The most beautiful man you've ever seen isn't a man. He's a silver fish, with carmine fins, and a body like a reflective ribbon stretching into the abyss.

And we even came up with names for them! (Normally, when we "transport" characters into our AUs, we tend to change their names, since we already know the characters will change until they become completely unrecognizable OCs... so they're a bit like "Schrödinger characters," both fan-characters and canon until we "open the box," or in this case, until the book arrives).
Merman!Lysandre will be Sangreal (he already has a page! https://fantasydiario.blogspot.com/2025/12/character-sangreal.html ), while Professor Sycamore becomes Professor Seraphin Panorme, a marine biologist. You can think of it as two AUs: one where they are alternate versions of Lysandre and Professor Sycamore, and one where they are alternate versions of the alternate versions (and don't worry, we'll be working on both! Both Merman!Lysandre and Sangreal will just have more or less the same design, despite having separate identities. We guess? It's blurry, we'll see case to case).
We should start writing their story soon (fingers crossed!), and we promise it will be... absolutely epic.
