Artwork Countdown to Christmas Challenge!
Everyone… guess what.
I’ve been fiddling around about what to do for the holidays, and I’ve got a genius idea.
A “Countdown to Christmas” Art Challenge!
So here’s how it goes- you select 24 of your followers (The 25th being you, cause you’re beautiful and unique in your own special way) and you draw a character from one of the fandoms each follower is in! Here’s mine! And don’t worry- you can either draw them in Christmas themed wear or in their standard outfits doing a holiday activity!

Some creators I recommend!!
@milla-a-punk-penguin -
Seriously, she’s got some friggin talent! I’m in love with Milla’s style and I definitely think she’s going places! Her AatA comics are so sweet, definitely give her page a look!
Also she animates??? Icon???
@ben-the-hyena
Ben was super welcoming to me when I first joined the AatA fandom. Her comics are hilarious, her penwork is gorgeous, and her style is phenomenal. She’s the heart of the fandom 💙
@an-island-of-bunnies
I have been following Skaroy for quite a while now and His comics never fail to make me smile. He makes animation memes and comics, and the colors he uses complement each other wonderfully! Not to mention that his OCs are all rays of sunshine.
@lacemi
Where do I even start omg..
This artist uses a wonderful blend of cartoonish/realistic style. Their work is beautiful and I admire their patience when creating such detailed peices! Their OCs provide wonderful representation of those with mental illness that is often overlooked in media. Much love ��️
@yamino / @elastigale
Yamino’s ambition to drive the detailed characterization of characters with minor appearances is amazing. She takes the chance to provide LGBT representation to many characters that are seen as role models to fans. Her work with Voyd inspires me tremendously (being trans myself) and I could not thank her enough for that.
@sammiesquirrel
This artist toonish style is so pleasing to look at! Their use of color in a seemingly colorless world is astonishing. They have the most loveable OCs ever. If you are into the Rubberhose/20’s animation style I 100% recommend checking them out!
@emmystorkanimation
Emmy recently released a short film ‘Memory Box’ which has been my current obsession these past weeks. I feel like I’m leaving this world and connecting with the characters when I watch it. The space aesthetic/ colors are so stellar (get it?), The voice acting is wonderful, the soundtrack is amazing. Please give the short film/her portfolio the attention it deserves ❤️
@turnedgoodau / @littlekiwifrog
Being that IT/ Pennywise is one of my special interests, this artist really gives me a place to let the fanboy inside of me live (lmao). They dive into the character of a seemingly merciless monster and expand it so much more. Their art style is so unique and lovely.
@lechepop
This artist uses a beautiful style with undertones of Disney inspiration. I love their work with ducktales and Rocko, and their positive messages/ LGBT is heartwarming. I can definitely see this artist as a great Disney animator someday. ❤️
@wormnaut
I love love love Mono and Dante so much. Their artwork is absolutely adorable, and I can thank them for pulling me out of art block more than once 😅. Their aesthetic is killer (get it? U won’t unless you click their page,,, or follow,,, come on,, do it,,)
@pancaketiffy
This artists use of color and representation of the characters of spongebob is amazing. Their comics are so heartwarming, and provide good representation for people suffering with anxiety/depression etc.
@lazy--stars
Sportarobbie OMG. I am in love with this artists portrayal of our favorite sportacandy/candy enthusiasts. Even with an already amazing talent, he’s still improved tremendously. Also, his sportacus cosplay is adorable.
@cutiebatata
Holy shit. They take IZ to a whole another level. Their use of warm/cool colors made me think that they were a comic artist on for IZ for a second. They’re representation of trans lesbians is so so good. Definitely recommend to all IZ fans!

A Princess and A Pagan
A Princess and a Pagan: The Beginning of the Betrayal
Tumblr media
Part Two // Part Three
Word Count: 1708
Pairing: Hvitserk x Adelaide (OC)
Summary: The Northmen have entered East Anglia, and the king of West Anglia has taken precautions to make sure they will not harm his kingdom. However, Ragnar has not only asked for richest, but also for the young Princess’s hand in marriage.
Warnings: Viking slander
Requested: nope, I just wanted to write for my man
Masterlist
// I do not own any characters or themes except for Adelaide and her family. This work of fiction is heavily based on History’s Vikings. However, in this piece, the sons of Ragnar are older much earlier and all travel with him to Europe. //
It was a warm spring day with the sun shining down from the sky on the kingdom of West Anglia. The birds were singing outside the window their sweet morning song. Adelaide stretched her arms to her sides and she hummed to herself when she felt the sun’s warm rays on her face. Looking out the opening, she smiled to herself thinking about the day’s activities.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock filled her room. Adelaide called for her visitor to enter, knowing it was her servant, Milla. Her brown hair was pulled into a high bun as it usually was, and she carried a dress in her arms.
“Good morning, Milla.” Adelaide murmured as her voice was rough from her long night's sleep. Milla was one of younger servants her father had. She was only 29 years old, and she started working for the King of West Anglia when she was 14 years old.
“Good morning to you too, Princess Adelaide. How was your rest?” Milla inquired. She placed the dress at the foot of Adelaide’s bed and watched as she stepped out of the bed.
“It was interrupted many times during the night by soldiers running down the hall,” Adelaide’s eyebrows scrunched together as she approached her servant, “Do you know anything about that?”
Adelaide sat down at her mirror and watched as Milla approached her. Milla sighed as she reached for the hairbrush on the table, “The Northmen are in East Anglia and might be heading west. There is to be no worry though because your father has started to prepare.”
Adelaide couldn’t help but worry. What would happen if those pagans came to her home? She had complete faith in her God and father that she would be protected. She had heard of some of the terrors that followed these Northmen. They were giant men with even bigger weapons who were rumored to eat Christian children for dinner after they had destroyed villages and bathe in Saxon blood.
She shuddered at the thought of those pigs being in her kingdom. Milla saw the distress on her princess’s features and quickly finished brushing her hair. She ushered Adelaide out of the chair and over to the foot of the bed, “Let’s forget about that for now and get you dressed for the day.”
Adelaide slipped out of the silk slip she had slept in. Goosebumps arose on her skin as the cold morning air hit her skin. She stepped into the red dress as Milla walked around her to tie the back. Adelaide looked in the floor length mirror and took in her appearance. The dress was a deep red color with a high collar and red lace sleeves. The material was tight until it reached her waist where it became loose and flowy.
Once Milla had completely tied the back of the dress, she walked back in front of Adelaide. She ran her hands down her sides, smoothing the dress down. Milla grabbed some of Adelaide’s naturally wavy hair and placed it in front, “You are so beautiful, my Princess.”
“Thank you, Milla,” Adelaide warmly smiled, “Did my father give you any specific instructions for me?”
Milla placed her hand on the small of Adelaide’s back as she guided her to the door, “Just for you to meet him for breakfast as soon as you awoke.”
Adelaide nodded her head and dismissed Milla when they reached her chamber’s door. On the way to the dining room, she noticed a surplus of guards posted around the castle. She brushed it off and blamed the Northmen’s presence in East Anglia for the increase of soldiers.
She reached the dining room and her father, mother, and older brother was already there. The room got eerily quiet as she approached the table. “Good morning, father,” Adelaide leaned down over her father’s shoulder and gave him a kiss on his cheek as she greeted him.
King Coel smiled at his little girl as she took her seat, “I hoped you slept well, sweetheart.”
“I did, father,” Adelaide took a sip from her cup before continuing, “Why were the guards so restless last night?” No one answered her as her mother looked at her with a sad look.
“What? Is there something wrong? I know about the pagans in East Anglia.” Adelaide started to panic as her brother just stared at their father, waiting for him to speak.
“Princess,” her father began before he was interrupted by the dining room’s door being slammed open. Everyone’s eyes snapped over to the noise. Adelaide was the last one to react as her back was to the door. She turned in her seat to see three giants standing and one on the floor in the doorway.
The one in the middle, who seemed to be the leader as he was the biggest, had a long braid of hair going down his back with the sides shaved and a thick beard that went down to the bottom of his neck. The other three men were smaller but still huge. To the left of the largest man, was what seemed to be the next oldest and he had the same shaven sides but the hair on top was much shorter; on the other side of the leader, was a man with blonde hair that was braided but nowhere as long as the other two. Next to the blonde was the man on the floor, and he had the shortest hair of all the men and it wasn’t braided.
The three men started to walk toward the table as the last dragged himself. The leader took the seat to the left of Adelaide’s father as he was at the head of the table. Her mother was to his right, her brother beside the queen, and Adelaide beside him. The second oldest took the seat next to the leader and the cripple next to him. The blonde sat to Adelaide right and she flinched as his eyes scanned her.
Adelaide scooted closer to her brother and looked to her father with confusion etched on her face. The king looked apologetic as he sighed and looked at the people that had just joined the table. Adelaide’s brother, Nikolas, took her hand under the table and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
King Coel cleared his throat, “Princess, I would like to introduce you to Ragnar, Ubbe, Ivar, and Hvitserk.” Her father pointed to each as he said their name. Adelaide smiled at each one as she made eye contact with them to show that she was friendly since she didn’t think they could speak her language, “I am Adelaide,” she enunciated, making sure to speak slowly and point to herself when she said her name. The men seemed to understand as they nodded in response.  
“Father, what are they doing here?” Adelaide said in a happy tone so not set off any alarms in the visitors’ heads.
“We are here because your father asked us to negotiate a deal,” Ragnar spoke to her. Adelaide’s smile dropped immediately as she was shocked to understand his words. She looked around to the younger men to see their reactions to her question. They were watching carefully but didn’t seem like they heard what she said specifically.
“My sons cannot understand you. I am the only one here that can speak your language.” Ragnar confirmed as Adelaide shook her head.
“Ragnar here has agreed not to raid nor kill any of our people in the kingdom,” the King had paused to let the good news settle in.
Adelaide smiled at Ragnar, “Thank you, and what have you asked of us in return?”
Your father rushed to answer, “We are to pay them a sum in gold and silver annually.” Adelaide nodded, the deal seems fair to her. There was no price for safety, but that appeared to be a reasonable deal. She wondered how much the pagans wanted because as just as it seemed, she knew it was too good to be true.
“Your father has also given us your hand in marriage,” Ragnar spoke, and Adelaide heard the venom drip from his words as an evil smirk appeared on his face. He was clearly looking for a reaction out of Adelaide and she couldn’t help but give him one.
The blood drained from the princess’s body, and her body ran cold. She was having a hard time breathing as her gaze turned to her father. He had a look of pity on his face directed toward her. The king didn’t say anything as he allowed Ragnar’s words to sink in.
Adelaide's mouth was slightly open as if she wanted to speak, but no words came out. She couldn’t wrap her mind around the fact that her father had sold her to these pagans. And for what? For the Northmen not to attack them? They hadn’t made any advances toward West Anglia, so there was no need for this deal. Her father had jumped the gun with this alliance. He hadn’t even tried to fight. The king was protecting the kingdom when it wasn’t in any danger yet.
Adelaide started to blink rapidly as her vision started to blur. She didn’t know if it was anger or betrayal that controlled her body at this point. Her mother had constantly reassured her that she would be able to approve her husband, that she would be happy and marry into love.
She looked at her mother and she refused to look at Adelaide. Adelaide looked around the table and the Northmen were all staring at her, drinking her reaction. She started to feel tears sting in her eyes, but she was determined to not let these pigs see her cry. Adelaide quickly blinked them away as she choked, “Who?”
“My eldest unwed son, Hvitserk,” He stated proudly as he nodded toward the blonde next to Adelaide. She slowly turned her head to face Hvitserk. He was already looking at her with a dark look in his eyes. Adelaide gulped a large lump that had formed in the back of her throat.
“I hope that this was worth it, father.” She spoke with hatred laced in her tone as she kept eye contact with Hvitserk.
A/N: ahhhh! This is my first piece as a multi-fandom blog, so it had to be my man Hvitserk. This will be a long fic and the other parts will be longer and may get smutter. Also, I decided to give the protagonist a name, Adelaide Coel. She is physically based on Mary of Scots from Reign but only physically. I hope yall enjoy this! I am really nervous about posting this, so leave me some feedback!

A Princess and a Pagan
A Princess and a Pagan: An Audience
Tumblr media
Part One / Part Two
Word Count: 3553 (omg wow sorry)
Pairing: Hvitserk x Adelaide (OC)
Summary: Putting her doubts behind her, Adelaide gets ready for her wedding day. Hvitserk doesn’t know what happens the night of a Christian wedding but soon finds out as he is thrown into it.
Warnings: cuteness, wedding things, public sex (?), sex in front of an audience but they can’t really see, smut, nsfw, fingering (female receiving), penetration (female receiving)
Masterlist
Today was the big day. The day that the Coels and Lothbroks will be joined in holy matrimony under God. Ragnar had agreed to have the marriage the Saxon way if Adelaide agreed to travel back to Kattegat three days after the ceremony. King Coel had decided on Adelaide’s behalf, elated that the service would be done their way.
Adelaide flipped on her side as Milla jerked the curtains open and the sun’s bright rays invaded the room. Adelaide had gotten very little sleep the night before as her nerves would not allow her a moment of peace. Her thoughts never let her mind turn off as a rush of all the possible outcomes ran through her head.
Adelaide stretched her arms to the side and softly moaned as her bones cracked after being so still for so long. She smiled at Milla as she strode over to Adelaide’s bed, “Good morning, my princess. Today is a significant day.”
Adelaide scrunched her eyebrows together, “What do you mean, Milla? Oh! Has the hunting party returned with an assortment of meat for us to feast on?”
Milla raised her eyebrows toward Adelaide as she pulled the blankets off the bed, “Oh yes, my princess! King Coel has asked you down for your help in preparing the animals also!” Milla laughed.
Adelaide mocked throwing up before giggling herself, “Oh, Milla. I am going to miss you so. Can you please tell me the wedding has been canceled and I am now free to live here with you for the rest of my days?”
“Sweet Princess Adelaide, that is no way to talk on the big day! Now your father has given me strict instructions to keep you in this room so that your groom will not see you before it is time. I brought you some breakfast, and once you are finished, we must get started!” Milla kissed Adelaide on the forehead, “I will gather up the rest of the girls, and we will be back in thirty minutes. Eat up, you shouldn’t get married on an empty stomach.” Milla walked out of Adelaide’s chambers with the prior day’s clothes.
Adelaide walked over to the small table that held her breakfast. An assortment of cheeses and meats littered the silver plater. Before she could reach for a piece of food, the door opened slightly, and a body slipped in.
“Hvitserk! What are you doing in here! You are not to see me until the ceremony. My father will be furious if he catches you!” Adelaide yelled at Hvitserk as she turned from him and covered her face with her hands.
“My beautiful bride, I could not wait to see you. I wanted to say something before we are joined under the gods,” Hvitserk turned Adelaide’s face toward his and grabbed her soft hands in his rough ones before continuing, “Adelaide Coel, I understand that we barely know each other, but I am very excited for our life together. I want to get to know you and for your belly to swell with our beautiful children. I know that neither of us had a say in this, but I would never wish for any of my brothers to take my place nor would I wish anyone take yours.”
Hvitserk leaned forward and connected their lips. It was a soft kiss, and it only lasted for a second before Hvitserk pulled back, “I must go now before your father has my head on a stick. I will see you again in a couple of hours when you will be officially mine.”
Before Adelaide could speak a word, Hvitserk had slipped back through the door as quickly as he came in. She brought her hand up to her lips and let her fingers ghost over where he had just been. She wondered if anyone had informed him on what happens on the night of the wedding.
She shook her head to clear her mind. Someone obviously told him and informed him of other details of how the ceremony would go. Adelaide reached for a piece of cheese and bit her lip. Maybe tonight wouldn’t be as bad as she thought.
Before long Milla returned with several other servants. They guided Adelaide over to her vanity where they ran her brush through her tangled hair. The girls were humming as they worked. Once they had finished brushing her hair, they started to style it. They pulled the top half of her hair into a ponytail and braided the hair that was sectioned off. The bottom half was left to their perfect waves. Adelaide wanted to keep her hair simple.
It was the dress next. Milla had laid it out on the end of Adelaide’s bed, and as she walked toward her bed, she was left speechless. The dress had was a white lace piece that had sheer lace sleeves that connected to the chest and back until the solid white fabric underneath shown through. The dress had a beaded belt that had a floral pattern.
The servants began to untie Adelaide’s nightgown as she took in her wedding dress. Milla watched in awe from the side of the bed, “You will be the most beautiful bride, my princess.”
A single tear dropped from Adelaide’s cheek as she heard Milla’s words, “Thank you, Milla. I love you very much, I hope you know that.” The nightgown fell to the ground, and Milla walked over to help the Princess with her dress. Milla picked up the fabric gently and allowed Adelaide to step underneath for the dress to slip over her body.
Once Adelaide had got her arms through the long sleeves that covered most of her hands, Milla guided her over to her floor length mirror. Adelaide took in her appearance as Milla smoothed her hands on her white dress. “What did I tell you, Princess? The most beautiful bride that there was ever. Oh, wait, one final piece.”
Milla walked over to a box that had been left near the door. She opened the wooden container and pulled out a diamond covered crown. Milla walked back over, and Adelaide slightly bent down to help Milla place the piece of jewelry on her head. The crown glittered as the sun shone through the window. Adelaide took her appearance in and for the first time in her life, she felt like a queen.
“My beautiful daughter, how grown up you look.” Adelaide’s mother entered the room and headed straight for her daughter.
“So how do I look, mother?” Adelaide looked back in the mirror, and her mother joined her as she stood behind Adelaide running her hands down Adelaide’s arms.
“Like a true bride. I have waited for this day for so long, I cannot believe that it is already here.” The queen quickly wiped her eyes to try and hide her tears.
“Mother, if you start crying then I will sure as well,” Adelaide turned in her mother’s arms and brought her in for a hug, “I love you, and I will miss you so.”
“Hush about that now Adelaide, it is not the time for goodbyes. Are you ready? I was sent to fetch you.” The queen smiled, and Adelaide could see that she was truly happy for her little girl.
Adelaide shook her head and hugged Milla before walking with her mother down the halls. She was met with her father at the entrance of the ceremony hall, “Are you ready for this sweetheart?” King Coel reached for Adelaide’s arm and wrapped his in hers after she shook her head.
The sound of the flutes and other instruments filled her ears as she took in a deep breath. This was really it. The large doors were pulled open, and she felt all eyes on her. She brought her head up and scanned the room. Her eyes met his, and the room seemed to melt.
Adelaide felt a squeeze on her arm, but she didn’t pay it any attention and started to walk forward, her eyes only connected with his. Hvitserk’s eyes had gone wide and his mouth agape. He was taken back by her beauty and felt frozen in his spot. He watched in awe as she glided down the aisle toward him; she looked gods-like.
Once Adelaide reached the end of the aisle, the music ended, and King Coel kissed the top of her forehead and patted her arm before turning to his seat where her mother and brother were already. Both Hvitserk and Adelaide knelt on the steps. The priest stepped toward them with the wedding document in his hand, and another had the ink and quill. They both signed the document, binding them together under marriage laws.
The priest stepped back to his spot and started to read off the document. Adelaide’s mind was buzzing so loudly that she couldn’t hear what he was saying, but she had attended many weddings before, so she knew what he was announcing. They had confirmed that there had not been any prior contact with each other before the marriage, agreed to stay with each other till death do them part in sickness and in health, in good times and in bad times. They promised to be faithful to each other for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer.
Once the priest had finished, both Hvitserk and Adelaide stood to their feet and joined in hands, “Do you, Hvitserk Lothbrok, agree to these terms and therefore take Adelaide Coel to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
Hvitserk bit his lip, “I do,” He was speaking Adelaide’s language. It was broken and grumbled, but it made Adelaide happy nonetheless that Hvitserk had learned the phrase.
“Do you, Adelaide Coel, agree to these terms and therefore take Hvitserk Lothbrok to be your lawfully wedded husband?”
“I do,” Adelaide smiled and turned her head to the priest.
“With the power vested in me, I pronounce Hvitserk Lothbrok and Adelaide Coel husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride.” The priest gestured to Adelaide to signal to Hvitserk that he could kiss her.
Hvitserk caught on and wrapped his hands around her jaw and connected their lips. Cheers erupted around the couple. The kiss was deep, filled with passion, but like most of their kisses, it was cut short as Hvitserk pulled back. Adelaide smiled as the couple joined hands once more and walked down the petal littered aisle.
Adelaide caught a glimpse of Milla in the back of the hall, and she was absolutely bawling, and so was her mother. King Coel had a look of pride and nodded toward Adelaide as she passed by.
The party moved to a large ballroom where there was an open space meant for dancing and conversing. Small tables were placed around the edge of the room with white flower arrangements in the center of each. There was a little band in the left corner who started to play a slow song as the bride and groom entered the room. The guests parted for Adelaide and Hvitserk to make their way to the center of the room for their first dance as husband and wife.
Hvitserk placed his hand out for Adelaide to place hers in and when they reached the middle of the room, he had placed one hand on her waist, and one was put behind his back. They started to dance to the music. Hvitserk was spinning Adelaide, making her giggle at his jagged movements with the formal dance. He picked her up by the waist and lifted her up in the air as the music started to slow to a stop. When he slowly began to let her down, their faces almost touched, and Adelaide could feel his breath on her face.
The room started to clap for the couple, and Adelaide laughed, looking around at the guests. The music began to pick up, and the guests started to join in, taking the pressure off the couple and letting them relax a little bit.
“I am so excited to take you back to Kattegat. My mother will love you, and our people will adore you,” Hvitserk started to sway the both of them to music. He had a massive grin on his face that was contagious, and Adelaide started to smile even though moving away from her home terrified her.
“I hope your mother will like me. But I am going, to be honest, I am terrified of leaving. I want to start my life with you, but moving so far away from my home and so quickly, keeps me up at night.” Adelaide confessed to her new husband.
“You have nothing to fear. I will be by your side the whole time; no harm will ever come to you or your name. Trust me,” Hvitserk calmed Adelaide’s nerves with a kiss on top of her forehead. Adelaide laid her head on Hvitserk’s chest and they swayed to the music.
Adelaide felt a tap on her shoulder that brought her back to reality. Her father was standing before her, “Hvitserk, can I have this dance with my daughter?” Hvitserk nodded even though he had no idea what the King had said.
The king took Adelaide’s hand into his and started slowly dance to the music with his daughter, “I am very proud of you, Adelaide. You did this for your Kingdom, and your people know what you have done for them.”
Adelaide smiled at her father, “They’re the reason why I do everything I do. I want to protect them, and if marring a Northman means shielding them from their violence, then there is no choice. I had to marry Hvitserk.”
King Coel was very proud of his daughter and her dedication to her Kingdom, “You’ve handled this with such grace and poise. No other woman I know would have done what you have. I know this was a sacrifice for you and you accepted it and never doubted me or my decisions.”
Adelaide always loved when her father praised her, but she did not do this for him. She did this for her people so that they would never be raided by the Northmen and know the reality of their ferocity. “Thank you, father. Your words mean a great deal to me. I always strive to bring respect and honor to our name.”
The king nodded and then continued to dance with his daughter in silence. He knew this was probably the last time he would get to, and he wanted to savor the moment. The rest of the night was full of food, drinks, and laughs. When the night started to settle in, the priest had told the King that they were ready for the consummation, and the King gathered the people involved.
Hvitserk looked confused as did his brothers when they were all led to a secluded bedroom in the side hall of the castle, “This is our consummation, Hvitserk. This is what seals our marriage and makes it official under the eyes of God. There must be witnesses that we were connected mentally and physically, or our marriage could be accused of being void in the future.”
“I don’t understand why we must have an audience watch us. That is an invasion of privacy,” Hvitserk protested and raised his voice. The room was filled the priest, the King, Queen, and Prince along with Ragnar, Ubbe, Ivar, and a few servants. Adelaide requested that Milla be present and she was there in the back holding her hand to her mouth.
“Hvitserk, we are the only people in this room that matter. Focus on me and only me,” Adelaide leaned forward and kissed Hvitserk. It was a deep kiss, but Adelaide felt Hvitserk’s hesitation. She wrapped her hands in his hair and started to walk backward until her body collided with the bed. Hvitserk pulled back and stared into Adelaide’s eyes, “Please. Do this for me.”
Hvitserk nodded his head, and the couple moved up the bed. The priest closed the sheer curtains around the bed. It brought very little coverage, and the witnesses could see their shadows on the fabric.
Hvitserk connected their lips this time, and Adelaide felt him get more comfortable. He lowered his kisses down to her shoulder, and Adelaide arched her back to give him more access, and he made his way down her body, taking her thin nightgown with him. Soon she was bare to him, and Hvitserk sat back on his knees and took her body in.
“Mm, even more perfect than what I had imagined,” Hvitserk had a look of hunger in his eyes that made Adelaide shiver. He leaned back down to bring his lips to the soft spot under her jaw that made her let out a low moan. Hvitserk’s hands wandered Adelaide’s body, teasing her as they ghosted over her skin but avoided the place she needed him the most.
“Please, Hvitserk.” Adelaide didn’t know what she was asking for. She wanted Hvitserk to touch her either to fill the need starting to build up or to complete to marriage and get the people who were right outside of the curtains to leave.
Hvitserk picked up on what Adelaide was trying to convey as he brought his hands to tear his tunic off. They were completely exposed to each other now, and Adelaide took in Hvitserk’s appearance in. His soft, lightly tanned skin looked heavenly in the glow of the candles. His muscles were defined most likely by all the physical activity he partakes in because of his Viking culture.
Hvitserk reached a hand down to Adelaide’s breast and lightly squeezed it in his large palm, and his other hand was grabbing at her ass. His lips were on her throat, leaving little marks. Adelaide’s hands were in his hair, clutching at the roots.
Adelaide grabbed the hand that was on her ass and moved it over her sex. Hvitserk brought his eyes up to hers and raised his eyebrows. Adelaide just nodded in response.
Hvitserk ghosted his hand over her until taking his middle finger and connecting it to her clit and drawing slow circles on it. This made Adelaide gasp loudly and threw her head back into the pillow. Hvitserk continued his assault on her clit, slowly moving quicker and adding more pressure. He switched from his middle finger to his thumb as he entered one finger into her tight sex.
Adelaide couldn’t hold in her moans anymore as he started to pump into her and she started to ache for more, “Hvitserk,” she moaned out. He added another finger and Adelaide started to pant loudly, a knot beginning to form in the pit of her stomach.
But as quickly as the pleasure started to build, it was taken away as Hvitserk pulled his hands away from her wet center. His fingers were slick with her arousal, and he brought them to his mouth. He held eye contact with Adelaide as he licked his fingers clean, letting them out with a pop.
Adelaide whined at the sight, and the ache at the entrance grew. Hvitserk looked at her with concern and Adelaide nodded in response as she felt him line himself up with her. “I will go slow,” Hvitserk whispered in her ear.
Adelaide felt a strange pressure as he started to slowly push himself in. She felt herself stretch to accommodate his size, and she gasped loudly as he gradually came to a stop as he was entirely inside her. Hvitserk gave her a moment to adjust before he started to pull out. The emptiness made a whimper leave her mouth before a moan replaced it when he thrust back in.
Hvitserk started to pick up the pace as Adelaide’s moans became more confident. Hvitserk’s fingers connected to Adelaide’s clit again and made Adelaide groan and grip the sheets. It wasn’t long before she felt the knot form in her stomach again.
She pulled Hvitserk down to her by his neck and connected their lips in a sloppy, rushed kiss as Hvitserk’s hips started to slam into her. Adelaide clenched when she felt herself come undone, and she let out a sound that was close to a scream.
Her legs started to tremble as ecstasy came over her body. Her back arched into Hvitserk as he started to sloppily thrust into her, letting her ride out her orgasm. He was very close to his own as well, and when Adelaide moaned out his name, he was thrown off the edge and his seed filled Adelaide. She could feel it, and she sucked in her breath at the feeling.
Hvitserk let out one last moan before falling beside Adelaide, and the emptiness making her whimper. He leaned over to Adelaide and kissed the top of her sweaty forehead, “You did so well, my bride.”
“Has it been done, Princess?” The Priest called from outside the curtain.
“Yes, Father,” Adelaide said breathlessly. The couple could hear the crowd shuffling around before hearing the door close.
“This is the last time we have to do this, right?” Hvitserk questioned with a grin.
“Unless it excited you to have an audience,” Adelaide smirked, and Hvitserk pulled himself on top of her and connected their lips again.

Masterlist
// There is a time jump between the last part and this one by a couple of weeks //
The sun was setting on the beautiful kingdom of West Anglia. The warm, orange rays peaking through the leafless trees. The temperature was dropping, and the townspeople were settling down for the night, closing their shops and heading to their families at home.
Adelaide took a sip of her drink as she gazed out of the large windows in the grand hall. Her people were everything to her. It was her duty to protect them and make the tough decisions that would, in the end, benefit them. She had to put the people of West Anglia before herself and be completely selfless.
Adelaide wasn’t mad at her father for making a deal with the Northmen. He made a choice that he thought would protect his people, something Adelaide would have also done if she was in his shoes. Even though Adelaide accepted the marriage of Hvitserk and herself, it didn’t mean that she wanted it.
Growing up, her mother told her stories of how King Coel had swept her off her feet. It was love at first sight for them, and Adelaide had always dreamed of having the same prince charming story. She only had one boyfriend before now, and that relationship ended because he had wanted something that Adelaide couldn’t give him just yet.
It’s not that she didn’t have urges or couldn’t get a partner. Adelaide had wanted to give it to her husband on their coronation night. But now that it would be with a Northman, she didn’t know what to do. Her virtue was valuable, did he really deserve it? She wasn’t going to resist the marriage, but she could refuse to give such a treasured thing to Hvitserk.
Adelaide was taken from her thoughts as her teacher dropped a thick book on the table. “Princess Adelaide, you are never going be able to converse with your husband if you do not pay attention.” He had a scowl on his face as he glared at her.
“I think we are done for the day. My mind is somewhere else; there is no reason to continue.” Adelaide stood up, the back of her knees pushing the chair back.
“Your wedding is in two days. You are learning quickly, but their language is quite complicated.” Her teacher was a wanderer who had been brought in to teach Adelaide the Northmen’s language. He had a long, grey beard and his eyes had held a sense of knowledge mixed with pain.
“I will study some more before I go to bed. You are dismissed now, thank you for your patience.” Adelaide smiled softly and nodded toward him. He turned the table, and Adelaide sat back down with a huff, throwing her head in her hands. Her wedding was in two days’ time, and she had known this for some time, but she still could not wrap her mind around it.
Adelaide was so in her head that she had not heard the door open and someone sit down in the chair adjacent to hers. A small cough filled the room and made Adelaide jump as her head snapped up. Her eyes were met with soft, kind eyes.
It was evident on her face that she had been startled, “I am sorry Adelaide. I did not mean to frighten you,” Hvitserk spoke slowly, enunciating his words.
It took Adelaide a moment to respond as she was looking for the right words. “It is no problem. I was not doing anything.” She was keeping her sentences simple and concise as she was afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering him.
“I see that you are doing very well at learning our language.” He commented with a smile, happy to see his soon-to-be wife excelling.
It was painfully obvious that he was trying to make conversation, “My teacher said that I was a fast learner. Is there something that you needed?”
Hvitserk fidgeted in his seat, “Yes actually –” He was cut off by Milla entering the hall and the door creaking open quite loudly.
“Oh, I am sorry my princess,” Milla looked down at her feet, “I did not know you were with company. I had been informed that your lessons had ended and came to fetch you for your bath.”
Adelaide smiled kindly and Hvitserk was awestruck at her beauty, “It is okay Milla. I will be with you in just a moment. Thank you.” Milla nodded her head and walked back out of the door.
Adelaide turned back to Hvitserk, “I am sorry, but I am needed elsewhere. Was what you needed very important?”
Hvitserk sighed and looked down at his lap, “Nothing that cannot wait. Please go attend to your duties.”
Adelaide smiled at him before saying goodbye and heading toward her chambers where Milla would be waiting with a warm bath.
She entered the room and sure enough, there was Milla pouring a bucket of water into the tub. “Milla, I am so torn. I want to do what is right for my people, but can I really marry a pagan?”
Milla put the bucket down and guided Adelaide to her floor length mirror and started to undo her dress laces, “My dear Princess, listen to your heart. Follow your instinct and do what you feel is right. We all trust you to make the right choice.”
Adelaide brought her hands to her shoulders and pulled the black dress down her body, embracing the frigid air that hit her exposed skin. She walked over to the tub and stepped in, “Thank you, Milla. You may go. I wish to be alone with my thoughts tonight.”
Milla kissed Adelaide on the top of her forehead before leaving the princess alone. Adelaide let the warm water soothe her muscles as she leaned her head against the back of the tub and let her thoughts take over once more.
Could she be able to give up a chance at true happiness for the protection of her people? Could she learn to love Hvitserk? How would she fit in at Kattegat? Would her people consider her a traitor for marrying such a violent man? Adelaide’s mind kept buzzing with similar questions until her head started to feel physically dizzy.
Adelaide finally got out of the bath when she felt as if she would melt if she didn’t get out of the water at that second. Adelaide walked over to her bed where Milla had laid out a silk nightgown. She heard a knock at the door and absentmindedly welcomed the visitor in without thinking since the only people who were in her room this late were herself and Milla.
“Could you braid my hair tonight?” Adelaide asked as she heard steps approach her, but no response. It wasn’t until she felt strong arms wrap around her naked waist that she knew it wasn’t Milla.
Adelaide started to panic and jerk around as the intruder had hidden his face behind her neck. She smelt a strong scent of sweat mixed wood and felt rough leather against her bare back. Hvitserk.
He moved his head to the crook of her neck and placed sweet kisses on her skin and Adelaide moved her head to the side to allow him more access. His hands reached around to grab her breasts. Hvitserk kneading them in his large, rough hands. Adelaide was breathing heavily and had to bite her lip to keep a moan from escaping her mouth. “Princess, you are so beautiful. I cannot believe you are to be all mine.”
This snapped Adelaide out of her trace, “Hvitserk, we cannot. We are not married yet.” She brought her shoulder up as she pushed him out of the crook her neck.
“What is two days? We are basically married. We do not have to tell anyone. Stop acting so pure, there is no way a woman with your beauty has not already been ravished by a man.” Hvitserk brought his lips to her exposed shoulder.
This comment extremely offended Adelaide. What did he mean when he said she had been ravished by another man? Does he think that she did not wait for her husband? “I don’t know what pagan culture you come from, but in West Anglia, the women are not whores. They wait to give their virtue to their husbands on their wedding day. So, you can get your filthy hands off me right now, you ignorant pagan.”
Adelaide was breathing heavily and Hvitserk had seemed stunned as he had frozen in his tracks. He quickly snapped out of it when he brought his mouth to Adelaide’s ear, “Well at least our women aren’t prudes and don’t go sucking up to daddy whenever they have a problem.”
Hvitserk ripped his hands off Adelaide and took her breath away. Tears stung in her eyes as she ran her hands down her waist where his hands had been. She quickly grabbed her nightgown and slipped it over her head before she jumped into bed. All her doubts and questions had been answered within 5 minutes after weeks of pondering.
Hvitserk stormed down the hallway, heading toward where his brothers were. They would be in the hall, drinking and eating. Surely enough, when he entered through the large doors, there they were. Hvitserk sat down at the end of the table with a huff, grabbing a cup of mead and downing it.
“Oh wow, women troubles already, brother?” Ivar teased and laughed as he smirked at Hvitserk.
“The stupid woman turned me down. Said that she couldn’t because we are not married yet even though we are to be wed in only two days.” Hvitserk reached to refill his cup, gritting his teeth recalling the events that happened moments ago.
“Princess Adelaide is a lot of things, but stupid is not one of them,” Ubbe added with a nod of his head.
“I think you should go back in there, and claim what is rightfully yours. She will be your wife very soon and nothing is going to stop the wedding, so what is a couple days in comparison to the rest of your life?” Ivar exclaimed with an edge to his voice.
“Do not listen to Ivar. That will ruin your relationship as Adelaide will never trust you again,” Ivar rolled his eyes at Ubbe’s words, “What is a couple of hours in comparison to the rest of your life?” Ubbe scowled at Ivar.
Hvitserk didn’t have time to respond as he heard the door slowly open and he turned around in his seat to see who it was. Adelaide was wearing a thin nightgown and he could see the outline of her breasts through it and her slightly hard nipples that had been in his hands just a short while ago.
He turned around with a huff and took a sip from his cup. “Hvitserk, can we please talk?” Adelaide sounded so small and it pulled at his heartstrings.
“What would you have to say to a pagan?” Hvitserk snapped and Adelaide flinched at his harsh tone.
“Please, I have something important to say to you.” Adelaide shifted from one foot to the other as she felt Ivar’s eyes bore into her.
“Princess, whatever it is that you have to say, you can say it in front of all of us,” Ivar interjected with a strong voice.
Adelaide crossed her arms over her chest and walked over to the table. She sat down next to Hvitserk and leaned toward him. He would not make eye contact with her and put a slice of meat into his mouth.
“I am sorry I said those things about your women. I have been under a lot of stress lately and I have been questioning everything. I am not making excuses; I should have not taken it out on you. I wasn’t being a good wife, and I regret it.” Adelaide confessed and looked down at her lap.
Hvitserk connected his fingers to her chin and brought her eyes to meet his, “It is okay Adelaide. I said equally hurtful words. I should have respected you more.” Hvitserk wrapped his hand around her jaw and brought her face closer to his, “Is it okay if I kiss you?”
The question was so simple, but it warmed Adelaide’s heart that he cared to ask. She answered his question by closing the gap between them and connecting their lips. One of Hvitserk’s hands stayed on her jaw while the other on found its way to her waist where he grabbed at her hip. The kiss was sweet and filled with emotion. Adelaide didn’t feel pressured to go forward, in fact, Hvitserk was the one to break the kiss.
He had a huge smile on his face as he grabbed Adelaide’s cheek and tenderly rubbed his thumb on her soft skin, “Just two more days, my prince.”
