They've been there for millions of years, through storms and floods and wars and... time. Nobody really understands where the music comes from. It's probably something to do with the precise positions, the distance between both towers. Even the locals aren't sure. All anyone will ever tell you is that when wind stands fair and the night is perfect, when you least expect it, but always... when you need it the most... there is a song.
It's called marriage.

Writing Tone #2: Avoiding Manufactured Sincerity
There’s a scene in season 5 of My Hero Academia where two beloved teachers have been brought to some high security prison to interrogate a captured villain that turns out to be a brainwashed childhood friend of theirs. The scene is really dramatic, these two teachers are screaming at this guy, heartbroken, and when I saw the episode (shortly before quitting the entire show mid-episode over how bored I was) I was not at all as outraged and horrified as they were.
It was so tonally jarring, and so unfounded within the plot, that it was almost uncomfortable to watch. The villain they’re interrogating isn’t unfamiliar, but the plot-twist-surprise childhood friend is a stranger no one but these two care about.
I didn’t care, couldn’t empathize with why they were upset, knew nothing about their relationship with the guy beyond the ham-handed flashbacks given right that moment. I wasn’t prepared to mourn the loss of this random character, wasn’t primed ahead of time with the idea that this was a possibility to dread the scene before it happened. I was just waiting for it to be over and when it finally was, the impact it had on me was a resounding: Well that was weird. Now back to the plot.
Unfounded sincerity is the uncomfortably ugly step-sibling of plots that are starved of sincerity—look at most of Phase 4, but really, starting with Thor: Ragnarok in the MCU. Many Marvel properties are afraid to embrace the emotional moments and resort to bad jokes to laugh at themselves before the audience can laugh at them. Because how dare a late-stage superhero story about mythical gods be at all sincere in its relationships, its quiet moments, its tragedies. Nope, time for jokes.
Unfounded sincerity is when a story goes far harder with the drama, the love-declarations, the angst, the humor, where it’s trying really hard to convince the audience to care and it just isn’t working.
This happens when arguments start out of nowhere, as well, when characters explode at each other in a heated screaming match that hasn’t been left to fester for nearly long enough, undercooked and hard to swallow.
This happens when characters fall suddenly, madly in love with each other with zero dubious intervention to explain away the sudden passion.
It happens particularly when characters care a whole heck of a lot about someone the audience doesn’t, at the expense of characters the audience is invested in.
It happens when characters have emotional breakdowns and start crying over what ends up reading like spilled milk. When stoic and strong characters break over something they normally would never, for ~drama~.
This is usually both a tone and pacing issue, and a serious case of telling. The author hasn’t done any of the work ramping up a situation or relationship for proper delivery of these emotionally charged moments that are written like critical character beats we’re supposed to care deeply about.
So how does this happen?
1. The author *really* wants this scene, but writes it too early into the story
Unless there’s foul play involved, or this is a romantic comedy that isn’t supposed to be a realistic and healthy depiction of how romance works, characters suddenly declaring love for each other at the cost of their own well-being, their own character arc and journey, and their other motivations can be very frustrating to read.
But the author wants to get to the Good Stuff, so they coast on the “male + female leads = relationship” expectation without writing the why (and so ensures the rise of so many gay ships in the process). Or the male + male leads” or what have you.
2. The author cannot fluidly change tone and characters explode, instead of simmer
An argument that comes out of nowhere can really take your audience out of a scene. Your characters suddenly look ridiculous and your audience can’t follow what’s going on or why they’re so upset. This is different than a character exploding seemingly out of nowhere, but who we know has been building resentment for dozens of pages and loses it over something otherwise inconsequential.
These scenes are painfully, obviously there for manufactured drama and don’t feel natural. These characters don’t feel like people, but playthings, action figures manipulated by the hands of the author.
3. The characters involved are underdeveloped
As in the My Hero scene mentioned above, of the three characters in the scene, the “friend” we’re supposed to care about is a non-entity. The two teachers could have lost their minds over this guy’s sudden death, or the reveal that he turned traitor, or that he murdered younglings and puppies and kittens, to the same emotional impact, because we don’t care about this guy (or, I don’t, at least. I didn’t, and shouldn’t have to read the manga).
You can of course have characters who grieve non-entities, like the fridged wife trope. The difference is the audience knows we’re not supposed to know or care about that lady and the character she never was. This happens pre-plot, not mid-season 5. The frigid wife is the catalyst for the character we then come to know, not a character whose death radically changes our heroes from the people we’ve already established.
4. The tonal jump is just too extreme from the established rules of the story
Abrupt changes in tone can be very tricky to pull off, and almost always fail when it surrounds an abrupt shift in character dynamics (as opposed to something more plot-related). As in, your lighthearted comedy suddenly stops the plot so two characters can scream at each other, when this level of emotional charge hasn’t been established as a possibility.
Or the aforementioned emotional breakdown that just leaves audiences uncomfortable like the awkward friend trying to soothe a weeping companion.
Unfortunately, the fixes to these situations are either delete that entire scene, or go back and do a lot of rewriting so there’s enough build-up to justify its existence. Go back and write in that simmering resentment, all the little frustrations, a pre-existing tension within the relationship that is always primed to snap.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder and there’s a reason the “slowburn” is so popular. Setting out from the beginning to write a fast-paced, passionate romance tells your readers to expect exaggerated displays of emotion.
My favorite musical is Moulin Rouge. This movie is insane. Everyone is hyperbolically emotional and nothing is half-assed. The dances, the belting singing, the costumes, set-design, editing, the declarations of love– they’re all dialed up to 11. So characters screaming their love or rage from the rooftops is a *lot* but you’re prepared for it from the opening scene, knowing exactly what kind of movie this is.
Even if you don’t start your story with the level of drama it will eventually reach, there should still be some sort of progression when it comes to character drama.
Last Airbender didn’t open episode 2 with the emotional intensity of Zuko and Azula’s last Agni Kai… but it did show you that this isn’t just a lighthearted comedy in episode 3, with the reveal of Gyatso’s body and Aang’s violently emotional reaction.
Speaking of episode 3, they didn’t throw in Gyatso out of nowhere. We know from the show so far that a) Aang is the last of his kind, and b) he doesn’t know this. Everything leading up to this reveal is lighthearted, sure, but with that undercurrent of dread, waiting for Aang to see for himself, waiting for that other shoe to drop.
So some things to keep in mind are:
Prime the audience with dropping that first shoe, make them aware of the building tension (romantic, aggressive, grief, or otherwise), even if not all the characters are aware.
Build that tension. If your characters will eventually explode, let them be mildly irritated first, then annoyed, then frustrated, then angry, then raging until they can’t contain it anymore.
Make sure every party involved in this dramatic moment is someone the audience actually cares about, not just someone they’re told to care about.
TL;DR: Don’t pull the trigger prematurely. It’s most obvious with suddenly passionate arguments, characters flinging insults and hurts the audience isn’t prepared for and doesn’t know about, in effort to move the plot along before it’s fully cooked.
So unless there’s some drugs or fairy magic involved, or one of these characters has a gun to their head forcing them to do this right now, people don’t just explode in a rage without some buildup first. People can explode in a rage over a seemingly inconsequential and unrelated thing, but they’re likely already upset and this one little thing is the final straw. Audiences love the anticipation of what that final straw will be, and whether the explosive drama is rage or romance, “slowburn” is immensely popular for a reason.

I Missed You
Pairing - Loki x Female Reader
Warnings - Crying Loki, freaking Thanos dusting half the universe, grief (lmk if you want me to add anything)
Summary - The Avengers leave for a mission, leaving you and Loki alone in the compound to do whatever you want... but something unexpected happens.
Word Count - 850
A/N - This takes place at the end of Infinity War to near the end of Endgame, but Loki survived Thanos and his neck-crushing hands
Masterlist
Tumblr media
"I'm glad they didn't let you go on that mission," You say, stroking Loki's hair as he lies on your chest.
"Oh really?" He replies. "And why's that?"
"Because it means we can spend time together. I missed you when you went to Asgard with Thor,"
You feel him smile against your stomach. "I missed you too, my love. So much. When Thanos came for us, I honestly thought it was the end. I thought I'd never get to hold you ever again,"
You hum in sad acknowledgement. "I started to get worried after the first few weeks of no contact. I was so scared that something had happened and I wasn't there to save you..."
You feel his hand stroke your face lovingly. "Well, we're here together now. That's all that matters, darling,"
"I agree," You smile. "In fact, why don't we do something? We should make use of this alone time,"
Loki sits up just enough so he can see your face, then leans forwards and presses a kiss to your lips. "I'd like that,"
You both get up and stretch, planning what you could do together.
"We could do some baking," You suggest. "Or reading,"
"Hmm... we could make those little fairy cakes you like," Loki pulls you towards him, a grin playing on his lips.
"Yes! They're my fav-" Your sentence is cut off by an odd pull in your chest. The smile is wiped from your face.
Something isn't right.
"Are you okay, my love?" Loki asks, concern lacing his every word. "We don't have to do it,"
You look up into his worried green eyes, your breathing becoming short.
"S-something's happened," You say shakily, feeling your body weakening.
"What do you mean?" Loki's grip tightens on your arms.
Something black begins to swirl around you... ashes, perhaps?
"Wait... wait Y/n! No!" His panicked voice fades away; his body disappears. You stumble forwards at the lack of contact. 
The ashes that were once floating around seem to sink into your skin. You look around at the once beautiful room as it slowly transforms. The wallpaper starts to peel and discolour, the furniture overturns and breaks itself, the light in the room disappears as the curtains are drawn.
You freeze, looking around the room as your heart is gripped by fear.
"What the fuck..."
What just happened? Where did Loki go? You feel your strength returning, but that feeling of weakness is quickly replaced by terror.
"Y/n!?" You hear a shout and fast feet down the corridor outside. "Y/n!!"
"Loki!?" He bursts through the door and freezes as you run a stressed hand through your hair. "I don't know what the hell just ha-"
You stop speaking as you notice him walking towards you slowly; timidly; his eyes filling with tears.
"Are you alright?" You ask, your voice breaking slightly with worry.
His hands cup your face, caressing your cheeks so gently it's as if he's worried about breaking you.
"Are you really here?" His voice is a hoarse whisper.
"Yes...?" You whisper in return. "Why wouldn't I be?"
His bottom lip trembles as the welling tears finally spill and trickle down his face. To think you were speaking of making fairy cakes only a moment ago...
"Y/n... my love, it's been five years,"
Your brow furrows in confusion. "Five years? Since what?"
He lets out a shuddering breath. "We lost, Y/n. That mission the others were sent on? They lost. Thanos snapped. He killed half of the universe, in-including... you,"
Your heart fills with dread, Loki's teary eyes only making it worse. "But then... how am I here?"
A small, sad smile graces his face before it disappears only a moment later. "We got the stones back. Bruce snapped and... and... you're here,"
His arms wrap around you as he buries his face in the crook of your neck, sobs wracking through his body. He's holding you so tightly it hurts, but you don't care.
"I'm here, Loki..." You murmur, trying to reassure him as tears spring to your own eyes.
He pulls away after a few minutes, attempting to steady his breathing as he looks down at you.
"I missed your beauty," He whispers. You notice how tired he looks, how the spark in his eyes seems to have died. "I missed your laugh and your jokes. I missed your voice, the twinkle in your eye, the lines you get on your face when you smile," He gives you a small, wobbly smile; you're both on the verge of tears once more as he continues:
"I missed the happiness and love you brought me. I missed the way you fiddle with your hair or my hand when you're nervous, the way you snuggle into my chest when you're tired, the way you try anything and everything to make sure I'm comfortable and happy..." He takes a deep breath.
"I missed you, Y/n,"
You feel your heart break slightly upon hearing his words, a single tear slipping down your cheek. You move onto your tip toes, leaning up to kiss him in silent gratitude, his words meaning more to you than you could ever express.
But your lips never meet.
Instead you're met with the blinding light of the world exploding around you.

I'm not sure if you have ever done a song fic, but I was wondering if I could request one? There's a song called loveletting by V V that would be great for somewhat sad Loki fluff.
I listened to the song and I really, really tried to make this sad but I guess I'm just kinda ass at writing angst? Unless this counts. Either way, I hope you enjoy it!
Loveletting
Loki x Fem!Reader Fluff
W/C: 2113
Tumblr media
Warnings: Kinda sad, FLUFF!!, mutual pining, sad childhood??
Summary: After realizing how you truly feel about Loki, you have an upsetting realization and begin to distance yourself from him. But he seems ever so determined to find out why you seem so down.
*****
"Will that be all, Your Majesty?" Y/N said, keeping her head down in courtesy.
Loki's brows furrowed together at her tone. Her usually bright and cheery attitude had been evidently lacking over the past few days, and his heart hurt for her in ways he couldn't find the words for. He kept his hands clasped behind his back though as he leaned forward slightly and spoke in a lowered voice. "Miss Y/N, is something troubling you?"
The maid's face reddened at the question, and she quickly shook her head. "The Prince should not worry himself over a lowly maid such as myself," she responded, monotone as if reciting it from memory. Loki sighed.
"Very well then, you are dismissed," he replied somberly. 
He sauntered over to his studio room, full of daylight from the floor to ceiling windows despite it being as early as it was. He had planned on showing Y/N his most recent painting, but because of whatever was causing her saddened attitude, she had politely refused to spend any time with him in his chambers recently. His mind played memories of the two of them in there together, laughing and recounting stories from their very different childhoods. He had been growing quite fond of their time spent together.
In truth, he had been growing quite fond of Y/N in general.
But something had changed in her life that she wasn't telling him, and it was driving a rift in between them that was making him go mad with concern. He tried asking several times, but each time it was a variation of the same thing: "I'm a maid, and you're a Prince."
He hated that she was hurting and it felt like he could do nothing to ease her pain. As Loki sat in his stool in front of the near-finished painting, an idea sprung in his mind. If Y/N didn't talk to him still after this, he didn't know if she ever would.
***
Y/N made her way through the palace corridors and towards the kitchens hesitantly. She was hoping that because of the time, Loki had simply joined others in the dining hall at suppertime and would not call for her again. There was nothing she dreaded more than him asking once again what was troubling her. Because she couldn't tell him.
She couldn't tell him that she was in love with him.
She had realized it a few days prior, particularly when they had been sat on the floor of his studio, mixing paints. It was her favorite part of spending time with him, because it was the first thing he ever taught her to do that she would never have learned without him. Her status never allowed her the free time to do something as frivolous as painting, but being Loki's personal chambermaid had allowed her the leisure time to learn even more so than that. 
That day in particular, Loki was recounting something more saddening from his childhood. He spoke of his ignorant father and attention-seeking brother always casting shadows over everything he did. That despite his intellect and wit, he felt useless because all his father cared about was physical strength and charm - both things Thor had always possessed and Loki had lacked. He had everything in his life decided for him, and he never got to leave the palace, and all for what? So he could sit and watch his brother be king?
Y/N had paused crushing a particularly light blue rock into powder to look at Loki's hunched frame as he continued to stir a green pigment into the egg white. It felt like she was seeing him for the first time that day. The real him. Not the Prince or the younger brother or the 'failure' of a son. But Loki.
Loki loved painting and the color green and winter. He loved long strolls through the gardens and desserts and tea. He wanted to travel and learn more difficult magic and marry and have kids. He had dreams.
She had reached out and placed her hand atop his, to which he had paused his stirring to bring his blue eyes to her soft gaze. Y/N's heart fluttered at the pure longing she saw in his eyes - longing to be wanted, longing to be cared for, longing to be loved. Suddenly, she felt all his sadness at once. He had always been alone. Much like Y/N had been, since being sent here to the palace to work. Seeing his longing brought her own loneliness to the forefront of her mind, and her eyes had darted down to Loki's lips before quickly locking back with his eyes. 
He smiled at her and she returned it, before resuming her work at turning the blue rock into pigment. She had felt light and airy for the remainder of the day, until she left his chambers later on for her nighttime routine. Reality had crashed through her.
Although he made her feel special when she was in his personal chambers, sitting in his studio, and enjoying his company, she was a servant of the royal family. She was supposed to wash his linens and scrub his toilets and be grateful enough to eat off of the very floor he walked upon. He could never court her because she was nothing and he was a Prince. They could never be together. 
So Y/N began to distance herself from the prince, starting with only staying in his chambers long enough to perform her mandatory duties and nothing more. He had asked almost immediately why she was down, his brows furrowed in the cute way they do when he's confused. She almost broke her resolution to distance from him immediately just so she could ease his concern, but she didn't. And he seemed to feel particularly dejected, which only made her feel guilty.
The next few days only grew harder as she continued to deny Loki. She began to resent going up to his chambers, as it only made her feel worse each time. He hadn't stopped trying to decipher the reason behind her sorrow yet, so as she turned the corner and entered the kitchens to collect his dinner, she hoped it would be a quick visit.
Y/N waved to one of the kitchen staff, who pointed in the direction to a rather large platter of various foods. There was far too much food for Loki to eat alone, and she wondered if maybe he had a guest with him. She carried the platter up several flights of stairs and down several corridors until she finally made it to his doors, and she knocked gently.
Loki opened the door almost immediately, as if he was waiting for her. He greeted her (which only made Y/N's heart flutter, much to her annoyance), and stepped aside for her to bring the food to his sitting area. After she set the platter down on the coffee table, she looked around to see if someone else would be joining him, but nobody else was in his rooms. As if reading her mind, Loki spoke.
"Before you go about denying my request, hear me out. Please," he pleaded, holding his hands out in front of him as if in surrender. Y/N sighed, but allowed him to continue. "I had more than enough food made so you can join me for dinner. I understand you must be spending less time with me for a reason, and I want to know it. I hate to do this, but if you refuse me, I will order you to sit and eat with me."
Y/N scoffed. He knew she couldn't deny an order, and he was using that against her. If anything, this only sealed her proof that they couldn't be together. She couldn't exactly order him to do anything and have it turn out positive.
So she sat down in the loveseat with the Prince and waited for him to ask. He stared at her with curiosity in his eyes and then smiled. "Eat something, my sweet. I promise it's not poisoned," he joked. But she didn't find it funny.
"With all due respect, Your Highness, I request that you please stop calling me that," she said, looking away from him as she did so. Loki gave a crestfallen look and his shoulders fell slightly. 
"Oh, I-I apologize. I hadn't known that made you uncomfortable." He reached towards the platter of food and plucked a grape from its vine. Y/N decided to grab a small slice of bread, just to keep the Prince from uttering another instance of her eating something. Loki chewed slowly, watching her again with curiosity before getting right to it.
"Y/N," he spoke softly, reaching out to grab her hand. She flinched away from his touch, so he sighed. "Please, tell me why you're pulling away from me. I thought we were getting along quite well, and I do not understand what I did wrong."
The girl felt her heartstrings being pulled. She hadn't meant for him to feel as if he had done something wrong. She only wanted to spare herself the pain of rejection. But in doing so, she had completely disregarded the possibility that maybe he had felt some sense of care for her.
"W-Wha- Loki, no! Nothing is your fault," she stuttered, forgetting all formalities and reaching forward to grab his hand. "I just- I can't- UGH!" she continued, frustration growing at the situation. Why did this have to be so hard?
Loki met her gaze gently. "If it's not my doing, then what am I missing?"
Y/N sighed, realizing that she can't lie any longer. She looked down at her hands that she placed in her lap and spoke barely above a whisper. "Loki... I realized something and it's breaking my heart... Y-You're a Prince, and I, a maid. I've grown so fond over you in these past months, but I can't ever be with you..." 
Loki looked dumbstruck for a moment. Was she professing her love for him? Or was he just that naive? "Whatever are you talking about, Y/N?"
She looked up and met his blue eyes once more. "I-I'm in love with you, Loki... But it doesn't matter, because you can't ever court me. I'm not allowed to be close with you, and we've already broken enough rules by doing things like this," she said, gesturing to the platter of food. Loki took her hands in his suddenly and scooted closer to her.
"Y/N," he said softly. "I reciprocate your feelings. I-I'm... in love with you as well. But what you speak of is nonsense. My father has never cared who I spend my time with, knowing that I will not be King. I would only court you publicly if that is what you wished. But it is not a requirement."
Y/N's heart swelled at Loki's words. "R-Really?" she asked, which only made Loki smile and chuckle. Without another thought, she leapt forward and encased Loki in a tight hug, tears pricking the corners of her eyes. "Oh Loki, these past few days have been so miserable without you," she said, holding back a sob. He hugged her back, stroking her hair and shushing her.
"My sweet," he whispered. "Please promise me something, will you?"
Y/N sat up from his arms and nodded eagerly. "Anything."
He reached up and wiped a tear away with his thumb, caressing her cheek in the process. "Promise me you'll tell me from now on anytime something is wrong. You worried me a great deal these past few days, and I wish I had known you felt this way earlier, that way I could have stopped trying so hard to impress you." He chuckled and she joined him, feeling relief and love for the first time in the past few days. She couldn't take it any longer and she reached over and planted a quick kiss to his lips, very much to his surprise.
When she pulled away, Loki looked absolutely smitten. He quickly grabbed her and pulled her back in for a longer, slow kiss that felt like every single ounce of love he had in him was being poured into. It left Y/N breathless, but she didn't care.
They were two lonely hearts, beating as one, in sync for the first time.

Life Lessons
Pairing: Loki x reader
Warnings: innuendos, flirting, mild swearing, groping.
Summary: with your last year of college coming to an end, determined to be the first in your family to graduate, you prepare for finals, when your English teacher throws a wrench in your plans.
*college au, Loki is captain of the soccer team and Thor is captain of the football team (of course 😁)
Part one-
Tumblr media
You made your way down the halls to your last class of the day, English literature. It was the one class you dreaded. You loved the class, your teacher Mr. Banner was by far your favorite, it was your classmates, well one in particular who seemed to enjoy making your life miserable.
You bolted in, sitting at your desk as you pulled out your laptop, preparing to take notes "Well well, there you are, i haven't seen you in the stands during practice, I thought you may have been avoiding me." He said, propping himself on your desk. "Loki, could you get your ass off my desk please?" You asked, looking up at him, his green eyes bright as ever "I thought you liked my ass, you seemed to when I see you at practice." He smirked making you roll your eyes.
"Maybe I just like soccer, the world doesn't revolve around you and your ego." You said looking back to you laptop. "Ouch, that hurts darling." He said grabbing his chest. You did your best to ignore him, you admittedly had had a crush on him for awhile, who wouldn't, with his long black hair, and chiseled features he could have any girl in school he wanted, and he usually did.
"My laufeyson, take your seat." You heard Mr. Banner as Loki jumped up practically running to his seat. "Morning class, I know you are all prepared for finals, hopefully." He smiled as the class laughed "but, I'm going to change things up a bit. I'm going to pair you off into teams. And I want you to do an analysis of any of Shakespeare's works. You will create a presentation on its significance to modern times, and the importance of the writing, you will have three weeks to complete it and then you will present it to the class." He said pulling out a piece of paper. "As I call your names, find your partner and start discussing which work you would like to do." He said.
You waited anxiously, looking around you would love to be paired with Steve, be was always studious. Or wanda, you knew she always recieved top marks. "And finally Ms y/l/n, you'll be paired with Mr laufeyson. Find your partners and get started." He said sitting behind his desk as you looked at Loki, leaned back in his chair smirking at you. "Shit." You muttered, going up to Mr. Banners desk.
"I'm sorry sir, but is there any way I can get another partner?" You asked as he looked up at you. "And what's wrong with Mr. Laufeyson? You two seem to get along fine." He said, looking back seeing Loki watching you "Sir, Loki is an egotistical jerk, and I would rather work alone then with him, please I'll do anything." You pleaded "y/n, you need to learn to work with people who you may not get along with, it's part of life. I suggest you suck it up and try to get along with him, this project is a large part of your grade." He said "yeah, I know." You sighed, heading back to your desk as Loki gestured to the desk next to him with a smile. "This is going to be a long three weeks." You sighed, grabbing your things.
"So, what were you thinking about doing?" You asked him sitting down. "Well, there's lots of things I was thinking about doing." He purred wiggling his eyebrows "do you have to be a pig all the time?" You asked as he laughed "why don't you harass your girlfriend." You huffed opening your laptop "I don't have one." He said looking at you "Well that's surprising." You said pulling up a reading list of Shakespeare's works. "I have several. I'm a bit.....insatiable." He smirked "eeww, could you not." you said glaring at him. "Can we just get this over with please?" You sighed as he smiled.
You spent the rest of class deciding to do Romeo and juliet, slightly cliche, but popular nonetheless. As the bell sounded you grabbed your things and quickly left class without looking back. "Y/n...y/n wait!" Loki yelled making you stop. "What Loki, I want to go home." You said crossing your arms. "D..did you want to come by practice? We can go over the assignment after?" He asked slipping on his jacket "no I don't think so, I'm just gonna.." you started "Looooki, baby there you are." You heard a girl yell behind him as she ran towards you both.
"Hey Stacy, what are you up to?" He asked as she leaned up, pressing her lips to his as you looked away. "I came to find you, I wanted to walk you to practice." She said, running her hands up his chest. "Whose this?" She asked looking at you "this is y/n, she's in my English class, we were paired up on a project." He said looking at you. "And i was just leaving so.." you said as she ignored you "come on loki, let's go." He said grabbing his arm dragging him off.
You shook your head as you turned to leave, missing the glance he gave you as he was pulled away. This was better you thought, you were not about to be another knotch in his bed post. You made it to your car, throwing your bag in you climbed in. You looked up seeing the soccer field, your eyes immediately finding him. His hair pulled back into a bun, his uniform showing of his muscular frame.
You sat staring as he jogged around the field, until that girl, Stacy, ran towards him jumping up as he caught her kissing her. "Uugh...." you sighed, starting your car as there was a knock on the window making you scream. "Thor, what the actual hell!" You yelled rolling your window down. "Sorry y/n, I was just wondering if I could catch a ride, my brother had practice so he needs the car." He said smiling. "You don't have practice." You asked. "Nope, no football today, coach wants us to "take a day" Whatever that means." He air quoted making you laugh. "Sure, jump in." You said smiling.
You dropped Thor off, making your way home, if you call the closet of an apartment home. You plopped on the couch, scrolling through your phone as you opened Instagram. You followed Thor so occasionally pics of Loki would pop up if he was tagged, this time it was him and that Stacy girl, it looked like she had taken a selfie in the car as his face was hidden in her neck and her hand was on her breast as she sat on his lap. Scrolling down, seeing the caption "this girl gettin lucky tonight" with a winky face, and she apparently tagged eveyone be knew.
You rolled your eyes and tossed your phone aside before making your way to bed, preparing for the longest three weeks of your life...
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
If I missed tagging anyone let me know please!!

Crossed Swords [Avenger! Loki x Fem.Reader]
Part of the Hostile F*cks Collection A Link to my Masterlist is HERE Summary: (9) You overhear something unwelcome. Mischief ensues. Warnings: 18+ Minors DNI. Smuttish. "Friends" w/ benefits. Graphic descriptions of Loki in fencing pants. Language. Mild violence. (w/c 4.2k)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You didn’t know what had possessed you to knock on Loki’s door. It had been over a week since Scotland, and visions of that night had consumed your mind like a virus. It was all you could think about, and you needed to see him. Alone. You squeezed the clan pin from his tartan sash that had somehow ended up in your possession into a fist as the other rapped the wood three times. The sharp edges stung into the soft base of your palm as you heard footsteps approaching. I’m here to return it before the tactics meeting. I’m here to return it, that’s all. It’s not weird. It’s normal, totally nor- “Don’t.” Loki’s deep voice had suddenly commanded through the wood. “Come back to the bed.”
The footsteps paused before retreating. Your stomach clenched, chest tightening while dread rolled up your body like a wave. Without thinking, you pressed your ear to the door. Loki moaned. A low, guttural sound you’d only heard when he was nine inches deep. You frowned, blood thumping in your chest. This was not an unexpected scenario, but hearing it first-hand smarted like vinegar. You took a step back and frowned at the sealed door, rage bubbling in your belly. He’s so fucking full of it, you thought furiously; instantly chastising yourself for being annoyed at all. Jealous. You’re fucking jealous...you fucking idiot. You squeezed the brooch a final time before throwing it harshly at the door. Shit. It hit the centre with a loud thud. Shitshit, Why did I do that?! Swearing under your breath you made a hasty retreat down the corridor, a plan forming as you made your way back to your room. There was just enough time before the tactics meeting. And you had a tactic of your own to deploy.
Tumblr media
“Righto guys n’ gals, time for a few home truths.” Steve clapped his hands together, resting them under his chin as he stood at the head of the table. He’s the only one more annoying than Loki, you thought; letting your eyes flicker from your notepad to the pristine god sitting directly across the table. Loki found your covert gaze, immediately shooting you an almost imperceptible wink. Nope, still Loki; you decided, returning his presumptive gesture with a roll of your eyes. Thor sat beside him, the blonde’s hoodie making him look even bulkier beside his lean, perfectly toned brother radiating arrogance in his stupid tight t-shirt. Thor was staring again. You saw his chin dip lower, the swirling blue of his eyes darkening as he gave you that look. His lustful glare had become all too common around the Tower since the red dress incident. And it told you that you tactics were about to play out perfectly.
Fingers pushed a strand of hair behind your ear, being careful to keep looking at the Captain as you tilted your body towards the head of the table. The fingers brushed down your neck, stopping to lightly massage the dent of your collarbone before falling and undoing one innocent button just above your heart. “All this technology is nice and dandy, but if an enemy intercepts our comms; we’re jimmied. Kaplunkered, folks…unless you have the inbuilt qualities, of course.” Steve said. Your fingertips brushed back to your shoulder, digging deeper into the bare flesh and letting your dark chiffon blouse slip down. The fingers caught on a twinge. You frowned, closing your eyes with lips parted in a calculated silent sigh of pleasure. “...so we need to make more of an effort to ensure our bop em’, sock em’ techniques are up to scratch. The ol' S&M. Swords and muscles, folks.” The feeling of Loki’s gaze lingering on you touching yourself was palpable. His analysing stare sifting over your body was something you had become as accustomed to recognising as the waft of burnt toast. You let a smile twitch the edges of your mouth, opening your eyes to concentrate on Steve once again. “Later this afternoon we’ll run a group session, and we can make sure we’re all where we need to be.” You gave your shoulder a final squeeze, letting an expression that was entirely too sexual flash across your features. A low whimper erupted from Thor’s direction. “Asgardians?” Steve huffed in exasperation, making you turn to face the accused with innocent interest. “This applies to you, too.” Thor snapped to attention, babbling incoherently as his cheeks flushed. Loki’s eyes narrowed towards you, before he too looked toward Rogers with a nod. Cool as a New York winter morning. “I concur that the team skillset is somewhat lacking in the close combat department, Rogers. Particularly where blades are concerned.” he said with an air of haughtiness only he could muster. “I would be happy to whip them, into shape.” Whip. The word was onomatopoeic on his tongue. A soft beginning climaxing in a sharp crack which lingered on his lips. His hands lay clasped in front of him on the table, the long lines of his torso perfectly straight through impeccable posture. Those dark waves were tied back in a loose bun, strands hanging against his carved cheekbones. “Excellent.” Steve clapped his hands together again. “Everyone in the training hall in one hour under 'Master of Blades' Laufeyson, then.” he quipped.
I wonder if he had it loose while he was fucking her, you thought; an intrusive mental image making you fight the urge to squirm in your seat. Memories of his wild locks trailing your body filled your mind, how you’d always tug it roughly as he took his pleasure like an animal in heat. Did she do the same? You imagined Loki padding naked and sated across his rooms, casually scraping his luxurious hair still sex-damp up into the messy bun while manifesting the simple black t-shirt and chinos he was wearing. His rooms, you thought with a twinge. He’s never taken me to his rooms. Wetness slid between your thighs as you shuffled, feeling your jaw clench. Loki smirked, as Steve’s voice prattled in the background. You imagined how you would do things differently if he had his hair tied up like that while you fucked him. How your mouth would suck and bruise all along the uninterrupted landscape of pure masculine eroticism he called a jawline. From his chin to his earlobe. God, you wanted to fucking bite him. Hard. Like the bruise he had become accustomed to leaving on the curve of your shoulder. A gift. A remembrance. His mark. You suddenly wondered if anyone else around this table wore that mark.
There were mumbles of disapproval at the idea of Loki as a teacher while seats scraped back on the floor. You lifted your bag onto the surface, nudging a pen which rolled to the middle of the table. “Oops.” you muttered coyly, sliding the bag purposefully to the side. You leant forward, lowering your chest and giving both brothers a view down the neckline of your blouse. Thor’s jaw slackened, seeing the lacey lingerie cupping your breasts. “See you in an hour, boys.” you murmured innocently, beginning to slide the pen towards you. Thor’s glazed stare travelled from your cleavage to your face and back to your chest. The lace was a bright, rich red. Loki’s gaze rose from the salacious view down your top to your eyes. The icy set of his features made your nipples harden. A low growl rumbled in the blonde’s throat as you straightened, not looking back as you casually exited the room with a smirk. “Don’t even think about it, brother.” Loki snarled under his breath, feeling Thor’s biceps vibrate against his shoulder with covert mirth. “Oh brother…” the blonde growled, watching the curve of your ass as you disappeared out of sight. “I fear it is far too late for that.”
Tumblr media
The Tower weapons training facility was on the thirty-second floor, but it may as well have been in the basement. There was no natural light, just overhead runners that made it feel like you could be anywhere.
You and Nat pushed the swing doors open in sync, letting them fly wide as the waiting group turned expectantly. You’d changed. A black sports bra underneath a loose racer-back top with high-waisted leggings completing the uniform. You smiled to yourself at the knowledge that the matching lace underpants to the red bra were safely concealed. Ready to be deployed if needed. When needed. “Nice of you to join us at last.” Loki sneered, projecting his voice as he ran his gaze appraisingly over you both. “Don’t get your panties in a bunch, Laufeyson” Nat shrugged, stretching her bicep over her chest. “Not everyone walks around in baggy sweatpants all damn day.” She threw Scott a knowing look. His eyes widened at the unexpected barb, pulling out the sides of his sweatpants with a pout before looking to Sam for support. Sam shook his head silently. Loki ignored her, striding forward from the head of the hall towards the group. “A 'Master of Blades." Loki announced theatrically as the mutters grew silent. "While the Captain may have noted this in childish jest, I can assure you it is no mere flippantry. Across these nine realms, my skills with steel are legendary...and it is your privilege to learn from me today.” “Is your boyfriend on his period or something?” Nat whispered, making you cover your mouth to suppress a laugh. “He’s not my boyfriend. God forbid.” you hissed, regaining your composure. “He gets off of this sort of stuff. Lording it over people. He’s a dick.” “Sometimes all they need to be is a dick.” Nat said solemnly, making you press a finger to your mouth to stifle another giggle. She smirked, pressing her lips together. Loki threw you both a scowl. You had been trying not to look at him, knowing that as soon as you did the familiar fizz between your legs would rise; but it was too late. His hair was still in that goddam messy bun, strands falling in thin curls around his jawline. The overhead lighting accentuated every shadow cast by his cheekbones, that fair skin utterly luminous. He wore a tight charcoal gym top that suddenly reminded you of the wetsuit. That fucking wetsuit, you thought; clenching at the memory of it peeling down his chiselled abs. The spandex clung to every curve of his muscles, his biceps perfectly encased beneath the fabric. Only his forearms were visible, the sight of thick veins running beneath his pale skin making saliva well under your tongue. Pristine white straps ran down his chest from over his shoulders, part of a high waisted swordfighting ensemble tight around his midriff. The material ran straight down his hips, snug to the crotch by design. They fell just above the knee, a pair of tight black socks tucked beneath the hem. Perfectly fitted, naturally. How does he look so fucking good in everything, you thought wistfully; watching the flex of his thigh muscles through the white cotton as he stalked towards you. The straps hugged his chest, bound tight. The mental image of riding them down his bare shoulders while you mounted him filled your mind; feeling his cock straining up between your thighs. The material creased at his hips, accentuating the bulge of his obscene manhood with every stride. He stopped, his face inches from yours. “Thank you for returning my relic.” he stated formally, hands clasped behind his back.
You grimaced, regretting letting your irritation boil over with your earlier theatrics. “That’s fine. Shall we?” Loki frowned at your brevity, searching your face before taking his place in the centre of the semi-circle. In a flash of green, a steel blade appeared in his grip. Dulled, of course. He twirled the twenty-four inches of metal fluidly, enjoying the reluctantly impressed faces of the team gathered. Scott ooo’ed. Sam elbowed him in the ribs. Loki held the sword in front of his face, hands clasped around the hilt; splitting the symmetrical perfection in two. Only one side was smiling. “My first wisdom about the sword” he enunciated regally, “is that it’s power comes from the force of your core.” He looked at you as he said it, sending chills shuddering through the base of your leggings. “The blade is an extension of your body. You direct it. Master it. You do not follow it.” He began to pace, swinging the sword theatrically. Each slice made a cutting whir through the air. “Every strike, every thrust, every stab should be calculated. Each offensive move or defensive counter-strike a graceful, fluid motion. Your impulses must be tamed, so that you are always in control. Dominating, like one would handle a submissive lover.” “God, even his tutorials are sexualised.” you whispered bitterly to Nat. She offered a weak eye-roll. “What was that, Agent?” Loki snapped, his stoic demeanour holding as he rested the blade against his shoulder. You sighed, feeling your adrenaline rise at his confrontation. God, you thought. Imagine him wearing those fucking fencing pants shirtless- “I said, even your tutorials are sexualised. Is that really necessary?” Loki let out a low chuckle, weaving the handle of the blade expertly as he stalked closer. “It is not a question of what is necessary” he hummed, running one long digit along the blade horizontal to his midriff. His eyes followed the finger, until it rested on the dulled tip. “At their basest level, all realms share two passions which are impossible to extinguish. Violence, and...sex.” His long lashes fluttered upwards, making your breath hitch.
“Mastering the art of the blade is inextricable with mastering the art of sex, Agent. One cannot be achieved without the other. At least, not in a manner which will cause any significant lasting impression.” Nat snorted beside you. “And you’ve mastered these arts have you?” you sneered, folding your arms. “You know I have, Agent.” he purred darkly, making your cheeks heat as every gaze fell on you. “But since you seem resistant to my methods of tutelage, let’s have a demonstration shall we?”
You shrugged, ignoring the churning of your stomach and extending your hand in expectation. Loki nodded towards the wall, where twelve immaculately positioned short-swords had appeared resting vertically. You pursed your lips, placidly making your way over and picking one up. You swivelled the blade in your grip, feeling the weight. A pin drop would have echoed. The onlookers stepped back as Loki stalked towards you like a panther on the hunt. A fencing mask appeared in his hand, swinging casually before he threw it to you. You grunted, tossing it to the side before raising your sword. Pretentious Asshole. The straps over his shoulders strained with every calculated, heavy breath; the ropes of thick muscle shifting as he perfected his stance. Suddenly, Loki lunged. A clang of steel resounded around the hall as your blade met his, blocking in a high X that spliced his sharpened features in two. He pushed forwards, making you stumble as you desperately tried to hold your ground. His chin was lowered, smouldering eyes burning into yours as the muscle of his forearm bulged in thick lines. “Defend yourself.” he growled, scraping his blade upwards and pivoting it with a flick of his wrist, immediately going for an underhand strike. You retreated, countering again; steel singing as metal slid to his hilt. “Fuck you, Loki.” you hissed, bringing your free hand up in a fist. He flinched, raising a palm to catch it. You kneed him in the ribs. A low rumble of mirth rippled across the semi-circle around you both. Loki barely reacted. Barely. But it was just enough. You leveraged the weight change, pushing his sword upward and ducking under his arm. The dull tip of your blade met his jugular as you pushed his bicep down with all the force you could muster, edging on the pressure-point of that taut neck you knew he loved sucked. Bet he got it sucked this morning, you thought venomously; panting as a reluctant grin stretched across Loki’s lips. You know he could kill you with one hand if he chose. With his obscenely large thumb, even. For now, it was a hollow victory to be sure. But you would take it. “You found my weak spot, it seems.” he murmured quietly, a knowing smile tugging at his dimples; eyebrows slanted in mock-surrender. “You’re easily distracted.” you panted, pushing away his bicep with a rough shove. There was a ripple of tentative applause as Loki straightened and you made your way back to your spot. Nat nodded approvingly.
“As demonstrated by our colleague here, the force of the blade is not always in its length, sharpness or girth. It is the manner in which it is wielded. With the innate, fierce hostility toward any who would overpower you.” Loki’s chin tilted as he spoke, analysing the effect of his words on those watching. On you. “She was not willing to let me overpower her.” he continued thoughtfully, fingering the edge of the blade. “If I was a mere man, I’d say she may even have succeeded.” “Hey- she did succeed, asshole.” Nat interjected, offering a nudge of solidarity. Loki chuckled. “Keep telling yourself that, Romanoff. A Master of Blades is not easily defeated by such a…” Loki's eyes ran down to your trainers and back to meet your narrowed eyes, tilting his head. “Let’s continue. Pairs. And I shall observe your efforts.” Your nostrils flared, a deep growl simmering in your chest. You were vaguely aware of a tall shadow beginning to loom over you. “My Lady, may I-” “Yes.” you snapped, still glaring at Loki as he slid his sword gracefully into a leather back-holster he had manifested out of thin air. You turned towards Thor, forcing a smile. “It would be my pleasure.” The blonde god’s eyes followed the movement of your lips, before licking his own. “Wonderful.” he rumbled after a pause. As you watched him join the others retrieving blades from the wall, your fingers found their way to the waistband of your leggings, folding them over.
Your eyes flickered back to Loki, swinging his blade fluidly in a series of joined twists and strikes that made your traitorous sex scream with wet, hot need. The next hour was blessedly uneventful; a series of test formations observed by Master Laufeyson as he circled the group like a shark. The relentless clang of metal rang in your ears as Loki’s deep voice reverberated, his sultry commands making it increasingly difficult to concentrate. “Inward cut to downward block, Lang. Upper cut to Alpha. Go harder.” Loki bellowed, the gravitas making a shudder roll down your spine. “Impress me.” he announced sanctimoniously, flicking the curling waves around his face back with a flourish. The dark god left your vision as you side-stepped, waiting for your chance to strike his elder brother. You absent-mindedly twisted the bottom of your baggy t-shirt, balling it at your back and tucking it into the folded leggings. A flash of red lace was visible. Inevitably, your gaze was drawn back to Loki. Standing there with his sword tucked in that ludicrously erotic back-holster. Straps. He’s all straps today; you thought, biting your lip.
That spandex top tucked into the fencing pants did nothing to hide the carved abdomen beneath it; the outline of his cock visible with every measured pace as he observed the team with haughty disdain. The leather of the back-holster was completely out of place and yet...perfectly natural. Loki's triangular shoulders flexed as he paced in a wide circle, condescension at their efforts simmering beneath half-lidded eyes. How you yearned to hook your fingers beneath those leather straps as he fucked you senseless, pulling him tighter. Deeper. Hearing him hiss as the tight skin cut underneath his armpits- “Shit.” you gasped, raising your hand just in time to block an attack from your blonde opponent. Thor snarled, walking you backwards. His wandering eyes travelled down your body, widening as he noticed the flash of red lace rising over your hip like blood in the water. His blade pushed closer to your face, pressing your forearm to your chest. The chill of the steel radiated against your skin as it hovered close to your cheek. “Tonight.” Thor murmured. “Your invitation. I accept.” “My...invitation?” you gasped, as his sword lowered to your throat; your own forced past the point of no return. Thor growled approvingly. “Never fear, I know of your unfortunate liaisons with my brother. It is not the first time a woman has sought the comfort of my mighty cock after being unfulfilled in his bed.” “My-? I..ohgod.” Your sword clattered to the ground as Thor’s hand slid firmly around your waist, pulling your hips towards his. The dulled blade slid down your neck, resting on the curve of your cleavage. You curled your hand in a fist, ready to punch him right in the eye. Suddenly Thor's blade was flicked away from your bosom, cast upwards from his meaty grip like a toothpick by another, larger length of metal. It hit the floor and bounced, rattling. “Brother.” Loki snarled, his sword raised to Thor’s throat; eyes flashing with warning. Gone was the short, more wieldy weapon; and in it’s place a longsword fit for battle. The dark god let his hardened gaze fall on you. “I credited you with more finesse, Agent.” he sneered. “Clearly I was mistaken.” Thor released you, making sure his hand slid lightly over your ass as he did so. You grimaced. “If Ordinances of the Colours do not apply in this realm, brother...then neither does the Covenant of the First Seed.” he said pompously. Loki snorted, tilted his chin to the ceiling with a mirthless chuckle before lowering it once again with renewed malice in his eyes. “Since when did you respect the Covenant of the First Seed, brother?” he spat. “In this realm or in any other.” Thor shrugged. “I see not how it is my fault that you could not satisfy your lovers, Loki.” With a flash of green, another mighty longsword appeared in Loki’s free hand. He flipped the handle effortlessly towards Thor, the implication clear. You suddenly realised that neither were dull blades. Nordic runes were engraved along the shafts, thick grooves running through the centre to ornate golden handles which gleamed garishly under the overhead lights. “Wait I-” you panted, before a hand wrapped around your forearm pulling you backwards. “We can’t do anything, just stay out the way.” Nat muttered, confusion etched across her brow. “Is this about you?” she added quietly, her voice tinged with pride as she watched the scene unfold. The brothers circled each other like feral wolves as the team shrank back warily against the wall. “I don’t know anymore.” you whispered, wondering what the hell you’d just done.
Both lunged at the same time, meeting in a clash of bared teeth and snarls and heavy steel. Thor pressed the blade towards Loki, bending him backwards before your lover kicked his brother’s feet from under him. The blonde hit the ground with a harsh thud, immediately rising to the sound of Loki’s menacing laughter echoing around the high ceiling. It was relentless. A series of nimble twists and strikes from the dark god outmanoeuvring his brother’s lumbering frame as metal struck and vibrated in the air. Strands of Loki’s hair flew wildly, sticking to his forehead as he wielded the weaponry like the master he was. The abject fury on his face had given way to something softer. Mischief, you thought; watching every pop of his thick forearms as he struck repeatedly into Thor’s feeble defence. His elongated thighs lunged with expert precision, the curves of his obscenely toned calves visible through the tight socks with every calculated thrust. Thor was clearly more accustomed to using his fists, the blade forming no more than a rustic barrier to his brother’s rage. Loki dodged his clumsy attempts with ease as the blonde left a trail of destruction through the gym. A chorus of shock rippled among the onlookers with every crunch as Thor’s sword met the wall while Loki spun away - his growls of frustration growing louder. You counted seven holes. Wait...make that eight. Thor lumbered towards his brother, hair swinging as his jaw clenched. Loki smirked, pacing quickly towards him with sword raised before dodging at the last moment and spinning behind. He pinned the edge of the sharp blade to his brother’s neck; a free arm fast around his chest as he rubbed the flat against a pulsating vein. Thor bellowed, his reddened face writhing as he struggled. “Yield.” Loki announced loudly, his voice frighteningly calm. “I will not.” Thor roared, twisting as Loki whispered something in his ear. You watched silently, eyes frantically scanning them as Thor’s brow furrowed in anguish. “Damn you, brother!” he shouted, as Loki released him with a final snarl of victory. Your eyes ran covetously over Loki’s thighs in those tight pants as he swaggered backwards; suddenly realising you had been holding your breath. “What the heck…” Steve’s whine pierced the air. “What is this?” The group turned sheepishly towards him, as Loki moved the sword in a casual, flourishing figure of eight. He raised his arm, sliding the Asgardian steel into the leather holster like a fucking tease. “My brother and I crossed swords, that is all.” he purred innocently, casting a glance towards his heavily breathing sibling still bubbling with silent fury. “Oh is that right?” Steve huffed, putting his hands on his hips as he strutted forwards, observing the piles of plaster littering the gym from Thor’s clumsy combat techniques. “Well you can clear up all this goshdarned mess.” he snipped, poking Loki in the chest. The god smirked, running a hand innocently through his hair. “And don’t think about using magic to tidy the blade depository, Laufeyson. Last time it was an absolute tarnation of a scene in there. Sheaths and daggers and morning-glories all over the heckin’ shop. All out of order from the wallchart, I may add.. which is clearly displayed, thank-you-very-much.”
You bit your lip, stifling a giggle. The thought of Loki arranging the blade depositary by hand was laughable. “Agent, you watch him.” Steve said, waving a hand towards you as he began to strut towards the door. “Make sure he behaves. I know I can count on you.” You stood open mouthed as the team began to assemble a pile of swords on the floor in front of you, mumbling their condolences. You sighed as Loki’s hard bicep brushed against your own. You didn't need to look at him to know that shit-eating grin would be stretched across his infuriatingly handsome face. The scent of heavy leather and tang of his fresh sweat radiating the heat between you made you feel light-headed. “You heard the man, Agent.” he murmured, that velveteen voice sinking into the gusset of your surely ruined panties. “The question is...do you think you have what it takes to make me behave?” There was a heavy pause.
“Inquiring minds wish to know...” he keened, his mirth palpable. “Shut up.” you snapped, as Loki chuckled. “Little does Rogers know that it is you, Agent, who needs to be brought to heel.” he purred, tucking his thumbs under the straps of the fencing pants and running them purposefully downward. He leant to the side when they met the base of the high waistband. His warm breath fanned your cheek; moist lips grazing your earlobe. “And Agent…” he hummed. “I know just where to start.”

Loki's Little Secret (Part 2 of 3)
Part 1 here / Part 3 here
Pairing: Loki x female reader
Warnings: protective Loki (he might sound kinda like an ass but trust me), hidden relationship, angst cause I couldn't help myself, self doubt, thoughts of being inadequate, fluff (I promise... still coming)
Summary: You and Loki have been dating for three months and you've kept your relationship a secret from everyone... until now
Based on this Ask:
Tumblr media
A/N: So I know it took a lot longer to put out this second part than I initially promised but I broke up with my boyfriend of several years about two days after I posted the first part and it was a bit hard to focus on this one. Before everyone starts to feel sorry for me, I know it was the right thing to do and although it sucked I'm in a better place right now because of it... now let's back to Loki and his happy ending 💚💚💚
Dividers by @harlequin-hangout
Tumblr media
(LOKI POV - 5 days after Loki left)
You groan in annoyance as you flip back to the previous page of your book. You've read this chapter twice now and the preceeding chapter three times but you find yourself completely unable to focus. The words jumble together as your mind continually drifts from the open pages to your most recent memories of Y/N and unfortunately, they are far from pleasant.
You could still hear the pain in her voice, see the tears in her eyes, feel her pulling away from you when she told you she never wanted to be your secret. As soon as she fled the common room you knew you had made a horrible mistake and as each day passed you doubted you would ever be able to make amends for how you treated her. You pinch your nose and squeeze your eyes shut tightly, trying to force the memories away.
The sound of the door unlocking distracts you and thankfully sends the thoughts scattering away, for the moment at least. Thor stomps the snow off his boots then closes the door of the hotel room as he greets you. He puts his heavy coat over the back of one of the two chairs at the dining table and sits down. You place your book on the nightstand between the two small beds and stand up, the mattress squeaking noisily as you move.
"I brought dinner," he says, trying to sound cheerful as he starts to pull food out of a large paper bag.
"Thank you," you respond although you still have no appetite. It was easy enough to blame your lack of sleeping and eating on the mission, but now that it was behind you, you knew your brother would want answers.
You take the seat opposite him and ask, "What did they say about my request?"
He unwraps his burger, with a light shrug and says, "Once the file transfer was completed, Hill said we could stay here until we were needed again." He looks up at you then back down at his food and says, "Don't worry, brother, I didn't give a reason as to why we are not going back yet."
You nod and sigh in relief but then Thor adds, "You do know, they are not as dense as you pretend they are."
You don't respond so he continues, "Steve says Y/N hasn't been herself since..." he gestures vaguely with one hand, "whatever happened in the common room. He told me she looks unwell, as if she is hardly sleeping and she won't speak to anyone. She never enters the commons areas and vanishes as soon as her work is complete for the day."
You avoid his gaze, feeling the weight of how much you had hurt Y/N.
The two of you sit in silence for a few moments but then your brother finally asks you the question you have been dreading since you impulsively volunteered to join him. "What happened Loki?"
You pick at your burger, trying to pretend you are interested in it but know you can't avoid this conversation any longer. You fold the wrapper again and push your food away from you. Looking down you begin to fidget with your fingers under the table anxiously.
"Y/N and I have been..." you pause and correct yourself, "... we were together for the past three months." You close your eyes briefly, feeling a pain rise in your chest when you adjust your relationship from present to past tense.
"You've hidden this for three months?" Thor asks in shock. "I just assumed that was the first time the two of you were together or at least that this was fairly new."
You clear your throat before answering, feeling ashamed at how you acted, "That was the first time Y/N had stayed at the Tower, but no one was supposed to see us. You were all away at that silly team building event and we accidently fell asleep while watching a movie. The email from Rogers said you wouldn't be back until noon and Y/N would have gone home well before then."
"Everyone was tired of being in the woods so we came back early," Thor explained as briefly as possible then he motioned for you to continue, "You said it was her first time staying at the Tower..."
You sigh and pick at your palm, "For most of our relationship, if I wasn't on a mission, I would spend my nights at Y/N's apartment but I always left her before she woke up. I wanted to make sure no one ever saw me entering or leaving her apartment so they wouldn't know we were together."
"So wait... you would sneak out of her bed and just leave?" he asks, you can hear the judgment in your brother's voice, whether it was intentional or not. "I don't understand. Did you even care for her or was she just a bit of fun to keep you from being bored?"
"Don't you ever assume that I don't care for Y/N!" you stand up, putting your hands on the table in tightly balled fists. Thor looks up at you in silence as you sit slowly. You take a deep breath and to calm yourself, "I love her, Thor, more than I ever thought possible. I know it's only been a few months but, she means everything to me and now I might have lost her completely."
"Because you are an idiot," your brother says as if to finish your thought and you can't do anything but nod in agreement.
"Then why would you do this? Keeping your relationship quiet is one thing but you don't even act like you are friends with her," he says.
"I just... I wanted to keep her safe," you tell him, running your fingers through your hair as you lean back in your chair. "We are constantly facing new threats and I didn't know how else to ensure she would never be connected to me."
"What would make you think-" Thor starts to ask but stops himself. "You spoke to Peter?" he asks but it sounds more like a statement then a question.
You shake your head slowly, "No... but I overhead you, Barton and Parker talking right after the boy first joined the team."
"You heard us..." Thor says with a slight nod of understanding.
You continue, "It was a few weeks before I met Y/N but I couldn't forget how worried Parker was. He was so concerned with his aunt and girlfriend's safety he almost declined Stark's offer to be a part of the Avengers."
Thor looks down and sighs, "We told him maintaining his secret identity was the best way to guarantee his loved ones were safe. Distancing Spider-Man from Peter Parker would be a crucial step in making sure our enemies would never think to hurt MJ or his aunt. But... Clint also told him that if he ever felt they were truly in danger, they could be hidden somewhere secure like his family."
"You and I don't have secret identities," you pause briefly, "So I thought she needed to be the secret part of my life."
"I don't- why didn't you at least tell Y/N that?" Thor asks and you sit forward, resting your elbows on the table and putting your face in your hands.
Tumblr media
(LOKI POV - 7 days after Loki left)
"Wake up," you feel someone nudge your shoulder lightly but mumble for them to leave you alone and roll over on the narrow bed. "I said 'wake up' brother," Thor says louder as he quickly pulls the sheets away, your try to grasp for them but miss. He tosses your sheets in a pile on the carpeted floor at the foot of the bed and walks away triumphantly.
You sit up and groan angrily, "What was that for?"
"It's half past noon," he responds in an annoyed tone. "You can not spend another day just hiding under the covers."
He picks up his bag and sets it on the dining table and begins to rummage around in it. You don't bother replying to him, instead you wave your hand and a light green glow surrounds the discarded sheets, setting them back on the bed. Pulling them up dramatically around yourself, you roll onto your side and attempt to ignore your brother.
He huffs loudly and you can feel him walking towards you so you tighten your grip on the sheets preemptively. "Enough of this Loki," he says but you hold your end of the sheets for a moment. "We're going back," he says in a stern voice as he pulls the sheets away from you a second time, your grip loosening as soon as the words hit you.
"Wait- what-" you start to ask in surprise as you get up from the bed quickly.
He picks your bag up from the floor by the door and tosses it to you. You catch it against your chest as he says, "We're going back and you are going to talk to Y/N."
________________________________________
(LOKI POV - later that night)
"We'll be landing in about fifteen minutes," the SHIELD pilot announces from the front of the jet.
You sigh and close your eyes as you lean forward to rest your head in your hands. You desperately wanted to talk to Y/N but you were still unsure if she would want to hear what you had to say.
You feel your brother's hand grip shoulder shoulder tightly as he tries to reassure you. "Try not to worry brother," he urges and you look up at him.
"I'm sure once you tell Y/N everything we talked about and apologize for keeping the truth from her and for treating her so horribly in front of the whole team and for ignoring her all those times you were working together she will absolutely forgive you... in time, of course I mean. She might not want to talk yet though, seeing as how she is still avoiding everyone and she did tell you never to speak to her again." He pauses for a moment and adds, "Maybe it would be better for you to wait until tomorrow to talk to her, it will be close to midnight when we arrive."
"Thank you Thor," you mumble in response.
"That's what big brothers are for," he says with a hopeful smile and you simply nod.
You finally settle on what you want to do just as the jet touches down on the landing pad behind the Tower. You decided that you would go to your room for the night and try to force yourself to sleep. Then, in the morning you would go to Y/N's apartment with her favorite flowers, coffee and the pastries she loved from the Cafe around the corner. Hopefully she would be willing to listen to you but if not, at least you could show her you still care.
Your reach your door and grip the knob tightly but you can't turn it, you stand motionless while your thoughts begin to swirl. Before you have time to change your mind again, you push the button for the ground floor as the elevator doors close.
Tumblr media
(Y/N POV)
You yawn again and check your phone, it's a little after midnight so you decide it's time to at least attempt to fall asleep. You turn off the TV and just as you are about to turn out the light you hear a series of soft knocks on your front door. Your heart jumps in your chest as you get up quickly and head towards the door, you recognize that rhythm immediately.
"Loki?" you ask hopefully. You're unable to contain the smile that starts to spread when you see him standing in your hallway but it fades quickly when you see how worried and tired he looks.
He nods slightly in response and immediately looks down at his hands, rubbing them together nervously. "Y/N, I-" he starts to say but his voice falters. "I'm sorry, it's late... I shouldn't have come," he tells you, shaking his head without ever making eye contact with you.
He turns to walk away and you take a step outside of your apartment. "I'm glad you're home," you tell him truthfully.
He stops mid-step and sighs heavily, "The Tower never felt like home." He turns slowly to look at you, "Home was here, with you but I've ruined that."
Before you can reply he says, "I know you told me to act as if you don't exist but I can't. I can't pretend you aren't the most important person in my life, the only person I have ever been able to truly be myself around. I swear I never meant to hurt you Y/N, it was the last thing I ever wanted and I would do anything to take back the pain I caused you."
He looks down as he talks and you take a few steps towards him, you cup his cheek lightly when he finishes, hoping he will look at you. He lifts his head and looks into your eyes, "I just wanted to keep you safe, to protect you."
"What do you mean?" you ask but he doesn't answer, he tries to look away from you but you keep your hand on his cheek and guide him back to you.
"Can we speak inside, please?" he asks quietly and you agree, taking a step back so he can walk into your apartment first.
You close the door behind you and when you look back he is sitting anxiously on your couch. You sit, leaving an empty space between the two of you which feels unnatural. He looks hurt when you don't sit closer to him but he doesn't move instead, he begins to rub his hands slowly again.
"Loki," you say in a soft tone, putting your hand over his which stops his nervous motion. He looks up at you and you say, "Please talk to me. I'm sorry I didn't listen to you before but I want to understand what happened."

Loki knows he's done it, he knows there's no coming back from it deep down… but as the God of mischief he wouldnt take that answer there was a way that he would succeed in his task as he chased after you down the stairwell into the library that was once his that you now shared calling out your name
“Leave me alone Loki!” The echo of your hurt voice now bouncing off the wall of your ‘shared’ library you should've known, you should've known better to trust the Deity dressed in emerald green and God did it hurt your chest filled with dread it was heavy and once again you would continue to stress it, it hurt.
“Darling just listen-”
“NO! Great grief Loki i trusted you, after every instinct told me not to i did anyway, i am a fool” You started off strong until your voice reduced into nothing but a mutter and the raven haired prince attempted to take your hands in his resisting when you tried to pull away from him and the firm yet non injuring hold on your wrist and it stung him like nothing he’d never experience
“Why is it ALWAYS HIM!? Hmm? Why him love? The god screamed before bringing his voice down to a mumble as you struggled in his hold attempting to get away as far as humanly possible
“Brother! Let her go” The carried thunder and Loki glared at the blonde before going approach him with a malicious looking intent on his your body burned with a passion as you approached the brothers with thundering steps the currents of the winds becoming harsh on the outside
“Stop!” Your voice carries through castle and probably through the kingdom as well both of them looking like a kicked puppy at the stern, scolding, and coldness of your voice the life of the world slipping from your grasp it all hurt,
“Loki, it's not always Thor. You, you self sabotage because you think people will hurt you or abandon you… but you hurt the kingdom and you hurt me… Loki I thought the world of you” The prince heart broke in two at the sound of your voice that was full of emotion yet void of life and it stung his chest at the sound of his real name falling from your lips
“And Thor you don't have a balance in your life you choose every battle over what you claim as my my importance but I feel as nothing but a servant… This, this wont work it never has'” The brother stepped to you in protest that made you subconsciously take another back, away from the both of them
“That's not true little dove, we have succeeded we will continue to succeed” Thor denied reassuring himself more than he was reassuring you his icy blue eyed desperate for you to agree, begging for you to stay
“We love you darling” Loki stated firmly as if it was set written in stone for the next millenia to understand and study
“I want to believe you, but I don't.” That was it the hold of the earth was lost you hadn't had a grip on it any longer you felt the flowers wilting, the tree slouching, the soil becoming infertile as well as the women, you'd lost it lost your hold on humanity
Lost your hold on everything

Loki x FReader
Tumblr media
Set after the events of Thor: Ragnarok and begins with Infinity War when the spaceship containing Thor and the other Asgardians were spared from the supposed attack of Thanos. Meaning, Loki is alive. But the threat still looms.
(Also, let's just pretend Hela didn't destroy Mjollnir :DD)
Spoilers for Loki season 2!
Warning/s: Just some cursing
WC: 3.3k
Tumblr media
When you realized that your existence is in great trouble, you do your best to find a way to get back to where you were previously encapsulated as a time criminal. After all, they're the reason why you're fucked. But, seems like you'll be needing the Avengers' help first. And Loki's.
Tumblr media
"What the fuck."
Was all Tony Stark could managed to say after being abruptly interrupted by a terrifyingly distorted figure appearing right in front of him, evidently disrupting the banter he was having with the so-called God of Mischief, Loki. The other avengers surrounding the two men were no different, frozen on their spot as they gather round in the sophisticated compound, loss for words at the woman who happens to appear uninvited.
You stood there breathless.
Without any second thoughts, they made their move directing a fighting stance at you, as if expecting a sudden attack. Just what you'd expect from the Earth's mightiest heroes.
Minus Loki.
Though, not without a hint of confusion delighting their faces.
After you had successful regain your balance, although still dreading the feeling of being ripped apart through time, you slowly flayed your hands up in defeat. Panting, you surveyed around.
You were in the Avengers' compound.
"What...in the hell was that?" the one who seemed to have said that was actually the only one hesitant to attack you, knuckles upfront him with an obvious unsureness as his eyes warily scanned you. Gaping, he continued. "Did I...Did I hallucinate that or...? Oh, god, am I going mad?"
"I don't believe that is the case here, Banner." boomed Thor, holding out Mjollnir threateningly. Eyes stern at your panting form.
Alright, how fortunate to see a very familiar face.
"I hope so. Or else, I might as well decide that being on a whole different planet for a whole year and being part of a godly family crisis has already altered my mind in many different ways."
"Bruce, calm down." a bearded blonde man with a shield said. Steve Rogers. You recall. "Just be thankful that isn't the case here because it certainly isn't."
You wish you could snort at the exchange but you have other matters to focus on at the moment. Though, you held Banner's terrified gaze with a wary of your own as you think for a moment who Banner is but you brush it aside.
You can't afford to dilly-dally with such questions and just preferably, avoid starting a needless fight.
With Stark now a few steps back from you, hands enclosed in his iron red gauntlet with the center of his palm alight, he eyed you suspiciously. He pointed at you, threatening to blast you on your spot. Not even sliding the chance to put out a snarky comment. "I don't know about that Cap. I think we've all gone mad."
"Shut it, Tony." the blondied woman in a black armored and leather suit remarked, eyeing the freaked out Banner. "Now's not the time."
He only gave her a stern look before returning it back to you, although not without muttering something under his breath. You can almost make out the mocking smile he had before seriously staring you down.
That's also when you perfectly noticed the raven haired God at your other side. Just like Stark, he was a few steps away. Your hands were still in the air as you didn't waste a second to slowly shift your eyes to the God who you we're just with a few hours ago.
Technically, it isn't him and also, you're not even certain if that was a few hours ago. TVA has victoriously displaced your sense of time and you have no choice but to set that aside for now.
First and foremost, let's not die in the hands of these worldly — and otherworldly — renowned superhuman Midgardian people.
"That was no sorcery." was all Loki could utter, blaring a suspicious glare at you. At this point, you can say that everyone here is glaring daggers at you with so much suspicion after just witnessing you appear uncannily right in front of their eyes. Loki's trusty daggers points at you with such intensity that you can't help but freeze on your spot entirely. You garner that moving further might just cause him to pounce on you and successfully cut your throat out.
Such a Loki trait. You consciously note. At the same time, it pricks a sense of oddness to you.
"For once, I can agree with you." this time, it was the man in a red cape. His hands projecting a some sort of fiery circular engravings — Or markings, it seems — that you were not familiar with. Although, it did felt familiar. "Who are you and why have you come here?"
Finally asking the right questions, everyone else anticipated your response.
"I'd really thought you'd ask how I did get here but, fine." your attempt at settling everything down with a little humor earned nothing. You only strained a smile. "You can put your guard down now. I doubt I can even inflict damage to any of you when I am outnumbered, don't you think?" You say with a nervous shrug.
"Wait.." Thor started. "You are an Asgardian."
Ah.
"Wait, what now?" a conflicted Banner turned to him with a frown. "Where did that come from?"
"Her clothing." it was Loki. Tilting his head, he slightly squinted at you. You can already feel their movements break from their stance but nonetheless, was still on guard. "But I wouldn't want to jump to conclusions if I were you, brother. A lie or two is easy to miss." he says that in a lowered and slick tone, eyes prying deep in your existence.
"Good preach, God of Lies, but why don't you myth brothers figure something out if she'll massacre us or join the party. Is that good or is that impossible?" Stark commands.
"That's-" Thor tries to say.
"I can do that." Oh no.
Without hesitation, Loki readies to attack you with a knowing smirk. You want to say that you expected that but in terms of fighting physically between you and him, he always precedes. Except when it comes to sorcery.
Yet, his daggers haven't spelt your doom when suddenly, you fell.
You fell and landed in a bright room enclosed with the very bright color of white. Norns, help me. At this point, I'm not even surprised if Midgardian structures could be capable of blinding me. Humans and their taste in design.
Before you could jump to assumptions whether you time-slipped again, you heard the sound of sizzling above you as you turn to look only to see a yellow ring close.
Oh. You thought. Of course. How can I forget that doctor wizard and his parlor tricks? I can do better than that.
But before you could prove it to no one in particular by trying to dematerialize a wall for your way out, which you expected to be unbreakable because, well, this is the Avengers' territory — you felt the familiar twist of your body as you closed your eyes, getting ready for what's to come. You're time-slipping. Again.
When you opened your eyes, you don't know if you should be relieved or not because you were still in the same spot.
I am seriously starting to despise this more than anything. You say in your mind, cranking your head in pain.
As if the universe has heard your impulsive thoughts for wanting to pride yourself as the better sorcerer, one episode of time-slipping has managed to avert your thoughts to a different one. There's really no point in trying to escape when you'll be thrown off eventually to a different timeline thus, relieving you off of this situation. At least you hope you'll have that kind of luck, considering that you're here imprisoned and untrusted by heroes. For the meantime, you painfully have a lot of questions.
The fact that you are time-slipping outside of TVA is making you feel wary and disoriented.
Not just that, because you're not being tossed around through time in one place like before in TVA, but because you're being tossed around in different branches of time. You can't help but overthink, a blooming panic erupts in you. If what you heard from Ouroboros was true, about the possibility of being lost to time, then maybe you can consider that that's what's occurring to you. Adding to that, how can Loki and the others track you when there's a number of branches exceeding spontaneously and you're amongst one of them — inconsistently appearing through one branch after another.
To hell with this time-slipping phenomenon.
Such thoughts have managed to waver your poised will. You don't want this. After everything that's happened, you're now overwhelmed by incomparable fear, enough to cover the pang of grief that you successfully tried to keep a hold off during the dangers you have encountered. And that causes you to resume the fear of losing something again. If before you've lost the right to exist in your own timeline, then now seems like you're losing more than you could think of.
A chance. The chance to only exist without the burden of being a criminal to time.
The Loki you met ensured you that. And you're scared to lose the hope you unconsciously held so close that he had given you.
You're scared that you're bound to be stuck in time, alone and nowhere to belong to.
You're just a displaced speck of entity in the vast timelines of universes, an error meant to be rid of.
Is this truly the ending that you deserve?
Just lost to time. For eternity.
After everything that you've been through, you think of the fact that your Nexus event was a fickle thing in the grand scheme of things. A mere sentiment, and now it's a fault that you apparently cannot undo.
Would you have regret it?
Ah. You think. That's the problem,
I don't.
Tumblr media
For the love of Buri, what is happening?
You have already time-slipped thrice in a row now, and you're still where you stood afoot a few minutes ago.
You hitched your breathing as you relished the acquainted feeling of distortion, you exhaled in distraught. Your mind trying to run a million miles per second thinking of an explanation on the same bloody concept of time as well as your timely old friend, time-slipping. Marvelous.
But before you could sit down and relax on the cushions edging on two sides of the opposite walls which levels above your knee, you caught in the corner of your eye the wall you tried to dematerialize earlier; now fading from white to being transparent like glass.
And behind the glass wall stood your captors.
You tried to ground yourself with the wall beside you, but you pushed your body to the side so that you can at least have the decency to look like you aren't struggling so much. Because you definitely aren't.
"Good catch." remarked Stark. "We have so much going on today with Earth being threatened by a goofy alien that's apparently so much more dangerous than we could know — and now, you add more questions and trouble to that just for appearing out of nowhere like a grated spaghetti."
You almost missed the way the blonde woman rolled her eyes at Stark's words but nonetheless, you focus on what he said.
Earth being threatened by an alien.
"Do you mean to say... Thanos?" you ask. Doubtlessly aware of his feats and reputation in your timeline. Their heads perked up at the mention of the said Titan.
"You know of him?" quite surprised at the familiar voice, you turn to look at Thor.
Parting your lips with slight hesitation, you reply. "No. No, I do not. At least, not personally. He is called the Mad Titan, a galactic conqueror. Tis but a.... common knowledge where I come from."
"Which is Asgard, is it not?" Loki tauntingly says.
Oh, well.
He eyes you in victory for having caught your lie and the foolish words you had unintentionally slip. But he continued. "Or perhaps, my brother and I are mistaken to assume that you are a kin of our people. As well as considering that of your knowledge of this Mad Titan, you seem to know more than just that." you slightly stiffened, noting the lofty tone he had, slowly strutting his way forward with his hands tucked behind him. "Keep hiding your secrets but your eventual lies will get you nowhere when I'm here, imposter."
"Brother..."
"No, no, let him. It's great that we have a lie-detector in the team." Stark muses, earning an unamused head shake from Rogers.
Your gaze lingers a tad bit longer than you intended to at the raven-head, deciding whether you should even admit your unruly situation to them and potentially double their troubles a hundredfold by stating that their lives are also in danger from a timeless phenomenon and being at risk for the possible collapse of their existence altogether.
Probably not a good idea.
Moreover, you don't want to let yourself fall in the luxury of pitting yourself with fellow Asgardians and perhaps attain the old life you had when you woefully know that you have no place in any kind of reality no more. Your heart clenches at that.
But how can you possibly deny your origin and the non-sorcery distortion materialization, also called—
Your body aches and twists as you grit your teeth, shutting your eyes and reliving the ripping portion of this damned time-slip. As it ended, your breath wavers as you pant, shoulders crooked at the fleeting sensation it brought. Expecting that maybe you have been transported to another timeline, you peek one eye out.
You see the same faces and surroundings except this time, their reaction contorts to a series of pained and horrified expressions. Even Loki looked uneasy.
You exhale. "Pardon me, that must've been very unsightly." you eventually say.
"That just happened again." Banner gawks.
"Are you alright?" a stern voice asks. You turn to meet the concerned eyes of Rogers. "I assume that doesn't happen normally. Not even for Asgardians." you caught the quick glance he gave at Thor before focusing back on you.
You reply, nodding. "No, no, you're right. This is no common occurrence amongst the people of Asgard. It is simply just.... " you puff your body back up in a poised posture. "No, not simply." you let out a strained chuckle, confliction can be traced on your face. "To be painfully honest and blunt, I am lost through time and I haven't got a clue on what exactly I shall plan to do in these circumstances. Although indeed, I am an Asgardian but, from a different...let's say, reality. So rest assured because I don't plan on harming heroes I've accompanied in battle."
You were ready to receive their doubtful phrases and looks, but the sorcerer who brought you in this cage steps forward. Almost like he disapproved everything you had just mentioned.
"Time-travelling is not something to be tampered with. Unless, you're adept at the arts of time sorcery, and to be able to manipulate it without damaging our reality is rather a big feat for a sorcerer." he explains. This time, he frowns at you. "But no. Whatever's happening to you, it doesn't feel like magic."
You take in his words, holding his unrelenting stare. "You're right..."
You know Doctor Strange and his capabilities as the Sorcerer Supreme, and as you thought of the fact that he also possesses the Time Stone, maybe you can do something with his help.
Even though you know the chances of successfully using magic against a complication from TVA is way below the odds, you'd wager.
He raises a brow but before he could add more, you spoke. "Time-slipping." you pause, scanning his expression, hoping that maybe someone who knows so much about the expertise of time in terms of magic could help you discover your way back to TVA. Though, his face doesn't show any hint of knowing so you pushed further. "I've been repeatedly tossed around multiple branches of time against my will, but not because I time-traveled. For now all I can say is, I am stuck here in your reality and, well... with a distorting body."
"Great. Sure. Magic and sorcerers exist, even Gods, so why the hell would I not believe anything about time-traveling now? Tell me, Doc, is she making any sense to you?" Stark walks towards the said wizard. You slightly frowned at the tone he used. If this is how Tony Stark reacts to someone he doesn't trust just like how a particular individual mentioned to you, then you're glad that the Stark that you know favored you well.
Not that it matters anymore.
"I've never heard anything about that kind of problem. Especially now you do confirm it doesn't root from magic." the Doctor answers.
Stark hefts up his hands, looking around at everyone else, as if showing that his point has just been proven.
But from the corner of your eye, you noticed the way Loki haughtily rolls his eyes with a sigh and you perfectly know what irked him at that moment.
"As if a second-rate sorcerer could know anything more beyond the complexion of sorcery and time."
The only woman other than you sighs in slight frustration. "Oh, no. Someone please stop him."
If you weren't in a tight spot, you could've laughed at her compliant. Although, that earned her a glare from the trickster with crossed arms. For once in a while, it's nice to see Loki act so indifferently.
Strange only gave the God a pointed look before resting his eyes back on you. "Okay. If what you say is true, time-slipping as you would call it and to consider there's no magic tapping into this, what exactly do you plan on doing now?"
There it is. "I need your help."
"Are you shitting me right now?" Stark loops in.
"Even if with just your help, Doctor Strange. Please." you plead, firmly stepping closer to the glass barrier.
"How can you assure you're not just after something from us, specifically from him." Loki tips his head in Strange's direction. You know well that he caught unto your intentions as he spares a quick glance at the necklace of the said wizard.
Cocky snake.
At that, everyone stares at you sharply that if looks could kill, you'd be a dead corpse that has been stabbed with various types of weaponry magnificently forged by dwarves.
"You're not entirely wrong if you think that I'm after the Time Stone but for argument's sake, there is a reason why it is called the Time Stone." you explain, trying not to waver for being the receiving end to their eventual wrath. For a second, you thought you'd gain another yet of Loki's condescending retortions, but you're surprised that he only eyed you down impassively. Observing you.
Banner joins in. "If you admit it and put it like that then, I don't even know if you're lying or not anymore." he sits down on one of the metallic chairs by the semi-circular machinery in the middle of the room. "Even though that last part sounded dumb for an excuse; which is exactly why I'm having second thoughts."
"That's... I appreciate that — I think." you say, slightly frowning. It is dumb. You don't blame him though.
He gives you a tight-lipped smile which disappears immediately. "Yeah, no, it's fine."
Stark looks at him incredulously, as if he truly felt betrayed. "Bruce, what the hell?"
The others quirk confusingly at the exchange before you spoke again. "But to be clear again, that wasn't an excuse. Not for deception, at least."
It actually didn't sit quite well with you that the one who usually loves to deceive is standing idly in silence when you mentioned his expertise.
But you know that calculating gaze of his.
"Fine." you bat an eye at the person who spoke. "But you are to be restrained until we deem you trustworthy. One wrong step and you might just end up somewhere other than a cell."
A weight lifts up from your chest, somehow. You eye Strange in relief, almost a hint of exhaustion engulfs your expression but you blink it away. "I am grate-"
Your body contorts and twists once again.

<Previous - Next>
The thing about getting jointly kidnapped with Hiccup by Meatlug was that people also gave you credit. Fortunately for you, as the months went on and after the hassle of Snoggletog, people stopped congratulating you on the street and you fizzled out into blessed anonymity, just the way you liked it, and life went back to your new normal.
You’d been avoiding going into town since summer hit, which was lightning storm season, boy was it rough, and everyone had started putting up large metal objects. You could practically feel the buzz of electricity, the hairs on your neck standing on end. However, you couldn’t avoid everyone forever, though you made one hel of an effort. 
Hesitantly, you knocked on the forge window, package in hand. Over the counter was Hiccup, with a rag, doing some scrubbing over what looked like a very large, very crude statue of who you’d come to know in the island as Thor.
��Delivery!” You called, with as much good humor as you could muster, “Hi.”
The way into the forge was open as it usually was. You scuffed your feet in the dirt and looked back and forth, as if someone would jump out at you and tell you you weren’t allowed to go in. When no one appeared magically to tell you off, which might have been difficult considering the clearing behind you was empty, you slipped inside.
“Hi,” You said again, closer to Hiccup this time. Hiccup himself startled, looking back like you’d caught him in some sort of foul act.
“Hi. Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi,” He said, shoulders stiff, “How are you- I mean, what brings you here?”
You creased your eyebrows, before deciding to ignore his weird behavior.
“...What are you working on?” You asked, peering around him at the statue with only minor dread. It would probably be just another thing to avoid until the end of summer, yeah, but it looked pretty cool.
“Uh- statue!” He deepended his voice unnaturally and cleared his throat, “Hoping to appease Thor, you know. The works.” 
Hiccup not-so-casually leaned on the statue, though you didn’t find it very odd as everyone in the village was acting the same way recently. Something about the perches, which wasn’t very surprising. You’d seen a mob go by earlier, ranting something angrily about dragons. You weren’t super familiar with many of the plots past the movies but you hoped you hadn’t changed anything vital.
“How come?” A small part of you hoped the statue wasn’t some sort of secret you’d stumbled onto by accident. That would be bad news, and very counterproductive.
“You’ve heard about what’s been going on recently, right?” Hiccup deflated.
You shook your head no, setting down the small brown paper wrapped parcel onto a nearby workbench.
“Well, uh,” He started nervously, A line of sweat gathered by his brow, “Since the storms hit, lightning started hitting the perches. It’s been following Toothless around, and everyone;s been saying it’s because of him, so the other Riders and I- they were here earlier- we built the statue.”
He looked incredibly put out and tired, the same way you’d been around Snoggletog.
“If he’s the Offspring of Lightning and Death then why would, you know, the lightning go for him?” You offered, cringing, “It doesn’t make sense.”
You’d done your best to stay out of the dragon politics. It was hard to take seriously, given your background. And, also, everyone got a little bit heated whenever the subject was brought up, which usually ended in blood. Double also, as an outlier who was quite literally very disconnected from the situation, you had a lot of odd and unpopular opinions. So, yeah, you avoided it. But now, looking at him, you kind of felt bad.
 “I mean, I’m not trying to sound blasphemous or anything, but also then theoretically shouldn’t the Gods have shot you down earlier? There are better ways to have done you in, probably. And still get the message across. I don’t know.” 
You paused, and when he didn’t react, you hesitantly continued, despite every instinct shouting at you not to. 
“Either way, setting up more metal is kind of a dangerous way to go about it, isn’t it?” You shuffled your feet nervously, “Would probably be best to take them down?”
Maybe then you could run around town more often.
“What do you mean?” Hiccup looked a little scandalized. Definitely blasphemous. There was no going back now, though.
 “I mean, metal attracts lighting. So it doesn’t matter who you’re trying to appease. You’re probably just going to get your signals mixed.”
You didn’t say any more on the subject. Probably wouldn’t be helpful to say that most people in the modern day didn’t believe in the Norse Gods. You were so going to get axed.
“What do you mean?” He asked again, still staring at you blankly.
“Lighting is usually attracted to tall objects, but if there’s metal in the area, it’ll go to that. Learned it in elementary.”
“Elementary,” Hiccup mouthed, confused. The thing about being in the past and being able to speak two languages, one of which didn’t even exist yet, was that you could say whatever word you wanted and no one would get it. That was also a downside, in multiple different aspects.
“Anyways,” You stuttered, unwilling to explain that, “There’s a thing people used to set up by their houses back home so lightning wouldn’t hit their houses when it got stormy. A metal rod or something. The perches are probably, ah- the statue’s good. If you gave it to her, Gothi might appreciate it. I mean, she does live on top of the mountain. Would probably keep her from getting struck, you know?”
“Are you sure?” Hiccup asked. He looked like a dog who’d just gotten a bone.
“About Gothi?” You asked, rubbing the back of your neck, “I mean…”
You paused, rolling up and down the balls of your feet and looked around, unsure of what you were supposed to say.
“Am I going to get in trouble for being in here? I don’t want to-” You turned back around. Hiccup was gone.
Gobber had just walked by you shaking his head at the sky, seemingly blind to your appearance.
You looked left and right at the dispersing crowd, wondering what was going on as you began to slog your way through. Everyone, as they left, seemed sort of disinterested and annoyed.
At the front of the crowd was Hiccup, looking incredibly singed and dazed from where he was on the docks. His father, the Chief, and Astrid, were nearby. Astrid had just begun to leave. Stoick, it seemed, was finishing up a hardy lecture and scolding.
You decided to wait politely until he was finished and ogling at the small array of large and small metal rods until the Chief left. Perhaps that was what had drawn you outwards. You’d heard rather than seen a pretty big commotion earlier, which led you down the cliffs  despite your ultimate resolution to stay out of everyone else’s crazy business. Some things were just unavoidable. Or unignorable. Curiosity was a part of human nature, after all.
“Oh,” Hiccup said, once the two of you were left mostly alone, besides the occasional straggling fisherman, “Hi.”
“You made all this?” You said. You put the pieces together fairly quickly, “That’s really cool.” 
“Couldn’t have done it…” He mumbled, “Without your help.”
“You probably would have figured it out on your own,” You suggested wearily. His eyes were sort of glazed over, like hw wasn’t completely there, which set alarm bells ringing in your head, “Hey, are you alright?”
Hiccup stumbled forwards, roughly tugging your hands into his own before he picked them up, grinning widely. His hands were oddly hot to the touch and his left hand was red in a pattern that looked sort of like worms. 
“I think I love you,” He declared. It looked like he was going to lean forward for a second, before stumbling backwards and collapsing onto the wood dock.
“What happened…?” Hiccup uttered exhaustedly, cradling his bandaged head.
He looked around groggily, slowly taking in the grassy dried herb smell of Gothi’s hut and the bowls of spices and bones lining the walls
You were seated on a stool by the bedside, currently his, probably Gothi’s when there were no patients around. 
“You collapsed. So I, uh, I pulled you up here. How are you feeling?” You asked cautiously, wrinkling your brows. 
“Uh, hi?” Hiccup’s eyes widened, flushed like he was embarrassed, “I’m good. I’m so good.”
Hiccup tried to lean back, though the heavy bandaging wrapped around his lightning-scarred arm prevented him from doing that safely. His expression stiffened and he looked down, eyeballing his ruined sleeves.
“Yeah, sorry about that,” You said, “I couldn’t understand what Gothi was saying and we kind of had to cut your sleeve off to get to your arm. The lightning kind of burned it weird too, and it was sticking to your skin, so yeah.”
“Oh, it’s alright,” Hiccup scratched at his cheek with his alright arm, looking a little bit bummed out, “I have more at home.”
“Well, yeah, maybe, but-” You sighed, a little put off, “Anyways, I didn’t have enough to pick up anything nice but a bunch of people heard and helped me pitch in for a new shirt.”
You nodded down to the red tunic laying on the bed by his foot. It wasn’t his signature green but they didn’t really have that, which was unfortunate because red dyed fabric was expensive. Hopefully he’d be out of it soon and in his normal wear. It was going to be weird seeing him in red.
“Oh, wow.” Hiccup said, “Really?”
“Oh, sorry,” You said, after your knuckles scraped each other. You met him halfway with the tunic and pulled it taut when he tried to unfurl it with one hand, so the whole thing was on display.
“Th-anks,” Hiccup said, as if a spare piece of food had gotten stuck in his throat.
You responded with an unhurried “No Problem,” as he gave it a once-over. 
After a moment, he let it down and you took the signature to let go as he clumsily folded it again, leaving it to sit in his lap over the old, scratchy blanket Gothi had provided.
“Yeah,” Hiccup mumbled, squinting, after a moment, “What… exactly happened? I mean, I have a few memories, but it’s all really blurry. I remember- I- Uh-”
Hiccup shut up.
You winced. 
“Yeah, you, ah, got struck by lightning, I think. Unfortunately. But you did prove Toothless was innocent, so there’s that.”
“Yeah?” Hiccup very studiously examined the wall to his left.
“By the way,” You started him, “You said something before you fell unconscious.”
Hiccup laughed nervously, “Nothing weird?”
“I’m not sure. I haven’t really learned the word in Norse yet.” You said, shifting in the stool, which was just starting to make your back ache.
“Learned-? Uh,” Very decidedly, Hiccup shut his eyes. His face said exactly what he was thinking, which was ‘Oh Gods,’ “What did I say?”
“What does ‘love’ mean?” You stared at him, question in your eyes. Hiccup opened his mouth once, then closed it, then he opened it again.
It looked like he was having some sort of battle with himself. You decided that maybe you should leave him alone about it for now. And rightly so, because instead of answering, Hiccup decided to lay back down and roll back towards the wall.

Warnings: these drabbles will include dark elements such as noncon, control, intimidation, violence, death, suicide, and other stuff that may not be specified. Take this as you chance to scroll by.

Please let me know what you think <3
🍯🍯🍯
You open your eyes. It's grim and grey. The world is just as heavy as your body. You try to move but it hurts too much. You drop your hand back to the bed and stare at the green canopy.
You don't remember how this happened. You were in the kitchen, now you're here. You groan, your mouth is dry and sticky.
There's movement in the shadows. You flinch and tense as you squint into the dark. The lamp flicks on and illuminates a familiar face. She smiles, her eyes swollen from her tears, and squeezes your hand.
"I'm sorry, I fell asleep."
You don't say anything. You couldn't if you tried. You give a strained look as she pets your knuckles.
"He's gone. Thor. For now. I told him... I'd be good if he let me stay."
You stare at Muffin. That makes you sad but you don't know why you would care if he's gone. He's not done anything to you.
"I didn't mean for him to hurt you."
Your eyes round and you cough. You squeak as it thrums in your bones. Why would he hurt you? What did you do?
"I decided that if it means I get to see you, then I'll talk all he wants me to."
You nod and squeeze her hand back. You don't have strength to do more than that. You wish she wasn't stuck with him. You wish you didn't know exactly the dread that edges her tone.
"He killed my father," she utters, "Just like... just your mom. But I didn't know."
You give a sympathetic grimace and tilt your head. She never speaks so much, she must be really upset.
"Sorry," you croak and nearly on your arid tongue.
"No, I'm sorry. I was stupid. Just like those other girls."
You furrow your brows and blow out. You shake your head slowly, "not stupid--"
"Yes, very. They're not going to get away. Not forever. They can't."
"Muffin," you murmur.
"I'm done with hope, aren't you?"
You seal your lips and your eyes sting. You don't know what to say. Muffin was always the happy one, she always made you feel better. She is the light in the tunnel and now it's all caving in.
"That went... a long... time... ago," you eke out, little by little.
She laughs into a sob and covers her face. She cries, her shoulders heaving as her despair consumes her. Your own tears trickle out. Your head pulses from the base.
"There's..." You raise your hand and point to the green chest nestled against the wall, "in there. Bottom, pouch..." the words are hard to piece together, "brown with golden string."
She looks at you in confusion. She sniffles and gulps. Slowly, she stands as your arm falls limp. That was your plan, the one you never could bring yourself to follow through on. That makes your chest pit and questions if it's all so bad.
She goes to the chest and lifts the lid carefully. She bends and stirs through the depths. You hid it there with the spare blankets because Loki never deals with all that. You make the bed, you cook the meals, he merely walks upon your freshly mopped floors. Still just a god with his head in the clouds.
She finds the pouch, the little bag once storing one of many necklaces gifted from your avaricious husband. In which you hid the tablets secreted from Tony's cabinet during that chaotic party. You could always get some wiggle room if you gave Loki what he wanted.
"There's not enough.... for both..." Your head lolls and you give and acidic smile, "didn't think..."
She comes back to you and looks inside the sachet. Her eyes flick up and she gives you a dire look. You let the doom numb you.
"You can... have them," you turn your head. "I could.... couldn't."
She doesn't say anything. She stands there, unmoving. Maybe she won't do it. Maybe she'll put it back and stay with you.
"I'm a coward," you confess, "but... you're not."
She sits on the bed again. You look at her through a wall of grief. She won't look at you.
"Can I lay with you?" She asks at last.
"Please," you reach for her hand and grip it firmly around the pouch, "you'll just... go to sleep. I will too."
Again, she hesitates. "What about you?"
"What about me?" You sigh, "I'll find another way... maybe."
You let her go and she dumps the pills into her hand. She stares at them, her throat constricting, and then she pours them into her mouth. She holds her palm against her lips and gulps loudly. She chokes a little and coughs it out. She gives a blech at the taste.
She tosses the sachet and stretches out next to you. You drape your arm over her shoulders as she puts her head on your chest. She slings her arm over your middle and you turn your gaze to the ceiling. Misery loves friends but your only friend does not deserve this misery.
"I love you," she says with a yawn.
You move your hand in front of her face and sign back to her; "Love you forever."
---
This is goodbye to Darling and Muffin. Thank you all for sticking around.

Loki x Fem!Reader
“Betrayal and Healing”
Warnings: none really, emotional vulnerability, mention of complex familial relationships, he cries
———————————————————————————-
When Loki finds out he is a frost giant, he feels as if his world comes down around him, crushing his mind and soul. There is a roller coaster of emotion running through him, feeling like needles in his blood.
He feels the anger first, grabbing the madness and holding it in his cold, iron fist. He feels betrayed. Lied to by the ones he thought his creators, his father, his mother.
He and his father were never particularly close with one another, but the connection of the parental guidance and care always seemed like enough. This hope for his relationship with his father has now been ripped from his begging grasp, he feels that rope break and it burns his hands.
His mother, on the other hand, was his lifeline. His hope, the first to teach him and love him and see potential in him. That may be why he feels the most betrayed by her. He feels that every affection she ever gave him was false, misguided. Phony. It makes his insides churn as disgust with himself rises in his chest. He feels her love for him and the heartbreak in her eyes as he looks at her with hatred. But he is blinded by that rage. He could never truly hate her, no matter how much he wanted to.
Next, he feels the vengeance bubble up in him like magma, burning him from the inside out. He fantasizes how he can make them feel just as betrayed and hurt as he does. He wants to prove to them that he is not nothing, he wants their souls to bleed because his is gushing. His anger drives this as he thinks of his family with nothing but contempt.
He is flashed back to his childhood, thinking of his father’s obvious favoritism toward his brother. He finally knows why, he thinks. The anger bubbles inside of him when Thor’s image is painted in his mind. His father’s “only worthy son.” He wants to make Thor feel the pain of being ignored, neglected just as he was in his early years.
The next emotion that washes over him is a sadness in its purest form. He feels alone now, like nothing ever truly mattered. He is violently aware that his constant battle for his “father’s” approval was all for naught. He realizes that no one truly knew who he was, not even himself. The thought aches.
Then, he thinks of you. The only person to show him the privilege and joy of selfless love and care. He knew you didn’t care about his status or his reputation, you loved him just as he loved you. Without consequence.
With the thought of you, his mind sinks as he feels heavy waves of shame and fear wash over him. He realizes that this is nowhere near what you signed up for. He thinks now that he is a monster, he is an abomination. That now that you knew, you wouldn’t be disgusted by him. That you will most certainly leave him in all due time. The thought rips him apart limb from limb. The dread tears right through his chest and feeds on his freshly broken heart.
When all of these feeling wash over him, he decides to call you. He doesn’t know what else to do and he’s afraid you won’t come. He waits with bated breath and denied tears as he waits for you. His skin freezes and every nerve in his body feels as if it’s on fire.
He sits on the edge of the bed when he hears rapid, panicked footsteps come to his door. They pause only for a moment as his door is thrown open and his head snaps to see you. Out of breath and knees quaking in worry, you walk up to him as quickly as sore feet can take you.
You run up to him, chest heavy with concern as you pant, just staring at him. He stands up and begins to pace, stressed. His hair is damp with nervous sweat, his body exhausted by raw emotion. His hands are shaking, freezing and terrified of what you’d say. He can’t bring himself to look at you as he tells you what he is.
“I am a monster.” His voice breaks and he fights down tears. He feels disgusting, his own words slice him open. “You should go.” A choked sob comes up and is pushed violently back down as he tries to hide from you. He shrinks into himself as though he’s been burned.
You stand up, prepared to speak with as much conviction as you could muster through your own emotion. “No. I’m not leaving, Loki.” Your heart is torn to pieces at the state of him. It hurts how awful his words are, how the request seemed begging, as if he actually meant it. His gaze on you is hard on the surface, as if he’s angry with you. You know he’s not, he’s never been truly angry with you.
His voice raises, “You MUST!” The pure emotion, the fear in his voice shakes you to your core. He glares at you with all the conviction of a kicked dog. You see the vulnerability behind those piercing eyes and you refuse to comply with the emotionally-driven demands. You see him, you know that loneliness isn’t what he needs.
You storm up to him, taking his face in your hands as your voice raises, determination burning in your gaze. “You will never be a monster, Loki. Not to me. You are still the man I know you to be, knowing of your birth will not change that.”
You see the tears finally begin to fall as the facade breaks. The angry man he showed you vanishing as he sinks back into the crying boy desperate for approval he always has been. He clutched your wrists and leans his head into your hands.
“What if I hurt you? What if I cannot control myself and you get caught in the crosshairs?” His body quakes in fear at the thought. The thought that he ever would hurt you, the thought that it was even possible terrifies him.
“You could never hurt me, I know that. I always have.” Your heart crumbles and you know the only thing in his head talking is his fear.
The that fear has always plagued him, you see it in every conversation, you feel it in every touch. The thought of hurting you scares him more than it does you because he is convinced he may actually do it. You know he can’t. Every time he holds you, he treats you like the finest porcelain, fragile and precious. Even when the two of you argue, he would never even think about raising his voice to its full volume, let alone hurting you.
When he hears your words the dam breaks a little more as his chest wracks with sobs. “How can you be so sure? What if I make a mistake?”
“Then I will hold you in my arms and forgive you. I don’t believe you could ever hurt me out of malice, you are the gentlest man I know. Even if you did, my love for you is like a mountain, unmoved by hardship.” Your thumbs wipe away the continuous flow of tears, suppressing your own.
His shoulders shake as his cries shift from out of fear to relief. You take your hands from his face to moving your arms around him, holding him close, willing your love for him into his body. He feels the warmth and comfort your arms provide him and he cries harder, letting out everything he was bottling up inside himself. He clutches your arms, then your waist as he buries his face in the crook of your neck. As he squeezes his hands into fists on the back of your top, you feel the cold dampness of his tears and rub comfortingly up and down the length of his back. Hushing him and whispering sweet reassurance into his ear.
You’re not sure how long the two of you stay that way. You do know that you would hold him for the rest of time if he said he needed you. His sobs die down to sniffles, sniffles dying down to restoring breaths. When you feel his body relax out of exhaustion, you lead him to the large bed in his chambers and lie down with him. Despite his relaxed muscles, his arms still hold you like you’ll disappear if he lets go.
“Thank you. You have no idea how much you mean to me,” he mumbles into your neck and presses himself further into you. His words nearly make you cry. After everything he’s just been through, the turmoil, the hatred, the betrayal, he still holds you like you are his goddess, his muse, his moon and stars. The vulnerability that he only presents with you makes you feel like you are.
“I love you, Loki, more than anything in this universe,” your voice is hushed and holds enough meaning that you have to bring a hand up to wipe an unshed tear.
He looks up at you when he hears you sniffle and now it’s his turn to hold your cheeks in his hands, long fingers caressing your cheeks and the furrow in your brow. “You are everything to me, I love you.” It’s a deeply meaningful string of words, but he makes them sound so easy, so warm and true. He stares into your eyes a few more moments before holding your body tightly to his once more.
The rest of the world didn’t matter when the two of you were in that bed together. Time kept on, but it was no longer relevant. The two of you would spend eternity in one another’s arms if you could. His grief, his vengeance, his anger could wait, neither of you need it when you knew that the world was here with you. And it didn’t matter where either of you came from, just that you found each other.
—————————————���—————————————
Sooooo I did it again. Not sure if this one is good, I tried definitely lmao. Lmk if there is anything I should work on, constructive criticism is always appreciated 💕💕💕💕

The Call Of Fate, Chapter 5
Tumblr media
It was a few weeks later and Fury had just spoken to Jade, he’d received a message from prince Arthur. He was coming to visit the following day.
Of course, Jade was absolutely dreading it.
The team could tell she was upset, so they decided to keep her mind off it and decided to go bowling and out for food. To just enjoy the day.
‘Why do I get the feeling that being up against a bunch of superheroes is going to go down really badly for me.’ Jade said with a smirk as they all gathered at their lane and Natasha began putting everyone’s names on the screen.
‘Don’t worry, we’ll go easy on you.’ Steve chuckled.
‘Speak for yourself.’ Loki scoffed. ‘Going to thrash your ass, cupcake.’ He winked at Jade.
Natasha and Wanda shared a look with one another.
As Jade expected, everyone was very competitive. She was quite good at bowling though and had always enjoyed it, so she was hopeful she wouldn’t come last.
While Thor and Steve had the strength, they didn’t really have the technique to get all of them down unless by a fluke. Bruce, Wanda and Tony had the right technique and skill but not really the same power to get them all down, aside from occasionally.
So the ones Jade was struggling to beat was Natasha, Clint and Loki. They were skillful and had a decent amount of strength, Loki more so who was in the lead. Clint was a close second, his aiming was perfect. Jade ended up being on par with Natasha, which surprised her.
Vision didn’t play because he found the game pointless, but he enjoyed watching the others.
Everyone tried distracting everyone at some point. Though Loki couldn’t resist trying to distract Jade a few extra times, sneaking up behind her one time and poking her in the side as she was about to bowl. Or whistling at her in a suggestive manner as she bent over a bit to roll.
But she got her own back too, of course. When she opened a new straw, she did the old childish trick of blowing in one end so the wrapper flew across and got tangled in his hair when he was mid-bowl. And when he had rolled a strike, about to head over to do his second roll she launched for his leg and grabbed a hold to try and stop him getting to the lane within his time. But he managed to keep walking and just dragged her along, making the team laugh.
‘You’re pretty good at this. Are you sure you don’t have powers?’ Bruce asked Jade after her next shot. When things were getting rather intense and more serious.
‘I wish! But I have played quite a lot.’ Jade said.
Clint ended up just taking over lead from Loki on the last round. Loki wasn’t happy about it. Jade was the last one to bowl, she was ahead of Natasha by only a few points and just behind Loki.
As she rolled, she was shocked that she got a strike. Her fifth one of the night, which she was delighted about.
‘Oooooooh!’ Everyone cooed. If she got a good second run, she would have a chance of getting ahead of Loki and Clint. But it would depend on her final roll.
‘No pressure, huh?’ Jade said as she headed over with her last ball.
She just had to hit six pins down to win.
As she rolled the ball, she thought she had messed it up as it started going towards the side. But then it slowly rolled back into the middle and scattered most of the pins, two were left standing and wobbled a lot, before one finally fell over.
The team cheered, aside from Clint who groaned and dramatically fell to the floor, distraught that he hadn’t won.
‘Well done kid!’ Tony patted Jade on the back.
‘Can’t believe I beat a bunch of superheroes.’ Jade said cockily.
As they started packing up their stuff, Loki nudged her with his hip. ‘Good work.’
She nudged him back. ‘Did I notice a tiny glimmer of green on the ball and pins on my last roll?’ She asked him quietly, with a knowing look.
Loki smirked. ‘I would never be able to live with myself if I lost the whole game against Clint, but you, I don’t mind so much.’
Jade laughed. ‘Well, if I get bragging rights for the rest of my life that I beat the Avengers at something, your secret is safe with me.’
Loki chuckled and draped his arm around her shoulder as they headed to a nearby pub for food and drinks.
At the pub, Loki sat down next to Jade. The teasing and fun continued between them, Loki kept stealing some of her chips, so she stole sips of his wine.
‘Do you even like wine?’ Loki asked her after she stole a bit more in response to him stealing one of her mushrooms. He noticed that she would pull a face every time she had some.
‘Nope. But I’m sure it’s better than what’s on your plate. I need payback somehow.’ She shrugged.
Loki chuckled. ‘You better not steal any of my pudding, that’s a hangable offence in Asgard.’
Jade raised an eyebrow at him. ‘Hangable offence? Seriously?’
‘Mmhmm. I’m not joking.’
‘Thor, is he telling the truth?’  
Thor rolled his eyes. ‘Yes, he is. He stupidly suggested it once and pushed to get it to become law. I don’t know how he managed it.’ He said with a shake of his head.
‘Nobody takes my pudding.’ Loki said, looking smug as hell.
But Loki did end up sharing his pudding with Jade. Only because the two of them couldn’t decide between two options, so they decided to share between them.
-
‘We have a problem, guys.’ Natasha said to the rest of the team when they returned, minus Loki and Jade who had gone off to the library.
‘What is it?’ Vision asked.
‘Loki and Jade.’ Natasha replied.
‘What about them?’ Steve asked.
‘Have you guys not noticed?’ Wanda asked.
‘Noticed what?’ Tony frowned.
Natasha and Wanda both shook their heads. ‘How are you guys so blind to have not seen how they are together?’ Wanda said as she face-palmed.
The guys just looked between eachother, confused.
‘Didn’t you notice how Loki clearly helped her to win?’ Wanda asked, she had felt the use of magic in the air.
The team still looked dumbfounded.
‘The nickname he has for her. The fact she can actually touch him without getting told off or strangled. The way they look at one another.’ Natasha continued.
‘Oh, well… Now you come to mention it, I guess so, yeah.’ Steve said sheepishly.
‘Yeah… I did wonder.’ Tony said.
‘No, you didn’t.’ Clint said as he hit his shoulder.
‘Well, nothing wrong with them bonding, is there? Apart from the fact there might be more pranks going on.’ Bruce said with a shrug.
‘She’s supposed to be marrying someone else… And we know how she feels about that. I’m worried about what will happen tomorrow with the prince coming here, and Loki being around.’ Natasha said.
‘Ah… Yeah, that’s a good point. We can’t have any issues caused with the prince, it would be really bad news to be up against the royals like that.’ Tony said.
‘It won’t get to that stage.’ Thor suddenly said.
The team looked at him, waiting for further explanation.
‘We will figure out something for Jade, to stop this from happening. We all know it’s wrong, and not right for her. There must be something we are missing, something that can be done.’
‘I wish there was, Thor. But I’ve exhausted every avenue for a solution.’ Natasha said sadly. ‘The best thing we can do is support her through it.’
‘What do we do about Loki?’ Clint asked.
‘Try and keep him occupied tomorrow. Any missions that come in, he’s priority to go. If there isn’t any, get him training.’ Steve said decisively.
The team mumbled in agreement.

Okay Loki S2 E5 Reaction/ Review Time
SPOILERS AHEAD BEWARE
"Science / Fiction"
OH MY GOD THAT TITLE
I cant believe I was right about all of them being scattered across different time line branches, Loki having to get his friends back and them not having memories of him :O
Also the fact that the fans predicted Casey to be a dangerous / criminal because he was always so gentle in the TVA and then we see him breaking out of freaking Alcatraz?! And the fish references too XD
B15 being a Doctor was so freaking wholesome, she really just wants to help people whetevee she is :D
OB being a Scifi Author and Scientist was just perfect XDDDD
AND WE FINALLY GOT MOBIUS ON A JETSKI THIS IS A WIN FOR THE FANDOM
And again, the fact that the fans immediately predicted that Mobius was a (single) dad in his life, because they spotted a couple toys in front of the house in the mid season trailer :D
(I could literally hear the fanfiction authors melt into a puddle at the potential of Loki x single dad Mobius XD)
And the fact that he isnt just a Dad, no he is a SINGLE FATHER of TWO SONS
The freaking parallel of Mobius' two sons and young Thor & Loki?!
One being a lil mischievous prankster and the other (most likely the older) one who has to keep him out of trouble?! And the fact that he said he loves snakes?!?! That is just straight up a Thor reference?!
No wonder Mobius knows how to deal with people like Loki XD
But as much as I like the parallel of the two sons, I also feel kinda weird about what it could imply for Mobius, like does that mean he is supposed to be a mirror or opposite of Odin? A version of a dad that didnt mess up with their parenting? That this is why Loki feels drawn to Mobius? Is that what we were supposed to conclude from that?
I know we joke about Loki liking older men, and of course Loki has his daddy issues, but if Mobius is an opposite of Odin then what does that mean for Lokius?
Now to some more lore related stuff:
Can I just say that the spaghettification effect is absolutely terrifying?!?! (as stupid as it may sound) Seeing people get spaghettified fills me with just as much dread as the Dusting from the Snap, but it is so much more horrifying because it looks so brutal compared to how "gentle" the Dusting effect is....
Then Loki & Sylvie's talk about being selfish, about their own wants & needs
"Whats wrong with wanting sth?" -  she asks Loki, but in reality, has Loki ever gotten anything he truly desired? (At least L1130 hasnt, man went straight from the Events of Thor 1, to Thanos to the New York attack, he was never able to mend his relationship with Thor or find friends...)
Now... Sylvie, she still frustrates me.... I do get that she wants a life, but you cant just stab or ignore your way out of everything... plus their world is still ending as a matter fact...
It literally took her fav lil branch getting wiped out, to realize that she was wrong, that Loki was right all along, and that was AFTER she had just convinced Loki to give up his quest... because "wanting his friends back" would make him just as "selfish" as her wanting a life... But the difference is, that while Sylvie would chose her life, instead of helping fix everything, ignoring the casualties it brings, Loki would be self sacrificial enough to give up his own needs, which he literally was about to do, until Sylvie got back because she finally wanted to help avoid the impending doom that threatened to destroy them all.
I think we all kinda knew Loki's drive wasnt necessarily saving the TVA, but wanting/ needing his friends back and wanting to keep them save, but Loki actually admitting that he "wants his friends back, that he doesnt want to be alone"
THAT BROKE ME
Especially with the motive of "no one deserves to be alone" but the Lokis only ever having themselves to find comfort, and if they tried to change that, the TVA showed up to prune them, loneliness was literally what drove Classic Loki out of his hiding and into the arms of the TVA.
And Loki saying "Without them (his friends), where do I belong?"
I didnt know it was possible, but that broke me even more... he just wants a place where he is wanted and safe...
Then the time slipping, Loki being able to Control it?! IS THAT HOW THE MCU INTRODUCES LOKI BEING A WORLD WALKER?!
Loki realizing "Its not about the when, where or why. Its about the Who" (god that part was so sweet, right in the FEELS, it was so over for me, my heart cant take much more of this)
And finally Loki chosing to rewrite "The Story"... actually "Play God" thats now full confirmation of Loki God of Stories right?! RIGHT?! I wanna see my boy, God of Stories Loki is one of my Fave Lokis :DDDD

Embarrassed Banquet
Description: Your required to go to Valentines Day banquet on Asgard. And it was going okay until Loki called you over to where he was hanging out with some other Asgardian women…
Loki x Reader
Trigger Warnings: Angst, embarrassment, public humiliation, arguing, heartbreak, let me know if I missed any. 💕
No use of Y/N
A/N: Heyy, I’ve never wrote angst before so this is a first. Let me know how I did, kindly please💕. I don’t know why but tonight I have felt like the most heart broken emotional person and I don’t know why. I just feel super alone and had a anxiety attack I believe. So after I calmed down I wrote this. Anyways I hope you enjoy💕😌👍
(Not my Gif, credits to maker)
Italics-Inner thoughts
You were sitting in your room laying on your bed, reading a book. A book about a love you’ve never felt. A perfect love, the couple had been through their hardships as all couples do. But as you were nearing the end of the book the couple was content. They loved each other, would die for each other and put each other first over everything. You stopped reading for a moment and zoned out as you imagined what that would be like. All the relationships you had been in before weren’t like that. It was always unevenly yoked. You always loved them more than they loved you. It always seemed you were a toy, just a pass time. Time and time again you had begged for just the bare minimum. Now your at the point you’ve just given up on love. You want to love again but no one seems to love you… you sit there picturing what it would be like for someone to hug you and mean it, to have someone wipe your tears away, smile at you and tell you it’s alright. For someone to have a tickle fight with, till you both are laughing so hard your insides hurt. For someone to say “I love you.” and actually mean it. With their whole heart. Eventually you look up at your clock and realize it’s time for you to get ready for the Valentine’s Day banquet. Thor heard of this holiday from Midgard and told the King about it and they decided to make it a required banquet for all of Asgard to attend. You grumbled to yourself as you weren’t ready to look at all the people who had what you desired so much. To see people actually love each other. Yes there was a singles portion to this banquet. But you know most people on Asgard… it usually doesn’t end well. Plus for awhile you’ve had feelings for Prince Loki, who you have been quiet close too. But as much as you have always given him your all, he has his eyes elsewhere…
Walking through the gorgeous halls is the castle, you absorb all the pink and red and purple decorations. As you cringe because you’re dreading this banquet so much. You start to approach the doors to the banquet hall as your dress sways and your heels click across the floor. You stop for just a moment and take a deep breath, you hear all the music, talking and laughing…you just cringe. But you know you have to attend so you force yourself to walk in. Once your inside you find the nearest corner you can find to get out of the way so you can just observe. Your not very good at socializing, so you just stand there awkwardly looking at your shoes and playing with the fabric of your dress or the ring on your finger. You do it so much that your finger starts to hurt from you rubbing the ring so much. Eventually you see Loki, as usual he’s flirting with pretty much everyone. Everyone but you… your pretty sure he doesn’t even know your there. But that’s really no surprise to you as no one seems to notice that your there. But your used to it, not that you like it. But it is what it is… eventually your parents notice you and greet you. And of course they harp on you about how your just standing in a corner and that you’ll never find anyone that way. And you know they’re right. Your not pretty enough for someone to just walk up to you and flirt. Now your parents wouldn’t say that to you but you all know it’s true…
The night starts to die down and finally Loki actually notices you and waves you over to him. As you walk over from your corner that you had made your temporary home, you start to get nervous and have butterflies in your stomach.
“Hello my dear, how has your night gone?” Loki asks you
“I’ve just been standing in the corner where you saw me, just not really my thing.” You replied as you continued to play with your ring on your finger.
“I understand my dearest, it can be overwhelming.”
A couple of girls come up behind Loki as they look at you. If looks could kill, you would be dead. One girl places a hand on Loki’s shoulder another greets him by kissing him on the cheek. Of course your heart sinks, you feel it drop like a bowling ball had just dropped from your chest to the bottom of your stomach. And your heart physically felt pain. But those feelings seem to be an age old friend. Really more like a parasite you can’t seem to get rid of. He grins and greets both women. And with venom behind every laced word they ask “Who is she and why is she talking to you?” Loki then introduces them to you and he introduces you to them and explaining to them that your an age old friend. Unfortunately the girls read you like a book and could tell that you liked him more than a friend. Your not quite sure what gave it away. If it was your demeanor about how shy you were with him and how every time he smiled at you, you blushed. Or if it was the way you played with your ring and looked down when you spoke to him. But they took that as competition and they decided they wanted to put that to an end in the most embarrassing way possible…
When Loki finished explaining that you and him were age old friends, they laughed. They literally laughed, audibly and loudly. Causing people around to glance over to the four of you as the Prince looked confused.
“Friends? Aww that’s cute that you think your just friends.” the girl on the left said loudly to Loki.
“She has a little school girl crush on you can’t you see?” The girl on the right says as the girl on the left is laughing so hard and so loud she has to grab her stomach.
“Seriously it’s so obvious I mean look at her now, her face is bright red.”
“Aww it looks like she’s about to cry.”
And you are, your about to cry. Your trying so hard not too. Not just because Loki is right there but now because they have caused a scene and everyone is now looking and the banquet is silent and focused on you. Unfortunately Loki is in shock and just doesn’t know what to do.
“Seriously what makes you think a girl like you could ever stand a chance to have any relationship with the Prince. Your lucky that he even thinks your friends.”
At this point you are crying and you have no idea what to do so you just run. You run as fast as you can as your tears stream down your face, ruining the make up you worked so hard on. You were so proud of it. You’ve never been so humiliated, all you can hear is those girls laughing. You think you possibly hear Loki call your name after you started running but you decided that it was just your heart playing with you. As you ran you could hear your heart beating in your chest. You couldn’t breathe, you were hyperventilating. Your chest heavy all you wanted to was scream. All you could do was focus on getting to your room and crawling in bed. Your head started to hurt as you were under such emotional and physical strain…
You finally got back to your room and you never have shut your door so quickly. You slammed it shut and once you did, you just fell to the floor. You tried sitting up but your body just collapsed as you laid on the ground crying. Your body shaking as your breathing was so out of wack. You tried so hard to take deep breaths and calm down but nothing seemed to help…
You just kept crying eventually it started to slow down a little and your just quietly sobbing. Eventually you hear a knock at your door. And you hear your mom and dad on the other side.
“Hey honey, we saw what happened and we are so sorry. We didn’t want to rush after you right when it happened because we figured you would want to time to yourself. If you don’t wanna let us in that’s okay too. We left you a little gift for you outside your door. We love you honey.”
You smiled a little but still had quiet sobs. Eventually you dozed off on the floor. Still in your dress and tear stained face. You just didn’t have the energy nor the care to move to your bed.
You slept well into the next day, a knock at your door is actually what awoke you. You sat up and looked at your window and saw the sun was setting.
“I can’t believe I slept all night and day.”
A knock sounded on your door again.
“Hello dear, it’s Loki. Nobody has seen you today including myself. Are you alright?”
“Oh yeah sure I’m alright, especially after last night.” You thought to your self sarcastically as you just chose to lay back down on the ground, still not having the energy to get up after last night.
“Everyone is extremely worried about you.”
“Yeah sure.”
“Your parents have left you a gift out here I’ll gladly bring it in for you.”
Seconds pass…
“If you don’t open this door I’m going teleport myself in.”
…More seconds pass…
You hear a slight thud sound as you look up to see Loki. You can’t believe he would invade your privacy like that… but then you remember how bad you look and start to panic, the color draining from your face, you look away.
“Oh dear.” Loki says with a look of worry on his face. He looks down at you and gets down on his knees. “Look your parents brought you a vase of beautiful flowers. They even have a little note on them. I’ll let you read it yourself.” You look up at him to look at the flowers but you hide your face away with your hands. He reaches over to you and pulls your hand away from your face. “We all cry sometimes it’s alright.” he says in a calming tone. You then just try to wipe your face with your hands hoping to help a little with your ruined mascara and eyeliner. He then hands you the flowers, and you smile as you smell them and admire the beauty of them. You wonder what it must be like to be a object that is so beautiful that no one hates. You take the note your parents wrote you and place it on your dresser to read later once Loki has left. And put the vase of flowers next to it. You then lean against your door and fold your legs up and place your elbows on your knees as you play with your ring again.
“I truly am sorry dear for the way people treated you last night. And I’m sorry that I froze and didn’t know what to do.” He said to you in an endearing manner.
“Thank you, but you didn’t do anything wrong really.” You replied.
He then looked down at the floor then back up to you as he heard you take a deep breath.
“Loki why do you hang out with those types of people. They aren’t you, not the real you. I know you, your better than that.”
“You don’t know that.”
“Yes I do, I really doubt those women have seen what I’ve seen you do. The caring side of you, not the flirtatious cocky attitude you portray for your father.”
“How dare you, really? That you think you know me so well?”
“Yes I do and I know you well enough that I know this isn’t you speaking, it’s your father.”
“How dare you speak to me like this maybe you did deserve what happened last night. Or is it true does the little girl has a school girl crush on me.” Loki says with a laugh.
“Screw you.” you reply looking away.
“Ahh so it is true, that’s why you ran out crying because you were exposed. I mean I really can’t blame you, I am quite ravishing but how pathetic it truly is.”
“Loki I know this is you just trying to deny your self so you can make your father proud. So you can go off and date all these beautiful women who are perfect and come from perfect families. And if that’s what you wanna choose over someone who truly cares about you and loves you for who you are. For the son who is adopted and isn’t full Asgardian. But I never cared that you were part frost giant. Go tell those girls that and see how they react. I’m the person who has sat by your side and read books with you by the fire late into the morning. I’m the one who has sparred with you and eventually in turns into a wrestling match on the ground as we laugh and end up rolling down the hill together holding on to each other as we cry laughing. I’m the one who listens to you rant about your father.” You say all this gradually getting louder and more mad and more upset.
“I’m the one who actually will be there for you and I’m not just chasing after money or the throne. If you wanna throw that away fine! Then leave me alone and don’t ever come to me when those girls don’t work out because I’m not going to be there. I’m not a last resort Loki.” You say yelling through tears streaming down your face.
Loki just sits there in silence. He knows your right. He knows your the right choice. The one who would truly cares, the one that truly loves him. But he’s so torn, because he just wants to impress his father. To be equal with his brother to his fathers eyes. Unfortunately by choosing you… he would be scolded or even possibly punished by his father. And he’s worked so hard his whole life. To just prove that he is worthy… What he doesn’t know is that to you, he is worthy.
He doesn’t know what to do or say…
“I’m sorry my dearest…” he says to you and just vanishes, teleporting out with his magic. And all that’s left is just a little bit of green smoke, then eventually nothing but your quiet sobs.
A/N: Helloo, I hope you enjoyed this. If you liked it and would like a short part two with a possible happy ending I can do that. Right now I’m upset and just wanted to write something kinda how I feel. But when I’m in a better mood I’d gladly write a happy ending part two or I can just leave it sad like this.
-Kisses💕

Hiiii it's me again 😭. I'm sorry for sending too much request I feel like a bother lmao. Is it possible to have a possessive, jealous and overprotective big brother Loki? Reader is the youngest of all of the Odinchildren and is the sweetest but maybeeeee bit naive. Can you make it very fluffy and a bit angsty. (Bonus if you can add Hela interaction but you don't have to) You don't have to do this since I know I asked a lot in the past month or so 😭
Nah it’s alright I enjoy what I do lol, send as many as you’ll like dear
Loki x reader
Naive
"Who was that guard you were talking to?"
"You know him hela, it’s father’s right hand in the army, he’s been very nice to me, showing all the fascinating weapons we have"
Your older sister rolled her eyes and wondered how she ended up with someone as oblivious as you being her sibling.
"I’m going to bed and stay away from that man."
"Whatever, you’re just being weird"
"Who’s being weird" a little black cat said before shifting into your older brother.
"Hela, she’s being weird about me hanging out with the general" you crossed your arms with huff and failed to see the look of absolute dread on your brother’s face.
"You can not be serious, that man?"
"Yeah what’s wrong with it? Don’t tell me you agree with her, he’s my friend!"
Loki fought the urge to roll his eyes "I’m just looking out for you, nobody is worth your precious time sister"
"Nonsense! You waste your time pranking others all the time, you’re the last one to talk about wasting time Loki"
Loki stared at you with amused eyes then snorted "do as you like then, if you think you’re so grown now that is"
"I’m responsible if that’s what you’re trying to say! All of you need to trust me!"
"We do you just need to listen to us when we advice you."
"I don’t want too! I’m not dumb or gonna be taken advantage of…it’s so annoying!" You huffed and walked away, they can all think whatever they want the man was nice and you unlike them had faith in him, plus you’re sure he wouldn’t do anything bad to you, he’s under your father of course.
Loki on the other hand let you be but still informed Thor of what’s going on, there will be a celebration soon and everyone in asgard will be there, including that man of course.
So although Loki wasn’t hands on per say but he kept close, he saw that man approach you like expected and asked you for a dance which of course he expected, Loki put a stinging charm on his fingers that hurt whenever he moved his hand lower than your hip.
Thor spilled his drink accidentally making the man slip and hela did her part by glaring at him and making him shake in his boots.
And best part you didn’t notice a thing, you thought it was all coincidence.
"Poor him, he looks tired" you looked back your so called friend laying on a sofa and heaving like a dog "what an unfortunate night for him"
"Definitely unfortunate" Loki licked his lips then smirked mischievously "why don’t you dance with your big brother instead?"
"Sure I guess"
Loki distracted you long enough for you to not notice hela dragging the man outside and disappearing somewhere.
"I’m sorry your date wasn’t feeling so well" he said with fake concern.
"Oh please, even I have standards…he’s kind to me but I’m not ready for a relationship"
"You’re not?"
"Nope I would like to stay your little sweet baby sibling a bit longer before I grow up" you smiled up at him.
Loki shook his head chuckling "you’ll always be my little sibling , no matter old or far you go" he kissed your forehead.
"I’m not gonna see that guard again am I?"
"No."
"Thoughts so…"
