“  OPEN  YOUR  EYES.  ”

they’d come out this way at loki’s behest to see  something,   something that loki cherishes greatly.     he’s a bit tearful as he comes ‘round from behind mobius where pale hands had been covering his eyes,  letting the analyst see that something unimpeded :    sleipnir,   the allfather’s eight—legged warhorse,  loki’s firstborn son.

ah,  sleipnir.     the horse is wild like his father,  untamed & unchecked even now,  snorting a few plumes of smoke as it bends its great head to graze.     it stands hands above loki’s already impressive height,  its withers at the trickster’s head,  massive hooves pawing the soft grass & stamping out the occasional scorch mark into the soil.     loki smooths a hand along the beast’s dappled neck,  smiling to himself ;    they hadn’t had enough time together,  though admittedly loki himself had been relatively young when the debacle with the builder & his stallion had happened.

the great horse hadn’t allowed anyone but  odin  allfather  to ride him for ages.     a much younger loki had once stolen into sleipnir’s paddock & leaped onto the creature’s broad back,  & oh ... how the beast had  run,   bucked,   &  fought.     odin had slapped him across the face for such a brazen act,  but in loki’s mind it had been  well  worth  it.     the shapeshifter had never forgotten the feeling,  the wind in his hair,  the sparks from beneath those rapid hoofbeats,  the thundering of sleipnir’s breath :    for the first time he’d felt himself truly  in  awe  of another creature ... a creature that  he’d  created.

yet they’d come to a mutual respect of one another during the most crucial of moments ;    he had ridden the beast out of the inferno of ragnarok,  black steel hooves thundering across the rainbow bridge as sleipnir had snorted fire & smoke.     once on the statesman loki had unceremoniously handed the creature’s reins to thor,  proclaiming that   ‘ the allfather is nothing without the best horse in the nine realms ’  before slipping away into nothingness to reflect.

yet now they stand together,  the three of them,  with no allfather or allmother to ride the great warhorse ... & in loki’s mind a plan is hatching.

THUNDERER​.

the   path   of   least   resistance   hasn’t   always   been   easy   .   the   pair   of   brothers   have   had   a   turbulent   relationship   for   YEARS   and   they’ve   only   just   started   to   come   to   terms   with   finding   that   bond   they   once   shared   .   after   believing   him   to   be   dead   ,   of   course   the   god   of   MISCHIEF   ,   would   show   his   face   again   but   this   time   hadn’t   been   a   trick   .   

since   their   tearful   reunion   ,   thor   has   gone   back   to   attempting   to   be   the   king   his   people   deserve   .   loki   comes   and   goes   as   he   pleases   ,   but   more   importantly   than   ever   ,   they   are   brothers   again   ,   which   is   all   thor   ever   truely   wanted   .   to   feel   as   if   they   were   family   and   after   losing   every   other   part   of   that   ??      he   thought   all   of   his   family   had   been   gone   forever   .   steve   will   be   there   ,   they   are   still   mending   from   the   mess   that   thor   made   between   them   .   still   ,   loki   is   a   different   kind   of   family   and   one   that   the   god   of   thunder   will   ALWAYS   need   and   thankful   he   is   that   he   does   not   have   to   travel   through   the   existence   any   longer   without   him   .   

it   is   late   when   a   tapping   comes   at   his   door   and   the   plans   for   duty   the   next   day   are   pushed   aside   in   favor   of   answering   the   door   of   his   tiny   home   .      ❝   by   the   gods   ,   brother   .   what   has   happened   ??   ❞   one   look   at   loki   and   thor   can   determine   the   level   of   hell   he   must   have   faced   .      his   chest   tightens   at   the   way   his   brother   staggers   forward   into   the   doorway   causing   thor   to   move   quickly   ,   catching   him   .   ❝      alright   .      now   i’ve   got   you      .   come   with   you   now   .      you’re   alright   ,   baby   brother   .      ❞

“  TRUST  ME  WHEN  I  TELL  YOU,   brother,  that it is  not  something  that  you  wish  to  know.  ”

loki all but  COLLAPSES  into his brother’s arms,  clothes in tatters & expression grim as  death  itself.     trust the  GOD  OF  MISCHIEF  to keep secrets still in spite of the warmth that exists between them once more,  this  new  family.     the liesmith still does not care for or put any faith in rogers,  but his trust has always been given out with infrequency ;    he expects the feeling to be  MUTUAL  & is accepting of it.     so when he had elected  not  to tell thor his reason for leaving this time,  he’d received no resistance  —  the thunderer seems to understand that he needs his freedom to come & go,  respects his privacy & loves him regardless of his flaws ... & that is all that loki can ask for.

doubtless,  neither odinson had expected this to be the way that the golden—horned prince would return to new asgard.

a cough,  wet with the trickster’s blood ;    his head falls back onto thor’s shoulder as loki gives a hiss of pain,  made visible as a  MIST  thanks to the chill of winter that has pervaded the entryway alongside his presence.     indeed he’s been injured so grievously that  the  cold  of  jötunheim  is  seeping  through  his  æsir  skin.     on instinct he tries to pull away from thor to avoid giving him  FROSTBITE ;    but a sharp,  unyielding pain from his shattered ribs jolts him like lightning at the motion,  & he can only sag further into the thunder god’s arms with an exhausted groan,  clutching his brother’s forearms tightly to avoid falling to the floor.

“  i … miscalculated.     i had thought that i could … take care of this on my own,  ”     he admits slowly,  taking the time to keep his words deliberate & well rounded in spite of the wheeze to his voice.     “  but i was  WRONG,   thor.     i was  so  wrong.     the variants … the multiverse … it’s all going to come down around us,  brother,  & i’m afraid that this time it  IS  all my fault.     i could not stop her that day,  as hard as i tried ...  ”
