I have never encountered a mer-person Sutcliff fic but I once made mer-person 'art' for The Eagle: Spirit Scouting: Esca, instead of being captured by Romans, drowned after the Brigantes battle and was transformed in the each-uisge (water-horse, or Celtic mer-person).
If that is indeed the only mer-person Sutcliff stuff out there, something must be done immediately, I cannot bear such a burden of responsibility! :D
Justinius is a merman and rescues Beric when he is tossed off the galley.
That is a great idea! Beric discovers underwater life? Or Beric is carried to shore and pines for mysterious Justinius?
Beric could have been a merman all along and when he's thrown in the sea, he reverts to that form, but of course, too late to save Jason.
Classic Sutcliff.
Maybe JASON was a merman all along and they later reunite? Beric is in a mer-person household with Justinius and Jason swims along? Eventual poly mer-person family?
