the aquamarine au

Info about au below (or at least what i have so far)

-based on the 2006 move Aquamarine, a teen romcom about two teenage girls meeting a mermaid and helping her find love to achieve their wish of one of them not moving away (its my childhood). this au takes basic plot ideas from the movie but with major changes

Jimmy and Joel are both 17. Jimmy's family owns a small, local beach resort where he also lives. Joel lives next door and they're basically attached at the hip and spend all their time at the resort. It's tense between them because Joel is moving far away by the end of the summer.

Scar is 19. He's been working at the beach as a lifeguard since he was in high school. Local sweetheart, everybody loves him. Seems like he sucks at his job, but nothing wrong ever really happens on his shift. Known flrt.

Grian is an unknown age but closer to Scar than Jimmy and Joel. I'm still working out his part. He's a mermaid who ran away from home. The Watchers are a group who protect mermaid pods but have very strict rules and archaic views; such as there is no such thing as love and have arranged a marriage for Grian he doesn't want (The Watchers in this au are less Mega Evil and more Parents Who Don't Understand and Kind Of Suck). He runs away to prove love exists. In doing so, getting into a major fight with his sister.

Grian gets caught in a storm and washes up into the pool of the beach resort, where Jimmy and Joel find him. They are SUPER cautious at first, but immediately offer to help him find true love when Grian tells them that helping a mermaid grants them a wish. They're hoping to use the wish to make it so Joel's family doesn't move away.

Grian is a bit oblivious to the human world, but even more so to the concept of love, because it is not common in the mer world. This leads Grian to believe anyone can love you with a bat of an eyelash, which leads him to try to woo the first interesting person who catches his eyes; aka Scar. When it doesn't immediately work, he's actually quite pissed off and thinks its Scar's fault for not falling in love with him. Jimmy and Joel proceed to make a plan to match the two together because Scar is so nice and probably the only person willing to give this weird and off putting mermaid a chance.

Unlike the movie, which takes place over a couple days, this au takes place over the course of a month or two, so there is even more chemistry between the cast. Hijinks and cringey romcom shenanigans ensue.

The ending is very different from the movie (im still thinking about it i dont have a lot for this au please go watch Aquamarine tho its my childhood and i love it)

uhhhhh IDK WHO IS GOOD FOR A CECILLIA CHARACTER. ok in the movie theres a character named cecillia shes the typical mean girl trying to stop the main characters from getting together. i wanna put someone in this role bc shes iconic and has funny moments im inspired by but im having a hard time thinking of someone who fits the role. any ideas for this or any thoughts at all are welcome, this au is for fun!!!

Yeah sorry your boyfriend is dead. Yeah there was nothing we could d- wait what are you doing put the DNA copying powers down. Don’t look at him in the eyes desperately and copy his DNA. NO. BAD. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU COPE WITH LOSS. GO TO THERAPY DO NOT INVENT A NEW STAGE OF GRIEF. Why do I even bother.

The watchers finally thinking they're gonna get a meal from Smajor as they find him full on sobbing in the void. Only to take a bite and recoil in absolute disgust as they find pure love. He's so so happy GGG is on the mend, he's clutching Pearl's jacket so hard, he's star blush glittering happy and full of absolute love for those woman!!!!

SOOOOO funny when you’re having a strong emotion and your logical brain KNOWS you’re overreacting but you literally can’t do anything about it.

Third life if everyone had only one life

Grian didn't mean to kill Scar, he just meant to scare him so the prank happens and Scar is immediately out of the game.

As Skizz's death had nothing to do with Scar his death remains, Skizz is the second one out.

BdoubleO still falls to his death while building his base, he's the third one out.

Joel and Jimmy don't die yet because even they know better then to risk their only life in Dare to Flare...a game which probably isn't even ever a thing in an hardcore server.

As Jimmy is still alive he does set off Grians trap killing himself and Ren, they are the fourth and fifth players out.

Without Ren and to a smaller extent Skizz Red Winter™ never comes and a grieving Scott is left to seek revenge with Grian as his main target... The timeline splits severely.

Without Scar and Monopoly mountain Grian likely stays with BigB.

Martyn trying to get revenge for Ren probably teams with Scott in trying to get Grian.

That arrow game where Tango AND Etho die realistically doesn't happen with only one life.

Joel maybe still gets in a fight with Cleo and dies though probably in a different way but let's assume he doesn't.

Without Scar or Jimmy and with Grian and Scott in opposite teams Etho doesn't get shot.

Cleo still dies when trying to get Martyn, I'm almost sure of it. They are the sixth player out.

Monopoly Mountain vs Dogwarts never happens... Instead It's Grian and BigB vs Scott and Martyn with some other players on each side...based on characterisation I'm going to say Joel goes with Grian and Impulse with Martyn... I am unsure about Etho...

It's impossible that nobody dies, considering everyones pvp ability BigB is probably the seventh player out.

Tango is probably killed soon after much like in the og timeline though in a different way considering Ren is not here to kill him... Making him either eight or ninth out. Why? Because Martyn still dies to the skeleton which means it only depends on who dies first.

Impulse is never killed by Scar since he's out, however he still dies as Grian would still plan a surprise attack making him the tenth one out.

Joel being so unhinged means that even without Ren he still dies in the fight, possibly soon after Impulse, he's the eleventh out.

Grian (and possibly Etho depending on which side he took) are likely unable to kill Scott, so he lives.

Etho still dies around this time like in the og timeline as well, likely trying to kill Scott if on Grians side. He's the Twelfth player out of the game putting him in third place.

Scott and Grian are the only ones lefts, Scott likely wants a fair fight, so does Grian. Neither of them trows the game, It's a 1 v 1... And between the two of them Scott is the best equipped to win.

The first winner is The Star.

(Last Life)

the notes are broken 😂

"Scott and Jimmy are divorced-" actually Scott was widowed.

Which is very nitpicky, obviously, because. They're both currently alive and also no longer married. So divorced is a pretty fitting term.

But I think it's been so long since Thirdlife that we too easily forget when Scott was widowed.

Coming home to silence, to an empty house that was usually full of banter and laughter. He finds the cake he made Jimmy earlier that day, something he pranked Jimmy with, something they laughed about. It would stay uneaten now. He holds the Pufferish of Peace, a silly little misspelling that was just so Jimmy, one of the last things to remind Scott of him. It's quiet.

The rest of Scott's life was pretty short and miserable. He lost all his lives in pretty quick succession and the whole time after Jimmy died he was "dazed" as Bdubs put it. More violent and reckless than he'd been before (hadn't scott been the one to warn jimmy not to antagonize or get himself in trouble?), more dulled and unfocused than before. And then he died alone.

I think it's important to remember that Scott was widowed, not divorced. Losing Jimmy wasn't a mutual decision, or even something Jimmy asked for. It was sudden and violent and unfair. It broke Scott for the rest of the season. And Scott didn't even get to process it, really, living a short and miserable life and then being thrown into the next season where he was told nothing from before matters.

But it does matter. It festers and hurts and smothers. Not always, and it seems to get less as the seasons go on (or maybe scott just gets better at hiding how much love and grief buries him every time he sees someone he once called a partner), but when there are moments where Scott brings up their marriage, whether he's trying to get Jimmy's attention or being petty toward Jimmy, I feel like we don't analyze it enough through the lens of Scott as a widow.
