Tarben's thoughts during Eivor's fight with Dag
for all my asscreed girlies (gender neutral) <3
everyone: tarben is a baker now not a mercenary he can't have dark thoughts
me:
a new fic idea i though of at work:
eivor is critically sick/injured, valka can't heal him, and tarben is desperate
eivor weaving flowers into tarben's beard and hair 🥺 tarben letting the kids make him flower crowns and eivor fondly watching 🥺
sigurd's been back for a few months, but no one deemed it important enough to inform him of his little brother's engagement.
a snippet:
"Your brother has been staring at me the whole night."
Tarben doesn't let the flow of the conversation around him falter as he says this to not draw attention to the fact that the Norse prince has, in fact, not taken his calculating gaze off of him since the feast began.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the baker has a lapful of viking whose tongue is sweet with honey mead and who happens to be the prince’s younger brother. Tarben hasn’t officially met Sigurd yet, but he has a suspicious feeling that while he is welcoming toward those seeking refuge in his clan, he would not be too keen on anyone trying to steal his Eivor’s heart.
Eivor hums and turns toward where his brother and sister-in-law are seated, tilts his head, and hums. "Perhaps he has realized how pleasant you are to look at." Tarben's wearing his hair down for once and Eivor scratches his blunt nails all the way through it, delighting at the small shiver it draws out of his beloved, pressing a kiss to his temple. "It is too bad your heart is already spoken for."
not to be back on my eivben bullshit but eivor and tarben love each other so much 🥺😭
ubba gave me a silver ring so, naturally and unsurprisingly, i'm off to propose to tarben
tarben: it's always nice to see your face
really 🥺 even after what i did 🥺
