Rebellious Bad Boy Aethelred

This was requested by one of my best friends @shieldmaiden25 I hope it’s like you imagined it would be!!

The pics aren’t mine but the collage is!!

Prince Aethelred

A/N okay, I wasn’t quite sure how to go about this as we haven’t seen *too* much personality yet, but I don’t care, I needed to give my boy some love because someone (*cough* Judith *cough*) doesn’t. Also, this sort of contains some season five spoilers. Not really tho lol.

Pairing: Aethelred x reader

Summary: reader is Aethelred’s nurse when he gets hit by an arrow

Warnings: mention of blood, wounds, arrows, stuff like dat 

You looked up at the sound of screaming for help, your hands dropping the cup you held as you quickly stood. Your eyes widened at the sight of Prince Aethelred being carried through the rain by two men, one being Prince Aethelwulf, his long legs dragging behind him with an arrow in his shoulder. Forgetting about the short break you’d been given, you threw everything off the table you were sat at before beginning to prepare the supplies; shouting for them to bring him to you. They did as told, Aethelwulf shouting,“Help him!”

Aethelred moaned as they laid him down on his side on the table you’d cleared off, and you instructed the men to carefully cut his shirt and armor off. Aethelwulf watched with his hands in his hair, panic all over his face. You looked at the half awake prince in sympathy, before examining the wound. The arrow had gone all the way through, which made it easy to take it out.

You snapped the back portion of the arrow in half, the boy groaning lightly at the movement. Aethelred writhed in pain, a hoarse cry escaping his throat. You looked up at his father who was muttering words to his son, that you ignored. “You’ll have to hold him still, Prince Aethelwulf. I need to take this arrow out before he loses too much blood.” He nodded, standing and waving two other soldiers over. They all held him still, and you carefully began to pull the arrow out. Aethelred screamed just as Judith came running over, but before she could reach him, he was unconscious.

Long live the King...

Author’s notes: SPOILER ALERT – SPOILERS FROM EPISODE 16 OF VIKINGS SEASON 5B! I couldn’t avoid this. It was such a horrid scene that I just couldn’t avoid writing for him immediately. I never liked Aethelred, the girls are here to confirm, I don’t write for the Saxons very well and usually, I make them play the villains. Aethelred is usually the bad stupid boyfriend in my Modern Vikings AUs, or the Angry Saxon just like his father was, but man, I was growing to love this boy after the way he saved his brother at the battlefield. I was growing to understand this boy’s sadness since – in a friend’s words – “he’s the Sigurd from the Saxons”. And like Sigurd, he ended up too soon, in a horrid death that he didn’t deserve by the hands of a mother who neglected him until the last moment. So as Sigurd, he deserved a better end. So as Mads, Sigurd, Margrethe… He earned this better end in my hands.

Warnings: SPOILERS FROM EPISODE 16 OF VIKINGS SEASON 5B! Mentions of death, murder, treason and a horrid mother receiving a deserved payback.

Words: 2138

You loved him.

Since you were a child and your mother were a servant in the castle where you were now working in her place, you saw him around his father, learning, playing with his brother even when his mother was so careful about precious Alfred.

It wasn’t the pearl in the eyes queen the jewel of that castle in your eyes.

Prince Aethelred was strong and fierce, even he was just learning how to be a warrior. But he was already shining in his armor like a knight to your attentive eyes, hidden behind the pilasters, watching his training.

When your mother died, you took her place at the castle on the same day of her burial. And you were sure God Almighty found a way to soothe the pain in your heart with his sweet words to the tears he noticed in your eyes when you first served his table.

“Don’t weep for the ones who are already with our Lord for they stopped suffering as we do.”

Anyone would have seen those words as harsh words. But not you. His eyes on yours, his attention, even for a single moment of your life, made you thankful and dried your tears for the rest of the day.

Time reblog Part II coming soon

Forever reblog because it's an AWESOME fic and has the arc Aethelred deserved!! ❤

Even if you're not a huge Aethelred fan, please read this. It will move your heart immensely. His character was used as a plot device and deserved better.

Judith parenting her sons, Prince Aethered & King Alfred

I don't like Princess Judith but adore Aethelred❤ and Alfred❤.

She's an awful human being and an even worse mother. Judith starts fires and then asks why the building is burning. Don't even get me started on that ever present smirk.........😒 girl bye!

Like, go somewhere with your non-aging character design! And take your Season 1 face and hair with you!
