“They liked me better as a story than as a living thing.
so you're saying that none of this would have happened if they just gave Wen a milk bath”

“I read this story on:
http://www.tor.com/stories/2012/07/brother-prince-snake
I wasn't familiar with the fairytale (this is a retelling of the Prince Lindwurm tale), but I really liked it.
This story is about Wren whose mother died after giving birth to him. He believes he poisoned her with his scales. He has two brothers and he doesn't matter in his fathers eyes.
“It’s not that you are not a son to me,” the king explained. “It’s that you are not a human. You are a lindwurm. A snake. And though we know you, we do not recognize you.”
But in the end, it's not appearance that makes you a monster :) I really liked how this story developed and I'm going to hunt down the original tale to see how these two connect.
Edit:
I read the original tale here:
