   Summary

   Follow Askeladd in his years before encountering Thors and Thorfinn, some of the years before he met Bjorn even. Journey with him as he meets Ulfstonn, a man who's facial beauty leaves many thinking they are a woman at first glance. The two will venture together, taking treasures and forming a bond.

   (This story can be read as a AskeladdxReader fic. The character goes by a nickname with their birth name never given. Their only physical descriptors are being very tall and extremely attractive. They have a backstory, but I have left most of their physical traits vague or completely nonexistent.)
