The Last Kingdom Fanfiction
Continuing where Wolf-Heart left off, at Season 2, episode 5. Finan and Faoladhean navigate parenthood while serving under Uhtred's command as the peace in Wessex comes to an end. This story will continue through the several-year period between the end of s2 and start of s3.
If you are new here, please go back to Wolf-Heart and start there - everything will make much more sense that way.
REMINDER/DISCLAIMER:
Very little is actually known about the Picts and their beliefs, language, etc. There are a lot of educated guesses and suppositions, and I have attempted to incorporate as much fact as I have been able to find in my hours of research.
THAT SAID...
I have definitely taken a lot of creative liberties with my creation of my Pictish OC(s). Also, I realize that modern Irish language is called "Irish," not Gaelic, and is very definitely a separate language from Scots Gaelic. However, from what little I have been able to find in my research, it is likely that circa 900 c.e., the Irish and Albans/Scots (and the few remaining Picts) spoke a version of Old Gaelic that was similar enough to be understood between the two. So when I reference anyone speaking Gaelic (vs Irish), it is with that in mind.
Basically - don't come for me if it's all too fantastical. This is fanfic, it's supposed to be fantasy!

Shaylee had nothing more to lose when she sneaked into a boat and left her homeland Ireland for good. She had burned all the bridges behind her, and her future was more than uncertain. All she had was a name. A name her grandmother told her and might belong to the only family she had left. But would he be willing to take her in? Or were all the stories true and he also did burn all the bridges connecting him with his Danish past. Would Uhtred Ragnarson take in the daughter of his Danish brother and will she be able to build a life in a foreign country? And would this life be better than the one she left behind? Without fear, without pressure but with a loving family, maybe even a family of her own?
