Your challenge is to write crossover fanfiction combining Animorphs and the Little Mermaid. The story should use bondage as a plot device!

Why it could work:

- Time travel is canonical in the Animorphs universe (the Time Matrix), so the fact that Ariel lives in the past could be dealt with in a reasonable way.

- Ariel is a mermaid who changes into a human. The Animorphs are teenagers who change into animals (including fish) on a regular basis. They could have some interesting, thoughtful conversations about this.

- If we use the word "bondage" in its classical sense (i.e. slavery, restriction), it would definitely work as a crossover theme. Ariel spends all of her life hampered by her fin, wanting to be part of the human world and away from her father's restrictions. Even better, the Animorphs are fighting to save earth from parasitic aliens who enslave people!

Yep, this could be a decent fic. Weird!
