I was talking to a friend and came up with this: "I want a story where Thor (and maybe Loki) is really impressed with Darcy and thinks she's really wise and gives all this great advice but really she's just quoting songs."
And so it begins. I won't be telling you the song or artist she's quoting, though. Try and guess!
(btw I don't own anything)
Thor and Loki were bickering. Again. Darcy had heard their arguments enough to know the pattern. They started with a new grievance – someone didn't put the cereal away, or another equally stupid complaint – and progressed backwards through their history until they reached stories of their toddler years.
The fight had progressed very far yet. Thor was going on about wearing a wedding dress, Mjolnir, and Loki being a woman. Darcy was pretty sure this had happened within the past two centuries. If she didn't intervene now, the two men could keep arguing for hours.
"Boys," she said sweetly. "I'm sure you were both very pretty ladies."
This managed to grab their attention. Thor sputtered unintelligibly at her, obviously not expecting a third party to enter the fray.
"But all that counts is here and now." With that Darcy turned sharply and left the room without a backwards glance.
If she had bothered to look back, she would have seen both gods stare thoughtfully at each other before reaching an apparent truce and heading their separate ways.
