What are the common themes in Ivar Vikings fan fiction?

Well, there's 'Ivar in the New Land'. This fan fiction takes Ivar on an adventure to a new, uncharted territory. It's full of action and his interactions with new characters are really interesting. He has to adapt to a different environment and culture, which makes for a great read.

Ivar the Boneless was a remarkable Viking. Legend has it that his name 'the Boneless' might have been due to a physical disability, perhaps not having fully formed legs. Despite this, he was a fearsome warrior. He played a significant role in the Viking expansion. His army brought destruction and also influenced the political and cultural landscape of the areas they invaded in England. For example, they sacked many monasteries which were important religious and economic centers at that time.

Another theme is cultural clash. The Vikings have their own set of values and traditions which are very different from those in Westeros. Fan fictions explore how these differences lead to misunderstandings, alliances and sometimes all - out wars. For example, the Vikings' view on honor in battle might be different from the chivalry code in 'Game of Thrones'. And when these two collide, it makes for very interesting reading. It can also lead to some characters learning from each other and evolving their own beliefs.

Ivar's leadership of the Great Heathen Army was a significant achievement. His army was able to conquer and sack many important Anglo - Saxon cities and monasteries. This not only brought wealth back to the Viking lands but also spread the influence of the Vikings. For instance, York in England became an important Viking stronghold under his leadership. His military campaigns also changed the power dynamics in England, making it easier for future Viking incursions and settlements.

Well, a major theme is adaptation. The kidnapped person has to adapt to the Viking way of life. This includes their diet, which was different from what we have today, and their clothing, which was made to suit their cold climate and active lifestyle. Another common theme is the idea of finding one's place. Is the character going to be a slave? A friend? Or maybe even fall in love with a Viking? There's also the theme of mystery. The Vikings might be curious about the kidnapped character's origin, and the character might be equally curious about the Vikings' secrets.

Love and relationships also pop up a lot. Sometimes it's a love story between the time - traveler and a Viking, which adds an interesting dynamic as they come from such different times and cultures. For example, in some stories, the time - traveler has to overcome the Viking's more traditional views on relationships to be with them.

One of the common themes is redemption. Characters may try to make up for their past mistakes. For example, a character who has done something bad in the original show might seek redemption in the fan fiction. Also, exploration is a theme. They might explore new parts of the world they are in. And power struggles are also common, as different characters or groups vie for control.

Romance is a very common theme. Fans often write about falling in love with a band member. Another theme is friendship, like becoming friends with the band. Adventure can also be a theme, for example, going on a wild tour with the band in a fictional story.

One common theme is the clash of cultures. Since The Last Kingdom focuses on Saxons and Vikings focuses on, well, Vikings, when they cross over, there's always a lot of exploration of how these different cultures interact. Another theme is the idea of loyalty. Characters from both shows have strong loyalties to their own groups, and in the crossovers, this loyalty is often tested.
