Author's Note: Because Loki. And why not? Enjoy!

And what, pray tell, were you expecting?

That I should rend my garments,

Fall to my knees,

Begging your mercy?

Hardly.

I ask for nothing but the chance

To do all I've done over again,

And emerge from the shadow of

My golden brother

At last.

Your mercy is the last thing I crave,

Your love only a little more,

And I will never

Bow for you again.
