Summary
Cold fingers furled around his clammy hands and squeezed.
“Yes King Harald, It is Canute. There is no need to worry about the kingdom.”
To hell with the kingdom, Harald thought. The kingdom tore them from their mother – claimed their fathers love and left them nothing but anguish.And now it had claimed his brother, too.

Summary
It started small when they had been forced to huddle for warmth in the wagon. Back then Canute had reciprocated the stray touches without comment and let his guilt and confessions hail down on Willibald later.
But now there was nothing to confess. Canute was already on the path of sin. And no amount of indulging himself in Thorfinn would doom him any more than killing his own father would.

Summary
Canute does whatever he can to keep Thorfinn, though it might cost him everything.
“You want to kill me now.”
The words steal his breath with their truth. Thorfinn looks at him, from under his filthy bangs, eyes piercing and bruised. Something in Canute’s chest flips over at that look, at how wounded he is. He’s broken. He’s been broken from the first moment they met, but now he’s lost even Askeladd to hold his pieces together.
“But if you fight me like this, it’s not fair. You have to wait until I get stronger. Be my guard until then, and I’ll duel you, warrior to warrior.”
Thorfinn’s gaze is unflinching. Canute reaches behind him and pulls the dagger from the folds of his fur-lined cloak. The blade is a part of Thorfinn, like the crown is a part of Canute, now. He hands it over, hilt first.
“Or, you can kill me today. Right now, right here.”

Summary
It wasn’t love. It was companionship. It was a warm hand and body for a man who’d not felt tenderness since childhood and a sense of agency for a man who’d led his entire life believing he had none.
A series of vignettes of when Thorfinn and Canute found comfort in one another.Bookmarked by Daase

Summary
Thorfinn doesn’t have the sense to understand what he’s starting, but it starts with silent teasing nonetheless, mean-spirited and petty. A small pinch to the side of the neck that makes Canute flinch and let out a surprised yelp. A hard elbow nudge to the hipbone, one that Thorfinn knows will leave a sensitive ache in its wake. Canute is offended and bothered and on edge and it’s so goddamn unsatisfying.
