Well like many, the Loki S2 finale has me still reeling and I have had this little drabble on my brain and had to get it out. I am not really a writer, I've not written a fic since I was a teenager probably lol so be easy on me but alas, I hope this is enjoyed by those who also just couldn't bear the thought of Loki being alone at the end of time forever.
Tumblr media
Description: Loki uses his time slipping abilities to talk to you one last time before making the decision he knows he has to in order to save those he loves. But, you aren't so willing to let him condemn himself to an eternity alone, or yourself to a lifetime without him.
Word Count: 1367
Warnings: DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVENT SEEN LOKI S2 EP6!! Angst, sadness, happy ending mostly
••••••••••••••
"How are you doing this?", you asked as you watched strands of space and time float around you and Loki throughout A.D Doug's workshop.
"We're outside of time. Darling, I had to see you. I had to speak to you." Loki said, a sorrowful look on his face that you had never seen before. "The Loom, it was a failsafe all along. And no amount of scaling can account for infinite timelines. I thought we had it, I really did", he explained.
"Damnit, we should have known it would be...", you lamented.
"I spent centuries trying to figure it out, and it was all for nothing."
"Centuries?" you questioned.
"It's hard to explain" he responded. "Darling, there are only two options. Go back and kill Sylvie before she kills He Who Remains and allow the Sacred Timeline to continue--"
You cut him off. "You can't Loki! The Sacred Timeline is full of misery, injustice, and sadness - what the TVA stood for under He Who Remains was all wrong! We can't go back to that. And you know you could never kill Sylvie...not after everything we have all been through together."
"I know...", he said, a sad knowing in his voice and his eyes. "But there is one other way."
"And what's that?"
"Me".
"What? You? I don't understand Loki..." you said cautiously.
"The finite power of a machine can never handle the infinite timelines of a multiverse, but the infinite power of a God can", he said as he watched your face intently for any hint of reaction.
It took a moment as you stared at him, blinking. "Do you mean..." you questioned, as the realization of what he was saying started to set in.
"Yes, my love. Believe me, if there was any other way, I swear I would take it. But there isn't. I know what kind of God I need to be, for you, for all of us. It's the only way."
"Loki, if this is what you have to do, then please, take me with you at least!" you implored.
"My darling y/n, you know I can not do that. I must bear this burden alone, and you must go live your life on the timeline, the one you deserve to have. I could never condemn you to an eternity of solitude at the End of Time", he said sorrowfully.
"But you'll condemn me to a life of solitude on Earth? Loki, I can't live without you. There's no life for me down there if it's not with you! Please, as long as our friends are happy, and I'm with you, that's all I'll need. Please let me go with you!". The last part came out as a sob as your emotions got the best of you. You couldn't believe what he was talking about doing, the sacrifice he planned to make for the ones he loved.
"When I go back there, to that moment in time, you won't remember any of this. You won't know you said you wanted to go with me," he reminded you.
"Loki, every version of me across space and time would go with you. Even into the abyss, if that's where you have to go. I will follow you, I know I will!" you fully sobbed out as you threw your arms around him. The thought of him leaving you was killing you.
"They'll stop you if you try to follow me, you know that" he said, speaking of your friends back at the TVA.
"Then tell them not to Loki! Please, I'm begging. My place is beside you, always and forever, no matter where that place is."
And then Loki was gone and everything turned to spaghetti.
••••••••••••••
Loki slipped effortlessly back to just the right moment in the Loom control room, having been here in this moment over and over for centuries. This time though, it was different. This time, it was the last time. Loki looked over at you and his friends with a sad and knowing smile on his face. And then with one last look, he turned and ran down the stairs towards the blast doors. He knew he could keep you from following, lock the doors behind him with impenetrable magic. But he also knew that in your heart, you would never want to be without him. You would resent him forever if he left you on Earth alone.
You, Sylvie, and Mobius ran down the stairs after him immediately, but he was already through the airlock doors. The three of you watched Loki open the blast doors with his magic and start to step outside, absent of any protective suit. As you reached out to open the airlock door and go after him, Mobius pulled you back.
"Mobius, I have to go! I have to get to him!!!" you screamed.
"You can't! The temporal radiation will kill you if you open that door and go out there, you know that!"
"But it's going to kill HIM!" you cried out as you watched Loki walk out onto the walkway.
But something amazing started to happen. As the temporal energy shredded his TVA clothes away with every passing second, something else began to take it's place. Flowing dark green linen draped his form, traditional and humble shoes appeared on his feet, and a horned crown adorned his head. He looked absolutely Godlike and regal. As Loki walked closer to the Loom - this imperfect piece of machinery that took so much from so many - he lifted his hands, called upon his magic, and destroyed it in a flash of bright green and white light.
Then, there was darkness. Loki wasn't done, though. He reached out to grab a strand of time and suddenly it glowed back to life, his beautiful green magic allowing it to thrive. He grabbed another, and another. You, Mobius, and Sylvie stood silently in the airlock, watching as Loki brought the timelines back to life, one by one, gathering them in his hands. Above him, a chasm opened in the sky, revealing the End of Time. Loki looked back one last time at the 3 of you back in the airlock. He had no idea if you would really come after him like you said - but he wanted to see your face one last time if it was truly to be the last. Your eyes locked, and you knew now that the temporal energy was gone, there was no threat if you left the airlock.
"I have to go with him." you said to Mobius and Sylvie. "His worst fear is to be alone, and he is going to condemn himself to a lifetime of loneliness to save us all!" you said as you opened the door.
"Y/n, please! Stop! You don't know what you're giving yourself to." This time, it was Sylvie who pulled you back, holding your arm so you couldn't run down the walkway.
"Yes, I do. I'm giving myself to love. I'm giving myself to free will, to choice, to hope." you said.
"Sylvie, let her go," Loki called out. "It's going to be okay." he assured.
Sylvie let go of you hesitantly, and you started your walk out to Loki. When you reached him, he could not take your hand, but you took his arm. Together, you began to ascend the invisible stairs to the End of Time as he held the reanimated timelines in his hands. As you both crossed the threshold of the chasm to the End of Time, He Who Remains' throne and the ruins of his citadel came into view. Loki walked forward to the throne, the one he never wanted but was always destined to have. The timelines took on the beautiful form of a tree - Yggdrasil, the tree of life - the tree of the multiverse that Loki would tend to for eternity.
"This is where I'll have to stay forever, darling. I can never leave, never move. Tending to the timelines is my glorious purpose, my eternal burden. Are you truly willing to stay here with me?" he inquired.
"Yes, my love", you answered without hesitation.
"For all time?" He asked.
"Always".

Frostiron AU (Loki: Season 2) | What if Loki time-slips and finds Tony? (Alternative) | Spoilers for Episode 4 & 5!
Part I / Part II / Part III
This is an AU where Loki and Tony were both in a relationship before the whole 2012 events of Avengers (which caused a major schism in their relationship). This Loki never had a chance to apologise before he is brought to the TVA, then told of Tony's inevitable fixed fate in Avengers: End Game.
The events of Season 1 happen, and then Loki is left to deal with his loss. But then at the start of Season 2, Loki starts time-slipping and keeps returning to Tony. Eventually Tony becomes involved in saving the Loom, but they are too late and the Loom explodes, causing all timelines, including Tony's, to reset.
At the end of Episode 5 when the gang is brought back together with the help of OB, they are once more cornered as the universe starts to destroy all the timelines. Loki is forced to see all his friends start to disappear, and then finally Tony - who had played a part in this group of misfits - also disappears before his eyes.
And this is what triggers Loki's evolution, unlocking his ability to control his time slipping.

Like imagine an AU where Loki actually loves his kids.
Tbh, I wish that was the route Rick went with him. Rick seems to just have an aversion to having villains love their kids even when they cannonically (in myth) are good parents! Like Nyx and Gaia are all stated to be loving mothers yet HoO (and i heard TSATS too?) has them see their kids as expendable?
And do you know how much drama and angst it could bring? For both sides? Like that's Samirah and Alex's MOM/DAD they're fighting. Thats Loki's kids he's fighting!
And I wonder how much would actually change in the books if Loki isnt pure fucking evil and is actually a good parent?
Anyone have ideas?

I will never forgive Marvel for how they first cowardly played down Loki (and Sylvie’s) queer identities and then retconned and wasted the potential of their romance and I will never trust the MCU again
My former comfort ship now only makes me mad and sad and frustrated

It is absolutely necessary to rewrite season 2 of Loki where Sylki is endgame and happy, but where Loki still becomes the God of stories and where Sylvie becomes the Goddess of free will. I can see them becoming masters / guardians of time together, or going to live in a reality where no Loki variant exists. Or maybe we can combine the two ? After all, they can choose where to live and always reign over time together.

Summary:
Loki, newly escaped from the Avengers and Thanos, is captured by the Time Variance Authority, who need his help. After failing to negotiate his way out of their grasp, Loki realizes he has jumped from one master to another and he has to give into their demands to stay alive. (gen)
[episode 1 in my Loki series rewrite]
+ Loki was Tortured by Thanos and we’re addressing that properly
+a plot that revolves around Loki
+ The show!! with consistent development and actual relationships between the characters

I feel it's not fair that tva agents just not having punishment for what they did, I meant yeah they hot brain washing but they still have choice and option yet they showing they enjoying torture other peoples
So I will give them punishment in my story the timelinea that they send to the void for getting worst than death, they becoming an entity and the entity want tva workers got punishment. The entity will vore tva worker's souls and make them suffer, the only reason why the entity not attack tva base it was because my oc, she protecting a person but unfortunately tva workers are packet of deal so she protect everyone but she can't hold the entity forever , they will come and claims they justice
But fortunately for tva worker if they change becoming good and better person the entitiy will only kill them slow painfully and let they souls do to afterlife but if they not thw entity will eat their soul and make them suffer for eternity.
So what do you think about this punishment? Is this too cruel or not enough cruel?
I don't necessarily need them to be "punished" I just want the narrative to unequivocally show what they are doing is wrong. Have the character actually have the face what the did with the ends justify the means treated as the cowardly excuse it is.
Not that I'm against them getting the Twilight Zone twist and they themselves being but on trial and condemn for doing harm to the multiverse. These smug bootlicks having to face a true cosmic entity like the watchers, Eternity or death herself and realizing just how small and insignificant they are, love it.
They characters that individuals could be redeem but if so they need to admit what they did first and not just go, "I thought I had a good reason to strip and murdered children" and then proceed as if they were always good guys. They have to work to make up for what they did.

Since kang is gone i wanted share this idea I saw a art on Pinterest for-
part 1 out of ??? (part 2)
An au where older loki is revealed to be he who remains at the end of time, kinda like how in agent of Asgard it was revealed older loki was trying to kill his younger self, something like that, but older loki was trying to get rid of his past of being a villain by removing all his variants so they don't end up as the faith as him which is always dying by more powerful beings
I think this older loki would the comic of classic mad loki- (which I love alot lmao-) but more powerful to the point he removed his timeline and created the TVA to erase his variants and since he needs someone to replace him when he gets over thrown that's where TVA loki comes in, he was supposed to be the next he who remains
Idk it's a work in progress au- I will change it when I re-read agent of asgard

Alligator Loki is the shapeshifter of the team. He only does reptiles though. Especially dinosaurs.

Metaphors that probably only make sense to me:
If Loki is Yggdrasil, Sylvie should be Bifrost, the link between worlds, or even Ratatoskr, the messenger squirrel. The connection between Loki and Sylvie tying the multiverse together like a string of fate.
