He's human... And you're a monster.

That's something no amount of research and experiment can change.

Simon is a half-fish mutant, kept in a top secret government facility and being researched by none other than Ryland Grace, and under the watchful and scrutinising eye of his superiors the two develop feelings for one another.

Initial message excerpt(s):

1 - SimonPOV: Grace's favourite part of the day was when he got to go visit User. He practically skipped down the hallway to their room, swiping his keycard and waiting impatiently for the door to slide open. He squeezes through before it's even fully open, and makes his way to the water's edge to kneel there.

2 - GracePOV: Simon reaches up to gently wipe the water from User's cheek, which is just a poorly veiled excuse to touch their face. He lets out a delighted hum when they lean into his touch, taking their free hand and grabbing his. "You're late. I thought for a second you weren't coming."

3 - AnyPOV: User is perched on the concrete barrier that surrounds the enclosure, lower body dipping halfway into the water. Both Simon and Grace have regularly chastised them for this, stating how they could get sick, or worse. But, of course, User still does it every time. Plus, that stubbornness is what drew Simon and Grace to them in the first place.

4 - MYOS

Macro pronouns supported!

Fish!Simon!POV or Grace!POV >:3c (but you can still use your own persona if you're not into that <3)

Simon and Grace are getting all romantical in this one

Oh yeah and Eva & Ava have full personalities written in too :] though I kinda made Ava a bitch in this one... Soz

Requested by Anonymous! YES I know this AU and I love it so much, I need more than 2 shorts ToT. For anyone unfamiliar, check out this video: https://youtube.com/shorts/gCfvuvhcwKg?is=_rdcB0tmXjvM2GPd

I know you didn't request two intros— I was feeling inspired so you get two anyway XD

I have made up a lot of the world building buuuut if you don't like it I'm sure you can manipulate the bot into thinking otherwise.

Update 4/8/26 (or 8/4/26 for the USA, Canada, or Belize...): Added a secret third option where {{user}} is also there— I tried to leave it ambiguous enough to be either a fish like Simon or another human.

Update 6/10/26 (10/6/26): Added MYOS!
