giving a man you just met your father’s boat so you can go on a long sea voyage together…that’s practically begging him to be your boyfriend

Attacking a foreign city and then staying because the pretty, scary princess on the parapet gave them 5 seconds of her attention.

Vikings: Valhalla Fanfic Preferences
A couple of months ago I put out a question about Vikings Valhalla fans and what they want to read. @vikingstrash ran me up a little Google poll and I am circling back to share some results!
I feel like I should start this by saying that I’m not a statistician or a data scientist - I’m just someone who likes graphs. The last time I did this I got strongly chastised for shoddy methodology, so, in the interest of full disclosure - there wasn’t any methodology. We asked some questions. We got some answers. I did some math.
I got 37 responses to the survey - so, not a huge sample size, but enough to start seeing a couple of patterns.
I started this project with a question - what do you want to read? And I got what I think are some interesting answers.
Title: There’s Love in Anger
Rating:Gen
Pairing: Emma of Normandy/King Canute
Summary: Once Emma of Normandy- Queen of England- had send her father in law after Olaf the traitor, she was awaiting king Canute’s return. Patiently, almost impassive to Nobles and Godwin, but not to her husband.
A/N:My entry to @mercurygray’sTDS birthday bash/1000 follower fest, the prompt I chose was “The things you said…out of anger”.

(based on this promptby@malenamoonlight: freydis eriksdotter encountering the shieldmaidens of old, post-season 1)
“Shieldmaiden, why do you despair?”
Freydis jumps up and wheels around to face the stranger, her sword already in hand. She has always been a keen tracker, with sharp eyes and sharper ears—better than Leif, even—and yet she had somehow not noticed the shieldmaiden’s approach.
