athaiaFandom: Man from Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: Elizabeth/Mark
Rating & Warnings: T/no warnings apply
Estimated Fic Length: 2100 words
Notes: Second draft is finished. This is a prompt from smallfandomfest, asking for a romantic pairing. The idea I got for the fic sets it at the very beginning of the series, though, and I'm a Gen writer at heart, so I'm worried that the "sparks" I sprinkled into the story aren't... well... romantic enough? I don't want this to skew too far to the Gen side of things, but otoh, I despise insta-love. So I need some Romance beta's eyes on this.
That's the main thing. If some odd phrases catch your eye while reading, don't hesitate to point them out to me (English isn't my mothertongue), but I'd consider this a bonus - I don't expect you to comb this story for SpaG and weird ESL mistakes.
Canon knowledge isn't really needed for this short fic. All you need to know is that Mark had been washed ashore after a storm, and when it was discovered that his weird anatomy allowed him to breathe underwater, the Navy snatched him up and tasked Dr. Elizabeth Merril with finding out who he was and where he came from (and how to exploit his abilities for the fatherland, I guess).
