A Cop, A Mountie, and A Baby (109)里的狼起源故事(这个母题好生眼熟

According to the textbooks, the wolf is a hunter, an animal of prey. The Inuit. The Inuit take a very different view of it. They have their own idea of why the wolf was created.

In the beginning of this legend, there was a man and woman. And nothing else on Earth walked or swam or flew And so the woman set the caribou free and ordered it to multiply and soon the land was full of them. And the people lived well, and they were happy.

But the hunters… The hunters only killed those caribou that were big and strong,and soon all that was left were the weak and the sick. And The People began to starve.

So the woman had to make magic again, and this time she called Amorak, Spirit of the Wolf, to winnow out the weak and the sick so the herd would once again be strong. The People realized that the caribou and the wolf were one. For although the caribou feeds the wolf, it is the wolf that keeps the caribou strong.

A Likely Story里的Lou Scagnetti

High atop Sulphur Mountain, in his lonely stone cabin, L-o-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti heard a knock at the door. Boom, boom, boom. So he opened it. And there on his stoop|stood the beautiful princess from the valley below. And the wind whipped about her hair|and the snow swirled about her. And L-o-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti froze. For the first time in his life,|he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know whether to kill her and eat her, or whether to bake her some of those tarts he was so fond of, the ones that featured chokecherries with brown lichen and little bits of dust. Lo-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti looked across the stone table at the beautiful princess. And he said to himself…

L-o-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti… looked at the princess who sat across the stone table in the stone cabin|high atop Sulphur Mountain. And the princess smiled at him. And for a brief second, Lo-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti could hear his own inner bell ring as though it were rung by a thousand angels. And he took his hand and he placed it over his heart. And L-o-o-o-u-u-u Scagnetti vowed that never again would he kill and eat another princess as long as he lived. Unless, of course, she were covered in chokecherries and brown lichen with a sprinkling of dust…

MotB那集的Barrett’s Privateers,懒得抄歌词直接引用wiki好了

After describing the initial voyage to Jamaica seeking American merchantmen and the problems with the Antelope, the unnamed narrator sings about how they finally found one, loaded down with gold. Unfortunately, the Antelope’s main-mast is knocked down with one volley from the American vessel, and Barrett is killed. The truck of the main sail “carries off both his legs” causing him to become a broken man.

The last two stanzas reveal that he is only “in (his) twenty-third year”, and lost both his legs in the battle six years earlier, and that it had taken all six years to make his way home.

Mixed Signals(http://archiveofourown.org/works/189553),非常暗黑的bestiality故事。

“There is an Inuit myth about the origin of the marine animals.” Fraser cleared his throat.

“In a small village, far away on the ice was a beautiful woman named Sedna and all the men from her tribe wanted to marry her but she rejected each and every one of them for one reason or another. One of the sled dogs, that her father was breeding, the strongest and fastest of them all, was deeply in love with her though—“

“A dog?” Ray interrupted confused.

“Yes Ray. And one cold and starlit night, with the Aurora Borealis above them, he turned into a man to be with her for one night, just before she came of age—“

“How?”

Fraser smoothed his thumb over his eyebrow. “I suppose with the help of another spirit. But that’s not important right now. What is important is that Sedna fell in love with him too. She found courage, a kind heart and a good character in him. The next morning, however, her father found his daughter lying next to his best dog. They cast the dog out and decided to drown Sedna in the ocean.”

“Whoa—because the man had been a dog?”

“They saw it as an omen of bad luck. So they rowed out to sea and threw her over board. But she gripped the rail with strong, cold fingers to prevent her death. So they cut off her fingers and when her fingers fell into the ocean they turned into the first seals. And Sedna sank down to the bottom of the ocean and became the ruler of the underworld and of all the animals.”

 

The Train Goes Slow by atrata(http://archiveofourown.org/works/73277),小锡兵的故事。

Fraser is telling him a story. It’s something about toy soldiers and ballerinas.

[……]

Ray ticks it off on his fingers. “One, you got a soldier guy, wearing blue and red. Two, soldier guy gets thrown out the window and b, I know you been on boats, Fraser, because I been on boats and ships and submarines with you. Then he gets swallowed by a fish, like a… like a sign, right, like on the boat, because then the fish gets caught by the people who threw him out the window in the first place.” He pauses, but Fraser doesn’t look like he’s getting it. “And that, my friend, is exactly the kind of crazy shit that happens to you.”

“Ah,” Fraser says.

“And me, I guess.”

Fraser sighs and shifts a little in his seat. “It’s just a story, Ray. I’ve never been eaten by a fish. Although, well, there was one instance of– ah.” He clears his throat. “It’s not important.”

“I bet,” Ray mutters, and taps his fingers on his thighs. “Okay, so how does it end?”

“I believe the stakeout’s over, Ray.”

“Yeah, but the story isn’t. Finish it.”

“All right, if you insist.” Fraser’s irritated. “He dies.”

“How?”

“One of the children throws him into the stove.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know.”

Ray nods slowly and starts the car. “Great story, Frase.”

“Thank you kindly, Ray,” Fraser says, and his bitchy tone matches Ray’s exactly.

Unhinged by arrow (esteefee)(http://archiveofourown.org/works/176265),蜘蛛女之吻(x

“No…” Fraser said finally. “I’ve never been a believer, not really. Not in sin, not in the devil and monsters—did I ever tell you the story of Kiviuq and the Spider Woman?”

Ray gave him a frustrated look and released his arm to yank at his own hair. “Fraser—”

“It’s Inuit,” Fraser said hastily, ignoring the eye-roll. “Kiviuq came upon the Spider Woman on a deserted ice island. She was a grotesque, bloated thing with many legs and red coals for eyes. The stink of carrion was about her, and surrounding her were the heads of all the men she had killed. All that was left of them after she’d fed.” He remembered the chill of dread he’d felt hearing the story as a child. “I couldn’t sleep for weeks after Innusiq told me about her.” He laughed, and was embarrassed at the choked sound.

Descendants (kuonji)(http://archiveofourown.org/works/956480)

“You know, Ray, in the origin story of the Haida people, the first people in the world arrived washed up on the shore in a giant clamshell. The Raven found the shell and tried to coax them out of it to join him so that he would have companions to amuse him. As the story goes, the people were eventually tempted by his extollments of the riches of the earth but by then the tide had lowered and the clam had shut tight. Some of the first men who were of superior strength opened the shell so that they could finally step out onto the world.”
