I like your Gods and Monsters story very much, especially all the incidental details. You mention your friend's input -- are argr, seiðskratti, and klámhogg genuine parts of Viking culture?
Yes! I plan on posting informational links to the community for my story as well, not just for the pairing. One link is for a paper on homosexuality in the Viking culture, and it had plenty of vocabulary words. That was the starting point for following up the initial first chapter; I knew I wanted to write something as a sequel, and then I looked at that information and got the idea to have Ahmed victimized by the Northmen. I didn't quite think the story would blow up to be this huge, but I'm still having fun writing it.
