->''Keitaro should have drowned that day, but he didn't; someone saved him, or so he believes. And when he finds her again, albeit injured herself, the least he can do is return the favor... that is, if he doesn't die from embarrassment first.''
''What the Water Gave Me'' is a fanfic by "RunicMagitek" based on ''VideoGame/ThirteenSentinelsAegisRim''.
Taking place in an AlternateUniverse, the story follows Keitaro Miura who has recently and miraculously survived drowning alongside his entire fleet in a naval battle. He finds himself returning to the beach where he washed up to understand how he survived and comes down there every day for a week. Then one day, he discovers an injured mermaid by the name of Natsuno washed up where he was found himself. A bond quickly grows between the two from that point on.
Not to be confused by the other ''Fanfic/WhatTheWaterGaveMe'' which is a ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'' fic.

* AdaptationalSpeciesChange:
** Natsuno is a mermaid in this fic. And it's revealed that all of the female pilots from ''13 Sentinels'' are her podmates in this AU.
** BJ goes from a robot to Natsuno's [[AnimalCompanion crab companion]].
* BathtubMermaid: Natsuno ends up spending several chapters recovering from her wounds in the Kurabe house's bathtub.
* CompositeCharacter: Yuki in this AU is mostly based on her adult 2188 version, being Natsuno's mother, but is also an ActionGirl like her teenage self.
* IAmAHumanitarian : Natsuno confirms herself that mermaids are willing to devour humans, mostly as a response to perceived danger, and says so rather casually which disturbs Keitaro (albeit for BlackComedy).
* InterspeciesRomance: Between Keitaro (human) and Natsuno (mermaid).
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: Natsuno is a classic fish-from-the-waist-down mermaid with a lot of scales and fins adorning her human half, as well as webbed hands, claws and pronounced fangs. At first she doesn't seem to speak, only talking through animalistic chirping, yet understands human speech and gesturing. It's later revealed that she ''can'' talk when underwater due to how a mermaid's voice functions and can communicate to Keitaro when they're both submerged. She also travels as part of a pod of several mermaids, has healing properties in her saliva that help mend a cut on Keitaro's forehead, and mentions mermaids dissolving into seafoam when they die.
* RescueRomance: Natsuno rescues Keitaro from a shipwreck at the beginning of the story and returns him to his hometown, but without him ever catching sight of her. Even that early, his interest in her begins to show.
* ShipperOnDeck: Tamao is quick to notice the fondness Keitaro and Natsuno have for each other and begins teasing Keitaro for his [[EveryoneCanSeeIt obvious attraction]].
* TheSpeechless: Subverted; Natsuno at first doesn't seem to be able to talk, only make animalistic chirps and purrs at Keitaro. But then she manages to submerge the both of them and it's revealed that she ''can'' talk, albeit only when underwater.
