#gisela: xlittleprinccss [uhtred]

@xlittleprinccss​ asked: “What do you dream about?” to Gisela from Uhtred from this meme 

“The runes”, she murmured her reply, cautious to keep her voice low and not disturb the night’s deathlike silence. It was cold, but Gisela had woken up with a sweat. Before she could distinguish dream from reality, her body had already risen impulsively into a seat, which must have been abrupt enough to wake Uhtred from his sleep. Her chest was heaving, for some reason. The only sound they could hear was the distant hooting of the owls and the soft breath of their children as they slept, so she inhaled deeply, soothing herself. “Among other things...”

Her words were intentionally vague. She didn’t want to discuss her visions with him. They would bring no good. Gisela had seen death; hers, the children’s, then at last his own, but she knew he’d take them to heart and start basing his decisions on something that, for her, still felt unsubstantial. Until a real threat came along, it would be sensible to keep her dreams to herself. 

So, in an attempt to distract him from his question and prevent any further inquiries, Gisela smiled sweetly, then kissed his lips, concealing her worried gaze. “Most of all, I dream of you, especially when you’re away. I hope you’ll stay longer with us this time.”

@xlittleprinccss asked: [cuddle] from Gisela

[cuddle] our muses decide to cuddle up to each other

the guilt was overwhelming. by forcing uhtred into his service, alfred had killed him. but whatever pain he felt was felt by gisela tenfold. she was sobbing. alfred had caused this. wiping his own eyes, he slowly put his arms around the woman, pulling her onto the sofa with him as he held her. this was horrible; he felt horrible. “i am so sorry, gisela,” he whispered, his voice trembling.

@xlittleprinccss asked: “ i had a dream about you. ” (From Gisela)

alfred was surprised to hear those words come from her mouth. why had she been dreaming of him? had it come from anyone else, he would have interpreted it in a romantic way. instead, he assumed she dreamed of uhtred taking his crown and her being the queen. still, he couldn’t exactly make that assumption when gisela was one of the kindest women alfred knew. no, she would never wish harm upon him, would she? “may i ask what the dream was about?” alfred asked calmly.
