Yuletide fic 2014: Dragons of the North (Vikings)

Jan 01, 2015 16:29

Here is the fic of Drama and Sleepless Nights. Well, there's a bit of both in the fic, but mostly it's what happened when I was trying to tame this little beast. I'm sort of happy with it. Next year, no vikings and no fandoms which require me to read Edda again! (I love it, but this is the second year in a row...) I'll probably write a rec post later when I've had time to go through the collection. So many shiny things!

Dragons of the North (link to AO3)

Fandom: Vikings
Words: 5988
Rating: Mature
Relationship: Athelstan/Ragnar
Additional Tags: canon-typical violence, polyamory, background relationships, crisis of faith

Summary:
In this year fierce, foreboding omens came over the land of the Northumbrians, and the wretched people shook; there were excessive whirlwinds, lightning, and fiery dragons were seen flying in the sky.
- The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle
Athelstan's journey from the monastery of Lindisfarne to a strange northern land and beyond. The longest journey takes place in his soul.

There's introspection and poetry and a slow build. There is also porn, but I still have a sneaking suspicion I'm growing up.
