#I just imagine Loki spending more time learning to be silent during feasts unless telling children a story or arguing with Thor's

[worstloki]

hi so quick question what if I make Loki aroace in every one of my WIPs. like not even as an actual plot point just as a side note where he maybe makes puns about it (in the more lighthearted ones) or by having Asgard's aphobia contribute to his heap of self-esteem issues (in the angstier ones). what if I just. do that

well i mean i’m going to be reading it either way but that’d be??? real neat??? considering the blatant lack of ace loki fics??? and good aroace Loki content would be fabulous??? more people should realize they just. can. and it only takes a few lines to do it so go for it??? i don’t see any downsides here??? 

#I fill in gaps to the MCU with Comic Asgard so yeah I assume the casual drinking/sex culture would throw Loki off SO much #like #suppose people hold feasts and Fandral has three women perched on his knees and Thor is telling women of their battle today #and Hogun is drinking and correcting Volstagg as he tells the children stories but that's because it's Hogun and Volstagg is married (??) #and then I just imagine Loki age 15 realizing he doesn't like when people touch him #he doesn't see anything 'special' about kissing or sleeping with women or men or anyone #I just imagine Loki spending more time learning to be silent during feasts unless telling children a story or arguing with Thor's #I imagine he didn't show much skin before either but now he's always attending with sleeves and a higher collar #I imagine he notices eyes on him when he walks around perfectly fine on his own but it's a celebration and everyone is pairing off to leave #I imagine he'd just think about trying a relationship but not bringing himself to do it and then not even knowing why #because I doubt a culture that glorifies violence and thrives on patriarchal values is going to appreciate a guy who isn't interested in sex #I also like to think if Amora were around he'd try and explain a bit and she'd help out and parade their relationship #maybe she'd try her hand at figuring out what's wrong with him because he doesn't even know #maybe he'll cry when she tells him none of her attempts at a cure are working out #maybe he'll build a reputation on solitude #on joining in with things but always being the odd one out #so no one will find it strange when everyone else is very enthusiastically heading off to bedchambers in groups #and he's perfectly content practicing his magic tricks or reading a book in the corner #and lets not think about whether he'd pin the aroace thing on being jotun too because surely *that* was the problem this whole time #not when we can think about the equation of sex to a relationship which in itself would just leave Loki so lost to begin with #the sex? sure. maybe he just hasn't found anyone he finds attractive yet. but how does he explain any of the rest if he's to pretend? #in conclusion: #angst good #fluff good #all of it good #ace loki #LokiIsAceAU #i don't know why all the ace loki stuff is being angst recently but i promise i'll try for something lighter later XD

ASGARDIAN EPISTLE 3/3

Summary: Jane writes letters to Darcy to tell her about her stay in Asgard. Surprisingly, Loki is a prominent figure in her letters.

Chapter 1  ; Chapter 2

N/A: Here it is the last chapter! Enjoy the reading.

Letter 7

Dear Darcy,

               Loki is still avoiding me. And he’s the most stubborn man I’ve ever met – especially when he’s driven by emotion instead of reason. If you had asked me weeks ago, I would’ve told you that Loki treated me with indifference and condescendence, as if I were an annoying girl following him around asking questions only he could answer. But now that he’s actively avoiding me, I can say that he was quite friendly during those weeks of supposed indifference.

This week, the king of Vanaheim came to visit Asgard and brought with him his family and his closest advisors. One of these advisors brought his own daughter, Lavinia, a witch apprentice. The first time I saw her was when I was in the library (trying in vain to corner Loki once again to force him to end this ridiculous situation), the girl came to me with confident steps, a perfunctory smile and a well-informed introduction. She didn’t ask me, but informed me that she had heard: “Prince Thor was courting me”. I shouldn’t be surprised to know that the citizens of other realms know about my relationship with Thor. He is a prince, a future king, and although there aren’t tabloids in Asgard, news and gossips travel very fast. Lavinia didn’t seem happy when I confirmed that I was the prince’s girlfriend. Now, I have no doubt that Lavinia had intentions of seducing Thor with the hope of becoming Asgards’ queen. Call me naïve, but only then I realized that there are a lot of people who are probably unhappy with Asgard’s prince courting a Mirdgardian, especially those who have their own designs on Thor.

With the palace full of magic-wielders (remember that Vanirs are quite talented magicians), I took advantage of the situation and asked some of the guests as much as I could about magic spells. It was gratifying to show Loki (who glared at me from a distance) that I didn’t need him to sate my thirst for magical knowledge. You can’t say I haven’t learned anything after living for one month under the same roof than the God of Mischief, you can call me devious, because I am sure the best way of assuring that Loki stops avoiding me is avoiding him back!

The trick is to let him think he’s doing the chase, and not the other way around. I will let you know if I am victorious.

Love,

Jane.

Letter 8

               Dear Darcy,

Yesterday night, Asgard hosted a feast for their Vanir guests. There, I confirmed my bad first impression of Lavinia. I assure you, we could never be friends. She gave up on the idea of seducing Thor because… well, because of me, but that doesn’t mean she completely gave up on the idea of seducing a royal, because she sit next to Loki during the whole feast and talked with him without giving him a respite to engage anyone else in conversation. Loki didn’t seem very uncomfortable with her company, which disappointed me, because I thought he was too intelligent to believe the empty flatteries of such a woman. The times I was close enough to hear their words, they were discussing magic. It was evident that she knew and understood magic well (while I was still struggling with the idea that it existed), but Loki was obviously the most talented magician of the two and she pretended to be in awe of his magic tricks, and laughed too close to his face, and touched his arms and stroke his ego with compliments.

It was a bad evening. Loki was proving to be as silly as any other man when it came to femme fatales, and Thor had forgotten his usual chivalry in his chambers when he came to pick me up. Instead of telling me I looked beautiful (and you know I hate wearing gowns and heels), he said that he didn’t know I was planning on wearing a green dress and that he had always liked red better. You know me, Darcy, red draws too much attention. Emerald green, however, is beautiful, discreet and elegant. Thor has never commented on my wardrobe before – or in fashion in general – so I don’t know what was wrong with him that night. Fortunately, he didn’t mention it again during the whole evening.

And now, I need to tell you the more uncomfortable time of my night. Lavinia came to me and asked me if I had some tips to seduce Loki. Yes, she asked me that. Why did she think I would be able to give her a useful answer? Who knows! Of course, I played dumb and then, without any trace of embarrassment, she asked me about Loki’s preferences in bed. And I am relying to you a summary of her inquiries adapted for a PG audience, because she was unbelievable crude and graphic and explicit in her questions. When I told her I couldn’t know, she told me that I shouldn’t wear a green dress if I didn’t want people to think I was planning on sharing my bed with the younger prince or if I hadn’t enjoyed his attentions before.

What is wrong with these people and colors?

I am so angry right now that I can’t sleep so I decided to write you this letter instead.

I miss you,

Jane.

Letter 9

               Dear Darcy,

How would I know if Loki slept with Lavinia after the feast? We’re not friends. He’s avoiding me. I can’t go to him and ask him such a personal question. If you’re asking me about what I think, I would say they didn’t, but I am not sure on what I am basing my answer. Maybe just in the absence of evidences.

The Vanirs left Asgard, and with them Lavinia as well. I didn’t see any romantic farewells between Loki and her and that’s part of the “absence of evidence” in which I am basing my answer. But I am aware it’s not very telling, because I just can’t imagine Loki being very romantic in any situation. But, who knows? Maybe he will surprise me! I mean… He will surprise me being romantic with another woman in my presence, not that I… It doesn’t matter.

Now that I have answered your question, I have to give you big news. Goods news, I think. Or more like regular news. Being completely honest, what wasn’t good was my reaction. Ok, brace yourself because… Thor has asked me to marry him. Yes, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. He’s the perfect man, he’s a fucking prince, he’s a god, he’s gentle, and handsome… So why was my answer: I don’t know? Is it because we haven’t been together that long? Is it because I am scared of being a queen?  Is it because I am not in love with him? There’s something that’s preventing me from saying YES, I DO. And I am not sure what it is.

I love Asgard, and I can see myself living here my whole life, studying the stars, trying to traduce magic into our own science, having a family and even living thousand of years as the Aesir do (Apparently there’s an apple that can make that possible). But do I want to spend eternity with Thor? Do I want to be the queen of a realm I don’t know? Could I learn to be wife, queen and Aesir?

I told Thor I needed some time to think about it and I am planning on returning to Earth soon, so I will see you and hopefully you can help me to put some order to my thoughts.

Oh! And when I told the Odinsons during dinner that I was planning on going back to Earth for some time, Loki talked to me for the first time in days. As if nothing had happened. He didn’t explain himself or apologize, he simply said a condescending comment about Midgard – but he was talking to me and looking at me directly for the first time in eight damn days. I told you, he’s so infuriating!

See you soon,

Jane.

                 While they wait for their hamburgers in their booth of the diner, Darcy is unsarcastically silent but there’s something in her expression that tells Jane that her friend is trying to contain her special kind of wisdom inside. As soon as the waitress brings them their food and leaves, Darcy takes a sip of her coke and says:

“You can’t marry Thor.”

“What?” Jane says, surprised. This isn’t what she was expecting. “Why?”.

“Have you read your own letters, Jane? They’re quite enlightening.”

“I wrote those letters, Darcy, I don’t think I need to read them. I know what they say.”

“Oh, yeah? 202 times, Jane.”

“What? 202 times what?”

“You mentioned Loki Odinson 202 times in 9 letters.”

“That’s impossible. I didn’t say his name 202 times.”

“No. I counted his name, all the ‘his’ and ‘him’ that referred to Loki, as well as ‘the bastard’, ‘the asshole’, ‘the devil’ and ‘the father’, which are the names you called him.”

“I never called him father. That doesn’t make sense.”

“Yes, the father of your son.”

“Are you crazy? You’re making it up.”

“Well, you had a slip of the tongue just before you wrote about that story of Loki having a slip of the tongue when he called his father, father. To be more precise, you said…” Darcy took the letters from her bag, and looked for the fourth letter. “Here. You said: ‘He isn’t going to have my first born-son.’ I think that was a reference to the Rumpelstiltskin tale because you also said something about an unpronounceable name. Anyway, you said: ‘He isn’t going to have my first-born son. Talking about fathers and sons…’ See? There! Talking about fathers? You haven’t been talking about fathers before, unless you were thinking about Loki having your first-born son in the most natural way. And that’s not how the tale goes.”

“I just didn’t do a good job expressing myself. Okay? And yes, maybe I wrote a lot about Loki, but I don’t know… Maybe it was because you already know Thor, so I thought you would be more curious to hear about Loki.”

“You thought I was going to be more interested in the guy I don’t know than the guy I actually know? Isn’t it usually the other way around?”

“Well, he’s an interesting guy. And he has magic. Magic, Darcy.”

“Oh, I know. He’s sophisticated, his fighting technique is elegant, he’s witty, he has charisma and impressive magic skills, he has an explosive personality that can’t go unnoticed and… oh, yes, let’s not forget his brilliant mind. Is he handsome? You didn’t say and the pictures from New York are kinda blurry.”

Jane crosses her arms, and doesn’t answer.

“Jane.” Darcy says in a warning tone, and she sighs.

“Okay. Yes, he’s handsome. What are you trying to say?”

“Jane, you have a crush on Loki.”

“I don’t.”

“You’re just in denial. I get it, okay? He doesn’t seem like an easy guy, with his megalomaniac issues and all that, but you feel attracted to him anyway and that’s exactly why you feel like you can’t marry Thor. Because you like Loki better. And you want to have his kids.”

“You’re having fun with this, aren’t you?”

“Yes, but that doesn’t mean I am not right. Come on, Jane! You were jealous of this Lavinia girl!”

“Yes, she wanted Thor at first.”

“And then, she wanted Loki.”

“He didn’t sleep with her.” Jane said, not knowing exactly why she felt the need.

“Good. I am happy for you. And the thing with the colors and your dress... Jane, as I have told you, you’re the dumbest intelligent person I’ve ever known. Green is Loki’s color, you were sending a message to everyone who saw you.”

“What message?”

“It was like wearing a cartel that said: `I belong to Loki.’ Of course Thor wasn’t happy with your choice of dress.”

“That’s absurd. So now he’s the only one who can dress in green?”

“Not the only one. He and his lovers, I suppose. Maybe his future family.”

“What about black? He dresses a lot in black, too.”

“I think you’re safe with black.”

“It’s still absurd.”

“I know. I agree, but they’re not my rules. Asgard’s rules, apparently.” Darcy said, smiling amused. “And by the way, this is the last time you send me a PG letter. I want all the juicy details, so tell me, what questions did Lavinia ask you?”

Jane shakes her head, “Believe me. You don’t want to know.”

“Believe me. I want to know.”

Jane blushes before answering, “I am not going to say them here out loud. Okay? They were just very graphic questions about what he likes or doesn’t like to do during sex.”

Darcy’s smile grows bigger. “And you don’t want to find out those answers?”

“God! Darcy, shut up!”

“You’re thinking about it!”

“No, I am not!”

“You have it bad, girl. So you don’t want to go back to Asgard?”

“Of course I want to.”

“Well, then why don’t you? You know you’re welcome there.”

Jane looks at Darcy, hesitant. Finally, she sighs as if she had given up, “I am not sure if he will talk to me or avoid me again, okay?”

Of course, there isn’t any need for her to say who ‘he’ is. And Darcy knows that’s the only concession she is ready to give at the moment. For now, it is enough.

THE END.
