Chapter 1
So sad, so true
NOTES:
Okay, first of all, welcome! And thank you for trying out this fic :D
So, I was listening to one of my favorite Disney songs, Poor Unfortunate Souls from The Little Mermaid, and I was like… What if Loki would sing this? What if we would replace Ursula with our dearest god of lies and replace Ariel with Peter?
...
And then I went to the dark side of my mind, and this came out ^^'
The first chapter is the adjusted song "Poor Unfortunate Souls" written for Loki!
The second and third chapter are the horrible fic that the song inspired me to write.
I truly hope you will like it as much as I did, and please PLEASE mind the warnings in the description! THis is not a happy fic! I repeat; THIS IS NOT A HAPPY FIC!
Enjoy!
P.s. If you are a Good Guy Loki Lover, please don't read this. I Absolutely LOVE Loki myself and have written quite some fics about him being cute/adorable/kind (See my other fics; little loki's big adventure)
If you would like to read a fluffy story on Peter and Loki, please read my fic "A Tale of the Trickster and the Spider" :)
Thanks, and I truly hope you will enjoy this dark mess!
The only way to get what you want is to become a Super hero yourself.
Can you do that?
My dear, sweet child, that's what I do
It's what I live for
To help unfortunate mortals like yourself
Poor souls with no one else to turn to
I admit that in the past I've been a nasty
They weren't kidding when they called me, well, a witch
But you'll find that nowadays
I've mended all my ways
Repented, seen the light, and made a switch
true? Yes
And I fortunately know a little Seiðr
It's a talent that I always have possessed
And dear boy, please don't laugh
I use it on behalf
Of the miserable, the lonely, and depressed (Pathetic)
Poor unfortunate souls
In pain, in need
This one longing to be a soldier
That one wants to build a suit
And do I help them?
Yes, indeed
Those poor unfortunate souls
So sad, so true
They come flocking to my cauldron
Crying, "Spells, Loki, please!"
And I help them
Yes I do
Now it's happened once or twice
Someone couldn't pay the price
And I'm afraid I had to rake 'em 'cross the coals
Yes I've had the odd complaint
But on the whole I've been a saint
To those poor unfortunate souls
Have we got a deal?
If I become a hero, will I ever be with my aunt or friends again?
Who knows?
But you'll have your team
Life's full of tough choices, isn't it?
Oh, and there is one more thing
We haven't discussed the subject of payment. You can't get something for nothing, you know
But I don't have-
I'm not asking much, just a token really, a trifle
What I want from you is your voice
But without my voice, how can I-
You'll have your strength, your baby face
And don't underestimate the importance of body language, ha!
The Avengers there don't like a lot of blabber
They think a boy who gossips is a bore
Yet on S.H.I.E.L.D. it's much preferred for heroes not to say a word
And after all love, what is idle babble for?
Come on, they're not all that impressed with conversation
True Avengers avoid it when they can
But they dote and swoon and fawn
On a hero who's withdrawn
It's he who holds his tongue who gets the job
Come on you poor unfortunate soul
Go ahead
Make your choice
I'm a very busy Æsir and I haven't got all day
It won't cost much
Just your voice!
You poor unfortunate soul
It's sad but true
If you want to cross the bridge, my sweet
You've got the pay the toll
Take a gulp and take a breath
And go ahead and sign the scroll
Huginn, Muninn, now I've got him, boys
This god is on a roll
This poor unfortunate soul
Hakurel, Níðhöggr
Come leaves of Yggdrasil's branch
Larengix glaucitis
Et max laryngitis
La voce to me
NOTES:
Okay, so there are just two thing I would like to elucidate;
In the original song, Ursula sings to her two eels, Flotsam and Jetsam. I replaced the eels with Odin's ravens Huginn and Muninn.
Also, at the end of the original song, Ursula sings "Beluga, sevruga, Come winds of the Caspian Sea" Beluga and Sevruga being two types of sturgeon fish, both native to the Caspian Sea. I replaced them with Hakurel, Níðhöggr, who were dragons in norse mythology and known for eating the roots of the tree, Yggdrasil. 😊
Well, that's it for the song.
I will be posting chapter 2 tomorrow!
Thanks again so much and I hope to see you again in chapter 2! :D
