LITTLE BIRD | S.B.

word count: 2.2k

warnings: mafia!sirius, secret agent!regulus (not related to sirius in this au), prince!james, princess!reader, potter!reader, bodyguard!lily, future prince!remus- when I tell you I want to make this a series sooo badly, I've so many ideas

summary: when your parents go missing and hoards of people are trying to get into the palace to hurt you and your brother, you have no choice but to go and get help from the last person your parents would have you be associated with

There was a vibrant hum in the palace as you walked down the stairs, hearing aggravated groans filled with words that you simply knew they’d have swallowed had you already been in the room. You expected no less in your parents’ absence, everyone wanting to have their say in managing the situation at the gate, nearly hundreds of men and women gathering in angry hoards as they tugged at fencing, threw at windows, and cursed into the air. There were many opinions, always were, however, a queen and her husband missing and leaving her children to command her country while she was indisposed, prompted all the more than usual.

The door to your mother’s office opened from inside, strange faces meeting you as you stepped into the doorway, a silence shivering over the small space as James sighed, almost relived as men backed away from the corner, they’d talked him into, merely bowing their heads in acknowledgment of your presence.

“Ah,” he began and brushed his shirt into place as he nodded towards you. “Little sister, I assume you’ve come to enlighten us on the only right way to handle our little predicament?” he mused, and you knew his tone to have a familiar mix of sincerity yet belittlement to it.

Your brother was an odd creature, unlike either of your parents, unlike you for that matter. Never one for the politics of your home, the weight of your family, much rather cooped up in his room with his paintings, he’d have himself starved yet inspired instead of sitting about the throne dealing with issues of state. He was wise in his personal endeavors, but foolish in his belief that the Potter name held no purpose in his life, despite your shared responsibilities he’d always managed to twist your lives to benefit his own, though admirable for some, it left you plastered in his misfitting shoes.

“Consider the problem already solved,” You began and as if on cue, Lily came stumbling into the room behind you, momentarily stealing the men’s attention before demanding eyes fell back onto you. “Though I’m sure my parents appreciate council being offered so graciously to their children, I can assure you that we are capable of managing our own affairs,” You explained and cleared your throat as you stepped aside, hands folded in front of you as you waited for them to understand your request.

“I think what my sister is far too kindly trying to say, is that our mother fairs well without a bunch of old men telling her what to do and so will we,” James agreed and with a tired shrug he plumped down onto the leather office chair, gesturing the gaping men out of the room with an outstretched hand as he smiled at you. “So, what’re you going to do?” he asked once the room had cleared, assuming you’d miss the way his gaze lingered but a second too long on the woman who hovered at your side, hand resting on her gun halter as she looked at her feet.

“What I always do,” you informed him, allowing an arrogant smile to tilt into your lips, knowing it had no place there yet having no control over it all the same. “Clean up your mess.”

It was not long before you were pulling your coat around your body, ignoring the warnings that Lily was mumbling, a well-known mantra much like the one she’d heard from Regulus when he was training her to be your guard and much like you did to him, you paid the words no mind. You pulled the hood over your head as you reread the map on your phone to guide you in your escape, feet leading you past the staff rooms, through the fire escape that led you right into the hidden gardens where James thought he could smoke in secret.

“Princess, your parents wouldn’t approve of this,” Lily whispered, peering around the lawn as you opened the hidden latch that was made by the very person you were running to see. “Now is not the time to take this risk, not when they’re not here to get you out of trouble.”

“I have no choice, you know that, and they’d know that as well,” you bargained, knowing she had no intentions of making you stay when she followed you out of the gate and to the outside, the shouting and stomping growing louder as the two of you looked around for the car that he’d sent for you.

Not a word more was exchanged on the way from the palace, familiar apprehensive looks shared as the driver kept his eyes on the road, only looking down when his phone chimed with a text from the man in question, you presumed. You were unnervingly accustomed to the entire ordeal, knowing that despite the risk you were taking, the reward would be far greater, worth much more as you considered your choices. Lily was right when she spoke about your parents. You were making your own bed, as they’d taught you to, but they’d never approve of who you were inviting into it. You thought you’d have more time, time to butter them up to what was shaping up to be a yearlong conversation in hope for peace, but you’d never accounted for riots at your front door or death threats with blood stains thrown through your window.

The car eased to a still in front of the cold brick building, a hand on your back guiding you out of the street, away from wondering eyes as you looked back to see if Lily was close behind, the route was no different than before, the unhappy glares and whispered musings of disapproval being of no bother as you waited to be taken to his door.

“Princess,” a voice snarled, and you had no restraint as a frustrated breath left your lips, your mission was brought to a stop as a man stumbled into your way. “It’s been quite a while since we entertained royalty on this side of town,” he noted and you mustered a look of faux surprise, shaking yourself from the grip on your back as you looked him up and down.

“That might be true, but I am not here as royalty.”

“Aye? Who are you here as then?” he persisted and you scoffed, knowing that by the sudden silence that sauntered into the air the man in question was not far from the little scene that’d been formed, disrupting his time.

“My friend,” the thick accent fled through your senses as though it filtered through your veins, his frame begging your gaze to drift to him and it obliged, always did, a teasing smirk on his lips as he looked down at you from atop the stairs. “Does anyone have a problem with that?” he prompted, and it was as though the simple words held piles of threats as the men separated to make room for you to walk.

“Princess,” Lily gave a frustrated scoff as she was stopped at the foot of the stairs. “Be careful,” she insisted before you followed the man of the house to the office that you’d spent many nights hiding from the world, debating a settlement for families only known as foes.

“Sirius,” you sighed, closing the door behind you and smiling when he pushed himself onto the empty desk that sat askew in the corner of the bare room, his eyes trailed slowly over your face, trying his best to decipher why you were there without you saying anything, he had a frustrating habit of doing so quite successfully. “I need a favour,” you breathed after a second that seemed to last forever, squirming slightly under his gaze despite it being far from strange.

“I assumed as much,” he teased, nodding for you to go on as you walked towards him, tugging the hood from your head, fingers moving to ease everything back into place.

“There are people rioting in front of my home, threatening us, promising to kill us,” you began and stilled right at his side, looking down at the city as it lay in the streets, cars pulling up and then pulling away after mere minutes, a notion that you would’ve questioned in the past had you not learned to keep your nose from his business.

“I saw,” he leaned back against the wall to see you again, no doubt missing the smile that dipped into your mouth as he proved without much prompt that he cared at least slightly if you had managed to escape unharmed. “How did you get out?”

“Same way you get in.”

“Clever girl,” he tutted, and you’d have laughed at him if you weren’t to be in his debt in the future. “What exactly do you want me to do, hmm? Riots at the palace seem more like a job for the police, no?”

“They’re wearing your name, Sirius.”

You didn’t know how long you were supposed to pause after that. You were somewhat expecting him to jump to his own defense, half expecting him to accuse you of mistrusting him, yet you knew neither was to happen. Trust was a rather strong word to use for whatever the relationship was that you had. You knew he was true to his word, knew he would not allow you to come to any harm and though your power was much less than his own, you’d try to do the very same for him. Though beyond all of that, you knew that as many troubles lay with your name, there were many that laid with his own. He was a criminal, after all, some of the worst of his kind and you were in his home, begging him to help you when you knew it would earn you heaps of problems in turn. Your mother would have your head, she’d have his too. She didn’t take out his family, his entire line of kin just for you to allow their kind right back into your lives.

“They’re not mine,” he offered, and his hand settled on the table next to yours, tilting his head to see what you were looking at, humming as if to acknowledge your train of thought. “That’s part of our little agreement, is it not? Our little settlement of peace? I may not harm your family as revenge for what your mother did to mine, and you let me make a quick buck off taking out the bad guys the police miss,” he sighed at that, noticing the way you rolled your eyes at his almost mocking tone as he mimicked words that you’d spoken out of serious intents to do good. “Those men are trying to hurt you, Y/n, if they were mine then I’d have them tied and beaten already, you understand that don’t you?”

“Of course, I do,” you sighed, and though you should be very much appalled by his words, you found an odd sense of comfort in his reassurance, smiling with him as he nodded at you.

“Good. Now, do you want me to take care of it for you?” he asked and needed no answer to know that that was exactly what you’d come here for. “I sent men down as soon as you texted me. The gate will be cleared by the time you get home,” he explained and chuckled softly at the shock that sifted onto your face. “You think I’m not the first one to know when you’re in trouble, little bird? Though, I’ll admit, you were very brave coming all the way here, would not have known you were nervous had it not been for those,” he informed you as he pointed to your shaking hands, you’d hoped your grip on the table would’ve hidden it, but it seems you were very wrong, warmth spreading across your cheeks. “You’re shaping up to be quite the leader, you know, your mother would be proud.”

“So would your father.”

“Oh, I would not say that, bowing to a Potter is what he regrets most.”

“I’m sure,” you smiled, looking up to the door when Lily stumbled through it, just like before, the same look on her face as she looked between you and Sirius.

“Your parents were just brought home by Regulus and the rest of the CIA,” she explained, holding the phone out to show you the picture of them arriving at the palace and you had to shake your head at the timing, Sirius’ words being anything but empty as there was not a single soul out on front of the place, barely any evidence left behind of the reason for your visit except for abandoned signs and makeshift weapons.

“I have a new car waiting for you outside,” Sirius announced and shrugged when you looked at him with what any normal person would describe as awe, though you’d never dare to label it as such, merely an appreciation for his capabilities. “I’ll call when you get home.”

Okay, okay, the fic Worthy of Devotion, is in and of itself also worthy of my devotion. You don’t understand, it’s so good. It’s Fox/Riyo with Riyo as Chancellor and Fox as her personal bodyguard and you DONT UNDERSTAND!!! It’s BEAUTIFUL! It’s clone-centric, and has a goregous build-up, slow burn, little PTSD, addresses the clone slavery angle, and the effects that has on a mans self-worth, it’s just phenomenal. @hrtiu did some serious work on this one and I absolutely love it. This scene, this scene and Fox’s “I’d like to see you try” (which I won’t tell you when it is but just know it is executed FLAWLESSLY) have stuck with me so hard and are just ✨chef’s kiss✨

Short Reviews:

—

Three Swedish Mountain Men by Lily Gold gets four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A good 300-something page contemporary romance with a reverse harem. The usual kind of story: they meet and start a romance, something happens to pull them apart briefly before the end, then it’s fixed and everything is Happy Ever After.

It got 4/5 stars because I kept getting pulled out of the story during romance scenes due to trying to figure out the picture in my head of how their bodies were posed. Maybe it’s just me, but the author seems to leave out when they move from sitting to standing or whatever, and doesn’t really describe their positioning, so I’ll get a picture in my head and the next line will make me have to re-do that mental picture. It pulled me out of the story several times.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

—

Triple-Duty Bodyguards by Lily Gold also gets four stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Slightly longer than the last one I read, and I enjoyed this story more! I love how fleshed out the characters are, how it’s not really just three random men because ‘ooh reverse harem’ but each character has a story that gives their actions reason.

Still only four stars, because of the same reason as Three Swedish Mountain Men. Overall a great stand-alone RH contemporary romance.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

—

Faking With Benefits by Lily Gold gets 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I thought this one was much better than the previous two, there was only one scene that I got pulled out of because confusing wording/positioning of the characters.

I really enjoyed the story and characters! And I really liked the mentions of previous characters.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

—

The Golden series by Rachel Jonas gets 5 stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I really enjoyed this bully romance! I immediately fell for both main characters and loved that I got to see from both of their PoVs. It was absolutely shocking to discover the book was only a little under 300 pages (short, to me anyway). I was so into it. Great, quick read!

I read these on Kindle Unlimited.

—

The Seduction by Roxy Sloane gets 3 stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was absolutely unmemorable. Except the ending made me immediately decide not to continue the series based on the main male character’s thoughts.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

—

Seven Sins by J. R. Thorn gets 2 stars. ⭐️⭐️

The Seven Sins book was the BloodStone series 1-3. It was… okay.

The story and characters had so much potential, but it was extremely and unrealistically fast-paced. There wasn’t any real character development. The four male characters (this is a reverse harem) are all basically the same, ripped-muscles-and-dedicated-wholey-to-the-fmc dude. And the main female character was a complete Mary Sue.

I honestly don’t know why I finished the series. I think it was just because of how fast-paced it was… the potential of the story kept ahold of me until about 60-70% through and then by that point I figured I should just finish it. It wasn’t really worth it.

Definitely an interesting world, but it didn’t live up to my expectations.

I read this on Kindle Unlimited (which is why I accidentally read a series of three books as one).

—

Currently I’m reading A Queen of Ruin by K. F. Breene and I can already tell you it’s gonna be a 5 star!

Book Review: Triple-Duty Bodyguards by Lily Gold

One celebrity diva in trouble. Three overprotective bodyguards determined to keep her safe. As one of the world’s most hated celebrities, I’m used to unwanted attention. But when I wake up one morning to find a mysterious man has broken into my house, I know I need security, fast. Enter “The Angels”, my three ex-SAS bodyguards: Glen, the Scottish sweetheart with the scarred face and gentle hands. Kenta, the long-haired soldier with the tattooed skin and secretive smile. And Matt, the blue-eyed, bad-tempered leader haunted by his military past. Having three gorgeous men guarding me 24-7 sounds like a dream come true, but it turns out to be a nightmare. They’re always here, watching me. Caring for me. Protecting me. They tell me to ignore them and go about my business, but I can’t even think with them so close. The spark is too intense. On top of that, we don’t get on. They think I’m a demanding diva. I think they’re overdramatic. When a trip to America sends the guys’ protective instincts into overdrive, the sizzling tension between us finally breaks, and I learn my bodyguards’ biggest secret: they want me. All three of them. Meanwhile, my stalker’s behaviour is becoming more and more alarming. He’s photographing me through windows and following me in the shadows. With the premiere for my next movie coming up, will my three bodyguards be able to keep me safe from his clutches? Or will my terrifying pursuer finally get his deadly way?

Read my full review of Triple-Duty Bodyguards below the cut.

I love the banter on this! Everything was alright, but the characters and the dialogue were what I loved the most.

I adore Briar Saint as the heroine, and I like that she is consistent throughout the whole book. Matthew Carter, Kenta Li, and Glen Smith were also amazing. Ex-SAS military turned bodyguards who went through a very traumatic experience on their last tour. Matthew is the mandatory H with the trauma baggage, Kenta is the one who holds them all together, and Glen is the quiet supportive one. I would also give points to how the guys’ relationships are portrayed. We love to see supportive and openly affectionate manly men. But I was also left wanting more from them! Briar is the main focus of the story, but I would love to see more from the guys.

This is why I barely read standalone! I believe that lovable characters should be given more spotlight. Those cannot be fully portrayed in standalone books. But alas, we need to try or we’ll miss out on all the fun.

Anyway, back to the topic at hand.

The plot was just fine. Predictable, nothing major, but the characters made up for all its faults.

What I didn’t like was the stalker’s POV. He’s not that interesting to have dedicated chapters of his own. Perhaps that was the point? And the reason for it is to build further resentment for him. But eh, not for me.

Last thought: I would read Triple Duty Bodyguards again if I wanted something short and sweet. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a snarky heroine and embodies real bad bitch energy.
