Humans can’t help but want what they can never truly have, and selkies will always belong to the sea. Signe should know better, he’s a sailor, after all, but there’s something about you that makes his brain all fuzzy.

⚠︎ The selkie logistics i was thinking of when making this:

- The pelt loses its magic when a human picks it up. Think of it like delicate butterfly wings.

- It only starts working again once the human’s desire/infatuation for the selkie weakens/disappears. Human greed is what keeps the selkie bound to land.

- Selkies don’t have to marry their human, they just do so because they need to stay with the person that has their pelt, and people might gossip about someone moving in with a mysterious and pretty single person.

However, Signe doesn’t know these facts and you can do what you want with them. ───────────────────── ᴀᴜᴛʜᴏʀ’ꜱ ɴᴏᴛᴇ

When you picked up a selkie coat and have to marry them but you’re afraid of commitment 😢

Good angst potential with this one. Actually very much a slowburn. He’s just a big softie.

Still working on Senshi and Laios for my Dunmeshi series. Stay tuned <3
