I have a psl I'd really like to fill. All of my lines involve unusual angst causing surrogacy in different settings. Gaslighting and brainwashing or body horror of various forms could be involved in some of the options, but it's a question of what both parties agree to. There's more in journal, but the line I really want to fill is below. It could be set in any number of time periods and ideally would have a lot of world building to go with it.
mercreatures will play either role Alaine/Alec's family is in dire straights. Their parents died when they were young and all they have left is an uncle who is now deathly ill. To pay for medical treatments, Alaine/Alec agrees to work with the owner of a traveling show who has an idea for a new exhibit. Alaine/Alec is injected with some of a cache of long since extinct mermaid eggs that was found. While hosting the eggs, Alaine/Alec temporarily sprouts gills, scales and a tail and is part of the show.
Robin/Ryan is their caretaker, keeping their exhibit clean, overseeing their transport and making sure that Alaine/Alec is comfortable. Alaine/Alec can't help but grow fond of Robin/Ryan, be it Stockholm Syndrome or something real, but Robin/Ryan has a dark secret all their own and they're not sure how Alaine/Alec would feel if they knew the truth.
