Alternate Universe in which, instead of renouncing his birthright and being killed by his mother Queen Judith, Aethelred becomes King of Wessex and dedicates his life to his country, his religion, and his wars against the pagans invading his lands. During one fateful battle, the King is taken prisoner and made to heel by two Lothbrok brothers, Ivar and Hvitserk Ragnarsson, princes of Kattegat and scourges of England.
Birthday present for lovely @ofmanderley with whom I have discussed shared this idea, and who has become a simp of Ivared/Hvithelred because of my bad influence. Honey, thank you for your friendship and time and work for this pairing, I hope you enjoy <3!!!
