#this is why Loki likes sweet foods
worstloki · 1 year
Note
Everyone instantly like ‘Thor is stronger than Loki’, but give that man some spicy wings and he’s out of it, knocked off that pedestal, bro would cry and Loki would be there like “..I like the flavour..” (maybe frost giants don’t even have spice receptors ??? [headcanon unlocked?!]).
People of other races, sweating profusely: ohhhh, so that's how you stay warm on this freezing planet,,. all the spices,,. all this chilli you've put into the local plants and meats,,;,;
Everyone on Jotunheim: not sure what you're talking about. this is regular food ?¿

A/N: I had so much fun writing this! Please pardon me, but this short is clichéd 😶‍🌫️
Tumblr media
"Come on Loki!! Keep up with me!!" You shouted, turning back to see the grumpy God you had dragged with you to the city carnival that you absolutely loved to go to every year. Amazing food and games—why not?
Loki walked over to you with slow, reluctant steps to show his disinterest. He was judging—not you, but the people around him. His disgust for midgardians used to heighten whenever he used to go out with you. To his surprise, you take hold of his arm and start to drag him through the crowd. It was secretly funny to him to see such a little girl try to pull his tall, godly self.
"I fail to comprehend why you insist on subjecting me to this... spectacle," Loki grumbled, eyeing the vibrant chaos around you both.
"Come on, Loki! Lighten up a bit! Carnivals are all about fun and joy!" You chirped, your eyes sparkling with excitement.
Loki sighed, resigned to his fate, as you practically skipped towards the entrance. The carnival was a riot of colors, with  the scent of popcorn and cotton candy lingering in the air. His eyes squinted against the bright lights.
You stop at a cotton candy cart, where you buy an oversized, pink cloud of sugar. You draw up your hand near his lips. "Here, try some! It's like eating a piece of happiness!" Loki raises his eyebrow, his hands crossed, as he leans in to take a small bite.
"It's excessively sweet," he remarks. "Yeah, isn't it amazing?" you beam up at him, and Loki struggles to oppose a smile. You notice that, but decide not to tease the grumbling god for now. You both continued exploring the place, pulling Loki from one attraction to another. Loki glanced at you from time to time, secretly admiring how excited you became with every little thing.
"Let's get matching face paint, Loki! It'll be like a secret bonding ritual," she suggested with a wide grin.
He huffs. "I'm not getting that," he says, before you give him that sweet look of yours that was absolutely irresistible to him. He complies and you chuckle, admiring how he always used to impassively try new things with you.
"I look no less than a jester," he complains after the artist draws a small heart with an arrow on his face and yours. "You look absolutely sweet to me," you say, leaning in to place a soft peck on his cheek.
That's what drove his body to absolutely melt for you.
He won't show it, but he was almost enchanted by this small showcase of physical affection you displaced. And he wanted more, but he couldn't ask for a kiss in this rushed place.
The night progressed, filled with laughter, rides, and carnival games. You even won a stuffed animal at the ring toss, holding it up triumphantly. "And a little plushie for my God of Mischief," you teased, earning a faint smirk from him. He loved it whenever you used to address him by his title.
You both wandered through the carnival hand in hand, and you stopped in front of a photo booth. "What do you say Loki? Care for a picture?" And before he could even grumble about it being a childish endeavour, you ran inside the closed booth, giggling excitedly. He follows after you, scoffing as he takes a seat beside you, facing the camera.
"Ridiculous. I have no interest in such frivolous displays." You jokingly pout at him, "Come on, just one for me, okay? Now suggest a pose." He sighs and thinks for a moment, then it strikes him.
"How about...a...kiss on the cheek? I've seen youngsters do it..."
To your amazement, his voice sounded surprisingly shy. Of course he was shy; he rarely asked for physical affection. You raise an eyebrow and softly chuckle, "Really? Loki, the God of Mischief, suggesting a pose involving physical affection? This is a rare sight." Loki scowled, attempting to salvage his composure. "It's merely for the sake of a photograph. Don't read too much into it."
You chuckle again. "Sure, then let's go with your pose then. Who would've thought you were into these cute and sentimental gestures?" You lean in, but struggle a bit to reach Loki's elevated height while sitting.
"You're too short for me, darling," he says, a tease of mischief in his voice, and he was grinning. Dissatisfied with the lack of intimacy, he couldn't resist the urge to take matters into his own hands—quite literally. With an unexpected swiftness, he picks you up and places you on his lap, and you couldn't help but blush at this sudden turn of events.
"There, much better," Loki muttered, his stoic expression tinged with a rare hint of amusement. Now that you were comfortably settled on his lap, he tilted his head to the side, inviting the cheek kiss rather demandingly. You smile, wrap your arms around his neck, and press a rather sweet kiss on his cheek. A subtle warmth enveloped the god, contrasting with the usual cool facade he wore. In that fleeting moment, the touch of your lips sparked an unexpected sensation—a mixture of surprise and an unfamiliar tenderness. Loki, who was quick to dismiss such feelings, couldn't deny the subtle flutter in his chest. He felt an air of brief vulnerability.
The camera captures the sweet moment, which not only showcases your cute pose but also the playful dynamic of your unlikely pair.

Starving
Tumblr media
Rating: PG14
Requester: @eleniblue
Summary: Loki prompt: Reader telling Loki, "Hey! I was gonna eat that!" Loki can't resist taking a bite out of anything the reader is about to eat.
Your grip tightened on the fork in your hand as you fought the urge to stab the god of mischief right next to you.
You both had the entire day free until it came to this evening meal with the Avengers, sitting around you focused on their own conversations. The whole day! Why did he always choose the worse times to try to tease you when you were either around people or focused on something important.
Apparently on Loki’s schedule for today was to bite and take everything you attempted to reach for. Seems a thorough “hey! I was gonna eat that-“ scolding was not enough to make him let you have a moments piece to calm your hunger; he just went about eating with a small smirk on his lips as he pretended to be listening to the conversation around the table.
Taking a moment to glance at him, making sure he didn’t seem to be looking this way, your hand darted forward in almost lightening speed for a sweet roll but impossibly your hand landed on his where it gripped the piece of bread first. The contact made you quickly pull away with reddened cheeks as Loki pulled his hand back to set the bun on his plate.
‘’you literally have four on your plate already!’’ you hiss, keeping your voice down as you starred daggers into his eyes as he gave you an amused look.
‘’Asgardians need to eat far more than mere mortals. Why don’t you try reaching for the fruit this time?’’ he offered, almost challenging you but you knew better than to trust him. he’d probably magically teleport over there first before you could even lift your hand.
‘’you want me to starve to death?’’ you glared.
Loki sighed and gave you a “really?’’ look. ‘’I hardly doubt that one would perish by missing one meal.’’
‘’is that your intention then?’’ you gasped. By his unresponsive ass and taking another bite of his food, it made you second guess if he honestly was trying to kill you. So, you needed more of a distracted thought thrown at him so you’d have a faster chance to reach out.
‘’fine, eat it all. Maybe you’ll finally be as big as Thor’’ you said casually, straightening the unused utensils by your plate and saw his eyes flash at you in your side view.
This was your chance but instead of reaching over to take a roll from the plate before you, you reached over to his plate and took one of his. His “you dare?’’ expression and still a shocked one from your comment earlier was enough to take a bite with a smug expression on your face before you turned to pretend to listen to the conversation as he had.
Honestly its almost as if you could feel fire from his gaze at you and it almost made you squirm, regretting the comment as you tried remaining calm. Luckily his eyes slowly looked back to the others with his fork moving around aimlessly at the food he had harbored.
Perhaps the comment was to far, but at least you could probably eat in piece as you rose your hand to take another bite.. but your hand wouldn’t budge. Your other hand wouldn’t move either. Your eyes snapped down to see what the issue was but its like some invisible force was keeping your wrists down on the table.
Eyes narrowing, you turn them over to Loki who ate calmly while ‘listening’ to the others speak. You knew it had to be his magic and no matter how much you tried freeing your wrists, they wouldn’t led up.
‘’Loki’’ you hiss with a hushed tone as you tried getting his attention. He calmly ate and paid no mind until you used your knee to pretty much whack his.
‘’hmm?’’ he hummed calmly with a relaxed expression as he turned to look at you.
‘’you’re doing this.’’
‘’am I?’’
‘’cut it out, now’’ you whisper, as your cheeks redden while his eyes looked you up and down to see what the problem was.
‘’I have no idea what you are referring to love’’ he shrugs with a sigh and goes back to eating.
Your arm aches as you attempt to lift it, almost having half the urge to whack him if your arm would have freed for a second but it was no use. You knew it was to get back at you for what you said, and you genuinely felt bad as your eyes looked down, swallowing your pride. Taking a breath, you looked over at him with your voice low.
‘’alright, I’m sorry for what I said.. it was uncalled for and I take it back.. you have no one to compete with, you’re far more advanced and worthy to have all the sweet rolls you wish in this world.’’ It was a half joke, full awkward apology but it came with your personality. As if in perfect timing, you glance at Thor who was practically drowning himself with the gravy and you felt 100 percent grateful for Loki being who he is.
A small disgusted look came to Loki’s face as he ironically glanced at his brother at the same time before you saw his shoulders lower with a small sigh and he looked at you. ‘’you are forgiven mortal’’ he half teased back with a gentle expression before he plucked the roll from your hand.
Honestly, he deserved it so you made no fuss when he took it back, however you noticed how you still couldn’t move your wrists. ‘’.. can you led up now?’’ you asked and your cheeks heated up when he brought the bread to your mouth.
‘’I think you still need to make up for your little comment’’ he smirked as he waited for you to take a bite.
Your hesitation made you lose eye contact with him but your body tensed when you felt a hand on your knee, eyes snapping back to him. he loved it when you got shy and flustered. ‘’what are you-‘’
‘’with each bite you refuse from me, my hand will get higher.’’ He said calmly and took a small bite from it first. ‘’it’s not poisoned if that’s what you’re thinking.’’ He smirked and you looked back at the roll as he raised it to your lips.
Most of you honestly didn’t want to eat if that be the case, but for your own good you took a breath and took a bite.
‘’good girl.. after all, I wouldn’t want you to starve..’’

Christmas Wishes
Pairing: Loki/Reader
Warnung: Smut, Couch Sex, Rough Sex
Materlist Here!
"Are you sure it's okay if you stay here? You can come with me and Vision too," Wanda offered Y/N gently, making her smile as she shook her head.
"Wanda, it's really fine for me to stay here, besides who else is going to watch the Grinch?" she asked with amusement, "I promised Tony for this and I'm honestly glad I have a job other than sorting letters all the time."
She smiled faintly, feeling a little depressed by the situation as she had no family or boyfriend. Her friends all lived in the Tower and were part of the Avengers. Y/N had been a trained and qualified agent of SHIELD until the collapse, after which Tony hired her as an assistant. She was grateful to him, even though it hadn't been her dream, after all she was qualified for more, but she told herself it was only until she found something better.
"Alright, but if there's anything, let me know right away," Wanda asked her and she nodded in response.
"Now go, before Vision and you miss the Quinjet, Tony doesn't like to wait," she said with a laugh and her friend rolled her eyes.
"Good...I'll see you soon and don't forget to open your present," she said before they both said goodbye to each other. Y/N watched the jet take off before she went back to her room. There was a present on her bed that must be from Wanda; she carefully picked it up and unwrapped it as she sat down on the bed. She took the lid off the box and saw a small oblong box underneath. Y/N took the box and opened it. Inside was a gold bracelet with an emerald in the center and a note. Y/N placed the bracelet on the bed and read the note: "When I saw the bracelet, I thought of you. She shook her head with a smile and then put the bracelet on. The bracelet was beautiful. After a moment of looking at the bracelet, she got up and went to the kitchen. It was pretty unlikely that she would see Loki, he hardly ever came out of his room. Her luck. Y/N looked around the fridge and sighed as she grabbed the leftovers from last night's dinner and put them in the microwave. While the food was warming, she decided to make herself some cocoa. Cup in hand, she leaned against the kitchen island and stared at the wall. She probably should have just accepted Wanda's offer and celebrated Christmas with her, then she wouldn't be alone in the sense that Loki couldn't be counted as company. But that wouldn't have been fair of her, after all, it was Wanda and Vision's first Christmas together as a couple. The beeping of the microwave made her flinch and she put the cocoa down so she could take the food out.
"What's that?" she heard a voice behind her, making her flinch again because she hadn't heard someone come in, and she dropped the plate on the countertop. Luckily for her, it was only a few centimeters and it remained intact. Y/N then turned to see Loki standing behind her, looking at the cocoa. "Some kind of this coffee?"
Y/N furrowed her brow in confusion at the words, taking a moment to realize it. Why did he even care? It wasn't like he had ever even spoken a word to her. Finally, she shook her head and looked at him more closely. Now she saw that he was only wearing a pair of black pants. His chest was bare and she could hardly take her eyes off his muscular chest. He was attractive, she knew that already, but seeing him like this, he was more than sexy. Thor couldn't even hold a candle to him in that case. God, what was she even thinking about? He was a criminal. His hair was damp and she was sure he'd come out of the shower. He cleared his throat and pulled her out of her trance. Only now did she realize she hadn't answered and felt the blood rise to her cheek. "Um...it's cocoa," she breathed softly. She felt ridiculous for reacting the way she did. Loki lifted the cup and sipped it.
"Sweet," he said with a smirk on his lips as he licked it. Y/N bit her lip lightly and held onto the countertop. Loki set the cup down and stepped up to her. She pressed herself closer to the countertop, which of course he noticed. "Is that fear?" Her breathing became shallower the closer he got. It definitely wasn't fear, but excitement. She could feel her panties getting wetter and she felt ashamed. She turned away from him when he was only a few inches away and brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I'm not afraid of you, Loki," she said, trying to make her voice sound normal, but gasped softly when she felt him right behind her, his breath brushing the back of her neck. His hands rested next to hers on the work surface. His lips were close to her ear.
"I'm not," she breathed, pushing against him to push him away, but when she did, he wrapped his arm around her and held her to him. "Let me fucking go..." She tried to get him off her and tried to punch him, but he stopped her and held her wrists.
"I expected more from an agent," he breathed into her ear and kissed her neck softly. She closed her eyes slightly and took a deep breath. "Tell me you don't want me and I'll let you, but if you want me, I promise you it will be the night of your life." His words excited her, but she couldn't act on them. He was her job. "Agree and I'll fuck you until all you know is my name." She stopped trying to get out of his grip and he let go of her wrists. As soon as his grip loosened, she turned in his arm and stood on her tiptoes before her lips gently brushed his. He placed his hands on her back and deepened the kiss slightly. "I knew you'd agree." Y/N looked up at him slightly and smiled before she stepped firmly on his lip to and on his foot.
Loki hadn't expected this and let her go. She immediately stepped back and grabbed her food and cocoa before walking out of the kitchen. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Loki leaning against the kitchen island with one hand and his jaw tensed. She bit her lip lightly at the thought of the kiss when she had left. Of course it was arousing what he had done, but she didn't want to join in his game so that he could brag afterwards that he had had something with her. She went into the living room and put both on the table. Leaning back in the sofa, she gazed at the emerald on the bracelet and smiled faintly.
"God," she moaned softly as she closed her eyes. She shouldn't have let the situation with Loki get this far in the first place.
"You know, that wasn't very nice," Loki's voice suddenly breathed in her ear, startling her. Y/N stood up and glared at him as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"What kind of fucking game is this, Loki? Just leave me alone," she said before simply walking out of the room. She could hear his footsteps behind her, but tried to ignore it until a hand grabbed her by the arm and spun her around.
"What game are you talking about?" he asked, but she tried to get out of his grip again, instead Loki pushed her against the wall. "Answer me."
"You've never spoken a word to me, Loki. What else am I supposed to think this is but you just wanting me so you can make a fool of me in front of everyone later?" she asked softly, looking down. Loki didn't want that though and put a finger under her chin to make her look at him.
"I never spoke to you because they told me not to, Y/N. Now that they're gone, I wanted to take my chance," he said, smiling mischievously, "It would be our secret if you let me." His hands lightly stroked down her body and she savored his touch as he pressed himself against her body for good measure and she could feel his hard erection. Y/N moaned softly and grabbed his shoulders. "All you have to do is say yes..."
"Yes," she breathed softly. Without hesitation, Loki lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around his hips. She couldn't and wouldn't fight her desires any longer. Who could blame her. He began to kiss her neck and suck on her skin as well.
His hands roamed under her shirt and stroked her there until he opened her pants and slipped a hand inside. Y/N moaned as he stroked her through her panties.
"So wet for me...I knew it," he said with a grin, pulling the panties aside to fondle her pussy properly.
"L-Loki," she moaned, clawing at his hair. He didn't seem to waste any time and pushed two fingers into her wet pussy. She moved one hand to his back and lightly clawed his shoulder. His fingers thrust deep and fast into her as his thumb rubbed her clit.
"Such a good girl," he hummed in satisfaction. She threw her head back and enjoyed his fingers thrusting into her; it made her imagine what his cock would feel like inside her.
"Take me," she moaned as his fingers continued to thrust into her. She wanted more. Suddenly his fingers stopped and he pulled out of her. Y/N gasped and moaned at the loss. She barely noticed as he carried her back into the living room and laid her on the sofa. Loki reached for the waistband of her pants and pulled them down with her panties. She looked up at him and waited to see what he would do. He lay on top of her as he kissed her passionately and grabbed her wrists, holding them in one hand above her head. His free hand traveled back down and caressed her pussy again. "I want you..."
"Tell me exactly what you want," he said, looking into her eyes.
"I want you to fuck me properly, show me how much better you are than the men on Midgard," she moaned and spread her legs wider for him. Loki moaned and let her hands go before pulling her shirt over her head and unzipping his pants. Y/N took advantage of the moment and slipped her hand inside before stroking his cock until he grabbed her hand and slid his pants down. She watched as he took himself in hand and rubbed the tip at her entrance.
"I'll ruin you for any other man," he groaned, thrusting into her in one swift thrust. Y/N moaned loudly and clawed at his back with her nails. "Norns...you're so fucking tight around me."
She had thrown her head back, savoring the feel of him. "I love how big you feel inside me..." She lifted her hips to show him she was ready. Loki pulled out of her almost completely, down to the tip, before thrusting back into her pussy hard.
"If I had known how good it would feel, I would have taken you much sooner," he moaned and continued to thrust into her. Y/N moaned his name again and again as she sank completely into the feeling of him filling her. His hands gripped her sides tightly, pulling her against him with each thrust. She knew she would be completely sore tomorrow, but it was definitely more than worth it. Y/N wrapped her legs around him and moaned in satisfaction.
"Oh god," she moaned as he continued, thrusting hard into her pussy. Her fingers dug into his back. "Don't stop, Loki." Y/N could already feel her orgasm building inside her. He let one of her sides go and move between their bodies so he could rub her clit. She tightened around him and moaned.
He kept going and sat up slightly so that he was thrusting into her at a new angle, hitting her G-spot with every single thrust. She barely managed to hold back her climax, even though she didn't want it to stop. It was just great the feeling of him taking her and she was already aware that he was making good on his promise to ruin her for every man. "Come for me, Y/N, come for my cock," he said, thrusting into her hard with every word.
Unexpectedly, she came around him and began to tremble from the force of the sensation. Loki continued to thrust into her until she came down from her orgasm and then thrust deep into her one last time, filling her with his cum. Y/N moaned loudly at the sensation and breathed heavily. When she opened her eyes, she looked up at him and pulled her on top of him to kiss him passionately.
"That was definitely as promised," she breathed against his lips and stroked his cheek gently. Loki grinned and stroked her bracelet with his thumb.
"And the night isn't over yet...But first, one more question, if I may," he said and she hummed in response, "Do you like my gift?" She looked at him in confusion and saw that he was looking at her bracelet and then recognized it.
"It's from you? Not from Wanda?" Loki shook his head.
"Wanda's present is under the tree. The bracelet is from me," he said with a grin. She took a deep breath and then smiled.
"I love it," she said and kissed him softly.
"Merry Christmas," Loki said against her lips. She pulled him back down to her and kissed him again. Spending the holidays here was better than she had thought after all.

Hey there! Could I please request Loki x reader where the reader is just having a day where they’re really sad for no reason and Loki picks up on that and comforts them and lets her cry in his arms?? ☹️🫶🏻
(or if you already have something like that you could just link it or smthn idm!)
Just a bad day
Loki x reader comfort
You were at the balcony that day, it wasn’t a rare sight but it was out of place when you did it in the afternoon where you usually took a nap or did something activity to keep yourself busy.
But today you just sat there silently.
Loki walked in the room and went directly to where you’re sitting "dove?"
You didn’t respond, very unlike you. Loki lifted your chin with his finger and made you look at him, your eyes were teary and your cheeks were stained, his demeanor changed quickly as his arms brought you close to his chest Protectively.
"I want names"
You sniffed shaking your head "no one hurt me, I promise…I’m just not feeling that bright today"
His shoulders slumped down a little "Why is that my dove?"
You shrugged "I guess it’s just one of those days…sorry"
"Don’t be…come on, let’s you cuddled up maybe that would help"
Loki basically lifted you off the ground like princess and laid with you on the wide couch in the living room, he dimmed the bright lights of the room and carded your head.
"You should’ve come seeking if you hadn’t felt so well my sweet dove" he mumbled.
You shook your head and cling to his best hiding your face "no…I’m not sick and I don’t want to burden you with my silly feelings"
"Hush you! If you say that ever again I will not forgive you" he held you tighter.
You stayed quiet afterwards, letting what’s left of your tears fall down, damping his top but not feeling so alone anymore.
Loki stayed with you in his arms all afternoon and until you fell asleep, when he was sure you’re deep into your sleep he carried you back to your room.
He kissed your forehead and sat beside your bed with a book in hand, reading until his body gave up and woke up the next day with a blanket on his lap and you walking back in the bedroom looking more alive than ever.
"I brought us breakfast" you said softly, carrying a tray filled with food.
He sighed in relief before smiling back at you and sitting up straight "Good morning little dove"
"Good morning Loki" you chuckled.

Surprise, Surprise
A/N- Please keep in mind, this is my first time writing a Reader Insert. So, I'm sorry in advance if this isn't that good.
Loki x Fem!Reader
F/F= Favorite Food
Imagine on the elevator, Thor talks to Loki about a girl he met while on Midgard, having no idea that girl happened to be Loki girlfriend of 6 years, you.
Tumblr media
"I'm sorry, my lady." Thor's voice booms throughout the kitchen after having bumped into you after turning away from the fridge. You smiled softly and nodded your head in thanks. "It's no problem Thor." you said. "Would you like to have lunch with me, my lady? Everyone seems to be out of the Compound at the moment." Thor asks in a surprisingly soft voice. "Why the hell not? My name is Y/N L/N, by the way." You smiled widely. "It is nice to meet you, lady Y/N. What would you like to eat?" Thor grins, gesturing to open-planned kitchen in the Avengers Compound. "I'll just take a plate of F/F from the fridge, Thor. Thank you." You spoke before sitting at the dinning room table, as Thor plated both you and him some F/F. After heating both plates up, Thor flopped into the chair next to the one you were sitting in, after putting both plates on the table. You and Thor got to know one another as you both ate. Loki had told you about Thor and stories about when they were little, but you didn't think Thor would have such Golden Retriever energy based off of what Loki had said. You guys eventually went separate ways as Thor said he was off to the gym. You bid goodbyes as you went back to Loki's room. As you arrived at Loki's room, you could see him walking down the hall towards the Elevator. "I'm going to get a new book, my Queen." Loki spoke softly but loud enough for you to hear, without turning around, as if sensing your confusion. "Ok, I'll be in your bedroom, my King." You spoke before heading into Loki's room and closing the door.
Loki got to the elevator the same time as Thor, and coincidentally the Library and gym are one floor apart. Going the same way, down. Thor held the elevator doors open for his brother which had Loki nodding his thanks. "I met such a wonderful maiden today, brother." Thor announced as the elevator doors closed. Loki raised an eyebrow in question, which Thor noticed. "Why yes, she was the upmost kind and sweet woman I've ever met. I think you would love her. She has a mischievous side but also has a kind and caring nurture to her. I think you and her would get along great after some of the pranks she told me she's pulled on her older brother." Thor explained with a bright smile. "Who is this, you speak of Thor?" Loki questioned with genuine curiosity. "Her name was Y/N L/N. She was brilliant, she was." Thor spoke, with wild gestures of his hands, before smiling at his brother. "I think you and her would get along great." He added quickly, noticing Loki's amusement to the situation. Loki nodded with a mischievous sparkle to his eyes. "I'll keep that in mind, brother. Thank you." He spoke with a hint of a smile pulling at his lips. "No problem, brother." Thor grinned while giving Loki a pat on the back.
As Thor and Loki went their separate ways once arriving to the destined floor, Loki smiled to himself, a genuine smile, just thinking about you and thinking he's ready to tell the team about you. He knows you're the one for him. You complete him. You make him feel things he's never felt before. You are the love of his life. He doesn't know what he would do without you. You make him a better person. Loki is happy for the first time in what feels like forever because of you. He is beyond grateful he met you. He would go to the end of the Nine Realms for you. He would kill for you. He would do anything you asked of him. You have him wrapped around your finger like there is no tomorrow.

Tumblr media
Carefully prying the window open, you slip inside the room that's given you nightmares for the past few months. Okay, perhaps they're the exact opposite of nightmares - they're beautiful dreams of you and him dancing, smiling, laughing in this very room. But they remind you of what you've lost, each and every moment haunting you like a ghost.
You look around - almost everything is exactly as you remember, though slightly more unkempt and rather... lifeless. This room alone used to be warm and bright and lived in, the walls full of colour and the air full of sweet smells of food or perfume. 
But now the air holds a biting cold; long, dark shadows spread across the floor and walls, sucking out all of the colour that once lit up your life. You can only smell him - that heavenly yet poignant aroma that sits quietly on blankets void of warmth and surfaces void of use. The bed looks slept in, but only on one side: your side. You sigh as those familiar daggers begin to prod once more at your scarred heart.
You daren't venture further into the house, lest your resolve finally crumbles at the sight of it all; or, perhaps worse, if he is here. As much as you'd love to see him, you don't know what you'll say. It's inevitable for him to have many questions, but the answer lies in the letter you hold tightly in your clammy hands, your grip slightly creasing the edges of the envelope.
This damned letter... it had taken weeks to create. Weeks of procrastination and nights with paper on your lap and a pen in your hand attempting to find the right words. There was many a time you planned on ditching it and moving on with your life, but giving him an explanation as to why you suddenly disappeared is the very least you can do.
You inhale deeply, eyes flitting over every inch of dusty surface to find a spot to place this envelope where he'll see it. You had thought about posting it - it would be easier and he'd definitely find it. But you didn't want it to get lost in transit and you're not sure if you could've scraped together enough to buy a stamp; you would've had to have skipped a meal for the sixth time that week. Delivering it yourself is also an excuse for you to say goodbye one final time.
There's a creak as the door opens; you automatically fall into a fighting stance, turning to face the intruder. 
But it's not an intruder at all.
He's frozen in the doorway, his once vibrant green eyes now muted in colour as his gaze flits over you.
"Y/n?" He asks quietly.
"Loki..." You breathe. His face is sunken, his cheekbones more defined and the twinkle in his eyes has been snuffed out. Deep, grey eyebags sit uncomfortably under his eyes and his once luscious, ebony hair hangs limp and greasy around his face.
And yet, as much as his dishevelled appearance disturbs you, he's also just as beautiful as when you first met him.
He takes a step forwards; cautiously, as if you may just disappear in a puff of smoke.
"Where have you been?" His voice is strained, tears welling in his eyes.
You take a short breath, unsure if you're still able to breathe. You don't know what to say; don't know how to answer. He's hurt. So hurt. And it's all because of you. He's left call after call and voicemails galore, all of which you've ignored. He can't be involved in this. You can't let him get injured - or worse - because of you. Though, you realise now, that perhaps it would've been less painful for him to have followed you to the grave.
You shake the thought away. This is better for him. He'll get over it, move on and find someone who actually deserves him.
You can't find the words to respond, your mouth opening and closing stupidly as streaks of despair slowly etch into your face.
"Please answer me," He cries. "I've been looking for you everywhere, I've called hundreds of times, I've done everything I can think of! You just disappeared as if you were never here. I didn't even know if you were alive, Y/n,"
A single tear slips silently down your face, resting on the pillow of your cheek. Words still evade you, thoughts coming and going in a jumbled up mess.
"It's been months! Months since you disappeared without a trace, leaving me here all alone! Do you not understand how hard that's been for me?" His anger has started to bleed into his words and actions now; you don't blame him. You too would be angry and upset if he'd left without a goodbye, let alone an explanation.
You still stay silent, which just seems to rile him up further.
"Why aren't you speaking!? Is this all some way of torturing me? Did I do something to mess this all up?"
He lets out a choked sob, each word sending you further and further into a black hole of despondency.
"You know what? I really needed you," A single note of bitter laughter escapes his cracked, dry lips. "I needed you, and you weren't there!"
You swallow a lump in your throat, the room falling silent save for Loki's deep breathing. There's a pang of pain in your heart as you decide what you're going to do. Reaching over to a nearby bookshelf, you drop the letter on the nearest shelf and look back to the God, tears freefalling down both faces.
"I'm so sorry, Loki," Your voice won't come out louder than a whisper. 
He opens his mouth to speak, but you turn on your heel and jump through the window and onto the streets before you have a chance to hear his voice anymore. You can hear him calling after you, but don't dare to look back as you run down the street, dipping into a narrow, abandoned alley.
Your hand covers your mouth as you slide down the dirty wall of the building, stifling your sobs as everything begins to unravel. You don't know what to do. Your head keeps telling you to move; to leave Loki to live his life. He'll get better. He'll find happiness.
But your heart wants you to run back to him and make it all better again.
You pull out your phone and dial your voicemail, giving in to the temptation of the many messages Loki had left you.
"Hi love, it's Loki. Where are you? I just arrived home-"
You listen to each and every one, allowing the tears to fall harder and faster as you hear him become more frantic; more desperate. Until finally, the last one plays.
"Please Y/n. Please answer my calls. I-" There's a deep, shuddering breath on the other end of the line. "I love you so, so much. I can't lose you. Please, just... just come home,"
A long beep signals the end of the voicemail, leaving you feeling more alone than ever.

SFW Alphabet - Detective David Loki
This is kinda long, but i love him your honor s/o for the list template
SHARING IS CARING, SO PLEASE REBLOG
Tumblr media
A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)
-  It would take a lot to get to that point since he’s mostly been a loner/outcast;
- There’s definitely a facet of him that craves affection since he’s been shown it so little growing up. He didn’t have much of it, so it’s rare and usually psychologically related to basic human needs like
- Making the most minimal noise when he has to get up earlier than you and you’re still asleep. Having been deprived of it in his tough childhood, he knows how sweet sleep can be and wants you to relish in it even though he can’t;
- Giving food is his love language
- He’ll surprise you by bringing home your favorite sweet from your favorite bakery if he knows you had a bad day
- He’ll be nonchalant about it too (even though you know for a fact he went out of his way to get it because it’s on the other side of town)
- “I was picking up some lab results and figured I’d stop by. It was on the way back”
- No, it was not, but that’s ok because you know he’s as lowkey like his name
- He’s not big on PDA, he’s just not wired that way
- Not because he hates it, more like because he’s insecure of it
- He didn’t have great examples of it growing up. His dad was abusive in the few years he lived with his family before he was sent to Huntington’s Boys Home after his teacher called CPS when he showed up at school with cigarette burns
- He’s naturally alert because of his job. It’s a sixth sense he’s developed overtime, so he’ll hold your hand when you’re crossing the street and brings you to the side where cars aren’t approaching from in case of accidents, keep you on the inside part of the sidewalk further from the road, maybe a hand around your waist or on the small of your back or on your thigh in the car
- it’s minimal but present in public (unless he’s jealous of someone)
- He’s very affectionate with you though in private
- He likes the closeness, even if it’s just sitting on the couch, going through his files or paperwork while you do your nails or something
B = Best friend (what would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)
- He’s not the most sociable person, so I wouldn’t expect him to show up to every party or get-together
- He meets up for a beer/coffee to keep in touch from time to time
- He’s a good friend, great to talk to and very understanding although his tick will sorta give him away when you’re oversharing
- He won’t admit it, he’ll let you go on because he knows you need it and he’s okay with that because you’re not just anyone
- He doesn’t have many friends after all
- He’s just not the best at giving advices so he feels uncomfortable knowing that he’s not much help
- You probably go way back because making new friends gets harder as you get older and he’s not very social
- You met at a pizza place where you worked at together back in high school
C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? how would they cuddle)
- He fucking loves them
- Will not admit it because he’s lived without them for a long time, but that’s also why he fucking loves them
- He hates how vulnerable they make him feel but enjoys that he can finally feel that
- He never had many chances to let himself be vulnerable
- He’s the protector and not usually the protected so it feels nice to let his guard down but it does scare him a bit
- Being the big spoon indulges his natural masculine instinct, but if you hold him (either being the big spoon for him or letting him rest his head on your chest with your arms around you) he will cry inside
- That will most likely happen when he’s had long days working on troubling cases
- They take a mental toll on him, especially child-related cases
- Also, I personally believe he’s got a couple mommy issues
- She left his dad when he was young
- As an adult, he can understand why she left but there’s definitely a longing for warmth (emotionally) that he forced himself to bury deep down
D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)
Cleanliness
- His cleaning is on point
- He doesn’t have OCD, but he’s a bit of a neat freak
- He’s not anal about where the toothpaste is left, just as long as its’ cap is on if that makes sense?
- He doesn’t like leaving things to do later unless he absolute has to (thank you, traumatic childhood)
- He likes to do the dishes right after dinner
- His job doesn’t allow him a lot of time to clean his home, so he hires someone to clean like once every two weeks
- It’s a lot easier but he maintains the cleanliness quite well
- He’s really good at ironing in emergencies too
- He irons his uniforms for work but he hates it (and he hates wearing them so he’ll only wear them if he really has to)
- He barely has time and mental sanity to sleep, let alone iron clothes
- If he has to wear them for work, it’s hello dry-cleaning
- The neat freakiness doubles at work
- He does not like others rearranging his stuff, using his mug
-  “Hey, man. Sorry to sound like a dick, but that’s my mug. Y/N got me that ‘detective of the year’ mug for my birthday and it’s kinda special”
-He won’t be explosive if someone borrows a pen without asking, but don’t touch the man’s files. this is critical. He just likes to know where his shit is
- his time in the boy's home definitely disciplined him to always have his bed made, keep his things neat and minimal
- he probably has like one nice cologne, one deodorant and his usual hair gel on the sink of his bathroom
-  he doesn’t have much and he’s okay with that
- having too many options seemed a little extra to him, but as you gift him with bath sets and shaving kits, he starts to warm up to the “ treat yo self” idea a lil bit (he’s learning and it’s a process. he’s getting there ok)
Cooking
- He’s not the best at cooking
-He barely had food in his fridge when you’d met and he lived on take out
- He didn’t really care much about taste or nutrition, only that it made his stomach stop growling and eliminated the headache creeping in because that was the only time he actually remembered to eat
- Has the weirdest combinations of sandwiches like mayo with peanut butter and cheddar
- After he met you, he genuinely started giving it more effort
- Don’t expect anything fancy
- His dishes are comfort and casual, but overall tasty
- Pasta dishes are his best because they’re quick and easy to make
- He secretly wants to learn how to make homemade pasta but he gets overwhelmed just reading the recipes and happily settles for storebought
- He did try once to impress you on valentine’s day
-It was very romantic, you had wine and cooked together but the pasta was terrible so you happily resorted to pizza.
Does he want to settle down?
- uhm the idea scared him to death
- It reminds him of his own upbringing and he despised his dad
- He doesn’t want to become him but he also wants a chance to have a real family
- It’s an internal conflict
- If he does have a child, it’s certainly not planned
- He’s always envied other kids who had that traditional white Christmas and thanksgiving family dinners, so he does get excited about getting to have that
- He’s been so used to being on his own, it’s been his comfort zone and he didn’t mind it until the baby surprised everyone
- Scared shitless and contemplates disappearing, but he doesn’t wanna be a deadbeat like his dad
- Warms up to the idea that he has the opportunity to be different and everything his dad wasn’t
- Gets secretly excited about creating traditions
- He doesn’t hate the holidays as much as before and gets into the spirit a little
- Buys a garland for his door near Christmas, a couple fake pumpkins on Halloween for the porch
- The mini Christmas tree you put up and decorated together on your first Christmas together is a huge step up already
- After meeting you, he’s slowly warming up to the idea of settling down because he finally feels safe
- proud pushover dad
E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)
- His job means everything to him
- Being able to protect means being able to provide what he didn’t have as a child, so it’s very personal
- He hasn’t had many serious relationships; most were just flings with no strings attached to make things easy
- The first time you broke up was after a fight on his absence and priorities
- He can be very impatient when frustrated
- He brought it up first and very heatedly suggested to just end things to make easier on both of you
- But he felt your absence more than he expected to and regretted his words every time he’d come home and not find you there
- It made him realize that he was in deep shit and loved you more than he thought, so he came running back to you with flowers and the shyest but the sincerest apology
 - “I know I fucked up. What I said was stupid. I was stupid. It was in the heat of the moment and I’m sorry. It’s no excuse, but I need you to know that for the longest time, it’s been just me and that was what I knew. But I need you. I need you back. And it’s fine if you don’t want to, I can accept that. I just need you to know that I’m willing to change. I just need you to understand that this is new to me, having someone... I am trying. It might not happen overnight, but   I-I’ll get there”
- His eyes were blinking hard the whole time and he couldn’t barely look at you due to the guilt
- Homeboy was hurting but he’s a rock, or at least he feels he needs to pretend to be
F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)
- He has spent years running from it
- Flings were much easier because no attachment = no hurt
- You started off a fling, it was super casual just meeting for beers or coffee and always ending in sex
- There was a pull that kept leading him to your place after his shifts and it just kept going
- Being with you soon became the easiest and nicest part of his day
- It scared him so he distanced himself a bit
- It confused the fuck outta you so you confronted him about it since you’d felt like you’d done something wrong
- “You’re everything that’s right and I don’t know what to do. I never had someone so good and I’m scared you’ll realize you deserve better”
- It hurt to know that he didn’t think he was good enough for you, but you respected his timing and kept things casual until he was ready to take it to the next level and he couldn’t be more grateful to have some as patient and comprehensive as you
G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)
- I wouldn’t say he’s gentle, but he’s definitely a little soft-spoken and more attentive around you
- He does not want to disrespect you in the slightest
- He loved his mom more than anything
- He saw her suffer in his father’s hands and he never wants to make his partner fear him
- The first time you kissed, he asked for your permission. The first time he took your top off, he asked for permission.
- After you became more familiar, he didn’t ask for it verbally
- It would be in the form of him gently tugging on your top or pants or staring at your lips
- He definitely has game and was a huge flirt tho
- In arguments or stressful situations, he can be hot-headed due to his temper
- He’s not violent and you’ve never felt unsafe around him
H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)
- Physical affection is not his main love language
- The first would be quality time, the second is acts of service. Physical affection would probably be third
- He doesn’t hate hugs, he just doesn’t allow himself to be constantly emotionally vulnerable and won’t accept them from just anyone (only you)
- But when he’s had a long day or is working a disturbing case, he will seek you out and hug you in silence for a long moment
- He loves it when you notice he’s not ok and wrap your arms around him, cradling his head against your chest or your stomach
- A couple of very painful cases that he will carry with him for the rest of his life have broken him down to the point where just your warm hug made him cry
- It was silent for the rest of the night but you did not leave him
I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)
- Ohhhhhh you thought he’d never say it
- You’d said it before well into your relationship and said it was okay if he didn’t say it back
- You just wanted him to know that he was loved
- It took him forever to build the courage because he was so afraid getting comfortable and then not having you around anymore after that, so in his head, your absence wouldn’t hurt as much if he hadn’t said it
- His emotional guard was sky-high up
- He’d overheard you unintentionally on the phone talking to a close friend about it and how scared you were for maybe jumping the gun or scaring him off
- He hated that it made you self-conscious because he did love you
- Weeks after hearing your conversation, he crawled into bed after a long day unsure if you were asleep and he just whispered it, followed with a peck on the back of your head
- You wanted to squeal with happiness, but he was so subtle about it and you didn’t want to overwhelm him
- You smiled softly as you turned your head to look back at him and kissed him tenderly before snuggling up to rest
- Mad sex ensued the following morning
J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)
- It’s funny because he’s mature enough to understand that you are attractive and that means people will obviously look, but he will not, for the love of all that is sacred, admit that he’s jealous
- Expect snarky remarks
- “Maybe you should ask your new pal at work, I’m sure he’d know”
- If this person is nearby like the time the cashier at the local grocery store kept checking you out, he will scare stare them down – tick blinking in effect – and get instinctively defensive
- “Are you alright? Do you have a problem?”
- If it’s a co-worker, he will make the effort of picking you up some days of the weeks to make his presence known, even if he has to drop you off at home and go back to the station
- He will have his badge and gun exposed on his hip as he purposely waits for you outside the car
- It’s purely strategically to intimidate
- But if someone disrespects you, he will get physical (police brutality warning)
- Might arrest them for harassment
 K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?) (WARNING: gets a lil hot here)
- Really depends on the moment
- If you’re going at it, he will kiss you hungrily and it’s why he loves missionary
- They’re not sloppy kisses, he’s really good at it and enjoys the feeling of his lips molding against yours
- If he’s working his pace up, they will be on your neck or shoulder
- Aside from that, they’re usually just small pecks
-Always before he leaves
- If you’re asleep in bed, it’s on your head
 - Getting dressed for work? Making breakfast? Walking to your car? There’s always a goodbye peck
- He will not leave without it and he will assume you’re mad at him about something if you leave him hanging
- He looooooves to be kissed on the forehead
- He's almost never been kissed there but they make him feel so safe, loved and appreciated and he tears up a little bit
- Rubs his eyes to hide it
- Chest kisses and back kisses are very appreciated too, especially if you’re cuddling
- He will melt like cotton candy in water
L = Little ones (How are they around children?
- He is adequately awkward around them lmao
- It’s not that he doesn’t like kids, he has not been around them enough to know how to act
- He gets self-conscious
- Treats them like they’re mini-adults when his co-workers bring their kids to work
- “Tough day, huh, kid? How about another round of Nesquik?”
- Teaches them how to identify a real or fake badge for future safety purposes
- Babies are his nightmare, but he learns how to deal with them quick when you teach him and that little human has him wrapped around their tiny fingers upon first sight
- Will absolutely teach his children how to use and shoot a gun
- He’ll be damned if his kids aren’t taught how to defend themselves
- “Ballet? No, let’s get her into Judo or Muay Thai”
M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)
- They are rare unfortunately
- Sometimes, he’s coming home in the morning when you’re getting ready for work
- It’s kinda good because you can at least have breakfast together before you leave and he crashes for sleep
- If his phone rings before he’s up, you already know he’s gotta go so you’ll get up to put on some coffee for him as he gets ready
- You wish he could have more opportunities to sleep in
- You appreciate every second of the morning when you do get to be together
- He’ll make jokes as he shaves and you brush your teeth
- His bathroom is not big enough for two people at the same time, but you both kinda like the lack of space
- He is not shy
- Will absolutely use the toilet even if you’re in the shower and does not mind if you do the same, although he will tease you for it
N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)
- They’re not much different from the mornings
- Sometimes, he’s leaving for work as you’re coming home
- But more often than not, he’s home at night and sometimes he’s late
- His favorite days are when he comes home early, in time for dinner or in time to actually help make dinner
- He kinda likes cooking now but doesn’t get too adventurous to avoid wasting food
- If you’re home together, it’s a pretty cozy night
- Watch some TV together, cuddle on the couch and talk about your days
- it's the simple small things that mean the most
Open (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)
- This man makes peeling onions with a spoon look easy
- Layers upon layers upon layers
- He’s not used to opening up about anything
- He started slowly when he first realized how important you were to him
- Didn’t talk about his family until during your wedding planning inn the engagement phase and it still caused a fight
- You pressed him to do so and he got angry because he doesn’t like talking about his asshole of a father or his mom walking out
- It’s too emotional and he didn’t really work that shit out in him yet, just kinda put it in a locked box on a shelf and left it in the back of his mind
- It’s a lot to unpack and he hadn’t spoken  about it in decades
- He didn't just cry that night, he sobbed
P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)
- Are you serious? The man has resting bitch face syndrome
- His frown is his standard
- He kinda reminded you of the old man from Up
- He has patience, but nothing lasts forever and he’s only a man
- Before he met you, he didn’t have much of it
- After he met you, he’s learned to have a little more
- Just the fact that he acknowledges that he had so little of it is already a major step up
- He tries, ok?
Q = Quizzes (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)
- EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL
- His memory is the fucking best
- Dates, habits, preferences
- It kinda gets on your nerves sometimes because he’ll also remember that you ate the last piece of his favorite cheesecake and tried to hide it
- Or that you already watched the new episode of the series you’re watching together on Netflix
- He’s not a child about it, but he likes to wait and see how long it’d take you to confess it just for fun, dropping hints here and there
- But you always get flowers sent to you on your birthday and on special holidays  and everyone at work envies you for it
R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)
- Oh he has quite a few
- But it’s probably the first getaway trip you had
- He’d finished the paperwork and bureaucratic process of court dates the Dover-Birch case and you suggested taking a weekend off to spend at a lakeside inn in the country
- The drive there was his favorite moment as you sang along to your favorite songs
- Despite mocking you for knowing all the words to “I Want It That Way” by Backstreet Boys, he joined in and surprised you by knowing all the words too
- You were so excited about it and the whole experience made his heart melt
- It was a really nice bonding moment that he’d never really had
S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)
- He knows you can take care of yourself, so he’s not obsessive about it. He’s just seen a lot of shit from his cases, so he does worry
- Asks you to call him when you get home just to make sure you’re safe and worries when you don’t
- He knows you well so he can easily pick up on when you’re uncomfortable
- Won’t make a huge scene, but he will remove you from the situation if you can’t like if you’re at a dinner party and someone’s annoying you but you don't wanna be impolite (yes, he keeps his eyes on you just to make sure you're safe)
- If it’s a physical situation, like you’re at a gas station and someone angrily or drunkenly starts squaring up at you, he stays calm but immediately goes into cop mode to handle the situation and puts himself in the middle to shield you
- “Call the station and ask for a patrol car. Stay in the car with the keys no matter what. Do not get out, and drive away if you have to.”
- His instinct is to be a first responder, so he’ll handle it accordingly with procedure
- Since he’s usually doing the protecting, there aren’t many opportunities for him to be protected
- What he does admire though is how you protectively reach out over him if you’re driving and have to slam on the brakes unexpectedly to hold him back
- Or when you speak up for him like that one time his dish came with a hair in it at a restaurant
- He’d eaten worse as a kid, so he would’ve just taken it out and eaten the food
- But you didn’t let him and said it was unacceptable and politely asked the waiter for another
- He loves that you don’t let people take advantage of him
- He also loves it when girls notice his badge and flirt with him
- Like him, you know that he’s attractive and you trust him
- He doesn’t let it go on and makes it obvious that he’s not interested, but he likes knowing that you want him for yourself
T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)
- Previous to your relationship, he didn’t try at all
- But now, he feels guilty that he can’t be home all the time and can’t make it to special events
- So he does his best to make for it
- If he couldn’t celebrate Valentine’s day with you, he’ll take you out to a nice place when he’s free
- He never forgets your anniversaries, but his job is demanding and you gotta understand that to be with him
- He’ll get you gifts and have flowers sent to make you know that he didn’t forget
- As soon as he gets the chance to be with you, he’ll make it up
- As for everyday tasks, he tries his best
- If you drink coffee, he’ll leave the pot on to keep it warm for you
- He’ll make dinner beforehand if he has night shifts and leave you a plate wrapped in cellophane to keep it fresh for you to heat up when you get home
U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)
- Everyone’s got theirs and David is no different
- His number one bad habit undereating or just not taking care of himself when stressed. That involves not getting enough food and rest
- It just makes him even more stressed and naturally more prone to anger, which means his patience wears thin and it sometimes leads to arguments
- He brings his work home and will get very upset if you touch or go through his files because he doesn’t want you to see the shit he has to see
- Procrastination because it usually will be left up to you to see to whether it’s mundane house chores or errands  (he tries so hard to hold up his end though)
- Listening to respond because his mind is on his case and sometimes, he doesn’t realize it. It’s automatic and can be frustrating when you realize he’s not listening, but he does his best to control it and immediately snap out of it.
- Doesn’t happen too often, just when he’s got a lot on his mind
V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)
- He thought he was kinda vain with his tattoos and hair style
- Everyone at the station calls him Pretty boy and he is lowkey proud of it
- Keeps his hair trimmed and goes to the barber at least three times a month
- He knows he’s a hairy fellow and likes to look well-kept although he kinda wants to grow out his beard
- is worried the captain will tell him to shave it
- As for clothes, he’s pretty average and likes to lounge in his white tanks and sweatpants
- He’s not gonna wear a suit unless he absolutely has to (he draws the line at the tie)
- But he doesn’t walk around like a mess either
- He’s happy if he doesn’t look homeless lol
X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)
- he fucking loves sweets, they’re his kryptonite
- he almost never had sweets or desserts growing up, so if you bake this man a cake for his birthday, he will cry in the shower
- he’s not a fitness freak, but he goes work out a lil bit like 3 times a week just to stay sane and in shape
- eats the leftovers of your dish if you can't finish it (it's either because he doesn't like wasting food or because his eating habits are wack)
- he's a stubborn little shit sometimes
- loves conspiracy theories
- strongly believes that Princess Diana's death was no accident and adores her
- believes in aliens and don't even get him started on the chemtrails theory
- history channel and animal planet are his favorite channels
W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)
- I don’t think incomplete is the correct word to put it, but your absence would definitely hurt him
- He’d try his best to avoid thinking about it
- Would probably sleep at the station to avoid going home to an empty house
- He would bury himself in work, no doubt about that
- Swears off relationships for the next 10 years
- It would take a lot to fill your shoes so he’d rather just not try
Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)
- He would not like high-maintenance or snobby people
- He grew up running around barefoot, so he’s happy to have shoes that fit. Being with someone who can’t wear shoes that are slightly dirty is just not possible to him
- Racist people are not welcomed at all. PERIOD. He wishes he could lock them up solely for that
- Disrespectful people who are rude to service people. HUGE turn-off for him
- Not understanding or accepting his job and the disadvantages that come along with it
Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)
- Sleep? What is sleep? lol
- If he’s sleeping  alone, he hugs his pillow
- If it’s with you, he hugs you
- He’s a light sleeper but he falls asleep so fucking fast like in record time
- He’d got very cold feet and he’s self-conscious about them because he’s been teased about them before by an ex, so he’ll sleep with socks on in the winter
- He snores
- Not enough to shake the house, but he does snore a bit and will deny it until he dies even if you record him
- “Nah, that’s not- that’s edited! You edited it in and I don’t snore. Period. Case closed.”

So...Thoughts on the whole people thinking Sylvie is Aro-Ace? I can kinda see her being Aromantic, but with her mentioning she's more "hedonistic" than Loki and silently hinting that she's Bi too, can't really see her as Asexual. But what do you think?
LET'S TALK ABOUT SYLVIE'S SEXUALITY, HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH LOKI AND MOBIUS, & HER CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SERIES NARRATIVE
Before I answer this, I think it's important to acknowledge that fictional characters exist for people's comfort and pleasure. I write original fiction, and I would hope that most artists believe in the right of the audience to interpret character to meet their personal needs. To me, canon is a sandbox. Everyone should play with it as they please and not hate on each other. There are more important things in life to worry about. Therefore, if Sylvie reads as Aro-Ace to you and that reading brings you joy, then she is.
This question inherently requires the need to talk about Sylki in this post. I predominantly analyze Lokius, so please, no hate! My number one rule is never yucking someone's yum. Furthermore, Sylvie plays a critical role in Loki's development and the philosophical thrust of the series, of which Mobius also contributes to as the other half of Loki's character arc equation (selflessness and sparing life [Mobius] + free will and revolution [Sylvie]). It would be biased and disingenuous to not acknowledge her contributions to the overarching narrative.
ARO-ACE INTERPRETATION
All right, your question! I can definitely can see Sylvie as being aro-ace. That's a legitimate interpretation based on how she responds to Loki's flirtation and romantic advances. It is also possible that she's an aromantic bisexual. This second possibility is more likely based on the text the audience is given.
THE CANON TEXT
Having said that, I think you're curious about what the source material is trying to say about Sylvie's character and how that influences her sexuality. I believe it's important to remember that external behavior doesn't dictate how someone defines themselves. Closeting and disengagement from intimacy because of trauma are prime examples of this.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The train scene in S1E4 reads as earnest. Loki and Sylvie are both very lonely characters. In this moment, both are trying to connect with someone who finally understands them because they are the same. It's actually a lovely nod to the queer experience.
Tumblr media
The dialogue, lighting, and costuming (blue, purple, pink) in this scene communicates they are both queer, specifically bisexual. The lighting and costuming combining to represent the bisexual pride flag is an example of queer subtext in film. The dialogue, while direct, is also written in such a way that it avoids explicitly stating "men and women." Sylvie later comments that the brief flings she indulges in during apocalypses helped her "keep going". She even specifies that apocalypses make people desperate. This suggests that Sylvie likely didn't need to do much wooing or charming like Loki would to obtain a sexual partner. Finally, the way Tom and Sophie play this scene is vulnerable. I therefore believe we can take this on-screen admission at face value.
So the question becomes, why does Sylvie respond to Loki's flirtations the way she does?
SYLVIE'S BACKGROUND
Sylvie was orphaned and forced to run all her life from a very young age. Her backstory is deeply tragic. To live in such a way means that she never had the opportunity to experience adolescence.
Tumblr media
NOTE: This is honestly my favorite gif of Sylvie. She's so sweet and cute when she's happy. I can't get over the 5 stars on her employee badge. "Sylvie, can you refill the straws?" "Already did it!" The sweetheart.
Sylvie working at McDonald's accomplishes two things: it allows Disney to fulfill their advertising sponsorship agreement for the fast-food franchise, and it subtly alludes to Sylvie's need to live the adolescence she didn't get to. The TVA forced her into arrested development. She never had the chance to make friends and safely socialize on her own terms. The centuries of trauma have made trust, let alone romance, completely foreign to her.
Which is why, when Loki and Sylvie have romantic scenes, she is often awkward or, if not unreceptive, wary. Her previous flings, as she agrees with Loki, were "never real". Physical intimacy without emotional intimacy is a familiar dynamic for both characters. Their relationship with one another is their first experience of emotional intimacy (or at least attempt at it) outside of their families. The pursuit of this emotional intimacy feels safe to them because they are the same entity and thus they know each other's base nature (versus nurture!) to some degree.
The difference between them is that Sylvie has not experienced social rejection in the way Loki has (nurture!). She recognizes the wrongness with which the TVA has treated her. She knows the absolute atrocities the TVA has committed. She is determined to destroy them to free herself and all timelines. Sylvie is consequently more self-assured, more confident in what she wants and believes in, than Loki. In S2, Sylvie's clarity on desire is what allows her to help Loki articulate what he wants: his friends back, most especially Mobius.
Tumblr media
In S1E1, Loki, still posturing before Mobius, describes himself as a "liberator". At this point in the story, we know that isn't true, but it will become true by the finale. This line of dialogue foreshadows Loki's trajectory as well as Sylvie's revealed motivation in S1E4: to liberate.
THE NEXUS EVENT
There are a variety of ways for viewers to interpret what exactly the Nexus Event was. The canon, within the text of Mobius's dialogue and verbal confirmation from the creators, is that Loki and Sylvie fell in love. Now, I'm not going to spend time arguing over other interpretations here, but I will say that regardless of whatever pairing or OT3 a viewer ships, the Nexus Event was ALSO definitively this: two Lokis in the same place, at the same time, not feeling lonely together.
And Sylvie, who had confessed to Loki she has no friends and has never really experienced joy, answers Renslayer with the number of positive memories she has:
Tumblr media
Sylvie doesn't state it outright, but the subtext is clear that her one positive memory was her time with Loki on Lamentis. Indeed, moments later, Sylvie prunes herself in an effort to find and rescue him.
SYLVIE & MOBIUS
Tumblr media
But being the harshly pragmatic individual she is, upon arrival and encountering Alioth, Sylvie assumes Loki didn't make it. I don't think Sylvie means what she says in a cruel way. I think she believes this because she is accustomed to disappointment and accordingly guards herself with cynicism. Sylvie's traumas, her difficulty with trust, her inexperience with intimate relationships, and her cynicism all combine to create an individual who may appear aro-ace when that may not necessarily be the case. Please note, however, that Sylvie being aro-ace or aro-bisexual may still be a possibility. My analysis here is based on what the text and subtext seem to be telling us about her character.
Tumblr media
Notably, it is Mobius who is more optimistic about Loki's survival, wondering if Sylvie truly believes that Loki is dead.
This moment is brief, but it is significant because Mobius's optimism implies that not only does he believe in Loki, he also wants Loki to be alive. Sylvie is intelligent. She can read between the lines. We can also assume an off-screen conversation took place between them that confirmed for Sylvie Mobius's genuine care for Loki. When Sylvie informs Loki of this fact, I believe we get this:
Tumblr media
Mobius was conservative in how Loki might interpret their relationship, extending a handshake before their goodbyes. Loki, on the heels of his conversation with Sylvie, chooses to hug him instead. The result: Mobius is delighted!
I've long pondered on why Mobius would say, "You're my favorite" to Sylvie. I believe this is why: she helped along their friendship and opened the gates for physical affection between them. This demonstrates that Sylvie cares enough for Loki to ensure he is secure in his bond with Mobius. It likely helped that Mobius did not deny the TVA's evil when she pointed it out to him, and that he did not hesitate to apologize to her for it.
Ironically, it is Mobius's optimism, especially in the potential of broken things to become something better (whether it is Loki himself or the TVA), that creates the fraught philosophical divide between Sylvie and Mobius (and Loki) with regards to the TVA in S2.
Tumblr media
THE S1 FINALE
The S2 finale is where the narrative between Loki and Sylvie turns, and the plot pivots to the deepening relationship between Loki and Mobius. Triggering this event is Loki's desire to slow down and think about the consequences of killing HWR in the Citadel at The End of Time.
This may seem out-of-character at first glance. S1E1-E4 have demonstrated that Loki's decision making is sometimes chaotic by virtue of impulse. What was the last impulsive decision he made with heavy consequences?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He ran off after Sylvie. A good decision ultimately, as Loki learns the truth about the TVA through Sylvie, but only by luck. This decision very nearly cost Loki a friendship, one he didn't even realize he had until Mobius called him a "bad friend."
Despite the fallout, Mobius recovers relatively quickly once he confirms Loki's claims and views Ravonna's recording of C-20. He reestablishes trust with Loki as soon as possible to help Loki be with the one he loves. Why? Because Mobius is ultimately selfless and wants Loki's happiness regardless of his own feelings of jealousy.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Which circles us back to the theme of trust and Sylvie's challenges with it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Loki and Sylvie's relationship falls apart not because of lack of mutual interest, but because Sylvie loses trust in Loki and with good reason: HWR (and thus the TVA) is the cause of all her suffering.
It is not Sylvie's fault she is this way. She hasn't had enough time to develop meaningful relationships, and the one relationship that was meaningful to her (Loki's) became, in her eyes, a profound betrayal. This experience only adds to the other traumas Sylvie carries with her, making encounters with Loki in S2 emotionally difficult if not triggering.
The relationships of Loki & Sylvie and Loki & Mobius are intentionally set side-by-side for 3 critical reasons:
1.) To demonstrate Loki's growth by developing trust and thus emotional intimacy with others.
2.) To create the Plot B emotional source of conflict in S2.
3.) To set-up Mobius and Sylvie's individual beliefs and values (selflessness and sparing life [Mobius] + free will and revolution [Sylvie]), which Loki combines into his own system of beliefs and values. This combination gives Loki the strength and wisdom to ascend the throne and become the God of Stories (and Time).
THE S2 FINALE
Loki comes to his final decision after speaking with the two halves of his character arc equation. Loki first seeks out Mobius, who shares with him the distinction between himself and Ravonna. Now, this is brainwashed Mobius. Brainwashed Mobius believed Ravonna could do the impossible while he couldn't. But Loki knows Ravonna's corruption.
Beneath Mobius's wisdom that "most purpose is more burden than glory" is also Mobius's heart: he could not prune children and that instinct was the right decision. His "failure" was not a failure of duty but rather his humanity succeeding despite the brainwashing. It's this same intrinsic compassion that drove Mobius to convince Ravonna to spare Loki. Loki articulates this to Don as such. He therefore takes the message of selflessness and sparing life from Mobius to Sylvie.
Tumblr media
Sylvie, in turn, challenges Loki, stating they should have the freedom and right to fight whatever comes on their own terms.
Tumblr media
She also stresses that it is all right to destroy things. Upon hearing this, Loki comes to the conclusion that what is destroyed must be replaced with something better. What needs to be destroyed? Not the TVA and the people in it (not Mobius, Verity, OB, and Casey), but the Loom.
Tumblr media
Loki sacrificed himself (selflessness + sparing life [Mobius]) in order to save all timelines (free will + revolution [Sylvie]). Loki sparing Sylvie's life is a direct consequence of Mobius having fought to spare his.
Through this sacrifice, Loki gifts Sylvie the chance to get the type of positive experiences she wants and needs, which includes future romance, if she so chooses. That is canon and is a genuinely romantic gesture regardless of anyone's interpretation of mutual reciprocation or lack thereof.
It is also canon that Loki loves Mobius and Mobius loves Loki. Their actions for one another across both seasons demonstrate this to be true. Is it also romantic? Absolutely. Is it sexual? On screen, no, and it doesn't have to be. Romance does not require sex, let alone physical contact, to exist.
Tumblr media
Loki loves them both.

for the ask meme you reblogged: what things do you associate with loki (that may or may not be upg)? I'm talking things like food, animals, drinks (both soft drinks and alcohol), movies/books, fictional characters, even like silly things you might see in thrift stores.
Oh absolutely I can do this! Loki loves random things, in my experience, so I have... quite a few random things I associate with Loki. Let me know if any of you also associate any of these with him! A lot of these are super personal but stand anyway.
Forest fires—nature's balanced form of chaos)
Redwood and sequoia trees—cones are serotinous, meaning they only open when fire reaches them
Southeast Alaska/temperate rainforests & fjords—they're very geographically similar to Iceland/Norway and I feel Loki's chaos in the sharp winds and chaotic seas
Orcas—similar to how the wolves are viewed, they have a negative representation when they're integral with their chaos to the cycle of balance in ecosystems. I actually have a bunch of orcas on Loki's altar! He showed me orcas when I lived in Alaska.
Glow sticks—literally don't have a reason for this one.
Wolves—this one is not a UPG because of Fenrir, but I personally associate wolves with Loki because they for a very long time were viewed as the "bad guys" and monsters, when in reality, they were the balance to the ecosystem that was needed. Awfully reminiscent to Loki in his myths.
Solar eclipses—also not necessarily a UPG, but the sheer chaotic energy and power from solar eclipses reminds me of Loki's energy
My roommate's cat—lol, she is an AGENT of chaos. As someone who grew up with cats, never had a more chaotic cat in my life. She also raids fridges. And stares at Loki's altar every day. My roommate says she's a witch.
Writing and storytelling—Loki Does It For The Story, and a lot of times speaks to me through my world and creative writing.
Fireball shots—it's the cinnamon I think, but Loki gets fireball shots every few days (lol.)
Green, orange, black, and blue—Loki's colors, this one jsut makes sense to me and I can't really describe why.
Nature—nature is inherently chaotic but maintains a cycle, and this is Loki's energy to me. He is also part Jotun, associated with nature, and to me, he is present everywhere in the wild and unpredictable forces of nature.
Sweet tea—don't know why but Loki enjoys sweet tea
I'm Just Ken (Barbie Movie)—this is the funniest one yet, but Loki literally showed me the entire dance sequence to I'm Just Ken in my sleep (I had watched the Barbie movie once), and would not stop bothering me until I got him the Barbie movie vinyl and played it for him.
Performance in storytelling—this could be theatre, but really just performing and putting on a show while telling a story. This is the same deity who tied his balls to a goat and saved all the assess of the Norse pantheon because he got Skaði to laugh, so this one checks out.
I have so many more but there you go for a start. Working with Loki is just sheer chaos, if you couldn't already tell.

The Redbridge Hunts, Chapter 46
Tumblr media
Claire was quite concerned with how worried and on edge Loki seemed to be. It made her on edge, too.
When they got home, Matt and David came round about an hour later.
‘You really think Chris will try something?’ Matt asked Loki as the three vampires sat at the table in the kitchen with a beer, while Claire cooked dinner with a glass of wine.
Bat was on the table too, like she was listening intently to the conversation, though she did keep an eye on Claire too incase there was any food on offer.
Loki had said they’d just order takeaway, but Claire offered to cook. She was planning to make stew, knowing how much Loki loves it. Though the thought of having to fight with three vampires for the toilet wouldn’t be ideal, as she knew Loki would have a tantrum if she didn’t add garlic. So she just opted for something else entirely and was cooking up lasagne.
‘Definitely. I’ve never seen him so angry before, if dad hadn’t been there, he would’ve killed me. Without a doubt.’ Loki said with certainty.
Matt and David’s eyebrows shot upwards. ‘Do you really think having us two as backup will help if he does come knocking?’ David asked as he took a big swig of his beer.
‘One of you can try and keep him from killing me while the other goes to get my dad.’ Loki said as he also took a big mouthful of beer.
‘I’ll get your dad!’ Both Matt and David said at the same time.
Claire wanted to laugh, but the situation was quite worrying she couldn’t really see the humour in it. Her stomach was in knots, even though she knew having Matt and David here was a bit of extra security.
When dinner was ready, they all sat around the table to eat. They were a bit calmer and able to enjoy their food as they chatted away about other things. Bat had her own little plate of some mince that Claire had left to the side for her without any onions or sauce in it.
‘You spoil that cat.’ Matt laughed as he reached over to stroke said cat.
‘At least now I can blame it all on Claire.’ Loki teased with a smirk.
‘Pssssht. She was already spoiled rotten before I even knew you, don’t deny it!’ Claire argued back as she pointed her fork at him, making him chuckle.
‘Exactly. Remember that time it was Severus’ birthday, we all got him a cake and you snuck a piece home, just for Bat?’ David reminded him.
Loki looked a little sheepish as he shrugged. ‘Well… Bat should get to enjoy the celebrations that we do, too.’
‘That’s why she was so desperate to get at my birthday cake, she has a sweet tooth.’ Claire laughed.
‘She does.’ Loki sighed. ‘She’s rather partial to a little bit of baileys too on an evening.’
Claire giggled, while David and Matt shook their heads in disbelief. Bat let out a small chirp from the side of the table.
After dinner, Loki did the dishes while the others went through to the living room to relax for a while before going to bed.
‘Has Loki ever been this worried about Chris trying to hurt him before?’ Claire asked quietly, though she wouldn’t be surprised if Loki could still hear her from the kitchen.
‘No, not that I can think of.’ David shook his head.
‘Chris loves his job, he does it take it seriously. He does care for the students and his teachers, this will be a big blow to him for sure.’ Matt said.
‘I don’t get why they want to change things up. I mean, Loki would be a great head teacher if he does decide to take it.’ Claire said softly.
‘He really would.’ Matt agreed.
‘Do you think he will take the job, if Chris can’t get them to change their minds?’ David asked Claire.
‘I’m not sure, he hasn’t really said much about it. I think he’s too worried about what Chris might do right now.’ Claire sighed.
‘Well, we will do our best to help if trouble does come knocking.’ David said firmly.
-
For the following few days, there was no sign of Chris. It was like he’d gone off the radar completely. Loki had relaxed a little bit, though was still on edge. Matt and David had said they’d be happy to stay more nights, but Loki didn’t want to burden them anymore. They said they’d be on the end of the phone, if anything did happen to call them and just hang up after one ring, they’d be straight there.
‘I don’t know whether to be more worried or not that Chris has just gone completely AWOL.’ Loki said to Claire on Thursday morning while they prepped for the day ahead.
‘It is strange. Though maybe for the best, maybe he’s clearing his head and will come back calmer. Hopefully…’
‘I certainly hope so.’ Loki said as Claire walked over to him and wrapped her arms around him, he smiled and kissed her forehead. ‘Thank you for putting up with me this week. I know I’ve been antsy and probably not easy to be around.’
‘So… what’s been the change?’ Claire teased.
Loki growled at her and tickled her sides, making her giggle.
‘You’ve been fine, love. I know it’s worrying, you don’t need to apologise.’ Claire assured him and pressed her head in against his chest.
Loki ran his fingers through her hair, she always soothed him. He would be lost without her, that was for sure.
‘Hopefully he comes back before Saturday night’s party, I don’t know if I’ll be able to fully enjoy the Halloween night if I’m constantly worrying and looking around for him.’ Loki sighed.
‘I doubt he’d try anything at the party, besides if he does, there’s plenty of vampires around to protect you. It will probably be safer than being at home!’ Claire said as she looked up at him, resting her chin on his chest.
Loki smiled and nodded. ‘That’s very true.’ He hummed.
‘It’ll be fine.’ Claire said confidently as she reluctantly pulled away from him to place some textbooks on everyone’s table. ‘He’s bound to have calmed down by now, it’s been a few days. I think if he was going to do something dangerous, he would’ve done it already.’
Loki smiled across the room at her and nodded. ‘You’re right, darling.’
-
In a small underground nightclub, in a city across the country, around forty or so bodies lay strewn in various predicaments around the place.
The flashing lights still lit up the room sporadically in a multitude of colours. Music continued to blare out from the DJ system, even though the DJ lay lifeless across the mixing table, blood dripping from his neck with a huge chunk of flesh torn out.
The security guard’s bodies could be found just inside the doorway, in a puddle of their own blood. The few bartenders that had been working that night lay dead behind the bar, smashed glasses beside them.
One man who was left, the last one alive, scrambled backwards to get away from the monster that had arrived just mere minutes ago, causing the carnage inside, he’d watched his girlfriend get torn to pieces right on front of him. Trying to save her had been pointless, he was simply tossed across the room.
Now, the monster was after him. He’d fallen over and was backed to the wall on the ground, crying and pleading for his life. He’d been happily drunk just five minutes previously, but seeing the massacre had rapidly sobered him up.
The vampire was covered in blood, his clothes were soaked in it. His mouth dripped with so much blood as his fangs remained visible. His eyes were a terrifying deep dark red.
‘No amount of pleading will save you.’ The vampire snarled, then without more fooling around he launched for him.
He went straight for the neck of course, the sound of the man screaming in agony was like music to the vampire’s ears as he sucked the blood out of him.
From the adrenaline of fear, the man’s heart was working overtime and sent so much blood through his veins that just got sucked right out. The man turned pale white and passed out, before dying shortly after. The vampire could hear the man’s heartbeat slow, then it came to a complete stop.
Once he’d had his fill, the vampire dropped the body to his feet and he stood up straight. He looked around the room, at the sea of bodies, while he breathed in deeply. There wasn’t one survivor, no heartbeat could be heard.
He let out an angry snarl as he punched the wall, putting a large hole right through. It just wasn’t enough. It didn’t help ease his anger and pain one bit.
‘No… I know exactly what I need to do back in Redbridge.’ Chris snarled.

In a different light
If you like more Loki fics, check out my Masterlist
Summary: Loki confesses his love as he takes care of you after you barely survived your recent mission.
Pairing: Loki x Agent!reader
Word count: 985
Warnings: fluff, mentions of injuries, suggestive innuendos if you squint.
Tumblr media
─── ⋅ ∙ ∘ ☽ ༓ ☾ ∘ ⋅ ⋅ ───
Having Loki around in the Avengers tower feels like walking on eggshells for you. Despite your constant bantering with him, you never let your guard down around him knowing full well what he's capable of. All of this seems contradictory to your crush on him.
You were on heightened alert when he's around but you still crave his presence in his absence. You enjoyed how he keeps you on the edge with his witty mind and his smugness against the rest of the team.
One day, you went on a solo mission to infiltrate HYDRA and steal information. You barely made it out alive after a huge-scale scuffle with the agents there.
Your vision darkened as you walk towards the Avenger's tower. You saw a familiar figure running towards you just before you passed out in exhaustion. You bit your gashed lip, a taste of iron from the blood. The last thing you felt was a faint scent of wood and pine as you slumped into the arms of your rescuer.
You did not know how long you were knocked out but you were expecting a sore body and a throbbing headache. Unexpectedly, you don't feel that way - you felt no pain, part of you thinking you might be dead, as you flutter your eyes open when you felt someone gently tugging on your hand.
"Glad to know you've finally woken from your deep slumber, agent," Loki's sweet velvety voice spoke as he wraps a clean bandage on your hand and wrist.
Slightly alarmed by his presence, you tried propping yourself up but your energy has not quite returned yet so you ended up squirming.
"Where's everybody?" You asked.
"Fury called them for an urgent mission, it's just us here, darling" he answered, never breaking his gaze toward you.
Your brows furrowed at the thought of being alone with him. But you were more curious about what has happened, why he decided to help you out this time.
"what happened? How long was I out?"
"It's been 3 days now, love. You passed out and thank the Norns I caught you before you hit your head on the floor," he chuckled.
"you helped me? Why?" you questioned.
"Would it be so out of character for me to help out my most favorite agent?" He grinned
"kinda," you faintly smiled "I just didn't find you to be someone who would do such things to other people"
"oh, I don't. Just you. I wouldn't have someone to banter with if you die"
"ain't that a sucker. How did you do it? I don't feel pain" you asked as you started getting comfortable being in his presence, seeing him in a different light.
"Mother taught me healing magic. Not that I need to use it often. You were battered and bruised and the best I could do is take it away. Although some of your wounds need more care so I just ended up wrapping them in bandage"
"thank you, Loki. You also managed to bring me to my room," you thanked him.
"I knew you would prefer it that way. I made you some food too if you'd like," was he blushing? You asked yourself.
You raised a brow, why was he doing this all of a sudden? But you were extremely grateful for his gesture. "That would be splendid,"
He brought you a warm meal that you chowed down out of hunger as he sat beside your bed. You finished the meal in no time, and you were pleased to know he's not that bad of a cook.
"Thanks for the meal, Loki. But really - why are you doing all of this?" You asked, thinking there might be some sort of hidden agenda behind it.
"if you must insist, agent -" he stopped for a while as you await a witty response from him.
"I've been keenly interested in you for a while now. There's nothing more to it than a sincere gesture of my care for you, love" he responded, leaning closer. He sat on your bed beside you, sweeping a stray lock of hair away from your face and tucking it behind your ear.
You blushed, you did not expect him to feel the same way about you. You felt vulnerable with his touch grazing the side of your face.
"May I?" His warm breath whispered in your ear, pulling away slightly after to see your reaction to his question as he looked at you intently. His warm cupping your cheek. You responded with a meek nod.
He drew closer and his lips gently crashed against yours. You felt your core heating up as you exchanged kisses, both of your tongues intertwining with each other in a slow and sensual motion. You broke the kiss as you searched for air.
"I swear to the Norns, if only you weren't hurt, I could have taken you already," he whispered.
"I guess that would have to wait until I'm all fixed up then, but that would mean everyone will be back by that time," you retorted, grinning from ear to ear.
"you cheeky - I swear by that time, I'll make sure they hear you scream my name as it echoes throughout the building,"
Your face turned beet red at the thought of him making love to you.
"but for now, you rest and get better. You will need all the energy you have to keep up with me all night" he declared, planting a kiss on your forehead.
You pouted in disappointment but you look forward to when that time comes.
You shuffle under the covers to make yourself comfortable as you decide to drift off to sleep again.
"rest well, my love. I love you. I'll see you in the morning," he made a quick peck on your lips before he made his exit.
"I love you too," you lazily answered as your eyes grew heavy.

Ghost (Loki Love Story) Ch.3
Tumblr media
‘’blood is a bond, what breaks the bond is completing the contract. When you placed your blood onto my attire- accident or not, you must have been thinking about something.. something that you wished assistance with or something completed.. I help you, and we might be able to separate.’’
Loki’s words ran through my head as I paced back and forth in my apartment, Loki relaxing on the couch not to far away after finishing a sandwich I had made not to long ago and I prayed he was thinking just as hard as I was.
Luckily the thing called Doordash would buy us some time for groceries and with my wing and shoulder being hurt, work has dismissed me so there was no real reason to leave the apartment. Aka keeps Loki out of site and gives us both more thinking time.
‘’you are about to dig an impressive trench If you pace a few more times darling’’ Loki said with sarcasm, his hands cradling his head from behind as he relaxed in a comfy position. Didn’t even bother looking in my direction.
‘’I hope your coming up with some ideas with your rare moment of silence over there’’ I snap, giving him a look that he didn’t even see anyways as I pause to go over to take a bite of my own sandwich. The events of the day didn’t exactly build my appetite, let alone his criticisms from his own food. Ungrateful asshole..
‘’I have come up with a few possibilities, yes’’ he said a little to calmly that made me practically grip the back of the couch as I went over, looking down at him with a forced calm reaction.
‘’I hope you just came up with them now since it’s been more than an hour’’ I said with a sarcastic sweet voice as he smirked up at me from his unmoving position.
‘’would you like them or not?’’
‘’yes.’’ I say through my teeth and backed off immediately so we practically didn’t bonk heads as he sat himself up.
‘’you need something complete, as it seems through the blood magic.’’ He starts, keeping his shoes on the couch as an arm rested on the back of the couch so he could look at me.
‘’if it’s even involving blood magic-‘’
‘’lets say it is; do you remember thinking about something in particular when you’re blood fell upon my attire?’’ he asked, genuinely curious that caught my own attitude off guard.
I stare at him for a moment, doing my best to remember amongst the battle, the pain of getting shot, the glass shards in the wing, the- my expression went blank at the last image and it seems to get his attention as he raised a brow.
‘’what is it?’’
‘’..nothing.. I wouldn’t know how it would tie in anyway-‘’ I shake my head as if it’s a silly thought and move away to return to my food. This didn’t seem to be brushed off easily and Loki was already on his feet and around the couch.
‘’you don’t know that, perhaps I could find a way on how it does-‘’
‘’I would have already done so already’’ I shake my head and take another bite as he narrows his eyes at my back.
‘’are you referring to yourself as more intelligent?’’
‘’I’m not the one who tried to take over an attire planet the way you did.’’ I say with a small shrug.
‘’that is not the point-‘’ Loki hissed, wanting to drop the subject as he crossed his arms. ‘’what is it?’’
I hesitate, of course my stubborn ass not wanting to tell him anything as my cheeks reddened a little. To be honest, I’m not sure why and I’m glad my back was to him as I set down my plate. ‘’..the last thing I saw was your outfit, of course my blood catching my eye afterward.’’
Loki nodded slowly as his eyes wandered, almost analyzing me without even my knowledge before I slowly turned to face him. ‘’alright.. its only natural to be thinking about the particular subject your eyes lay upon to spark brain function’’ his comment almost sounded like he was calling me stupid as he began walking around to look more at my household, as if doing it for the first time.
‘’then perhaps it’s a matter of helping me’’
I scoffed as I watched him, my arms crossed as I leaned on the wall. ‘’I am not helping you take over a planet’’
Loki waved me off as his mind wandered in thought. ‘’not that love, but perhaps sending me back. Destiny says I died.. as much as I am not so much thrilled to be killed, its perhaps what needs to be fixed on my end..’’
‘’as much as I wouldn’t mind killing you, what do you mean by your end?’’ sarcasm and curiosity in my voice as I watch him.
‘’blood bonds are for both parties. I need to be sent back, but what about you?’’ he thinks out loud, rhetorical than a question as he looked around more. ‘’..how long have you been living here? by yourself..’’
‘’um.. maybe a couple years maybe? I was at the tower for awhile when we were helping to defeat Thanos and then joined my people here..’’ I answer, unsure what he was getting at.
‘’you’ve never had a partner?’’
My cheeks heated up as I looked at him like he were crazy. ‘’a bit personal don’t you think?’’
‘’answer me.’’ He says almost to calmly as his eyes move up to mind, seriousness in his face that almost gave me no choice but to answer.
‘’y-yes..’’
‘’then darling, it’s only logically making sense. I need to be sent back, and upon your last memory that brought me back here with your blood.. and how you don’t necessarily need any fixing in other matters, the only logical explanation is..’’ he paused, almost not being able to say it himself as I gaze at him like a child with anticipation.
‘’you love me.’’
There was a moment of silence between us as we stare at each other, my expression asking if he were crazy and his showing how he was dead serious.
My lips parted to try to find the appropriate answer as my arms loosely came down to my sides. ‘’are you-‘’
‘’think about it Y/N, why else am I here? you don’t need fixing in your life, true but perhaps its because you lack companionship. A partner. You saw me- well, my attire before you blacked out and your blood brought me through your last thought being of me.’’ He explained, fully facing me now as he slowly took a step closer as he spoke.
‘’that’s pretty conceited of you-‘’
‘’I am the god of lies darling, look upon me now.’’ He says, his voice deadly serious as he took his place before me, my back up against the wall as our heights showed themselves off and their differences. ‘’do you love me?’’
My cheeks heated up, knowing he could tell lies but.. I didn’t love him- but.. what the fuck- I push his shoulders and walk past him to around the couch, my hand running through my hair as I push the thought away. ‘’you’re crazy.. we barely know each other even on Asgard.’’
‘’perhaps, but you very much caught my attention.’’ I could almost see the smirk on his lips as he turned to look at me- my back once again. ‘’so I’m sure you saw me as much as I saw you.’’
‘’of course I saw you, you are a royal and I worked in the palace.’’ I shake my head, keeping my back to him as his voice drew nearer.
‘’you know what I mean Y/N. but I know denial when I see it’’ he said in a calm voice manner. ‘’but the only explanation is right here in front of us. You need to accept your true feelings, even if I have to try to woo you. and in the end just to make sure things are definitely clear between you and I, and this bond,’’
I spin around to call him crazy, to tell him to shut up, that he’s wrong, but he’s already nose to nose with me in a second that closes my mouth instantly.
‘’we need to have sex.’’

!How about a croissant!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Scenario:- a fellow agent pushes your boundaries and loki makes sure they never will again
Pairing:- loki x fem!reader
Genre:-fluff
Type:-oneshot
A/N:-wrote this for a friend a while back,thought i might as well post it~
Tumblr media
Slow music floated throught the air as the annual avengers gala took place.An event where the Earths mightiest heroes got to meet some of the most elite socialites in tony starks circle
But the whole gathering,this entire event;it made you uncomfortable.
You preferred curling up with a book by the window as opposed to a hoity toity gala,but as an avenger,you had expectations to meet and responsibilities to fulfill.
And this was one such responsibility.
So you sucked it up and put on a brave face.
One night couldnt hurt could it?
The music stopped as the focus of the entire room was suddenly directed towards the man of the night;Anthony Edward Stark.
Tony thrived in situations like this.it was one of his quaities that you admired the most.
But as you backed away towards the food table,seekimg refuge among the croissants and macaroons,you felt a strong and unfamiliar arm wrap itself around your waist.
You froze.
Who was this?Why were they up in Your space??HOW COULD YOU GET OUT OF THIS????
Just as your internal panic was about to reach an all time high,the person spoke.And to your complete and utter disgust,you knew who it was.
“Where’re you goin Agent l/n?Stark’s just startin”
“Agent cisco,I was just..going over to the snack table....gatherings really arent my thing...”
You said through gritted teeth,praying to and god that’d listen to get you out of this weird and creepy interaction.
“Come on sweetheart,dont be like that...you gotta be social!live a little!”as the words left his lips,he tried to tighten his grip and hold you close.And just as he tried manuveuring you into a hug,a greenish-brown vine slithered towards you both.
Cisco stared at it curiously and only after it had begun to slither up his leg did he realise,
IT WAS A SNAKE!
He yelped out and threw you to the side so as to save himself,but as soon as he’d turned his back,the snake turned into a charming young man with sleek black hair that had been tied into a bun at the nape of his neck.
The man caught you before you hit the floor and admired you with his emarald green eyes,a smirk perfectly playing on his face.
“Well,i knew you’d fallen for me but i never thought id have to actually catch you darling~” came his voice.silky sweet and smooth as honey.
You rolled your eyes at his comment.
“Loki,its about time you showed up...where were you??”You fire back.
“Oh you know my love,godly things and all.I made it though didnt I?” He said before pressing a chaste kiss to your lips.
It was supposed to be a quick peck,but the moment your lips met his,he decided to deepen the kiss,your arms went to wrap themselves around his neck while his hands circled your waist,pulling you impossibly close~
You came up for air a minute later to see cisco staring at the two of you in horror!
HAD HE JUST-TRIED TO-HIT ON LOKI’S GIRLFRIEND?!
Loki let go of you but still held onto your hand as he looked down his nose at the petrified man before him,and in a tone dripping with the venom of malicious intent,said, “Can i help you?”
“N-NO-SIR NOT AT ALL! SORRY SIR- I-I DIDNT-“
Loki placed his hands on cisco’s shoulders before whispering into his ear,
“If you ever try anything like that with my y/n , you’ll have my dagger to deal with and i hate soiling my blades with filth.Have I made myself clear?”
“Y-YES SIR! SORRY SIR-IT WONT HAPPEN AGAIN SIR!”
And with that he took off running towards the exit.
Loki turned back to you,a proud yet playful smirk playing on his lips, “Now then love,how about a croissant?”
You smiled at him.
“I’d like nothing more.”

The Arsenic Poisoning of Episode 3
Hello hi I'm a history major currently doing research of the Victorian use of arsenic in textiles, and I figured, why not see how much arsenic poisoning Lokius would have gotten at the fair?
Poor Mobius is about to have a rough time. I'm assuming Loki has some genetics that make his less susceptible to arsenic poisoning. But Mobius's sweet tooth would be the most likely to get him into trouble.
First of all, arsenic was EVERYWHERE. It was in upholstery, paint, playing cards, curtains, clothing, pesticides, paper stationery, wallpaper, candy wrappers, even dust. The most common pigment was Scheele's green, which was used to produce a very vibrant green.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let's look at the fair. What from here would they have come into contact with? They spent a good chunk of a day there, and Mobius seems like a fun guy. Let's assume they were in buildings. Many of the buildings were temporary constructions, so I would assume they would not be the most furnished, like a home would, but they could have stopped by the domestic product exhibit by the Pratt Institute. And they may have come across artificial flowers in decorations, stopped to look at gloves or in an art hall, or Mobius could have played a few rounds of cards painted with arsenic green. He might have accidentally brushed against someone wearing a green arsenic-dyed dress and had the offset sit in his skin for a while. Here is an illustration of the wounds direct contact with arsenic could cause.
Here you can look through photos and an account of the fair.
Arsenic was sold in grocery stores before restrictions were passed in Parliament (my research focuses on the UK right now, but I'm going to apply it to Chicago. I am also assuming many things from the UK were shipped to Chicago for the fair). The Arsenic Restrictions Act of 1851 limited the sale of arsenic to 10 pounds or less and to pharmacists. Not very effective, if you ask me, and according to this cartoon and this one.
(Quick background info was that Parliament was hesitant to pass arsenic restriction laws, which even led to an increase in the use of arsenic. Arsenic was not just in the green pigments, but for the purpose of this post and because it's the Loki series, I'm focusing on green.)
Tumblr media
Doctors had widely suspected arsenic in domestic textiles and products caused arsenic poisoning since the 1870s. Most of the time, symptoms disappeared once the patients left the room/house because they weren't around the arsenic wallpaper/cloth/etc. But arsenic was so widespread at the end of the 19th century, I firmly believe that Mobius would have been seriously ill at the end of episode 3. Here are symptoms noted by two different doctors.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is not even mentioning the fact that arsenic had a history of being in sweets and other foods. As mentioned in the second image, candies were sometimes wrapped in paper dyed with arsenic, but arsenic was also used to dye confectionery, and also substitute other ingredients, whether accidental or in an attempt to cut costs. In 1858, a confectioner accidentally mixed 12 pounds of arsenic into a batch of peppermint. 200 people got sick and 21 died in the Bradford Sweets Poisoning.
One historian, James C Whorton, posits that arsenic was added to lower costs and that the Arsenic Restriction Act actually did nothing to restrict arsenic being released into the public.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This brings us to another point. We know that at the fair, knockoffs were a large business there. If even before the fair, there was the temptation to lower costs by carelessly replacing it with arsenic, then it might be probable to assume some candies had a strong presence of arsenic at the fair, given how prevalent knockoffs were. Poor Mobius, unless he was very careful to do his research, probably ate a few. This is where the sweet tooth gets him in trouble. Loki didn't eat anything, the most he would have encountered was probably fabric and dust.
A report from 1900 shows that arsenic was suspect in glucose products. Glucose is sugar, which is used to make caramel and molasses, which are used in the making of: you guessed it, Crackerjack. The Crackerjack of the 1893 World's Fair was made with molasses, which is from refining the sugar cane, but arsenic mixed with molasses was also used as a pesticide so it would perhaps not be uncommon to have arsenic-laced molasses in the vicinity, especially at a fair showing off new agricultural developments. Given that this report is from 1900, I am assuming arsenic may have been more prevalent in sugar before 1900.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
So Mobius could have been exposed to any amount of this during the day at the fair. What about onscreen? When they reach the bar, Mobius could have brushed against clothing containing arsenic given how crowded it was. We see him think about ordering a beer. Also not a good idea, Mobius.
Tumblr media
I would also say Timely might have had exposure standing next to the stage curtains. But Loki's magic when they leave also kicks up a lot of dust. If we look back at the first image, we can see the concentration of arsenic in dust. Inhaling that wouldn't have done Mobius any good either.
There are several factors that we did not see onscreen that I could only guess that they did. But Timely's lab may have had arsenic in it, and given how dusty it seemed to be, that very well could have also been a place that added to Mobius's exposure. Many physicians reported arsenic poisoning, likely from their work.
This post will likely be edited for a while as I continue my research (it's also 1 am and I wrote this in an hour) and then I'll do a full bibliography (if you want a certain source, ask in the notes and I'll post it), but this is my conclusion that Mobius would probably have been ill after returning to the TVA if we lean into his sweet-tooth side, so Lokius hurt/comfort fics anyone??
