I originally wasn’t planning on to give this a story, but I came up with one while I was drawing and wanted to share it because why not, so here:in this au, basically everything is the same, Sinbad still conquers dungeons and travels to countries, still makes the Seven Seas Alliance, becomes king and then Sindria gets destroyed and rebuiltwhat isn’t the same is Ja’far, he doesn’t meet Sinbad in Valefor’s dungeon, he isn’t an assassin also he’s a mermaid so Sinbad only meets Mahad and Vittelthe two of them meet, a bit later, when Sinbad first explores Sindria, as he takes a walk around he immediately spots someone sitting on the shore from the distance and calls out to the person but he flees before Sinbad could get a closer look at himafter that Sinbad wants to think he was just seeing things, but deep down knew that wasn’t the case so he keeps on visiting, hoping he will catch a glimpse of that person againhe keeps on waiting for that someone and one day he manages to catch and approach the person by talking to him calmly, and eventually he introduces himself as Ja’far, then the two of them slowly bond over stories, while Sinbad tells him about his adventures, Ja’far talks about his experiences and lifeand the two of them get to the point where they can call each other friends, except when Sinbad starts to talk about him to his other friends they have a hard time believing that someone like Ja’far existsSinbad tries to prove he’s right by taking his friends to the beach where he meets Ja’far daily, but every time he does, no one’s there, and after talking with Ja’far it becomes clear why he wouldn’t show up, he didn’t want to meet other humans, claiming that one is more than enoughSinbad has no choice but to accept that, but he also secretly promises to himself that one day he’ll make it happen because he didn’t want to deal with his friends looking at him like he lost his mind for forever and in his opinion, no matter what he says Ja’far could grow fond of other peoplehe shuts up about Ja’far even if he keeps visiting him, and the two of them get even closer, even develop feelings for each other, but with Sinbad being a womanizer and Ja’far stuck in the water, hidden away from people, there isn’t much they can do about these feelingsand eventually Sindria gets attacked and destroyed, Sinbad goes away for a while then returns and when he does it still takes some time for him to go near that part of the beach, but when he does there’s nobody waiting for himso Sinbad assumes Ja’far got killed during the attack too, so he unconsciously forgets about him and stays away from that place for a long time to keep himself from hurting, but years later when the day comes to remember the fallen ones Sinbad visits the beach again as soon as he remembers that this day inculdes Ja’far as well since he also died that dayand that’s when he finds out that Ja’far is still alive and well, and they catch up while the feelings between them resurface again, Sinbad knows he could do something about it if Ja’far would show himself to Yamuraiha at least, maybe by making him human, but Ja’far refused to be seen by other people and Sinbad doesn’t even know if Ja’far wanted to become human so he doesn’t bring it up to himbut when he gets back to the castle and gets asked where he’s been he slips up and talks about Ja’far again, how much he missed him and he starts to get weird, worried looks from his friends once again, but this time the palace workers hear about it tooand eventually the word gets out and the entire country finds out about it so it doesn’t matter where Sinbad is he gets weird looks from everyone and gets treated like he completely lost his mind, and there are a few people who try to capture this mermaid person Sinbad was talking about, so for a while Ja’far is forced to stay away from Sindria’s shorewhen it dies down a bit and they are able to meet, Sinbad explains everything and tells Ja’far that it’s completely fine if he doesn’t want to show himself, but if he feels up to it then this would be the perfect time to do it and even tells him about the plan to make him human, promising that only Yamuraiha will see him, he’ll make this workthen Sinbad sourly says that if the answer is no then this is the end of their relationship because as king he needs everyone to trust him, and this is only making him look bad in everyone’s eyes, and he never really thought about what other people might think of him but this is affecting him in a very bad wayJa’far obviously doesn’t want to lose Sinbad but he doesn’t want to be involved with others either, he was incredibly happy when Sinbad finally came back to him after all those years, when he thought he already forgot about himand Ja’far knew about Sinbad being a womanizer, he saw Sinbad being surrounded by women on multiple occasions and that hurt him, he really loved him so as a response he hugs Sinbad then kisses himand that makes Sinbad relax instantly, his thoughts drift away while he gets pulled down slowly, below the water, Ja’far refuses to give him up or to see him with anyone else ever again so he just drags Sinbad deeper down into the oceansoon it becomes clear that Sinbad is missing so the generals search for their king but they can’t find anything and Sindria dubs him as the mad king(x) this song kind of inspired this, also sorry but I didn’t want this to have a happy ending -- source link
