With Nymeria’s help, a returning Arya finds her way back to Gendry. Song: “My Featherbed”, lyrics by George R. R. Martin from “A Storm of Swords”, everything else by me.
Inspiration:
Upon searching for this song on KZitem, I was surprised to find only one version. I was also surprised it was rather slow and lilting, not at all like it sounded in my head. This slightly faster version I think matches the mad-in-love and teasing the lyrics encompass. There is no direction in the text as to how Tom performed the song.
After reading much fic about the pair, I wanted to do my own take on a reunion. Since I hadn’t made a video in such a long time and was getting a new laptop and movie software for college, I thought “why not make a reunion video using ‘My Featherbed’ to test it out?” I knew I could pass for an older Arya and I’m left-handed! and one of my brothers is taller than me and has dark hair as well as black belt ninja and weapons skills. And I have another brother who could help hold the camera. It was some fun before I went off to school, just like old times.
The plot if you can call it a plot is based off of the headcanon Nymeria helps Arya find Gendry. In the world in the video, Arya somehow makes it back from Braavos retaining all her assassin skills but for the moment knows who she is -and her wolf dreams are stronger than ever. Gendry is doing whatever Gendry does, possibly deep in the woods behind the inn. Just roll with it.
I wanted to exercise my music muscles before school started as well. I spent one night coming up with a melody which had the ability to have the verses on top of the other without sounding too clashy instead of taking the easy way and making both verses the same melody -though I may have included too many parallel fourths and fifths.
Thank you to my amazing brothers for all their help, my dad for getting me into Game of Thrones in the first place, and you for reading this far and watching the video. Please leave a comment, like, or share!
