Summary
Karl realises, belatedly, that he is taller than the warrior that stands before him.
It’s an amusing thought, and one that would’ve brought a smile to his lips, and perhaps even a note of laughter if he weren’t for the fact that he was standing before an army of warriors, each armed and well armoured, his own hands bound.
Or: Karl can’t help but be terrified when he is given to the viking invaders as sacrifice.

Summary
Karl doesn’t wake so much as his mind crawls into consciousness as slow as the sun rises in winter, yet still cold and unwilling of warmth.
It feels as if it were winter now, without how cold Karl is no matter the bear skins laid over him, or the blankets, but Karl does not move nor make a sign that he is awake when there is another weight laid over his hip and a face tucked into the back of his neck, breathing soft, warm air over open skin.
He doesn’t shudder, but it’s a near thing, and Karl sends silent prayer that this morning will play out as every other.
Because it has been a week, but Sapnap has yet to touch him.Or: Karl learns that while his Father effectively sold him into marriage, the vikings did not see it as the same.

Summary
“Careful,” Sapnap grins, his own tankard full of their raided rewards. “We took that off of an Arabian merchant ship, so it’s not what you’d be used to,” before taking a hearty drink, laughing at the sharp expression Karl shoots at him, with all the familiarity of a close friend.
And they are friends now; have been for months, after Karl stumbled his way through the misunderstanding of an arranged marriage.
He’d come into it without choice, Sapnap knows now, and so too does Dream, although he and his council are less aware of the details of Karl’s fear, but Karl had stayed and that was his choice.Or: Karl has carved out a place with the vikings where he thrives. Someone takes offence to this.

Summary
Karl feels too small, too frail in his arms, but Sapnap can’t think about that as he gathers him close, unbothered by the blood wiped against his shoulder as Karl’s head pillows against it. He’s breathing, reedy and thin, eyes glassed and that ignites a panic beneath Sapnap’s skin near unlike he’s ever felt before.
He’s been on the battlefield a thousand times, he’s watched his friends and brothers struck with arrows and swords, battle axes and spears, and sometimes they haven’t rose again, but this feels different and altogether a new kind of fear, because Karl was sleeping and then he wasn’t, and now he’s too small and too frail in his arms, blood dripping from his mouth and his lungs revolting against the air he draws into them.Or: Karl gets hurt and Sapnap doesn’t pull his punches.

Bravery Is Half The Victory by Dragonire

Summary
Karl wants to forget.
The memory of vomit in his mouth; the quick flushes between hot and cold; the worry of everyone around him as they muddled their way through the shock of him being poisoned. He’s not sure what is worse; that fact that his father’s carelessness meant he was the one sweating on the table, choking on whatever concoctions George could force down his throat to suffocate the poison before it could suffocate him, or the fact that father had tried to kill someone who he’d grown to love.
As if that would be enough to make Karl return to him; a father who sold him for land and power, and a man ready to kill his husband to marry and sell Karl off all over again.Or: Following the aftermath of Karl’s father poisoning him, the vikings return to their village to prepare for war.

Summary
“I’d ask you to share your troubles, but I think I can guess what’s on your mind.”
Sapnap doesn’t raise his head, prompting Punz to nudge him. “He’s safe. He’s back home, surrounded by our brothers and sisters. His father wants him alive more than dead because he wants Karl as heir, or at the very least to give him an heir,” he continues, not taking heed of his words as they trickle over Sapnap’s mind and although he will never claim Karl as his for fear of being the idea of the man Karl thought he was marrying, something possessive in him snarls at the thought.
“I’m worried,” Sapnap says instead, which is an understandable emotion considering the state he’d brought Karl from East Anglia, and the weeks following that saw him near a fire when he was strong enough to get out of bed, doing what he could even if he could hardly spare the energy to whittle arrows, sharpen blades or help prepare the food for the rest of the clan. Too often he would sit and stare off into the distance, as if the gods had taken his mind and his focus; Karl ailed by his thoughts and whatever his mind replayed for him over and over.Or: War is coming and to be able to defend their own, Dream sends Sapnap to call upon potential allies.
