She was born and raised in Norway. He was an Anglo-Saxon warrior. Betrayed by his king, he was taken captive and brought across the sea. But he proved himself and escaped his shackles, making a name for himself as he led raids against his former home. She knows about betrayal, too; the man she loved absconded and left her to face the consequences of the crime he committed, but she fought and survived.
At first, she didn’t trust the foreigner whose rage rivalled Thor’s, who fought like a berserker and made suggestive comments in strangely-accented Old Norse. He was trouble, however charming and fierce he might be. And he, for his part, wanted nothing to do with the fair-haired warrior with fire in her eyes and challenge in the set of her shoulders, as ruthless as she was beautiful; she was a threat to his heart, and he knew it.
But after a few reluctant alliances, a few battles where they fought back to back, a few quiet moments afterwards, a few drinks… well, perhaps this wasn’t the worst partnership after all…
My contribution to @cshistfic - Emma and Killian as Vikings!
Please don’t tweet or repost this. Reblogging is totally fine and welcome, thank you!
After the loss of her husband to the war, Emma Humbert has sworn off everything to do with pilots and the skies they call home. As she tries to make a life for herself and her young son, summer adventures call to her little boy, bringing her back into a world she’d just as soon forget. It isn’t long before she finds herself enjoying the air shows and getting lost in the arms of one of her brother’s new hot shot pilots, Killian Jones.
Killian didn’t escape the war unscathed. Thanks to a war injury, he feels as though he’s grounded more often than not. More at home among the clouds than on his own two feet though, he’s grateful for the opportunity David Nolan has given him to heal and fly. He’s not quite prepared for the family he finds, and even less prepared when he realizes how much he wants to be a part of it.
Here we go on another adventure! Thank you to@ohmakemeahercules for looking this over! I appreciate it!
For the @cshistfic, we have a post WWII romance filled with broken dreams and hope for healing. :) Enjoy!
“I know you feel like it’s your duty to protect her,” Killian stated. “But she’s a grown woman.” When David insisted on talking to Killian after the show, the last thing he expected was a lecture. Yet, there he was, on the receiving end of the “what are your intentions” speech.
“A grown woman who’s been through Hell,” David reminded him. “And she’s the only part of my family I have left. It killed me watching go through her loss with Graham, and I’ll be damned if I stand by and just watch her get her heart broken all over again.”
“Dave,” he sighed, “I’m not toying with her heart.” It was all still so new for both of them, but he knew one thing was certain: He was in it for the long haul.
David nodded, and Killian hoped that meant he understood.
