\nFly Little Bird<\/strong><\/p>\n

TTTO Seanan McGuire's "Fly Little Bird".
\nWhen I first listened to that song, I was absolutely sure it was going to be about GRRM's "A Song of Ice and Fire". To my surprise, it wasn't. So I wrote this.
\n<\/em>
\n\t\tFly little bird, fly to me, fly little bird, won\u2019t you try?
\n\t\tTry little bird, lie to me, lie little bird, won\u2019t you fly?<\/p>\n

Littlefinger:
\n<\/em>Mockingbirds hide their nest deep in the forest
\nAnd mimic the others in song,
\nRumors will tell you I cannot be trusted.
\nWho said the rumors are wrong?<\/p>\n

Your mother had beauty, your father had honor
\nAnd neither had been you much help
\nBut I am a mockingbird, lurking in shadows,
\nAnd now you have nobody else.<\/p>\n

Hound:<\/em>
\nHounds, they are vicious and loyal and brutal
\nAnd won't back away from a fight
\nHounds never let go of prey once they find it
\nI think the hounds must be right<\/p>\n

I've learned by the hard way to never take pity,
\nNo quarter, no prisoners here
\nAnd I am a monster, yes, just like my brother
\nBut you have worse monsters to fear.
\n
\nBoth:<\/em>
\nI'm no prince from a ballad, no knight in fine armor
\nBut a girl must seek refuge from those who would harm her
\nThe world is a cold place; you won't find it warmer
\ncrying "Please, ser, please ser, come rescue me."
\nFly, little bird…<\/p>\n

Littlefinger:<\/em>
\nNow we shall see what is hidden inside you.
\nIt will not stay hidden for long.<\/p>\n

Hound:<\/em>
\nYou bought your life's price for a kiss and some verses…
\nI shouldn't have taken that song.<\/p>\n

Littlefinger:<\/em>
\nThe goal's one and easy, the ways are complex
\nThrough blood and birth, beauty and wealth –
\nAnd you are so beautiful, just like your mother…<\/p>\n

Hound:<\/em>
\nYou're beautiful just as yourself.<\/p>\n

Both:<\/em>
\nI'm no prince…<\/p>\n

No home. No hope.
\nLearn how to cope.
\nYou've no House to run back to.
\nNo one else will come save you.<\/p>\n

Littlefinger:<\/em>
\nBe strong.
\nHound:<\/em>
\nBe wise.
\nBoth:<\/em>
\nLearn to tell lies.
\nThere's no safety left to find,
\nEven within your own mind.<\/p>\n

I'm no prince…\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
