Yaaay, you updated! I'm so excited to finish this!

Urchin- the idiot...well well meaning idiot. He should have went to the king...but then there goes the plot.

Thank you for this chapter and yes I want to read the rest of this story so I will be patiently waiting for however long it will take.

I've often said that there's no such thing as writer's block; the problem is idea block. When I find myself frozen–whether I'm working on a brief passage in a novel or brainstorming about an entire book–it's usually because I'm trying to shoehorn an idea into the passage or story where it has no place.

Oh wow, Ariel was seen...and let go!

Oh, so Athena was human and gave it up for Triton.

Intriguing. Love that your using the original story idea, that a mermaid turns to foam when they die.

I really enjoyed the concept of this story and hope you continue it.
Sincerely,

I am so glad you updated this! I absolutely love this story and hope you finish it. It's one of my favorite ArielJim stories and I love the way you have them getting closer over time. So please, please keep writing it.

I am LOVEING this story so far! It's pretty original, organic, and not so expectingly predictable if that makes any sense. I just wish you would update more often and make the chapters longer but beggars can't be choosers. Each bit I will cherish even though you will leave me sitting at the edge of my seat. Please update soon or else I might fall off leaving you a very hefty hospital bill. Lol

There is a few things though that I would like to be elaborated on a bit more. Why does Jim feel the need to be responsible for her? An in-depth exploration of his sudden declaration of him swearing himself to her would be nice. Not just that but their overall emotions in general. Not saying you aren't doing it now there are just a FEW moments where it is a bit lacking.

This isn't by no means me to offend you or to be sexualized, it's just something I want to point out that is a bit of an inconsistency. In the beginning of the story when Jim finds Ariel, you mention his sense of morality. Then at the end his mother allows him to get Ariel cleaned up. He does so by removing his shirt, picking her up placing her on the water, and stays to watch her. I hope you can see what I mean. Why all of the sudden is he suddenly comfortable with her in this situation? Is it because of his attraction to her makes it easy for him to forget morality? Or is it the fact that she's naïve and didn't mind being looked at before? I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies that will hopefully be elaborated on or what ever it is you prefer to do.

Overall though your story is absolutely brilliant! Please update soon!

I think they have already fallen but they have no clue yet!

Ugh, it's always so frustrating to read as she makes that mistake :/ But the part where she talked about Jim smiling at her while she babbled was adorable, I could just imagine it xD

Nice chapter C: Update soon!
