Parallel between Leif’s dad and BertBert’s mom goes so hard

[hatedbyiife]

I need to actually kiss leif thorvaldson like, yesterday

[onesaltyerik]

constantly torn between "you can't tell me what to do!" and "please give me clear instructions on what to do, my brain is full of bees and i can't read." it's a weird time.

Some headcanons for the daemos boys cause I got bored!

Some of these are just silly ideas but I have quite a few genuinely serious headcanons in there as well!

Asch:

23 years old.

6’3 (very slightly over average for daemos)

Smells smokey and sweet, like cedar in a bonfire.

Great at archery, initially learned from his mother and has devoted himself to mastering the skill in her honor.

Takes his role as a leader very seriously, no funny business.

Hates nikargas with every fiber in his being. He will go out of his way to slay one if given the opportunity.

Fears failure and loneliness.

Hates physical touch, it causes him to flinch hard if he isn't expecting it.

Has oddly cold hands, very insecure about it.

Would laugh at videos of children falling.

Nonexistent spice tolerance (I took inspiration from Moistcritical).

Has a beloved pet phoenix, but sadly doesn't have much time to take care of her himself.

Wears a little eyeliner, slays the day.

Leif:

22 years old

6’2

Smells like he was rolling on the wet forest floor (he was).

Very knowledgeable about animals, even survived an encounter with a nikarga.

Has a very soft spot for children.

Low alcohol tolerance, gets drunk easily.

Drank quite often until he became a knight. (Still can't refuse a few cups if offered, but is getting better.)

Serious abandonment issues and mild separation anxiety.

Distrustful of higher authority, though secretly respects Asch and is grateful to have been spared.

Meditates quite a bit, prefers to do so in the wilderness (with supervision from Strike of course).

Loves thrills, riding on Strike’s back is his preferred method of travel due to the distance from the ground and the breeze in his face.

Will eat just about anything, eats like he hasn't in weeks.

Highly flirtatious, gets no bitches.

Rhys:

24 years old

6’4

Smells very clean and posh, like a fine cologne.

Nearsighted, needs glasses to see properly.

Very cautious, likely due to his vision impairment.

LOVES puzzles, anything revolving around strategy and riddles is his cup of tea.

Massive sweet tooth.

Extremely polite, like to the point he gets walked on sometimes.

Very mild temper as in common frost aligned fashion, but when his bottle breaks, it breaks.

Loves stargazing, constantly trying to figure out what those white dots in the black sky really are.

Perfectionist, hate hate hates when things are even slightly imperfect he goes insane.

Highly artistic, has journals apon journals of people and creatures he's doodled.

Often viewed as being boring (even by his own family), hates it.

Noi:

Youngest of the group at 20 years old.

5’9 (short ahh)

Smells citrusy, like lemons and grapefruit.

Autistic, has trouble picking up on certain social ques.

Experiences a phenomenon similar to Pinkie Pie’s “Twitchy Tail”, this is related to his ability to sense incoming storms.

Loves romance stories, forbidden romance is his favorite trope.

Scared of loud noises, he panics when he smells a thunderstorm coming.

Insecure about his size and strength sometimes, but tries to find loopholes.

Introverted, though highly extroverted when comfortable.

Values kindness and empathy.

Most loyal to Asch of the knights (even more so than Pierce and Rhys)

Highly curious but cautious, prefers to learn visually.

Mostly used as a messenger because of his swiftness and fantastic memory.

Pierce:

Oldest of the group at 25 years old

6’7 (very over average for a daemos)

Smells subtle but floral, with notes of lavender and water lily.

Gentle giant, gives wonderful hugs. (it would probably cure depression tbh)

Most mature among the knights.

Neurodivergent, some form of synesthesia and/or autism. (I'm leaning towards sound-color synesthesia.)

Does not enjoy killing or viewing fights, attempts to play peacemaker in most hostile situations.

Sensitive to violence and especially death, there's a reason why he doesn't speak much.

Distant, prefers to not make attachments.

Likes animals, used to nurse injured critters back to health before releasing them.

Surprisingly funny, isn't aware of it.

Carries his sword everywhere like its a comfort plush toy.

Has a very approachable demeanor, he may not speak much but he is a fantastic listener.

[brights-place]

Can you do My inner demons Rhys x reader who is a witch and a friend of Ava live in next door?

Ava doesn't know about reader being a witch until reader tried to protect her from the 5 Daemos

[M.I.D] Rhys x Reader

Warnings: None

A/N: I LOVE RHYS SO MUCH I GIGGLEEEEE HE'S SUCH A GODO CHARACETR APHAMU IDC WHAT TYPE OF VIDEOS YOU RECORD NOW JUST LET ME HAVE THE CHARACTERS BACKSTORYS!! anyways everytime I get this type of request I giggle and get excited dividers by: selysie

Summary: Ava loved her bff so much that the two ended up living next door to eachother. So when you came down to visit her and to see her in the grasps of danger with men in horns you took action with your own hands literally. The amount of sheer awe that came from Ava and Piercing deep blue eyes that watched you made the silence loud but nto as loud as ava shouting at what you just did.

The moment you stepped foot into the apartment to visit Ava the energy was different and foul a stench of something reeked as You couldn't help but purse your lips at the musky scent of another entity one that would leech off onto an force of energy.

The sound of screaming into a hand were heard as You stepped from the corner to see some males with horns that glowed in the dark of the living room as the males heads snap there head over to stare at you as you froze the male with black obsidian like hair point "CAPTURE THEM" "Prince Asch-WAIT" the male with deep green horns vanished from his spot as you snapped your head to behind you to see his hands reach out to you in a fast pace.

The grip on ava is mouth dropped slightly as she shouted "(NAME)" in the blink of an eye Leif frozen for a moment, eyes wide as he was hit against the wall of the apartment that lead to cracks on the purple wallpapered walls to where the other daemos were who froze entirely as Ava was able to breach out of the male with teal eyes is arms as they all stared at you glaring at them your eyes glowering slightly at them like they were prey.

You were quick to step up infront of Ava who ran up to you as you couldn't help but heave arms up with a flow of energy on your finger tips glaring at the daemos glancing back at Ava who was on the floor behind her shakily panting "N/N" "Hush" You snapped at her through gritted teeth "that human" The male with yello horns and orange attire blinked and muttered "It- It-"

A fire ball casted on the obsidian haired male is hands "That doesn't matter lets get rid of that human and get this over and done with" You were quick to act as light started pooling at your tip of your fingers as with an accelerative pace, your stature shifted into a different form As projectiles of fireballs attacks rained down they collided with a shimmering dome of energy burst forth, expanding outward with a soft hum enveloping Ava and Your forms in a protective embrace. The shield glowed a vibrant blue flickering faintly as swirling patterns danced across its surface resembling magical runes of arcane.

The shield pulsed rhythmically its glow intensifying whenever a new strike landed, resolutely keeping harm at bay.

The male with white tipped horns gritted his teeth "PRINCE ASCH CEASE THIS AT ONCE!" the male with deep blue eyes stated quickly grappling Asch is wrist "we cannot waste anymore of your magic-" "Rhys you dare-"

"What are you"

Silence filled the room as the male with the red fluffy cape scowled "What are you" you repeated as you stared down at them as Ava spoke "they're demons!" "no we are daemos- uhm prince asch let me" the male with deep blue horns turned to stare at you with interest.

You stared deadly at the group as the barrier in brilliant flashes of light dissipating harmlessly. Ava stared wide-eyed with relief, could feel the faint warmth of the shield surrounding herself and you a tangible reassurance of safety. Outside the barrier Rhys stood firm eyes staring deeply into your e/c eyes, their energy unwavering, every ounce of focus dedicated to holding the shield strong. With each second the shield’s presence was a silent vow: as long as it stood, no harm would touch those within.

Ava eyes swirled with panic and she spoke "N/N whats that- (name)… (name)!" Ava muttered shakily at you summoning Thin, sharp projectiles made of crystalline magic hovered in formation like a lethal constellation.

Each shard was razor-edged, tapering to a fine point that seemed almost too perfect, catching and refracting the ambient light into dazzling, prismatic hues. Rhys couldn't help but stare at awe at the sheer amount of magical energy and force coming from your hands Their translucent bodies pulsed faintly imbued with an inner glow that flickered in sync with the shield below, as though drawing power from the same source. The shards hung in the air perfectly still yet brimming with an almost predatory energy waiting for a single command.

"Please let me explain of the situation… Sorceress?" "I am no Sorceress. I'm an alchemist… nothing else" Rhys blinked at the new word as he spoke "ahem well please let us explain this dire situation we do not mean to cause harm" "I thought we meant to cause all harm?" pierce questioned as Rhys hushed him with Asch fuming as Leif shakily was rubbing his head and standing up staring you down. Occasionally a shard trembled ever so slightly emitting a faint chime, like a crystalline bell, as if eager to be unleashed. The projectiles flared brighter their sharp edges glinting with menace, ready to retaliate and shoot down to the group. Suspended in a delicate but deadly balance, the crystalized projectiles seemed less like defensive tools and more like sentinels of the shield—silent, watchful, and poised to strike the instant danger drew too close.

Ava pursed her lips "wait that fire magic stuff I saw before was real… The magic from (Name) is hands were real?" "yes! allow me to explain- well for the fire part atleast" Rhys started "We are from another world and go by the name daemos" Ava tilted her head slightly "Your name is daemos?" Rhys shook his head "No We are daemos" rhys said gesturing to the other men with coloured horns while Ava looked even more confused "your all named daemos?" Rhys sighed shaking his head "No my name is rhys"

Ava eyes widened abit "Your world is rhys?" Ava said her eyebrows furrowed with confusion as you were quick to speak "AVA let him finish I need to know if they mean harm and from these guys I sense ALL the harm"

Rhys rubbed his temples speaking "Just- ugh… We are from another world our home is… being threaten by a horrible monster?" Rhys said the statement sounded more like an question "What?" Ava questioned "Yes! Our home is being threatened by a horrible monster that threatens to engulf everything we care about…. That's right, so we've come to E-urth to learn about it to discover if this world is suitable for us to move our people here." Rhys noted "Move your people..here?" Ava questioned more "Wait that's not-" Noi started "Shh, just go with it!" Leif said hitting Noi's head making the male yelp and rub the spot the lief hit.

After the whole run down you made sure to be around Ava more even though the girl was pointing at you saying "Your a witch!" while you completely denying it and saying you were an alchemist before quickly submitted to her annoying pestering before admitting it.

In return you made her do a binding spell so she doesn't tell a soul in return she'd get something and in return she wanted a body pillow of her favorite fictional character which… was quite entertaining.

Rhys though and the other daemos were more heightened and weary around you and your pure magical energy that was on parr maybe even stronger then asch due to well the lack of magic in daemos but it did have them make sure to stay on your good side.

Rhys though would try to learn things form you like he did with lady grandma trying to learn from you. Hell you even took note how Noi unlike the others seemed to lack Magic so let's just say Rhys dropped his jaw when you gave Noi something to keep on his person as it was a small miniature Jar with dirt a plant and a crystalized shimmer glow of a mixture of colours that still had every component inside it seen properly.

Rhys who was witnessing you brewing the item blink when you handed the necklace with the vial to him "This is a jar of dirt?" he paused as you hummed "Yes" silence engulfed you two as you picked up a magazine in your crafting room.

Rhys looked at the necklace and looked back to you "Is the Jar of dirt going to help Noi…?" Rhys questioned raising a brow to you as you had your arms crossed reading your magazine opening one hand to "If you don't want it, give it back" Rhys was quick to hold onto is shyly looking away with a slight blush "Hm.." "Then it helps"

Noi though when he got the necklace awkwardly wore it for abit yet he took note how sometimes he'd feel the familiar sparks in his fingers of magic. Noi couldn't help but beam and side eye you in the living room talking to Ava.

A moment when Leif was trying to heal himself one time you would just pop over and just hand him a swirling potion which he refused at all saying that it wasn't needed but chugged it when you threatened him that if he didn't he'd die which you learnt was something he'd find entertaining with his life on the line so he'd chug the vial and hey his scars were all gone. though when you offered to heal the scar on his eye he would grab your wrist tightly but knew you meant good it was weird… Humans helping Daemos was weird.

Pierce found it relaxing to be in a room with you when you were just reading your book in solemn silence though he does question your morals. One time though Pierce kept his head down because he heard you mutter to him when walking past something in daemos tongue "I know" He kept silence though becoming more guarded around Asch.

Asch out of all of them were questioning you but couldn't help but hold respect though he referred to you as Prisoner like Ava he knew what you were capable of and when he'd refer to Ava as a Human Sorceress he questioned if you were Ava is pupil while you explain that you are a witch and only do things to gain something back in return… like a benevolent witch but would do anything for free for Ava.

Asch though would stare at you and one time he asked if you'd be able to brew a potion for sleeping easier instead you just gave him a melatonin explaining what it'd do to help him which he found like you were poisoning him but explained everything so he was thankful for that.

But it doesn't matter about them it mattered Rhys is relationship with you. Slowly you and Rhys grew a bond sharing knowledge but keeping it limited with each other yet a huge bond started to create. Rhys though couldn't help but feel guilty for the truth he kept from you and Ava.

You were able to grin at him when he'd share things to you in return for more knowledge of earth as you explained customs and learnt that Daemos was in the mid-evil era. you two slowly started to care for eachother and learning about eachothers habits sometimes helping Rhys out with the other Daemos and teaching hem common manners that are for humans while Ava was watching squealing at how cool you look.

Even though you and Rhys got close one thing was certain from you was that no matter how many times you offer to help them you knew their true intentions after getting as much information you can leech out of all of them.

Rhys knew though that sooner or later you'd figure them out and they can't have that but for now he'll enjoy staying beside you you two learning each other and seeing the differences of potions and spells within culture as well.

[rainydayzo]

Headcannons

okok so i know its odd but i have like a lot of headcannons about team snakemouth?? So- for one- i think Vi is on the spectrum (Leif too but ill get to that) She doesnt really understand social cues and she has a hard time reading the room (You see this first when we meet her) and she also has a very strong drive towards money, which is fine thats normal sometimes, but that drive can sometimes make her blurt out things and not realize its offensive? it could also explain her wanting to be an explorer, it could have been a hyperfixation of hers that was super strong when she got into that fight with juane. Of course i kinda tend to view some traits of all of team snakemouth as thats just kinda how i am (Simillar minds think alike and all that) like with kabbu and bug rangers or leif and being a little startled by loud noises (Like- to an extent anyway, also he loveees small animals) but im not sure if thats a good example so ill just stick with vi likely being somewhere on there for now. for another hc i have tho, a much different topic. cooking i feel like kabbu cooks, he likes taking care of his team and cooks for them a lot, HOWEVER!! leif loves food, leif- LOVES food, so they likely cook too another one ive got, reading, i think leif really likes to read since he was out for so long and tries to catch up (I also think hes a lil bit of a book worm) and finally i think that when they get tired (Social battery wise) leif and vi just kinda follow around kabbu, he has a much larger social battery than them and he is very nice to be around and do nothing with ty for coming to my ted talk lmao

[seraph5]

I’m making my way slowly through colouring my version of the Midnight Burger crew. I imagined Leif as wearing a boiler suit (for ease of being ready to work/tool around at any time) and a loud shirt or T-shirt.

[buckybarnesdiary107]

Goodbye (Vikings Valhalla) Leif

He is about to leave Greenland without you.

“Do not leave,” I murmur against Leif’s lips. He sighs, but instead of answering me, he kisses me again with all the sweetness he can muster. Our mouths dance an unsteady rhythm, tongues clashing. Leif tastes like Spring and the sun coming out after months. “Leif, please,” I beg once again once he parts from me. Yet, I know it is all in vain. There is nothing I can do to convince him to stay in Greenland. Just like there is nothing he can say to make me go to Kattegat with him. It looks like this is where it ends after all that we have been through.

“I love you,” his sweet whisper takes my breath away. I love him too, but saying it out loud will only make all the more real the fact that we have to be apart. Instead, I return my lips to his. I truly admire the fact that he is determined to avenge his sister. However, that is not the life I wish for me. Leif, the love of my life, is to leave tomorrow with my heart beside his. The only thing I can do is wrap my arms around him and remember this moment for the rest of my existence.

New Friend

leif eriksson x fem reader

Summary: You quickly become good friends with a man you have just met. His crew is set out for battle and in need of your healing skills. As you accompany them on the journey you grow even closer to your new friend.

Notes: 18+ only!!! Mostly fluff, some smut, spoilers kinda, mini chapters.

word count: 3.6k

masterlist

Chapter 1

“Who is that?” Leif asks Freydis, staring toward the ships docking.

“I do not know. It looks like a returning merchant ship.” Freydis responds. “Why?”

Leif shrugs in response and walks off stealing glances in your direction. He watches you from the other side of the dock and when your bright (e/c) eyes connect with his he doesn’t look away. It surprises him when you hold the eye contact and give him a bashful smile. He smiles back before you turn away continuing on with unloading the boat.

Later that night there is a feast in the main hall. The room bustles with loud conversation and laughter as everyone enjoys their food and drink. Leif occasionally glances around the room in search of you.

“Who are you looking for?” Freydis asks.

“What?” Leif says caught off guard. “No one.” He shrugs and looks down as he eats his food.

The night goes on and the tables become less crowded as the ale puts to sleep those who over indulged. Leif finally notices you on the opposite side of the hall. He frowns when he sees you sitting alone looking tired and sad.

“Excuse me.” Leif says to the table before getting up.

He casually wanders his way over to you. Your eyes meet his as he cautiously approaches the table and sits across from you. You look at him with a confused smile and questioning eyes.

“Hi.” He finally says. “I’m Leif. Eriksson.”

“Hi.” You smile. “(y/n).”

He gently shakes your hand, your soft fingers brushing against his calloused ones.

“You looked so lonely over here.” He says almost as a question. “I felt I needed to come and check on you.”

“Well, thank you sir.” You smile even warmer at him.

Your smile made his heart swell. He nearly missed what you said next because he was so hypnotized by it.

“My supper companions… have found company for the night.” You say jokingly rolling your eyes.

“Are you merchants?” He asks.

“Better healer than a tradesman I’m afraid. But I travel with the merchants usually. It’s a good way to see some of the world, and they are always in need of a healer.” You instantly begin to open up to him, not really understanding why.

“So you are from Kattegat then?”

“Yes, I was born here. My mother died of illness not long ago… I never knew my father. It will always be home but I want to go out and live my life, you know? We only have so much of it…”

You take a sip of your drink to hide your blush when you realize you’re over sharing to this total stranger.

“I am sorry to hear about your mother.” He places a hand on yours.

You simply nod in response as you choke back the incoming tears.

“So, where are you from?” You ask him, desperately wanting to change the topic.

“Greenland.” He simply says.

“What brings you to Kattegat?”

“I am just passing through.” He lightly shrugs.

“Oh? And how long are you staying?”

“We leave in two days.”

You try to hide your slight disappointment but Leif notices the change in your face.

“We… are in need of a healer.” He suggests. “If you would be willing to come.”

“Where are we going?” You phrase the question as if you’ve already decided.

“That is um… complicated. It would be best if you did not know.” He hesitates.

“Ok…” You furrow your brows at him. “Is it far?”

“No. Not far at all. We are traveling by foot but we also have some horses. Myself and a small crew. It should only take us a few days to get there.”

“Ok… and why are we going to this mysterious place that I shall not know of?” You ask, your expression unreadable.

“There is a battle to be had…” He says lowly.

“Ok…” You say once again. “…and what is this battle?”

“It um- would be best if you did not know that either.” He knew how it all sounded so he did not expect your next words.

“Well… in that case I better go and sleep off this ale. If there is to be a battle, I have much to prepare before we depart.” You say as you stand from the table.

“I- uh- ok. Ok great.” Leif says in surprise. “I can walk you to your house?”

You nod with a smile and take his arm before leaving the hall. Leif makes light conversation with you as you walk the short path to your small house. Your arm fits around his so comfortably but the feeling makes your cheeks burn. You let go once you arrive at your door.

“Goodnight then, Greenlander.” You smile. “I shall see you in the morning?”

“Yes. Yes, see you in the morning.” He smiles back. “Goodnight, (y/n).”

—

Chapter 2

You meet with Leif the next morning and he introduces you to the small crew.

“This is Harald Siguredsson… And my sister, Freydis Eriksdotter.”

You get acquainted with everyone as they welcome you warmly. You discuss medicines and other things you may need for the travels. Leif keeps his eyes firmly on you as you talk with the others but you pretend not to notice.

“I shall see all of you tomorrow then.” You say to the group once you’re finished, eyes lingering on Leif.

They say their goodbyes but Leif catches up to you as you turn away.

“Do you need help with preparing anything?”

You smile warmly at him and nod. “I could certainly use some help, yes.”

You walk back to your house and Leif follows you inside. He looks around your small but cozy space. The small kitchen has a large table in the corner covered in different herbs and flowers and multiple mortars scattered about it. There was curtains hanging in the doorway to a small bedroom. Through the crack he caught a glimpse of your bed and a tub in the corner. You begin to organize the messy table as you make your preparations.

“What can I do?” Leif walks over to you.

You smile up at him. Each time you smiled at him it made his heart skip a beat. You hand him a mortar and pestle along with some plants.

“I need you to grind these up for me. As fine as you can please, the leafs will start to form a paste.”

He simply nods and begins crushing the herbs before him. As you both work with busy hands you ask more about him and his life and he tells you of Greenland and of his family. He then asks you about yours and you tell him how you grew up on a small farm at the edges of Kattegat with your mother. She taught you all about plants and healing mixtures. After she died you moved to a smaller place and began the occasional travel with the merchants, making coin with your healing skills. You enjoyed the escape but you always returned home.

It felt oddly comfortable to open up to Leif. The conversation seemed to flow between you like you had known each other for years.

“When did she die?” Leif asks.

Your hands pause and you frown looking down.

“6 months ago.” You choke out as you hold back tears.

“I am sorry…” He places his hand over yours.

Tears still in your eyes, you give him a soft smile and squeeze his hand in response before resuming your preparations. After that you mostly work in comfortable silence, occasionally giving Leif a new plant to grind and him asking questions about what they do. Then there were the silent glances and smiles that made your heart beat a little faster.

Once everything was finally prepared the sun had begun to set. You say goodnight to each other as Leif gets ready to head back to the inn.

“Thank you so much for your help today.” You say as he stands in the open doorway. “You have helped me more than you know.”

“Anytime.” He simply smiles and heads out the door. “See you tomorrow!” He calls behind him.

“See you.” You say under your breath.

—

Chapter 3

The next morning you wake and gather up your things for the trip. You walk down to the inn that the majority of the crew were staying at. You see Freydis outside and she waves you over with a smile.

“Good morning!” She smiles as she grabs your bags from you and hands them to another man loading the cart.

“Thank you.” You smile. “And good morning.”

You see the whole crew on the move preparing for the trip. Until someone was sick or wounded there was not much else for you to do.

“Can I do anything to help?” You ask Freydis.

“Hmm, uh, yes actually! Can you go and wake Leif?” She asks. “He is still sleeping and we are leaving soon.”

“Uh, yes sure.” You nod.

“Thank you, he is in room 3.” She gestures her head to the inn. “Down the hall, last door on the left. Please be quick about it we are almost ready.”

You nod again and quickly make your way into the inn and find room 3 down the hall. You fully expected Leif to be asleep in his bed so you open the door knocking lightly. Your eyes nearly pop out of your head when you see him standing there shirtless. Your eyes quickly trace over the tattoos on his muscular back before he turns around and notices you. You catch a glimpse of his bare hips as he pulls his pants up. Your eyes dart back up to his questioning ones. You have to focus to stop your eyes from wandering back down to where his hands were lacing up his pants, also bringing attention to his toned abs.

“I- uh. Sorry. We- uh. Um. We- uh.” The heat rises in your cheeks as you stand there feeling like a stuttering idiot.

You clear your throat and finally get the words out. “We are leaving…”

“Ok, I am ready. I was just getting dressed.” He says nonchalantly as he pulls his shirt over his head, clearly not noticing how flustered you are.

You follow him out of the building and join the rest of the group as you head off for the journey.

—

Chapter 4

You walk all day with the group, sharing stories and laughs along the way. Considering you did not know where you were going or what battle awaited them you felt safe with your companions.

Once the sun begins to set you find a spot to camp for the night. You eat supper around the campfire chatting away to Freydis sitting beside you. Occasionally you would catch Leif watching you from across the fire.

The temperature drops as the night gets later. Everyone begins to say their goodnights and retreat to their tents. Soon you and Leif are left alone sitting across each other. Your eyes meet in glances causing a soft smile from Leif. You stare back into the fire to hide your blushing. Shivering a little, you pull your cloak tighter around yourself.

“You look cold.” Leif breaks the silence.

“How observant of you.” You playfully tease. “That would be because I am.”

“Why don’t you come over here? We can keep each other warm.” He smiles.

You meet his eyes for a moment before crawling around the fire and cuddling up beside him as he wraps his arm around you. The heat radiating from his body warms you instantly. You both sit in comfortable silence looking into the fire. After a moment he rests his head on top of yours making your heart swell. As soon as you rest your eyes you began to drift off to sleep. Leif could feel your body beginning to go limp and held you tighter.

“Hey…” He whispers to you as you wake again. “Why don’t you go and get some sleep? I’ll help you to your tent.”

“I am fine.” You say shaking off your sleepiness. You did not want to go back to your cold tent alone you just wanted to remain in his warm arms.

“Do you not want to sleep?” He pulls back to raise his eyebrow at you.

“I just want to remain here with you.” You sheepishly admit.

Leif can’t help the wide grin that comes to his face.

“Well, we cannot sleep out here in the cold.” He begins to move to stand.

“Leif-“ You grab his arm, making him sit back down.

His confused eyes meet yours but then soften when he understands the unspoken words behind your eyes while you stare deeply into his.

He leans towards you, eyes briefly glancing to your lips. He moves at a pace that causes the anticipation to ache in your chest. Finally, his lips brush against yours in a soft tender kiss. You could feel the sparks the second your lips touched like fireworks had just gone off inside you both. He pulls away softly and smiles to you before placing a kiss on your forehead.

“We should get some sleep. We could continue to keep each other warm?” He says standing up and holding his hand out to you.

You nod and take his hand as he pulls you up to stand. He continues to hold onto your hand as he leads you to his tent, which was slightly larger than yours.

Once inside you shed your cloak and top layers, placing them in the corner. Leif does the same until you are both left in your thin shirts and bottoms. You crawl under the furs and cuddle up to him for warmth. He pulls you in close, wrapping both his strong arms tightly around you. Your heart races as his embrace feels so unfamiliar yet so comfortable. You close your eyes to sleep. He kisses the top of your head causing a smile to form on your lips. His steady heartbeat thumping against your ear causes you to quickly drift off into a peaceful sleep, more peaceful than either of you have had in a long time.

The next morning you throw the rest of your clothing back on and crawl out of Leif’s tent after your bladder had woken you up. You jump when your eyes are met by a single Viking already starting up the morning fire. Harald gives you a knowing smirk and raises his brow at you, glancing between you and Leif’s tent. You give him an embarrassed smile before you hurry away into the woods.

Chapter 5

You and Leif had not had a moment to speak alone as you traveled with the group for most of the day. You did not think you were acting any different but the others could sense something had shifted. When you finally stop to make camp you suggest that you and Leif should try to find some fish at the nearby river.

“How did you sleep?” Leif asks as you walk together.

“Very well.” You smile at him. “And you?”

“Very well.” He smiles back.

“I believe I can take some credit for your peaceful sleep.” You wink.

“I suppose I could do the same.” He smirks.

“I have never met anyone quite like you Greenlander.” You smile adoringly.

“I have never met anyone quite like you, (y/n). I think I-“ He pauses.

“What?” You turn to him as you both stop walking.

“I think I am in love with you.” He admits.

“Leif-“

Before you can respond he boldly grabs your face and captures your lips in a passionate kiss. You freeze for a moment of surprise before relaxing against him and throwing your arms around his neck. The kiss continues and his tongue slips in to gently caress yours. He is gentle and passionate and all you can think is how you love this man too.

“Leif…” You whisper when your lips part.

Your eyes meet and he looks at you with pure adoration.

“We have fish to catch…” You say and he nods removing his hands from your face.

“And…” You move your hand to brush his cheek with your thumb. “I think I am in love with you too.”

He grins widely and places another quick kiss to your lips. You hold his hand as you make your way to the river to catch some fish for supper.

Chapter 6

As soon as the sun began to rise so did the crew. You rush around with them as they pack up camp. They needed to continue traveling as soon as possible, they planned to reach the battle today.

They soon stop again to make one last camp in preparation for the battle. You had a tent set up with a large work table and you begin to prepare everything you may need following the fight.

Leif steps into your tent to say goodbye. He quickly cups your cheeks and gives a firm kiss to your lips. You pull him close as you kiss him back.

“Please do not die.” You whisper as your thumb strokes the hand on your face.

“I will do my best.” He places a final kiss to your forehead and walks out of the tent. He could not bear spending long to say goodbye to you knowing it could be the last time.

-

You had been pacing for hours now waiting for everyone to return from the battle. Waiting for Leif to return. The more time that passes the more you worry. There was a very real chance he may never return. A very real chance he had been killed. The thoughts swirl around in your mind and cause your chest to tighten.

Finally, you hear the commotion outside of people returning. You run out and desperately search around for Leif. You spot the rest of your crew and your heart sinks. You begin to walk over to Freydis but before she spots you a hand grabs your shoulder. You spin around to see Leif standing behind you shirtless, covered in blood and dirt, with wild messy hair. His face expressionless.

“Oh Leif!” You throw your arms around him not caring about the blood now staining your clothes. “I was so worried I had lost you for good… Are you hurt?” You pull back and examine him frantically for any noticeable wounds.

“I am fine. Can we go inside?” He says flatly.

You raise a brow at his tone but then nod and follow him into the tent. Once the curtains are shut you turn to Leif.

“Are you alright?” You barely get the words out before his lips are on yours, pulling you into a ferocious kiss that takes your breath away.

“No.” He mumbles against your lips. “There were moments… I thought I would never… see you again.” He says between kisses.

He cups your face and kisses you hungrily like a starved animal. The air is filled with a mountain of different emotions as you kiss him back with a burning passion. His tongue demands entrance and you happily oblige. The metallic taste of the blood on his lips makes you pull him closer to you, the fear of nearly losing him today too much to bear.

Suddenly he lifts you up and throws you down onto the table causing a bunch of things to clatter to the ground. You pay no attention to the fallen items as he starts kissing and nipping at your neck. You feel his hardness pushing against your core and it lights a fire within you. Your hands wander all over each other as your lips connect again. You run your fingers over his bloody chest and strong biceps as he moves to grab your breasts through your shirt.

As things become more heated you begin to tear at each other’s clothes. He shoves your skirts up to your hips and grinds harder against you, making you gasp into his mouth. He begins pulling the laces of your top as you frantically fumble with the strings of his pants. Your body felt electric from how desperately you needed him right now. Your mind was completely blurred by the feeling him.

Before you could get any further Freydis bursts into the tent startling you both.

“Oh… I- uh- I am sorry…” She stutters in surprise. “But we uh- need our healer out here.”

“Yes, of course of course. Apologies...” You quickly scramble to your feet and straighten yourself out.

Freydis gives you a nod and a knowing smirk to Leif before leaving the tent. You turn to Leif who’s now holding a damp rag. He gently wipes off the bit of blood from your face and neck. It was a sweet gesture although you knew you would be covered in blood again in a moment once you helped the wounded. His eyes meet yours and he smiles down at you before kissing your forehead.

“Go on.” He gestures his head to outside.

“I am so glad you are alive and safe.” You grab his hands and kiss his lips once more.

He did not need to respond for you to know exactly how he felt. You smile and gaze lovingly at each other before you move to gather your supplies, including those now on the floor, and exit the tent. You tried not to let the overwhelming thoughts of him cloud your mind while you worked. You could not help but count the minutes until you could have privacy with him tonight.

I want to turn into a dumb ski teenager. Kinda a twunk/himbo. I love hot helmets ski masks etc, I’d make sure my boots smell fetid. Thanks!

The platform in Munich was overcrowded when the train to Innsbruck arrived. Like Peter, at least some people were wearing a suit and carrying a laptop bag. Most were struggling with skis, snowboards and huge sports bags. Peter heard Dutch, Polish and Swedish, he had the feeling that half of Europe was on its way to a skiing vacation. He, on the other hand, had to go to Innsbruck to help clear away the rubble of a spectacular real estate bankruptcy. He was one of the top insolvency administrators in Europe. And he wanted to show that he himself could bring this case to a satisfactory conclusion for everyone.

As expected, everyone was jostling at the second-class entrances. The two first-class carriages were almost empty. It was quiet, Peter would be able to work in peace. He opened his notebook and settled down at the table in his compartment. But after a few minutes, the peace and quiet was over. He heard loud voices coming closer and closer. A young man with blond hair pulled open the door to his compartment, took a quick look around and then shouted "Hörni, det är nästan en hel tågkupé tom!" into the corridor. Without asking, he heaved his sports bag into the luggage net. And after a few moments, four young men followed and took possession of the compartment together with their leader. After a few seconds, the aisle was blocked with skis and snowboards, the luggage net was full of bags and suitcases, loud music was blaring from a boombox and the first bottles of beer and vodka were on the table next to Peter's laptop. It smelled of alcohol, sweat and testosterone. Peter was furious. "You do know that this is the first class rest area?" he asked the group. The leader of the group laughed and said that the train was so overcrowded, there would certainly be no conductor to check it. Peter closed his notebook, exasperated. Concentrated work would certainly not be possible. He put on his noise-canceling headphones and hoped to get at least a little sleep.

He probably hadn't closed his eyes for five minutes when he woke up. His crotch was soaking wet. A beer bottle had fallen over and the contents had spilled onto his lap. The Swedes were roaring. One of them said "Sorry" and held out a bottle of vodka to Peter. I don't know what kind of devil he was riding, but he took a swig. And a second. And helped himself to the dried moose meat. After the train had left Kufstein station, all six of them were roaring Swedish drinking songs. And Peter wiped a long blond strand of hair from his forehead.

As the train pulled into Innsbruck, the five jocks gathered their things together. Peter was already really drunk and it was difficult for him to stow his boombox and his still-empty bottles into his rucksack in time. At the last second, he managed to fall onto the platform with his snowboard and sports bag. His friends roared.

The train to St. Anton was even fuller. There was no chance of getting a seat. Peter and his friends crowded into the aisle and the party was immediately back in full swing. They quickly made friends with the members of a Norwegian student fraternity who were going to the same sports hostel as them. It was dusk when the train arrived in St. Anton. Leif had to vomit directly into the snow. Fortunately, the icy cold air had sobered Peter up a bit. But he had to piss and tried to pee "Sverige" in the snow. He failed. The pre-ordered bus was waiting for them and took them to their hostel

Yes, Pelle was damn good at partying. He was like all Swedes who made the Alps unsafe. But he was also a damn good sportsman. "Väl framme, mamma. Nu ska jag iväg till pisten för första gången. Hälsningar till pappa!", he wrote. The lifts opened at 09:00. No matter how hard he had partied yesterday, he wanted to be the first to leave his tracks in the freshly fallen snow.
