddled with the necklace he made, Anthony had not said anything about it, he hoped he liked it.
Anthony came hastily back, carrying a pile of clothes in his hands. He put the clothes on the table, and picked up the smallest piece. “This is underwear, you put it on first,” he tossed it to Loki and grabbed the next one, “this is a shirt, you put this on after the underwear.”
Loki grabbed the shirt and held it next to the underwear, “How do I wear these?”
Anthony blinked at him, “Right, you’ve never worn clothes before.”
He mimicked putting the underwear on, and then the shirt.
The clothes felt… strange. He was not used to the feeling of something covering him, but they did not hurt, so he was sure it was fine.
Anthony grabbed the last piece of clothes, “These are pants, you put them on like underwear.”
He looked down at himself after he finished putting the pants on, Anthony had gotten him gray pants and a shirt with some strange names on it. The clothes were a bit tight on him, as he was sure they were Anthony’s, but he didn’t mind.
“Is there a reason humans have to wear this much clothes?” Loki asked.
Anthony shrugged, “I honestly have no clue, decency I guess?” He paused for a moment, “but, um, what are you doing here?”
Loki frowned, “You were no longer coming to see me, so I came to see you.”
Anthony went still, “I thought you wouldn’t want to see me after… y’know.”
“You kissed me.”
He nodded stiffly, “Yeah,” he added quickly, “which I’m super sorry about, I should’ve asked for your consent and shouldn’t have done it so unexpectedly-”
“Anthony,” he interrupted, “It is fine.”
“It is?”
Loki nodded, “Yes Anthony, it is why I brought you this.” He held out the necklace he had painstakingly crafted.
Anthony looked confused, “A necklace?”
He doesn’t like it, a stray thought crossed his mind and he squashed it down, perhaps humans did not give gifts?
He tried to hide his hurt, “Do humans not give courting gifts?”
His eyes grew wide again, “Court? You mean like date? You want to date me?”
“Yes.”
“Why?”
“Because… I like you.”
He laughed bitterly, “No one likes me.”
Loki scowled, “I do.”
Anthony huffed, “Why?”
Loki stood quickly, although unsteadily, “I like you Anthony, I will not accept you talking badly about yourself.”
Anthony looked up at him, “Okay, um, well I like you too.”
Loki grinned, “I know,” and leaned down to kiss him.
Anthony accepted the kiss with a smile.
They broke the kiss a moment later, both smiling widely.
Loki looked down as something sharp pinched him, the necklace. He placed it around Anthony’s neck, and he looked down, confused.
“What’s it mean?”
“That you are mine.”
His face flushed red, “Oh.”
Loki lightly grabbed the shell in the middle of the necklace, a beautiful spiral shell. He started to imbue it with his magic, many protective and tracking spells that would help keep Anthony safe.
It glowed a blindingly bright blue, before it dimmed to a much subtler ocean blue.
“Woah…” Anthony said.
Loki preened, not used to praise for his magic, “It is very impressive.”
“What does it do?”
“It is just some simple protective spells,” He said, omitting the fact that it would track Anthony. Loki would not like to take the chance of losing Anthony, again.
“I love it,” Anthony smiled softly.
“Thank you.”
They basked in the warmth of each others presence for a moment, before Anthony interrupted.
“Pronouns?”
Loki blinked, “Pardon?”
“Pronouns? Like what's your gender today?”
“Oh,” Loki said, shocked that Anthony remembered, not many did, “A man I suppose.”
Anthony nodded, “Thanks, though I gotta get better about asking you sooner.”
Loki shrugged, “You were quite shocked about seeing me with legs, I do not hold it against you that you forgot to ask.”
Anthony shook his head, “Nope, I built my first circuit board at four, I can do something as simple as remembering to ask someone their pronouns.”
Warmth filled Loki’s chest, no one had cared about him as much as Anthony does, and he had a hard time believing it was true; but this was Anthony, and he knows Anthony cares for him.
He didn’t think he could properly express his affections in words, so he kissed Anthony with all the love and thanks he couldn’t say.
Anthony seemed to understand what he was trying to say, and kissed back with the same affection Loki did.

A/N: Sequel to "Reef"
Summary:
Loki tries to make a gift for Tony, and Tony gets an unexpected visitor.
(MerMay 2022: Day 4 - Shells)
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki searched through the sand, looking for the perfect shells. He needed the shells to be perfect, so Anthony would love it.
He hadn’t seen Anthony in a week, since Anthony had kissed him. It had taken Loki awhile to work through the shock, and then to work through his feelings. But it had led Loki to the conclusion that he should’ve kissed back, that he wants to kiss back.
That he misses Anthony.
He shook the sand off one of the shells and turned it over in his hand. It was a beautiful pink, it would be perfect.
He placed the shell into his bag, it already held a few shells, though it would have more if he wasn’t so picky. They had to be perfect, and he would not accept anything less.
Loki was going to make a necklace of these shells, a common practice in Asgard. No one had ever given a necklace to him, as no one was ever interested in him as they were Thor . He had tried giving people he was interested in necklaces, but the mockery and scorn he faced stopped him. He knew it would not be taken well in Asgard if one of their princes were interested in the same gender, never mind the fact their prince wasn’t always a prince .
He shook his head as if to clear his thoughts. He no longer lived in Asgard, and he hadn’t for a few years now, he did not need to reminisce on bad memories.
He decided that if Anthony were not going to appear within the next week, he would have to take drastic measures.
------
“Sir?” JARVIS asked, sounding… concerned.
Tony glanced up from the car he was working on, “Yeah J?”
“There is a man outside your door.”
Tony frowned, “What? Who is it?”
“I… do not know.”
Tony stood up quickly, “What do you mean you don’t know?”
“I cannot find any record of him anywhere.”
Tony paused, “How do you know it’s a guy?”
“He is naked.”
Tony’s eyebrows rose, “Naked?”
JARVIS sounded almost exasperated, “Yes sir, he is naked.”
Tony smirked, “Well, now I have to see this.”
He hopped up the stairs, it wasn’t everyday there was a naked man at his door. Well… not recently. Though it really wasn’t everyday that there was someone JARVIS couldn’t identify. Even if there isn't a naked man, there is still a naked person.

Summary:
Loki and Tony go on their first date, and Loki accidentally falls into the water.
Read on AO3 or below the cut
Loki fiddled with his clothes in the mirror, he was wearing one of the suits Anthony had bought for him. On a librarian’s budget, he couldn’t exactly afford Armani.
He patted his suit down, despite spending almost a year in the human world, he still wasn’t entirely comfortable wearing clothes. They felt much more restrictive than what he would normally wear, which was nothing. Though, humans didn’t like it if you walked around naked.
He startled as a car honked, quickly walking over to his window to see what was going on.
Anthony waved from the window of his car, and Loki rolled his eyes. Of course, Anthony would honk at him and not just text him.
He grabbed his keys and phone, shoving both into his pockets. He stopped once again in front of his mirror; checking his hair, his suit, his shoes-
Honk!
Loki walked away from the mirror, and hopped down the stairs. If he kept Anthony waiting any longer, he would break down the door to see what was taking him so long.
He grinned as he saw Anthony. He was wearing a green suit, the one that Loki liked, and holding a bouquet of flowers. The suit reminded him of his tail; its glittering green scales always shone so beautifully. He didn’t tell Anthony of that, as he had no idea Loki was a “mermaid”. Loki would never tell anyone, but he missed his tail.
It was their first “official” date, so of course Anthony would go all cliché.
He rolled his eyes as Anthony handed him the flowers, “Seriously Anthony?”
He shrugged, “It’s our first date, I have to get you flowers.” His eyes lit up, “Oh!”
Anthony ran over to the other side of the car and opened the door, “After you.”
Loki made a Face at Anthony, but graciously got into the car anyway.
------
Their hands swung back and forth as they walked along the dock; Loki knew it was risky to be this close to water, but he had already had a few cups of amazing wine, and didn’t really care.
They turned to face each other as they reached the end of the dock. Anthony held his alcohol much better than Loki, so he was mostly sober when he made the decision to lean away.
It happened so fast that if Loki was human, he wouldn’t have known what had occurred.
He, drunk, had leaned in to kiss Anthony. Anthony, sober enough to know to not kiss a drunk Loki, had leaned away. They were still holding hands when Anthony leaned away, so Loki leaned into Anthony, and Anthony didn’t expect it and fell into the water. Loki followed shortly after him.
Oh shit, was the only thing Loki thought before he plummeted into the sea.
Loki fumbled around with his clothes, trying to take them off before they ripped. Though, he wasn’t fast enough, as his extremely expensive pants ripped and his tail broke though.
Anthony laughed, unknowing of Loki’s plight, “Wow, that’s one way to sober up.”
Loki didn’t answer, much too busy trying to find his tail.
“Loki?” Anthony asked, all traces of humor gone.
“Yes? I’m fine,” he said distractedly, trying, and failing, to make sure Anthony wouldn’t see his tail.
Anthony swam closer, “Are you okay?”
Loki swam back, “I’m fine.”
“Loki, you’re swimming away from me.”
Loki attempted nonchalance, “I had?”
Anthony sighed, “Loki, please tell me what’s wrong.”
Loki laughed bitterly, “Only if you get okay with somethings real fast.”
Anthony narrowed his eyes, “Okay…”
Loki moved his tail so that it was in Anthony’s peripheral, and softly poked him.
Anthony startled, quickly looking down to see what touched him. Loki saw his eyes trail from fins of his tail, to Loki’s face.
“Wha-? Loki, you have a tail!”
“I know.”
He frowned, “What? You already know?”
He nodded, “Yes Anthony, I have always had a tail.”
His eyes grew wide, “You’re a mermai-man?”
“Yes.”
“Holy shit!”
Loki grimaced, “Anthony I know this is a lot to take in-”
“This is so cool! I’m dating a merman! And your tail! It is freaking pretty!”
“You aren’t… upset?”
Anthony shrugged, “I mean, it will probably take a bit of adjusting, but you’re still Loki right?”
Loki grinned, flapping his tail. His emerald scales shining in the moonlight, “Yes, I am still Loki.”
Anthony smirked, “So, how do you have sex with a tail?”
