Summary
Legend has it that the first Viking set foot onto English soil on June 8, 793, at Lindisfarne abbey. It must have been a bloody affair, with only a hand full of monks surviving to tell the tale of a cruel, merciless band of brutes raiding the Island. It was that single attack which had shaped the meaning of the word Viking in the world I had returned to.
But let me tell you a secret - that awful legend has it all wrong.

Summary
The place was Cafe Bercilak. The place you went to drown your sorrows, forget your sins, gamble your life away. Tony hadn't been much for the last of those. The first two, though ...
And then, the shadow of war finally swept over Morocco, and brought past sins along with it.
An Avengers/Casablanca fusion, essentially. Tony-centric. Will possibly head in a Tony/Loki direction, later.

Summary
The sun was hot, relentless, beating down on soldiers clad in uniforms designed for much colder climates. Heavy red wool was all very well and good for cool, wet England, for guard duty at Buckingham and putting down rebellions along the northern border, but, in the dry heat of India, it was a misery.

The wall was a shambling, looming hell, draped over with the bodies of England's dead and dying sons; the remains of the Forlorn Hope, those poor bastards who'd volunteered to make the first, suicidal rush against Seringapatam's fortifications.

One of these film stars happens to be the charismatic yet enigmatic Adam Lambert. When Adam boarded his train bound for Chicago that morning, he had no way of knowing that a routine journey would prove to be something he would never forget.

Summary
Feelings were never the best resolved issue in Alternia, especially due to its blood line concerns and medieval structure, and the very fact that its throne is at the heart of a war doesn't help much. When a rejected Prince declares war against the house of Peixes and all the families they patronized, will the love affair of Alternia still be the same? Who is going to be loyal to their political alliances and who is going to follow their heart? Will Eridan forgive Feferi or try to feel better using Sollux? Is Karkat going to learn how to send the right signs to Terezi?
And last but not least, will Dave overcome his inner struggles with his feelings for John?
