The Story - Sihtric X Ealswith
A/N: This was requested by anon. It’s taken a while because I was revising for stuff and now I’m getting back in to it.
I’ve redone this story so many times 😅 and I still don’t think I’ve got it right so I’m really, really sorry if it sucks. Also I’m tagging everyone who was apart of my Finan fic :)
“And what is it that you want tonight?”
The woman sat straddling Sihtric’s lap, her mouth teasing the skin at his neck. She was popular, extremely popular and after a few weeks he’d finally managed to get her alone.
“What’s your name?” Sihtric asked her.
“My name? You’re paying and all you want is my name?”
“Yes.”
“It’s Ealswith.”
First if all, can I say how much I love the premise. Sihtric falling for woman who has no name, wealth, inheritance or family is brave. And as for Ealswith, she's simply adorable and likeable from the start.
I enjoyed the slow build of their relationship.
The fact that Sihtric paid for her time only to converse, was heartwarming. When Ealswith confessed that no man had ever asked her anything, let alone her name, it was heartwrenching.😔
Awesome to see that in the end, Uhtred was able to trust Easwith not to hurt Sihtric.
P.S.
I'm sorry but this has to be said. Uhtred is a nut.
"You want to marry a whore?" Uhtred asked, looking at Sihtric like he'd lost his mind."
When I read that, I lost it!
