The Little Mermaid AU; Dark Themes afterandalasia February 23 2011, 17:29:47 UTC

Sooo, I've been going into this idea too much but whatever.

Ariel grows up in a little farming town but desperately wants to go to the big city. When she hears that Ursula -- chastised by the religious town for 'improper' berhaviour -- is moving, she begs the woman to take her too. Ursula agrees, for a price: Ariel must work for the bar that her friend owns. Ariel doesn't care and signs the contract, only to find when she gets there that it's actually some seedy strip club -- but she's signed the contract and can't back out now. She meets Eric when he's bought there by friends for his 21st birthday and it's love at first sight, but can he rescue her?

tl;dr: AU where Ariel is a country girl longing for the city but gets caught up in the seedy underworld instead.

Amid the busy and dusty work of overseeing the movers (Lord knows she wouldn't actually do it herself, heaven forbid) Ursula Catamier finds a moment to inspect her reflection in a mirror recently taken down and propped against the wall, resplendent in early morning light from the open door ( ... )

The girl laughed in relief, but still hung in the doorway, restrained in a quaint way from entering a stranger's house without permission ( ... )

Ursula busied herself with personally packing away her favorite jewelry into its velvet holding case.She did not even turn when she heard Ariel's broken, muttered, "Oh, okay, then..." or when she heard the quiet shuffle of Ariel's feet out of the door ( ... )

Argggghh, this was PERFECT. Oh my god, I don't have words! I love that it's written from Ursula's POV as well, she just sends shivers down my spine. This is plain genius, damn.

*blushes*

Thank you! I'm glad you like it.

I'm definitely planning to take it a lot further when I have some more downtime this week. You were saying the only pairing you wanted was Ariel/Eric, right?

[Lol, I was scared you'd find it stupid set in the South, but hey, you write what you know. When I read "small-town" I went "OMG, Valdosta!"]

Re: I HAVE A TITLE NOW: "Black Velvet" afterandalasia February 27 2011, 17:40:35 UTC

The small-town thing was, I strongly suspect, from watching Footloose; that southern thing was pretty well what I was imagining!

Well, I was thinking Ariel/Eric to stick to canon, but I don't really mind. I'm a bit of a multishipper, lol. Run wild!

(As an aside, I'm a Brit, but I can totally feel the atmosphere you're describing.)

The trip was dynamic, to say the least ( ... )

Mint and lavender lighting swirling like oil in the air, across it's glass floor and up it's vaulted, black ceilings. The green stage with it's multiple levels, it's maroon curtains piled like sleeping beasts on the side. The booths, great-clam constructions, the contrast of hammered black steel and purple cushions. The music, dark-lipped artists whispering ironic promises of pleasure laced with pain, the sudden abrupt blast of a trumpet and the slam of a wailing voice ( ... )

Oh god your Ursula and the grooming and this fic is so PERFECT. I am RUNNING OUT OF COHERENCE HERE. Ohgod this is so wonderful.

Re: "Black Velvet" Continued guiltyhousewife March 2 2011, 19:01:42 UTC

Wow, thank you. I am so glad you like it.

My literature midterm is tomorrow, so you can bet I will spend all Friday night finishing this, since next week is my spring break and I have no other more "responsible" tasks to draw me away, lol.

Life at the Sea Cave had changed her, forever ( ... )

She gaped, unsure what to say ( ... )

Re: "Black Velvet" Continued guiltyhousewife March 7 2011, 04:58:08 UTC

The next couple months passed in a pleasurable blur for Ariel. Though her nights still revolved around the Sea Cave and spending time with Ursula, her days were spent on countless dates with Eric Rigsby ( ... )
