Get To Know Them Alphabet
Based on @sihtricfedaraaahvicius's template (original post here). Thank you for this! Sorry it has taken me so long to fill it out.
This is VERY long so it is under the cut. The questions seem geared towards a Modern AU so I am going to answer it like that.
Accessories: do they wear them and what kind? Aldhelm prefers to keep the accessories to a minimum. A wedding ring (if he is married of course) is all the jewelry he really cares to wear. He does wear a wristwatch, though, since he hates getting his phone out just to check the time. He is old fashioned like that.
Bad habits: do they have any? I honestly can't think of any! He does not really have any vices, believe it or not. He does not drink much except socially (which is rare since he is very introverted). He doesn't smoke or take drugs at all. He eats healthy foods in moderation and exercises regularly. He is always on time, or even early, and is not a procrastinator. He does not have an addictive personality at all, in fact. He doesn't even spend a lot of time on social media. The only thing I can think of is he has a bit of a sweet tooth and loves chocolate, but that hardly counts! (Edit: it was mentioned that "overthinking" is a bad mental habit so now that is included here! He is an overthinker for sure!!)
Clothing: what's their style and what do they wear at home/out and about? I know next to nothing about fashion aesthetics so I had to look this up to get an idea of what words to use. Basically I would think like a mix between smart-casual and sort-of business casual. Definitely not a t-shirt and jeans kind of guy for sure, except for maybe when he is just staying at home. He likes to look nice, but also be comfortable at the same time. Mostly earth-tones and black but he is not averse to color, especially forest greens and navy blues.
Date: what would their ideal first date look like? Do they enjoy datenights when in a relationship? A first date would be very laid back. A coffee shop where you can chat for a bit. A botanical garden, aquarium, or zoo if you are up for something more interactive. Honestly though, you probably already know each other well enough, before even the first date. He is a "get to know you as a friend first" take it slow kind of person and does not rush into a relationship. Once in a relationship, date-nights are a thing for sure. But not the dinner and a movie kind, unless you really want to. Going to a used bookstore, hiking in the forest, visiting a museum, or browsing an antique store is his idea of a good time.
Emotional: are they an emotional person? Yes, very much so, even though he often does not show it on the surface. He is usually very calm and soft-spoken, and rarely gets angry. But he does get frustrated easily, and is prone to bouts of melancholy. He just tries not to show it publicly.
Fears: what are they afraid of? Aldhelm's fears are not of tangible things; rather they are more abstract. He fears most of all losing the ones he loves. And he fears losing control over his life, and his independence (forced into being reliant on other people)
Gifts: what makes them happy? Aldhelm is not much into gift giving, as his love language is acts of service and quality time. Handmade or thoughtful gifts are appreciated, though!
Helpful: do they help others, or are they rather selfish? Aldhelm is one of the most selfless people on the entire planet. He will go out of his way to help others, especially those who he loves or is close to. He will not hesitate to help even total strangers.
Insecure: do they have any insecurities? Oh boy does he ever! He is a chronic overthinker, and will mill and mull about things for a very long time before coming to a decision. He may appear calm on the surface, but inside he is always racked with worry and anxiety over things he cannot control. He also worries entirely too much about not misinterpreting other’s actions; does this person like me or not? Does he hate me? Did I say the wrong thing? What is wrong with me? You know the thoughts…
Also he has attachment and abandonment issues. He clings hard to anyone who will pay him the slightest bit of attention, and won’t let go no matter what. This leads to him being taken advantage of, but any attention is good attention as far as he is concerned.
Jealous: are they of a jealous nature? He can be very jealous! He feels that the people he loves are "his" and wants them to spend their time with him only. However even though he is jealous he is not possessive or controlling, and keeps the jealous feelings (mostly) to himself.
Kitchen: can they cook? Do they have a signature dish? Aldhelm can cook well enough for himself, but does not really love cooking and baking.
Laugh: what makes them laugh? Aldhelm has a very dark and dry sense of humor, so sarcasm, hyperbole, and absurdities will make him laugh. You know, typical British humor.
Morning routine: what are they like in the morning? He is an early riser. He gets up early, eats his breakfast and has a morning jog before getting to work.
Night routine: how do they unwind before going to bed? He usually will read a book or listen to classical music to unwind.
Occupy: what does their home look like? Aldhelm’s home is classic and traditional, with a brick and stone exterior and clean, fairly minimalist interior. Everything is neat and tidy; he loves organizing and categorizing stuff so everything has a place. There are a few nice paintings hanging on the walls, originals not prints of course. For colors he prefers neutral natural tones overall, mostly warm browns and beige, but with pops of color here and there. He has a few houseplants, easy care pothos and orchids. In the living room/family room is an entire wall of bookshelves that are built into the wall, filled with books and a few modest collectables he has acquired over the years. And there is always a vase of fresh cut flowers from his garden on the dining room table.
Pet peeve: what are things they absolutely can't stand? Oh this will be a very long list... others being loud in public, littering, aggressive driving, people who are perpetually late, those who do not pick up after themselves (or their dogs!), not putting things back where they belong, poor grammar, doing gross things in public (spitting, picking nose, scratching themself, etc), and people who talk over you or ignore you in a conversation.
Quirky: what's their quirky trait? Probably that he fidgets all the time. He always has to be doing something with his hands.
Relax: are they easily stressed out or do they go with the flow? As someone who is low-key on the surface and does not like conflict, he will typically go with the flow but be stressed out internally.
Spontaneous: are they? Not at all!!! LOL! He has to plan ahead for everything. He has his own agenda, and sudden changes to that stress him out. He also likes to take his time to really evaluate a situation before making a decision, so he will never be the first to jump into anything.
Truthful: how much of the truth do they tell others? He is honest to a fault, and never lies. But he may not tell someone the entire truth depending on the circumstance.
Upset: are they upset easily? And what upsets them? He is typically very calm, and does not truly get upset easily. But he will get upset if he sees something disturbing, like someone hurting another person or animal.
Vain: how vain are they? Not at all. He takes good care of his appearance, but he is not conceited. He does not place a lot of weight in other people's appearances, and does not really care what others think of his.
Work: what kind of job do they have/would they like? I can imagine him in some sort of high level professional career field. He is a politician first and foremost, and would excel at being a congressman or working for the FBI or CIA. But maybe he would not really be happy doing those kinds of jobs. I could see him as a university professor or a museum curator. Maybe a librarian or bookstore owner. Or even perhaps an attorney or working for a court in some manner. Or even working for a humanitarian organization (like an NGO) that helps people. Somewhere he could feel fulfilled and use his skills, but not feel like millions of people's lives were on the line if he makes the wrong decision.
X-factor: do they have a talent for something? He is artistic and very creative! He hides it well from others since he does not like being judged. In his free time he loves to draw and paint. He also loves writing stories and even dabbles in poetry although he does not think he is very good.
Yield: how easily do they give in to something/someone? It depends. For someone he loves, he will give in very easily. But others? Not without a huge amount of pushback. And if he feels like he is right about something, he will never relent. Typical Capricorn lol!
Zealous: what are they enthusiastic and passionate about? When it boils down, he is passionate about helping people. Whether it is doing nice things for the people he loves, serving in a good cause, or working for a company whose mission is to make other people's lives better. He lives to serve others, in any capacity.

My Lady
Pairing Aldhelm x Fem!Reader
Summary You discover Aldhelm in your chambers, on the ground and covered in blood
Warnings mention of blood/ injury
A/N yes this is a very much what if you were Aethelflaed and reciprocated his feelings but how could I not, someone needs to love this man (I’ll do it myself if I have to) also it’s not the exact scene because I can’t remember the entire thing so it’s my own twist
The night was coming in quickly and with it a cool breeze. You didn’t mind it much though you knew it was time to retire. The events of the day had been weighing on you and all you desired was to rest. That was not what fate had planned.
The corridors near your chambers were surprisingly empty for a change, though you barely noticed it. What bothered you more was that the door to your room was slightly open. As quietly as you could you approached, half expecting to hear someone rustling around trying to find something.
That wasn’t the case. In fact it was unusually silent.
You crept forward, gently placing a hand on the wood before giving it a push. It moved with little effort but the sight made you sucked in a sharp breath.
“Lord Aldhelm!” You gasped at the sight of him. The lord was sat on your floor, legs splayed out in front of him. He was clutching his stomach where blood was looking out of him, drenching his hand. Aldhelm looked exhausted, sweat covering him almost entirely.
“My lady, forgive me.” He managed, though you knew it was a lot of effort to speak. “I did not know where else to go.”
“I must get someone to help.” Unsure of what to do, you turned to leave. Someone else would be better to help him. Why would he come to you? Aldhelm had always trusted you but you were no healer.
“You cannot!” He shouted but it was soon followed but a grunt of pain. The very noise caused you to stop in your tracks, spinning to look at him once again. He struggled to meet your eye as he spoke again “I would not ask for your help if I did not need it.”
That seemed to settled it. You shut the door behind you, though you knew no one was out there. It was just you and him. You would do whatever you could to help him, to save him.
“Let me see it.” You spoke softly as you crouched down beside him. Aldhelm seemed resistant at first, barely moving as though he was worried for you to see or even get a speck of blood on your dress. But you were careful, peeling back the fabric of his tunic to have a closer look. It was a deep wound but the bleeding was starting to slow. “Come.”
You knew he needed to be moved, neither of you could stay on the cold ground and work on the wound. You managed to help him to his feet and though he was a little unsteady, he soon managed to stagger over to a small seat.
There was a pause and an awkward silence before you wordlessly pulled his tunic over his head. The motion caused him to wince in pain but you were being as gentle as you could. Your eyes wandered over his bare chest, the muscles before resting back on the wound.
It was as though a fire had been lit in you, you busied yourself and got to work quickly, finding cloths and a small bowl of water to clean the wound. Once it was clean you focused on making sure the bleeding had stopped.
“I hope you forgive for me this.” His voice was low but his eyes never left your face. Aldhelm watched as you worked on the wound, he could feel the warmth of your touch seeping into him as if your touch alone was healing him. Perhaps it was.
“There is nothing to forgive, my lord.” You replied, you attention was solely on the wound, the blood. You had barely even registered that he had been watching you so carefully, the way his eyes traced your face as though he was painting it eternally in his mind.
“I dare say you wished to spend your evening differently.” He bit back a moan as you started to wrap the wound. You tried to be gentle, oh heavens you tried to be, yet every time he winced you felt a part of yourself break. You never wanted to see your Aldhelm like this.
“Nothing is better than spending time with those you care for.” Still you did not look at him, your eyes trained on the wound in front of you. “I would rather see you well more than anything.”
“Thank you.” It was sincere and breathy and it sent a flutter through your stomach. He swallowed hard finally looking at the wound. You had wrapped it well and it was looking far better but still the worry danced one his eyes. “I fear for the worst, I have lost too much blood.”
“A gut wound is treatable, even after blood loss.” You spoke sharply as you finished your work. The wound still looked angry but much better than it had, the bleeding had slowed considerably and he was fairing much better. You stood, towering over him, a hand gently placed on his shoulder. That’s when you finally met his eyes. “Do not loose hope.”
“With you here, I could never.” His own hand found yours. His skin was clammy though you did not mind. The touch alone warmed you. “My lady, if I am to pass from this.”
“My lord, don’t.” You interrupted him not wanting to hear it. Seeing him on your floors covered in his own blood was painful enough without the thought of losing him entirely.
“Please.” He begged, his eyes searching yours. He forced himself to stand, barely caring for the wound that ailed him. Your hand stayed in his, he even gave it a little squeeze before he said anymore. “You have my heart.” His voice was steady and certain and his eyes didn’t betray him. He meant it.
“Aldhelm.” You whisper half taken back by the confession.
“I know that I might not have yours and I shall carry that to my grave but I could not die without telling you.” Before you could deny him the words were rolling off his tongue as if he’d expected you to reject him now or even later. But you could not.
Aldhelm was not the man many thought him to be. He was kind and gentle and he had always had your heart. There were many occasions when you thought perhaps he had not cared for you, yet here he was confessing everything.
Your free hand trailed up to his has jaw, cupping his face so gently you worried you would break him with too much pressure.
“Then you shall live knowing you have mine in return.” Your voice was like a song to his ears, uttering the words he had longed to hear. He watched your parted lips as if waiting for permission.
“May I?” He asked, cocking his head slightly.
“You may.” You whispered. Aldhelm was gentle as he pressed his lips against yours but soon it became desperate, like he needed you as much as the air he breathed. You needed him just as much. You sunk into him completely, kissing him back with hunger as his hands held your waist in place.
You were his lady, now and forever.

Calm Before the Storm
➡️Read on AO3⬅️
A short fic (3.2k) that takes place just after King Ceolwulf's death in 2x03. The new Lord of Mercia and his advisor chat about what just happened, with some introspection from Aldhelm. Added some insight of their history together.
This was originally part of some of the earliest chapters of a much longer fic, but I changed the vibe (ie: I did not want to rewrite all of S2) and made this part its own standalone fic.
Thank you to my betas @holy3cake and @thenameswinter99!
