omg yes i love this! I think if you've dropped verbal language, body movement and expression is all you have left. You could have Tom try to teach him some rough sign language. Not ASL but just connecting certain gestures to certain meanings

Perhaps your merpeople have a concept of pictoral representation? Perhaps they draw symbols in the sand under the sea, like pictograms or hieroglyphics, and Chris can adapt it to something they can both understand? Like stick figure drawing?

sign language? or maybe some kind of song-like tunes? :3 either way I'm SUPER EXCITE, I love your fics so so much

I remember you talking about this fic omg I'm so glad you're going to publish it! <3 Anyway, maybe he could point at things and move objects, while slowly developing a sign language with Tom attributing a meaning to a given gesture.

Asl - learning signs for different things, eg if Tom brought flash cards with fish on them then Chris could learn to sign sign 'fish' and so on, or the other way around or something xx

Maybe he could draw things into the sand at the beach? Or with touching etc. because how cute would it be if certain things would mean different things in their cultures? Pointing at things/bringing stuff to explain/express things could also work c:

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I've already used some of them in the original draft of the fic, but this was very useful <3 I want merman!Chris to be a little more animalistic than your average fairy tale mermaids, but he will still be able to understand most things Tom communicates to him. And I can't believe I forgot this fic existed for almost six months! I'm gonna try to work on it during the holidays :)

I think something beautiful just happened... I was reading let me see you anew, which I love, and then on tumblr someone reblogged your art - I thought, this is amazing, I have to check this person out! then I recognised your url and realised that you'd also written the fanfic I was reading! /then/ I went through your art tag and recognised that every. single. one of my fave jotun loki paintings are yours, not to mention your hatchet! ugh! I think I'm in love!! thank you for you genius <3 <3 -3-

Oh my. So much praise! I'm blushing fiercely! D:

Thank you and I'm glad you like the things I do :D
