The games we can play

Pairing: Loki × original female character

Genre: Fluffff

Words: 1.7k

Summary: Loki meets a beautiful stranger at one of Asgard’s celebratory balls, helping his evening go right.

Notes: Hello everyone! This is a pairing I’ve been obsessed with for the longest time. Helia is a product of so much lore and passion and I just recently realised how good these two would be together! This is a part of a bigger universe that I’ve been brainstorming for a while but Loki season 2 gave me an incentive to finally start writing about it. This oneshot is based on the Taylor Swift song ‘Blank Space’ which fit perfectly with how I envisioned them to meet. Hope you enjoy the both of them as much as I loved writing them!

Part of when we’re all alone, I will reach for you series of non chronological oneshots.

Today was another one of the celebratory banquets that everyone on Asgard seemed to love so much and Loki was tired of mingling with the same people over and over again.

He liked a good celebration, don’t get him wrong but these formal ceremonies were much more stifling than the ones he preferred, the more….indecorous ones. There hadn’t been one in a while and it was such a shame, for only at those times did the uptight nobility let loose, forgetting their inhibitions, indulging in all kinds of vices. And Loki was definitely the one who savoured those gatherings the most.

A few people had come up to greet him, two ladies and three lords, engaging him in conversation about the trivialities they get up to and asking about his.

Alas, the heavy burden of social responsibility fell on his mother and himself since the other two members of his family could hardly communicate in a manner fit to converse with the gathered people, though due to different habits. His brother could not stop himself when he started talking, boasting rather, while his father rarely spoke outside of what was necessary.

Loki on the other hand had been blessed by the natural charisma like that of his mother and people certainly took note of it. He was pretty sure that he knew much more about these nobles than Thor did, no matter if he was still more admired than him. Loki never did understand how that worked.

He could not wait to end the night with a warm cup of tea and an excellent read, hidden somewhere amongst the vast columns of books housed in Asgard’s library.

“Hello there.”

Loki turned away from the group of nobles he was conversing with, to look at who had spoken. Even though it was a little boring to chat with the same people for the umpteenth time, Loki didn’t like being interrupted.

His furrowed brows smoothed when he saw the person who had spoken. The silver haired woman was holding a glass of bubbling drink in one hand, a circlet of gold around her head showing that she was probably of high status, in a gown of white that Loki had to admit looked really attractive on her. Her smile, while genuine as far as Loki could tell, also contained a bit of a sly upturn.

“Where have you been?” Her words brought the furrow back to his face. He was pretty sure he didn’t know this woman, which was admittedly a shame, but true nonetheless. However, he wasn’t about to blurt out his confusion unlike one other member of his family that had no such filter.

“It is nice to make your acquaintance, madam but you must excuse me for my poor memory. I fear I cannot quite remember where we have met before.” His words were smooth, a polite smile on his face and he was sure the woman would blush and tell him she admired him or something of the same manner and he would thank her politely and that would be the end of that. Her reply, voice dripping with honey and suggestion, however had him and the nobles around him speechless.

“Ah, the incredible things I could show you.”

He swore he even heard a gasp from one of the ladies standing near him but the now mischievous upturn of the woman’s lips had him intrigued. Here she was, a lady of unknown - although , he had deduced it must be high - standing, of unknown origins, talking to him like they were more than acquaintances and he didn’t have a clue as to who she was. Maybe he should start paying more attention to who his father invited to these things.

He cocked his head, letting a smirk grace his own face, intent on playing along with her little game. This was the most fun he had seen since the evening started.

“Magic, madness, heaven, or sin? I assure you I have seen it all.” He practically purred, taking a few steps towards the woman. The group he had been standing with, followed along like baby ducklings, intent on seeing this play out. It wasn’t common for people to speak so casually with him, knowing his standing and he knew with confidence that this woman was definitely not of Asgard. He would have remembered such a beautiful and bold lady had she been of its court.

He noticed her eyes brightening, smile turning positively devilish at his response and he felt his heart stutter a little at the way she looked at him.

“Oh, anything that you want. I just saw you standing there, and thought to myself, ‘he looks like he could be my next mistake’.”

This time there could be no mistaking the scandalized whispers of the people around them. But the lady didn’t seem like she cared. In fact, she took a sip of her drink, eyes goading as if wanting to know if he would play along or brush her off in the face of proprietary. Well, she was in for a surprise if she thought he was going to back off.

“A mistake I certainly shall not be, my lady, I assure you. But will the high be worth all that pain?” He let his eyes trace her figure, drinking in her delicious body, made all the more enticing by delicate pieces of gold jewellery that she wore in just the right places.

“Oh, I’ve got a long list of ex-suitors that can attest to that high.” she moved a little closer, voice down to barely a whisper he was sure was meant only for his ears. “And the pain as well.”

He felt a shiver go down his spine at the words, getting a little light headed at the smell of her perfume invading all his senses, her face now a lot closer to his own. Belatedly, he noticed that the people had left them some space, probably not wanting to annoy the prince in case the conversation turned more private, but hadn’t moved their eyes off of them.

“What do you say, my lord? Love is but a game, and I think you want to play it.” She grinned smugly, all too aware of the effect she had on him and it disgruntled him a little that he couldn’t appear as stoic as he wanted to in front of her. Would she think him weak, for showing his appreciation of her words and form on his face and actions? Or would she embrace it, reward him for it with another seductive quip? Although it appeared she did not know that he was a prince, if he put any thought to the way she addressed him. What would she think when she knew?

“So you think this,” he gestured between them, “is going to be a forever thing? A happily ever after?” He didn’t want there to be any illusion between them. Yes he was attracted to her, as was she since she was the one who started this all, but he didn’t want to bind himself , in a manner of speaking, to anyone yet. He had plenty of time to dedicate to debauchery before that happened. And it wasn’t going to be anytime soon.

“Oh, it could easily go down in flames, I assure you.” She smiled sweetly at him and this time, it was he who stepped a little closer, barely appropriate judging by the etiquette. But he was a prince and who was going to admonish him? His mother maybe but he was pretty sure she was not aware of what was happening just yet.

“In that case, will the lady—“

“Your Majesty!”

A shout from behind the woman interrupted his sentence and he raised his eyes to look at a knight, looking as if she had just arrived, with a few more guards in tow, all looking at them with awkward expressions.

The woman in front of her stepped back a little, her body still angled towards him to listen to what the knight had to say. He was surprised to see the woman responding to the title of a monarch. She looked young, around his age, and he had just assumed that she was a lady with a foreign delegation.

“Your Majesty, the king of Asgard is requesting your company. And please, do not slip away from us again.” The knight, who appeared to be the head of the guards, spoke in a low voice but Loki was close enough to hear her.

His brows raised in surprise but he made no move to step away. This woman, no Queen, was turning out to be a complex puzzle the more he heard about her and Loki of Asgard, was never one to shy away from a good academic pursuit.

The woman sighed, and spoke a few words to her guards before turning to him, the same smile on her face, although a little subdued.

“I will be looking forward to that game.” She winked, stepping back but Loki was faster.

He took her hand in his, lifting it to his lips, all the while maintaining eye contact with her, and pressed a gentle kiss to her knuckles. He was delighted at the way her eyes widened at the gesture and he lingered like that for a few moments, caressing her hand before letting her go.

“I will be waiting patiently, my lady.”

The smile she gave him crinkled the corners of her eyes and Loki found himself wanting to kiss the creases. The head of the guards gave an exasperated look to her Queen, as if she was used to it and the rest of them strategically averted their eyes.

“Let’s not delay anymore, my Queen.”

The woman turned then, her guards forming a semi circle around her as she walked towards the other side of the room, presumably to where his father was, the guests clearing out of her way as she walked ahead with poise.

“Your highness the king asks for your presence.” A guard spoke in his ear and he smiled, giving a nod in acknowledgment and walking the same way.

Yes, this was the most fun he’d had since the evening started.

That part is crooked kingdom where we think wylan betrayed his friends before finding out that his “betrayal” was such a major part of kaz plan…. How he goes from just there as insurance against his father but finds his own place in the chaos…. Truly underrated character

Pairing: Eddie Munson × reader

Words: 570

Summary: Eddie can't take his eyes off of you.

Notes: my first Eddie fic so I'm nervous 🥺 comments and reblogs are greatly appreciated! Let me know if I should continue.

Eddie's eyes followed you across the cafeteria as you made way to your friends at the opposite end.

His head was filled with thoughts of the two of you sitting together, talking and laughing, just like you were now, surrounded by your small group of friends.

"Earth to Eddie!" Gareth's voice brought him out of his musings and he let out a distracted hum, eyes still glued to your profile.

"You're being a creep, Eddie. Stop staring," Dustin said, rolling his eyes at the dungeon master who finally looked away from you and focused on him.

"Why do you say that? I'm always like this." Eddie grinned, tilting his head to the side, as if proud of the fact and Mike snorted.

"Yeah, but this is level ten creepiness rather than your general three."

The whole table laughed including Eddie and they all fell into conversation about their newest campaigns and how the popular crowd was still up to their usual antics of bullying them.

It was only when the bell rang and people started getting up that his eyes flicked to where you were before, only to find the place empty. He looked around a little, trying to find you but couldn't.

"Well my little sheep, this is where I must bid you farewell. For I —" he got up from his chair suddenly, walking backwards with arms spread open, a smirk on his face but a little puzzled by the wide eyed expression on his gang's faces.

It was only when he bumped into someone, losing his balance and falling on them that he realised why.

"Oww." Your huff of pain reached his ears and he scrambled to get up, worried that you were hurt under him.

"Shit, shit, shit, I'm so sorry. I didn't realise," he said quickly, leaning down and offering his hand to help you up. Heart beating a mile a minute, he was glad that you didn't reject his hand and helped you up as you winced.

"I'm so so sorry. I'm so stupid, I really didn't see you before—" he trailed off awkwardly but you only blinked.

"Before you started with the theatrics?" You said and he tensed, thinking you were angry but the small smile on your face suggested otherwise and he felt all the tension in his body release at the sight of it.

"Yeah, sorry about that." He laughed nervously, but you were already shaking your head.

"It's all right. I didn't see where I was going either."

"I'm Eddie." He blurted out and could literally feel the embarrassment radiating off of him.

You tilted your head cutely, like a puppy and smiled.

"I know."

"Eddie! You're gonna be late, come on!" Jeff's voice came from the cafeteria door and only then did he realise that the two of you were alone in the big hall.

His eyes widened, as did yours and he bit his lip, considering what to do next. On one hand, he finally had a conversation with you but on the other, he really couldn't afford to be late.

"Race you to the class?" You said, already running towards the door and his heart flipped in his chest before he started after you, laughing loudly.

"You're so on! What do I get if I win?" He shouted and you turned back to look at him, still ahead, face flushed with effort and Eddie swore he had never seen someone as gorgeous.

"Why don't you find out?"

Kitten

Pairing: Kaz Brekker × durast!reader

Words: 921

Genre: fluff, humor

Summary: Jesper cannot stop laughing after returning with Kaz and you and Wylan are going to find out why.

The noises of gamblers and drunks echoed throughout the club, making you shift uneasily on your perch on the barstool, drink in hand. It seemed as if each table wanted to one up the other in terms of who could kick up the most racket and the men hadn't stopped shouting and banging their fists on the table. Occasionally, a few of them had to be thrown out but that was nothing unusual.

Wylan slid in the seat beside you, sighing and calling the barkeep for a drink.

"Rough day?" You asked, turning to him, trying to block out the loud noises behind you.

"You can't even imagine. Kaz had me down in the lab since yesterday making more bombs and I'm just about ready to die."

You laughed, Wylan's miserable expression only heightening your amusement.

"At least it's quiet, I'm just about ready to punch that guy over there. He hasn't stopped bragging about his bets ever since he came in." You sighed exasperated and Wylan's lips quirked up in a tired smile.

Before he could say anything, Jesper's loud voice boomed through the club, calling for his boyfriend. Wylan looked at you as if to ask for help but you only smiled slyly, raising your glass.

"I wish you luck."

As it so happened, you also needed that luck because Jesper grabbed you both by the arms, dragging you towards the back entrance of the club, all the while shoulders shaking in an attempt to control his laughter. You and Wylan shared an incredulous look, worrying about Jesper's sanity before he stopped in a hallway.

You were about to question him whether he wanted to see a healer, when you came face to face with Kaz's scowling face. Well, he was always scowling but today, it was particularly menacing.

They had both gone to acquire some materials for the next job and had only returned now. But you still couldn't decipher why Jesper brought the two of you here looking like he won a million kruge.

"Is everything okay?" You asked Kaz, knowing Jesper was going to be no use.

Jesper laughed harder and Kaz's gaze turned murderous, but the sharpshooter didn't seem to notice. Wylan inched closer to you and away from his boyfriend.

"Show them, Kaz," Jesper managed between laughs and Kaz's fingers flexed against the crow head of his cane. You were beginning to become curious now and turned to him expectantly.

You interpreted his clenched jaw as an attempt to calm down, before his shoulders sagged and he let out a breath.

"Come here," he said and you raised an eyebrow, fully prepared to twist his words and tease him but the warning glint in his eyes told you to keep your mouth shut for the time being.

When you were close enough, he turned a little sideways so you could see what had Jesper so amused and your jaw dropped at the scene before you.

Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands, Bastard of the Barrel, had a kitten stuck on the back of his coat.

You blinked before turning to Jesper and Wylan and again to Kaz.

"Are you seeing this too?" You asked and Kaz's patience finally seemed to snap as he walked away from your group, heading to his office.

A grin slowly spread across your lips as you followed him, Wylan's exasperated voice asking Jesper to shut up in the background.

"Kaz! Wait up!"

He did not wait and slammed the door to his office closed but you weren't about to be deterred by something as simple as that. Opening it again, you were met with the amusing sight of Kaz trying to shake away the kitten but the little animal had it's claws deep in his jacket.

Laughing a little, you stepped forward, raising your hands to let him know what you were planning.

He looked at you for a moment before staying still as you moved towards him. He tensed when your hands brushed his jacket but you were gentle with your ministrations, so that he didn't feel a thing. When he felt you step back, only then did he release the breath that had been caught in his throat.

You were cradling the creature who had begun protesting when you were trying to remove it by meowing continuously. It was now quiet and clung to you like it had been with Kaz earlier.

You were looking at the little kitten with an intense focus, brushing your hand atop his matted fur and Kaz knew. He knew you too well by now to guess what you were thinking and he already had an answer prepared.

"No."

Your head snapped to his, eyes wide, lips in a pout and Kaz's heart stuttered seeing you look at him like that.

"I haven't even said anything!"

"Still no."

"Kaz please. I'll-" you grimaced a little before steeling yourself, "I'll stop scaring people with the nails."

Kaz raised an eyebrow, not expecting that. That was your favorite pastime, scaring the Dregs and your way of showing your anger. To give it up must mean you were serious about keeping the filthy thing.

You were waiting for his decision but Kaz also knew that you were going to keep it anyway. Better that he agreed and you stopped ruining his walls than you keeping it a secret.

"Fine. Don't let it out of your room."

It had nothing to do with your pleading expression, he told himself.

"I'm not leaving you here."

"You left without saying goodbye."

"For once in your life, do what you want! Be selfish!"

"You said you wouldn't leave, and then you did."

"I'm a fool for believing you meant what you said."

"Whatever you do, do not close your eyes."

Value

Pairing: Kaz Brekker × durast!reader

Genre: fluff, a little angst

The sky was dark, dreary, and full of sadness.

It was a day you would rather forget, but every year, it crept up on you, suffocating, strangling. Why should you remember the day your father left you on the doorsteps of an orphanage? That he didn't want you? That nobody did?

The floorboards creaked as someone entered the room and if it was someone else, they already would have gotten a faceful of the metal nails you kept in your room. But as it was Kaz, he only got a few nails swooshing past his eyes, embedding into the wall behind him.

"I'm honoured. They were two less than before." His raspy voice greeted your ears and as much as you enjoyed hearing it when he was thoroughly annoyed with you, you couldn't be bothered to reply today, sparing him a look and continued staring out the window.

"Nina was looking for you."

"What do you want, Kaz," you said tiredly, looking at his face, only for him to sit from across you in the windowsill, a good distance between the two of you.

"I want you to stop feeling sorry for yourself."

You scowled, temper rising at the words he had so carelessly thrown around.

"Not everyone is as emotionless as you. Some people have thoughts other than planning their next crime."

Kaz huffed out a laugh at that, leaning against the window, dark eyes staring at you.

"Well, no one's like me, I agree. But you don't need to waste your emotions on someone who didn't realise your value."

"Saints, Kaz, you really know how to make someone feel special. Just what anyone would want to hear, how much they're worth." You couldn't keep the bitterness out of your voice and Kaz straightened up. This was just not a good time for banter and he seemed to realise that.

"I'm telling the truth. Just because I'm not good with words doesn't make it nonsense. You have people who value you, who like your presence, so why waste time on someone who hadn't even given you a second thought?" He asked, not getting a reply in return. He wasn't expecting any, he knew better than that.

After a few moments of silence, he got up, leaning on his cane and started towards the door. Just as he was about to cross the threshold, your voice gave him pause.

"And you? Are you one of the people who value me?" Your voice was even, nonchalant but Kaz had spent enough time with you to know what this was.

"I might. You have to take a gamble on that."

His lips tugged into a faint smile as he closed the door behind him, hearing your quiet laughter at his familiar words.
