Fisher-Bird, by T. Kingfisher

 This story is a retelling of the Seven Labors of Hercules, as a dialog between a fisher-bird and a simple, but very strong and somewhat reluctant hero.  Most of what's interesting here is the dialog between the bird and the man--he is a poor, put-upon soul, and the bird is quite spicy.  They take a risk together to complete one of the labors.  It's fun.
