The sexual tension between the songs in your ship/character playlist you added for vibes alone and the songs in your playlist you added for the meaty lyricism that perfectly fits said ship/character

Prayer from the Pagan
I did it I finished it ughhhhh This scene has stuck in my mind for so long and I just thought that something should have been done, so this happened.
And I even wrote a fic for it. Haha. Help.
Some details for archaeology nerds:
The pattern on the pillow is from the circular brooch found in the Pentney hoard, which was located in East Anglia at the time. In contrast of the celtic brooches worn by vikings, which we are more familiar with, this type of brooches were the one anglo-saxon nobles commonly wore. This one was dated around AD800-840, made in Trewhiddle style, popular in the period Alfred lived in, and it is now in the British Museum.
And the cross on the ground is from the pectoral cross found in the Galloway hoard, which at the time was in Northumbria. It was also built in Trewhiddle style, dated around AD900, now in National Museums Scotland, and despite not looking obvious on the picture it was actually made in silver!
And the whole tomb effigy thing—ok, it was not a thing until mid-11th century but since there was one in the tlk universe I just went yolo, lol. I think what the crew took as a reference was the one for Æthelstan, but that was built in 15th century and Æthelstan himself isn’t there, so yeah, that didn’t exist during the time they lived.
More explanation concerning this topic is in the notes of the fic!

The Last Kingdom is a good show but it would be even better if Alfred and Uhtred kissed

@bebbanburged (continued from here)
HE WAS EMBARRASSED — genuinely embarrassed. Alfred was a smart man, and he wasn’t overly naive; he knew Uhtred knew EXACTLY what he was doing, but why? For what purpose? Just to humiliate him, just to MOCK HIM and God? No, he was simply being ridiculous because he ENJOYED it, the little shit.
“YOUR INSOLENCE continues to baffle me, Uhtred.” Shaking his head, Alfred motioned for him to stand up. If he wasn’t going to behave, there was no point in wasting time trying to force him. Uhtred was too stubborn for that. “Rise. I am NOT playing your games today.”

Lo que pasa cuando releo fics Alhtred.
Si me dieran a elegir qué fic sería el siguiente a actualizar, sería uno que releí anoche: donde qué hubiera pasado si Alfred no hubiera detenido a Uttred la primera vez. Mi Lord, cómo iba la tensión y atracción entre esos dos. 😍😍😍
Y no, la imagen no tiene nada que ver con ese fic.

i’ve come up with the most insane crackiest modern AU idea for alhtred that literally no one has asked for and I’m pretty sure I’m not gonna be able to pull it off even a little. @kingslionheart can attest to how unhinged this idea is

The king also needs some rest!
I know it’s probably very ooc but sometimes I just need them to be completely honest to each other and maybe… HAVE A HUG. There aren’t things that can’t be solved by a hug.

You know the trope that people kiss and everything will be better? Well I think they have the opposite thing going on, especially with someone's religious guilt xD

We were bonded, him and I.
He was the man that I could never be, nor did I wish to be.
He was the man I loved and despised...
But it was never less than an honor to serve him.
He was my king.
Messed around and got attached to you
Friends can break your heart too
And I'm always tired but never of you
Alfred's version.
