    Summary

    'Before you,' he said, 'you can see more women than warriors. Cowardly, unarmed, they will give up the moment they see the weapons and bravery of their conquerors who have given them such a drubbing so many times before.' (Tacitus, Annals XIV.36)

    The first time Clarke sees the Head Girl she’s sitting on a throne, presiding over her dominion with a piercing stare and a crown of braids in her hair. Her warriors are spread at her feet, a multitude of them, all long-haired and wild and clad in identical brown regalia. There’s something of the sacred about her, like the crimson cloak draped across her shoulders and her divinity are one and the same.

    Or at least it feels that way.

    British girls' boarding school AU. Obviously.

    Summary

    “Your vision is clear.” Valka levels her with an even look, and Eivor could feel the fight steadily beginning to drain out of her. “You will betray him—you will betray Sigurd.”

    And there is a moment, an awful, horrible moment, where she thinks, Randvi.

    Or;

    Eivor, hiding away after her meeting with Valka and the arrival of her brother Sigurd, broods.
