Official Description: Takumi is a merman, a young man who turns to dolphin in salt water. Working as a waiter, he believes himself to be the only one of his kind on this stretch of Hawaiian coast. But in the sea one afternoon he meets another shape-shifter with a dolphin calf. Is it a married man taking his son swimming, or could this be the partner that Takumi has long desired? Original Prompt: Dear Author, *Feel free to write any plot that whispers in your ear. *Not a fan of historicals, but i wouldn't mind a paranormal or contemporary setting. *This request may be a challenge with that kind of picture, but i would like the story to be "kinky". I would love you if you gave him a suit-wearing, tough Dom. No limits on how far to go, i like dark reads. *Please don't leave the child as an ornament, give him a little personality. The term family dynamics, comes to mind. I hope I’m not being too picky. I just really want good family dynamic, without it being too sweet, and some kinks. Photo Description: A beautiful Asian man stares solemnly, dark eyes, fine mouth, and high cheekbones framed by shaggy black hair. In his sweater-clad arms he cradles a naked infant. But though his hold on the child is competent, and loving, something in his face says this child alone is not enough.
