Johanna of West-Francia is once again stuck in the waiting room of her father, the Frankish king. Will he marry her off for a 3rd time or will he send her to the convent of Senlis? Neither option sounds appealing, so the young widow decides to take matters into her own hands. She has learned a thing or two from her time in Wessex and more specifically from her late husbands' negotiations with Northmen. West-Francia too is plagued by Viking raiders and in an attempt to prove her worth to her father, she explains to him the advantages of a hostage exchange. One of the advantages being the opportunity to spy, she doesn't stop there and volunteers to be the first Francian hostage in her father's dealings with the Vikings. What she didn't count on though was Tyr of Danmark, the Viking leader's infuriatingly attractive son and his lack of decorum when dealing with a Frankish princess. If only he would stop calling her Tove, she might be able to focus on her mission and return to her people a heroine, but Tyr seems to have his Gods and their magical powers (aka an obnoxiously persistent white dove) at his side, chipping away at her resolve one brooding gaze at a time. #TEGSA2025 @officialTEGSA Content Warning: since it's Vikings ... probably some violence & gore, since it's me ... probably some (consensual) smut (but more romance, always more romance)

So Queen Marigold had her husband beheaded. What of it? The adultering loser had broken her heart. What she didn't expect though was that her trusted council would turn against her and that her sister Elsbeth, second to the throne, would use this momentum to overthrow her reign and banish her to Baile na Grod, which - let's be honest - is nothing more than an inhospitable rock in the ocean. As surprising as that chain of events might be, nothing could've prepared her for the shock of her creepy-ass jester volunteering to keep his queen company in exile. What the fuckety fuck fuck! She might as well throw herself off a cliff right now. 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 ONC2025 entry Prompt 52.

She chose to work for Stark, knowing that she was the best one for the role. She knew that her life would be different, working with the worlds most notoriously egocentric man, hell superhero, but she didn't care. She knew he needed help, staying on the right path and that's exactly what she did for him. What she didn't expect, was that one day, she'd meet someone worse than Tony. He claimed he wanted to take over the world, her world, but she was determined to stop him. Taking something valuable from him, ended up with her being thrown through the window from the tower, and hitting bottom, literally. She hated him with everything she had, knowing it was all his fault. But having him here again on earth, 'reformed', is what she was told, brought it all back, her nightmares, her anger and her desire. He made her life hell, for what he did, and now it was her turn, to destroy his life, in every way she could. Even more moody than Bucky, more sarcastic than Tony, more powerful than Wanda and definitely more angry than Hulk, the god of mischief better stay out of her way, if he knows what's good for him.

Exactly what the title says, short one shots involving Loki and his love interest. Mature audiences only

A dual pov narrative from both main characters-Loki and Annalise. If you enjoy slow burn, immersive stories, with a good plot and the long awaited spice, then stop your search. Here is the story for you! As the newly crowned king of Jotunheim, Loki embarks on a quest to delve into the hidden history of his land, seeking to understand its past. To his dismay, he uncovers a distressing truth: Jotunheim had been exploited by other realms, resulting in the loss of precious treasures during its period without a ruler. Fueled to reclaim what rightfully belongs to him, Loki successfully sets forth on a mission to retrieve each and every lost treasure. However, one realm in particular proves a significant challenge-the formidable realm of Vannaheim, protected by a heavily fortified Great Wall. Loki sees this as his ultimate test, believing that conquering the impregnable wall will earn him a place in history. Yet, a surprising twist awaits him beyond the wall. Behind its mighty defences resides Queen Annalise, a force more powerful than mere bricks and mortar. Their meeting awakens emotions within Loki that he never anticipated-an intense love that compels him to do anything in order to win her heart. Even deceit. But just as he thinks he's gained everything he's ever wished for, an evil foe enters, threatening to take it all away. For those 18+ mature readers only.
