this morning i started writing a thorki au and it has already committed the following sins: modern au; thor & loki not being related; blue-collar thor while loki is posh. but i don't care because the whole concept is stupid and tailored to my very specific demands and there is as ever a good chance i will never make any real progress on it anyway. ha ha. ha haha. so there.

#okay so listen: thor is electrician BUT he is also somehow arthur king of the britons #and i have no yet worked out the mythical/magical elements work into the story really BUT #thor being the magic rightful king is V AWKWARD for loki the current king of the danelaw #(MODERN DANELAW AU YES! HYPERSPECIFIC DEMANDS!)#and so OBVIOUSLY this means they will have to get married to each other to prevent things getting too interesting plotwise.#so here i am attempting to justify my choices in this matter of writing rom-com fic.#i think frigga will love thor because he can fix things. he has a real skill! wow she doesn't know anyone else with such a thing!#probably she breaks things just so she can ask him to fix them for her. which sounds dangerous but who can say no to frigga?#i think my train of thought was 'modern au but they'd have to be from a fictional european country' to 'extra scandinavia?'#eta: and then i thought maybe it could be set in modern vinland because why not?#and from there to 'oh the danelaw!' and then that adds king arthur of course as well as there can be an archbishop of jorvik.#which is sure to charm the anglicans at least.#note to self: check if anglicans read thorki fic.#yes i know there should probably not be a church of england in this world but i am weirdly attached to having an archbishop of jorvik.#because who else can perform the wedding ceremony?#exactly my friend. exactly. this does indeed all make perfect sense.#i have about 1500 words but the worldbuildng in my head is oddly extensive for someone whose usual 'worldbuilding' in fics stops at #'well he has a car and it's some kind of car but i won't specify beyond that because i neither know nor care about cars.'#maybe heimdall can be the archbishop?#fic related #this fic would have the stupidest pun-based title of all time but i have not yet had any inspiration for what that would actually be.#also fun fact: i cannot spell archbishop i keep trying to add an extra vowel.#someone please agree that this is not the worst fic idea.
