Fics like The Strings of the Lyre

Slowly, Muiredach's voice trailed off, but he still continued to play. "There's a power in song, you know. There are tunes that can bring a crowd to laughter, and melodies that will force them to tears. A ballad can tell a man's entire life story, and with a few words he can be remembered as a villain or a hero. A lyric can cast a spell—can bewitch, enchant, ensnare. The wonders of a well-trained voice and an instrument in tune." He set aside the lyre and fixed David with a hard stare. "So, I find it a very neat trick, soldier, how you've managed to seduce my son with silence." --- Post-Canon. Some time after the battle on the beach, the Mute wakes and finds himself in the house of Diarmuid's father, a lord and poet who loathes his guest.
