Lovely.

I love how you mixed such an amazing song with this mythology. They melded together incredibly well. Great job!

Thank you for you concern catspats31, but 'Danny Boy' is in fact in the public domain, Celtic Woman doesn't own it any more that I do. It is 100 years old and the original writer is long since dead. Check Wikipedia if you don't believe me. I thank you for your appreciation of my work, but ask that you please do your research before posting things like this.

The story is good, but since it has the copied lyrics of Celtic Woman's "Danny Boy", it breaks the following part of the Content Guidelines:

Actions not allowed:
3. Copying from a previously published work (including musical lyrics) not in the public domain.

Please remove all of the copied lyrics from your story before someone can use them as evidence in their abuse reports.

And in case you're wondering when and why that rule is made, here is the background information. Back on April 27, 2005, the admins put this message on the front page regarding songfics:

In addition, [this site] would like to address a growing problem. For whatever reason, some writers feel it's okay to copy-n-paste musical lyrics they have not written into their fiction. If you did not write it, do not post it. This has always been our policy. Please remove these entries immediately to avoid account closure.

Keep in mind that "public domain" means something that has expired intellectual properties, like Shakespearean works. And disclaimers don't cut it for song lyrics. Not even changing a few words from the original song will be enough.

I am really surprised that you've waited so long to write. As I've said, you are rather good. This was lovely :)

This was beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I don't think I've ever read a Loki/Sigyn story that was based on the original mythology, but being a huge fan of Norse mythology I was thrilled to find this. Beautifully written, and very, very sad. The song complements the story perfectly. Thank you so much for posting this.

(Also, I love your username.)
