Yael x Baaz

Liberty x Kelly

JT x Hazel

Marisol x Dave

Esme x Shay

Peter x Owen

Lol thank you! I hadn’t ever thought about some of these so this was challenging and fun 😂

Zig/Miles:

They had a fun dynamic and I wouldn’t have been opposed to it but on Zig’s end I couldn’t realistically see it happening

Alex/Ellie:

I also found their dynamic compelling and could have seen it happening.

Drew/Jake:

Maya/Tori:

As much as I liked their friendship I have a hard time imagining it romantically especially from Maya’s end

Bianca/Katie:

It would have made sense as a enemies to lovers type thing and they had the chemistry to pull it off but Bianca deserves 1000 times better so no.

Anya/Fiona:

I definitely could have seen it and definitely think I would have enjoyed them had it happened.

Manny/Ellie:

I just can’t picture it and Manny deserves better then how Ellie treated her

Miles/Grace:

I surprisingly feel like this would have made some sense. I mean if she had liked Miles instead of Zig, it actually would have fit because she showed the jealousy with him and Zoe during DLB. It still would have been stupid because they clearly were setting up Gracevas but it still would have caused the precious drama they love so much just not in a way that tainted Zaya or the Zig/Grace friendship. But even aside from that I feel like they had some chemistry and could have been interesting.

Hunter/Esme:

It would have made sense cuz she clearly has a thing for the Hollingsworth’s LOL but Hunter with anyone is just a big no.

Jay/Darcy:

They were fun in the scenes they shared and Darcy had a pattern of falling for the troubled guys so I could see it happening as another enemies to lovers type thing. I do think she could do a lot better as much as I loved Jay (unless he evolved into a better guy the way he did with Manny) but I wouldn’t have hated it

Manny/Jimmy:

Doesn’t compel me/doesn’t make sense

Oops I reached the photo limit lol. I can’t really imagine them together and am not sure how compelling it would be since I don’t think they even shared one scene together. He probably would have treated her better than most of the guys she was with though.

Craig/Marco:

Compels me/makes sense

It was basically confirmed they were supposed to have been a thing and it makes me sad that was dropped. They definitely made a lot of sense and I definitely found them compelling.

Holly J/Spinner:

Compels me/makes sense

Made sense/compels me though I also understand why it didn’t happen even aside from Spinner already being in a relationship. There actually was a significant age difference so it’s probably for the best it didn’t happen but I still loved their friendship.

Tiny/Frankie:

Doesn’t compel me/doesn’t make sense

Makes no sense/doesn’t compel me. Maybe if he hadn’t already dated her two best friends but even then I can’t really see them being involved and honestly after Frankie’s behavior in season 2 I feel like it would be awkward. Like I don’t think Tiny held it against Frankie or anything but I can’t imagine him wanting to date her after all of that either

Eli/Katie:

Compels me/makes sense

As much as I really don’t care for either character I feel like they were actually similar (not in a good way though) and would have made sense and I feel like it actually would have been interesting to see.

Sav/Bianca:

Compels me/makes sense

I think it would have made sense and they would have been fun together, it’s a shame they didn’t interact after the concert episode. Actually they did for like 2 seconds when Drew and Sav were doing the music thing behind Alli’s back or whatever but after that nothing. I love Drianca but still I could have gotten into them.

KC/Alli:

Compels me/makes sense

I actually low key shipped them in season 8 and it would have been way better and made more sense than Kenna, and they still could have had their precious love triangle with Clare. I probably still would have preferred Klare but I don’t think KC’s character would have been dragged down so much if he’d dated Alli instead of Jenna.

Clare/Jenna:

Makes sense/compels me

They made sense at least in season 9 based on some of their interactions and it would have been 1000 times better than Kenna and Eclare

Dallas/Imogen:

Compels me/doesn’t make sense

I think they had a lot of chemistry and I think it would have been interesting to explore their dynamic more, I wish they could have had a short thing at least but realistically I don’t think they’d make much sense especially not long term.

Yael/Baaz:

Makes sense/doesn’t compel me

They would make sense but honestly I’m not super invested in either character so I don’t think I would find them that compelling or interesting. Like I only find Yael’s dynamic with Lola interesting lol but Yaaz definitely would have been better than Yunter

Liberty/Kelly:

Doesnt make sense/doesn’t compel me.

Maybe it’s just cuz I didn’t find the college years that interesting or memorable but I really can’t imagine them together and am not sure if I would find them compelling but I wouldn’t have been opposed to it

JT/Hazel:

Doesn’t make sense/doesn’t compel me.

I may have felt differently if they had ever interacted but I can’t imagine them together.

Marisol/Dave:

Makes sense/compels me.

They would have been cute together.

Esme/Shay:

Compels me/doesn’t make sense:

Their dynamic was compelling even though I really didn’t like Esme picking on Shay for no real reason. Obviously how Shay responded to it was wrong (both the paint and the slut shaming) but Esme started it and it’s like Esme wondered why people didn’t like or accept her maybe that behavior is why? But anyway as compelling as the dynamic was (albeit frustrating) I could never see it happening from either side. I could see Esme with girls for sure though, I just couldn’t picture her having feelings for Shay and definitely couldn’t see Shay having feelings for her

Peter/Owen:

Compels me/doesn’t make sense:

This would have been an entertaining dynamic solely for the fact that both guys are awful the majority of the time, and in similar ways too but with Owen being so blatantly homophobic I could never see it happening unless they decided to write it that he had just had internalized homophobia the whole time. I personally don’t really like it when they try to write that in to stories because it’s like they’re trying to justify all the horrible shit a character did (like think Monty in 13RW) but it would have at least been more interesting than what they did with Owen instead which was pretty much nothing. And it could have made Peter more interesting. Like he was way more interesting and likable with Riley tor example (another ship that was supposed to happen allegedly) and I say it as someone who did like Parcy (not as much as I used to though) but at least he never screwed Riley over or did anything awful to him like he did to others. I’m rambling now sorry lol

alright im caving and combining my two current obsessions THATS RIGHT its a ronance shadowhunters au

disclaimer cassandra clare is weird as hell i just like her worldbuilding <3

hear me out…. shadowhunter!nancy x warlock!robin… i think it’s real idk….

explanation section for those who haven’t read these books: shadowhunters have angel blood and are sworn to protect humanity from demons. (magical cops) they’re stronger, faster, have more endurance than normal, and can use runes to enhance their capabilities. they look like sick ass tattoos.

downworlders are all other magical beings (other than demons): vampires, werewolves, faeries, and warlocks.

warlocks are the offspring of demons and humans, they can use magic to do a LOT of stuff, they’re immortal (stop aging in their early 20s) and all of them have a sort of demon’s mark.

and since i want this nancy to be half-faerie: faeries are the offspring of demons and angels, they have wild magic and are typically beautiful and mischievous. full-blooded faeries can’t lie. faeries are weak to cold iron. faeries are basically immortal as they hardly age once they reach maturity.

in all cases shadowhunter blood is dominant

imagine: ted wheeler is actually interesting here. on a mission in faerie he gets just a little bit tipsy on faerie drinks (makes u a little crazy) and he ends up sleeping with a faerie😳 and he’s like “damn wild night” and thinks nothing of it until 9 months later BAM there’s a baby on his doorstep and he’s like “oh what the fuck”

i couldnt decide if i wanted this au to be pro karen or anti karen so i decided it’d be a mix of both, with karen at first being appalled at the situation and refusing nancy and slowly learning to love and care for her as she watched her grow. i think karen will always have a level of prejudice against nancy, so nancy has always felt she needs to be perfect to earn her approval and love. (lesbianism allegory mayhaps🤨)

took it upon myself to decide that robin’s father would be the demon, a typical incubus who preyed on her wild and free, unpredictable mother and left her with a kid she had no idea how to deal with. robin’s demon mark is her horns, which resemble massive antlers of either a deer or an elk, but are tiny when she’s little, easy to hide with hats. i think robin’s mother will have the same flaws she does in rebel robin, loving but flighty and weird, being both unconventional and judgmental. she accepts robin for who she is but is always stepping on wires trying to make her feel better.

as they grow they both deal with their own struggles. nancy is an excellent shadowhunter, easily one of the best of her generation, but she’s often shunned for being half-fae and feels the need to prove herself at every turn. she’s a lot more tolerant than most shadowhunters and because of this she’s taken on being an advocate for downworlders in sticky situations, being the head of investigations involving downworlders to make sure no one gets unfairly blamed for things they haven’t done.

im thinking this is where robin and nancy meet, with robin being framed for casting an illegal spell she’d never cast otherwise and nancy working to prove her innocence. at first nancy is wildly annoyed with robin who asks her all sorts of questions about her pointed ears and the shocks of white blonde streaks through her wildly curly brown hair and constantly questions why she’s doing what she’s doing, but she quickly warms up to robin when she realizes how brilliant and genuinely earnest she is, so unafraid to tell the truth and be an advocate, even it it’d bite her in the ass.

robin, despite having an unremarkable demon parent, is actually pretty powerful. she’s a really good ally to have, especially when you’re nancy wheeler and get stabbed a LOT, robin is there to help <3

robin is pretty much enamored with nancy immediately, only set off by the fact that she’s a shadowhunter and tbh fuck shadowhunters they suck so hard so often (here’s where the prissy thing comes in), but nancy is so smart and talented and really good at fighting. she’s reckless, and pretty, and her unnaturally blue eyes hold so much determination and will to survive and to be seen.

tldr they fall in love really hard!! and bc cassandra clare was like “yasss racism allegory” this does not go over well with anyone bc omg a shadowhunter and downworlder… KISSING??? IN LOVE??? taboo and wrong (and they also hate gay people on top of that these guys suck man)

and a lot of shadowhunters take it as a “i knew she was evil!” about nancy but robin helps her realize that shadowhunter approval is actually so dumb and she’s open about it!

lmk if u guys r interested in more! ik it can be kind of hard bc idk what lore i didn’t fill u guys in on so please feel free to ask any questions bc i could talk abt this series for hours

#stranger things #nancy wheeler #robin buckley #ronance #gonna be simple w this one #shadowhunters au #tsc

@writingxthexsilence continued from X

The endless wait was feasting on his thin nerves. Jace’s forced himself to stay calm, collected, not making any wrong moves that could make this situation any worse than it already is,. But could it really be any worse? Helplessness, confusion and not knowing what was going on did not suit well the man with devil’s tattoo under that fine suit he borrowed. One that belonged to the lawyer that was giving everything in his power to gain some information about his clients, that were no where to be seen.

Jace glared at the over-payed man as George’s nervous state doubled, making him turn and changing his approach to the agent behind the counter to a bit harsher, threatening him with legal actions that will follow if they don’t present them with his clients this instant. But with no effect.

Jace walked down the hall as far as the prying eyes of the detectives around him allowed. He felt like a sheep among the wolves. Not weak, but almost sniffed out and served to be devoured for his crimes. Blond man could not allow that to get to him, but his gut already felt like filled with led. For the last half an hour the climbing anxiety only grew like the weeds in the garden, destroying the calm state mercilessly. Palms were getting sweaty, thoughts laced with panic he could not call his own, as he just have told a lie and prayed like fanatic between the church’s pews for forgiveness.

His feet stopped collecting steps as he pushed his hand in his pocket, dialing a number he tried not to before. No overthinking stopped him now, as busy fingers started to write up a text.

‘Hay, everything fine at your end? My ‘flu’ is acting up, and was wondering are you suffering the same symptoms.’

Innocent enough to escape any unwanted scan of the government radar. Jace hit the send button and shoved the phone back in his pocket, deciding against the idea of asking Emily about her brother’s job. They have just met, no matter the odd things happening, the woman owed Jace and Clare nothing, why would she risk herself and her brother’s safety to help a criminal and...well, by the looks of it, another freshly created criminal. Jace was running out of time. Last desperate look towards the seemingly useless lawyer, before the ground under him started shaking.

“What the fuck..”

No time was granted to him to even realize what was happening, nor to the others around him, when the main gate exploded with a thunderous sound. Glass shattered everywhere, pieces managing to cut into the unlucky ones standing near the door, wall collapsing like it was made of legos not firm brick. Jace’s body was blown away as if he weighed nothing at all, crashing him on some agent standing near him.

Panic, yells, screams spread like wildfire through the space, as guns started rising to the cloud of dust. Jace jumped on his feet, searching for the gun hidden in his shirt...well..that was there usually, before he had to leave it behind to get the clearing to enter this damn place, that was now a battle ground.He could not even see the figure behind the waves of dust still rising, only a sooty silhouette...but whatever it was, it was not human. Or at least, not any more. The things that rushed from the mist of dust were something resembling Clare’s abilities, something not part of her but obeying her commands. Rain of bullets started towards the infected one, as Jace ducked down.

This was not his first rodeo, far from his first messy situation with bullets flying left to right, as he saw this life-threatening occurrence as an opening to get to Clare. He rushed towards the hallways he remembered the interrogations was held, being there for one himself back at the day. People around him didn’t even notice him, as all either tried to get out or join the shooting spree at the creature that attacked.

* * *

Darkness was supposed to be her ally. It always was, from the young age, in so many ways. Finally having the dreams turn to reality and the magical stories actually being true, drove her to grasp her inner strength by its tail, pulling it to the front lines of this event. The man’s physical strength was bigger than hers, and there was no surprise in that. He was a large man, a trained one to subdue the ‘guilty’ ones, the ‘dangerous.’ However, he was only a human. Or at least she thought so.His hissing to her ear made the splinters of her wrath to sink in to the only remaining control, as she was being swallowed into the jaws of unexplained pain caused by the mystery scar on her chest.Damn shadows swimming around him like sharks, but no bite.

Clare’s veins popped out on her neck as she screamed her orders inside of herself, but they kept whispering in a still not familiar language and do nothing but climb on him, causing no damage. He took the advantage quickly enough, since the next thing she knew, she was losing ground under her feet, being thrown from his chest to the wall. She closed her eyes and awaited in that fatal second to hear her bones breaking, spine cracking and pain shooting through the barely any remaining non-hurting parts. But it never happened. The wall cracked as glass behind her, but not a scratch on her, not one sting...as if she just fell on the softest mattress.

Confusion made her feel like a cornered animal, haunted down and losing the options where to escape or what to do. However, escaping was the last thing on her mind when she saw the man’s wide frame hovering above her. Something in the redhead cracked, making the coffin of her terrors to surface. It was only once that she was cornered in her past,one period, when she was indeed helpless to anything about it. Never again, that is what she promised herself.

From the moment she left the house of horrors where her mother remained as her torturer, no one ever managed to lay a hand on her. And this man now presented the rage that was directed at her. His words rang in her ear. Mixing Lucian’s name in the already destructive hurricane of her emotions was the absolute hazardous move. Scenes of his doings and little games destroying her mind further banging at her sanity.But in the moment when his fist landed next to her head and almost made the wall crumble down, the last string was cut, and her eyes darkened. Clare snapped. He was infected as well. Search and destroy, only things left echoing through her mind. Sanity shutting down, mercy disappearing, as she could taste his desire to crush her down.

“ No need to tell you, I’LL SHOW YOU!”

She screamed at the man, as all the darkness swirling around them rushed towards him, devouring every bit of his body. The whispers turned into shrieking that only she could hear, as the shadows swallowed the flesh and depraving it from light, but the body was intact. Clare’s rage blinding her. They refused to listen,,,they are again refusing to listen! She grabbed the man by the jaw, pulling it down as hard as she could just so he opens his mouth for a brief second that she needed, so the sooty thing can slip in. But it didn’t, it traveled around his lips quickly as its master growled in pure fury.

“YOU WILL OBEY ME!!”

The order this time did not came from within, but yet was screamed out loud. Clare took Lucian’s advice, unleashing the shadows to eat as they please, but not even a nibble. The dark things quivered, hesitating, hissing, as her eyes went dark.

“ I AM ORDERING YOU!!END HIM!!”

There was nothing left in her but the hate for the insolence of the things that she adored, the things people hated, the dark...she cradled the shadows like she would her own child, and now, they were turning against her...against themselves. Refusing to hurt a man that was about to finish her and with her, them. The loathing of this level managed to poison the powers in that moment, as one shadow tore itself form the rest that did not want to attack their own, no matter did their master know it or not, and ‘bit’ the flesh of his lip. It would slip to his throat and stay there until he chokes, but hard push on its master and the lost of the focus was enough for the rest of the shadows to devour back the piece that lost it course.

Clare’s lip opened in the same time Oscar’s did, blood coloring her shirt as the drops fell. Her body was slammed back to the wall but this time, she felt the hit all the way.

“STOP! CLARE STOP!!”

The voice of her friend did not manage to snap her from the fog of rage, as she returned her killer glare to the man bathing in shadows. Her busted lip like a mirror image of his, reaching above the peak of her confusion, as she tried to push Jace away, going back on Oscar.

“Stop Clare, let him go!!”

He yelled his pleads, once again petrified with the abilities his friend possessed. Jace saw what she could do, but he never got used to the sight, and it was never as bad as this one. Fear rushing through his veins as he watched her empty glare. It was cold, heartless,..almost souless. Jace was horrified, but not because of the man almost being crushed by the untouchable forces, but before he saw his friend being one breath away from losing herself to the madness from which there was no return.

Jace’s heart skipped beats, as he had a few seconds, no, not even that, he needed to act this instant if he wanted to save his friend from the point of no return. Jace turned swiftly, jumping on the man that had snakes of darkness covering his entire being. The same moment as his hand reached for the man, the darkness spread like wildfire to him, eating his body away. But unlike Oscar, the cuts started lining up on his arms, as the scarlet bloomed on the white surface of his shirt. Jace roared but did not let go, grabbing the man harder with all his might, as the shadows spread faster along his torso. He roared in pain as if he was drag down the road filled with thorns that tore his skin.

Only when the roar of agony coming from her friend filled the room did Clare managed to open her eyes fully. Image of Jace almost being completely devoured by her darkness made the air from her lungs to disappear, heart almost stopping, while she witnessed the malice of her powers.

“STOP!”

Yelling in sheer horror, Clare’s order worked instantly unlike her previous ones, as the shapes of black evaporated in the thin air. Bloodied man remained holding the intact one, and before she could step forward, Jace moved, grabbing the gun strapped at the agent’s belt. Turning , he pushed Clare behind his back in the protective stand.

“We need to go, now.”

Shaken, he uttered as he tried to remain on his two feet. Cuts burning on his body but he did not give in. He gazed at the agent that had only one scratch on him, one on his lip. Jace stared in shock. Everything was overwhelming, he could not think straight nor did he know where to start. He only knew he needs to get his friend out....but this man saw her. He saw what she is. Jace swallowed, rising the gun, but before he pointed it towards him, in the corner of his eye he noticed Clare’s face. The cut on her lip. It would be a complete other concern if the cut wasn’t the exact replica on the one the man had...even more so...he would maybe oversee that too if he just didn’t stare at the man that was completely intact by her shadows, while he was cut as if someone whipped his flesh for hours.

“What is going on..”

degrassi for the tv show ask 🥰 and if you want since it's not on the list - game of thrones? (although sansa is ofc the only character that counts 😇)

Yay thank you! I'll do both but it's gonna be so uneven lol. Like there's a million Degrassi things worth mentioning and also my GOT knowledge is so fuzzy so... not gonna be much there lmao. But whatever Degrassi is the superior show anyway, duh

Degrassi -

favorite male character: Jay, Tristan, Eli, Miles, Marco, Zig, Jimmy, Drew, Tiny, Connor, Dallas... So many (mostly) good boys

favorite female character: Manny, Alli, Alex, Bianca, Clare for the drama lol, Maya, Fiona, Imogen, Zoe, Jenna, Holly J, Jane, Liberty... That's enough lol

favorite episode: Again I just binge this show so much that it all runs together and I don't really remember episode titles lol. For some serious episodes, Rick shooting up the school, and then the one dealing with the aftermath of Cam's suicide. For some fun ones, Degrassi Goes Hollywood (mainly the Manny plot) (even tho that also makes me cry), the bottle ep that's an homage to the Breakfast Club, and the Vegas Night ep is ridiculously iconic

THE MEETING OF ABRAHAM AND MELCHIZEDEK

Sir Peter Paul Rubens

Around 1625, Peter Paul Rubens received an important commission from the Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia, Governess of the Southern Netherlands (1566–1633) to design a tapestry series of The Triumph of the Eucharist for the royal convent of the Poor Clare’s in Madrid. The tapestries were to be hung during the feast days of Good Friday and Corpus Christi, which celebrate Christ’s presence in the Eucharist. The subject had profound meaning for the Poor Clare’s, who were particularly devoted to the Eucharist—the bread and wine of the Mass that Catholics believe miraculously transubstantiates into the body and blood of Christ when consecrated by a priest. Rubens focused on Old Testament prefiguration’s of the Eucharist and allegorical subjects symbolizing triumph of the Catholic Church over the forces of evil and heresy.

The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek is a highly finished morello, or sketch, for one of the Old Testament prefiguration’s of the Eucharist. This story from Genesis tells of the gifts of bread and wine that Abraham received from the Priest-King of Salem, Melchizedek, after returning from a victorious battle (Gen. 14: 17-20). Catholic theologians viewed Melchizedek’s offering of bread and wine as a prefiguration of the Last Supper, and even saw Melchizedek, whose name means “king of Justice,” as a prefiguration of Christ. In Rubens’s vivid portrayal, the scene unfolds on an illusionistically painted tapestry held aloft by putti before an architectural framework. Abraham, in armor standing at the head of his band of soldiers, appears in the center, gratefully receiving loaves of bread from Melchizedek. As the two men lean toward one another, they lock eyes as though they have a premonition, unshared by the others, that the bread and wine have significance beyond bodily sustenance.

Rubens reinforced the momentousness of the encounter not only through compositional devices, but also through his exuberant style. His vivid colors, rich textures, and expressive brush imbue the scene with a feeling of grandeur. In this way Rubens both signals the importance of the prefigured Eucharist in the Old Testament and suggests its continued centrality to the Catholic Faith in his own time.

Society Composition and Dimensions:

The picture is an oil on panel from 1626. Its overall dimensions are around 65.5 x 82.4 cm (25 13/16 x 32 7/16 inches), and when framed, it measures about 96.8 x 113.4 cm (38 1/8 x 44 5/8 inches). The image depicts a scenario from Genesis 14:17-20. Abraham, the biblical patriarch, has emerged triumphant from the battlefield. He meets Melchizedek, the Priest-King of Salem, who offers him bread and drink. According to Catholic theology, Melchizedek's contribution foreshadowed the Last Supper and even linked him to Christ. The painting takes place before an illusionistic ally designed tapestry held aloft by putti (cherubic figures).

Abraham, clothed in armor, stands at the head of his warriors, centered. He joyfully accepts loaves of bread from Melchizedek, who stands opposite him. Their gazes meet, implying that the bread and wine are more than just food. The architectural structure offers depth and context. Rubens uses a vibrant color pallet to convey grandeur and importance. The rich textures and expressive brushwork add to the scene's vitality. The warm tones emphasize the spiritual link between the figures. The composition is well-balanced, with Abraham and Melchizedek creating a prominent axis. The tapestry, carried by putti, conveys a feeling of height and movement. Architectural components ensure stability and symmetry.

Rubens accomplishes unity by arranging individuals and objects in a harmonic pattern.

Emphasis and Variety:

The interchange of bread and wine represents the Eucharist. The focus is directed to Abraham's thankful look and Melchizedek's royal gesture. Textures, hues, and emotions vary, which adds to visual interest. In conclusion, The Meeting of Abraham and Melchizedek expertly depicts a watershed period in biblical history, combining religious symbolism with Rubens' vibrant style.

How does the work make you feel?

The paint impact me because it refers of a Bible passage that I have read these verses in Genesis when Abraham met Melchizedek who is considered a prefiguration of Jesus in the last supper, and Abraham was blessed by Melchizedek (Priest king of Salem) who is considered a pre-configuration of Jesus.

How or why does it evoke these feelings?

Because I am Christhian, and this is one of my favorite’s chapters in the Bible.

What movement is the artwork associated with?

Is associated with the traditions of the Italian renaissance to produce a powerful style. It was commission by Infanta Isabel Clara Eugenia Governess of the Southern Netherlands (1566–1633).

This is not a portrait; the author tries to make this paint look like a tapestry.

What does the artwork say about the artist that made it?

The author was a profound Christian Catholic who was devoted to paint this kind of themes.

Can you tell what the artist was trying to say?

The artist was trying to describe the passage of Melchizedek and Abraham in the book of Genesis.

How clearly does the artist get their message across?

It is very graphic and clear showing the soldiers, (according to the Passage Abraham just came back from the Battlefield), bread, wine that are described in this Bible passage.

I pick this paint because I think is very important to know that everything in this art it is so real for me in my Christian life, and also that is part of the Bible that is the book that guide my Christian faith, the meeting of Melchizedek and Abraham it is fundamental for us, Christians, Abraham is well known as “The father of the faith” and this is one of the acts that prove it.

Alex Recommends: May Books

I have had a very busy month and my head is so full of all the things that I am trying to juggle at the moment. However, not all of it has been a struggle and I’ve definitely made some really lovely memories with my favourite people too.

I have recently started volunteering at my local library. I’m learning so much and I know that there is still so much more that I don’t know. I am considering librarianship as my next career move, so anything I can take in will surely put me in good stead for that. It is very different to anything I’ve done before though, so naturally I’m a bit anxious about it!

Of course, all this has forced me to think about the future a lot, which isn’t always great for my mental health. I’ve not felt fully in control of my destiny recently, which is a huge trigger for a spiral. I’m lucky that I have such a supportive partner with me most of the time and once again, I’m not sure where I’d be without him. Mark has been treating me to fun days out and checking in with how I am and I can’t explain how grateful I am to have that.

I have been reading a lot of amazing books that I’m sharing with you right here. I have no doubt that you’ll love this selection because it’s a particularly good one, if I do say so myself! Fantastic characters, hopeful storylines and very immersive writing will have you flying through these. Enjoy!

-Love, Alex x

FICTION: The People on Platform 5 by Clare Pooley.

Eccentric and colourful, Iona Iverson has been a magazine therapist at Modern Woman for decades. She takes the same train from Hampton Court to Waterloo and sees the same people every day. However, London train etiquette dictates that no one interacts with each other. Until one day when Smart-But-Sexist-Manspreader chokes on a grape and it’s up to Iona and her fellow passengers to save him. From then on, connections are formed and it turns out that they could be exactly what each other needs. This uplifting story of unlikely friendships and the importance of community gave me all the fuzzies! With plenty of warm humour and some truly loveable characters, The People on Platform 5 is a lesson to us all -always look beyond the surface because everyone is fighting a secret battle that can be won with kindness and empathy. A real celebration of underdogs!

NON-FICTION: The Book of Non-Binary Joy by Ben Pechey.

No matter where you are in your gender exploration journey, Ben Pechey aims to guide you through the highs and lows of finding your true, fabulous self. Full of personal insight, thoughts from other LGBTQ+ voices and fun activities, The Book of Non-Binary Joy explores fashion, mental health, ally privilege, understanding yourself and more. Funny and educational with charming illustrations of non-binary people, this wonderfully thoughtful manual offers a thorough exploration of what it means to be non-binary and the many forms that can take as well as excellent resources. Pechey has such a warm, friendly voice and their character shines through the pages!

MIDDLE-GRADE: The Wondrous Prune by Ellie Clements.

Following a bereavement, Prune and her family move into her late grandmother’s house in a new town. Her mother works long hours and her brother seems to be preoccupied, so Prune doesn’t feel she can tell anyone that she’s being bullied at her new school. She keeps seeing colourful clouds too and even weirder -her drawings are coming to life! But when her brother falls into a spot of trouble, Prune realises that her new strange power could be the key to bringing her family back together. The Wondrous Prune is a beautiful story of siblingship and the real power of imagination. Prune is a very loveable heroine and there is some gorgeous imagery, as Prune’s art materialises. There was one part where I couldn’t stop the tears from escaping too but overall, it is full of hope and wonder.

FANTASY: Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor.

The Hotel Magnifique is known for travelling and appearing in a different town every morning. Jani feels stuck in a dead-end job, taking care of her talented younger sister Zosa but then Hotel Magnifique arrives. Securing jobs as staff, the sisters are sucked into a whirlwind adventure and the sinister truth at the dark heart of the hotel. I loved the bond between Jani and Zosa and never had any doubt that they’d make it through the very dark plot that was laid out for them. There is some stunning, magical imagery in this Night Circus-esque world and a slow-burn romance that I thoroughly enjoyed. Hotel Magnifique definitely isn’t just a pretty cover!

HISTORICAL FICTION: Elektra by Jennifer Saint.

The House of Atreus’ bloodline is cursed by violence and revenge. Clytemnestra, the wife of Agamemnon and sister of Helen, who is taken to Troy by Paris. Cassandra, cursed to tell the truth but to never be believed, powerless to stop the horror of the future. Elektra, daughter of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon, hell-bent on avenging her tyrant father while avoiding the curse herself. I was completely immersed in Jennifer Saint’s intricate world-building and simply couldn’t stop reading. Full of darkness and gore, Elektra is packed with complex and fascinating characters caught up in blind loyalty, the underestimation of women and the tragic scars of war. A highly compelling, extremely powerful tale.

Hvítr gown, nýr life (Ubbe x Reader)

This is my contribution to @geekandbooknerd 2k followers challenge! Congrats again, my dear!

My prompt was: "People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters." - Cassandra Clare, City of Glass.

Couple notes for this fic- Bjorn & Torvi are still together because reasons. Italics mean speakers are using Old Norse.

The title means ‘White Gown, New Life’ in Old Norse.

Also, this is my first time writing Ubbe so.... hopefully its not OOC?

Words: 4800

Warnings: one or two swear words. implied sex. I think that’s it???

Tag List: @youbloodymadgenius

"You cannot truly be considering this!" Bjorn thundered in the small, enclosed room.

Ubbe observed his elder brother- a man he had aspired to be like his whole childhood, a man he still looked up too, regardless of his faults. "Of course I am."

Bjorn slammed his hand on the wooden table, making it shake, as his voice shook like thunder in the room. "You are throwing your future away!"

"I am protecting our future!" Ubbe snapped, finally rising to his feet, irritation leaking into his tone. He met Bjorn's incensed blue eyes with his own resolute gaze. "We need allies, alliances, everything to make father's dream come true. If this is the price I must pay to fulfill Ragnar's dream, then I will gladly do it. It is not about me. It's for our people."

After a long, tense moment, Lagertha pushed off the wall she and Torvi were leaning against. Gliding closer, she moved to stand in front of Ubbe, tears swimming in her eyes. Gently, she cupped his cheeks. "Your father would be so proud of you, Ubbe. I pray the gods bless you with happiness in this."

"Thank you, Lagertha." Relief swelled in Ubbe's chest. If he had Lagertha's support, he knew Bjorn would come around.

Since they fled Kattegat and came to England, he had watched the shieldmaiden age before his eyes. He could not help but wonder if her soul yearned for Valhalla and to be reunited with Ragnar. Not that he could blame her. To hear her speak of Ragnar and his approval of Ubbe's actions, it only further solidified his choice.

Torvi spoke up, surprising him. "I think Ubbe should do it." When Bjorn opened his mouth to interject, she snapped her gaze over to her husband. "This is his decision, Ubbe. He has asked for our advice but it is up to him. We need security and this, though we don't trust them, this can provide that security."

Bjorn huffed, crossing his arms over his chest. "Fine! Do what you want!"

"Thank you." Ubbe softly said, looking at all the family he had left in this world. "I'll go inform King Alfred now."

With a firm stride, he left the quarters they had been given in Wessex. After some time trying to locate the young king, a passing servant was able to tell him Alfred's location. Thankfully the king was in his private study, reviewing petitions from the worker's guild. The guards at the door allowed Ubbe entrance only after the king called out to allow him entrance. With a look of unrestrained animosity, almost begging him to give them a reason to throw him out, the guards opened the door for him to pass. Ubbe nodded his thanks, but never removed his hand from the sword at his side until the door closed behind him.

Straightening in his chair, Alfred looked up from the papers spread out over his desk. "Good afternoon, Ubbe. I suspect you have sought me out because you have an answer for my proposition."

"I do, your highness." Ubbe paused, knowing how his life was going to irrevocably change once he answered. "And I will accept. I will take a Saxon wife to further the alliance between us."

"I am greatly pleased by your decision." The dark-haired man pushed away from his desk. He moved to a nearby table to pour them both a cup of wine, something these Saxons seemed to favor, as he continued speaking. "Alliances must be built on trust and understanding. A political marriage certainly helps solidify that trust."

Ubbe received the cup, missing the taste of ale from his homeland. After taking a small sip, he stared at Alfred. "So what do we do now? Do I meet some potentials or is there a matchmaker?"

"No, I already have someone picked out for you. My cousin." Alfred answered without hesitation before pausing in contemplation. "What your father and my grandfather would think of this arrangement….our families tied by blood."

"Yeah…. What is her name?"

"My cousin? Lady Y/N. Fear not, she comes from a well-respected family and with a substantial dowry. She has spent most of her life at a nunnery, so there is no fear of her virtue being tainted."

"Great." Ubbe sighed out. Though he knew Alfred meant all that to be reassuring….it felt anything but.

*****

It was not until almost a month later, Ubbe met his intended bride; with the wedding set for three days after her arrival. Apparently King Alfred and some of the Saxon noblemen were keen on the arranged marriage happening as soon as possible.

Ubbe stood off to the side in the throne room. With his hair freshly braided and pulled back and wearing one of his nicer tunics, he hoped he appeared princely. Even if by Saxon standards, he knew he fell woefully short. Lagertha had given him a nod of approval as they waited in the throne room. Though outwardly he kept his face passive and calm, his insides twisted into knots and his hands were clammy.

"Are you still certain about this, brother?" Bjorn clapped Ubbe on the shoulder as he whispered, eyeing the Saxons standing around.

The flaxen-haired Viking glanced over at King Alfred, who sat on his throne, talking in hushed tones to one of his advisors while his mother looked on with a sour expression.

Ubbe answered solemnly. "Aye, we need this alliance."

With a grunt, Bjorn removed his hand but stayed at his brother's side. Something Ubbe appreciated. Although Bjorn had no issue airing his thoughts on this foolish alliance and how Ubbe was making a mistake in regards to choosing a wife again, he kept his complaints behind closed doors. In front of the Saxons, they presented an united front.

The large doors to the throne room opened with a groan. All eyes turned to witness as a sole figure cautiously yet gracefully walked forward, head held high and hands clasped in front of her.

"Cousin!" King Alfred exclaimed, rising from his throne, arms spread wide. Immediately, he descended the few stairs with a fond smile on his face. "Your presence has been missed here at court."

The woman dipped into an elegant curtsey, her dress gliding around her like water. "You are far too kind, my king."

As King Alfred embraced his cousin in a warm hug, Ubbe could only stare in shock. Standing there in a deep red gown, the woman looked like a goddess. Ubbe had prepared himself mentally for his intended bride to be marginally pretty like most of these Saxon women, but someone he easily overlooked. Not her though. Without even saying a word to him, he felt beguiled by her. It was more than just her physical beauty, it was in the way she carried herself, with grace and a nobility. It reminded him distantly of his mother. A woman who knew her place and dignity. This woman, his intended bride, was truly stunning. He could not help but wonder if the true reason for her prolonged residence at a nunnery was not because of piety but to preserve and protect her. Something he was suddenly immensely grateful for.

"This is your betrothed." Alfred walked her over to where the Vikings stood, at the bottom of the steps leading to his throne. With a pleased smile on his face, he introduced the two. "Ubbe, son of Ragnar Lothbrok, this is my cousin, Lady Y/N."

She curtsied to him, her movements so graceful like they were part of a dance. When she spoke, he was further enchanted, for even her voice was beautiful. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Ubbe."

"It's just Ubbe. Since we are to be married, we can skip the formalities."

A coy smile played on her lips. "As you wish….Ubbe."

"Excellent." King Alfred beamed. "Perhaps a walk in the gardens to better acquaint yourselves would be desirable?"

Before Ubbe could whole-heartedly agree, wishing to learn more about his intended bride, a sickly-sweet voice interrupted.

"Y/N has only just arrived. We have wedding plans to finalize and she must try on her dress." Princess Judith interrupted, wrapping an arm through her niece's while pointedly ignoring the Vikings. "Maybe another time, but I am sure y/n will be quite busy with preparations. Come, my dear."

With that, she swept her niece out of the throne room as if the Vikings had the plague and she refused to breathe the same air as them. But before y/n disappeared, she peeked over her shoulder and met Ubbe's gaze with a tender smile teasing her lips, then disappeared from view.

"There is much to finalize and my mother wants to ensure the wedding will go smoothly. You and y/n will have time after the wedding to become acquainted." Alfred said, studying the direction his mother and cousin vanished. With a sigh, he pulled his gaze back to Ubbe. "Now that introductions are made, I have matters with the clergy to attend to."

Ubbe barely paid attention when Alfred walked away, returning to his throne and listening to some priests whine about something petty.

A bump of a shoulder against his own drew Ubbe's attention back from thinking about y/n.

Bjorn leaned over to whisper conspiracingly in his ear. "Well, at least you won't have a problem bedding her."

*****

The wedding ceremony was outlandish and dragged on for entirely too long. Between the many prayers of the priests and the rigid formality of everything, Ubbe was ready to draw his sword and spill some Christian blood, just to break up the monotony. Even Lagertha appeared ready to fall asleep from where she stood.

The only aspect that kept his attention was his bride. Watching her walk down the aisle, he almost swallowed his tongue, leaving him gaping at her in a slack-jawed awe as she slowly approached. In her flowing wedding dress, a crown of flowers in her hair and eyes alight, she appeared ethereal. Standing in his nicest tunic and pants, he knew he paled in comparison to her, but he did not mind.

When the priests tried to forcefully convince Ubbe to dress in Saxon clothing for the wedding, he not-so-subtly threatened to decapitate them if they mentioned it once more. He was a Viking and would dress as such. Besides this was to be a physical representation of an alliance between Saxon and Viking, it would make no sense for him to dress as a Saxon.

Thankfully Alfred agreed with his thoughts, so the clergy kept any further comments to themselves.

Once the wedding concluded with Ubbe and y/n proclaimed man and wife, the couple was escorted to the celebration. The following feast was beyond lavish, with drink and food in overflowing abundance. To his dismay, Ubbe found himself unable to converse with his new bride. Either Alfred was introducing him to someone new, some nobleman pestered him with questions or worst of all, Judith purposefully continued to make excuses that pulled y/n away. When their eyes met, he could see the apology in them, which lightened the stone in his heart.

As the feast progressed, Ubbe found as more time passed, the more his gaze drifted to his bride. The gods had truly blessed him with this marriage. Watching her, he was captivated. Although, he found his hand frequently shifting to reach for the hilt of his sword no longer strapped to his side. All the appreciative or lustful looks she received from other men did not go unnoticed, and if one of them tried to lay a hand on his new wife, he would not be held accountable for his actions. His fists could be just as deadly as any weapon.

Finally, the time was called for the bedding ceremony.

Alfred and some of the clergy explained to Ubbe what happened during a bedding ceremony when he was learning about the wedding's customs and the vows he would have to recite. To say the Ragnarsson was shocked was an understatement. It sounded barbaric…. and him and his people were called the heathens. But he understood the need to maintain protocol for building the alliance and the trust of the Saxons.

So that was how he found himself walking down a corridor with Bjorn at his side, while the feast and celebrations continued on without him.

"Are you sure about this?"

Ubbe rolled his eyes at his elder brother, his stride never faltering. "You did not have to agree to it."

Bjorn scoffed, keeping pace. "And miss out on all the fun?"

The two brothers laughed, the sound loosening some of the tension in the bridegroom's body. When Alfred told Ubbe he needed a witness to represent his people at the bedding ceremony, Bjorn was the only option. When Ubbe initially told his brother about the tradition and asked for Bjorn's presence, the hulking Viking had doubled-over in laughter, followed by making several crude comments about the need to instruct Ubbe on how to properly bed a woman. The discussion ended in a brotherly tussel but Bjorn agreed.

Especially when Ubbe explained his plan.

The bedroom was in the wing of the royal families' rooms. Since y/n was related by blood, she was given a room there whenever she came to visit and naturally, this meant it was where the marriage would be consummated. Several candles were lit but the bedroom was kept dim to give an illusion of privacy. A quick glance at the bed made Ubbe raise an eyebrow at the generous size and the curtains draped around it. A fire burned in the fireplace providing warmth in the bedroom, a sharp contrast to the stern, cold faces of the clergy who waited.

The bishop who married them stood off to the side with two other clergy, all in their robes and barely suppressed looks of disgust on the priests' faces. Two female attendees fussed over y/n, clearly everyone waiting for Ubbe and Bjorn. Once again, Ubbe had to force himself to keep his eyes from staying glued to his new wife. She stood there in a thick robe, with her hair falling about her shoulders loosely, free from the bridal veil. Her gaze jumped from Ubbe to the clergy and back as she nibbled on her bottom lip, clearly nervous about what was to occur next. Cheekily, he sent her a quick wink, hoping that would help settle her nerves. If the blush that grew on her cheeks said anything, at least she was not repulsed by him.

The bishop stepped forward. "Are you prepared to consummate your marriage to Lady Y/N before God and man?"

"I am." Ubbe defiantly met the man's eyes.

"Then by the power given to me by the Holy Church, let the two become one in the sight of God and these witnesses and the marriage shall be complete." With that, the man drew their strange cross sign in the air and stepped back to rejoin his fellow clergy.

The two attendees helped y/n out of her heavy robe, revealing a thin, white nightgown that seemed to only enhance her beauty and innocence. Desire thrummed in his blood at the sight of her, but Ubbe ignored the sensation for the moment. The heavy robe was laid on a nearby chair and the two women left the room with a quick curtsy, leaving only the men and y/n.

After a shared look with Bjorn, Ubbe walked over to his new bride, keeping his movements slow so as to not startle her. Her hands were clasped before her, but even as he approached, he could see the faint tremble in them. Her gaze never strayed from the floor. The confidence seen previously in her seemed to have melted away into anxiety, making him think of a skittish colt. He could not help but wonder what changed, if it was due to him or what was supposed to occur between them.

Standing before her, he gently reached out to take her soft hands in his own larger, calloused ones, pleased when she did not flinch at his touch. Although her gaze remained downward.

"Are you alright?" He whispered, aware of the four pairs of eyes watching their every move.

"Of….of course, my lord husband."

"Remember, I told you to call me by my name."

That caused her head to snap up and meet his gaze. Now he could see the tears welling up in her eyes and her swollen bottom lip from constantly worrying it.

"It'll be alright." He tugged her bottom lip from between her teeth. The way her breath hitched at the intimate touch made his heart pound. He gave her hands in his, a quick squeeze. "Trust me, yeah?"

After a moment, she gave a faint nod, still eyeing him warily but appearing less like she wanted to flee, mutely squeezing his hands back.

A voice broke the stillness in the room, immediately causing her to tense again.

"The two of you must proceed to the bed to finalize the union. We do not have all night to wait for confirmation of her virginity and consummation." One of the priests drawled with an apparent undertone of disdain.

"Then it is a good thing you don't have to wait any longer." Ubbe retorted, narrowing his eyes at the priest. The man huffed but a quiet rebuke from the bishop had the priest pressing his lips together. With one final, assessing scan, the flaxen-haired Viking shifted, pulling his new bride into his side and wrapping an arm around her waist. He felt her tense against him but ignored it to stare at the three clergy with a mocking smirk. "Bjorn."

At the sound of his name, his brother moved from leaning against the doorframe. A scowl on his face, and with the shadows cast over him, made him appear more looming and menacing. "Everybody out."

The three clergy looked back and forth between the two Viking brothers, clearly confused and intimidated.

"You can't….we must witness…."

"I SAID EVERYBODY OUT!" Bjorn roared, pulling the axe from his side and waving it in the air. "OR DO I NEED TO SPLIT YOUR SKULL TO HELP MY WORDS REACH YOUR TINY BRAINS?!"

The three scrambled, eyes wide in terror, tripping over their long robes in a pathetic attempt to reach the door faster. The bishop turned around, hands grasping the golden cross hanging from his neck. "King….King Alfred will hear of this." He stuttered out in feigned confidence.

A deafening war cry from Bjorn practically shook the room in answer. That was enough to silence the bishop and have him flee, following his companions.

At Bjorn's roar, y/n began shaking like a leaf, her hands tightly holding onto Ubbe's arm wrapped around her. He further pulled her against him, providing shelter from his brother's fury. Even as the room fell back into silence, he could still feel her trembling in his arms. He prayed to the gods that this did not darken her view of him and cause her to fear him.

Once the room cleared and the pounding footfalls of the clergy could no longer be heard, Bjorn turned around with a grin, scratching the back of his neck with his axe. "You know Alfred will be upset when he finds out."

Ubbe smirked. "We can't let him have everything he wants, yeah?"

That made Bjorn chuckle. "I'll go guard the door." He pointed his axe at Ubbe, still grinning. "You owe me for this."

"Scaring priests shitless isn't enough for you?"

Bjorn scoffed. "I can do that whenever I like."

"We'll name our firstborn after you."

Bjorn waved him off, opening the wooden door and stepping out. When the door closed, the echoing sound seemed to fill the empty space in the room.

Ubbe peeked down at the woman in his arms. "Are you alright?"

"Your brother….is….frightening."

"Aye, don't tell him that though. It would only inflate his ego more."

Once he was certain she was steady on her feet and would not faint, he pressed a chaste kiss to the side of her head before striding away to the other side of the bedroom. Quickly he pulled off his tunic and boots, tossing them onto a nearby chair and then flopped onto the massive bed in only his pants. If nothing else could be said for tonight, he knew he would sleep well. The bed was comfortable, even rivaling his own bed back in Kattegat. With a pleased groan, he tucked an arm under his head and settled under the covers. A wave of exhaustion crashed over him, his eyelids sliding closed. Even though he felt like he spent most of the day standing around and kneeling for the wedding, it was still tedious and draining. Thank the gods it was over.

"Um, my lord…."

"Ubbe." He interrupted, lips twitching in amusement. "Or husband. Whichever you prefer."

"Ah, Ubbe….are we not….?" Her hesitant voice trailed off, but the unspoken question lingered in the air.

He snorted. "I have no plans to force myself upon you just to appease your priests and bishop."

"But we must consummate the marriage."

"I will only have sex with you if you desire me as your husband and not just to fulfill an obligation."

The following, prolonged silence caused him to open his eyes and look over at his new wife. It was apparent she had not moved from where he left her. He expected to see fear on her lovely face or revulsion at the idea of her ever willingly wanting him to touch her. Instead, she seemed to be studying him with a mixture of curiosity and respect. That confident woman he had previously met, making a reappearance.

After holding her gaze for a moment, he patted the bed next to him. "Come lay down. I doubt standing there all night will be pleasant."

With a soft smile, she stepped over and crawled under the covers, but maintained an arm’s length distance between them. They both laid on their backs, together yet alone. The only sounds were of the crackling fire and their breathing.

Before he realized it, Ubbe found himself speaking, filling the silence with his babbling but strangely felt he needed to share these thoughts with the woman beside him, the woman whose life was now tied to him, whether she wanted it to be or not.

"I doubt this is the marriage you were dreaming of as a little girl. Probably expected some prince or lord….not a Viking. Your people only see us as heathens, as barbaric devils, at least that's what one of the noblemen said. That we cannot stop the evil and destruction we cause because we are possessed." He snorted, rubbing a hand down his face. After a deep breath, he turned his head to look at her, amazed to find her already watching him. His tone softened as he continued. "I'm sorry you were forced into this marriage. I know it might not mean much to you but I vow I won't ever physically harm you or force myself upon you. After all the wedding ceremonies, you can return to the nunnery if that is what you want."

Her eyes widened momentarily, then drifted away as she worried her lip once again. As he waited for her to speak, his gaze traveled over her face, taking in the small details that until now he had not been able to observe. It would be a blatant lie to say he did not desire to lie with her, to touch and taste her. The current state of his manhood was evidence enough of how simply gazing at her beauty affected him. He made a vow to her. If nothing else, he hoped they could be friendly to one another.

To his shock, she rolled onto her side, facing him completely, hands tucked under her cheek. Without hesitation, he mirrored her action, but kept his head cradled on his arm.

"I have not traveled much," she quietly said, almost shyly, "but there is one thing I've learned through my studies and the observation of others. People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but it's the way you live your life that matters." She paused as if choosing her next words carefully. "I do not think you are a barbaric devil or….or possessed. I think…."

"What?"

"I think you are very brave and strong. Not many would seek an alliance with those that fervently claim them as an enemy….nor be kind to a simple noblewoman."

He smirked, finding himself charmed by her honesty. Carefully, he reached over and brushed a thumb over her cheek. "You are no simple noblewoman, my lady."

"If you are just Ubbe, then I request you call me, y/n."

An unexpected, loud banging on the door startled them both. Y/n gasped and rushed to sit up against the headboard, eyes wide with fright. Ubbe immediately pushed himself up, making sure to put himself between his wife and the door, unsheathing a dagger he had subtly slipped under his pillow.

"Are you two done yet? Some ugly priest out here wants to know!" Bjorn shouted through the door.

Ubbe groaned, putting the dagger away, before calling back. "No! This woman is insatiable! Tell the priest to come back in the morning! Hopefully I can still walk!"

A harsh bark of laughter preceded loud arguing, which could be heard through the door. Raised voices crept underneath the door frame, the loudest being that of Bjorn. Ubbe stayed perched on the bed, to assist his brother if the need called for it. No matter what Alfred or those whiny clergy ordered, no one would be witnessing any consummation of his. Ever. Eventually, the voices dwindled like a dying flame until only silence could be heard from outside. Ubbe figured Bjorn must have won the argument, or used enough threats of bodily harm, since no one entered the bedroom.

The dagger returned to its sheath under his pillow. A habit he had since childhood. A glance to his side showed his wife still shifted as far away from the door as possible, hands clutching the sheets in a tight grip. He reached a hand out to her. "It's alright. Bjorn won't let anyone in."

She took his hand, still eyeing the door warily. "What did you say to him?"

"Ah, nothing important. Just to keep the priests away."

"Ok."

"We should go to sleep. Today has been long." He stated after he coaxed her back under the covers and no longer sent glances towards the door. Only after she was settled did he relax. Laying on his back, an arm behind his head, his eyes closed almost instantly. He could hear her shuffling occasionally but he paid it no mind. Sleep slinked into his mind, hovering on the edges.

"Ubbe…." A barely-heard whisper pulled him from the brink of sleep.

"Yes?"

"What if….what if I want to."

"Mmmm?"

"Um, fulfill our marital duties."

Well, that got his attention. He turned his head to the side, noting how her gaze traced over his bare chest slowly then lifted to meet his gaze. "Are you asking me to have sex with you?"

"Yes." She bit her bottom lip, even as her eyes never strayed from him.

"Are you sure?"

She nodded.

"Hmmm….well, I may be convinced but….you have to kiss me first."

Cautiously yet deliberately, she scooted closer until they lay side by side. In a graceful movement, she leaned over and pressed her lips to his in an innocent, chaste kiss. Her lips were softer than even the pillow beneath him and by the gods, she was going to be his undoing. After a moment, she leaned back, gazing down at him with a nervous yet endearing smile. Before he could say anything, to encourage or instruct, her lips descended on his once again, but this time hungrily. His initial surprise transitioned to a carnal satisfaction when a soft moan slipped out of her after he tugged on her bottom lip. Their mouths connected with a needy kiss, sending a jolt of electricity through him. All thoughts of sleep forgotten.

Suddenly, he flipped them over, pinning her underneath him, taking charge of their love-making. She giggled at the abrupt action but that was quickly silenced by his mouth crashing against hers and thrusting his tongue into her mouth.

As she kissed him back passionately, he wondered if maybe this marriage was not such a bad idea. If the way her lips eagerly sought his, her hands gripped onto biceps as if to keep her steady, her back arched as he trailed open-mouth kisses down her neck….maybe the marriage could be more than just political.

Soon enough, all thoughts vanished from his mind that were not related in regards to exploring the exquisite body of his Saxon wife and listening to her moan his name repeatedly.
