____________________
She has mixed blood. She is reminded of it every day. Half Scottish and half Norse, she has always been a bit of an outcast. She takes refuge in the arts of swordsmanship and archery, something those around her deem unfit for a girl.
When men from the north come back to the Isles again, the King of the North decides to take Lagertha back to his homeland to be his wife.
She is savvy enough to persuade him that she should be set free from his wedding plans, but The King of North has another idea in mind. He intends to make the myth of the shield-maiden real and there is nothing she can do to stop him.
Caught up in a bloody war between clans, Lagertha must decide if she is willing to go against all she believes and abandon her home to protect her friends or if she will leave her new life behind to return to the one she was torn from.

"Goddess of the Shieldmaiden" A Vikings x MCU Romance Crossover
When Odin banishes his true firstborn daughter to the mortal realm, Hela Odinsdottir plummets from the sky and crashes into the world of Vikings. Stripped of her divine power and left with nothing but rage and pride, she awakens in Kattegat-wounded, furious, and fully mortal. There she is discovered by Lagertha, a shieldmaiden destined for greatness, who offers protection instead of fear. Lagertha has faced kings, rivals, and treachery, but never a fallen goddess with eyes like midnight and a heart trained for war. Despite their differences, a fierce connection forms: the mortal queen who refuses to bow and the goddess learning to bleed. As Hela begins to reclaim her strength, whispers of her presence reach beyond the mortal world. Asgard wants their lost weapon returned. Thor and Odin descend, threatening Kattegat with annihilation if Hela refuses to submit to her chains again. To save the woman who taught her the meaning of love, Hela must choose between the realm that betrayed her and the only soul who has ever seen her as more than death itself. Their passion could reshape destiny-or ignite a war the gods will not survive. A bold reimagining of Thor (2011) merged with Viking history and legend, where love defies the gods and a shieldmaiden captures the heart of the Goddess of Death. Content Warning: This story contains mature themes including violence, war, trauma, death, and the darker nature of power within both mortal and divine worlds. It also features an adult lesbian romance with explicit sexual content between consenting characters. Historical brutality, morally complex decisions, and intense emotional conflicts are present throughout. Reader discretion is advised, especially for those sensitive to depictions of battle injuries, divine punishment, and passionate relationships that include graphic intimacy.Complete
Thorn Rose (PUBLISHED)
"Forgive me God for I have sinned. I allowed a Northman's lip to touch my own, to touch me neck and travel the length of the sensitive skin. My blood writhers, yearning for his touch. A quenching urge for desire and O'Lord, my eager flesh burns with raging fire." When the powerful Jarl, a ruthless and merciless Viking, takes a sudden interest in Faylin, a nun he captured on a raid, she vows not to let his wiles distract her from what is truly important - her faith. His very presence is what fuels the fire within her, allowing the hatred to fester. He destroyed her world and she watched it burn to the ground, crumbling and descending, shattering into pieces of hopelessness right before her eyes. Though what happens when she starts to realize that beneath the Northman's toughened shield lays a forbearing soul, lost within the darkness and the shadows of his own façade? Stricken by this realization, the possibility of humanity under such a barbaric character, Faylin finds herself torn between her fears of eternal damnation and desire, struggling to keep her sanity as she dances on that very thin line between love and hate.
