Ah! I love this so much. Definitely a real favourite find and I can count those fics on one hand---still with left over fingers.
I patiently await your next chapter since you write quite long ones and the quality is much higher than preeeetty much all fics floating around on here---if it weren't, I'd want this tomorrow...but then I wouldn't be reading it :)

Good. I can go to sleep now. It's 2:22am :|
Date: 17 Nov 2013 1:54 PM Title: Chapter 4
I hope that Bella will be able to talk to him about the "duality" and that it's that which upsets her. I feel like Edvard is quite oblivious---and out of no fault of his own.
Date: 17 Nov 2013 1:07 PM Title: Chapter 2
Again, just gotta say that I'm really impressed. This is more thought-out than most fics, and I think the argument at breakfast was a good show in that. It wasn't just useless drama. And it's interesting to see the distinction between Edvard as a leader and Edvard as a lover.

I really liked this. Nice to see good writing on here -- phew!

Thanks for the historical notes, very informative!
Date: 10 Nov 2013 12:04 AM Title: Chapter 18
wow, this story is so romantic, and the love between the viking and bella is a true bridge between two worlds. I can't wait to see them together again and to read about the wedding and Edvard finding out about the baby!

Date: 08 Nov 2013 7:26 AM Title: Chapter 18
Absolutely loved it and I can't wait for more :)
Date: 08 Nov 2013 7:08 AM Title: Chapter 18
Thank you for resuming this story. I have read a few Viking stories in the last years, thanks to True Blood Eric, but this was my first and by far my favorite.
Date: 08 Nov 2013 6:41 AM Title: Chapter 18
I hope Edvard returns home swiftly & safely...and faithfully! I hope he doesn't cheat on Bella in any way while he's away!
I also hope that Bella isn't showing before his return because it might cause trouble. Maybe she can confide in Ro-se or Ester before his return, & let them know that she is carrying Edvard's child - they surely would put her mind at ease, or help her in some way. I hope she gets the little boy that she's been wanting that looks just like Edvard - even morso than Brandr does. B&E deserve that.
However...I must say that a lot of the Viking ways are very strange, to say the least, & I'm not sure I could live with a woman who not only used to be Edvard's thrall, but also bore him a son...who just so happens to be Edvard's mini me. It was bad enough back when Edvard had blatantly taken Jutta to his bed while Bella had to just sit back & take it, suffering, let alone this. It's just TOO much to ask, or expect of someone you supposedly love. :( How would Edvard feel if the shoe were on the other foot? He'd probably kill someone!
To me, it would also be very off-putting to see the man I loved not only have a child with someone else, but also not take care of him in any way, or take an active role in his parenting...setting back happily watching while another man raises his son. It's awful, really. Unlike Bella, it would cause me to have serious doubts about wanting Edvard to father any of my children.
In truth, Brandr is Edvard's first born, & a son no less, so technically, he is next in line as heir to the throne (or should I say chiefdom? LOL). How bitter will Brandr possibly feel someday when he realizes the truth of everything...when he notices how much he & Edvard look alike? Will he become like Jamar? I sure hope not, although I don't see how he wouldn't feel a little bit of scorn...especially when E&B's children will be loved & cared for by Edvard, calling him father...while he cannot, & never has been able to.
I would also not be able to just "forget" my God just because it had been demanded of me, or because it might "offend" them. Too bad! First, they kidnapped her, then made her a bed thrall (humiliating & degrading)...then, she has to learn their ways & their language, so she SHOULD keep her God, no matter what! Even if she has to do it privately, she should never deny God, especially for some pagan idols. I know I WOULDN'T!
But I DO love this story, & can't wait for the next chapter! ;)

I love love love this story. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Date: 08 Nov 2013 5:07 AM Title: Chapter 18
YAY!!! I'm so excited! I understand how busy life can get, but I look forward to when you have time to return it. Thank you!
Date: 08 Nov 2013 4:44 AM Title: Chapter 18
I am loving everything you do can't wait to see what you come up with next! Your amazing :)
Date: 08 Nov 2013 4:11 AM Title: Chapter 18
Loved it! As to the kvenna hus, women are women everywhere. Even the Puritan women settlers in the early U.S.A. brought their spinning wheels and sewing and went visiting. The purpose was to sit and talk together while still remaining at work and not idle. We need to communicate with one another.
Bella better hope Edvard returns in time. If he takes too long, hiding her condition will become difficult - especially from Arndis, Ester and Ro-se. I love the depth you give your. Situations and characters! Thank you
Date: 08 Nov 2013 3:34 AM Title: Chapter 18
So glad you decided to post here. I was starting to miss this story.

I hope nothing happens to her or the baby. I also hope that she doesn't get into any trouble with Benni or anyone else from their home. Can't wait for more.
Date: 07 Nov 2013 11:57 PM Title: Chapter 18
Bella is so brave.. I can't wait for edvard to come triumphantly home! Can't wait for the next chapter.
Date: 07 Nov 2013 11:53 PM Title: Chapter 18
I love this story fact or not it is the best. I have reread all now I am waiting for the new chapter. Is there going to be a time jump or is Jamarr going to come back to the village for revenge. I just cant wait ok I guess I can lol

Woo Hoo For the engagement!!!!
Date: 07 Nov 2013 2:39 AM Title: Chapter 17
I find it so strange that the Vikings were considered barbarians yet look at the differences in the way wives were treated. Wives and children were treated with respect and cared for!
Thank you for sharing. I followed this story on FF and am so excited to see it continued here! I certainly love this story enough to reread but I cannot wait to get to the new stuff.

How could you not love Arndis and Beni! They have not simply housed Bella but given her a true home filled with love and kindness. Marvelous chapter!
Date: 05 Nov 2013 11:33 AM Title: Chapter 16
I started reading this story this weekend. I was so entrapped with it that I haven't gotten much sleep and my children have worn the brunt of my tiredness. So far it has been that good that I couldn't put it down.
I understand and the pressures of real life that you have put your story in hiatus but I hope you find time and inspiration to continue this story soon.
Love it so far. 😊

Can't wait to read the next chapter.
Thanks xox
Date: 04 Nov 2013 10:42 PM Title: Chapter 16
Wonderful chapter! I truly love the areas of culture you give us. Edvard had better make an offer foe Bella; he just my combust if he doesn't. Also, the inside look at Beni and Arndis' marriage and home is wonderful. I look forward to reading more.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 5:58 AM Title: Chapter 16

Date: 04 Nov 2013 3:22 AM Title: Chapter 16
now she is free love it
Date: 04 Nov 2013 3:14 AM Title: Chapter 16
Great chapter. I have a feeling that Edvard is going to be very remorseful.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 2:48 AM Title: Chapter 16
Thanks for another update! I don't think I could turn Edvard away either.
Date: 04 Nov 2013 12:11 AM Title: Chapter 16
Not sure Bella realizes just how much Edward held back at the feast watching every one dance with her. XOXO,Cheri
Date: 03 Nov 2013 9:28 PM Title: Chapter 16
naughty Edvard. Love her being free now though

I am so glad I found this story again. I love it so! Thank you for sharing it with us.
Date: 01 Nov 2013 5:49 AM Title: Chapter 15
Wonderful! Change is in the air...for many it seems! Jacob, Ro-se and Emundi, Miki and his new partner...almost everyone. I'm interested to read Bella's experiences in her new home now that she will be free. You never. Disappoint in your storytelling! Thank you!
Date: 31 Oct 2013 5:10 AM Title: Chapter 15
Why do I feel so afraid for what will come? XOXO, Cheri
Date: 31 Oct 2013 1:54 AM Title: Chapter 15
sure hope Jetta will be happy with Miki and that Einaar was reasonable. Yey for Bella and news for Jakob.
Date: 31 Oct 2013 12:36 AM Title: Chapter 15
I am so excited!!! You are almost to the part where I left the story in the other website!
Date: 30 Oct 2013 5:29 PM Title: Chapter 15
I think that Bella is going to be expecting a baby before Edward gets back.
Date: 30 Oct 2013 5:16 PM Title: Chapter 1
I'm so pleased that things are looking good for them! Very pleased Ro-se is on the mend after her awful injuries :-) sooooo curious about what is next! There's a new household, the potential return of Jammar, Edvard's months away...EEEEEP! So excited already for the next update; thank you!
Date: 30 Oct 2013 4:51 PM Title: Chapter 15
What was the last chapter that you left off on before you started reposting??
Date: 30 Oct 2013 2:34 PM Title: Chapter 15
What a great night . Jarrma is such a creepy bastard I cant wait till they get him.

Thank you.
write soon

Glad E is entrusting her to Beni. He and Ardnis seem really sweet.
Date: 28 Oct 2013 4:10 AM Title: Chapter 14
Another chapter so soon! This weekend gets better and better! Again, your characters are rich and three dimensional - like Arndis. She could have been written as being jealous or sulky. She isn't though. She is warm, friendly and secure. Kudos!
Again, I adore this work. It reminds me of some romance novels I have read. I never want to put them down and sometimes read them over and over. Thank you!
Date: 28 Oct 2013 3:29 AM Title: Chapter 14
so confusing for her but it is all kind of cool.

Date: 27 Oct 2013 1:01 AM Title: Chapter 13
Words can not express how very much I adored this story! Having just discovered it, I continued reading - ignoring updates, e-mails, TV...you name it. I read it from chapter 1 on through this chapter and loved every bit. You have helped teach me about Viking culture, language, clothing, etc. along the way. The love stories are outstanding. I pluralize because I find it impossible to seperate Edvard/Bella from Emundi/Ro-se. One is the building the other the aspiration. To achieve the bond that Emundi and Ro-se have takes trust and work. That is Edvard and Bella at this point. Your characters are rich and dimensional and every part of this story is a marvelous gift. Thank you for a marvelous read! I look forward to more.

AS YOU CAN SEE I COULD'NT NOT CONTINUE READING. IF I OFFENDED YOU IN MY LAST REVIEW I TRULY AM SORRY IT WAS NOT MY INTENT. FOR SOME REASON WHEN I READ THIS STORY I FEEL BELLA'S PAIN SO DEEP WITHIN ME IT HURTS IN A WAY I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND SO YOU MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT. I READ THIS CHAPTER A FEW LINES AT A TIME BECAUSE I FEARED FOR BELLA'S HEART BUT OBVIOUSLY " WE " GOT THROUGH IT. I LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEXT CHAPTER AND AGAIN I APOLOGIZE IF I OFFENDED YOU IN ANY WAY.
Date: 25 Oct 2013 10:11 PM Title: Chapter 13
so sweet and loving. i love this fic.
Date: 25 Oct 2013 10:07 PM Title: Chapter 13
I think its for beni to decide, I knew there was a method to the madness I liked this chapter I'm glad they r still on track please please please update soon
Date: 25 Oct 2013 8:38 PM Title: Chapter 13
Well i feel better after this chapter last one left me crying. Who is you to i wonder. Will it be Ben? Do you know on your front says this story is on temporary hiatus? Just thought I'd mention it. Looking forward to next update.

Glad Ro-se is able to have more children. She is a noble and brave soul. Ok, I am assuming that he freed Bella so no other can take her or harm her without consequences if they do!!
Date: 24 Oct 2013 4:15 AM Title: Chapter 12
So upset right now...He has to get her back, and soon, and this next update better come soon aswell.

Oh no..plase make him change his mind.
Date: 24 Oct 2013 2:42 AM Title: Chapter 12
Im so glad to read that rose will be able to have more children! thank you.
Now to edvard freeing bella - in a way it is a good thing, she is free and in a bad way that she is no longer with edvard in anyway.
So what is to happen for them to come back together?
Date: 23 Oct 2013 8:55 PM Title: Chapter 12
Oh you didn't go there. Oh no!!!!!

Author's Response:
I had 18 chapters up on FFN and I'd really like to emphasize that I didn't leave, they took the story down without telling me first.
