Odin

(Some Say the World Will) End in Fire by Gloria Mundi

The adaptable Gloria Mundi turns her attention to the Norse legends. I'm not sure the result will be for everyone, but I felt it fit well into canon and was surprisingly hot

A Game of Shapes by Bagheera

'It was a very good changeling, in all outward aspects exactly like Baldr. ...But Frigg, who’d never had to lose an eye to see far, took one look at it and knew the changeling for what it was.' This tale of Loki & Thor's quest to recover Baldur cleverly weaves together many different legends into a seamless & original whole

Just a Trick of the Light by Barrowjane

'...the other is -- ordinary. Except he's not. He's too big for the seat, for the table, for the room.' A spare take on the modern-day gods, with a wonderfully creepy atmosphere

The Tale of Hljod the Giant's Daughter by Zdenka

'"If the Norns have decreed it," Hljod replied, "then no one can prevent it; but I do not think that any man will take me to wife against my will. King Rerir’s son will surely be a great warrior -- so the raven-god has told me."' An original take on the Volsung saga that weaves so deftly into the source it's hard to tell where the seams lie

[Added 08/08/2015; Drama; 2500-6000; Norse mythology; Characters: Hljod, Odin, Hrimnir, Hrimnir's wife, Volsung, Rerir's wife, Signy, Seggeir]

Trickster's Game by Alchemine

'If you've slain one three-headed fire-breathing monster, you've slain them all.' Beautifully characterised & hilarious

[Added 30/12/2005; Humour; 2500-6000; Norse mythology; Characters: Loki, Odin, Thor, Freyr, OCs]
