Tumblr media
It's almost 2023, so I figured I'd share my updated The Last Kingdom fic recs since I have been meaning to do that all year. Below the cut you will find some shippy stuff, some introspective pieces, and a variety of characters featured (several of whom rarely get fanfic). I hope if this post crosses your path you may find a new favorite! I did limit my selection to complete fics, but you can find more recommendations, both works in progress and complete, under my ao3 tlk bookmarks. Happy New Year, and happy reading!

This series is an absolute staple of Aethelflaed x Aldhelm fanfic and I am very grateful for it. Essential reading!

34 and eadith for the prompts
She lays with Finan when her ribs have healed. She knows he wants her, and she wants…not him, but something, and he’s close enough. She wraps her thighs around his hips and stares at the fingers she has buried in his dark hair and pretends he is someone else.
But of course he isn’t. His shoulders are too thick and he talks too much, but if she tries hard, she can almost believe it.
“I can be better,” he pleads when he comes and she does not.
Then why weren’t you? she wants to ask, but she just smiles. It’s not his fault, really.
He isn’t better the second time, but she pretends harder, and that is better.
“Did you like it?” he asks when he lies beside her. “Was it good?”
It was good, but it’s not good enough for her to stay in Mercia.
She uses the silver from Lady Aethelflaed to make her way to her family in Frankia. In Bordeaux, she hitches a cart ride from a dark-haired boy of nineteen or twenty who doesn’t understand a word of her tongue, nor she of his, but he understands well enough when she takes his hand and leads him into the trees. He smells too different, too much like hay and horse, but his dark hair slips so perfectly between her fingers, and he doesn’t object when she cries out another man’s name. He doesn’t understand it’s another man’s name at all.
In Toulouse, her family welcomes her with open arms when they realize who she is and what she’s left behind. They give her a bed and food and clothes and ask for nothing in return. It’s good.
It’s almost too good.
She grows bored, with her nice family in their nice house in this nice city. They don’t want her to trouble herself, they want her to lead a good Christian life, they want her to find a nice man, they want they want they want
Eadith doesn’t know what she wants, but it isn’t this.
And then one day a cousin visits from Paris. He is about her age and looks so like Eardwulf that she cannot help but follow him with her eyes.
This, she decides, is what she wants.
It feels good with him. Not good enough, not too good, just. Good. Just the way she wants it.
“Don’t you get bored here?” he asks her after the second time. She asked for a second time. She wanted to see if it was better.
It was.
“Yes,” she says. “All the time.”
He laughs. “Come with me to Paris. I serve as a healer in the king’s court. You would do well there.”
She knows how he means she would do well there. She has been a mistress to lords and kings before, she has plotted and played games, and she was happier then than she is now with her nice family in their nice house in this nice city.
“You think so?” she hums.
He kisses her forehead, just like her brother used to. “I think you would be very, very good.”

The Dating Game
Note: surprise. I said I wasn't going to post or even write a fic at all today, but this came to me after a nap and I wrote it within a few hours. soooo... this is just a silly little fic that I hope will entertain you.
Warnings: fluff/lightly suggestive.
pairing: Modern!Sihtric x you (f) (slight hint of reader x Modern!Osferth)
summary: Sihtric and Osferth both wanted to win you over by the end of the night.
wordcount: 3k
Masterlist
Tumblr media
You friends Gisela and Eadith couldn't stand the sight of you being miserable anymore. It had been over six months since your last relationship ended, and they felt it was time for you to go out and have fun again. You had been hesitant at first, but soon realised they were right and you agreed to tag along. They made movie reservations and promised there would be cute guys, but you didn't really care about any of that right now, you just wanted a fun night. You only knew Uhtred, as he was Gisela's boyfriend, and you had only heard of the other guys by their names; Finan, Sihtric and Osferth. The plan was to meet up at a pub, play some pool and then go and see the latest horror movie all together. 
You were the last to arrive at the agreed spot, and your friends quickly introduced you to the guys you didn't know yet. Osferth, a cute blond guy, shyly smiled and shook hands with you and you noticed he kept staring at you the whole time after. Finan was dark haired and muscular, he spoke with an Irish accent and gave you a bear hug. He was handsome and friendly, but you could tell he was more interested in Eadith and you couldn't blame him for that. Then there was Sihtric, who had duo-coloured eyes and a haircut that was half shaved off. You weren't sure if you thought he was attractive or incredibly intimidating, but he gave you a tight hug and let his hand linger on your waist when you both pulled back. You felt yourself blush and were happy that Uhtred soon drew everyone's attention when he announced he'd pay for the first round of drinks.
'Did you bring your own wallet?' Gisela asked.
'Of course!' Uhtred smiled, but he later found out that he had in fact not brought his wallet, and Gisela had to pay for it.
The pub was rather quiet and there were several pool tables free to play at. While you enjoyed a drink with Sihtric, Osferth had been trying to gather the courage to ask you to compete against him for the past twenty minutes, but he found it hard to get your attention as Sihtric had never left your side since you were introduced. You didn't mind Sihtric's company, because he turned out to be soft spoken, sweet and funny. Osferth took a step towards you and then back again, and he kept that going for at least five more minutes. Then, when he finally walked up to you and opened his mouth to speak, Sihtric beat him to the question.
'Want to play some pool?' the Dane asked you.
You happily agreed and Sihtric took your hand, walking you to the pool table, much to Osferth's disappointment and he was left with no partner to play with. While Sihtric prepared the table, Osferth saw another chance, and he came up to you as you stood at the side.
'Can I maybe join you guys?' he asked.
Sihtric gave Osferth a hard stare, meaning no, but you felt bad for the shy boy and told him that it was okay. Before the game could begin, you were pulled to the bathroom by your girlfriends to ask you if you were enjoying yourself and if you enjoyed the company.
'I think Sihtric and Osferth like you,' Gisela said as you all checked your hair and make-up in the mirror.
'Really?' you frowned, 'I'm not sure…'
'They totally do,' Eadith grinned, 'Sihtric can't keep his eyes off you, and I haven't seen him smile like that since forever.'
'And Osferth has been gathering all his courage to talk to you,' Gisela chuckled.
While your friends tried to peak your interest in the guys in front of the bathroom mirror, Sihtric walked over to Osferth while holding a cue stick.
'What are you doing?' Sihtric asked and leaned on the stick, towering over Osferth.
'What do you mean?' Osferth asked innocently.
'Dude, you're being a cockblock.'
'What? I'm not-'
'Yes, you are,' Sihtric clicked his tongue, 'why can't you play pool with the others?'
'Because Uhtred gets annoyed when he loses and Finan cheats.'
Sihtric knew Osferth had a valid point, but he still wasn't happy about him joining.
'Fine,' Sihtric eventually said, and he looked at Osferth for a moment, 'do you like her?'
'Who?'
'The new girl,' Sihtric rolled his eyes.
'Oh,' Osferth's cheeks turned bright red, 'I… I don't know, m-maybe, I- I guess- why?'
'Just asking,' Sihtric said, and he cursed under his breath as he walked back to the other side of the table.
And Osferth smiled, because he was very aware of what he was doing, and he wasn't planning on letting Sihtric win this easily.
Tumblr media
Not much later you returned with your friends, and while Eadith and Gisela went back to their own pool partners, the game officially began for Sihtric and Osferth. But their goal was not to win pool, it was to win your heart by the end of the night. And poor Osferth didn't know it yet, but he didn't stand a chance. You thought he was cute, but he wasn't your type, and you just wanted to include him because he was adorable and you wanted everyone to have a fun night. Sihtric was pretty decent at pool, while you and Osferth sucked at it. Sihtric saw the opportunity to teach you some tricks, and so he gladly did while Osferth couldn't do anything other than watch how the Dane got close to you. It was a classic trick in the flirting book; Sihtric stood behind you and helped you to take on a better position, and then he showed you how to hold the cue stick properly while your hands and bodies touched. Osferth gritted his teeth as he watched the scene unfold and he crossed his arms, annoyed. While Sihtric helped you out, he looked up at Osferth and grinned proudly. When it was Osferth's turn again, Sihtric walked past him and slapped his shoulder, hard, 'One-nil,' he said and winked.
You were oblivious to their rivalry, but then you really only had eyes for Sihtric anyway. After a few rounds of playing pool you went to get yourself a drink at the bar. Sihtric was quick to follow you, after he had shoved Osferth back who wanted to attempt that same thing, and he snuck up behind you. He wrapped his arms around your waist and lifted you up, making you squeal lightly in his arms while Osferth could only stand back and watch, again. You giggled when Sihtric put you back down on your feet, and he kept one arm around you as he stood next to you. He leaned on the bar and looked at you, completely smitten, and you knew you had the exact same look on your face. You had never met a guy as breathtaking as him before and you were going to take your chances with him, even if maybe he was only looking for a fling; you were single and looking for a good time.
Sihtric bought you a drink and you both walked back to the pool tables, but you stopped just before the short stairs that led down to the table's floor, and you both decided to have your drinks at a high table that looked out over your friends and the games they played. At first you and Sihtric stood on opposite sides of the table as you had some small talk, but he smoothly moved closer and circled his arm around your waist again after a little while. He pulled you in and it felt almost natural to place one hand on his waist while you nervously played with the straw in your drink that was on the table with your free hand.
'Hey,' Sihtric said and leaned in closer, his warm voice made you melt instantly, 'you okay?'
'Yeah,' you mumbled and smiled shyly.
'Yeah?' he murmured and pulled you flush against him, 'you okay with me?'
'Mhm,' you hummed with reddened cheeks.
Your hand snuck around his waist and under his zipped hoodie, while Sihtric swayed you lightly and he chuckled.
'Yeah?' he asked again, 'you don't mind me? Don't mind this?' he asked, his lips grazing your temple as he spoke.
'I don't mind it,' you smiled, clearly even more shy.
You tried to look away from Sihtric, but he followed you with his eyes and he smiled.
'Oh, don't be shy with me,' he purred and bit down on his lip, then circled his other arm around you as well and almost leaned his forehead against yours.
'Yeah, well,' you mumbled and laughed softly while butterflies rushed through your stomach.
You felt safe and comfortable in his strong arms, and he smelled nice too. Sihtric was more affectionate than anyone you'd ever been with before, but you enjoyed his harmless clingy nature.
He trailed his hands slowly up and down your sides, his mismatched eyes still fixated on you while you looked up at him. The tension grew, and you both slowly leaned in closer until you almost kissed. But just before your lips touched you were both pulled out of your little love bubble when Osferth suddenly cleared his throat next to you. Sihtric looked at his friend, annoyed, and Osferth smiled sheepishly.
'If you guys could finish your drinks,' Osferth said, 'then we can go to the movie theatre.'
'Oh,' you said, a little disappointed by the buzz kill, 'eh, yeah, sure.'
Sihtric only glared at Osferth without saying a word, and you both finished your drinks soon after. Sihtric took out his phone after he had put on his jacket and he suddenly felt nervous when he wanted to ask for your number. He noticed you looked over at him while you grabbed your own coat, and he pretended to be very busy on his phone as he tried to calm his heartbeat. You couldn't help but smile, and your friends hadn't been blind to the chemistry between you and the pretty Danish boy.
'Do you like him?' Gisela asked.
'You don't mind him being all over you?' Eadith asked, 'because that's just how he is.'
'If he's too much you can just tell him,' Gisela added.
'Girls, calm down,' you rolled your eyes, 'everything is fine.'
'More than fine it seems,' Eadith grinned and nudged your elbow.
'Stop it,' you hissed, but your smile betrayed your feelings to your friends.
'He's sweet, just not the brightest,' Eadith then snorted.
'What?' you laughed, 'what do you mean?'
'Well,' Eadith began, but she was hushed by your other friend.
Gisela saw Sihtric walk over and she quickly pulled Eadith with her, away from you, but staying close enough to eavesdrop.
'So,' Sihtric began and cleared his throat, 'eh, would you… I mean, is it okay if like… I… can I have your number?'
You smiled and told him it was okay, and he began to search for his phone. You waited for him to get his phone and watched him search his pockets, but then you noticed he held his phone in his hand already.
'Hold on,' Sihtric chuckled, 'I misplaced my phone,' he mumbled as he searched the inside pockets of his jacket.
'Eh,' you laughed, 'I… think you're holding it?'
'What?'
'You're holding it.'
'Where?' Sihtric frowned, then looked down at his hand, 'oh,' he said, then laughed and shook his head, 'sorry.'
So he was not the brightest indeed, but he was still cute. You gave him your number and your friends gave you a proud smile when you looked at them as you all headed out of the pub. Osferth sulked behind you and Sihtric, and he sighed when he saw the Dane smoothly intertwine his fingers with yours as you crossed the street, and he looked back over his shoulder to mouth 'Two-nil,' to Osferth. You looked up at Sihtric and smiled, after which he let go of your hand and wrapped his arm around your shoulders. You strolled through the city, to the movie theatre, while you and Sihtric continued to chat and got to know a little more about each other.
'Are you excited for the movie?' Sihtric asked as you approached the theatre.
'Not really,' you confessed, to which he laughed.
'You don't like horror?'
'I'm okay with it, just not on the big screen.'
'Scared easily?'
'Yep,' you chuckled.
'Well,' Sihtric shrugged, 'I heard they reserved tickets for the lounge chairs.'
'Lounge chairs?'
'Yeah, you know, I think they're actually called loveseats. It's basically a small couch. So,' he smiled, 'if you get scared you can always hide in my arms,' he winked.
'I might just do that,' you smiled shyly again, and Sihtric was being a gentleman by holding the entrance door open for you.
Osferth was still behind you, and Sihtric was fast to let go of the door so it almost hit Osferth in the face. And Sihtric looked back over his shoulder as he held your hand again, and he mouthed 'Three-nil,' to Osferth with a grin, who huffed in reply.
Tumblr media
Osferth finally saw his chance with you. Sihtric and Uhtred were talking while you and the girls got into a conversation too, and you all walked up to your seats. Gisela was going to sit with Uhtred, everyone knew that, and Eadith sat down next to Finan. As Uhtred excused himself to move past you and the others, to Gisela, you sat down on an empty loveseat and Osferth was quick to sit next to you while you tucked your coat under the seat.
'Oh,' you said, softly, surprised to see that it was not Sihtric who had sat down next to you.
You looked up at Sihtric, who had his jaw clenched and glared at Osferth, Osferth was smirking next to you and held up one finger to him, 'Three-one,' he mouthed. You and Sihtric exchanged eye contact and you shrugged lightly, not knowing how to politely ask Osferth to move without making him feel bad. Sihtric sighed and moved past you, to the last empty seat and he sat down. He looked at Osferth again, who sat on his side, and if looks could kill then Osferth would've been smited right there. You awkwardly sat next to Osferth and you texted Sihtric.
You: sorry, he just sat down :( 
You looked at Sihtric as he read your text, then he looked up at you and shrugged with a smile.
Sihtric: not your fault darling, it's okay…
You: but what if the movie is scary????
Sihtric: oh, I heard it's very scary ;)
Sihtric: I'm afraid you'll have to cuddle up with Osferth
Sihtric watched you read his message, and laughed when he saw you make a face. You grimaced and looked at Sihtric, who laughed and shrugged again. You tried to come up with a way to make Osferth swap seats with Sihtric, but Osferth was only interested in making conversation with you.
'So,' Osferth said, 'do you like horror movies?'
'Not really,' you said.
'Oh, me neither,' Osferth smiled, 'I get scared easily.'
'Oh,' you chuckled awkwardly and swallowed hard.
You looked over at Sihtric, who was laughing as he pulled the neck of his zipped hoodie half over his face to cover up his amusement. He then looked at you and cocked his head, gesturing you to come over and sit with him. You contemplated your options, and then had an idea to make it less painful for Osferth. You scrolled through social media, and when you saw a random meme you held your phone up towards Sihtric.
'Have you seen this one already?' you asked.
Sihtric leaned in and squinted his eyes, knowing what you were trying to do, and he fought a smile.
'I can't see what it says from here,' he said.
'Oh, hold on,' you said and got up, 'I just gotta show him this one photo,' you told Osferth, who said it was okay and didn't think much of it.
But then he saw you sit down next to Sihtric, who immediately wrapped his arm around you and pulled you against his side as he looked at your phone.
'Smooth,' Sihtric chuckled in your ear.
And while you locked your phone and cuddled up even closer, Sihtric looked over to Osferth, who looked bamboozled and slightly annoyed.
'Four-one,' Sihtric mouthed.
Osferth sighed, annoyed once again, and he mouthed, 'Fuck y-', but then the lights went out as the movie was about to start, and he watched the entire movie with a straight face and his arms crossed.
You and Sihtric got cosy, and it didn't take long before the suspense of the movie became too much, and you buried your face in his chest. Sihtric smiled and wrapped both arms around you. Your friends were all captivated by the movie as it went on, except for Osferth, but he refused to watch you and Sihtric all cuddled up. Sihtric lightly stroked your side with his thumb, and when you looked away from the big screen again as the movie showed too much gore for your liking, he smoothly lifted your chin with his fingers and softly nuzzled your nose. You both smiled while the blood splashed on screen, and then he cupped your cheek. Sihtric pecked your lips lightly at first, carefully seeking out how far you wanted to take it, but his light pecks slowly turned into firmer kisses, and you soon french kissed until you both ran out of breath. 
Your friends had all been oblivious to the fact that you and Sihtric were busy sticking your tongues down each other's throats and feeling each other up through your clothes, and he settled his hands on your buttocks after you had pulled your legs up to the couch.
'Cheeky lady,' Sihtric whispered, smiling, when you teasingly rubbed your hand over his bulge and he squeezed your ass, 'maybe we should finish this back at my place?' he said, 'or yours?'
'You want to wait that long?' you teased.
'Well, no,' he chuckled, 'what do you have in mind then?'
'The toilets are quite big here,' you whispered in his ear, and you looked at him to see him bite down a sly smile.
'Lead the way,' he winked.
You held Sihtric's hand as you got up and walked past Osferth, quietly leaving the theatre room to have some fun together in a locked toilet stall, and Osferth gave up when he realised why you two were sneaking out of the movie. He huffed and rolled his eyes at Sihtric, who smiled and mouthed, 'Game over.'

Puppy Boy - Animal Shelter Sihtric Long Fic
Ch 1 - This Fucking Kid
Tumblr media
"Heya kiddo." Finan ruffles his young tennant's hair. Sihtric groans, almost spilling his milk. "I am not a kid, I am 21!" He yells. "You're a kid, kid." Finan chuckles, sitting opposite the young Dane. "How was yer day?" He asks. "A lot." Sihtric murmurs. "Oh?" Finan furrows his brow. "Kinda overstimulated right now." Sihtric replies.
Finan owns a construction company, he's well off and unattached. He lives his best life in a house he built himself and works from his home office. He's Irish and does everything his Catholic upbringing forbids.
Sihtric is all but a decate younger and rents Finan's attic. He works at the local animal shelter and could not be more different from Finan even if he tried. He's shy, peculiar and more often than not straight up bad with people. He gets along much better with the animals he takes care of. And he hasn't had a girlfriend since he was sixteen. He is not at all unattractive, though somewhat dorky and clumsy in the way he dresses. Even the glasses he wears are kind of cute.
"Need to leave ya alone for a while?" Finan asks. He knows how Sihtric is by now. Sihtric peers at his watch. The thing looks like he's had it since he was twelve. "When's Uhtred gona be here?" He asks. Finan throws a glance at the digital clock on the oven. "In half an hour or so." He replies. Sihtric groans softly and gets up. "I'll go take a shower and try to decompress a bit." He says. "Just be down by dinner. And it is okay if you go back up when it gets too crowded." Finan assures him.
Sihtric nods and heads upstairs to shower.
He let's the hot water run over him, pictures it washing him clean from all the stimuli of today. He takes Finan's body wash, liking the scent of it, much better than his own. He can't afford the luxurious products Finan has, but he knows Finan doesn't mind if he uses them from time to time.
Once's he's cleaned up, he allows his mind to wander.
At first, they don't go anywhere in particular, meandering to the pretty woman who adopted one of the bunnies today. Sihtric liked the look of her freckles and full, round breasts. His cock swiftly hardens and his hand wanders south. Groans tumble from his mouth as he strokes himself. His imagination runs wild, picturing warm, full breasts, leaking with milk. "Mama, please." He whimpers, tugging firmly on his cock. "G-gods." He sputters.
He cums quickly, painting the tiled wall of the shower generously with his seed.
He comes down for dinner, find Uhtred, Halig and Leofric already there.
"Hello boy." Uhtred purrs, eyeing Sihtric up and down. Sihtric flushes so brightly his glasses almost fog over. He knows Uhtred well, but never really gets used to the covetous way he's being looked at. Especially considering Uhtred has a wife and kids. "Heya nerd." Halig grins at Sihtric as the youth sits down. Sihtric smiles a small smile at him. Leofric just grunts at him. Leofric is in his 40s, he's got nothing in common with Sihtric. But it's fine, Sihtric does not mind.
Over dinner, Uhtred starts whinging about his employer and Leofric, who works for the same firm, assures Finan it is not that bad. Sihtric just sits by, shoving Finan's superior cooking into his face.
After dinner, the others pile in. Aethelwold, Edward, Aethelflaed and Erik, Haesten, Dagfin, Aldhelm and Aethelred, Eadith and Ragnar and Brida. Sihtric is pretty sure Finan wants to shack up with Eadith. The Irishman can barely keep his eyes off of her.
Sihtric joins in for a few round of whatever card game has been brought out, but quickly gets overstimulated, so retires to his bedroom. Only Aethelwold hassles him for it, but Sihtric doesn't care for that guy's opinion.
He puts his headphones on and listens to Valhalla Calling on repeat for half an hour at first.
He touches himself again after that, his jumper between his teeth, abs glistening with a fine sheen of sweat as he strokes his thick, long cock. He doesn't really fantasize about anything. He just focusses on the feeling of fucking his fist. But of course he can't keep his mind on track. He wonders what it would feel to fuck a warm wet pussy, or a tight hot arse. To just slip into another person's body, feel their heat and pressure. "Oh Gods." He groans. He imagines what it would be like to drown in another person's scent. To press his face between two warm breasts or a firm chest and just inhale. He feels his climax building, his mind wandering further to suckling on hardened, sensitive nipples. To feel fingers rake through his hair and be praised.
It is the undoing of him. He spends himself all over his chest and abs.
It isn't that Sihtric is unattractive and he's had a few girlfriends in high school. He's kissed a boy in a club once. It was the only time he'd ever been to a club. And he made out with Uhtred when he got genuinely wine drunk. But all of that has been at least two years ago. He hasn't gone to a club in aaages. He hasn't made out with anyone in what feels like a decade, which it of course is not.
He's not a virgin, but the first time he's had sex, when he was seventeen, was uncomfortable and he just avoids it now. Not because he does not want to fuck. Gods he wants to fuck and be fucked in return. He has desire in spades. But he gets anxious when he thinks of the discomfort. He isn't even sure what the discomfort stemmed from, all he remembers from the entire ordeal was a fierce rash on his cock, but a clean STI test.
He doesn't have to work weekends. But still he spends all his time at the shelter. The animals never judge him for being odd. And the other people working the shelter got used to him being a bit a lot peculiar by now.
So eh heads out to the shelter saturday morning, after his morning work out. He works out twice a day, before work and before dinner. Working out makes his mind calm. He does the hard labour, bringing in heavy bags of kibble, cleaning the kennels and wrangling the big dogs. The weekend volunteers are very grateful that all they have to do now is feed the animals and socialise them.
After lunch he takes the dog for a run, each in turn. Running makes his head empty too. And the dogs love to get out of the kennel and show their best side. He does not draw too much attention, with his thick glasses and oversized hoodie. No one would suspect those hoodies hide rockhard abs and behind those glasses are mischievous eyes.
"Ah, Sihtric, there you are." One of the volunteers calls out, once he comes back from walking Tusker, a young staffie husky mix.
Sihtric quickly puts Tusker back into his kennel and goes up to the volunteer. "What's up?" He asks gently. The volunteer gestures him to follow into the office. Sihtric obliged, following to the elder lady in charge for today. "What can I do, ma'am?" He asks politely. "I need you to take Pretty to the vet, that hairball has been bothering her long enough now." The elder woman says. "Yes ma'am. I'll grab a carrier." Sihtric says diligently. "No need to, we already have her ready to go." The volunteer mixes in.
So he is brought Pretty, in her carried. "Thanks." He mumbles. Pretty hisses, she is uncomfortable. "Yeah yeah, I know." Sihtric cooes soothingly. He takes the carrier to his beat up old ford. Carefully he secures Pretty on the passenger chair and drives to the vet office in town.
You hear the front door bell chime. A walk in!
"Be right with you!" You cry out, making sure the file you were working on is saved. You get up from your desk and head into the waiting room.
You stand eye to eye with possibly the cutest boy you have ever seen. Holding a crate with the angriest cat you have ever heard. "Hi, who's this?" You ask. crouching before the crate. You peer into the crate, facing a moody calico persian. She hisses at you and you cast your eyes up at her person, waiting for an answer. You gaze up into dual coloured eyes, through glasses that magnify his long lashes. He looks so innocent it almost breaks your heart.
"What's her name?" You ask sweetly.
The youth swallows thickly. "P-pre- .. Pretty." He stammers. "And what is going on with Pretty?" You get back up and smile up at the young man. Fluster dusts his cheeks. "She .. she has a hairball stuck in her tract." He stutters. "Oh goodness, that is why she is so crabby, huh?" You cooe. "No... no, she is always like this." The youth shakes his head.
"How about we start with some paperwork, I'll get Pretty comfortable while you fill it out.¨ You cooe. "Yeah.. s-sure." He nods, extending you Pretty's crate. You take the crate and smile sweetly at him. "Come, follow me." You lead him to the treatment room. He eagerly follows after you.
You pull out some papers, handing them to the young man, while you put the crate on the sterilised table.
"Come here, pretty Pretty." You cooe. The persian hisses. "Alright, you take some bribery, I see." You chuckle. You grab a tube of chicken paste from a drawer and open it, holding it for Pretty to smell. Pretty cranes her neck and takes a little taste. "Good Gal." You cooe, slowly pulling your hand back. Pretty follows along to keep licking the chicken paste.
Sihtric feels his ears burn when he hears you praise Pretty. It unlocks something inside him and his jeans tent. He swears under his breath. This is not a bodily reaction he needs right now. He does his best to will his boner down, but you again praise Pretty for being so cooperative in exchange for yummy snacks. His cock throbs eagerly and he pulls his hoody over his crotch.
"I .. erm..." He has no idea what to say anymore, handing you the paperwork. He pointedly avoids looking you in the eye. "Thanks." You cooe, quickly reading through the form. "Sihtric Kjartansen?" You ask, to verify his name. "Yeah, I work for the local shelter." He replies. "So, Pretty is a shelter cat?" You ask. Sihtric nods. "Y-yeah." He stammers. "Why hasn't she been adopted yet?" You asked. "Cuz she is a bitch to everyone." Sihtric replies. You can't help a soft giggle.
"Now what is going on with Pretty?" You. "Hairball, won't pass. We have tried everything." Sihtric replies. He finds that it is easier to talk when he talks about the animals. Though he can't look you in the eye. "Are you giving her baths?" You ask. "N-no.." Sihtric stammers.

It's the weekend so I'm bringing your Truth or Dare asks back:
🍄🍬🍦
Charlie, I stared at this ask for an hour. I forgot all my ships/pairings, and I'm pretty sure my unpopular opinion is a cop out 😂
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
I think Finan attempted to convince Eadith to stay, maybe more than once, and when she didn't it hurt, that's why it was a little 😬 when she showed back up in Rumcofa.
🍬 ⇢ post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character
Aemond/Eddie/Sihtric isn't a 'dom choking daddy' but I respect peoples creative choices. EDIT - I still read those fics. Like I said, I respect it, just not how I actually view them.
🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate
Viserys, excellent taste in baby mama's, he died, and uhh he isn't real? - I don't know man I've curated my space so well I forget about my hated characters, out of sight out of mind y'know?

Currently watching: just started Peaky Blinders (after watching Oppenheimer I just needed to see something more with Cillian Murphy)
Three ships: OK, this is always hard as I'm not much of a shipper, but tumblr universe has changed a lot within me so here we go: Aethelflaed x Aldhelm, Eadith x Finan and Jacaerys x Cregan (and believe me this is completely unexpected and solely because of a great writer here @sylasthegrim, whose gorgeous fic Blood upon the snow made me fell in love with this ship and a m/m relationship)

Writing Tag Game
Thanks for the tag @lord-aldhelm! :)
About me
When did you start writing? Age 16, during school, but I didn't technically start writing fanfiction until my 20s. I was recovering from a nasty surgery and had nothing but time on my hands and so I started to write as a way to pass the time.
Are there different genres or themes you enjoy reading other than the ones you write? I enjoy reading a lot of horror/thriller books, and law dramas too.
Is there an author you want to emulate, or are compared to often? Oh gosh, that's a tough one! As much as I love Bernard Cornwell, Stephen King, Mari Mancusi, and too many author authors to name, I want to say no, I'm not compared to anyone that I know of, but ultimately I want to still sound like "me" when I write.
Can you tell me a bit about your writing space? I have my own writing office. A desk that I keep with minimal clutter but have made it into a cozy ambiance so when I sit down to write most nights I'm not distracted (much).
What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse? Honestly, most of my muses tend to come to me while either dreaming at night time (random but it happens) or while I'm bored at my day job and letting my mind wander and it starts to go into "What If" mode...
Did the place(s) you grew up in influence the people and/or places you write about? No.
Are there any reoccurring themes in your writing? If so, do they surprise you? Redemption is a troupe I will never get tired of. Also romance!
Characters
Would you please tell me about your current favorite character? I have to pick just one? Lol. Joking aside, Thyra from The Last Kingdom is probably my favorite character right now. She's a woman who's suffered so much torment and abuse and is absolutely the definition of "deserved better." And since Beocca is her husband and I can't bear to separate the two, I would say Beocca/Thyra are a package deal here. But a few close seconds are Jack/Sally (Nightmare Before Christmas) and Finan/Eadith, the ship for The Last Kingdom that should have been and sadly never will be.
Which of your characters would you be friends with in real life? Hmm, definitely Thyra/Beocca, and he'd probably annoy me, but I think I'd get on with Haesten too (TLK) even though he's a weasel on the show, and for Harry Potter, probably my OCs Norah and Ollie Black from my Harry Potter fanfics as well, I think we'd get on great. Oh, and Jack/Sally from my Nightmare Before Christmas fics.
Which characters would you dislike the most if you met them? Aethelwold, Tidman (Last Kingdom), Voldemort (Harry Potter)
Tell me about the process of coming up with your characters? Most of them are already made for me but for the few OCs I have, I tend to just find pictures I like online of people that I think fit the image of the character I have in mind, and then I build a character sheet for him/her and go from there. (sort of like a character sheet for DnD)
Do you notice any reoccurring themes/traits in your characters? Anger management issues (Beocca!), stubbornness, and perhaps a little naive (definitely Thyra and Sally for sure),
How do you picture your characters? I'm a big fan of Mood Boards on Pinterest but I also dabble a little in Photoshop and make my own character manips/images to use to have pulled up to look at while I write in their POVs. It might sound odd but it helps me imagine their look while I write and also to get into their headspace.
My writing
What’s your reason for writing? To fulfill a void the canon source material left in my heart or just because I came up with a "What if this happened" instead of the way that it did in canon.
Is there any specific comment or type of comment from readers that you find particularly motivating? Any and all comments are welcome, especially at this time when comment culture in fandom, at least for fanfics, has definitely changed since I've been a part of it!
How do you want to be thought about by your readers? As a good writer? Lol, not really sure how to answer this one. Hopefully good and that my stories made them happy if they enjoyed them!
What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer? Angst and drama
Have you been told is your greatest strength as a writer is by others? Angst and writing character voices true to their forms
How do you feel about your own writing? Most of the time I feel like it's okay, but I do have spells where I look at chapters and think I could improve that or do better next time and then I struggle not to totally overhaul what I already have posted lol, a curse for me, honestly. I'm constantly working to improve. I suck at smut/fight scenes though, I would say those are my two biggest weaknesses.
If you were the last person on earth, would you still write? Yes, if only to keep myself company and maybe read my stories out loud.
When you write, are you influenced by what others might enjoy reading, do you write purely for yourself, or is it a mix of both? I write purely for myself and I treat where I post as an archive of sorts, with the mindset that I put them there where they'll be safe if something ever happens and my computer goes on the fritz, but if others happen to come along and enjoy the content I create, then that's an added happy bonus!
Feel free to play along! @holy3cake; @silverhyenaart; @foundtherightwords

Ily 😘
eeee, so many! Thank you! 😘
🥐 ⇢ name one internet reference that will always make you laugh
This is really obscure, but my friend and I were obsessed with a Clickhole quiz called Which One of My Garbage Sons Are You? - to this day we still quote it to each other and lines like “I don’t cry, I Saab” make me belly laugh.
🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings
Eadith and Osferth decided to elope together after she’d returned and he confirmed she did not yet have a husband. They spend their days foraging and doing the Saxon version of tantric sex.
🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?
The sexual organs of female reptiles for my Vhagond crack fic.
🍦 ⇢ name three good things about a character you hate
Softness, maternal/paternal instincts and goofiness. I just don’t enjoy fluff in general, so while those are all pleasant qualities, I don’t enjoy reading or writing about them.

Yes! I have a dog, a corn snake and a black telescopic eyed goldfish. Here’s the dog!

Is your recent Eadith & Eardwulf post supposed to be romantic? Because some of the lyrics/quotes imply that. And the second last photo is a bit hey hey 😬
They're SIBLINGS! Why am I seeing some posts imply differently...and some fics too, its disgusting. Especially the way that he treated her. He was abusive and toxic towards Eadith and put her in uncomfortable positions. He was a awful brother! Why are some people excusing that and downplaying how freaking abusive he was and changing his personality in fics to a "loving" brother...
Okay so I am going to assume you are being serious and not ironic or sarcastic.
I personally don't ship Eadith and Eardwulf. I think they have a really interesting, toxic dynamic which I thought suited the lyrics of the song. I have no agenda here. But if people want to interpret it as romantic I am 100% cool with that. I left it open to interpretation.
The lyrics I chose are from a song which is about a romantic relationship, however I think the lyrics work either way. And the second last photo you refer to is a screen from the show, I haven't altered it at all apart from the colours and cropping it a little so not sure why that's my problem.
We are all fully aware they are siblings but this is fiction, not real life. I suggest you chill out. I read/write stories which include things like rape and murder, me doing this is not me saying it's okay in real life.
I don't think you understood the song I chose if you think I am excusing Eardwulf or downplaying how abusive and toxic he was. The lyrics are literally about the man forcing the woman to do too much/things she's not comfortable with and manipulating her, and the woman wondering if the 'love' they have is really worth it. I personally think the line 'for someone I thought was my saviour, you sure make me do a whole lot of labour' suits them and their toxic relationship (either sibling or romantic) very well = he's her brother, someone she thinks she can trust and yet he's asking/forcing her to do all this shit for him.
You really did not need to send in this ask. If you don't like what I have made, keep scrolling. Ignore it. If you have a problem with me, block me. I don't care. Coming into my asks and whining about me 'excusing' abuse and incest in a fictional relationship which has no effect on the real world when if you had any kind of reading comprehension or critical thinking you'd know that wasn't what I was doing at all is frankly childish and you should grow up.

9 & eadith x alfred 😏😏
(you can include aelswith & eardwulf if you like)
Eadith comes to him when he is alone in his study, bringing him the tea of mint and fennel that always settles his stomach.
“It tastes different tonight,” he comments as he sips at it.
“Just a little something I added for flavor.” She tidies his desk, bending over and reaching across the table to reach his quills.
He looks away, trying not to stare.
“Lord,” she says slowly, turning to face him. “I wondered…if you might reconsider the matter of sending my brother away.”
He sighs, setting down the tea. “Eadith—“
“I know what we did was wrong,” she says, lowering her eyes in shame. “But to send him away when we are all that each other has in the world…”
He takes her hand, softening. “Come now, you have Lady Aelswith and me.”
She smiles. “That is true.” She surprises him by sitting on his lap, something she has not done since she was much smaller. She winds her arms around his neck, resting her head against his. “You have always been like a father to me.”
“Yes,” he says, his voice hoarse as he feels her thigh pressing against him. He feels disgusting. She does not know what she is doing. She is not even doing anything. He is a sinner, a lecher, and she was the child put into his care and whom he has failed, whom he will fail if he—
“You have always shown me so much affection,” she continues, her hand resting on the bare skin of his collarbone. Her thigh presses against him again, wriggling, and he finds himself gripping the arms of his chair. “Is it any wonder I have been…over-generous with my own affections?”
“Eardwulf is your brother,” he reminds her.
“Yes,” she murmurs, shifting on his lap until she is straddling him, her center pressed to his. “And you are my father.”
“Eadith,” he says, his voice rising in panic.
She grips his shoulders as she grinds herself against him, her center warm and soft even through their clothes. His eyes flutter closed despite himself, his hands gripping the arms of the chair even harder as he wills himself not to stretch all the way to fullness.
“Eadith…”
She keeps grinding against him, her hips canting towards a release he fears may find him at any moment.
“How can my father punish me for that which he taught me?” she whispers in his ear.
His eyes fly open. “I did not teach you this.”
“No?” Her head tilts as she leans back, her hips still rocking against his, still drawing him to the edge, inch by inch. “But who will believe you? The king who was struck down by infirmity of the body because of his incurable lust, spilling his seed all over his pretty young ward when they were alone in his study together.” She clucks her tongue, rocking her hips with renewed energy.
“Enough!” He tries to get up, but she pins him to the chair with surprising strength.
“Send for Eardwulf,” she says with eerie calm, “and this will never happen again.”
He presses his lips together. He does not like the idea of bringing home Eardwulf; but he likes the idea of Eadith getting him into trouble with Aelswith and the rest of the court even less. “Very well; I will send for him to return.”
She smiles, climbing off of his lap. “I knew you would see sense.”
He sits up, straightening out his robes. “But there can be no more incidents in the stables.”
She smoothes out her dress, her smile widening. “Do not worry.” She kisses his cheek, sending a shiver down his spine. “I will be a very good girl.”

Note: requested by @sahanna! This is my first werewolf au, and I did some research, but please know I may have gotten some things wrong, or changed some details that may not be correct/make sense. As a vampire girlie; werewolves are not my thing, and I am not big with knowledge on them, beside the basics. But I do think this fic turned out cute! Hope you'll enjoy it :)
Warnings: suggestive/fluff. quick mention of blood. and, uh, yeah, werewolf things.
pairing: Werewolf!Sihtric x you (f)
summary: Being a werewolf and having a love life was not as easy as Sihtric hoped it would be.
wordcount: 4,6k
Masterlist
Tumblr media
'Sorry. I only wanted to play.'
Tumblr media
If Skade couldn't have Sihtric, then no one would, she thought. She had been in love with him since highschool, but he never shared the same feelings for her. Skade was always interested in witchcraft and the likes, and as she grew older, she became quite the powerful witch.
And one night, when a cold wind made the tree branches dance in the pale light of the full Moon, she saw the love of her life again, years after they graduated, at a party. He wasn't a boy anymore, he was a stunning man now, with short hair, the sides shaved, and a few tattoos on his skin. She had desperately tried to get his attention, but he wouldn't have any of it. 
Instead, he hung around with the people who used to be popular back in their highschool days; Uhtred, Finan, Gisela, Osferth, Eadith, Brida and Ragnar. Uhtred, Finan, Osferth and Sihtric were called the pretty boys, and when they were younger, everyone in their school either wanted to be them or be with them. And they all had grown up to be nice, gentle and good looking people. And as Skade couldn't get any attention from the short haired Dane, she decided to curse Sihtric. 
Without his knowledge, Sihtric had ruined Skade's life, as she never got over him, and she was about to ruin his.
When the next full Moon would appear, Sihtric would find out he was a werewolf.
Tumblr media
Naturally, it had been a shock to Sihtric. He knew the world was full of creatures of the night, but he never thought he'd become one of them. And it had been a struggle. Uhtred, Finan and Osferth had done everything in their power to reverse the curse, but there was no such thing. Sihtric simply had to learn how to live with it, and it hadn't been easy, but eventually he adapted. It took him years to figure out how to control himself, for the most part at least. 
During the full Moon, he'd change, which was simply inevitable. And each full Moon, Uhtred, Osferth and Finan helped him through it. They would lock Sihtric up in the shed behind his house, which was made werewolf proof. Sihtric would be chained up and kept in check for three days; one day before the full Moon, the day of the full Moon, and one day after, when she gradually started to wane. It had been rough at first, but now it was just a routine. 
Because Sihtric wasn't turned into a werewolf by another werewolf, but through a curse, Sihtric was an Alpha without a pack. It was just a glitch in the curse, he realised later, but he was glad he wasn't an Omega, a low in rank werewolf. At least he was respected by the few werewolves he'd come across sometimes.
Despite everything, Sihtric managed to enjoy his life, for the most part, as a regular person. Except… it wasn't that regular. His hearing had improved after he got cursed, as had his eyesight and his ability to pick up scents. Usually, Sihtric only turned during the full Moon, or if he was really angry, the latter he had learned to control. But another issue was that some of his wolf traits appeared when he'd get over excited. Which resulted in his love life being an absolute disaster. Ladies thought Sihtric was handsome, with his stylish haircuts, those mismatched puppy dog eyes, his smooth voice with the Danish accent and his loyal behaviour. But when things would get a little hot and heavy in bed, and Sihtric would suddenly snarl or his eyes would glow a bright red colour, they'd run and never call him again.
And so, Sihtric saw years of his life pass by without having a love interest, and it wasn't doing him any good.
Tumblr media
'I just really need someone,' Sihtric sulked, again, 'I feel lonely, Finan. You all got married, even have kids, and I'm… I'm still looking for my soulmate.' 
Sihtric raked his tattooed fingers through his long hair and let his head fall back onto his couch. He had so much love to give, but no one who could handle it or return the love to him.
'I understand being a werewolf and all isn't easy, but, Sihtric,' the Irish man said, 'you're not really a chick magnet either,' he gestured at the Dane.
'What is that supposed to mean,' Sihtric scoffed.
'Look at you!' Finan chuckled, 'the long, messy hair, those worn out sweatpants-'
'Long, messy hair is apparently in style,' Sihtric remarked.
'Also, is that toothpaste on your shirt?' Finan squinted his eyes.
Sihtric looked down at his shirt. 'Could be,' he said.
'Look, I told you this a million times already,' Finan sighed, 'try one of those-'
'Dating apps, yeah, yeah,' Sihtric huffed, 'I tried them, and it never worked. I only attract those vampire girls. And everyone knows werewolves and vampires do not match! Look,' he sighed, 'you don't understand how much it hurts when I'm in… in heat, okay? It literally hurts, it aches through my entire body.'
'Okay,' Finan said, calmly, 'just… try again. One more time, right now. Get your phone out.'
Sihtric groaned, but he was desperate, so he gave in without much objection. Besides, it had been years since he tried a dating app. Finan took his phone and searched through the app store, and then smiled.
'They have one for werewolves now!' 
'What?' Sihtric asked, 'really?'
'Yeah!' Finan gave Sihtric his phone back.
A lot had changed over the years, Sihtric thought, and he wasn't suddenly all too hopeless about it anymore. A dating app just for werewolves? Maybe he'd finally find someone. 
Finan helped Sihtric look a bit more presentable and took a few photos of the Dane for his dating profile. Finan captured Sihtric with his messy, wild hair, then with his hair tied back in a bun, and a few shots after Sihtric had quickly braided his hair, all with different outfits too.
'You gotta show them you can pull off any look,' Finan had said after Sihtric grumbled when he unbraided his hair again.
'Okay, and now one more photo without a shirt,' Finan said at last.
'What? Why?'
'Jesus Christ, Sihtric, the ladies want to know what they can expect.'
Sihtric muttered under his breath and took off his shirt, and Finan whistled, riling him up.
'Stop that!' Sihtric snarled.
'Hey! I only meant well,' Finan rolled his eyes, 'at least you've been working out,' he said and took a quick picture when Sihtric didn't expect it, which turned out to be a good one.
When Sihtric had uploaded the recent photos, he sighed with frustration again.
'I never know what to put in the bio,' he said, staring at his phone.
'How about…' Finan thought, 'good boy is looking for his soulmate.'
'Good boy?' Sihtric glared at his friend.
'Okay, guess not,' Finan grimaced, 'what about; handsome werewolf wants to make his own pack.'
Sihtric became more agitated, his nose slightly twitching as his breathing became heavier.
'Okay, okay, sorry,' Finan said quickly, 'just write something that explains your personality, here, give me your phone.
Without awaiting Sihtric's answer, Finan snatched the phone out of Sihtric's hands and started typing. Without Sihtric's permission he launched the dating profile, and so Sihtric was officially on the werewolf market.
'What did you write?'
'Loyal, caring and passionate lone wolf, looking for his soulmate who wants to go out on play dates and eventually settle down with pups,' Finan smiled.
And then Finan got up, slapped Sihtric on his shoulder and wished him luck before he left out the door.
At first Sihtric wanted to delete the bio Finan had written, but as he didn't expect any reaction anyway, he quickly forgot about it and went to bed.

Sihtric's phone buzzed early in the morning, waking him up, and he almost jumped out of bed when he saw someone had sent him a so-called wolf whistle on the dating app. Sending a wolf whistle meant that someone really liked your profile, and wanted to get in contact. He rubbed his eyes and checked the profile of his admirer, and he saw; you.
'This has to be a scam,' Sihtric mumbled as his eyes scanned your profile.
Your pictures were simply breathtaking, and your personality seemed to match his. Sihtric couldn't believe it, and even though he expected you to never actually write to him, he accepted your request. And only minutes later another message popped up on his screen.
You: hi!
You: thank you for accepting me :) 
You: I really liked your profile… we have a lot of things in common it seems and I think you're cute. I'd love to meet up.
Sihtric stared at his phone, suddenly feeling nervous. He typed and deleted several messages, and then finally hit send.
Sihtric: hi yourself, thank you for your message. I'd be more than happy to meet a cute wolfie such as yourself :) 
'Wolfie?' Sihtric groaned after he had replied.
He thought he already fucked up and expected you to block him, so he was surprised when he received a blushing emoji from you, as well as a suggestion to meet up on saturday.
And Sihtric anxiously, and a little desperately, counted down the days until the weekend.
Tumblr media
'Is this alright?' Sihtric asked, a little nervous, as he video called Finan before he had to leave the house, showing his outfit in the mirror.
Sihtric was wearing a black, ripped skinny jeans with black boots underneath, he had on a comfy, crimson coloured hoodie and a black beanie to top it off, with his shoulder length hair sticking out underneath. He had trimmed his facial hair into a well kept goatee and a hint of eyeliner accentuated his mismatched eyes.
'Yes, mate!' Finan smiled proudly, 'you look handsome, go get that lass.'
And after Sihtric got all hyped up by Finan, he left for his date, to meet you. You had agreed to meet at the park, around noon, and Sihtric made sure to be a little early, so he could monitor the surroundings already. 
He waited for about fifteen minutes, and then he suddenly laid eyes on you, as you walked over to him from across the park. Sihtric perked up as he sat on the wooden bench, his back completely straight, his chin slightly tilted upwards, and his eyes were locked with yours. Sihtric thought you looked ravishing in your white hoodie, those black hot pants with the fishnet tights underneath and your knee high black boots. You both felt a smile tug at your lips, a light blush settled on your faces, and Sihtric softly whined when he caught your scent. 
He jumped up, impatiently, wanting to get closer to you as fast as he could, and you felt an overwhelming excitement grow inside you when the handsome man closed in on you. You both speeded up your walking pace, and when you finally stood in front of each other, you stared up at each other, not entirely sure what to do now that you were finally in close.
'I- I'm Sihtric,' he said, his big eyes darting over your face.
'I know,' you giggled, and you felt a little lightheaded at the pleasant sight and smell of your date.
Without saying another word, you fell into an embrace. Sihtric held you tightly in his strong arms, and he struggled to contain himself. As did you; you felt the pressure inside you growing stronger, and you desperately fought your claws coming out when Sihtric let out a soft, sweet whine as he breathed in your scent, which you heard all too well. And your heart simply melted when you saw Sihtric's shy face, while holding your hands after you had both pulled away.
You looked up at him, and both your eyes showed a sudden, quick glow, his red, yours golden, making you both chuckle shyly. Sihtric carefully took your chin and pressed a soft kiss to your cheek, after which he gave your jaw a sweet and quick rub with his own. You heard how he breathed in your scent again and you saw how he smiled. Then he pulled you in for another hug, and you nuzzled his neck gently, breathing in Sihtric's scent, which simply made you feel at home.
'So,' you said after a moment, 'you want to take a walk around the park?'
'I will gladly go for a walk with you,' Sihtric smiled.
And ever since that first embrace, Sihtric kept your hand in his, fingers intertwined.
'Do you mind telling me why a stunning she-wolf like you is single?' Sihtric asked as you strolled around.
'Oh,' you chuckled, 'well, I… I'm not part of a pack,' you admitted shyly, 'I really am a lone wolf, so to speak. I was turned when I was young, the Alpha died quite some time ago. I used to be in a pack, but when I refused to date the new Alpha male, because he was an ass, I was more or less driven away.'
Sihtric looked at you with his big eyes. 'I'm sorry that happened,' he said.
'It's okay, it's been a long time ago,' you smiled, 'I don't even care about those ranks anymore. I just want someone who understands me and accepts me. Sure, I like Alpha males,' you shrugged, 'but I can be a little dominant too sometimes, and not all Alphas like that.'
Sihtric hummed thoughtfully and smiled.
'But what about you, handsome?' you asked.
'Eh,' Sihtric sighed, 'well, I wasn't turned by another werewolf. I was cursed.'
'Oh, goodness,' you stopped walking and stared at your date, 'h-how long?'
'Quite a lot of years now,' he said, 'I have fully adapted. But… I've only dated humans, to be honest. And that never worked out,' he chuckled, 'only earlier this week I found out about that dating app.'
'I also only recently found out,' you grinned, 'I guess that was just meant to be.'
Tumblr media
After a nice, long walk in the park, you and Sihtric grabbed a drink and sat down near the river. Ever since Sihtric had laid eyes on you, he couldn't keep them off you, occasionally having his mismatched eyes glow up at you, and you thought he was to die for.
Sihtric was so handsome, you thought. He looked a little rough, with his lean body and the scars on his face, but you quickly learned he was a sweetheart who just really wanted to find a mate to settle down with.
'How do you deal with the full Moon?' Sihtric asked as he opened your drink for you.
'Oh, I turn,' you laughed, 'fully. It's not a good look,' you snorted, 'but, eh, when I was young I was taught early on how to restrain myself. So I just lock myself up in my bathroom. You?'
'I have to restrain myself too,' Sihtric said, 'and I also fully turn. I have some human friends who always chain me up in my shed,' he laughed softly.
'Really? That's so nice of them. Great friends you have,' you smiled, 'but, hey, maybe we can chain each other up sometime.'
'Yeah, maybe,' Sihtric chuckled, then bit down on his lip as he smiled at you, his eyes glowing again.
'Do you turn when there's no full Moon?' you asked when you saw his red eyes appear, indicating that he was fighting something inside of him.
'Well, sometimes when I'm really excited, I sort of half turn,' Sihtric said, 'I'm not sure if that's a common thing or… or a problem.'
'Oh,' you chuckled, 'it's not a problem. That happens to me too sometimes.'
You continued to talk for hours on end, and when you both got hungry, you decided to get some takeaway and you joined Sihtric to his house, as he lived closer to the park than you. You enjoyed each other's company, and even if you both didn't say the words, you more or less already knew you two were soulmates. There was no denying. And when you stayed after dinner, to watch a really bad horror classic on tv, you both started to slowly allow your inner wolves to explore each other.
At first you had nestled against Sihtric's side, to which he let out a soft, sweet and excited whine. And when you looked up at him, Sihtric perked up, staring down at you, and his big, warm hands cupped your cheeks. He brought his face closer to yours, getting drunk on your pleasant scent as he leaned in, and he slowly nuzzled your nose. You faintly whined as you smiled at his touch, and you moved your hands up to his neck, softly caressing his skin with your fingertips, trying to soothe him as you felt he was really fighting his urges.
'You okay?' you whispered, after Sihtric let out a soft growl.
'Yeah,' he hummed and continued to softly nuzzle your face, 'you just… you,' he sighed, 'make me really excited.'
'You make me really excited too,' you smiled, and your eyes lit up when they met Sihtric's soft, puppy dog eyes, 'I just feel like, as if… you're my soulmate.'
'I feel the same,' Sihtric breathed, 'and I… may I- can I kiss you?'
You nodded with a shy smile, and it felt as if the world around you stopped when Sihtric carefully held your face and pressed his soft lips against yours. And you both softly whined when he broke the kiss. You pulled Sihtric in again, kissed his cheek, and then lightly rubbed your jaw against his, before you nuzzled his face and neck, to which Sihtric hummed with a satisfied smile.
And then, reluctantly, you had to tell Sihtric you should be heading home soon, as it was getting late and you had to work early in the morning.
'I will drive you home,' Sihtric said, being fully aware you could take care of yourself, 'I don't want you to take a bus at this hour.'
And you happily accepted his protective nature.
Tumblr media
'Will I see you again?' you asked when Sihtric pulled up at your house.
'I hope so,' he smiled, 'I had a really good time with you.'
'Me too,' you smiled and held your arms open, inviting a hug.
Sihtric pulled you in, his jaw softly rubbing against yours again, and he whined when you pulled away.
'Sorry,' he said, a little embarrassed.
'Don't be,' you smiled and looked up into his glowing eyes, 'I think your accidental whines are really cute.'
'Oh,' Sihtric chuckled and looked away from you, 't-thanks.'
You kissed his cheek and then quickly pecked his lips before you got out of his car. And when you were both home, in your own beds, you both couldn't stop your constant whining at the thought of each other. And a second date was quickly planned.
Tumblr media
You met up at the park again, a few days later, but this time in the evening, after work. Sihtric perked up again when he caught your scent, and when his eyes found you, he jumped up and ran over to you. 
You loved the way he looked with his grey jeans and black sweatshirt, his hair messy and loose. And he loved the way you looked in your black skinny jeans with a black hoodie. 
And in his excitement, he accidentally knocked you over. You pulled him with you as you fell down onto the grass, Sihtric landing on top of you and you both whined at each other's scent and warmth.
'H-hi,' you giggled, composing yourself while looking up into his big, glowing eyes.
'Hi,' he said, excitedly, and rubbed his jaw up against your cheek before he kissed your lips softly. 'I- I missed you,' Sihtric said, suddenly looking shy.
'I missed you too,' you smiled, 'but you, mister big bad wolf,' you grinned, 'have to be more careful. You're much taller and stronger than me,' you chuckled, 'you can't just jump up on me like that.'
'Sorry. I only wanted to play,' Sihtric said with a sly smile.
'Play?' you laughed and gave him a sudden shove, pushing him off you.
'Yeah,' Sihtric grinned and tilted his head to the side when he crawled back up to you, 'play.'
You looked at him, and then you jumped up, pushing him over in the grass, where you rolled around for minutes, laughing, kicking and kissing. Until Sihtric suddenly froze at a sound. He snapped his head towards the faint rustling of leaves not far away from where you were lying in the grass.
'Rabbit,' Sihtric perked up, and his eyes grew wide.
And that's how you found out that Sihtric was not in control of everything that comes with being a werewolf. You could easily ignore the rabbit, as you were purely focused on your wolf mate right now. But Sihtric jumped up like a puppy, eyes fixated on the rabbit, and you had to chase after him as he basically dived into the bushes, following the tiny, furry animal.
After the cute, but tiring chase, Sihtric went back home with you this time. And it was almost a repeat of your first date. But before you ate some food, you picked out the small twigs and leaves from Sihtric's wild hair, which he earned after his sudden rabbit chase, and then you both cuddled up on your couch. But instead of watching tv, you just switched the radio on, and before you could sit back down, Sihtric caught you in his arms and pulled you down to him.
'Wolfie,' Sihtric smiled at you with heavy-lidded eyes as you straddled his lap, 'I think I need you by my side,' he whispered, 'to keep me in check sometimes.'
'I think so too,' you smiled.
Sihtric rubbed his hands slowly up and down your thighs, and his scent betrayed how eager he was for you. You felt a little too eager as well, and you captured his lips into a soft kiss, after which you kissed his cheek and jaw, and then you nuzzled his neck, pressing soft kissing onto his skin.
'That feels really good,' Sihtric sighed, and his hands moved up to your waist, slightly squeezing your clothed skin, 'please, don't… don't stop,' he pleaded, almost desperately, 'I know we only just- just met but I… I want to- need to mark you.'
'Sihtric,' you breathed heavily, your claws lightly digging into his neck as you kissed him lustfully, 'please,' you whined.
Sihtric growled and picked you up in his strong arms. He carried you up to your bedroom, where you wasted no time in tearing off each other's clothes, and you both clawed into each other's skin as you made out on your bed. Soft whines and heavy growls from the both of you filled the air. His big, warm hands moved over your bare back, while your hands were up in his wild hair. You sucked and bit each other's lips in between kisses and smiles. Then, Sihtric flipped you on your back with ease, and lowered his muscular body down onto you. You whined at his touch and the feeling of his hot breath on your skin as he breathed down your neck.
'You're the one I've been searching for,' Sihtric breathed playfully in your ear.
He kissed your neck and shoulders sweetly, and you heard his growl when he licked your neck, before he bit down into your soft flesh to mark you. You moaned and hissed at the feeling of his sharp teeth, and your claws dug into his muscular back. Sihtric was quick to kiss you with his blood stained lips, and he moaned into your mouth when you allowed his tongue to enter. His claws accidentally shredded your bedsheets when it became evident to him that you wanted more. The smell of wanting to mate was all over you, despite not being in heat, and you both thanked your human traits for that while you thanked your werewolf traits for knowing you couldn't get pregnant right now.
'Want to- want to mate, Sihtric,' you moaned against his lips, 'need to fuck.'
'I know,' Sihtric breathed, desperately, 'are you sure you wish to be mine?' he asked, his big eyes staring down at you, even though he already knew there was no other way. You were his. You were meant to be his. You belonged together.
'Yes,' you smiled, 'I want to be yours. I need to be yours.'
Sihtric smiled, nuzzled your nose with a soft hum, and then smoothly pushed inside you. You exhaled sharply at the feeling and raked your claws down his back as he leaned his forehead against yours, earning a strangled growl from him.
'Gods,' Sihtric moaned, 's-so good,' he stammered, and started to thrust into you.
'Oh, fuck,' you moaned with a smile, your head falling back onto your pillows as Sihtric gradually quickened his pace.
You wrapped your arms around his neck, keeping him close, neither of you able to stop your eyes from glowing as you looked at each other. You felt your fangs appear, like Sihtric's, just before he marked you. He bared his teeth when you pulled his hair, and he snarled at the pleasing sight of you moaning and squirming underneath him, while he finally got to fuck someone like the beast that he is.
'Such- such a good boy to me,' you moaned.
Sihtric growled, hard. He usually hated when someone called him a 'good boy'. But from your lips, it simply drove him wild. He fucked you for hours, hard and intense, but full of love and admiration. And after you both came with a loud, heavy moan, which more sounded like a howl, you laid down next to each other, completely worn out.
When you both somewhat came back to your senses again, Sihtric pulled you in his arms, softly pecking your face all over in between soft nuzzles, and he whispered sweet nothings to you for a while.
'My wolfie now,' Sihtric smiled, finally having what he so desperately had longed for; someone to love. Someone who understands him and someone who could love and handle him, all of him.
'I'm all yours, my little Alpha,' you smiled and kissed the tip of his nose, to which Sihtric softly whined.
He buried his face in your neck, not being able to get enough of your scent, and he rubbed his jaw all over your exposed skin.
'I will always protect you,' Sihtric whispered, looking up at you as his chin rested upon your shoulder, 'I promise, wolfie.'
'I know,' you smiled, 'I can feel it. Your emotions seem to be as strong as mine, which is good.'
'Mhm,' Sihtric hummed, 'but I'm not sure if I will allow you to read my thoughts,' he laughed, 'could be risky.'
'I don't need to read your thoughts to know you're thinking about humping me again,' you chuckled, ruffling his hair as Sihtric blushed. 'But I agree,' you said, 'let's keep that human trait and stay away from reading minds, it usually doesn't do much good.'
Sihtric agreed with a soft hum and kissed your cheek. And after you had both cleaned yourselves up, you snuggled up in between your shredded blankets, nestled against each other.
'Next weekend,' Sihtric said as you both stared out of your bedroom window, up to the clear, starry night sky, 'the Moon will be full again,' he said, and kissed your forehead.
'Mhm,' you hummed, smiling as you enjoyed the tenderness of your Alpha wolf mate.
'And… I was wondering… if you wanted to, maybe, uhm, howl at the full Moon with me?' Sihtric asked with a shy smile.

I need someone to reccomend me Osferth×any of his family that isn't recognized as family because he was SO FUCKING SWEET with Aethelstan and Aelfwynn I need to know what a conversation between him and them would be like, or even Edward and Aethelflead because they're his siblings. I just really need it. I don't care if it's in oneshot/fanfiction form or hc form I just need it please and thank you.
Like please oh my god in like season 3 (I think) he seemed annoyed and possibly a bit jealous when Edward and Aethelflead were around, especially when Edward mentioned his and Aethelfleads being siblings in that one scene. This mf huffed and puffed his way outta that situation you CANNOT TELL ME HE WASNT JEALOUS OR ANNOYED. And he was so fucking sweet eith Aelfwynn when she was sick like WE ALL SAW HIM HOLD HER HAND AND GET SUPER WORRIED BUT at the same time he couldn't be overbearing and tell Eadith to stop because he's a bastard and she's not his family by any right.
And then he was like a brother to Aethelstan in s5, you could tell he cared about him.
But anyway I really need those fic reccomendations whether they're on here or something else, I don't even care if it's bad I just really need it.
