#vikings valhalla season 2

Embrace of Two Hearts

Summary: Harald has been traveling, negotiating alliances but now that he is back, he can’t take his eyes off of his wife —as well as his hands off of her.

Pairing: King Harald Sigurdson x Queen Fem!reader

Warnings: fluff, kisses, implied smut, besotted Harald.

It had been a long time since Harald Sigurdsson had left Norway to build alliances and trading negotiations with the surrounding kingdoms. The matter had required his attention and he had been forced to leave you behind so you could take care of the kingdom in his absence. You were his Queen, the person he trusted and loved the most.

After meeting with various wealthy yarls and merchants, Harald’s plans had been prosperous; he’d stricken deals to trade goods and boost the income of his kingdom.

After almost two months at traveling, he was finally back.

Harald hadn’t blown the horns to make his arrival known.

He wanted today to be a surprise.

He wanted to see your face light up and hear your happy laughter as you reached him.

So after a light meal and a much needed bath, he headed to one of the villages where he was told you had gone shopping.

With his hood pulled low over this face, he strolled along the bustling Viking village, and when he saw you, his eyes fixed on you. You hadn’t taken notice of his presence; you were engaged in conversation with some of the women selling silks and spices. Resting his great frame on one of the stalls, he took his time and watched you for a few seconds. When waiting became too much to handle, he slipped back his hood and approached you.

A loud gasp left your lips when you finally saw him. You blinked, as in disbelief and when he smiled invitingly, all dimples and sunshine, you rushed into his arms. Your husband was back! Oh, how you’ve missed him, craved him! You’ve been exchanging letters with him during his travels but nothing compared to him holding you, touching you. And there he was, tall and handsome, wearing his marvelous regal tunic and leather pants, his fur cloak, his handsome face forming a warm smile.

“Ah, there’s my beautiful queen!” he said when you practically jumped into his waiting arms.

"Oh, Harald!" You pressed your lips against his in a long kiss. “You didn’t tell me you were coming back.”

“Surprise,” he said, his lips stretched delightfully.

“Oh, how I missed you! Is everything alright? The negotiations?”

“Everything’s perfect. I’ll tell you about my feats later.” He cupped your face, his hungry eyes taking in your beauty. “Let me look at you, have my fill of you.”

“Did you miss me so much, my lord husband?”

“Only a little, my lady wife.”

"Only a little?" You raised a brow. “Then why are you here?”

“Because I lied. I missed you. Painfully. Deeply. Hard.”

You laughed. “You debauched Viking.”

He grinned. “I've hoped to distract you from your shopping. Is it working?”

You fluttered your eyelashes. “Only if you kiss me again.”

Smiling in that stunning mischievous smile of his, he lowered his lips to yours, his tongue dancing with yours wetly. The touch was too swift for your liking but since you were still in public—and everyone was staring… you drew back softly. Harald locked your hands together and led the way back to your longhouse. You walked through the hall, with him stealing kisses and whispering sweet words to you.

When he had you in the solitude of your room, he scooped you up and dropped you onto the bed. You giggled as you bounced stop the furs and pillows. He joined you, a thick knee climbing onto the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight. And then he was all over you, his strong body draped over your slender frame. He watched you with eyes ablaze with the passion, his lips parted. He brought his hands to caress your cheek, his knuckles tracing your skin lovingly.

“What is it, King Harald? What has you so enthralled?” you teased, leaning into his touch.

“You,” he said simply. “My wife… my beautiful wife who outshines even the finest jewels.”

You kissed him lightly. “I’m not as charming as my strong and courageous husband.”

“I disagree. You are achingly beautiful and perfect. And I am not in the least charming.”

“Oh, you're charming. Impossibly charming.” You claimed his lips and he moaned. “Your charm is as sharp as your sword.”

Harald grinned. “My love, my sword only yields to you. Sharp and ready to service you.”

“You didn’t just say that!”

He kissed your forehead, however, his hands were skillfully dragging up your gown. “What are you thinking, my mischievous wife?”

“What are you thinking, my mischievous husband?”

“I’m thinking I missed the feel of you. And that I want you,” he said and rolled his hips gently, and even with the layers of clothes, his groin pressed hard against her center.

Whining softly, you slipped your hands under his tunic to feel his warm skin. “Me, too. It has been so long.”

“Hm… I have been denied your warmth but no more.”

“Make love to me?”

“All day and night, my love.”

He pulled you close and kissed you deeply and fervently, lips meeting, tongues brushing. The world around you seemed to fade away, leaving nothing but your love and passion. Clothes were tossed away, skin touched skin, sweat tricked like little diamonds and then came bliss.

i just finished vikings valhalla season2 and i kinda feel like the trailer promised more than we got. all the plotlines kinda felt flat.

how did freydis not emedietly notice that hareker was bad after the first or second incidet were he behaved all cult leader like.

also i am kinda sad that they dropped harald x freydis, i had hoped for an interesting storyline with them and their different faiths.

also why introdus Jorunder, give him that whole storyline about realisind that his uncle is bad, help feydis and then kill him of. out of everyone in this season, he was the one i was routing for, not feydis, not leif, not harald.

at points it felt like there were some ideas for what could happen with the characters and instead of writing and interesting story they kinda just added a few hirdles to fill the episodes, especially with harald and leif. i don't really see any character development in them, in leif even less than in harald. in harald you can atleast see what they were going for.

idk if i am just making things bigger than they are because i feel dissatiafied with the ending of the second season or not. don't get me wrong, i enjoyed the season but i just kinda feel like the plot was not as rich a it could have been.

maybe it comes from the fact that they only had 8 episodes to work with and there for couldn't make the plot as deep and nuanced as they could have had, if the had more episodes to work with.

i just needed to ramble that of

i need Leif to stop fcking women it clearly never ends well

Okay so it might have been me, but I straight up don't understand how sending the ship over the waterfall was supposed to work correctly? Like they obviously didn't save the boat, so why risk everyones life by riding it over the falls? Like what were Harald and Lief thinking coming up with that plan??? Why couldn't they have hiked or climbed down the cliff and continue on from there and not risk the chance of death??? idk someone pls explain bc like why?

[jackoshadows]

hahaha first episode and Freydis is like I rather go be the chosen one instead of your girlfriend and dumps Harald. She’s just so happy when she gets to Jombsborg (Hi Bradley James!). And then the boys go on their road trip as usual. This seems to be repeat of last season with Freydis doing her thing, Leif and Harald are on their usual antics and all the political wheeling and dealing with Emma and Godwin in London.

I fell in love with Vikings: Valhalla so very quickly, and it became one of my absolute favourite shows (do not ask me how many times I watched Season 1).

Getting the chance to review Season 2 for Collider was definitely a highlight of my year so far. Check it out!
