WARNING!
This is crack to some level trying to be serious. I wrote this on the plane from Denver to London and from London to Paris. It was very early in the morning and very late at night (depending on the time zone).
It was fun and it is dedicated to mrs-plantagenet from Tumblr. For her humor, Joy, love, support and all around crazyness. This is going to be a long one.
Summary: Loki has a secret happy place to recharge. It has been invaded. Now what?
Pair: None so far. Nothing planned. Could change.
Rating: G so far. Who knows.
Disclaimer: I do not own Disney, Disneyland, Loki or the Avengers. They are owned by Disney, Marvel and their other owners adn creators. I am just playing in the sandbox.
I didn't have a beta so all mistakes are my own. Please remember when and where I wrote this.
It was warm.
Comfortably warm, but warm none the less. The sun shone bright in the sky with but a few puffy clouds marring the light canvas. Bright and warm, the sun bathed everything in it's path in soft light.
Tucked and nestled in a near bustling city was a wonder to behold. Lights, sounds, music and fireworks every night brought magic to all who visited. Children delighted in the simple magic of talking birds, enchanted castles and a chance of meeting Prince Charming.
This was Disneyland.
and Loki adored it.
Loki was not one for merriment, Thor would often say. What his despised brother did not know was the truth. Loki enjoyed having fun. He liked to laugh and smile when the mood struck. The difference between the estranged brothers just so happened to be what made them happiest.
For Thor, happiness was an unending mug of Ale, his friends, a feast and the needless killing of animals.
Loki, for his part, enjoyed his books, magic and—loath as he was to admit—children.
It wasn't that he enjoyed interacting with them, per say. Loki enjoyed the magic that shone though their eyes when wonder struck. Adults, in nearly every realm, lost most or all of their magic as they grew. Children were special. Children held a magic within them that, if nurtured correctly, sprouted to elemental magic. If lucky, it could be shaped further into complex spells, charms, jinx, curses or summoning magiks.
Loki had, in one of his many attacks on Midgard, discovered a small section of land called Disney. This land, as he discovered, crawled with fake magic tricks, illusions, unhappy adults and ecstatic children brimming to the peak with tightly contained energies.
The wayward Prince Loki, with guilty pleasure, visited repeatedly. He even acquired what was called an "Annual Pass". On days his plans failed, or he needed to recharge his own magic, Loki passed the time among the lights, sounds, and charming children.
It is here that our story begins. On the day, much like any other day, when Loki makes his rounds of the park only to discover that his favorite spot was to be invaded by Avengers.
