Æthelflæd

Like please oh my god in like season 3 (I think) he seemed annoyed and possibly a bit jealous when Edward and Aethelflead were around, especially when Edward mentioned his and Aethelfleads being siblings in that one scene. This mf huffed and puffed his way outta that situation you CANNOT TELL ME HE WASNT JEALOUS OR ANNOYED. And he was so fucking sweet eith Aelfwynn when she was sick like WE ALL SAW HIM HOLD HER HAND AND GET SUPER WORRIED BUT at the same time he couldn't be overbearing and tell Eadith to stop because he's a bastard and she's not his family by any right.

And then he was like a brother to Aethelstan in s5, you could tell he cared about him.

Wow... This handsome Dane warrior can sing and play guitar?

a/n so this is for the arseling music challenge @carlya65 song Let you love me by Rita Ora. A bit of a different spin on the actual song itself hope you all enjoy :D

Uhtred could never sleep the night before a battle and this night was no exception. He tossed and turned but sleep would not come. The sun had begun to rise so he dressed and made his way towards a nearby stream. The outcome of this battle like Ethandun would decide the fate of the last free kingdom-Wessex. The future of the entire island lay on this very day. The plan was a sound one but depended on too many factors for Uhtred's liking namely on their allies. The men of Cent and the men of Mercia. Mercia he thought Uhtred did not have much faith in Aethelred the turd his wife however. This last year Aethelflead had blossomed. She had the respect of her subjects and of her men and he couldn’t help but wonder what Gisela would think if she were watching them now. Would she be pleased he had found another destined for his heart? Would she be surprised and possibly even proud at how Aethelflead had grown? 

Uhtred recalled their time at her estate the young brave Lady was quite the warrior now and after that kiss he found his thoughts of her had developed and took on a different feeling altogether-desire. What a cruel joke the Gods were playing on him. That this wonderful woman should be cursed with such a man for a husband and that he now found himself desiring the one woman in the kingdom he could not have. If he were any other man a simple man he would gladly ill her husband and take her for himself. Like Erik he found himself prone to irrational and illogical thoughts. But he would not let them cloud his judgement. He could not. Was that weakness? Was it these feelings for her that made him vulnerable? Or was it strength that enabled him to resist her charms? He should never have been alone with her that morning but Uhtred always seemed to go looking for trouble or rather trouble always seemed to find him. Oh how he wished he could lie with her let her love him and he with her. Oh how he wished they lay together stay right until til the sun came up that he could have her as his one and only. What was the matter with him? He could find himself in Valhalla this very day yet despite all that was left to do, to avenge Ragnar's soul, he couldn’t help but think of those lips and how he longed to be able to let her love him.
