Summary: Arthur is spending a normal summer at his father's beach house in Cape Cod, when he encounters the extraordinary in the form of an enthusiastic young merman named Alfred, who holds an intense curiosity for Arthur. Over one summer, they'll fall in love. Over one summer, their lives will change forever.
Chapter Summary: “This is what we call fast food, Alfred,” Arthur explained, reaching in the bag and pulling out two wrapped round objects and two containers of thin yellow food items. “It’s what humans eat when they’re in a hurry or want something that doesn’t cost much. There are loads of fast food restaurants.”

He pointed to a word on the side of the bag. “And this, is McDonald’s.” He slid one of each object over to Alfred. “I got you a quarter pounder with cheese, that’s a hamburger, and a large order of chips. Fries, they call them in America. You eat it all with your hands.”

Eyes large with curiosity, Alfred removed the wrapper from the hamburger, running his fingers across the bun as he did so.

Over one summer, they'll fall in love. Over one summer, their lives will change forever.
Chapter Summary: He was dating a merman. Three days ago, the mere idea of Alfred even existing had been a preposterous one. Now he was, for the third day in a row, spending time alone with him. Whether it was sitting on a dock or on the back of a yacht, it was just the two of them with only the sea as their company. In retrospect, it was… rather intimate.
Author's Note: I have added two beautiful fanarts by lumosolarum to the fic fanart post HERE! Thank you so much. ♥

Chapter Summary: Why was it so hard for him to smile? Arthur was so weird. He knew most humans didn’t act like Arthur. At least, the ones he saw out on their boats were usually pretty jovial.

They also, far more often than not had other people with them, unlike Arthur, who came out in the yacht by himself. Alfred sighed inwardly, gazing up at the sky and wrapping his fingers around the camera. Pleasantly warm breezes skimmed across the top of the waves, causing the boat to rock gently.

“Hey Arthur, don’t you have any friends?”
Author's Note: Sorry for the delay in updates on this one. For some reason I struggled with this chapter a lot!

Author's Note: Okay. First off, the next chapter of You Can't Take the Sky From Me is almost done. Barring a random disaster, it WILL be out by the end of the week. But I really needed to start getting this story out of my system. Who am I to ignore the muses? Cerulean will not be a super long fic. I'm not quite sure of the chapter count, but certainly it will be under ten chapters. It's a little bit fantasy, a little bit slice of life, and a lot romance. :) There are some notes at the end of the chapter.

( Had a merman seriously popped out of the Atlantic Ocean beside his yacht and declared something awesome? )
