Vinland Saga (Manga)

I Found

by kate7h

Canon Divergence: What if Thorfinn had gone with Leif after Askeladd died? What if Gudrid was able to successfully stowaway on Leif's boat when he travelled to York? Slowly, Gudrid walked towards the place where the boy -Thorfinn- was sitting. His face was empty of anything, his eyes down as he stared tiredly at the wood. "Uh… hello," she said quietly, leaning down to speak to him. He said nothing, making no acknowledgement of her presence whatsoever. "So, you're Thorfinn?" Again, nothing. She frowned again, wondering if there was anything she could do. He seemed like he'd been through something pretty rough, although she couldn't imagine what. From what Leif said, he seemed to have no problem communicating before. Now he was nearly catatonic. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him.

Tired Eyes

by comfycocoa123

Einar, the new slave assigned to Ketil's farm, begins to take notice of a small, meek boy named Thorfinn. After an altercation with farmers leads to Thorfinn getting seriously injured, it is up to Einar to take care of his friend and ensure it doesn't happen again. But what Einar doesn't realize is that Thorfinn has a past far darker than anything he could have imagined. And perhaps the boy does not deserve to be taken care of at all.Basically, allowing Thorfinn to be soft and FINALLY having someone take care of him because he deserves it. Mixed with a bit of angst to make things more interesting ;)

Collide

by kate7h

“I have no confidence at all that I could ever make you happy.”   “That’s not what I asked...!” She said, almost in an accusatory tone. “Do you like me or not?”  “No, I mean…” he backtracked, feeling flustered again. “You’re Sigurd’s wi-“  “Murderer or scoundrel. Wars or no wars. I don’t care about any of that,” Gudrid interrupted him, her words forceful and stern. “Just… do you like me?” ~ A continuation of chapter 161.

falling leaves, blinking stars

by blueteaseason

Although his eyes seem to be closed, nor does he seem awake–you've never seen anyone sleep with such…rigidity. It’s as if his entire body is tense, ready to jump up at the chance of any disturbances. Like a predator lying in the wait, its body vibrating with impatience..Or maybe it’s the opposite, you thought, looking at the boy’s tired figure–a helpless prey, knowing it’s being hunted, looking out for the return of its hunter. Written for the Vinland Saga Secret Santa 2021 exchange!

For the Days of Youth You Lost

by kate7h

Thorfinn was probably the most genuinely good person Gudrid had ever met. It was hard to believe that there was someone who actively despised him. But there were probably a lot of people like that from Thorfinn’s past...It had been about four years since Thorfinn had been released from prison for manslaughter… I’m head-over-heels in love with a convicted felon… what would mom say…? But as she looked back at his soft, dark eyes and the gentle smile on his lips, she decided that she just didn’t care. -Modern AU: Thorfinn lives with his best friend, Einar, and they meet and grow close to the girl who moves into the apartment upstairs from them.
