This is a story I started in college when I was a fan of all things mermaid. Writing a "fish out of water" fantasy story was extremely fun, and I recently pulled out my old draft for a revamping.

This is the story of one of those creatures, although I cannot say for certain whether the events described took place near the shop in San Francisco's Chinatown that manga fans learned about in Pet Shop of Horrors. This manga made a lasting impression on me, a teenager during the early 2000's who was just discovering the stories that would shape her. Though Count D only appears briefly in the story, it seemed natural to my college self that he might be involved.
