Marvel drabble: "Visiting With Vikings" (feat. Cap & Thor & Sif)

[eliyes]

Title: Visiting With Vikings
Fandom: Marvel (Avengers? Captain America and Thor, at least)
Summary: Sif meets Thor's friend Steve.
A/N: Applying stuff about Viking culture to Marvel's Asgardians produces plotbunnies. Thanks to kiffie for the beta read!


"Verily, husband, it hath been long since thou hast brought such trophies to mine door."

"Mistaketh not, mine love -- this man is not war-treasure, but battle-brother. He hast stood bravely by mine side 'gainst enemies most fearsome, and I wouldst fain offer him the hospitality of Asgard."

Sif uncrossed her arms. "Maketh known to me thine courageous friend, and I will welcome him."

"Certainly! This man hight Steven Rogers, widely known in Midgard as Captain America. Friend Steve, this is the Lady Sif, mine wife."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, ma'am. I apologize for descending on your household with no forewarning."

"'Tis no imposition. Enter and be welcome."

Later, when Steve asked, Thor explained, "Mine wife misapprehendest thou to be an ornament for my bed. I have long since ceased slave-taking, however."

Steve was not really sure what to make of that.

I like Sharon but the most recent thing I read with her (http://eliyes.livejournal.com/504603.html)... :( I need a refresher. eta: wait, wait, that was Peggy.

Ohhh, man, the "I love him and I love his justice-fuelled fightans, but sometimes, just sometimes, I want to strangle him a bit..." anecdotes they could share... X3
