y'all ever rewrite your own version of your favorite show so you can have characters that you wanted to end up together, actually end up together or to create your own plots?

I'm doing that with Vikings. I began it forever ago and never wrote past season two.

I always wanted Lagertha to stay and welcome Aslaug into their marriage. I wanted Ragnar's sons to be raised by two strong women.

I wanted Gyda to survive and be an important plot to the England story.

I wanted Rollo and Ragnar to have a better relationship and instead of Siggy, he married Thyri and had one son before her death. I wanted his story to be more drawn out of creating his own destiny in Paris and not because he wanted to betray his brother. I wanted Bjorn and Porrun to have a great relationship but her die in childbirth which caused him to never marry (& not whore around) until he meets Gunnhild, who in my mind, was a warrior princess, who helps Bjorn become the King of Sweden (& they marry and have lots of children).

I wanted Lagertha to die in battle (in England) before Ragnar which causes Ragnar to be more acceptable of death so he can be reunited with Lagertha in Valhalla. I wanted the brothers to come together and rip England apart with the help of Aslaug. That they both avenge not only Lagertha but Ragnar too because they loved Lagertha as a second mother and their was a deep bond between both Lagertha and Aslaug (and a deeper love). I wanted Torvi to be a bit younger so her and Ubbe could be the same age (and their relationship still be as perfect as it was in the show).

I wanted the brothers and Gyda to be close and work together. Still remain a tight family even after the deaths of their parents.

There is so much I wish Vikings had done differently, but fortunately, I have the ability and a bit of time to create my own version).

Adult Gyda

What would Gyda be like if she had lived?

I imagine her as a kind, understanding, cautious, reasonable, gracious and patient woman, who inherited her father's love of exploration and thirst for knowlegde, and shares his dream of discovering new lands for their people to seattle, so they can find peace and prosperity.

She tries to live up to her parents reputation as warriors, but hates fighting and doesn't feel good enough. She gives up on being a shield maiden, but still trains from time to time so she can protect herself if need be.

Her greatest strength is her mind, and over the course of the series she becomes a good diplomat.

She is a bit mild-mannered after the season 2 time skip, but grows more confident and assertive over time, without losing her humility or kindness.

Her sense of humour is good-natured, but when angry she can occasionally deliver rather mean-spirited comments. Usually she is simply cold or frustrated when angry, and bluntly calls people out or stays silent, rather than rattling off snarky retorts.

While patient and even-tempered, she can get snappy when frustrated, especially with Björn, since he is her brother.

She stayed with Ragnar after her parents divorce, because she felt it was only fair that her dad got to keep at least on of his kids

She acts as a second mother to her half-brothers. She took care of the three oldest alot since Ivar had Aslaug and Floki, but tried to be there for him as well, since he is rejected by most people, so they are fairly are close. Besides Floki and his parents (and later on Freydis), Gyda is his favourite person. However, Aslaug gives Ivar enough maternal care, Floki gives him guidance as a man, and his brothers' give him the company of someone his age own, so there is only so much Ivar needs from Gyda. Gyda however does try to give Ivar a little bit of discipline, even though she isn't every strict by nature. This is very much undermined by Aslaug, and Gyda doesn't want to challenge her parental authority as Ivar's mother.

Athelstan is like a second father to her and took care of her after Lagertha left with Björn whenever Ragnar was busy.

Gyda is on civil terms with Aslaug, but they are far from close.

Vikings and Vikings: Valhalla Recs!

Phew, it's been a minute since I've done one of these. Now back with a new design and additional fandom! Keep in mind that this rec list is my personal taste and yours might differ. I managed to read twelve fics despite the year I had and I think twelve fics for twelve months is a good number. (list below the cut)

Crossing the Abyss by @northernxstories - E - Multi - 23,6k

A beautifully written Space AU with polyamorous pairings. The relationships between the characters are just as interesting to read about as the bigger story of their journey. And I don't think I'm biased in the least, just because I made part of the art. This story is a whole treat!

Summary: The Kattegat was a unique vessel, designed to cross the expanse of space known as the Abyss. Once a ship enters the Abyss, the stresses surrounding the vessel increased exponentially and there was no known means of navigation in the starless void. Captain Bjorn Ragnarsson, known as Bjorn Ironside for his ability to survive seemingly impossible battles, has relied often on his brothers, Ivar, Ubbe and Hvitserk, and his sister, Gyda, to crew his ship.

Ivar was determined to defeat the impossible Abyss and has heard of a scholar who has invented a method of navigation that might be able to accomplish the task. Gyda and Ivar came up with a plan to get this information and if necessary, kidnap the scientist. Once on board the ship, the scientist is faced with unexpected challenges and rewards. However, before they can attempt the journey, Gyda must face her past.

October Rust by @bouncehousedemons - T - Ubbe/OFC - 1,9k

Wonderful imagery throughout the whole fic and and a great continuation of Salt of the Earth and Sea, which I also highly recommend to read! Summary: Ubbe assumes his lover has met a grisly demise, until an unexpected reunion with his brother proves otherwise.

polish the blood and the bruise by @underragingwaves - M - Hvitserk - 4,7k

Soldier Hvitserk, veterinarian Ubbe and a kitten. All very strong points to sell this fic, but please, it is so much more! If you like military themed stories, are a sucker for angst and family bonding this fic will hit all the right spots. I love it dearly and I'm sure so will you. It's also a nice crossover with Vikings: Valhalla characters.

Summary: Hvitserk came home from war, or so they tell him. Most days, he begs to differ about whether he ever made it out of the desert.

Reactions of your Kind by @ulfrsmal - E - Ubbe/Hvitserk - 3,1k

A bit of forbidden action in a hot spring and very nice mental images being painted along the way. Kudos to the lovely author!

Summary: Plagued by thoughts and desires he shouldn’t have had, Ubbe retreated to the hot springs outside of Kattegat… and had his bath interrupted by the one person he’d hoped wouldn’t see him so weak.

Sleepy Mornings by @ritual-unions - E - Ubbe/OFC - 7k

This is a story that reads like devouring your favorite food, while savoring it for as long as possible. Tender and electrifying and Ubbe is so very in character, I love it.

Summary: Winnifred lives a sheltered life as a Christian woman in King Alfred’s court. Not truly understanding the meaning of sexual pleasure her new husband, Ubbe Ragnarsson, is more than willing to show her the path.

I wish I knew how to quit you by @niishiki - E - Ivar/Heahmund - 1,2k

To make it short, if you love the naughty forbidden church sex, old/young pairing and Ivar being a little shit, this is a must-read.

Summary: Bishop Heahmund is a man of God - yet, he finds himself unable to resist temptation time and time again.

Til the light comes back by @naps4bats - T - Emma/Canute - 5,4k

I really liked how canon was translated into modern day AU and how well it worked! It's a lovely story with all the characters we like and don't like but still love to read about.

Summary: Emma and Canute enjoy a brief romance during a power outage. A couple of weeks later, they find their real lives intertwine.

Summer Days, Summer Nights by @encomium-emmae - T - Emma/Canute - 3.5k

An absolute lovely read for this pairing, set in a modern day AU. I like me some competitive Emma and Canute duo!

Summary: During a week of mandated vacation at a beach resort, Emma encounters a dark-haired stranger. Too bad he turns out to be a first-rate jerk.

Lost Amongst the Meadow by @emma-ofnormandy - M - Emma/Canute - 1,5k

A canon compliant piece that fits perfectly like a missing scene!

Summary: Canute wakes to an empty bed and sets out to find his wife in the early summer dawn.

to look at me and think of conquest by @mercurygray - M - Godwin/OFC - 2,5k

Absolutely adore the OFC Edith and her chemistry with Godwin. This 'verse has a few more little stories on tumblr and they are definitely worth checking out in the authors #edith eadig tag!

Summary: Godwin of Wessex knew how to be useful. He’d been Aethelred’s advisor before he’d been Edmund’s; before the Danes had left he’d made himself invaluable to Canute, too. And now that the first wife had taken up residence, it looked as though she, too, was availing herself of Godwin’s offered expertise.

Godwin has also never been a man who needed help - but he won't be able to deceive the Queen on this particular matter alone.

I Will Join You by @shelivesinhermind - Gen - Leif & Liv - 641 words

Missing scene potential. Wonderfully written and the respect Liv deserved to receive after her death.

Summary: A funeral for Liv.

The End of the Beginning by toughtobeashamgod - T - Freydis/Harald - 1,1k

Directly set after Freydis kills Kåre and even though it's rated T, it's a little bit gory due to the description of blood everywhere. Nevertheless, this fic was a nice little read and fits seamlessly into the canon 'verse.

Summary: They had come so far into this new world, only for it to end so quickly.

Read and share, share and read, loves! ❤️

Cover art for "The Queen of Kattegat" by @northernxstories for @vikingsbigbang

This illustration took some time and effort, because I had a distinct composition and painting style in mind from a Bladerunner poster I encountered once. It pushed me outside my comfort zone, which was very challenging, but I wanted to create something worthy of the fanfiction it is meant to illustrate: a gorgeously written story that has a fascinating take on the Vikings world we know.

I urge you to head on over to AO3 and have a look! :D
