Summary
Much later, Uhtred would replay the unfolding events of this dark night over and over again, obsessively trying to recall every detail, every thought and action, and every bitter, beautiful consequence. His next moments - his next decision - was destined to forever haunt him, drifting into his mind like a cloud on a clear day and finding a home there.

Summary
What if Uhtred had told Alfred about the request Aethelflaed made when he visited her in Beamfleot during season 2? The single decision will alter the course of history and throw all of England into turmoil. Wars will be fought, lives will be lost, and destinies will change.
This is about building a kingdom, piece by piece. It's about building trust, even at a great distance. But mostly it's about realizing what you are and what you want, and then reaching for it with both hands.

Summary
"I am nothing to him, and he is nothing to me."
It had been a year since Beamfloat, and Uhtred had never wanted to see the king again. There was nothing left to be said, after the library. Nothing left but cold and ash - but when Alfred marched back into his life again, Uhtred, his men, and his king are swept up into a wild, whirlwind journey, across sea and ice, unbidden as always to the wild whims of fate.
Sequel to "Rumination" - but can be read as a stand-alone as well.

Summary
Uhtred knew they were coming seconds before they descended on them from the tree lines.
Cold dread seized his heart, a full-grown panic that made him dizzy. This was an impossible position to defend, he knew it. He grabbed for the handle of his weapon and, for a fraction of a heartbeat, looked at Alfred, who was looking back at him with wide eyes, pale and fragile, clearly unprepared. Uhtred drew his sword.
“TO YOUR WEAPONS!” he shouted from the depth of his chest. “DEFEND THE KING WITH YOUR LIVES!”
