#ubba x vili

[krankittoeleven]

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let's spread the self-love 💞

Thank you so much for the ask! :) I know you sent this a million years ago, but you know how it is, and how I am. LOL

My favorites are every changing depending on the hyperfixation and a number of other factors (I'm only linking completed fics), but at the moment my top five are:

we were hungry before - JJK, NanaGo, Explicit, 31K. 5+1 (+1), getting together, ten years of mutual pining and slow burn. I'm not sure I'm going to write a better, more coherent, finished piece than this. Maybe, idk, but I really gave this one my all. (And I'm also eternally grateful to you for helping me make it better, and for all your encouragement while I got was having a crisis and going through covid LMAO what a time!).

i wish it were me inside your veins - JJK, NanaGo, Teen, 4.1K. nanami!whump, gojo!whump, hurt/comfort. I need to write from Gojo's pov more, and this was an attempt at that and I quite liked how it turned out.

incentive - Trigun 98, MillyWood, Teen, 1.4K. Hurt/comfort, first kiss, a missing scene for episode 11. One of my longest loved ships, finally wrote them after 20+ years.

what it tastes like - JJK, GetoNanaGo, E, 4.3K. PWP. My attempt to write them within actual canon that really just resulted in a lot of handwaving. LOL It's fun.

slow life - AC Valhalla, Ubba/Vili, E, 17K. Getting Together after many years of mutual pining with a side of hypothermia and cuddling for warmth. Anything I write about these two is my favorite.

Thanks again!

Do you ship Oswald and Valdis?

What about the other characters in the game besides Basim and Eivor, Who do you ship them with?

I'm fine with Oswald and Valdis. 🤷 My feelings about them as a couple are pretty neutral. I think Oswald is the sweetest character, though, and I adore his friendship with Eivor 💕 And... Valdis makes me cackle every time I hear her talk....... her Danish accent is so thick it distracts me 🤣 But the two as a couple? Eh. As long as Oswald is happy I'm happy. :')

As for other ships, here's a list:

Eivor x Kassandra

Kassandra x Eivor x Basim

Eivor x Hytham

Basim x Eivor x Hytham

Eivor x Ubba

Eivor x Vili

Randvi x Sigurd

Erke x Stowe

Kassandra x Brasidas

Basim x Ali

Loki x Havi

Mostly... 'cause Havi uses SO MUCH of the Ragnarök DLC just pining and sighing about how much he misses Loki 🤣

It's so toxic, and my whole heart isn't in it... buuuuut.......

I think that's it? Maybe?

The true answer: I genuinely want Eivor to be able to kiss everyone.

[myriath]

Happy Birthday Eivor!!

Thanks to this game, I met a bunch of incredible people and friends, improved my drawing skills (thanks to my Ivarr obsession) a lot and had all in all a fuckton of fun on this emotional rollercoaster. So I decided to make this litte illustration of the first anniversary. I can’t believe that it’s already a year since the release.

If you (yes, you!) like, reblog and tell everyone your answers to the following questions: What is your fondest memory of the game? Did it change your life in some way? And who is your favourite character.

[sonnefuchs]

I think my problem is, amongst many, I just want Eivor to end up with everyone.

Just putting this out there, I'm down to RP some m/m AC Valhalla and open to do a variety of characters 👀

Assassin's Creed Valhalla - Something I have to get off my shoulders

! Careful, what I write now is criticism, if you do not like content like that please do not read any further!

Mad ramblings of a frustrated old woman ahead:

I really love AC Valhalla, i have since launch. And to be honest this might just be a post out of pure frustration, I apologize for it in advance.

But the last few content changes have soured my admiration for the game.

Beginning with all those Community Challenges they are dropping. Some of them work, some don't. For me that meant I did not get the Einherjar bow, I did not get the Pharaoh's Mount and recently recruiting Community Jomsvikings does not count to any challenge, so I will not get the new Brotherhood Tattoo, too. I know, we should be greatful for Ubisoft to give us free content every now and then, but, well... not being able to get it bc. the participation in those events and challenges does not register is quite annoying.

Since launch of the game there are quite a few bugs that occur again and again. NPCs that are stuck in the floor, loot that cannot be reached, floating objects etc. Now we got a complete data reconstruction. The only thing I noticed that has been fixed was the broken transmog on my first Savegame. Otherwise we have constant tripping over invisible things (was there a cat????), floating objects (again) and so on.

Discovery Tour was a nice idea and I was very hyped for it. But when they released it the disappointment was huge... I have beaten everything in a few hours playtime - and the characters I would have wanted to play the most have not even be an option (Tyr, Vili, Ubba...). Sure, I liked the quest-system they introduced, but the overall experience was not even close to what AC Odyssey DT had to offer. No parttaking in social activities (by standing on the white dots on the ground, if you have played AC Odyssey DT you know what I mean) and a huge map... empty except for about 5 little areas with Interaction points... I expected a bit more. Let's just hope they will add Ireland and Francia as future content to DT, otherwise great historical stuff would be wasted.

Now the Yule festival. I appreciate they didn't change the overall experience of the festival. But it starts buggy. If you have participated in the event last year, it would not activate on this Savegame. So you need to have a newer one to actually experience the event. And it is exactly the same. Even the events apart from the festival activities (which I am greatful are the same! I really loved the brawl last year!), but I would have liked to have some new side events, not the Cow Hunt and The missing Ale again... And then we get to the rewards. They promised snowy hair. I was quite excited when they announced it, maybe we get a hairstyle with little snowflakes or, well snow in your hair (and beard). What we actually get is a hairstyle that looks as if Eivor had dunked his head in a bucket of water and then put it into the freezer. A badly rendered "monstrosity"... enough said.

Now the worst part of it all: The reconstruction broke every game mod that was released from very talented people to sweeten the game experience, at least for PC Players (sorry for folks with PS and X-Box). I know, some of you will say that the game is not meant to be played like this. But it actually kept me from abandoning the game a long time ago. I simply do not vibe with Eivor like I would like to. F-Eivor is nice, but I do not want to play female characters in a game for long. M-Eivor just does not get to me. He's ok... but I cannot stand him for more than a couple of hours playtime. And the author of the (at least for myself) most valuable mod (Eivor Customizer) seems to have stopped updating at all. This takes me to a threshold where I have to decide to abandon the game I really loved to play (I have over 1000 hours of playtime) or to play it with much less motivation... I am not yet decided what to do since I have just spent 40 bucks on the preorder of the new DLC.

Now again, I love this game, I really do. The content we got was very nice, the landscapes are just breathtaking, SoP was so beautiful, the tombs of the fallen were amazing. Even the Crossover-Event was a nice diversion, although I had to play F-Eivor. It was so good to see Kassandra again. But right now I am really frustrated with all the things that bother me till no end.

Anyways, If you have read this untill the end I want to thank you for your time and your open ear and I want to apologize again for critizising this otherwise wonderful game so harshly.

Thank You for reading!

[reiverreturns]

Beware: totally self-indulgent eivor x vili theorising below

Thinking about how Eivor has a relatively stoic attitude to death throughout the game, even when those she loves and cares for pass. Svend, Hemming, Dag, Ubba - all are acknowledged and mourned with quiet, contained sadness. Even Soma, who Eivor calls out for in the heat of battle, is treated with solemnity on the funeral pyre.

But Hunwald and Ceolbert are different. Hunwald’s death drives Eivor to audibly sob, alone and mute to fight that she will soon have to rejoin. Ceolbert’s murder drives Eivor to such fury that she contemplates denying Ivarr, a man she thought was a friend, entry to Valhalla for his misdeeds. Their deaths break her stoicism and let the grief seep through, angry and hot and horrible as it is. 

And I’m not sure that is a coincidence. Eivor has a softness for the young and naive to be sure, but that isn’t all Hunwald and Ceolbert share as characters. They are both young men who’s natures and desires in life don’t entirely align with their father’s expectations, or at least the roles they stand to inherit. One (Ceolbert) tries to use his innate curiosity and desire for peace to shape the kind of king he might be, while the other (Hunwald) takes the steer of his life into his own hands by moving with Swanburrow to Ravensthorpe. 

It’s not a stretch to imagine that Eivor sees echoes of Vili in each of them - his struggle, his passion, his choices. No matter how you direct the story in Snotinghamscire, the parallels are still there. 

Eivor and Vili don’t end up together. The timing isn’t right, their responsibilities drive them apart, they are no longer the children they were and perhaps the gap between then and now is insurmountable. But for Hunwald and Ceolbert, things might have been different. Perhaps the Gods would be kinder to them, allow them to love freely and rule justly without compromise.

Seeing them die is not only a knife to the heart because they were good people. It hurts Eivor all the more because they will never experience what she could have had with Vili. And the pain of losing that dream is worse than the knowing it will never come true.

[gwynbleiddyn]

rating: M

relationships: m!eivor x vili

summary: In a world where Eivor thrives under the banner of Hemming Jarl’s famed Dragon Clan, he finds himself at Vili’s side travelling to England where new adventures lie in wait for them. Barely on the cusp of adulthood, Eivor and Vili must navigate a brutal welcome before circumstances set them worlds apart. Eivor falls into this new existence where the wolves and ravens of his dreams now keep him company in the waking world, but his ravens know he is not happy. Their king is not happy. He has never been happy. And they do not understand why, because what do ravens know of heartache?

seventeen →  It is only when Vil’s hand squeezes his knee that Eivor realizes he is trembling, the memory settling in the way a broken bone might be reset: forced into place with a brutal snap, leaving his stomach lurching with the sudden displacement. He groans, holding onto Vili as his vision swims and he sees the battle before him again, no longer wrapped up in that hazy fog, and Ubba stands there, tall and broad, a bulwark that came too late.

[krankittoeleven]

It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me/But history kind of pales when you and me are aligned/When you smile I don't know what to do/Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two/And it seems like the end of the world, when you smile

Rules: Post the last 7 lines from your current WIP, then tag 7 people!

I was tagged by @aeide. Thank you very much!

From my AC Valhalla fic Water of Life, my most favorite WIP but also the bane of my existence. LOL

Vili smiles and drops his gaze back down to the furs, where Ubba’s hand rests in both of his. He watches his thumbs pass over the lines and scars and bumps that decorate Ubba’s hand, mindful of two knuckles that are lightly bruised and swollen. Another story to be told and from the look of it a recent one.

“Who did you punch?” Vili asks jokingly as he turns Ubba’s hand slightly to draw attention to the bruising, the new bracelets already catching a flicker of light from their movement.

“No one,” Ubba replies through a huff, the injury clearly not worth mentioning in his eyes. “Only the trim of my ship when we were caught in a sudden storm.”

I will tag @theinkandthesea @vault-heck @mini-uzzy @brasideios @softest-punk @ainulindaelynn and @findusinaweek. And of course anyone else that wants to!

[krankittoeleven]

Snippet Sunday Saturday!

Look, if you are expecting me to be consistent about things...ever...you've come to the wrong place. LOL I have a bit to share from CH 13 of Water of Life, but I'm pretty busy the next couple days so its Snippet Saturday this week. Although, I guess it's Sunday now for some of you. LOL

Since this is long, part of it is under the cut. Slightly heavy convo, but nothing to warn against that you haven't already experienced if you've been reading the fic. As always, this is not the final form, it's subject to change, and a bit rough around the edges.

The third chest Vili picks is the smallest of Ubba’s and also the plainest, and for a moment Vili is filled with hope that this utilitarian looking box will hold the bandages he wis looking for, but as soon as he opens the chest he knows he’s opened the wrong one; and not just because of the smell, which is musty, and old and earthy.

At first Vili thinks that, for some reason, Ubba had been carrying around the untreated pelt of a small animal in his chest for quite some time, perhaps even in an absent minded way that might be concerning if he hadn’t soon realized that the burgundy lining of the chest was not actually the lining of the chest at all but cloth. A cloak.

Ubba’s cloak.

Or, what had once been Ubba’s cloak, before he had covered Vili with it as a makeshift blanket and doomed it to its fate a lifetime ago.

Reaching into the chest, Vili buries his fingers in the fur collar that had once been soft and fuzzy and had smelled so strongly of Ubba. Now it is rough and matted in places with mud and bits of crinkly leaves and what Vili is certain are spots of his own blood. Now it smells musky, like the earth after rainfall; like dirt, like leaves, like trees, like rocks, like—well, like being trampled.

Heart pounding in his chest, the scar there aching more than it has in a very long time, Vili stands and pulls the cloak up with him, the fabric unfurling like a flag, like a sail, like a dream, as it rises out of the chest like a ghost; his hands gripping the fur collar as they had once gripped that elk’s antlers, white knuckled and full of fear and a dawning realization—

“Have you found the bandages yet?” Ubba asks, his voice still far off but drawing closer as he speaks. Vili instinctively turns to the sound of it. How could he not? How could he not?

Ubba stops short as he rounds the corner into the room and he looks surprised, but Vili thinks maybe he doesn’t look surprised enough. He’s not forgotten about the cloak, Vili is certain of it. He’s only surprised that he had found it.

For a moment longer Vili holds it up between them, as if it were some finery that he had spotted at the tailor’s stall in a market, as if he wanted Ubba’s thoughts on it.

What do you think of the color? He would say.

It looks good on you. Ubba would reply.

As if they weren’t in the middle of another war, as if he wasn’t supposed to be looking for bandages instead of old memories; instead of old nightmares.

“I thought it was lost,” Vili says as he lowers his outstretched arms. He’d thought that in the rush to get him back to the camp it had been left behind and long forgotten. Ubba had never even mentioned it again. It had been just one cloak of many after all. “You went and found it?”

“Do not give me too much credit,” Ubba says after a gentle laugh, before closing some of the distance between them. “I did not know to look for it, but it did fall back into my hands. It had been found under the elk’s body when they moved it.”

In hindsight, that made a lot more sense then Ubba actively searching for it. He hadn’t meant to be wearing it that day, and Ubba hadn’t seen him wearing it.

“I kept it in case—”

“I died?” Vili finishes when Ubba’s words fail him.

“Yes. In case your past deeds were not enough. To prove to Eir that you had a good death.”

Vili snorts and looks down at his fur filled hands.

“I would have been the fool of all Valhalla,” Vili says, laughing a little.

“Death makes equals of us all, Vili. But even so, I am certain that Odin has a sense of humor.”

KINGS // Vili & Ubba // AC Valhalla

[krankittoeleven]

Snippet Sunday?!

Because Wednesday is sort of like a weird void in my week and I can't seem to remember that it's Wednesday when it actually is Wednesday, I present to you Snippet Sunday. It's just like WIP Wednesday, except it's on a day my brain acknowledges the existence of. =D

This is another snippet from CH 12 of Water of Life, just a quick little bit from a fluffy little scene with maybe just a little reminder that OH YEAH, these guys are Vikings that get in fights and stuff. LOL Hoping to have the chapter out next week but next week is also the most chaotic week of the year when all of my clients come yelling for tax advice despite the fact that I am not a certified accountant. So IDK, it depends on how needy everyone is *eyeroll* I love my job except the week before taxes are due.

Anyway...

Sighing, Vili casts his gaze over Ubba as he sleeps on his back. He is quiet and still except for the slow and steady rise and fall of his chest. It almost feels like an intrusive thing to see, like a private part of Ubba’s life he had not previously had access to, except in Jorvik when Ubba had been recovering from his injury. But even then, that had not been sleep so much as potion induced unconsciousness in which Ubba had often looked pained and uncomfortable, despite his many protests to the contrary upon waking. Any other time and Ubba would have been awake long before Vili had begun to stir, but here and now in the growing light of the early morning, Ubba looks comfortable and relaxed and it eases some of Vili’s anxiety that had been stirred up by his return.

Slowly, lazily, Ubba rolls onto his side, his hand sliding along the bedding as if he is searching for something. Searching for him, Vili realizes, as he uncrosses his legs and stretches them to their full length, giving Ubba’s hand something to find.

“You are awake early,” Ubba says, his voice husky with sleep as his hand settles on Vili’s ankle, his fingers caressing first, then squeezing.

It was still such a relief, an almost unbearable weight in and of itself, to feel Ubba’s touch again.

“Maybe you’re just up late?” Vili suggests, not wishing for Ubba to know just how much his being gone had affected him.

Ubba smiles, only half of it visible with the way his head is turned.

“Maybe,” Ubba agrees before he pushes himself up into a sitting position.

Vili scoots closer to meet him, and now he can better see that small patch of gray hair above Ubba’s lip that he’d noticed the night before, that he’d been staring at since the light first lit upon it that morning, and the new scar that leads up towards his cheekbone. Gently, Vili reaches up and turns Ubba’s head to the side and caresses the scar with the fingers of his other hand.

“What did they do to you in Dorstate?” Vili asks, curious not only about the scar, but also if it had come before or after the gray.

“Not Dorstate,” Ubba replies. “Even at home, I have the occasional enemy, perhaps in part because I left.”

“I hope they walked away worse off because of it,” Vili says, smiling, as he imagines Ubba very deftly defending himself.

Ubba turn his head back towards Vili, a surprisingly serious look on his face, considering the moment.

“They did not walk away.”

Ubba’s eye meet Vili’s and he holds them in his gaze, like he is frozen in a glacier.

“Good,” Vili says before leaning in to press his lips first against the scar and then Ubba’s lips. In all things he would have Ubba emerge victorious, no matter the cost.
