Marrying Thor but being in love with Loki. Have her go to Loki’s room at wedding night so he can finish what his brother failed to…if yu know what i mean
Old work I dug from my wip, I hope you enjoy it <3
Warnings: 18+, smut, infidelity, oral (f receiving)
my taglists are here + you can send requests here at any time
Tumblr media
Sometimes, life doesn’t go according to plan. Sometimes, it rains and you have to wear a cloak over the pretty dress you wanted to wear that day. Sometimes, you get a terrible headache and have to go to bed early. Sometimes, for political reasons, you have to put duty before heart matters.
One is the heir to the throne, the future king…and the other one is the king of your heart.
Your father had forged this arrangement with Odin in secret, with hopes of uniting realms. Though such alliances through marriage were nothing new, neither you nor Thor had been consulted beforehand. You were quick to voice your displeasure to your respective parents, but they didn’t care. You and Thor were going to marry. 
Your future husband didn’t care too much. Duty was duty. 
Loki, however, had a different perspective. When the news of the marriage got to his ears, he was furious. 
He didn’t show up to the marriage, which was expected and better that way. No one wants to see the person they love marrying another. 
After the ceremony, you snuck out of Thor’s quarters and ventured to Loki’s. You were mindful of the guards all around the palace, knowing that if you were seen there would be consequences. 
You knocked on his door, your fist delicate against the thick wood. You could hear some shuffling, followed by footsteps coming to the door. He was out of his day clothes and wearing a dark green soft, silk shirt and lounge pants. 
The corner of his mouth curled into a smirk when he saw you in your delicate robe and hair undone, cascading down your back in loose waves caused by your wedding hairstyle. ‘’What do we have here? The future queen of Asgard sneaking from her dear husband’s bed on her wedding night. Marital troubles already?’’ 
You fought the envy to roll your eyes at his remark. ‘’I braved the guards to see you, don’t leaving me standing in the corridor.’’
Loki stepped aside and you walked in, closing the door behind you. Inside, everything looked the same as it always did; the bed was perfectly made, the thick curtains were shut and shielding the room from the glow of the moon, and the desk was stacked with parchment papers and bits of used charcoal.  
‘’Don’t you have better things to do than clandestinely visit your dear husband’s brother in the middle of the night?’’ Loki's voice was laced with a bitter edge as he spoke, his back turned to you as he walked back to the velvet green couch he was sitting on before you interrupted his reading.
You couldn't help but respond with a touch of sarcasm, trying to break through the tension that hung in the room. ‘’Like listening to Thor’s snores that could make a trumpet sound quiet?’’  
You walked over to the couch and took a seat beside him with your back against the cushioned armrest. It wasn’t very lady-like to sit with your feet on the couch, but no one was there to scold you. The red silk of your robe contrasted with the jewel tone of the couch, a silent reminder that you shouldn’t be there. Red was Thor’s color. 
‘’How was the bedding ceremony?’’ The prince set the book he was reading on the table, his head turned from you to hide how he truly felt about the thought of you and Thor having sex. 
Shifting uncomfortably, you casted your eyes down. ‘’Can we not talk about that—’’ 
Loki ghosted his hand slowly up your ankle, shin, then stopped right below your knee. ‘’Does he touch you like I do?’’ 
The answer was easy. 
You wouldn’t call Thor selfish, but when it came to sex, his performances weren’t what you would expect from a god. The rumors were true, even a good dick doesn’t guarantee you good sex. No foreplay or any kind of fun, just plain old missionary…for five minutes. The liters of Asgardian Ale he had drank during the wedding celebration were possible to blame for that terrible experience. Hopefully it won’t always be like that. 
With Loki, sex was completely different. He knew your body like the back of his hand, the exact ways that had your back aching and screaming. And there was a connection that just wasn't there with Thor.
You shook your head. 
Loki laughed, genuinely amused from hearing of his brother's incompetence. ‘’You have no idea how hilarious it is. Thor, the mighty God of Thunder and heir to the throne, failed to satisfy his wife on his wedding night.’’ 
‘’I knew it would amuse you. Knowing there’s something you’re more skilled at than him.’’ 
A sly smirk played on the prince’s lips, flattered by your compliment. ‘’Tell me more.’’ 
 ‘’Don’t be greedy.’’ Your eyes longed on him, how beautiful he looked in the glow of the lamp.  
‘’Me?’’ Loki leaned back on the couch, his eyes gleaming mischievously in the dim light. ‘’The only thing I’m greedy for is sitting right in front of me and wearing a color that’s far too overpowering for her complexion.’’ 
His words only strengthened your guilt for taking the hand of a man you didn't love. It was killing you inside to know you'll never get to hold Loki's hand arm in the gardens or kiss him in front of the inhabitants of Asgard.
Turning a blind eye to your new marital status, you let your fingers glide down along the lapel of your robe, and traced teasingly the seam of your belt-tie. ‘’Shall I take it off?’’ you said in a near whisper.
‘’And what of your new husband?’’
‘’He’s sleeping until morning.’’ You pulled at the belt-tie and undid the knot, letting the silk slowly fall and expose your breasts. 
A silent growl caught in Loki's throat. He's mouthed and worshiped those so many times, yet he was still in awe every time you undressed. 
Without withdrawing his eyes from you, he made the robe vanish with a snap of his fingers, leaving you completely bare on his emerald green couch. ‘’Green looks better on you.’’ He delicately grabbed your ankles, and spread your legs before crawling between them. 
A sigh left your lips when he kissed the insides of your thighs, giving attention to what had been neglected in Thor’s quarters. Loki was right, no man touched you like he did. He looked up at you as he kissed higher and higher on your skin, making the situation more sensual. You bit down your lip when he 
placed a loving kiss against your sensitive clit, and grip his dark curls as his tongue swirled and suckled your sensitive bud. 
‘’Ahh, Loki!’’ 
His name was the only one on your tongue, echoing through the wall of his bed chamber and down the corridor.

Comfort
Tumblr media
Summary: you go comfort Loki in the dungeons after Frigga's funeral. Warnings: angst, hurt/comfort, mention of death, little argument but its itty bitty, reader is implied to be more fem and has similar abilities to loki, let me know if i missed anything :) Notes: in honor of loki season two coming out this week, here's loki content! i love him so much and this will probably get worse when the show comes out (I MEAN THOSE SHOTS OF HIM IN A SUIT????? YALL) also i wrote this with one of my ocs in mind, so sorry if there are any more specific details than usual :)
Loki watched as you glided down the dungeon stairs, making a gesture to the guards to put them at ease. You stopped in front of his cell, your body and usual outfit concealed by a black, mourning cloak. Loki could see dried tear streaks on your cheeks, but your expression was neutral.
“What are you doing here?” He spat, pacing slowly.
“I’m here to see if you’re okay,” you replied calmly.
Loki scoffed. “You come down here to comfort me instead of fighting against my father’s orders, like you always did, so I could mourn my mother with the rest of Asgard.”
“I did try, but Odin didn’t budge.”
“Well, you didn’t try hard enough.”
A tense moment of silence followed, then you turned to the guards. 
“Please let me into the prince’s cell,” you ordered in a calm voice.
The guards quickly obeyed and you stepped in, the cell closing you in with Loki. Then, you used your magic to shield the both of you from the rest of the world, casting an illusion to everyone outside the cell and sound proofing it.
“I know you’re frustrated-“
“Frustration can’t begin to describe what I’m feeling!” He exclaimed, causing you to flinch at his tone, but you quickly regained your composure.
“But you did this to yourself, Loki! You weren’t able to go to Frigga’s funeral because of your decisions and the consequences of them!” You paused to take a deep breath. “I was there when she died. I tried to defend her, but they were stronger than I am. I wish…I wish I took that blade instead of her, but I can’t change that, just like how I can’t change what you did and your punishment.”
Loki’s cold gaze softened a bit, his jaw clenching as he turned his back to you. “You don’t understand any of this, darling.”
“Maybe you forget that she was the closest thing I had to a mother. She is the reason I met you, that I allowed myself to fall for you. It’s because of her that we were allowed to court, Loki. I do understand this, I understand you.”
Loki didn’t answer, allowing you to keep going.
“The first night you spent down here, I went to Frigga. I needed to talk to someone about you, about my feelings, and I knew she would be there for me. After I talked things out, she told me she had hope for you. She wanted you to be better, and she wanted to free you from here as soon as she thought you had learned your lesson. She loved you, she wanted you and I to run away from Asgard to live our lives peacefully and happily. She…she wanted us to be married and start a family like we dreamed about. She wanted you, her son, to be happy.”
You saw Loki’s shoulders start to tremble as soft sobs escaped his lips. He quickly crumbled to the ground, his hands covering his face as he broke down into sobs. You quickly went around him and crouched in front of him, your cloak pooling around you two. Your arms wrapped around his neck and he hid his face in your shoulder, soaking the fabric of your cloak with his tears.
You held him tightly, running a hand through his hair comfortingly. You felt tears of your own start to form, but you blinked them away quickly. You had cried enough, now you needed to comfort your love.
After a few minutes like that, Loki pulled his face away and met your gaze. You cupped his cheeks and wiped away any stray tears. The sight of his bloodshot eyes and tear stained cheeks broke your heart.
“I love you, Loki,” you whispered softly, your voice shaking with emotion.
“I love you, too,” he replied just as quietly.
His hands fell to your waist, holding you close as he pressed his forehead to yours. You didn’t kiss, neither of you wanted to. You just wanted this. The quiet, the closeness, the vulnerability. Loki was scared to show this much emotion to you, even though you two were in love. He didn’t want to burden you or make you think he was weak. Maybe he did regret what he did, but only because he nearly lost you.
“Loki…” You said softly, trailing off as you slowly pulled away from him.
“I know,” he replied, letting you go.
You stood up and walked past Loki, who was still on his knees on the floor.
You stopped, looking over your shoulder. “My illusion will last for at least another hour. I will be back tomorrow.”
With that, you left the cell. Loki watched as you glided up the stairs, your cloak trailing behind as you disappeared and left him alone once again.

omg hiiii love, happy new year <33 🫶🎉
it's so fun reading about the protective fatherly and motherly figures scolding the reader for either reckless reasons or just them overreacting. but what if we… ahem… uno reverse card the situation? so it’s teen reader staying up late and scolding them for their unpunctuality when the gods or humans come home later than expected, ands teen gives them long talks and speeches when they mess up, or don’t answer their phone calls.
let’s not forget the typical “I am not mad, just disappointed” with the gods sitting with shame on the couch while the teen huffs like a tired parent, because a teenager berating people who are hundreds, thousands and billion times their age is so hilarious imo 😭🤣
-When presented with a chance like this- of course you were going to take it!
-Your family told you that they would be home by ten, all of them going to an adult only restaurant, but they promised to bring you a slice of cake which cheered you up, as you had comically pouted when they told you where they were going, “I didn’t want to go anyway!” which made most of them laugh.
-Here it was, almost midnight, when they finally came home, several of them smelling like booze, as they had enjoyed their night out.
-You flipped on the light of the living room, “And just where have you all been? Do you know what time it is?!”
-Several were quickly grinning, as some have had this exact conversation with you a few times when you stayed out a little bit later than you were supposed to.
-Qin Shi Haung, deciding to play the role of the naughty teenager, along with Loki, quickly tried to come up with an excuse, “This isn’t what it looks like Y/N!”
-A few like Odin and Leonidas rolled their eyes, exasperated at the antics as you pointed at the clock, “You told me ten! It’s almost two hours later! What do you all have to say for yourself?!”
-Loki kneeled before you, trying not to laugh, “We didn’t mean to Y/N! We were just having so much fun!”
-You sighed deeply, turning your face from him, “I’m not mad- just disappointed~” he quickly broke and started roaring with laughter and you quickly fell into laughter as well and soon, most of the room was laughing loudly, seeing how comical it was to have the roles reversed.
-You cheered as Poseidon held up a slice of cake for you, wrapping in a to go container in a bag, thanking him before he held it away from you, “It’s too late for sweets- go to bed.”
-You were quickly whining, hugging him, still trying to grab at the bag, “It’s not my fault it’s late~~ you guys are the ones who are late!!”
-He couldn’t help but grin down at you, amused to see you whining, “Go to bed, you can have it for breakfast.” Your eyes felt like they had stars in them, “Really?! Night everyone!” before you ran upstairs as more laughter filled the room as Hades scolded Poseidon, “Y/N does not need to have cake for breakfast.”
-Poseidon didn’t really care, “Y/N’s young only once- something like this once in a while is okay.” Hades sighed deeply, agreeing with him as they all headed back to their own rooms to clean up and to sleep off their hangover, whoever had one.

Something Real
Pairings: Loki X Reader
Warnings: None yet
Summary: Reader is raising her twins in New Asgard, the sons of Loki. One night reader and her boys are having a fun Friday night when they get an unexpected guest.
I don’t know where this is going yet…we’ll find out together…🤷🏻‍♀️
Tumblr media
“Vali! Momma said we need to finish our homework before we can play!”
Vali rolls his eyes at his twin brother, “relax Narfi, I’m just taking a little break.”
Narfi exhales and continues doing his work.
“Narfi! Vali! Are you guys done with your homework?” You yell from the kitchen where you are preparing dinner.
“Almost!” Vali responds back quickly getting back to doing his work. Narfi grinned at his brother and finished the remaining problems in his math homework.
“Done!” Narfi announces proudly, he packs up his books into his backpack and runs to the kitchen to claim his plate of food.
Vali once again rolls his eyes at his brother, over the little goody two shoes attitude. Vali was more prone towards mischief and having fun! Narfi was definitely a momma’s boy.
Vali finishes his work, puts away his things and heads towards the kitchen to wait for dinner.
Narfi was filling his plate and Vali apparently didn’t feel like waiting so he used his developing magical ability to get his serving so he didn’t have to wait.
“Hey!” Narfi yelps.
“Vali, how many times do I have to tell you? No magic in the house. You remember what happened last week don’t you?” You ask exasperated.
“I’m sorry mom, I’m starving! You know how much I love your lasagna..” boy gets his flattery from his father.
“Mmhhm..come on boys sit down and eat.”
The three of them sit down at the dinner table and have idle talk about their day. The boys talked about how school was and what they were learning, any assignments they have due. Narfi was excelling in his studies of course, the boy loved to read and he absorbed all of it like a sponge. Vali was doing well enough in school, he loved his physical activities and magic school. Thank goodness for New Asgard, if not for the remaining Asgardians she would have no idea how to raise such magical children. 
Also the idea of them being alone terrified you, they had such a long lifespan and with Loki gone..you were the only parent they had left and you had maybe 60 more years left if you’re lucky. Thor usually came around to help with the twins, they were the only family he had left and you knew he would always be there for them.
You loved those boys. They were a piece of Loki. The only piece of Loki left.
You met when he tried taking over Earth, he was enamored by you and when he was posing as Odin he brought you to Asgard to be with him there. You knew it was wrong but you fell in love with him and Odin was an asshole. The last time you saw him he was shoving you onto the escape pod with his people when you were all escaping Ragnarok. He tricked you into believing he was going to escape with you but in the last moment he shoved you forward and closed the door behind you. 
You screamed for them to open the doors and slammed your hands against them. The people inside the pod grabbed you so they can strap you in and all you could do is stare at Loki while he looked sadly at you through the window. Tears were falling down his face and once he saw that you were safely strapped in your seat with the rest of the people he pressed the release so the pod can fly off the doomed vessel.
To this day you hear yourself screaming for him in your dreams.
You found out you were pregnant shortly after you arrived on Earth.
At first you were devastated, you wanted Loki to be here with you. You weren’t supposed to do this alone. But then you saw it as a blessing, a part of him will live on. And then you found out you were having twins, Thor was so happy he burst into tears. 
The birth was tough, they had never seen a jotun/human hybrid before so the healers didn’t know what to expect. Luckily Thor asked for the assistance of Pepper Potts and she was able to get the best doctors that were still there after the snap. They worked alongside Asgards remaining healers and delivered your twins successfully.
Years went on and then after the Avengers defeated Thanos, Thor took some time to travel around the universe. The boys were older and they were starting to go to school, you made sure to teach them your Earth customs while they were also living in New Asgard surrounded by Asgardians learning their culture as well.
The boys are now going on 8 years old and are currently in the 3rd grade. They have their math, science, social studies and language arts classes but they also have seidr lessons. Another trait that they inherited from their father and they almost destroyed your house on multiple occasions. Never on purpose of course, most of the time it would be completely random. You didn’t know anything about magic so you asked one of the Asgardian healers at work and she recommended one of the old seidr teachers that survived Ragnarok. 
So now twice a week after their other classes, they have their seidr lessons.
They know who their dad is. You explained to them about what happened in New York, how he was controlled by Thanos, you didn’t tell them how he died..maybe when they were older. You did make sure that they knew he would’ve loved them desperately. And you know he would have, you just hope you are raising them the way he would’ve wanted.
You all finish your meals, “alright guys, you wanna watch a movie or have a game night?” It was Friday night so no need to be up early the next day for school and being Prince Loki’s baby momma has its perks, like not working on the weekends…
Narfi looks at you, “can we go outside and make s’mores?”
You nod, “sure baby we can do that..Vali? You ok with that or did you want to do something else?”
He shakes his head and leans back in his chair, his eyes trained on the ceiling, “no, s’mores sounds good. Just gimmie a minute, I’m stuffed..”
You giggle at his silliness, “alright boys, help me clean up here and we can go outside and get the s’mores started.”
They help you clean up after dinner and collect all of the items for their s’mores, you get outside with some blankets just in case you get cold. The boys of course never get cold..
You start the fire in the small pit you have in your backyard and hand the boys their tools for s’mores. 
You are about to get started roasting and then you see an orange door pop up out of nowhere on the other side of the backyard.
You stand up and make sure the boys are behind you, you get your phone ready to call Val just in case.
You wait a moment and then out steps Loki.
He’s wearing a dirty button up, a tie and slacks. His short hair a mess and he’s covered in bruises and cuts.
He looks at you for a moment, “y/n?”
“What the hell is this?” You ask breathlessly.
“Mom?” You hear Narfi behind you sounding so small and afraid.
You turn and look at the twins, “go inside and lock the door, do not come out until you hear my or Aunt Val’s voice. Understand?”
Vali stands tall, “no mom, we’re not leaving. Is that….?…”
“I don’t know who that is baby, but it is not your father.” You try to calm him.
“I beg your pardon? Did you just say father?” You hear Loki ask behind you.
You turn around, “You..You don’t talk!”…you say sharply to him.
He holds his hands up in surrender, his eyebrows raised at the tone of your voice.
“Mom…that’s dad..”
“No baby, it’s not. Your dad died, I wouldn’t lie to you about that.”
“How can you say that?! He’s standing right there!”
“Vali, let me talk to him alone and see what this is about.”
“No, we talk to him together.” He insists.
“No Vali, he could be dangerous..”
He ignores you and looks to Loki.
“Are you my dad?”
Loki looks uncomfortable, “I…It’s hard to explain.”
“We have time it’s not a school night.”
“Vali! Go inside with your brother.”
“No! You lied to us. You just wanted to keep us from him!”
“No baby, I promise you. Let me talk to him, when I know it’s safe you and your brother can ask all of the questions you want.”
Vali looks at you and then looks at Loki.
“Don’t hurt my mom.”
“Loki holds up his hands again, “I wouldn’t dream of it.”
Vali takes Narfi by the shoulders and leads him inside, no doubt to sit by the window and keep a close eye on the two adults outside.
You watch them close the door and you turn your gaze to Loki.
“Who are you?”
“I am Loki, though not the Loki you knew. I am from a different timeline.”
“Ok..and what are you doing here?”
“As I said..it’s hard to explain.”
“Well like my son said, it’s not a school night…I have the time.”
“Are they truly my…your Loki’s children?”
You take a moment to think about how you should answer him, he could still be an imposter just wanting to hurt you and take your powerful children. You can imagine the children of Loki would sell for a high price.
“Yes.”
“And he died?”
“Yes, Thanos…” you clear the lump in your throat and try to hold back your tears, “Thanos killed him on his way to Earth. What are you doing here?”
“I am looking for a new timeline to call home, you see my timeline no longer exists. I have no home, I have been traveling to different timelines to find one where I can assimilate myself into. So far this is the only one that seems like it would fit my needs.”
“Your needs? And what would your needs be?”
“Peace. I just want peace.”
“So you choose a timeline where you have kids? You sure you don’t want to search some more?”
“No, please..they seem…wonderful. What family do I have left in this timeline?”
“Umm..your brother is still alive..that’s it.”
“Ah..I was hoping I found one where mother might’ve survived..”
“This is crazy, why should I believe any of this?”
He takes a few steps towards you closing the distance, “I remember you from New York, you tried desperately to save me, to reach to my humanity. To be honest with you whenever you were around the Other’s influence was less effective. The last I remember of you, I had left you at your home far away from the city to keep you safe. I promised you I would come for you after my victory.”
“Yea well you lost and went to Asgard and then you came and got me like 2 years later. We lived on Asgard together for a while and then when Ragnarok happened we all came here..well you died on the way..”
“Yes. Thanos..he..he his dead on this timeline now yes?” He asks nervously.
“Yea he’s dead, thanks to the Avengers and then some.”
He breathes in relief, “good…good.”
You take a good look at him and he looks disheveled, “did you want to come inside and get some water?”
“Yes, water would be lovely, thank you.”
You make your way to the house and you hear the sound of the boys running from the window, probably getting into a position to make it look like they weren’t watching them from the window.
“Boys? You can come out..”
You see them walk out of Vali’s room hand in hand.
“Ok guys..this is a lot to take in..I’m not even sure if I understand it to be honest..come sit and I’ll explain.”
The twins sit down and you tell them what Loki told you, “so you see guys, your father, from our timeline did die. This Loki is from a different one where you guys don’t exist yet.”
Narfi finally finds his voice, “so this daddy doesn’t love you?”
You look over at Loki and he again had a very uncomfortable look on his face, “no baby, this Loki doesn’t love me.”
He looks down sadly, “oh..”
You lift up Narfi’s face with your finger, “what’s wrong baby?”
His blue eyes fill with tears and he sniffles, “I was hoping that this daddy would stay with us and we can be a family…but if he doesn’t love you then he won’t want to stay..”
Loki kneels in front of Narfi, “oh my boy, I have to learn my place here in this time, I wish to spend as much time with you two as I can..if that’s alright?”
Loki looks over to you, silently asking permission. You look over at the twins and they have the same look on their little faces. Spitting images of their father.
“It’s getting late, we’ll talk more about all of this in the morning.”
“But mooommm!” Vali let’s out a wine, “but mom nothing, you guys are up way later than usual. Come on go brush your teeth and get in bed.”
“Fiiinnee..” they both walk over to you and give you a hug and a kiss.
Narfi walks over to Loki and puts out his hand, Loki looks down at it and then takes Narfi’s little hand in his giving it a little shake.
“It’s nice to meet you.”
“It’s nice to meet you too Narfi.” Loki looks over to Vali, “and you as well Vali, I am glad to see your mother has a strong protector in her home.”
Vali doesn’t say anything, just looks at Loki suspiciously and reaches for Narfi’s hand. “Come on Narfi, let’s get ready for bed.”
The twins leave you and Loki in the living room and you look over at Loki, “hungry?”
He thinks a moment, “actually yes..”
“Ok, I’ll fix you a plate.” You get up and go to the kitchen, you grab some of the left over lasagna and warm it up. As you’re getting his meal ready, Loki walked into the kitchen and watched you work.
You place his plate on the table and pull out the chair, “your meal your highness.”
He laughs and you are hit was a pang of sadness, you missed Loki so much, but this isn’t your Loki.
He sits down and starts to eat, “this is delicious!”
You giggle, “thank you. You can sleep in the guest room, it used to be Thor’s old room so you might find some of his things in there still.”
He all of a sudden looks upset.
“Ah, so even the woman that bore my children was enamored by my brother. Tell me. Did you immediately jump into my brothers bed after my death or did you wait until my body was cold at least?”
“You don’t get to do that. You have no idea what it has been like. Your brother was all we had after you died. I have never, will never sleep with Thor. I haven’t been able to sleep with anyone since you died. I can’t stop seeing your eyes when I close mine, your laugh, your smile..your death broke me Loki, if I wasn’t pregnant with the boys….”
You dry your eyes and stand up from the dinner table, “the bathroom is down the hall, last door on the right. The guest room is next door to it, you can use that for now while we try to get ahold of your brother to figure out what we’re going to do from here.”
You don’t say anything else and you don’t give him the opportunity to say anything, you just turn around and leave towards your room.
You get to your room and close the door, you rest your back against it and slide down, tears streaming down your face. This was too much. How were you going to do this?
Knock Knock Knock
“Y/n” you hear Loki’s voice on the other side.
“What?”
“Can we speak? Please?”
You dry your face once again, stand up and open the door.
You see Loki, looking down in shame.
“I’m sorry y/n. I had no right. You are absolutely correct, I have no idea what it was like for you after my…his death. I am thankful my brother stayed and helped you with the twins, it’s what I would expect of my family.”
You look up at him and finally meet his gaze, “thank you for your apology Loki, I forgive you. I’ll see you tomorrow morning, we’ll talk more ok?”
“Yes. Until then.”
He turns and walks down the hall, you close the door again and get ready for bed. Anxious for what tomorrow is going to bring.

All eyes on us — Loki
Tumblr media
What are the odds that a prince such as Loki would even notice a low status princess from a dying nation?
What are the odds that a prince such as Loki would even bat an eye or start a conversation with you?
What are the odds that a prince such as Loki would come up to you after the ball.
And what are the odds that a prince such as Loki would invite you to stay the night with him?
Actually you had unbelievably amazing odds.
People and beings from all over the realms and galaxy often criticised Loki for dating such a low status princess but the god had fought and defended you time and time again. Until this day you still never understood why he chose you but he says to not question it too much.
At first people thought it was a ruse, a trick, a way to shock the public, hell even you bought into the rumours, alas Loki had proved his love for you over and over, professing it to the heavens high. Needless to say it was difficult not to fall for the charming prince who knelt to you and only you.
Even years after dating, no one could truly believe the prince’s choices, but he never once regretted or had a second thought about you…and soon enough the love between you grew
An Asgardian ball was to be held again and of course you were Loki’s date…
“Darling you look absolutely stunning in that dress”
You turned to you your charming prince by the frame of your door “I didn’t hear you come in…Were you trying to get a peek? But thank you my love”
He let out a chuckle at your comment “Well perhaps” teasing back with a wink.
He made his way towards you, placing his hands on your waist…then lifting his hand to your chin
“May I?”
“You may” You say with a smile and he pulled your lips to his. God you melted every time he kissed you
Pulling away, you wrapped your arm around him and you both made your way out to the ball
It was…magnificent to say the least
So many prince’s, princesses, guests and more, all dressed in the finest Asgardian collection the land had to offer.
Perhaps it was your own nervousness or your insecurities fuelling your mind…but its as if all eyes were on you…judging you
Your gripped tightened around Loki, signalling you weren’t comfortable
“Love are you ok?” He asked with a display of concern
“There’s…so many eyes…on you…on me” Your throat closed up as your anxiety started bubbling up
Loki took a peek around and you weren’t wrong.
There were some princesses passing whispers to one another, looking at you and laughing.
Turning around he saw a group of men pointing at you…that pissed him off
Another glance and he was met with the sight of his father talking to another royal family, specifically to a princess Odin wanted for Loki
He looked back at you and was met with his darling, shaking and panicked
“Honey look at me” He said with a stern tone
Immediately your eyes met his “Y-Yea?”
“If everyone is going to stare we might as well give them a show hm?”
“W-What?! Loki are you serious?! It’s obvious not many people like us together, or at least they don’t like me”
“So? I like you…Darling I love you…you really think I care for the opinions of others?”
“No? I just…hm…this is making me uncomfortable”
“Perhaps you would like to freshen up? Cool down? I wouldn’t want you to miss this ball” Loki has insisted
Giving it a thought it seemed like a good option…just a moment to breathe and then back out to this…nerve wrecking event
“Yea…I would like that” You smiled at him, your grip loosing up
Loki smiled and started to lead you back to your room when you were both stopped by the princess Odin had been talking to
“Ah! You must be Loki…Prince of Asgard? God of Mischief?” She asked
Loki responded to her and engaged in her conversation. It was awkward for you just standing there, so you slowly removed your arm from his and took a couple steps back
She was…gorgeous to say the least and it was clear she was trying to lead Loki to her…Was this it? Was Loki really going to leave you? You were just some low status princess…he was going to leave eventually
But as she moved her body closer to his and placed her hand by his jaw…you felt this rage erupt within you
You had no idea what came over…a confidence you couldn’t explain…but that simple action caused you to walk back to them and tugged harshly on Loki’s arm
“Love…I would really like that dance now” You smiled looking at Loki.
The princess was stunned.
Loki has smirked at you, proud and unintentionally turned on by your sudden confidence
Your hand travelled to his chest, forcing the woman to retract her arm and body. Your other hand rubbed up and down his arm…claiming him as yours
Soon Loki’s attention was all on you “Then let’s dance my darling”
Leaving the princess to her own defeat, Loki had led you to the middle of the floor and started dancing to the beat of the music
Your eyes fixed on him, Loki leaned into your ear “Suddenly my love has become so confident…were you jealous my darling?”
Biting back a chuckle you whispered in “I don’t like other people touching what’s mine”
Loki let out a laugh at your comment “Darling i’m yours just as much as you are mine…don’t forget that…”
You both kept the rhythm, matching each beat perfectly
“I must admit, seeing you gain a sudden confidence turned me on…you should be more like that…it’s good for you”
“Perhaps…although I would need some time to work on that”
Loki smiled and twirled you around as the song came to an end
Loud clapping had emerged from your graceful performance
“Darling look…all eyes are on us”
You looked around the room and they were…but now you knew they couldn’t do anything about the love you and Loki shared. No one could break the love between you both.
Loki then lead you back to your quarters and spent the night showing you just how much he loved you…

To Have and To Hold - Chapter 9 (Finale)
THaTH Masterlist Complete Masterlist
Summary: Loki and Violet finally get a chance to talk. The final conclusion to this series A/N: I wanna give a big thanks to everyone who has helped me with this series. I couldn't have survived without you! Pairing: Loki x OFC/Reader Word Count: 3278 Tags/Warnings: Fluff, light angst Dividers by: @firefly-graphics
Tumblr media
Loki sat by the soul forge, staring at the two babies in front of him. They had turned and hugged each other. Latching onto an arm or the other’s head, as if they were still inside the womb. Twins! He should’ve known. To his credit, he probably would have if you didn’t hide the fact that you were pregnant.
He heard his mother’s footsteps before he saw her in the dim light. She walked up behind him and placed her hands on his shoulders. “They’re beautiful, Loki.”
He reached for her hand and held it on his shoulder. “Thank you, Mother. I just hope they’ll be all right. Five months is too soon for them to be born.”
“A gestational period for any Jotunn is a lot shorter than an Asgardian, or a Midgardian, for that matter. It’s not all dire.”
“I somehow feel like it wouldn't have happened if Violet hadn’t traveled through the Bifrost. I don’t blame her, of course. She did it to save me.”
“I hope you don’t blame yourself for this,” she rebuked.
“Well, then who can I blame?”
“Do you need someone to blame?” She asked. Loki sighed, not wanting to argue with his mother. He rubbed his face with his hands, fatigue setting into his shoulders. How could he explain all he felt? All his fears at now having to be a father when neither of his fathers wanted him.
“I wanted you,” she expressed as if she could read his mind and answer his questions. “I saw you coming. And I had wanted nothing more than to hold you in my arms the moment I laid eyes on you.” Frigga cried as Loki looked up at her.
She held his face in between her hands. “Odin had brought you home, bundled up in burlap. Then Thor saw you. He was so excited. He had always wanted a brother. He was lonely, and he secretly wished for you.” Loki held his mother’s hands to his face as she gently placed her forehead to his. He nodded as tears fell down his cheeks in silent cries.
“You are wanted, my dear boy. And by no one more than the woman you have chosen. And pretty soon the two miracles in that forge.” Loki let out a sob and cried in his mother’s embrace. She comforted him as she always did whenever Loki came to her in pain.
“Why haven’t you told us about her, dear? About the situation? We could’ve helped you from the beginning.”
“It was one thing after another. We never got a chance to talk about it ourselves.” He answered, wiping his eyes. “This is the first time I’ve been in the same room with her in over two months.”
“Ah. Then perhaps I shall leave you two to reconnect,” Frigga said looking over his shoulder. Loki turned around to see you leaning against the threshold of the room, hiding patiently and not wanting to ruin the moment between him and his mother.
“Violet. You should be in bed. What are you doing up?” Loki said coming over to you.
“I was just…I couldn’t sleep. I needed to see them.” You explained. You wiped the tears off Loki’s cheek in silent recognition.
“Your body has just gone through something amazing and has departed with a piece of your soul. It is craving to be near them.” Frigga enlightened. “It misses them.” She held her hand out to yours, beckoning you closer.
“Can I- hold them?” you said in wonder as you watched your little miracles sleep inside the soul forge. They were loosely swaddled in green muslin, holding onto each other so tightly. “Are they warm enough?” They were so small and so fragile looking. You were afraid they would break if you even so much as breathed too hard on them.
“Why don’t you get in with them, darling? Lie down and maybe the forge can help you too,” Loki suggested. Without taking your eyes off the twins, you carefully got in and lay beside them. You put your arms protectively over them, cradling them gently.
Your body visibly relaxed. You let out a breath that you didn’t even know you were holding as you sunk into the plush cushion of the forge. Neither of you noticed Frigga walking out of the room, stealthily. Smiling to herself at the wonder Loki had made for himself.
“They’re beautiful, Loki!” you whispered.
“Just like their mother.” He said sitting on the opposite side of the forge facing you. Loki reached in and swiped the hair off your face. You had changed. Life alone had hardened you. You were no less beautiful. But you had a solemnity in you that Loki could see. “Why, Violet? Why did you run away?” he questioned softly.
You looked into his eyes. They were unguarded and in so much pain. “I- I honestly can’t even remember now, Loki. All I remember is the feeling of regret for having done so. It was so consuming that it outweighed why I left. Then I came across the napkin you had written.”
You took out the napkin, the one you always kept with you, from your pocket and showed it to him. It was wrinkled and almost see-through. The edges were nearly torn from all the time you had opened it to read it. “I couldn’t believe that you would still love me after I hid the fact that I was pregnant. So I ran.”
Loki conjured your letter. His note, too, looked weary and torn from all the times he’s tried to make sense of your logic. “I don’t understand. Why would you think you weren’t worthy? ‘You were meant to be with someone who can be your queen? Your equal?’” he read aloud. “Darling, I-”
“Loki. You were livid! When you found out I was pregnant you basically alluded to me being a social climbing schemer!” Loki looked contrite, laying his head down on the cushion.
“You will never know how sorry I am for the way I made you feel. If I have to spend the rest of my life making it up to you I will. I will, Violet. Just…I’m so sorry.”
“Then when I spoke with Thor, he reminded me that you were a prince. This wasn’t just about us anymore. It was about a whole kingdom. A different culture. There were different rules now. I didn’t realize…I mean I knew you were a prince. But to me, you were just…Loki. The man who gave me roses and who would sneak out to the back glades with me. The man who put his arm around me when I got cold. Or steal kisses from me when no one was looking.”
Loki smiled. You never once thought about his position and rank or what he could do for you. It was always just about him and you. The only one who ever saw him as Loki, not the god of mischief or the Prince of Asgard.
He grabbed hold of your hand and squeezed it while laying his lips on your fingers. “I promise, Violet. I will never take that for granted. I realized too late that, in my own self-absorbed world, you only ever saw me as me. Thank you for that.”
“Loki, I love you. I still love you…”
“I love you too, Violet.”
“…It hurt me to write that note. And to leave you. Looking back, I know I shouldn’t have left. I should’ve talked to you first. But I didn’t know how. You were so angry about the baby. And then Thor said that your father would take them away and at that moment, I made a split decision to just run. I didn’t know I wanted them until the thought of taking them away hurt more.”
“Vee, I’m sorry I wasn’t there to help you or support you.”
“And I’m sorry I ran away and hid the pregnancy from you.”
Loki laughed, “Imagine to my surprise that you were still pregnant when I found you. And with twins, no less.”
You smiled back, holding your tears from escaping. “What happens now?”
“I don’t know, darling. But I do know that I want to be a part of your life if you’ll still have me. And a part of their lives too.”
“Will Odin keep you here?” holding onto his hand tighter. You were afraid he would suddenly be taken away if you let go.
Just then, the doors swung open, Odin burst through the doors with a line of Einherjar soldiers behind him. Loki stood to shield you, blocking you and the babies from Odin’s view. Loki’s face was stoic and hard, trying to anticipate what his father could be doing.
“Stand down, my boy,” Odin said coming closer to the forge. “I only came to see my new grandchildren.” The warmth of his tone left Loki stunned. He did not show it, however, and stood in place refusing to budge.
You gathered your babes, closer to your chest. The small, fragile babes were easily secured in one arm, as your other arm covered them. “You will not take my children away from me!”
“Rest child. I will do no such thing. I merely wish to see them.” Odin reassured you again.
“Father, what exactly are you trying to see? The resemblance? Because I assure you they are every bit as mine as they are my own body. Just because they do not resemble a frost giant, doesn’t mean…”
“Of course, they don’t look like a frost giant. They haven’t seen one yet. Have you changed in front of them? Or perhaps they are still too young to see.” Odin hypothesized. “Have you given them names? Have you called them yet?”
“No. No, we haven’t discussed it yet.” You answered. A thoughtful hum escaped Odin’s lips as he nodded. “Wait. I’m confused. Thor said that you would take the children and raise them in your ways until they are of age. I mean, isn’t that what you did with Loki?” you asked holding onto Loki’s hand.
“Loki was found on the steps of a temple. He was smaller than the other frost giant newborns I happen to come across and realized that he was left there abandoned.” He turned to Loki and said, “I heard your mother’s voice in my head then. She would’ve never spoken to me again if she found out I had left a small infant alone to brave this harsh world by himself.
“So I took you with me. The moment you opened your eyes and saw me, you had changed. Your markings had disappeared. Your skin, your eyes- they mimicked my own. I knew right then that you were going to be a force to be reckoned with.”
“Have you gone soft, Odin? Where is all this sentiment coming from?” Loki provoked.
“Don’t try my patience, boy.” Odin turns to you and says, “Now, tell me all that has transpired, and we shall see what is to be the outcome.”
Tumblr media
Five months had passed, and you remained on Asgard with Loki and your new family. Part of the reason was that you were still healing, and Loki loathed to have you travel through the Bifrost in your condition.
You didn’t mind staying though. It was nice to have help and people to watch the kids from time to time. You doubted you could get that back home.
The other reason was that Loki wasn’t necessarily welcome back to Earth after the alleged attack on the air force base in France.
“Both Thor and I were there. So was Cal and Rhodey.” Bruce said through the holographic communication device. He and Thor had gone back to try and smooth things over with the United Nations and U.S. officials. “I know Rhodey might’ve been apprehensive, but facts are facts. Loki didn’t hurt anyone or do any harm. We were there to look for you because we thought you were in danger.”
“Thank you, Bruce.”
“No problem. It’s the truth. So, how are you getting along? How’s Vallen and Minerva?”
The thought of your twins brought a smile to your face. “Vallen is clingy. He is always holding onto his sister,” you laughed at how, even at his young age, Vallen is already protective of his sister.
“And Minerva looks just like her father. She prefers to be in Jotunn form, and I can only hold her temporarily before I need more protective clothing.” Of course, that means that she is always being held by Loki.
“Ah! So how is Loki?”
“He’s…” How would you describe him? The determination in his eyes when he wakes up in the morning, knowing he has a purpose in his father’s court made him look invincible. The smile he gets when he sees you and the babies after a long day in the high court was heart-warming. The nights you spent together reminiscing about old memories and reacquainting yourselves with each other were sensually and emotionally awakening. “…Happy. He’s happy.”
“Good. Listen, I’ll talk to you later. Tony wants to get started on making space for you and the babies when you return.”
“Thanks again, Bruce.”
“Hey, that’s what god-uncles are for.” He blushed and quickly disappeared from the holographic communicator.
“Are you leaving?” Loki’s voice echoed in the empty chamber. You turned quickly to find him leaning against the bedpost, a stunned look on his face.
“Loki! It was supposed to be a surprise.” You said walking up to him and wrapping your arms around his waist. His reluctance to hold you conveyed more than what he wanted to say.
“A surprise? Are you running again?” settling his hands on your arms. “Did I not spend enough time with you and the children? I knew I shouldn’t have agreed so quickly to father’s offer. I’m sorry Violet, please...”
“Loki! No! I’m not running! Not ever. Never away from you. And I would never take the kids away from their wonderful father.” You said kissing him on his lips.
“Then why?”
“I wanted us to have a home to go to when we were on Midgard. A place to call our own. I know the sanctions on your banishment haven’t been made clear yet, but when they do, I want us to have a safe place to be a family. It’s the least Tony could do after he reported the quinjet stolen. I mean honestly, so dramatic,” you scoffed, rolling your eyes at Tony’s actions.
“So you aren’t… going away?”
“No! And if I do, I’m taking you with me.” You said wrapping your arms around his neck and kissing him all over his face. “You, me…and the kids.” You corrected, laughing.
“Running alongside each other, forever.” He agreed. Forever. That was a word that had a different meaning for him and for your children. It could never be forever for you could it? You were only mortal. But Loki, and the children, had Jotunn blood. His immortality runs through their veins.
“Thank you,” Loki said shaking you from your spiraling thoughts. “For making a home for me…”
“For us!” you corrected.
“For us…wherever we may be,” he said kissing you passionately. He pulled your body closer to his and you melted right there in his arms.
“I have a surprise for you too.” He said coming out of the heated daze you two found yourself in.
“A surprise?” you said with a smile on your face, your worries all but forgotten.
“Yes, come on it’s out by the gardens.” He said grabbing hold of your hand.
“But the twins…”
“Are being watched by mother tonight and her ladies in waiting. They can’t get enough of them. Come. It’ll be like before- when we used to sneak out to hide our courtship.” Loki led you through the castle, hand-in-hand. Your soft giggles followed you through the hallways as servants bowed to both of you in your passing.
“Not so secret now, are we?” you laughed.
The jasmines were in bloom tonight. You could smell their sweet fragrance as you ran past them through the thicket of fruit trees. In the center was a blanket laid out with a large picnic basket. Books were stacked hurriedly in the corner as floating candles wafted by, giving the whole clearing an ethereal glow.
“Ta-da!” Loki exclaimed spreading out his arms.
“Loki! This is beautiful! It’s like…like…”
“Like the picnics behind the compound we used to have?” he finished your sentence. You walked towards the blanket, looking around at the floating candles of light. You were always amazed at Loki’s magic.
Turning back, you finally focused on him, with one knee on the ground. He smiled as he pulled a small velvet box from his pocket and opened it.
“Violet, will you make me the happiest man, in all the nine realms and be my wife?”
“Loki…” his question was a shock to you. You stared at the ring, an oval shard of different colors, set in a gold band. It shone so brightly, even under the darkening skies. “Loki is this what I think it is?” You looked into his eyes. You could see the sincerity and love in them.  
“It’s a piece of the Bifrost, faceted with diamonds around it. I wanted to give you a reminder, that wherever you are, my heart will always find you and take me to you.”
“Loki.” Your eyes spilled tears and small sobs began to wrack through your body. “You know that you don’t need to do this. I love you.”
“I love you too, Violet…don’t need to do what, exactly?”
“Get married.”
“But, we love each other. Is that not why we should be married?” He asked standing from his kneeling position on the ground.
“Yes, but…”
“Vee, stop it.” He commanded. You looked up into his eyes, tears staining your cheeks. “Stop overthinking this,” he charged.
“I don’t want you to feel obligated…”
“Obligated?”
“With the kids, Loki. You don’t need to do this just because we have kids?”
“How is it never easy with you?” He said throwing his hands in the air. “I love you, you frustrating woman!” he cried holding your face in between his hands. “I have loved you since I first laid eyes on you and I have never stopped.” His emotions overtook him and he kissed you zealously.
“I want late-night dances…” he paused his kiss to say. “…and early-morning trysts with you,” Loki murmured in between lips and tongue. You remembered those words so ardently. They were the same words he said when he confessed his love to you all those months ago. A lifetime and heartache ago.
“I want to be yours! Your friend. Your husband. Your god!” he growled holding you tighter. His lips found the soft spot right under your ear that made you a quivering mess. “And I want you to be mine. My queen…” he kissed your neck. “My goddess…” kissed your cheek. “My wife.” He said taking your lips.
“Marry me,” he said breathlessly. “Bind my life with yours.”
You cried. The overwhelming emotion and love you felt for this man would never let you turn him down. You would do anything and everything for him. “There’s nothing I want more than to be yours. In front of everyone. In front of the whole world.” You said, repeating the same answer you had given him all those months ago. Loki’s smile grew as he picked you up and twirled you around the haze of light and trees.
“To have and to hold,” he breathed, kissing you one more time.
“Forever.”

For Better or For Worse
Loki x female reader
Chapter 9 Epilogue Series masterlist
18+ | this fic contains angst, mentions of smut and adult themes.
Tumblr media
It had been a few days now of you and Loki spending time reconnecting; mostly in the bedroom, twice in the conservatory and once in the pantry. This morning you had both woken up in bed, the gentle sun shining into the room, illuminating the thin sheen of sweat that had accumulated on your skin only moments before. Lokis lips brushed against yours softly before he pulled away, stroking some of your hair out of your face as he smiled at you, eyes running over your features as if he was frightened of forgetting your face. You couldn’t deny how pleasure full and almost perfect the past few days had been but you couldn’t bite down that niggling feeling that was making its way through you.
“What’s the matter?” Loki asked, sensing something was wrong.
“We can’t keep doing this Loki.” You sighed.
“Doing what, this?” He asked, kissing your forehead.
“Cheating on your girlfriend with your ex wife.” You spoke, Loki stiffening slightly. As much as you didn’t like Rose, you still felt a little guilty.
“Who she almost killed.” Loki scoffed. “Come on, let’s just squeeze another round in before we’ve got to get up.” Loki grinned, making his way on top of you.
“Loki I’m being serious, I don’t like this. If you want to be with me, you’ve got to break up with her.” You insisted, looking up at him as he settled above you, balancing on his forearm.
“Fine, then that’s what I’ll do.” He answered, leaning down to kiss you.
“Really, you will?” You asked, breaking the kiss.
“I’ll break up with her and then we can go on holiday and fuck each other sorry all night” he smiled “you know, make up for lost time.” He continued, pausing when he saw your face fall. “What?”
“It’s just a little strange you know, talking about getting intimate with me and talking about your girlfriend in the same sentence” you explained “it makes me remember that before a couple of days ago, you were sharing her bed.” You finished, Loki laughing at your words. “What?”
“Rose and I were barely speaking let alone sleeping together.” He continued to chuckle knowing that he hadn’t actually penetrated her for over two weeks.
“Oh, I feel slightly better” you replied “although she did say—” you began, remembering her speech the other day.
“We did pleasure one another in other ways.” He interjected.
“And suddenly I feel nauseous again.” You spoke, faking a gag before Loki laughed, kissing you again.
“We were together because it was a good arrangement that benefited us both. It was a convenience unlike with you, with you, it’s stronger, it’s love.” He simpered, pecking your lips again. You deepened the kiss, pulling him closer against you. Loki had other words, words that he spoke between your thighs before you both got up and showered.
When you were both in the kitchen, preparing breakfast together, you came up with a plan. You took your phone out, booking flights to Paris for tomorrow and in the time until then, Loki was going to break up with Rose. Not having had time to explain to Thor that you and Loki had reconciled and that Loki was sorry for hating him for so long due to Odins lies, Thor was surprised to see you sitting on the countertop, Loki standing between your legs as your lips moved against each others.
Considering the holiday was last minute, you packed the bare essentials, deciding you’d just buy most of your stuff there. The tickets were open return meaning you didn’t know when you’d both be back but you had no responsibility at home, you could both stay in Paris for a year and it’d be fine. You helped Loki to pack, inspiring him to follow suit and pack lightly too, which he did.
Loki took his phone out, calling Rose and asking to meet with her tomorrow. Despite Loki not having the phone on speaker, you could practically hear Rose’s smile through the phone and it made you feel bad for her. Regardless of whether or not she was a bitch, it wasn’t her fault for getting tangled up in you and Lokis web.
The following morning, Loki god ready early, wanting to get his breakup with Rose out of the way.
“Right so you pack the rest of your things and be ready for me.” Loki spoke, kissing you goodbye.
“I’ve already told you, I’m not bringing anything else.” You giggled.
“Fine, fine, but don’t complain to me when you can’t find any of the things you want in Paris.” He shrugged.
“It’s Paris we’re talking about, they’ll have everything, besides, the only thing I want is you.”
Loki left, a spring in his step which was almost strange considering he was breaking up with his ex. He took his luggage with him, meeting Rose at a restaurant before leaving for the airport to meet you. You took your bag, putting it into the boot of the taxi before heading to the airport to wait for Loki. Once you arrived, the nerves began making themselves apparent, a sickening feeling settling in your stomach. You decided it was probably because of the impending flight as you waited for Loki. Half an hour passed and he still hadn’t arrived but you assumed he was stuck in traffic. Once he was an hour late, your smile faded a little as you got your phone out to ring him. You quickly pocketed your phone again as you spotted Loki walking towards you. Finally you exhaled. You stepped towards him, smile wide until it fell noticing that he no longer had his bag with him.
“Loki? Your bag?” You queried, brows knitting as you eyed his expression, skin pale as he took calming breaths. “What is it Loki?”
“It’s Rose.”
“Yeah?”
“She—she’s pregnant.” He admitted.
“O-oh.” You gulped, tears brimming in the corner of your eyes. You knew what this meant.
“I—” he began, taking a steadying breath.
“Can’t” you finished for him, Loki shaking his head in response. “but Loki” you murmured, knowing him, knowing that he wouldn’t just abandon his child.
“We’ve decided to try and give it another go, for the babies sake.” He sniffled slightly, thumb reaching out to wipe the tear that had fallen down your cheek before you took a step back. You looked up at him, lip trembling as you nodded. “But I don’t love her, I love you y/n. I’m so sorry.” He shook his head, grabbing one of your hands and bringing it to his lips.
“You’ve got another chance.” You tried to smile, more tears flowing now. This was breaking you. “You’ve got to take it. Take it Loki.” You nodded. You didn’t want to be the reason for a broken family and you didn’t want to be the reason Loki may never be a dad after remembering how elated he was when he first found out you were pregnant. Maybe this was the universe rewarding him. Why did it feel like it was at your expense?
“I’m so sorry.” He said again.
You wiped your tears before cupping his cheeks. “I want you to go back to her Loki, you’ll be the best dad” you said, fighting to keep your voice even “I want you to have the house, take it, raise your child in it Loki.”
“Y/n no, where will you go.” He protested.
“I’ve got a one way ticket to Paris.” You smiled sadly. “Goodbye Loki.” You blinked your tears away, unable to even listen to him say goodbye back before you sped away, heading for the departure gate, your flight was boarding. You cried as you got on, resting your head on the window. This was it, you felt truly and utterly shattered. Loki watched you leave, wiping his own tears. He wanted you, god he wanted you but he couldn’t abandon his child. He wouldn’t. Instead, head hung low, he made his way back home. Alone.
Arriving home, Loki rushed upstairs, he wanted to lay in the bed that still held your scent, still carried the memories of the days you had spent together. On his way, he spotted Rose’s shoes but he couldn’t see her. The closer he drew upstairs, he began hearing her voice but it was muffled, too far away to make out. He followed it, trudging closer before the voice became audible.
“He won’t even sleep with me. I need him to sleep with me this week so that the maths adds up. He needs to think this baby is his but he won’t even touch me since that bitch has been back.” Rose fumed causing Loki to gasp. The baby—it wasn’t his?
“Don’t speak of y/n in that way.” Thor scolded. Loki froze hearing his brothers voice.
“Gosh it’s like you boys worship her. How long was you fucking her?”
“Don’t be so uncouth, y/n and I have never.” Thor answered, Loki too shocked to react. He took a step backwards, the floor creaking beneath his foot.
“Did you hear that?” Rose asked “I better leave and shower before Loki gets back, hopefully I’ll be able to bed him tonight. Two Odinsons.” She winked, standing to her feet as Thor rolled his eyes.
Loki ran out of the house, throwing up on the lawn as he did so. He had lost you, for nothing. Rose cheated on him with Thor. He wasn’t going to be a dad. He was no one, he had nothing.

that’s basically the end bros 🥺🥺 wtf

Don't tempt me
Prompt: Don’t Tempt Me
Character: Loki
Loki sat on the bed in his cell reading a book.
Thor walked over and Loki groaned.
“What do you want Thor.”
“I brought someone to see you brother.”
“Stop calling me that. We are not brothers.”
“Not yet anyway.” a female voice chimed in.
Loki’s eyes went wide.
“Don’t look at me like that my darling. I begged Thor to help me come see you.”
Thor nodded. “It took a lot of convincing but she said she needed to talk to you.”
“If Odin finds out...”
“Loki my love don’t worry.” She smiled and walked up to the cell wall. “Odin is busy chasing a make believe monster that I conjured up with magic.”
Loki smiled.
“You know once he finds out, he will ask about it.”
“Don’t worry Thor. I will think of something. Now I would like to speak to Loki alone.”
Thor nodded and walked away.
Loki turned his head to follow Thor making sure he was in fact leaving.
He turned back and smiled when (Y/n) dropped her guard.
“You look beautiful.”
“Loki, we need to tell everyone that we are married.”
“My dear you know Odin will get upset if we do.”
“I know but I can’t hide this anymore.”
Loki smiled when he noticed where her hand was.
“You look ravishing carrying our child.”
“Don’t tempt me Loki.”
He smiled. “Hormones?”
“You have no idea.”
“If you want to tell them that’s fine.”
“Mother knew.”
“Yes well that’s mother. She knows everything.”
“She’ll stand with me to get you out of this cell.”
“I knew she would.”
“She’s seen the change in you. So has Thor.”
“Will he stand with us?”
“He already has.”
“Then I will no doubt see you in our room later my queen.”
“Of course my king.”

Loki x Reader Mafia AU
When Tony Stark's little sister wakes up deep in enemy territory she assumes her life is over. She'll be killed or worse: used as a bargaining chip against her estranged brother. What happens when the mafia leader, Loki Laufeyson, offers her a deal she can't refuse? No sentiment. Only revenge. What happens when the truth is revealed? Will she betray her only family or betray the man she loves to hate? Little Sparrow is an enemies to lover's fic riddled with betrayal and spice!
Tumblr media
“Why are you letting me go?” I asked the young boy standing in front of me.
“You don’t deserve this,” he replied, tossing the chains aside as he helped me stand. “Come with me.” He held out his hand and I took it, letting him lead me out of the compound.
He led us to a house through some woods behind the compound, promising me we’d be safe there.
“My father doesn’t know about this place. Thor bought it for me when dad sometimes got really drunk and we needed somewhere to hide.”
I didn’t know what to say but thankfully he didn’t seem to mind. He tucked me in the small bed, pulling the covers up to my chin. He reached for the lamp on the nightstand but I stopped him.
“Can you leave the lights on.”
He smiled, though it didn’t meet his eyes. “Of course, little one.”
I jolted awake, breathing heavily as I took in the surrounding room and the throbbing pain in my head.
“Hey, darling,” Loki said softly, gently guiding back to the bed. “Lay back down. It’s alright.” He pressed his lips to my hair as he pulled the covers up to my chin. “Just rest. It’s alright.”
“W-where’s Odin?”
“Gone, darling. He won’t hurt you. I’m so sorry.” Something wet dripped onto my cheek and I looked up, finding tears streaming down his cheeks. I carefully wiped them as my mind clouded with memories.
“My name’s Loki.”
“Y/n.”
My eyes widened.
“You can’t tell anyone about this, Y/n. When they ask how you escape you just tell them you ran away, alright?”
“Why can’t I tell the truth?”
“You just can’t. If my father finds out the Avengers know I helped you… it makes us look weak.”
“I won’t tell anyone.”
Loki was looking at me, waiting for me to say something but my throat felt dry and no words were coming out as I sat back up.
“Darling, what is it? Should I get the healer?”
I shook my head. “Does your father know?” I hissed. “Does everyone know except me?”
“Darling… what are you talking about?”
“It was me… wasn’t it?”
He said nothing.
“Wasn’t it?!” I yelled, pushing him away from me. “Is that what this is? You feel sorry for me? Like I’m that little girl again? Well, I’m not!”
“No! That’s not it! I knew you didn’t remember and I… I wanted to find out why.”
“Why does it matter to you? Why do you care?” Tears filled my eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me?”
He dragged a hand across his face, inhaling deeply. “I wanted you to remember on your own.”
“That only answers one question, Laufeyson,” I hissed. “Why make this deal with me? Why save me in the first place?”
“Because you didn’t deserve what Odin had planned for you… and I made the deal with you because I wanted to see if what I felt was real… or if it was just because I saw you as someone I could protect.”
“And?”
He finally turned to face me.
“I don’t know anymore. It wasn’t supposed to be this way. This was just supposed to be a mutually beneficial deal.”
“And what is it now?”
He sighed. “You can’t tell me you don’t feel it too.”
“I feel nothing,” I lied. “All this time I thought I was going crazy. Everything about this place seemed familiar but I thought I was losing it. All this time you’ve been hiding who you really are. Why not just tell me when you found me?”
“I wanted you to remember on your own.”
I scoffed. “Funny that it took getting slapped by your father for me to remember.”
He sat on the bed next to me. “I never wanted that to happen.” He moved his hand to my cheek. “You weren’t supposed to get hurt.”
I removed his hand. “Yeah, well I did,” I spat.
My heart clenched as I looked up at him, finding tears in his eyes, and the guilt slowly started to seep in.
“Are you going to hurt me?”
“Darling, no.” He shook his head, lifting his hand, but he stopped, his hand hanging in midair. “May I?”
I nodded and he returned his hand to my cheek, gently wiping away my tears. “This isn’t how I wanted you to find out.”
My eyes widened as it finally occurred to me. “The little girl you said you saved…”
He nodded.
“You took a beating for me.”
“Darling, I would take any beating for you.”
“Don’t say that.”
He smiled softly, bringing his lips to my forehead. “I mean it,” he murmured. “What Odin did was nothing compared to the pain I would’ve felt if he’d hurt you… the pain I felt when I saw you lying on the ground after he hit you.” He pushed a strand of hair behind my ear. “I’m sorry I let that happen. I failed you, darling.” 
I shook my head, pushing the blankets off my legs and sitting up on my knees. I wrapped my arms around his neck and I felt his hands move around my waist.
“Darling… as amazing as this feels… you need to rest.”
“Then lay with me.”
He pulled away slightly, resting his forehead against mine. “You’re not still angry with me?”
“Oh, I’m seething,” I smirked. “But I find that the best cure for anger is cuddles.”
“Couldn’t agree more.”
He climbed into the bed next to me, being careful not to hurt me as he pulled the blankets over us and I buried my face against his chest.
It wasn’t long before I began to fall asleep, my eyes growing heavy as I listened to the sound of his breathing.
“I think I’m falling in love with you,” he murmured, kissing my forehead as sleep finally claimed me.

Ruby’s and Ozpin’s Mythology Allusions and How to Flip the Script on Ragnarok
Ever since Volume 6, I’ve talked quite a bit about how the possible allusions that a number of RWBY characters could have to Norse Mythology. Mostly how I think Ruby Rose herself has surprisingly quite a bit in common with Odin, and particularly how I think Ruby in many respects makes a far BETTER Odin than Ozpin does. Basically, I think the only thing Ruby needs to be a full-blown proper literary allusion to Odin is an eyepatch.
And of course, Ruby’s not the only one: We’ve got the more-well known cases like Nora being an allusion to Thor, Qrow and Raven being Odin’s ravens Huginn and Muninn and Ozpin having a few nods to Odin, even if I think Ruby ultimately has more in common with Odin. Then there is less obvious examples like how Yang’s missing arm and being her team’s most upfront fighter could make her a reference to Tyr. Or how Cinder’s fire powers, use of flaming swords and ties to Salem’s doomsday plot could make her a nod to Surtr. And I think we can all agree Neo could make for a perfect allusion to Loki.
However, there is one prominent Norse deity that has really stumped me for a while now. Not because I feel he HAS to be included somehow, but because one RWBY character has connections to them that throws a lot of theories into question.
Tumblr media
Specifically, I am referring to Baldr. And here’s why the absolute golden boy of Norse Mythology has had me so stumped:
You see, Baldr is the son of Odin and is a god of light and beauty and purity and general goodness and is basically beloved by all the Norse gods. He’s also invulnerable to harm from all things except mistletoe, which of course he manages to get killed by. Specifically thanks to Loki being his customary chaotic little shit.
Tumblr media
However, Baldr also doesn’t STAY dead. He’s supposed to be resurrected after Ragnarok when all the older gods, giants and monsters (Odin, Thor, Heimdall, Tyr, Loki, etc.) have been slain. From there he leads the other survivors of Ragnarok, mostly the other children of those other gods like Thor’s sons Magni and Modi, as well as surviving humans, into the new world that comes after Ragnarok.
Now, does quite a bit of all that sound a LOT like one RWBY character in particular? Friendly, nurturing, beloved by all their friends and family. Leads the new generation after the previous generation has fallen. Heavily associated with LIGHT?
Tumblr media
Yeah, as far as I could tell for a while, the best candidate for a Baldr allusion among RWBY’s main cast is Ruby herself. You know, the one who ALSO happens to have a lot in common with Odin?
Needless to say, this question of whether Ruby is an Odin allusion or a Baldr allusion left me rather stumped for a pretty long time now. After all, it’s just a bit hard for Ruby to be an allusion to BOTH. But recently, I think I may have finally come up with a way of rectifying all this. And it’s definitely one of the weirder theories I’ve come up with…
Because I now think there is another RWBY character that fits a lot of Baldr’s characteristics. Someone who was a very well-liked and respected leader (in his time), was very optimistic, is heavily associated with light, and unlike Ruby, HAS come back to life after being killed. A bunch of times actually.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, I’m talking about Ozma.
Specifically building off the reverence/respect/loyalty his followers show him (at least at the start of the show), the fact that he’s effectively an agent for the God of Light and how he’s been resurrected.
And you know how RWBY always takes its folklore/fairy tale/literary allusions and turns them around, flips the script or otherwise don’t play the narrative straight?
Tumblr media
Well, I now have a feeling that Ruby and Oz represent a role-reversed Odin and Baldr!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ruby is effectively an Odin in the position of Baldr with many of his positive qualities, specifically a young leader of the next generation after the old guard has failed. And Oz is a Baldr in the position of Odin with many of his negative qualities, specifically an old, weary leader whose obsession with forestalling the end of the world has driven everyone away from him.
Tumblr media
With Oz, we basically have a subversive, deconstructionist take on Baldr that shows how his whole destined chosen-one status could crush even the most idealistic heroes. And on the flipside with Ruby, we have a subversive, reconstructionist take on Odin that shows how they can be a genuine heroic figure and leader who can lead their family and friends to save the world.
This also neatly explains why not just Ozpin, but all of the Oz’s seem to be missing a lot of the typically key elements of Odin, like a hooded robe/cape, a tall staff or spear or especially an eyepatch. I mean, the fact that Ruby pulls off the ‘Mysterious Hooded Figure’ look a bunch of times alone makes her a better Odin than Oz.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Going back to Oz, consider how Ozma is revered and remembered as this great, flawless hero in his own time and recounted in ‘The Girl in the Tower’, who also happens to die tragically, a death which sets off a series of domino’s that leads to a great battle that causes the end of the world. And then he is resurrected into the new world that came after in order to fulfill a ‘great purpose’ and lead/save the new humanity.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Really, looking at Oz’s life from the start, his story really starts feeling like some twisted version of Baldr’s, where him dying and being resurrected after Ragnarok is only the START of his story. Where his being some prophesied leader/savoir figure was a role effectively forced upon him, and has now effectively crushed him. Even the way Oz constantly reincarnates could be considered a twisted version of Baldr’s resurrection: No matter what happens, Baldr/Oz just can’t seem to die.
And of course, this would create an all too effective contrast with Ruby being an allusion to Odin and basically flip the whole concept of the Norse Ragnarok narrative on its head: The whole point of Ragnarok is that it can’t be stopped, no matter how much Odin with all his cleverness, guile, trickery and knowledge struggles to prevent it. In that sense, we can consider Odin as representing the futile struggle against one’s Fate, while Baldr represents an acceptance of Fate.
Which means that Ruby representing Odin and Oz representing Baldr completely flips this idea: Oz’s ‘acceptance’ of Fate represents cynical defeatism and assumption that Salem cannot be stopped and that the Gods cannot be allowed to return because they too cannot be stopped. While Ruby’s defiance of Fate represents optimistic determination and a refusal to submit or give up.
If Oz is a deconstruction of Baldr, then Ruby is a reconstruction of Odin.
Consider how many times Ruby has achieved victory through cleverness and outwitting her opponents: Disposing of Neo at the Battle of Beacon, incapacitating Tyrian with a sneak attack, manipulating Cordovin to get a killing shot, exploiting the Lamp’s effect of freezing time to use her Silver Eyes, manipulating Harriet by needling her competitive streak, tricking Ironwood with the help of JNPR and Emerald, disposing of Neo again during the battle in the void, the list goes on.
Also consider how Ruby is both the first to be shown using the Lamp of Knowledge and the Staff of Creation. And how a major aspect of Ruby’s character is the pursuit of answers that her parents, mentors and leaders have either hidden from her or don’t even know themselves. In other words, a quest for Knowledge.
And then of course there are the numerous symbolic references Ruby has to Death just like all Silver Eyed Warriors. Just like Odin is a God of Death.
Odin is a clever trickster who wanders the world in a mysterious hooded cloak with a tall spearstaff often on a quest for knowledge and answers. Mostly in a doggedly determined quest to avert an end of the world that others have called inevitable. A so-called fate that Odin defiantly refuses to accept.
Tumblr media
Like I’ve said before; at this point I think the only thing Ruby’s missing is an eyepatch.

"I'm gonna burn this place to the ground." idk about you but to me that sounds like a good prompt for pre-dating idiots 👀
lol remember when the first trailer came out and we collectively lost our shit when loki said this?? aw. simpler times :’)
consider this the next part of pre-dating idiots!! woo!! pls be nice to me it’s been years
warnings: ooc?? I haven’t written for him in two (?) years?? injuries, pain, angst, the usual.
They’re both victims of the same incompetence, in all honesty.
A father who lied to them both, and a mother...
She was complicit.
Thor hates admitting it. Loki can’t decide if it makes things better or worse.
Thor needs to go see him. He knows it’s what needs to be done, and will have to happen eventually, but every time he approaches room 203, he just keeps walking and promises to do it tomorrow.
They have...too much to discuss. It’s intimidating.
Thor finds it too easy to use Loki’s necessary healing as an excuse not to disturb him.
You’re the one who finally make him do it, open the door and actually talk to him.
You’re on a business trip—managing some project on international relations following the attack on New York, from what he gathers—and won’t be back for about a month.
“Don’t let him ruin his progress,” you told him the day you left. “Please.”
At that, Thor dredged up enough conscience to feel bad for letting you think he’s been visiting Loki every other day.
You’re proud of him. It’s a good feeling.
He doesn’t want to lose it.
So he smiled and promised to keep his brother company, keep him smiling and healing and that he’ll be in even better shape when you return.
You’ll be back in a week and a half now, and he has yet to cross the threshold.
It’s only after Cap, Tony, and the others come to a decision with the local authorities and task him with breaking the news to Loki that he finally goes to him.
Even still, he doesn’t know where to start.
Loki is on his stomach when Thor walks in, still bedridden and bleeding with exhaustion in his gaunt eyes when he meets his gaze from the doorway.
“Come to gloat?”
His voice is hoarse—missing the tease, the careless grin and sly plot that used to tinge his words. It makes Thor bare his teeth in a slight grimace, wanting to be angry with him, fingers curled tight around the handle of mjolnir.
“I’ve come to...talk.” He clears his throat and takes the first shaky step towards the hospital bed. “We have much to discuss.”
“Well, consider me intrigued.” Loki’s lips curl into a cruel smirk, even smushed into his pillow. “What could we possibly have to talk about?”
“Stop that,” Thor snarls, taking a few more sudden steps towards him. “Now isn’t the time for–for...for you.”
“Ah. In that case, please, pull up a chair.”
He does, glancing around the room. It’s drab, with just one window and a hint of sunlight peeking through the closed blinds. An untouched tray of food sits on the bedside table.
They sit there in silence for too long before Thor speaks.
“You’re a frost giant.”
Loki just gives a hollow laugh. “That’s where you’d like to begin?”
“He lied to me, too,” Thor says. “I thought you were my—I thought you were Asgardian. My whole life.”
“That must have been difficult for you.”
“I—I knew you were different,” he pushes on, electing to ignore that jab, “I could see that, but you...”
“You trusted Odin completely, didn’t you?”
Thor nods slowly. “He’s my father. I...still do.”
At that, his brother turns his head to stare at the wall instead of him. He cut his hair. It’s choppy against his neck—Loki couldn’t have done it himself, not with his shoulder in that state and still in a sling.
“Odin,” comes Loki’s hiss, “raised us to hunt frost giants.”
Thor straightens in his seat, frowning at the back of his brothers head. “He raised us to be warriors, wary of likely enemies.”
“He raised us to kill. He gave you the power to destroy their entire realm.” His head flips over on the pillow to reveal painfully bloodshot eyes, and he shoves a finger at the hammer in Thor’s hands. “Don’t tell me that was benevolence. He took their lifeforce, held a threat over their heads, and called it peace.”
Swallowing thickly, Thor’s gaze drops to the hammer. His next words are out before he can think better of them.
“And yet I wasn’t the one who tried to destroy their realm.”
Loki falls silent again, gaze burning into Thor’s, glistening, his jaw clenched tight. A vein near his temple bulges, and Thor wishes he could take it back. Wishes Loki hadn’t begged him to fight him, hadn’t let go all those months ago.
“Leave,” Loki chokes.
Thor clears his throat. “I came to tell you that the council has come to a decision on your sentence.”
“Leave,” Loki just says again, gathering the sheets in a shaking fist. “Get out.”
“Stark and the Captain spoke with Midgardian authorities, and they decided you must serve a sentence here before being turned over to Asgard.”
“Just passing me around, are you—”
“You broke the law,” Thor grits out, rising to his feet. “You killed people, you destroyed buildings, you tried to destroy an entire realm—”
“And I killed my true father,” Loki hisses, trying to push himself up on the hospital bed. “I abducted Clint Barton and made him kill for me. I let Jotuns into our palace on your coronation day, knowing they craved blood. I lied to Frigga, I stole the throne, I committed treason, I—”
“Then you see what must be done,” Thor cries, flinging a hand towards him. “You know you’re unstable, you need—you need help!”
“I wake up every single day,” he spits, heaving himself into a sitting position, “disappointed that I’m still breathing. I’ve tried to end it, I’ve tried it myself, I’ve even brought that–that mortal into it, and she couldn’t even kill me.”
“Oh, that’s an entirely different discussion—”
“So what is it?” Hunched forward with his arms hugging his knees, Loki stares at him. Those eyes are empty—Thor hoped to at least see pain in them. “What is my punishment? Am I to be executed, or are we saving that special event for Odin and Frigga?”
“Don’t,” Thor growls. His fist tightens around mjolnir. “They still protected you and raised you as their own. You owe them that much.”
Loki gives a hollow, rattling laugh. “Odin raised me like a prize boar for slaughter. He told me. He wanted to use me to unite our realms. I’m no better than the last empty treaty he wrote.”
“He spoke of us as equals,” Thor quietly argues. “Weren’t you happy? As a child? We...we had fun. I know we did.”
Loki swallows thickly, casting his gaze towards the ceiling.
I know we did. The two of them were inseparable, through every phase of their life. Thor’s friends were Loki’s, and the merry little group had centuries of adventures, victories, parties they shared with him. Frigga and Odin had loved the two of them as their sons, as their sons equally. He knows it.
“Can you even fathom your reality being a lie?”
Thor blinks, wishing Loki would look at him.
“No,” Loki laughs softly, “you can’t.”
Thor stands abruptly, knocking his chair over in the process. “You’ll lead a life of misery and disappointment,” he says, “if you keep thinking the worst of everyone. Especially yourself.”
Loki laughs again—it’s missing all humor. “Oh, fuck off.”
“Fine.” Thor stiffens, his jaw clenched painfully. “On behalf of Midgardian officials, you are sentenced to five years imprisonment and full responsibility for damages caused by your insurrection. After those years, you will return to Asgard with me for your trial.”
“Lovely. Looking forward to it.”
That’s the final straw—that, and how Loki closes his eyes and relaxes back onto his pillow, seemingly unbothered.
Thor surges forward with a snarl and grabs Loki by the shoulders, shoving him back against the pillows.
“You could at least pretend to regret this,” he seethes, giving his brother a good shake. “If you even gave our father half of an apology, an explanation, we could move past this.”
Eyes wide but jaw firmly set, Loki struggles against him, trying to wrench his injured arm from Thor’s grip. “Oh, please,” he grunts, “it’s been nearly a year since I came back from the dead. Neither of my so-called parents have expressed the slightest interest in seeing me.”
Thor’s grip tightens—Loki grits his teeth, biting back a whimper of pain as his fingertips dig into a barely scabbed wound.
“I wanted to apologize to you,” Thor admits, his chest heaving with the effort of holding Loki pinned. “But I don’t know if you even want that. Or deserve it.”
“Let go of me.”
He doesn’t.
Still writhing, Loki’s lips curl back, and he throws his head forward, bracing for the inevitable pain. His forehead hits Thor’s chin with a loud crack, and Thor staggers back with a shout—Loki’s not in much better shape, blinking rapidly to clear the spots that blur his vision.
“Five years,” Loki hisses, “is nothing to you and I.”
“Your true punishment will be from Asgard,” Thor replies harshly, a hand to his jaw as he stumbles towards the door. “Don’t get too comfortable.”
“Well, when we go home,” Loki spits, his hands shaking, “Maybe I’ll burn that place to the ground.”

Valkyrie!Sigyn just makes so much sense!
Okay, now @jonquilclegane has really got me thinking heavily on Sigyn’s backstory in Norse Mythology as being a Valkyrie with their post (x) and honestly, the more I think about it, the more it just makes SO MUCH SENSE!
FACTS ON VALKYRIE THAT WE KNOW (x):
Valkyrie, in Norse Mythology, are mortal human women born of mortal human parents. It is not their origin, but their service to Odin, that bestows on the Valkyries certain supernatural powers.
Valkyries also have the ability to travel between the realms of living mortals on Midgard and Odin’s hall in Valhalla, carrying dead warriors from Midgard’s battlefields to Valhalla. And the Valkyries serve these dead heroes their drinks in the evening in Valhalla as well. ‘Valkyrie’, then, is a job rather than a species. But it’s a job with special perks.
It is not clear what is involved in a Valkyrie’s ‘hiring’, Brynhild’s story clearly reveals that a Valkyrie can be ‘fired’ for a cause. In her case, the ’cause’ of her firing is that she made the wrong king die in a battle, which meant that Odin did not get the man he wanted for Valhalla.
Based on some other stories, it also seems that getting married means a woman must quit her position as Valkyrie. And a marriage might even be used as a punishment for a disobedient Valkyrie, which is another part of the retribution against Brynhild in the Volsungs legends.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Imagine Valkyrie!Sigyn:
We don’t know her origins or backstory, so what if the reason for this is because she was a mortal human woman who became a Valkyrie in service to Odin who forgot her old life before her service? 
What if she got her name, “Sigyn” (Victory Woman/Victory Bringer), for how victorious she was as a Valkyrie, picking the right warriors for Valhalla and helping them with their purpose?
What if Sigyn got ‘fired’, and Odin decided to arrange a marriage between her and Loki as a punishment for something she did, but instead, it worked out in HER favor because she was going to “quit” and give it all away to be with the one she loved anyway. Come Hel or high-water, Sigyn would take the consequences just to be with Loki. She knew what she was signing up for. 
Hence, this would explain that not only is Loki getting punished during Ragnarok for the part he played in Balder’s murder, but Sigyn is ALSO getting punished for disobeying Odin and leaving her role as one of his Valkyrie behind in order to be with Loki by having her husband bound to a rock, suffering the burns of snake venom and her kids hurt/killed. This just makes their story ALL THE MORE TRAGIC, but their love for each other SO MUCH STRONGER. This makes Sigyn’s role as the loyal wife, choosing to stay by her husband’s side for eternity and hold a bowl to shield him ALL THAT MORE CLEAR. 
It brings me back to the point again that Sigyn knew what she was signing up for; She knew how chaotic Loki was, but chose to love him and remain by his side. She knew that her marriage to Loki would be used as a punishment against her for turning away as a Valkyrie, hence the very god she worked for bound her husband to a rock and pitted her kids against each other, having one’s entrails become the chains for her husband. However, Sigyn remained strong despite it all, CHOOSING to hold a bowl and protect her husband for eternity until one day he can  finally break free from his chains, face Odin and the other gods during Ragnarok, and give them all their judgement day at last. 
So...this means the fate of Ragnarok is all in Sigyn’s hands and it all starts with her love for Loki. Talk about being a Victory Bringer. *mic drop*
BONUS:
And when you think about what Odin also did to Loki’s other children who would technically be Sigyn’s adoptive kids (Fenrir, Jormungandr, and Hel,) by locking them up and taking them away from Loki, it only drives this home further.

Frostshield: a Loki/Steve Rogers rec list
Some of my favorite fics from a very a fun "opposites attract" ship.
The Devil and the Wild Man by Effing (@effingunicorns) (Mature, 11,343 words)
Summary: Steve's dinosaur keeps Loki in line on Sakaar. This is not a euphemism, but it is also 100% a euphemism.
Also available as a podfic read by Tipsy_Kitty (@tipsyxkitty)
Madness by ScotlandEvander (@scotlandevanderr) (Teen And Up Audiences, 19,355 words)
Summary: Time makes a deal and when Time makes a deal, it plays out till it is fulfilled. Steve Rogers is learning this the hard way and he’s quite sure it’ll end in madness.
Ball and Chain (of Fools) by Ebyru (Explicit, 38,022 words)
Summary: Steve is dead-set on making the Avengers and everyone surrounding get along now that they're living in the Avengers tower. If he finds happiness in the end because of it, that’s just a perk. Or more to the point: A bunch of times people throw themselves at Steve with no intention of dating him, and one time someone likes him enough to never want to let go.
Also available as a podfic read by RsCreighton (@rosecreighton)
More under the cut!
and I may never see the light by Effing (@effingunicorns) (Explicit, 8,111 words)
Summary: Steve is a monster hunter who's sort of but not really sleeping with the vampire next door. And then things get hairy. (Because every ship deserves more trashy monster AUs.)
Catfish by heeroluva (Teen And Up Audiences, 1,238 words)
Summary: Loki finds something unexpected in the ice. (The Frost Giants learned from their mistakes. There was no war with Asgard. Loki was never taken by Odin. The Chitauri are defeated with the aid of Frost Giants.)
Strange Love by danveresque (@danveresque) (Teen And Up Audiences, 12,021 words)
Summary: It starts with a simple taunt.
So… you got impersonated by aphrodaisyacs (@aphrodaisyacs) (General Audiences, 4,596 words)
Summary: Steve was torn between praying for the ground to swallow him, and interrupting them to ask Peter just where he first saw those videos. Because as much as they felt like the cheesy propaganda movies he was forced to be a part of back in the war, the man on the screen, who looked and even sounded exactly like him… “That’s not me. I don’t remember recording any of these.” Or: The one where the Avengers find out that PSA Captain America from Homecoming is actually someone completely different. Part 1 of Mischief Managed
One For the Cameras by aphrodaisyacs (@aphrodaisyacs) (Teen And Up Audiences, 15,286 words)
Summary: After the stunt they pulled at the party, Tony has taken to referring to Loki and Steve as “clone boyfriends”, a nickname which rapidly morphed into an inside joke amongst the Avengers. It’s all fun and games until it gets overheard by a clueless reporter- now the public believes that Steve and Loki are genuinely an item. Chaos ensues. Or: The one where Steve and Loki get mistaken for a couple, but they go along with it to make homophobes mad. Part 2 of Mischief Managed
Ghosts That We Knew by Lise (@veliseraptor) (Teen And Up Audiences, 13,253 words)
Summary: May 4th, 2012: an alien comes to Earth warning of an impending invasion. Earth's Mightiest Heroes are there to stop it. In the months after, Steve notices something weird going on with Loki.
Lines In Sand; Lines In Stone by BigSciencyBrain (@bigsciencybrain) (Explicit, 211,078 words)
Summary: A split-second decision changes the course of Steve's life and both he and Loki are hit by a sex spell. The Avengers race to save them, but grappling with magic turns out to be harder than any of them imagined and defeating the spell is only the beginning. As Steve and Loki navigate the consequences, they form a genuine bond that develops into a complicated relationship. (There's a lot of angsting and talking about consent/sexuality. And Loki gets adopted by a mythological creature.)
A Place to Put My Heartache (Across Six Christmases) by BigSciencyBrain (@bigsciencybrain) (Mature, 77,838 words)
Summary: Steve's still trying to find his place in this world. Accidentally saving Loki's life doesn't help. But maybe there's a place for both of them, together.
In The Realm of Ungrateful Cockroaches by BigSciencyBrain (@bigsciencybrain) (Mature, 36,265 words)
Summary: Instead of returning to Asgard after the battle of New York, Loki finds himself in a time loop, repeating the events of the Avengers over and over again.
The lines, here are written by dfotw (Teen And Up Audiences, 18,009 words)
Summary: In a world where everyone has their soulmate's name written on their wrists, Steve Rogers has quite a lot more... and Loki, a lot less. (follows canon faithfully except for, y'know, the trope.)

Requesting a crack scenario please (✯◡✯). So imagine Reader and ROR character are married and they have a lovely son and daughter. One day, their children approach their grandpa Adam/Odin/uncle Zeus/aunt Aphrodite and would cry to them saying that their papa is hurting their mama. However it was all just the kids misunderstanding things because one day they saw their mother exit the bedroom with bite marks, hickey (which the kids thought was a bruise), and couldn’t walk properly if you get my drift (¬‿¬).
Humans - Kojiro, Lu Bu, Jack
Gods - Poseidon, Hercules, Hades, Thor, Loki.
-Your darling daughter and handsome son ran into the kitchen from the backyard, their arms going around your legs, “‘Mama-mama!!’” you smiled, moving the mixing bowl off to the side so it wouldn’t get knocked over and you bent down, pecking both of their foreheads, greeting them.
-They greeted you back with kisses of their own as you grabbed them each a banana, peeling it, “Where have you two been?”
-Your son lifted his hand, like when he was in class, “We went to see (Parental Figure)!” you turned, a bit confused, “Oh- why did you two do that if you don’t mind me asking?”
-Usually, when they went off to see (Parental Figure), it was so prepare a surprise for you, like for Mother’s Day, wanting to prepare their own gift for you.
-Your daughter then spoke up, “We tattled!” you turned, even more confused, “Tattled? Who did you tattle on?” they both beamed brightly, speaking in unison again, “‘Daddy!’”
-You blinked, coming over to pet their hair, “Why did you tattle on daddy?” you weren’t prepared for them to turn, giving you puppy dog eyes as your daughter spoke, “Because daddy hurt you!”
-You kneeled, concerned, trying to keep them calm, “Hurt me? Daddy’s never hurt me.” Your son sniffled deeply, trying not to cry, “But you were limping the other day, and we saw bruises and bite marks on your neck!”
-You turned white in shock, freezing as your face turned bright red, you couldn’t explain what you were doing with daddy without scarring your children.
-You smiled gently, consoling them both, “Thank you for tattling on daddy for me, but next time, come to me first. Some things you don’t tattle to others about.”
-Your son beamed, “Because mama’s the boss right?” you giggled softly, “Yup, mama’s the boss.”
-(Love) came in, curious as to why you were talking about who’s the boss and went to speak before a knock came at the door. Instantly your kids covered their mouths, “Ooh~ you’re in trouble~”
-He was confused and went to the door.
-He was not expecting to find Adam there, surrounded by pure fury, black flames surrounding him, “How dare you- how dare you attack my daughter in such a way?!” (Love) was instantly running, trying to figure out what he did, trying to flee from the very furious Adam. It took almost twenty minutes to pull Adam away, after he chased your husband up a tree, and with a bright red face you apologized to him, embarrassed that he was bothered in such a way. Adam pecked you and each of your kids on the cheek before sending a glare to (Love), silently threatening him to be more careful with you. (Love) was not overly pleased to be in trouble, pouting that he got tattled on, but at least you thought it was funny.
            -Kojiro, Lu Bu, and Jack
-He was not expected to be greeted by Zeus who was laughing so hard he couldn’t breathe, holding onto the doorframe while Aphrodite looked exasperated, holding her cheek. She explained what your children told the two of them, telling Zeus first, but when he started laughing and couldn’t stop, they went to Aphrodite. She explained, without giving too many ‘certain’ details, that sometimes adults don’t know when they’re playing too rough and (Love) didn’t mean to hurt you. The kids were pleased with this answer, but Zeus insisted on coming over. (Love) stomped back in once the other two Greek gods were gone and came to you, acting like a child, “They tattled on me!” you were quickly mimicking Zeus, you couldn’t breathe from laughing so hard as he and your two kids started to playfully argue about tattling.
            -Poseidon, Hercules, and Hades
-Odin was the last person he expected to see but within moments (Love) was bright red, which Odin did think was rather amusing. He told (Love) how your children came to in tears, saying that he was being mean to you, leaving bruises and biting you. He patted (Love’s) shoulder, “Next time, do it in places they can’t see and go easy on Y/N, she told us both last week she’s not ready for more kids yet.” Once Odin left he came in and hugged you close, trying to drag you away from the kitchen, “I’m not sharing mama anymore!” your children were quick to run, grabbing onto his legs, demanding that he set you free. You laughed softly, managing to get free and left the three of them in the living room, play fighting with each other, as you were hoping they would tire each other out.
-Thor and Loki

Snuggles to late night cuddles
Paring: Loki x reader
Summary: After the night you and Loki shared things take a turn in your relationship with the him after he returns from Asgard with Thor.
Word count: 1.3k🥲
A/N: had a little writer’s block writing this but I hope you enjoy. This is pt.2 to Snuggles.
I just want to dedicate this to @justasecretwriter @peachyymallows & @lokisgoddessofwar I hope you like this ☺️
Tumblr media
Things have been going really well,  for you and loki. You've been dating for 4 months now. Within these short 4 months it felt longer than that, you have been the happiest you ever been and loki has been amazing. You don't know what you would do without him. Although there have been some little setbacks about how neither of you felt good enough for each other but you both would shut them down and reassure each other how much love you had for one another. 
You were currently watching Loki pack just a few midgardians things to bring back to his mother frigga, although you haven't had the chance to meet her, you knew you would already love her just from the stories loki would tell you. “Are you sure you have everything you want to bring back to Asgard? '’ You asked as you hugged him from behind resting your head on his back. He turned around and wrapped his arms tightly around you.
‘’ Yes love, I am sure I have everything I need, don't worry’’ he placed a small kiss on your forehead. You hugged  him tighter ‘’ i'm going to miss you’’ you look into his green eyes almost getting lost in them before loki let out a small chuckle, ‘’ your starting again love but i know i'm going to miss you too, i'll plan to come back as soon as i can darling’’ he lead down to kiss your lips but you were quick to move your hands to the nape of the his neck a pull down  to further deepen the kiss, You don't know how long you were making out but you both pulled away when thor knocked on the door to get loki.  
‘’ it's time for me to go love’’ he placed a quick kiss on your lips then one on your forehead, you held his hand as you walked him to the door. As soon as you opened it Thor was there looking like a cute lost puppy. ‘’ Hello lady y/n’’ he smiled. ‘’ Hi Thor' you smiled back. Loki turned to you and gave you one last hug and a kiss before he left.
As Loki and Thor made their way outside to summon Heimdall, Thor could help but notice how his brother's smile never faded. ‘’ I see you are in love brother’’ Thor nugged Loki's side in a playful manner.
“What are you talking about?” Loki was playing coy. “ you and Lady y/n, I see the way your eyes sparkle when you look at her”.  Loki couldn’t help the massive smile that washed over his face when thinking about you. 
“I am brother, quite truthfully even though we have been as Midgardians call it “dating” for a short while, I wish to court her” Thor placed a hand on his brother's shoulder as they landed in Asgard and greeted Heimdall.
“ I’m happy for you brother truly I am, mother will be thrilled to hear that, I’m sure Father will be thrilled as well”. Just like that all the happiness Loki had ever felt left his body, the thought of Odin not accepting his request to court you due to you not being a Goddess but a midgardian woman. Loki knew this would be a long trip. 
*5 weeks later*   
You had just gotten back from a two week long mission, you were  very exhausted. The only thing keeping you sane is the fact that Loki arrives back from Asgard tonight. As soon as the quinjet lands you head straight to your shared room with Loki. As you enter the room you see Loki sitting in your spot on the couch, the way his body language was you knew something was wrong.
“ hey love” you say softly not wanting to upset him. You slowly walk to the couch and sit beside him, without hesitation he lays in your lap and you  gently stroke your fingers through his hair, already feeling him semi relaxed. You haven’t seen Loki like since the night you both confessed your feelings for one another so you knew whatever happened on his trip wasn’t good. 
You place feather light kisses on his temple. “ Do you want to talk about it?” He shifts to face you. “No” you simply nod. “ Would you like to take a bath with me?” he doesn’t speak but simply nods. You place one last kiss on his forehead before you get up and take his hand and lead him to the bathroom.
He sits down on the toilet while you get the bath ready, as the water fills you help him change out of his clothes until he’s just in his underwear. You turn the water off and place a LUSH Lavender bath bomb, with some scented oils and bath salts.
Loki would never admit this to anyone, he truly does loves the little things like this that you do for him. It makes his heart melt that you show how much you love and care for him. You're both sitting in the tub with your foreheads pressed against each other as your fingers intertwine.
You look up to meet his eyes and it’s this moment he vents all his worries and troubles to you. You always knew Odin was touchy subject with Loki, so for him to feel so vulnerable around you and speak about the events that took place you couldn’t help but fall more in love with the man that sat right in front of you.  
“ Loki nothing Odin says can change the way I feel about you” you cup his face in your hands. “ So what if he doesn’t approve of our relationship, I love you for who you truly are Loki! Frost giant and all. You’re the man I see myself with in the future, you’re the reason I smile every morning. You make my  bad days good and my good days even better”
you lift his face to place a  short but sweet kiss to his lips he can’t help but smile. “ Oh darling what shall I do with you, you’re too good for me, I'm not worthy of your love, thank you for loving me anyways ” he leans in to kiss you again, which leads to a hot make out session which leads to you and Loki having ✨sexy time✨
After your eventful “bath” Loki is laying on your stomach and places light kisses on the skin that’s slightly  exposed from your shirt. “ Did you mean it when you said you saw a future with me?” You looked down  at him and couldn’t help notice how happy he was at that moment. “ I mean every word lokes each day I fall more and more in love with you if that’s even possible.” You kiss his forehead and with that he gets up and goes to his bag.
“ I had this picked out when I arrived on Asgard, umm I know it might be too soon but I can’t keep this bottle up anymore” you move to sit up against the headboard. He pulls out a small box and you can feel your heart almost stop beating. “ Loki” you gasp.  He sits down on the bed and takes your hand in his. “ Y/n I know we only have been dating for a few months and by all means they've been the best months I could ask for, I’m not prospering……” your face expression drops a little. “ …. Yet'' he smiles causing you to smile. “However, I got this as a token of my love and appreciation for you darling” he opens the box and there’s the most beautiful ring you ever saw.
“ I believe you call these promise rings” he takes the ring out of the box and places it on your finger. “ I promise to love and cherish you and all your beauty, for one day I hope this ring will become a wedding ring until then this will do my love” you were so emotional you couldn’t speak you just pulled Loki into a deep passionate kiss.
How did you get so lucky to find not only your best friend but the love of your life all in one you. Although  there may be many more difficult challenges none of it matters because here you had Loki by your side.  That night you both held leach other close what went from comfort snuggles to late night cuddles with the God of Mischief
