Summary: Determined to prove those closest to the crown are responsible for the shrinking coffers in London, Emma brings the evidence she has gathered to Canute’s attention, expecting they both would come together and make a plan.

If I have to choose from those, I pick the latter.

TAG GAME: EIGHT SHOWS TO GET TO KNOW ME
Thank you for tagging me, @emma-ofnormandy!
1. BBC Merlin - This show will always and forever have a special place in my heart. I fangirled over this show so hard, when it was over, I went into a little depression. The characters and story just mean so much to me, I feel nostalgic every time I hear the opening credits. And I always have a pleasant time when I interact with the fandom.
2. Vikings: Valhalla - I originally had no intention of watching this show when it dropped. I had watched the original Vikings series and really enjoyed it, but was in no hurry to watch a spin-off. That is until I saw a gif set of Emma and Canute (yes, you read that right) and the rest is history (quite literally). This show has come to mean so much to me in a short time, not only for my favorite couple, but the other characters grabbed me and didn’t let go as well. Plus, I have gotten to interact with some amazing folks in the fandom, which I am so grateful for :)
3. Doctor Who - Nothing will ever compare to the 10th doctor, my favorite, but this show was a place of escape for me for a long while. My brother and I looked forward to every Saturday when a new episode aired, kept up with it, who was cast next, and cried when David Tennant left. While my interaction with the show has fallen off in recent years (mostly because I don’t like the writing), I will always have fond memories.
4. Downton Abbey - This was just such a comfort show for me and still is! I could say Downton Abbey is probably the reason I got into period dramas, though I loved historical things before this show. Downton Abbey was also about community for me, I loved chatting with friends and older people alike who watched.
5. Marvelous Mrs. Maisel - This show is just so much fun, with a wonderful female character at the center. What more could you ask for? This show is just so bright, entertaining, and the themes and main character are just *chefs kiss* I love Miriam, her quirkiness, tenacity, and drive are just wonderful. I need to catch up on this show now that the new season has dropped!
6. Schitt’s Creek - Back in 2020 when the world was on hold and life felt meaningless, I was really struggling mentally and really needed something to pick me up. I had been wanting to watch Schitt’s Creek for a while, but the time never really felt right, until then. This show became a lifeline for me and a source of so much laughter. I love it. It is one of the greatest things made in my opinion.
7. Daredevil (Netflix) - As a Marvel fan from an early age, I have pretty much consumed all the Marvel media (with the exception of recent releases, I kinda fell off keeping up with everything after Endgame), but this show will always stand out to me as one of the best. I love everything about it.
8. The Walking Dead - I came for the zombies and stayed for the cast of characters. But seriously, I don’t fancy myself a fan of zombie media, and I am pretty sure The Walking Dead was my first interaction with a zombie story. To me this show becomes so much more than that and the actual zombies are like the background. I love the survival aspect the most about this show and all the characters that just grabbed me and stuck with me.

Five things you might find in my fics
I was tagged by @heytheredeann, thanks for tagging me, this was fun
Modern AUs, I love placing characters in a different setting I guess
Bad communication leading to...
Misunderstandings leading to...
Unnecessary angst or drama
A happy ending, I will always have a positive ending in mind when I start with a story, so there's that.

One of a dozen Sealed Territories around the world, Kattegat is assumed to be a dead city almost two decades later.
When a team of scientists plan to breach the wall, Angrboda or Bodi as she is now known, schemes her way into the group with the help of her adopted sister, Sumi, and in order to do so, Bodi must hide her connection to the community. Once there, Kattegat is nothing like she expected.

Five Things You Might Find In My Fics
Thanks for the tag @emma-ofnormandy!! This was really fun to think about.
A sentence containing a list of three things. I do this all the time for emphasis and no, I will not be changing any time soon.
Mutual Pining. So much pining it's a goddamn forest.
Lots of interior dialogue. I can't write without this, honestly. If you're with my characters by god, you're gonna listen to what they say and what they don't.
Random period historical details. If I'm really on my A-game, there will also be notes at the end about why.
A background character you'll end up loving more than the main characters. Apparently I'm chronically incapable of leaving these people out.
Tagging @shoshiwrites @tortoisesshells @ewanmitchellcrumbs @therealvikingstrash and @captainkilly - and anyone else who wants to give this a go!
