“I loved you.” He could sense flickering memories pouring through their bond—a little boy running through grass and laughing. Him. And he could feel the smile on her face as she watched him, feel the love that poured down the bond between them. “I loved you so much it broke my heart to leave you. But I had to. I wanted… you to know that.”

oh sirius... he didnt deserve to lose her again 😭

Sirius swallowed the lump in his throat as the big man started breathing again. Thank the gods. Being mated to Malin had turned him as soft as porridge, and he’d been damned close to a tear there. No need to show it though.

ALMOST!

“You could have warned me!”
Sirius gave him a perplexed look. “Warned you about what?” His expression suddenly lightened. “Did you think I was going to slam into the cliffs? Foolish mortal. I rule the skies. And I wasn’t about to let that puny princeling beat me.”
“Not. Funny. I nearly shat my trousers.”
Sirius was still snickering as Bryn alighted with Marduk.
my favourite bromance duo is back! 🥰

“Rargh!”
Tormund staggered back with a cry, landing on his ass in the snow. His heart leapt through the roof of his mouth, and he gaped at the one-eyed prince.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
Sirius was laughing too hard to answer. Behind him, Marduk merely shook his head, though his lips twitched with a faint smile as he held out a hand to haul Tormund to his feet.
“I have been waiting all morning to do that"

“My love would never be a chain. My love, when given, would be a gift. It would be my arms around you when you wanted to hide from the world. It would be my axe to guard you when you could not guard yourself. It would be a kiss to your forehead, to remind you that you are cherished.If you wanted to storm Valhalla, then I would pick up my axe and march at your side"

how can you NOT love him?! 😢

“I thought you glorious. You were reckless, and hard, and fierce. You were beautiful and fiery and though you try to hide it, kind. I thought you a woman I could finally hope to court.One I could—"
“You thought me a woman you could call your own."
“Yes, I thought you the woman I could finally call my own.” But the way he said it wasn’t the way she'd meant it. "Mine,Bryn.Mine to hold and cherish. Mine to love."
ANGST!

He sighed. “You’re an annoying little gnat, but you have a good heart, Tormund.”
“Did you… just admit that you like me?”
A baleful glare almost incinerated him. “Don’t push your luck,” the prince snarled, shoving to his feet.

i am more invested in this bromance than the actual romance 🥰

“Your eye is glowing,” Tormund said.
“All the better to see your many bruises. Not so pretty now, you big fool,” he muttered, grabbing Tormund’s face and examining the other side. “It looks like you kissed a fairly large boulder.”
“Aye. Maybe several of them. Not my best seduction."

these two are so!! and when sirius swayed and tormund cought him but pretended it was for his benefit to spare sirius' pride? everythin

“Knocked from the sky?”
Marduk glared at him. “There were three of them, and I was forced to defend Haakon"
Sirius shrugged, crossing to his travel bag. “There were sixteen in the end. And they squealed like children when I pounced.”
“Not all of us are murderous, vicious thugs.”
“No, some of us are spoiled little princes who’ve never known a day of hardship in our lives."

marduk is annoying af so far

“If you had been there—” He shut his mouth abruptly.“Stellan had the means to mold Magnus into a monster. If he’d had a mother, then he may not have turned out as such. The only thing I mourn is the chance my brother never had to avoid his fate.”
“I fulfilled my part of the bargain between your father and myself. I gave him two sons—”
“And Father gave you a throne. Tell me, was it worth it?"

this breaks my heart
