Writhing Bloom
My entry for day three of @vikingsevents Valentine's week prompts. Day three is first date.
Pairing: Rollo x Gisla Warnings: None, unless you count fluff. Word count: ~500
Rollo paces the length of the dining hall nervously. He has faced countless warriors fearlessly on the battlefield and yet this, this moment strikes genuine fear into his heart. What if Gisla does not like it? What if she laughs and all of this has been for naught?
Fresh cut wildflowers adorn the table, their aroma made headier by the candles that flicker beside them. He has ordered the finest of wine to be pulled from the cellars. His cup sits half empty already, a much needed elixir to soothe his nerves.
He knows that Gisla did not get a say in their marriage, she was treated as a mere prize for his cooperation with Francia. Such a large part of their union has been strained under the weight of her unhappiness, she had despised him. He has worked hard to earn her affections, changed every part of himself, even given up his sacred arm ring. 
Their first kiss was a more satisfying victory than any battle he’d ever won. Rollo’s history with the fairer sex was not an admirable one. His heart twists painfully when he thinks back on Siggy. She had died not knowing how he truly felt for her, because had never shown her, let alone told her. He would not make the same mistake with Gisla. Their coupling may not have had a happy beginning, but he would make sure she never doubted his feelings for her.
As she sweeps into the room, long dark hair flowing in soft waves past her shoulders, his breath is taken away; just the same as it was the day they first locked eyes over the ramparts during the attack on Paris. However, this time when Gisla looks at him her gaze does not burn with contempt, there is something softer in her expression. If Rollo did not know any better he would mistake it for love.
She smiles as she takes in the scene before her, gratefully accepting the wine cup that Rollo offers to her. “What is all this?” She asks softly.
Rollo has never been one to be bashful and yet he finds himself nervous. Gods, Rollo, you’ve fucked her already. Why is this so difficult?!
He averts his gaze, clearing his throat, before looking back to her. “Before you, I was with a woman.” He says, green eyes looking earnestly into her brown ones. “I did not treat her well. And I know you did not choose to marry me, but I wanted, no, needed to let you know that I…Gisla, I love you.”
The words tumble out inelegantly. This is the most vulnerable Rollo has ever allowed himself to be with anyone and there is a part of him that hates how he looks to her like a lost dog seeking the approval of its master. He holds his breath, awaiting her response. The silence feels like it stretches for an eternity, surely his heart will hammer its way out of his chest before she responds. Words are not needed though; as she reaches up and presses her lips softly to his, he knows all he needs to know and it calms the tempest in his chest. She loves him too.

Livin for the fact that I just realized we are related to the person that “Rollo” from the tv show. Vikings, is based off of……and then, if you move shows, we’re also linked to Mary, Queen of Scots, from Reign.

Gisela de Francia
Gisela de Francia fue una legendaria princesa franca del siglo X, que, según la tradición, se casó con el líder vikingo Rollo de Normandía. Su nombre, Gisela o Gisla, procede de una palabra del alemán antiguo que significa "prometer", cuyo equivalente en francés sería Gisèle. El consenso general entre los historiadores es que Gisela de Francia nació hacia el año 900 en el Reino de Francia Occidental, en la corte de Carlos el Simple. Lo más probable es que fuera una de las seis hijas del rey y su primera esposa, Frédérune. También se afirma que Gisela se casó con Rollo, el fundador y primer gobernante de la región de Normandía, tras su conversión al cristianismo en el año 911 d.C.

The writer of the series knew that Rollo x Gisla was the it couple of Vikings and that's why he created Canute x Emma.

Ragnar: What’s the best way to calm down your child who wishes to murder his wife’s ex boyfriends?
Rollo: Which son of yours wishes to kill all of their wife’s exs?
Athelstan: Is it Bjorn? Please be Bjorn! Jarl Borg and Erlendur have always freaked me the out! Dear God let it be Bjorn!
Ragnar: It’s Bjorn he found out about how Guthrum was conceived and now to add to that he also saw a video of Erlendur hitting Torvi…
Floki: Why don’t we just let Bjorn do what he pleases then we just need a really good lawyer…Rollo is Gisla still a lawyer?
Rollo: Yes she is, and they say she’s one of the best…I think I agree with Floki on this one.
Ragnar: Athelstan are you sure your okay with this?
Athelstan: For once I support this…I’m all in…
Bjorn: Thank the Gods! And Rollo remember to tell Gisla she’s my favourite Aunt…
Rollo: She’s your only aunt…
Bjorn: Not the point.

As I am writing The Sea Fig i am thinking of rewriting and continuing my first original Rollo x Gisla fanfiction that I thought i had deleted, but is actually still on fanfiction.net.
I wrote it when i was 15/16, then abandoned it because at the time i was going through a hard time + I lost chapter 5 and 6.
also I will definitely rename it lmao

The Right Choice
Tumblr media
(gif credits to @sweetladylucrezia​ )
Fandom: Vikings
Pairing : Rollo X Gisla
Genre: Romance
Warning: None
Words: 1177
Summary: Gisla’s behaviour makes Rollo doubt his choice.
A/N: First of the drabble request for my 500 followers celebration. This one is from @naaladareia​. Hope you will enjoy, love.
She had mocked him again. He had poured his heart out in front of everyone, refusing to sign those damned annulments papers and she had done…nothing. She had listened to every word that came out of his mouth but in the end, she had just looked at him, emotionless.
Then, she had left the room after murmuring a “I’m sorry, but I can’t give you what you want.”
The only consolation being that the comment had not be said with spite. Maybe he was getting somewhere with his wife after all. He hoped so; otherwise, he would have done all of this for nothing. Leaving his home, betraying his family once again for a destiny which was not happening how he would have wished. The Seer certainly foresaw that he would marry a princess but there was nothing about happiness.
He frowned. Maybe destiny needed a little push in the right direction. Determined, he made his way to his wife’s chambers – no, their chambers – and waited until she would return to get ready for bed.
As usual, she did not acknowledge him and let her maid prepare her for bed. Rollo watched intently, perfectly aware that she did not like it. He did not care one bit. He was her husband, he had every right to. When the maid left, Gisla lay down under the covers, doing everything in her power not to touch him in the process.
Rollo sat on his side of the bed. Something clenched in his chest. But he would not give in. He sighed heavily.
“I gave up everything for you: my family, my home, my beliefs, my Gods. I chose to be with you. I want to be with you, to fight next to you for Paris even if it means getting rid of my own flesh and blood. I am doing this for you, for our marriage. Not for power or glory. I want to have a life with you. I want to have children with you. I could give you everything you want so why can’t you? Am I not enough?”
Silence answered him.
“I won’t give up and I will certainly not agree to any divorce. You are stuck with me. Forever.”
After casting one last look at her, Rollo lay down on his side, offering her his back as well. On the other side of the bed, Gisla opened her eyes. She had heard every word and even if it pained her to admit it, his little speech had touched her. Just like the one he had made earlier that day. Some part of her wanted to yield and welcome him with her arms wide opened but another part stubbornly refused to do so. The more he tried, the more she pushed him away. She thought it would be efficient but he had just proved it was not. What could she do now? Listen to that part of her who was happy her husband would stay or keep fighting and make their lives both miserable?
She closed her eyes and listened intently to his breathing. When it got deeper, she turned around. Her eyes stopped on the tattoos on his back. She had taken the habit to watch them and by now, she could draw them heart by heart, which infuriated her somehow. I
n spite of her best intentions, she had shown interest in him. Her pagan husband was as tempting as the Devil and she had succumbed too easily for her liking. How was it possible to go from wanting to stab someone in the back to end up wanting to touch his skin? Her slender fingers ghosted over the tattoos. Just once. Nobody would know.
Unable to resist any longer, she stroked his skin: broad shoulders, muscular arms and back. He was surprisingly soft to the touch. If only she could touch more…
Her husband chose this moment to turn in his sleep. Mortified, Gisla retrieved her fingers, closed her eyes and tried to remain calm. She waited a few minutes. Nothing. She opened her eyes again to realize Rollo was still fast asleep. She exhaled deeply, feeling relieved.
Her eyes were attracted by the tattoos once again. It was the first time she could look at those so closely. They were mesmerizing in some way and so inviting to the touch. So, she did…
Her fingers followed the drawings on the right side of his front with fascination: on his shoulders, chest, nipples, his taut stomach. Soon enough, the tattoos were not the only thing she was touching and she went into a full exploration of her husband’s upper body. He was soft and yet so firm, full of muscles.
The male body had always been a mystery to her. A mystery she had never really paid attention to until her heathen husband came along. That is when the fantasies had begun, invading her dreams where her husband was always the main character since their wedding night. How many times she had gone to confess her sinful thoughts to finally wonder if dreaming about her husband was a sin. Surely, it could not.
Lost in her own thoughts, she did not realize her husband had woken up…until she felt his muscles tighten as her fingers came near the lace of his trousers.
Her breath stopped and her fingers tensed up on his body. She could not move. She would not move. That would mean facing him and she felt unable to do so. On the other hand, she could not stay here with her eyes fixed on his crotch. The fact embarrassed her even more and she looked up abruptly.
Her husband was watching her intensely, eyes dark and needy. He was waiting for her to make a move, she knew it. There was no way he would try anything after her numerous rejections. Was it a step she could take though? Apparently, she could because her lips pressed against her husband’s ones before she could think more about it.
Rollo could not believe it. His wife was finally kissing him. It was quite clumsy but so cute, the way she nipped at his lower lip, how her tongue played with his. He let her the upper hand, unwilling to rush her. Tentatively, he ran a hand down her back and pulled her against his chest when she did not show any sign of discomfort. Emboldened, he made them roll on the bed so that he was over her. Gisla watched him almost tenderly, her fingers weaving in his short new cut hair. He leaned in to kiss her already swollen lips and his wife returned the gesture eagerly. Soon, his lips abandoned hers to follow down a path on her creamy and slender neck.
“Rollo…”
The sweet sound made his heart swell. This woman was his. Gisla was his and she was accepting it willingly. Finally, destiny was on his side. He did not need anything else now. he was certain he had made the right choice.
Tagging: well only @naaladareia​ lol.
