Summary
A book detailing the history of the early Germanic people, beginning from the time the Gods created Midgard and the other realms, until the fall of the Northern Empire in 105 BC. To write this book I used a combination of historical documents and retrocognition, which is (in my opinion, and others who believe in such abilities) the ability to see into the past via dreams or visions during meditations. Using these two methods I have written a book I've dreamt of writing for a long time, recording history as I personally believe it happened. I understand such things as retrocognition may sound far fetched to many, if not most people, so I offer this book both as a history for those open minded enough to consider it as such (even if at the end they disagree with my conclusions) and to those who can't as (I hope) a good/fun read nonetheless.

Summary
Born the only child of Canute Gormsson, King Gorm's eldest son, Sweyn was, by all rights, heir to the throne of Denmark upon the death of his uncle Harald, who became next in line upon Canute's untimely demise.
But, when he is forced to defend himself against an attack and later charged with murder, his life takes a course he never could have foreseen, sending him down a path which would, in time, see him lead the largest Viking invasion of England in 1013. -

Baldr's Dreams by Persephone_Kore for khilari

Summary
Prompt: "Baldr finds himself flipping between two realities; one in which he is the god of light beloved by all and one in which he is a demigod warlord. In one Hod is his blind brother, in the other his mortal enemy (in both senses). In one Nanna is his devoted wife, in the other he's obsessively in love with her but she chooses Hod.
In other words he's flipping between the Eddic version of his story and the Gesta Danorum.
But which is real, and can he sort out what's going on before he winds up dead in both?
Bonus: Baldr's two personalities start to bleed together and do solve some of the problems in both realities. For instance his calmness as god of light helps his warlord self not make himself sick obsessing over Nanna; his warlord self overcomes his god of light passivity and isn't willing to stand around having things thrown at him just because he's invulnerable."
