A mermaid might be on a quest to retrieve a magical artifact that was stolen by pirates. She has to get close to the pirate crew without revealing her true identity. Along the way, she forms an unexpected bond with a young pirate who is different from the rest, and they end up helping each other in ways they didn't anticipate.
Perhaps a pirate ship is cursed by a powerful mermaid after they desecrated her underwater grotto. The only way to break the curse is for the pirate captain to make amends with the mermaid. This involves a series of adventures where the pirates have to prove their worthiness and change their ways.

A mermaid x human fanfic could start with a human sailor getting lost at sea. A mermaid finds him and guides him to safety. As a result, they develop a relationship. They might face challenges like the mermaid's family not accepting the human or the human having to keep the mermaid a secret from his own kind. Another plot could be a young girl who has always dreamed of mermaids and one day, while swimming, she actually meets one. They become friends and the girl starts to learn about the mermaid's culture and way of life. And yet another idea is a mermaid who is curious about the human world above water and she meets a human who is equally curious about her world. They embark on a journey of discovery together.

She tries to use this power to prevent disasters in the underwater world, but some mermaids are superstitious and think she's a bad omen.

Instead of just falling in love with the prince, she discovers a hidden talent among humans like music or art and tries to bring it back to the underwater world.

The pirate has loyalty to his crew, but his feelings for the mermaid can put that loyalty to the test. And finally, the theme of mystery.
