DISCUSS!

The scene in The Dark World where the guard tells Odin that a body was found on Svartalfheim. I haven't seen an in-depth discussion of some questions the scene raises:

Did Odin send the guard as soon as he realised Thor had freed Loki from his cell? Did he plan on throwing them both in a cell together as punishment? Or in adjoining cells? (Note: this would make a great fanfic, someone write it if it doesn't already exist. Brotherly bickering! Shared angst over Frigga's death! Joining forces to present a united front against Odin!)

I presume the guard had an easier way to get there vs. Loki's path through the mountain crack? Was Svartalfheim even accessible once the Convergence passed? (So like...could Thor have returned for Loki's body later? Or was there only a narrow window to get there and, more importantly, leave?)

When the guard got there, was Loki still looking like a dead body? Or was he already reviving and trying to figure out what to do next? Did he kill the guard before he took on his appearance? Presumably there was an actual guard since Odin wasn't surprised by the guard showing up with his report. (Again, has anyone ficced this?)

Is the weapon the guard mentions the Aether?

The clip for anyone needing their memory refreshed:

18 for the writing asks?

Fanfic Writer Ask Meme

18. What’s one of your favorite lines you’ve written in a fic?

This is the line that my brain always comes back to when anyone asks this question.

“What words would you have me say?” he asked. He could tell her that he loved her, three words that could mean something and nothing and everything all at the same time, but would always be suspect from the lips of a liar. It had taken him a full turn of the seasons to gather enough courage to say them the first time. “My heart is caught, shredding and bleeding while it beats and breaks around the blade of your affections. It’s yours, Sif,” he told her. Words as gentle and soft as he had ever spoken. “It always has been.”

This is from a story I'd written for @psychoticgirl way back in December 2012 called haven't forgotten my way home. I struggled so much when I wrote it originally, to the point of disliking it. It's taken time and distance, but I've come to really love it. And this particular moment in it specifically.

Thanks for asking!

1. Talk about the first ship you ever had. Hmm, it's kinda funny because how I got into fandom in general was through HP fanfiction and I was introduced to fanfiction before I had any idea about ships or even knew what shipping was (back when I was 12, wow). I supposed I liked Harry x Ginny and Ron x Hermione, as I wanted these ships to happen in the books, but I didn't really care for them? And then, I got really into Marauders era fanfiction which was mostly Sirius/OFC, Remus/OFC and James/Lily. Then, book five came along, and with that Bellatrix, and Sirius/Bella was really my first ship? Or at least my first otp. It was the first time I had an active role in the fandom, I wrote fic, I participated on forums, talked to people about them etc. They were everything and, lmao, I still see so much of the same tropes that first attracted me to them on my current ships.

5. Do you have any poly ships? Yesss. Grigor x Georgina x Catherine x Peter (The Great) are my favorite foursome. I think they would just complement each other and also avoid a lot of heartbreak if they had just gotten all together. And then, as far as threesome goes: Ava x Boyd x Raylan (Justified); Silver x Madi x Flint (Black Sails), Niall x Leslie x Irial (Wicked Lovely), and, more recently, Anthony x Siena x Simon and Siena x Genevieve x Marina, from Bridgerton. And probably a lot more I'm forgetting. I think ot3s can be a very interesting dynamic when you manage to write it without anyone being left out.

37. Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP? In terms of AUs, since a lot of my ships are either from period dramas or supernatural shows, I tend to like modern/all human AUs. I guess I like seeing how these characters would translate into our world (or I'm just boring). And then, anything involving either corporate jobs or mafias or crime (yes, all those things go together in my head).

1, 26, 37

1. Talk about the first ship you ever had. | I think the first one I remember being very into was Grissom/Sara from CSI.  I’m sure there was a few that I enjoyed before I knew what shipping was, but GSR was the one that I was fully involved in.  

26. Have you noticed a pattern in your shipping? Is there a romantic dynamic you’re more drawn to? | I have a fair amount of MayDecember ships, but I also am a fan of Strong Silent Type who falls in love with Sunshine Baby.  

37. Do you have a favorite trope and/or AU for your OTP? | I’m a sucker for hurt/comfort and I have read more coffee shop AUs than is probably healthy.

Song is: "Gravity,” by Angie Aparo, because me and my wife had some serious The X-Files nostalgia going a few weeks ago and this song was on so many of our old MSR cd’s, lolol. 

Favorite line is: The gravity of whether you were meant for me came crashing like a symphony in someone else's used to be

Send me a ∞ and I’ll give you a song and a lyric!

Loki found her in the sparring arena ruthlessly destroying three trainees simultaneously. 

Oh.

That usually signified that something was not okay.

He didn’t know what it was, but he would find out. Even if he had to annoy it out of her.

“Lady Sif!” he called, trademark smirk visible despite his distance. “Will you not ease up on your young protégés? I’m sure their mothers would like them back in one piece for the evening meal, would they not?”

The axe which narrowly missed his head asserted his earlier assumption of her mood to be correct.

She dismissed her pupils with a wave of her hand and they took their leave, whispering to each other and glancing between Sif and Loki’s approaching form as they exited. 

“What do you want, Loki?”

He put his hands out in front of him in a show of insincere supplication. “I wish only to speak with my friend and learn the reason behind her ire, my lady.”

She glared at him. “Well I wish to fight and as you’ve so graciously released my partners I assume you will take their place, will you not?” The smirk threatening to break through the grim line of her mouth gave him pause.

She didn’t think he would accept her offer, a suspicion confirmed by the flash of surprise on her face when he stepped forward. He didn’t much care for one-on-one combat, but he was never one to shy away from a challenge.

“Very well, but I must warn you, I have mastered new tricks since last we sparred.” He summoned a dagger with his magic and moved into a fighting stance.

“And what trick can compare to true skill?” she asked, eyebrow raised.

It was a low blow but he figured he deserved it for goading her in the first place.

“I guess we will found out how evenly we match.”

There was a double meaning to his statement which she did not fail to miss. He could tell she had caught it by the slight frown that peeked through before her stoic mask slipped back into place and she charged him with her sword. 

He focused all his attention on countering her blows and not dwelling on her negative reaction to his simple jest.

He had always teased her on the very subject matter, the silly debate between him and his brother always a thread at which he so loved to pull. It had always been a game. A joke. 

Until one day when it wasn’t.

Sometime throughout the past decades the young idealists had become seasoned warriors who did nothing if it was not for the good of Asgard. And Asgard had its own judgment on what they should do. And who they should do it with.

What he wouldn’t give to have those carefree days back. He was never one for duty, after all.

They fought in silence for a few minutes until he broke it. 

“I apologize for my earlier comment. You know I meant nothing of it.”

She didn’t respond, only lunged forward as her sword sliced through the air where he no longer stood.

“It would be quite the scandal though, wouldn’t it? The Shieldmaden and the Silvertongue.” His eyes lit with mirth.

It didn’t sound bad at all, in fact, Loki quite liked the idea. Not that he would ever let it show. This was just another game. It had to be.

“If nothing else, it would be a good laugh just to see their faces. They would never expect it.”

He got so carried away imagining what a scene they could make that he was not quick enough to dodge the full force of her shield which knocked him to the ground.

Sif quickly straddled his thighs, her blade pointed under his chin.

“I am well aware of what Asgard expects,” She grit out.

Loki was certain the fire in her eyes would surely light his funeral pyre by the morrow. And what a brilliant way to go out, he thought.

Her stare was so intense that he realized he had missed this. 

Missed her gaze on him and him alone.

Missed her.

They hadn’t spent much time in each other’s company lately, a fact which he desperately wanted to remedy. 

“The complication is that Thor is nothing but my friend and will never be anything more. I feel for him as I would a brother.” 

Her brow furrowed and he wished he could smooth it out, ease her problems.

Destroy anyone that ever caused them.

“But you-” she paused, her rage dissipating at a moment’s notice and she looked at him with something…

Well, something he never thought he’d ever see directed at him.

She had dropped her shield and the hand which once gripped it was now splayed on his torso. To any passerby it would appear as if she was holding down her opponent, securing her victory, but he could feel that she placed no force behind it.

No matter, he wasn’t planning on moving even if Ragnarok itself approached on the horizon.

Hope sprung in his chest as she opened her mouth to utter words that she couldn’t possibly mean unless this was all a cruel twisted joke.

Before she could finish her thought, however, Thor’s booming voice drifted over from the entrance of the arena.

“Loki? Is that you? Father has been looking for you. Come now, brother, we must discuss the upcoming journey.”

He didn’t react in the slightest to his brother’s beckoning but chose instead to continue staring up at Sif as if she was the sun.

Because to him, she was.

And he would have no qualms burning in her embrace forever.

She stood first, seeing as how he was still a statue - a stark contrast to his usually animated self.

“You should go.” She prodded him lightly in the side with the business end of her sword, urging him to get up or in the least move a muscle. She frowned, glanced up at his brother and uttered the phrase that broke him out of his stupor. 

“Asgard comes first.”

prompt me!
