Greetings my fellow fanfictioneers,
I'm not new to fanfiction though this is a new account, I got tired of seeing all the stories I lost inspiration for staring at me like zits in a mirror, so I decided to make a clean slate for myself.
This is my first Thor/Avengers fanfiction and I doubt it will be the last for I am planning on making a series of Loki-based one-shots centering around his thoughts and views from various scenes from both the movie Thor and The Avengers and in between. I may or may not just add them on as different chapters. Please review and give me constructive criticism , no flames please. You don't have like what I write but there's no reason to be rude about it.
I will try to get more done as quickly as I can but with Rift and now the release of Guild Wars 2, my time at home is...occupied, so I get most of my writing in while I'm at work. Thankfully, my job entails lots and lots of standing around and doing nothing in front of a computer so as long as it's a slow day at the office, I should be able to finish up another one in the next day or two.
This takes place at the end of Thor, right after Thor destroys the Bifrost.
Italics are Loki's thoughts
quotations are spoken words (duh)
Loki stared up into the strained faces of the men who he called Father and Brother. He could see the love in their eyes; even after all that he had done, they would not abandon him. Thor had grabbed the end of his spear when the blast threatened to send them both into the abyss and Odin, who had appeared just in time to save them both, stood on the edge of the shattered Bifrost, gripped Thor's ankle, saving them both. Loki could tell the great King was exhausted and straining from the two's weight but he would not let go. The King would not let them fall. Tears welled in his eyes as Loki stared up into the face of his father, "I could have done it Father! I could have done it, for you. For all of us."
Odin looked down at his wayward son sadly, Loki felt as if the great Allfather would remain silent, until finally the wise king spoke sullenly, "No Loki."
So simple of statement, so few words and yet they hit Loki like a ton of bricks. He searched his father's face, desperate to see the meaning of so simple of statement, he could see exhaustion, love but above all else, Loki could see pity and disappointment...disappointment in me, Loki thought. He looked to his brother, Thor, God of Thunder, always the optimist, wearing a reassuring smile, his blue eyes twinkling. Thor loved him, no one could as for a better brother. No matter how many times or how badly Loki betrayed him, Thor would still love him. A sad realization suddenly hit Loki, I don't belong here. They are so good, but I, I only bring destruction and chaos...he looked back to Odin, saying his silent good bye, Loki then gave one last glance at Thor. His brother must have seen the change in Loki's face for his expression changed to horror, "Loki no!" but it was too late, Loki was set on his decision and he let go.
As he watched everything he had even known shrink in the distance, a new sense of freedom washed over him, Even though death awaits me, I am free... "Good bye...my brother," Loki whispered as he turned away from the life he once knew and towards the unknown that awaited him.
Well, that's it for round one.
I know some of you are wondering a few things, like if I interpreted this scene in the movie as Loki not wanting the burden his family then how did he go from that to 'Destroy everything' in the Avengers? Ooooh hohoooo that is for me to know and for you to find out in the next installment.
Stay tuned for more adventures!
