Lagertha season four / five gifs requests by @edenslegacies [ 2 / - ] 

[kiingvar]

@edenslegacies​ ( for lagertha )

♕ —   it’s ASTOUNDING, how she thinks her honey laced words have any meaning to ivar. how she thinks if she’ll REPEAT the same offer of peace he’s had enough of hearing already, he would somehow change his mind. 

     let things go. 

          break the promise he made.

   it’s almost too funny, at this point. “ -- you can say whatever you want, lagertha, but we both know that that’s not going to change the course on which we are now.”

@edenslegacies​​​   ›   greek mythology!   ›   send me a fandom and i’ll tell you which character i’d write ( accepting )

greek mythology   ›   i have.... so many thoughts on literally Everyone tbh... i’ll tell you a secret, i actually have helen of sparta/troy and orestes on my not-so-official future muses list, like i want to read some more things before settling on a characterization but i have many thoughts already!!!! for helen i’d try to do a similar approach to what i’m doing with hera, try to Unfuck the narrative and point out the ways in which she is a victim, i might even mess around and stray from the Text bc i’m freaky like that <3 and orestes is just a dumb sad bitchboy and i collect those,,,,,, i love the whole ass pantheon so much and i have very specific characterization ideas on some ( and then 0 on others oops ) but if i did add more greek gods i’d love to write nyx ( literal primordial allpowerful being too grand to be touched by any mortal bs ), bia ( the rasputin tiktok sound with ‘he was big and strong’ where women show off their muscles,,,, ), harmonia ( soft babey rights ), amphitrite ( where do i begin i have so many thoughts but The Sea Herself? yes ), chloris/flora ( demeter rocks but i just think that meadows.... wild flowers...... overgrown vines......... ) or athena ( My First Love need i say more ).... also i’ve developed a huge soft spot for memnon from the iliad but i’d rather someone write him with me because i have so many emotions on him and his mom eos. also hector of troy is the love of my life and i’d perhaps like to try my hand at menelaos for bastard rights,,,,, i have very many thoughts on both of them and the iliad as a whole.... but also i’m ngl demigods ocs Own me, not pjo based but i have a demigod lore developed with some of my friends and my mind just keeps producing ocs i can’t help it kjdfkj jeff is just the first taste !! i have many more Bastards to come, including a son of apollo and a daughter of aiolos, the immortal king and keeper of the winds !! and then Maybe more i have Many half-developed concepts in the back of my mind but don’t tempt me kdfjdjk

❝ bjorn trusted you without question and so you have my trust as well. ❞ she wishes to rule over kattegat in the same manner of those who had come before her: bjorn, lagertha & ragnar but she knows it will be difficult to follow such giants. however, it is of a comfort to know that she has ubbe rely on and just as she has said, she trusts him. it is true that he and bjorn have had differences in the past but the two brothers have always stood shoulder-by-shoulder. ubbe will help her to protect bjorn’s legacy.

❝ there is much at stake here for the both of us. many will want kattegat for themselves. who would not, after all. ❞

he smiles at that, knowing fully that she is genuine. she seems to be one of the most genuine people that he has ever met and he is filled with a deeply seated respect towards her. she is someone that is set above most of others, most of the people that surround him. his smile fades some before he reaches his hand out to gently take hold of hers. “ if it is the last thing that I will do I will defend this city and keep you as Queen here. to follow in Bjorn’s legacy as well as my father’s. “ carefully he lets her hand slip from his own. “ and I am filled with honor knowing that your trust is placed in me. “

❀ ❀ ❀          an encounter with faevelyn   :     jabberwocky   ( @edenslegacies​ )

❝  what is the difference between fear and desire? ❞          her experience with mortals is limited, and she has not lived a fraction of the lifetimes of some exceptional folk     ;     she does not know these things.    curiosity sparks in her crystalline eyes anyways, rapt and hungry, as she leans forward to interrogate.          ❝  it seems nearly the same thing, in a way.    humans are afraid of their own hearts . . .    and why would they brave cemeteries, or the woods after dark, if they did not crave the chill of fear?  ❞

          ‘ hey french fry. ‘ fifteen minutes to just be peter parker, to not have a police radio chattering away in his year or rushing off to follow sirens. he just wanted an opportunity to not be spiderman for a little bit. and, even if harry was busy, he could still bother cassie for a bit. ‘ what do you say to coffee and a little long-exposure photography? ‘

@edenslegacies​ peter for cassie

@edenslegacies​ said: An unexpected kiss that shocks the one receiving (for caroline!)

it was her eyes that finally did it -- that finally broke the tension that had been building inside of him. he had never taken liberties with a well-bred young lady, but when caroline’s eyes met his across the supper table, her lips smirking above the rim of her glass, he knew that resolve was on the verge of crumbling entirely. when the meal finished, the women rose to retire to the sitting room, leaving the men to their cigars and brandy. but his eyes followed her graceful form. something in the way she carried herself told him she knew full well he was watching her. when she was gone, he shifted impatiently in his seat. what cared he for talk of the latest horse race or boxing match when she was mere steps away? but he could hardly follow her now -- it would draw too much attention. instead, he sat there, making only the occasional grunt in response to the conversation. he was not listening, but rather hatching a silent plan... it was almost absurd that he had not yet kissed her. tonight, he thought with a smirk, that would change.

when the men at last rejoined the ladies, he did not immediately seek her out. it was an unspoken truth between them that they would find themselves at each others side eventually -- it had been happening for weeks now, after all. on dance floors, in the back rows of musicales, on walks in hyde park. that they were drawn to each other had become an undeniable part of their ever deepening... acquaintance. and so, only after twenty minutes and several pleasant exchanges with other guests, he approached her. the door to the terrace was open beside them and the ends of her hair lifted in the evening breeze. he knew better than to attempt to brush them away from her cheek, but his fingers itched with the urge to do so. then, as if someone in the party had sensed that his control was eroding quickly, the pianoforte sounded merrily in the room behind them, drawing the attention of every guest firmly away from the pair by the terrace. 

an almost triumphant smile flitted across his lips. sparing a quick glance over his shoulder to assure himself they would go unnoticed, he slipped her hand into his and tugged her onto the terrace. outside, he pressed his back against the wall of the house, drawing her in close against him, ignoring her gasp of surprise. anyone who stepped outside would see them -- and somehow that prospect made the thrill even sweeter as he he took her face between his hands. under different circumstances, he might have given the moment more fanfare, but he was not about to waste this opportunity for the sake of such trifles. he pressed his lips to hers -- not gently, or even tenderly. he simply needed her to understand. and when the kiss ended as suddenly as it had begun. the smirk returned to his lips. 

“  shall we return, miss penvenen?  ”    he said, teasing her lightly even as his heart pounded in his chest.    “  i should hate for our presence to be missed...  ”
