Some day, this will be a "Last.fm/NetFlix/Amazon for web fiction" (both original and fanfiction) where you can search across many different hosting sites or rate what you've read and get recommendations. However, life keeps throwing more urgent projects my way, so I don't know when it'll be ready.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/307914/1/The archaeologist sighed. "Mardoll was one of the Vanir, not the Aesir. According to the legends, she's originally from Alfheim, not Asgard."
Wide-eyed comprehension swept Carter's face. "You're saying she can be Norse and Goa'uld?"
Was that what Danny was saying? Oh, this so didn't sound good.
"If she's Mardoll, yes. Which I've been wondering about, ever since we ran into Thor; not that I think he would've answered me if I'd asked, it can't reflect too well on the Asgaard if I'm right-"
Hunh? Where did that come from? "Mardoll, Dr. Jackson," Jack said pointedly.
"Right." Daniel held up a finger, stumbling over a fallen log. "Originally, the Norse had two sets of gods."
Silence.
"Oh, this promises to be good," Jack muttered. "Let me guess. Our little gray guys are the - assir?"
"Aesir," Daniel corrected absently. "Yes. Thor, Odin, that bunch. But there are older gods. The lords of the alfar, the elf-folk. People who lived a very long time, who could shapechange, especially into birds, who could heal all but the most fatal of wounds... stop me when this sounds familiar."
Teal'c lifted an eyebrow. "Indeed." Gold gleamed in the starlight as the dark brow furrowed. "Is the name Vanadis in your legends, Daniel Jackson?"
"Vanir goddess." Daniel nodded. "It's another of Freyja's names. Or any of the Vanir women, actually. Mardoll, Gersemi, Hoern, Syr...."
"Names I have heard." The Jaffa inclined his head. "The Vanadis avoid the System Lords, O'Neill. Their forces are strong, yet legends say they claim no planet. Though Apophis spent many Jaffa in the attempt, he has never found their home systems."
