A/N: I am soooo sorry it’s taken me this long! Here we have a transitional chapter into the Ragnarok chapters :D
“Hey, Thor.”
“(Y/N),” the god greets you in the grand corridor as you approach the throne room. “How are you faring with... everything?”
It has only been a couple days since you had returned to Asgard with Lorelei and Thor had saved the world from Malekith, but this is your first time seeing Thor since you had parted.
“What? With the love of my life dying before my eyes? Yeah, I’ve been better...”
You feel like a horrible person having to lie to Thor. But it’s for Loki’s well being! you tell yourself.
“I understand,” he says, placing a hand on your shoulder. “Just know I will be here for you.”
“Thank you, Thor, you don’t know how much that-”
“-Although, not in the literal sense, as I will not be here.”
“Oh!” You arch an eyebrow. “Where are you going, then?”
“As I have just explained to my father, I will be journeying throughout the Nine Realms to bring peace upon them. However, what I did not tell him is that while I am away, I will also conduct my own sort of scavenger hunt, if you will.”
“That sounds… fun?” you offer, not entirely sure what he means by that. “How long will you be gone for?”
“Hard to say. Could be many months. Years, even.”
“Then, I guess this is goodbye?”
“I suppose it is.” Thor goes in for a handshake, but you pull him in for a hug instead.
“Come here, you big lug!” He chuckles wholeheartedly at that. “Good luck, Thor.”
“Thank you, (Y/N). But what will you do? Would you like me to accompany you home to Midgard?”
“No! I mean, no thank you,” you say hurriedly. “Asgard feels more like my home now.” Thor appears proud at your statement.
“Well, please keep our home safe while I’m away.”
“Will do.”
Your future brother-in-law (though he has no idea of this fact) nods to you before walking off in the other direction. You turn and head to the throne room doors, smiling at the guards who open them at your advancement. After all, the “All-Father” has granted you the highest ranking in the palace. Next to him, that is…
The moment the doors close, you scurry excitedly up to the All-Father’s throne, where a man who bears the appearance of Odin relaxes all too comfortably in his golden seat, lying horizontally with his legs over one of the armrests. An Asgardian woman feeds the King by dangling a bunch of grapes above his mouth. The old man has a goofy satisfied grin on his face.
He’s going to ruin everything he’s worked for if he keeps up like this.
“Beat it,” you tell the woman, practically snatching the grapes from her hand. The face of Odin blinks up at you, now with a Cheshire Cat smile. Once you hear the woman has audibly exited the room, the man you stare down at transforms himself back into your love.
“Why, hello my darling. Have you come to feed me, instead?”
“You wish,” you scoff, trying to hold back a smile of your own.
“I do, in fact.” Loki sucks a grape from the bunch you hold in your hand.
“You need to be more careful, you know,” you warn him, “Everyone is going to think something’s up.” Your mischievous husband-to-be sits up and gazes at you with a twinkle in his eye.
“Yes, you do have a point, my dear,” he agrees, “But oh, this is so much fun.”
“I know it is, Loki. Just don’t do anything completely insane and questionable, please?”
“Like what, might I ask?”
“I don’t know… Like have minstrels write songs about you or order a giant statue made of gold in your likeness or write a play about yourself-”
“-I like the sound of that one…”
“Hello? Are you not hearing me?”
“I hear you and your voice is like music to my ears.” Charming bastard. You can’t help but full-on smile now. “I am a lucky man to have you looking out for my best interests.” Loki pulls you into his lap and your arms cling around his neck.
“And don’t you forget it.”
You kiss his lips. Then again. And again. Then with some tongue… You pull away for a moment and press your hand to his chest.
“So, um, where are you keeping him?” you ask. Truthfully, the question had been pestering you for a while now.
“You cannot seriously be thinking about my adoptive father while kissing me?” You shake your head and laugh a little. “Are you certain you want to know?” he asks. “You can still plead plausible deniability if anything unfortunate were to occur.”
“No, Loki. You’re my fiancé and we are in this together one hundred percent. Come what may.”
“Then come with your King,” he says, “I will show you.”
Donning the All-Father’s illusion once more, you walk side by side with Loki through the palace until you both come upon the end of the corridor, where stands a door that looks as if it hasn’t been open for thousands of years. Loki checks around shiftily to make sure no peering eyes happen to be watching you both before unlocking the door with a wave of his hand. It gives off an eerie creak as it opens, revealing a very delirious, elderly figure sitting up against a wall in the dim light.
“What’s he saying?” you wonder, noticing Odin’s incomprehensible mutters.
“I have given up trying to decipher it, myself. Nonsense, surely,” he waves it off.
“What will we do with him?”
“For one thing, he cannot stay in Asgard much longer for fear of someone stumbling upon him. But I have not yet found a suitable relocation…”
“I might know a place,” you suggest.
“Really?” He sounds surprised at your quick thinking. “Where?”
“It’s an old folks’ home in New York. ‘Fit for a King’ is their slogan, though their name says otherwise.”
Loki turns to you, intrigued to hear more.
“Shady Acres Care Home.”
“Ehehehe, oh my dear, you are wonderfully bad.” Loki twirls you in place which makes you giggle. He then closes the door, leaving Odin alone to his bewitched daze in the dark. Loki tilts your chin up and kisses your lips sweetly, then says, “What do you say to a little-”
But his thought is interrupted by the sound of womanly snickers heading your way. Loki is quick to transform himself at the disturbance, his eagle form now flapping its wings to sit on the corridor’s open-window ledge.
“You’re still here?” Lorelei says to you, rounding the corner. “I would have assumed you’d gone back to wherever it is you came from.”
Lady, I gave up my safety to free you from that damn Elf. You better watch yourself.
“Uh, yeah? I’m not going anywhere, believe me,” you say rebelliously. The sisters draw nearer to you, which makes you nervous at how close they’re getting to potentially finding Odin behind this door.
Amora sneers. “You don’t belong here. Even more so now that Loki’s dead. He only kept you around as a plaything, didn’t you know?”
The eagle caws angrily from the ledge.
“I’d watch how you speak to me right now.”
“Why? You’re out of your element, sweet pea. Even the All-Father hates you!” Amora continues to taunt you. “My sister and I are going to run this place, so you best know yours.”
“Oh really?” You shift into a defiant stance and meet eyes with the bird. “Because I have this funny feeling that if Odin were to hear about this, he would have you banished from Asgard in a second.”
Amora and Lorelei laugh airily at that while the eagle flies away.
“You should have gone back to that wretched Midgard while you had the chance. Or do they not want you there either?”
You feel so incredibly powerful when you finally see the palace guards show up from behind these dastardly ladies. One of the men clears his throat.
“The All-Father demands the presence of the Enchantress sisters.” The women share an unsure glance.
“Have fun with that,” you say.
It feels good to be on top.
