a/n: I don't know what to say so just fuck off Rubiales, Vilda and the Spanish Federation

*not my GIF*

Pairing; Laura Wienroither x Chelsea WFC! Reader; Chelsea WFC x AustriaWNT!Reader (also Zinsby x platonic!reader)

Summary: You love Laura since as long as you can remember but she's oblivious so, this season you decide to get more direct but you can't count on your teammates for help.

Type: Fluff AF

Warning: nothing

word count: 1916

note: in a univer where the two LW never tore their ACL

--------

You've known Laura since you were young. You both played together back in Austria, and you quickly fell in love. Well, the problem was that even if you showed her your affection in every possible way (staying polite and respectful, of course), she never got it.

Coming back to England after the national break, you had one idea in mind: definitely confess your feelings for the last time. But you didn't want to be rude or anything, so you needed a plan.

And what is more helpful than an almost-married couple on your team for love advice? So, for your first day back at training, you were quick to find Magda and Pernille, who were chatting about something.

"Moms, I need your help." You declared getting instantly their attention, as well as other teammates' in the room. "I want to confess my feelings to Laura, and I need advice."

There was silence for only two seconds before all the room burst into clapping and cheers. All your teammates knew that you loved the defender since you joined the club last summer, and it was confirmed when they saw how you act around her every time you played against Arsenal.

"And that's when we make our apparition." Sam said, sliding to your right side, while Guro was sliding to your left side.

"Uh, well, actually, I wanted..."

"Don't worry, Y/n, we're the best wingmen, well, wing women, you could dream of." The Norwegian cut you off, making some of your teammates laugh.

"I really appreciate that, but..."

"Where are we starting?" The Australian said this time, "Oh, I know. We can make a big panel with 'Laura, I love you' written on it."

"Yeah, and you could show up at their next match with it." The winger approved.

"But I think we can do better than that." Sam said, she was really thinking deeply about that.

"Don't you think we should stop them?" Pernille whispered to the Swedish defender.

"Yes, but I want to know how far they'll go," Magda admitted.

And that's how the whole training session went: the two players proposed some extravagant ideas, and you politely refused them.

"And if we do something more simple?" You asked, gaining their interest, and you watched around to see something that could help you until you spotted Eve. "We can just write her a poem with flowers." You proposed.

"It sounds boring." Guro said, hurting your feelings.

"Yeah, totally overacted." Sam confirmed.

"Well, at least it's still the most realistic thing to do." Niamh said, coming from nowhere.

"Yes, and it's still pretty romantic if you find the good words." Jessie added.

The two strikers looked at each other for a long moment before agreeing, "Okay, we will try that." The Norwegian said.

You released a breath you didn't know you were keeping and thanked your auto-designated sisters. Now, the second step was to write the best poem, and for that, you had an idea.

Back in the locker room, you were searching for someone when you collided with Magda. "Hey, careful little one. Why are you running?"

"I convinced Sam and Guro not to do one of their plans, and now I need help to write a poem." You replied.

"A poem? It seems pretty romantic." The Danish said.

You didn't stay longer and resumed your way to the locker room, where you found your French teammates. "Eve, I need your help."

"The last time you said you needed somebody's help, which was literally a few hours ago, you finished being chased by Sam and Guro during the entire training session." She gently reminded you, making you laugh.

"View it like this; it's a little funny." You admitted. "But really, I really need your help. I convinced Sam and Guro to give up their crazy for something more... realistic. And now I need someone who knows how to write a poem."

"I don't know why, but it sounds more unrealistic than their crazy ideas." The French player joked. "I'm not really good at writing poems, so let's not talk about writing them in English or German, but I can suggest some famous poets if you want."

"It would be fantastic." You said. After a few names written in your notes and a little drive back home, you were ready. You spent almost all your next free day writing it, and when you were proud enough, you let your teammates give their opinions.

"Honestly, it's pretty cool." Millie said.

"Yeah, we can feel all the love you have for her." Pernille added, making you more proud.

Now only one last step remains in your plan.

A few days later, Laura was ready to train with her teammates when Katie came in the locker room with a letter.

"Girls looked at what I found. They said it was for some of us, but there is not a name, just the initial LW." After hearing this, Manu almost groaned in exasperation.

She was aware of your crush on the defender; she was the one who made you realize it, and she was the one who convinced you to finally confess your feelings. You read her the letter, and her reaction was the same as your teammates'.

Everything was good, but she should be prepared for you messing up at least one thing.

"And there are flowers too." Stina remarked.

Lia Walti and Laura were focused on the flowers, while Leah Williamson was reading the letter loudly. When she finished, everyone in the locker room was shocked by this. It was more than good; for some, it was maybe the best thing they heard, but one question was on everyone's mind.

"Who wrote this?" Katie asked.

Leah looked at the bottom of the paper, and her eyes were wide open. "Y/n Y/l/n." She announced.

"What, Y/n, like Chelsea's player?" Jen asked.

"Apparently yes." The blonde captain replied, a little surprised by that.

"Well, now the important question is, who's LW?" Manu asked, trying discreetly not to put more pressure on you.

"Well, she's not clear about. She talks about a recent injury, but the three of us had a recent injury, so I don't know." Lia replied.

"Well, if I remember correctly, we play them tomorrow, so maybe you could ask her after the game." Frida said.

Meanwhile, Laura was processing everything. It was impossible that it could be her; maybe you just fell in love with one of the older players during your first season here. She didn't know, but somewhere in her mind, she felt like she would be sad if you didn't talk about her.

The next day was match day. You were really worried because Manu told you the next night that you messed up with the most important part of the plan, and now her teammates are trying to figure out for whom you wrote this.

In the locker room, Magda sensed that you were a little stressed by that and tried all she could to relax you. "You can always tell her everything in person if she doesn't understand it." She told you, joking about how many times you tried to be subtile, but the defender never got the hints. "You just need to be you. You're an amazing person, and I'm sure she doesn't need a poem or flowers to see that, but you'll need all your courage today to tell her how you feel after we beat them, okay?"

Like your captain predicted, you won the game, and you even assisted on a goal. But now the real thing could start. On your way to Arsenal's side, you were stopped by some teammates wishing you good luck. You walked to your destination until you were stopped by two figures just before you reached your national teammates.

"I think we need to talk." Leah said with a treating tone. You looked at the two of them, a little confused.

"I think she wants to say that maybe you have something to say to us." Lia corrected when she noticed how you seemed uncomfortable.

"Uh, I don't want to be disrespectful or anything, but what are you talking about?" You asked.

"What do you mean you don't know–" Leah started to say a little irritated by the situation, but she was cut off by her teammate.

"Who is LW?" Lia asked. It took a moment for your brain to understand what was happening. The two players, the irritated tone, LW, and—wait, LW? The letter?

"Oh, my god, are you talking about the letter?"

"Yes, we're talking about the letter. What did you expect?" The blonde captain asked.

"But why did you read the letter?"

"Because you wrote it." The brunette said this time.

"Wait, does one of you have a crush on me?"

"What? Of course not!" They told you at the same time. "But you have a crush on us," the English player added.

"Me? Of course not. Well, don't get me wrong, but my heart already belongs to someone else."

"So why did you write something like this if you already love someone?" The Swiss captain asked.

"Because LW is Laura." You said like it was obvious (technically it was). There was a little silence after your words; the two Arsenal players exchanged an awkward look before they looked behind them to finally notice the Austrian player.

Laura seemed shocked by the news. Fortunately, the two older players left you after they apologized for this misinterpretation.

"Oh." The defender said.

"Yeah. Oh." You repeated.

"But since when?"

"I don't know, maybe since we played together back in Austria."

"Wow, it's been a long time then. But why didn't you tell me anything?"

"Are you kidding me?" You rolled your eyes. "I really spent all my time giving you hints. It was so obvious that Sarah and Laura treated to lock us in a closet until I found the courage to confess. And it was only on our second camp."

"Wow, now I feel stupid." She said, and you laughed a little. "I mean, at the last camp, I heard you talk with Sarah P, and you said that you already had a pretty girl in mind when she asked you about meeting one of her teammates."

"Yes, that's because this pretty girl is you." You said and almost cringed at how it seemed cheesy.

Laura played with the hem of her shirt a moment before she met your eyes. "Can I ask you something?"

"Go on."

"Do you want to go on a date with me?"

You were shaking, unable to control yourself. "Yes, of course yes." You replied, and she smiled.

"Can I ask you another thing?"

"Yes."

"Can I kiss you?" At this moment, it was like your soul was leaving your body; you felt too much happiness for a lifetime. You nodded with a big smile on your face. She approached you, and being smaller than you, she landed one hand on your shoulder while the other cupped your face. She pushed on her toes and gently pressed her lips against yours.

"Finally!" Manu yelled. "It started to be physically painful to see you two in the same room doing nothing but looking at each other like teenage girls."

You pulled away to give her the middle finger until you heard Pernille said "Behave Y/n." You groaned but returned your attention to the girl in front of you, pressing a quick peck on her lips before joining your teammates.

I talk a lot of shit about norwegian people but in honor of constitution day I will be nice. the bunad is so beautiful and iconic and i also I think it’s so fun how they’ll dress up like they’re in a painting from the national romantic art era from the 1800s, and then do tequila shots and scream the lyrics of songs about doing coke

A Thing Of Vikings Chapter 133: A Wulfhild, Enfolded

Chapter 133: A Wulfhild, Enfolded

…and while the beginnings of their familial and romantic relationship was shadowed due to plots and machinations, there is no question that Wulfhild Haddock I was also an integral and beloved member of the Haddock family. The only legitimate child of King Olaf of Norway by his wife Astrid Olofsdotter of Sweden, she was maneuvered into marriage with then-Heir Hiccup through the plotting of the the Norwegian court chaplain, Father Henriksson, as part of a plan to ensure a Christian heir to the rising kingdom of Berk. This backfired on the Father, since Wulfhild, as a direct result, waited to baptize her children with Hiccup until they were of age to consent. While this led to other complications, including rumors that she was a secret Jew, which were used to discredit and demonize her…

[...]

…soon, after her husband assumed the throne in AD 1044, Wulfhild gave up her position as Head Almoner and instead took over Hiccup’s role as Herald and chief diplomat. There, she was instrumental in forming the political bloc of allied nations that dominated the global political sphere for most of the next one hundred and fifty years…

"Christian Skredsvig (12 March 1854 – 19 January 1924) was a Norwegian painter and writer. He employed an artistic style reflecting naturalism. He is especially well known for his picturesque and lyrical depictions of the landscape. He was born and grew up on the Skredsvig farm in the parish of Modum in Buskerud, Norway.

When he was 15 years old he became a pupil at the drawing and paint school of Johan Fredrik Eckersberg in Christiania. After Eckersberg's death in 1870 he studied with Julius Middelthun at Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry (Den kgl. Tegneskole) in Kristiania (now Oslo). He followed with four years of apprenticeship (1870–1874) in Copenhagen under the supervision of landscape painter Vilhelm Kyhn at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts.

After several years in Paris he moved back to Norway in 1886 and settled at the Fleskum farm in Bærum. His new home became a gathering place for painters, poets and musicians. Eilif Peterssen, Kitty Kielland, Harriet Backer and Erik Werenskiold all made trips to the farm. Skredsvig's famous neo-romantic painting Seljefløiten (1889) was painted by the Lake Dælivannet in Bærum. He also conducted study trips, to Corsica in 1888 and to southern France in 1891.

In 1894, he moved to Eggedal in Sigdal municipality where he built his home Hagan. In the natural landscape of Eggedal, Skredsvig found inspiration and motives to paint".

Bee reference

Doing a proper reference of Bee, in a similar style to my other reference posts. Details here will be changed as the story progresses :)

This is pretty long as well lol

Age: 26 - Birthday: December 18th

Full name: Beatrice Gold Gubberson

Nicknames: Bee (is refered to this more than her real name), Wasp (somewhat hurtful, was used when she was angry and dangerous), Bea (what her family called her, the parts of the family that she doesn't like tho), Bumblebee (her dad James, and her uncle Owen, called her this), a variety of tall jokes/references from Scout

Pronouns: She/her

Romantic attraction/sexuality: Panromantic asexual

Nationality: Her mother's side is Norwegian, while her dad's side has lived in the USA for a while. So she is half Norwegian

Job: Ripperdoc (the best term I could find for it, it's from Cyberpunk (game)). She is nicknamed The Fairy and has worked as a ripperdoc for 5 years. She does high-quality work that gets paid a lot for, especially whenever she has a commission from the Institute, so she has the financial means to have lots of free time and work on personal projects that might be expensive

She wears glasses with those little magnifying glasses on the side for smaller jobs, and more ridiculous looking ones for bigger ones

Powers: Healing powers. Manifests as small floating lights nicknamed "fireflies" and glowing eyes when used a lot. They manifest with a golden/yellow hue, to symbolize strong magic and happiness. Can heal organic material, but work best with flesh (humans/animals), and cloth almost doesn't work. They are highly calming, used mainly to calm people whenever she works on them as a ripperdoc. The fireflies act like how many people describe twitch chats in mcyt fanfics, and have been with Bee since her powers manifested at 10. Her mother had a similar power, but Bee's fireflies are able to physically interact with objects and living beings, and can be heard by others unless Bee doesn't use her powers or she quiets them

Bio family:

Mother: Abigail Gold Gubberson - extremely bad relationship (they haven't spoken at all in around 10 years), but Bee got her powers from her

Father: James Gubberson (deceased) - very good relationship when he was still alive, she was a daddy's girl. Died when Bee was 14, and the reason she has Milo. Although he didn't approve of how Owen tackled his show and how he saw his puppets, he tried to support his brother as much as possible, at least emotionally

Older sister & brother (twins): Lily & Oliver Gold Gubberson - bad relationship, being their mother's golden children and having a general snobby and “better than you” attitude they have nothing in common with their younger sisters. They are 3 years older than Bee, and therefore also not alive when the Handeemen was brought to life (although their mother was pregnant with them)

Younger brother: Simon Gold Gubberson - decent relationship, they don't talk much but at least they don't hate each other as Bee is with the rest of the still alive part of the family. He is 5 years younger than Bee

Uncle: Owen Gubberson (deceased) - good relationship, Owen was somewhat of a mentor and teacher to Bee, her inspiration for her craftsmanship. The older by 3 years of the Gubberson brothers. He left everything he owned to Bee. I will make Owen his own reference as well, as he is slightly different than canon

Grandfather: — Gubberson (unsure if he is alive or dead) - A cruel man, and as such he was not allowed contact with any of his grandchildren. All Bee knows about him is that he sent money to her uncle to fund his show as an “apology”, but that neither her uncle nor her dad has ever forgiven him for what he has done to them

Physical looks:

Curly, shoulder-length hair (dark brown) loose or tied up by a bandana

Gray eyes

Freckles

Tall and lanky, but has prominent muscles

Small chest

Clothes:

Usually dark colors

Sweatshirts and weird t-shirts (wack graphic designs)

Tons of hoodies, as the hood part of those are one of Scouts favorite places to be

A bandana around the neck, tying hair up, or just in the pocket (blue, with small white flowers embroidered on it)

Loose pants with huge pockets

Combat boots

Overalls with big pockets in front, where Scout likes to sit

Generally, if it has pockets, she would wear it

Formal clothes:

She has two different ones, the most common, and a traditional Norwegian one

Common: A black pinstripe suit with a little cape, something similar to this

Traditional Norwegian clothing aka a “bunad”: A Oslo bunad, the light blue one (this is the one I have, so obviously my oc has one as well):

Does not consider herself religious, but “believes in” a group of gods that is called “the Prime Court”. The reason she “believes in”, is because she has met one of the four gods in this one a couple of times. There's four of them, Lord Thedes god of Creations, Rex Iias god of Battle, Noen the Overseer, and Karin the goddess of Death

Vigilante: Her vigilante name is/was Nightlight. The only one aware that she did this was Owen, plus her group of friends (Percy, Alex, and Olive) who were also vigilantes. They mainly did smaller things, as the town wasn't too dangerous (the most dangerous part of town was around the Handeemen studio). She is retired as a vigilante though, only having used the suit and mechanical arms again to keep an eye on the Handeemen studio. She had a black anti-tear pants, a black hoodie, a full face mask, and mechanical arms similar to Doc Ock from spider man (imagine whichever you want, but I prefer the one from spiderverse)

Personality: Deeply caring and loyal. Usually takes on a mom friend role or an older sister figure in a group. Pretty smart both academically and emotionally. A pacifist (remember that if someone is a pacifist, it means they have the ability to harm. If they don't have the ability to harm, they are just harmless). Takes a lot of pride in her work, and it took a lot to get to where she is (she started doing that work around 16 years old). Love language is physical touch, acts of service, and quality time. Loves her friends and found family a lot, she would die for them. Sees Scout as a younger sister (they are also besties)

Sharing her room with Scout, from the beginning it's what made both of them feel the safest. They have the largest bedroom (and the largest bed, its kings size), and share the space pretty equally, although adjustments were made for Scout to reach places

OTD in Music History: 26-year-old Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg (1843 - 1907) watches the world premiere of his Piano Concerto in Copenhagen in 1869. It is an immediate and enduring smash hit. Other notable musical personalities in attendance at that historic event included noted Danish composer Niels Gade (1817 - 1890), and famed Russian pianist-pedagogue Anton Rubinstein (1829 - 1894) -- who actually provided his own piano for use at the concert! One of the most popular and beloved "classical" composers of the 19th Century, Grieg's skillful use of Norwegian folk music in his compositions for the concert stage did much to help his country cultivate its national cultural identity, just as Jean Sibelius (1865 - 1957) did for Finland and Bedrich Smetana (1824 - 1884) did for the Czech Republic. Grieg's spirited rhythms often have folk song associations, and his harmonies -- although firmly rooted within the mainstream late-Romantic idiom -- were considered to be both novel and piquant in his own time. Between 1867 and 1901, Grieg wrote ten collections of "Lyric Pieces" ("Lyriske Stykker") for piano; many of these short and beautiful little "character pieces" are still performed today, especially by students. Although he was essentially a miniaturist, Grieg did complete several major works in larger forms -- most notably, his justly-famous Piano Concerto, and the "Peer Gynt Suite" (1876) and "Holberg Suite" (1884). Grieg's Piano Concerto also holds a special footnote in history for being the first piano concerto ever recorded -- by Wilhelm Backhaus (1884 - 1969) in 1909. Due to the extremely primitive and limited nature of recording technology at the time, however, this historic recording was heavily abridged, and runs to only six minutes in length... Grieg revised the Piano Concerto at least seven times over the ensuing decades. The final version of the work -- which is typically heard today -- was completed in the last weeks of his life. PICTURED: A real photo postcard showing the middle-aged Grieg, which he signed and dated just a few months before his death.

Harald Oskar Sohlberg (Nov. 29, 1860 - 1935) was a neo-Romantic Norwegian artist who studied with Zahrtmann at Den kongelige Tegnesskole. Sohlberg specialized in landscapes and town vistas, often featuring churches and cemeteries, usual depicted by night.

He is well represented at Nasjonalgalleriet in Oslo, and one of his canvases, Vinternatt i Rondane, was chosen in 1995 as Norway's "National painting"

Bio

The Lockmoores had about as normal a life as you could have - from the outside anyway. They put on the perfect family facade so well no ever qestioned when they materialized in a new neighborhood or when they left it. Behind closed doors however the patriarch of the familial unti was a black arms dealer working for both the US grovernment and some of their underground partners. "It's a living," he would reply whenever asked about it from those in the know.

And it was. A very good living, but it didn't come without its costs. Neither of the children were ever to really form bonds with friends until adulthood when they were no longer being carted around the world for 'dad's work'. And their family outside of the four of them was nonexistent. Their father had long before cut ties with his and their mother had been an only child whose parents had already passed by the time she met Frank.

Oscar was first, then Emily five years later. The two of them becamse thick as thieves from day one. Oscar is extremely protective of his sister - sometimes to the point of secluding her from the world. He means well, but it can be a little much for Emily at times. Shortly after her birth, Millie was diagnosed with cancer and survived another year before perishing to the disease. Frank did his best to keep things the way they'd always been, but Millie was a big part of keeping the children fed, clean, and happy when he was gone.

For awhile it was just Oscar and Emily at home, but it wasn't long until her big brother was expected to join in on the family business. Her father died a few years later during a deal gone bad, leaving Oscar and Em on their own. It was at that point that Oscar joined the military and the two of them began their own nomadic lives. Emily had always moved near wherever Oscar was stationed. The two now reside in D.C.
