Hello lovelies. I really wanted to write an actual TLM fic, but sadly my mind could only create this drabble. As always, suggestions are encourged; I really would love to write a full-lenght TLM fic someday!


Sight

The colors above the ocean were much different from the colors Ariel knew. Ocean colors were vibrant and lively, painted onto surfaces by Mother Nature's delicate hands. But above the surface, color seemed to able to made out of anything.

Sound

In the surface world, sound was everywhere. From the drip drop drip drop of rain on the roof and the clop clop clop clop of the horses' hooves on the cobblestones, Ariel found the surface world was a noisy, restless place.

Scent

Clean laundry. Fresh baked bread. Leather shoes and saddles; so many smells dwelled in the human realm. Ariel quickly learned that not everything carries a welcoming scent. No, some things had a sour smell to them, like the smell of bitter sea air.

Touch

Ariel loved the way silk felt against her skin. She liked the crispness of old books in the palace library. But most of all she liked to walk on the beach barefoot and let the soft sand leak between her toes; it was her portal to the world she'd left behind.

Taste

So many different flavors—it was an awakening to Ariel's taste buds. She preferred the sweetness of fruit, ripened by the sun and the earthiness of crusty bread. She wanted to sample all of the glorious flavors of her new world.
