Chapter I

Thor felt the ground underneath his feet, felt how the force of gravitiy affected his body and how his legs started to carry his weight again. He breathed in shortly, hesitantely and starred into the darkness surrounding him.
He reached out for the balcony door and gave it a soft knock.
A few seconds passed while his heart started to pound lounder and lounder in his chest. Nothing happened.
The seconds seemed like an eternity to the god as he leaned his forehead against the cold glas impatiently. He tried to make something out in the dark apartement, while his breath clouded the glass.
Then, finally, she appeared on the other side of the door and flashed him a smile through the darkness, while she opened it. He stepped in swiftly and eyed the beloved person for a short moment before he caught her in his arms and sealed their lips.
Four years had passed since Lokis death. Thor commuted between the worlds, although he stayed in Midgard more often and longer then in the other worlds. His father Odin allowed him to do so. Thor was certain that the Allfather did not approve of how things went but he let his one and only son do as he liked and Thor was grateful for that.
It had to be due to Lokis death that Odin had changed so much, at least Thor wanted to believe so. He repressed the other possible reason into the darkest corner of his mind.
He slowly broke the kiss and looked deeply in the eyes of the woman that he loved. Although it has only been four years with that woman and he had deeply enjoyed them, it pained him to see her age. She was obviously not a woman that one would call old, but Thor could not bear his own sight in a mirror that has not changed in years.
He was a god, son of Odin, and he led a different life, different from a human life that passed so unbelievably fast and that could be erased at any moment.
He flashed her a smile and she gave him a sigh.
'Three weeks', she scolded him, 'it has been three 'short' weeks. I was afraid it could turn out to be years again!'
Laughing she wrapped her arms around his shoulders. Although she did not sound accusingly Thor knew that she really had been afraid that he could dissappear for months again.
Thor placed an apologetic kiss on her soft lips. He soon let go of her and started to rummage in the bag he carried with him.
'I have a gift for you...I hope you like it', he hummed and gave her an ancient looking book, wrapped in green leather. The Cover showed a strange cryptic writing and the celtic infinity knot.
For a moment he believed he saw Jane freeze, then she gave him an irritated look.
'What is this?'
'It belonged to my br-..It belonged to Loki. It was his favourite book, i watched him reading it so many times. It is written in a very old language, but i hope you like it although you won't be able to read it.'
Thor tried to point out how important this present was to him. He held it out to Jane until she reached out for it and gave a long close look to it.
'I don't think I will have any use for this...', Thor seemd to be disappointed, but Jane kissed his cheek softly. 'But I'm happy...because it's from you and I want to learn more about your world.' She flipped through the ancient pages before she sighed silently.
'But i have never seen such a writing, do you know what language this is?', she asked, her voice fading when she focused the writing on one of the pages.
'No, only Loki was able to read it.'
'Only...Loki?'
'Yes, he tought himself many old languages so he could read any book or scroll. Our father always thought this to be unnecessary and scolded him for it often.'
Jane did not answer him, she was too lost in the book. The Thundergod watched her closely and realised how similar she was to Loki. She had the same spark in her eyes, the same look on her face, she watched the pages with the same greed for knowledge.
Thor was startled when she suddenly closed the book with a loud clap and gave him smile.
'I don't understand a thing, but it's a nice present - really', she said, still smiling and then reached out for one of his hands.
'We should go to bed, it's really cold here.'
She walked past him and closed the still open balcony door, then she went off to their bed. The darkness engulfed her, as Thor watched her go.
He undressed while he followed her and laid down on the cold bedsheets with Jane. He wrapped his arms around her and only now realised how cold she was. How long had they been standing out there since he had appeared? He did not know.
Time always flew with Jane by his side. Sometimes too fast for his liking.
Jane placed her head on his chest and was asleep soon. He would have happily agreed to a longer night with Jane, but in the past few years it had never come to this. Everytime he had tried to approach that topic she had found a way out.
Maybe that was the way how humans were, Thor thought. Maybe Asgardians were different with their feast and their mead. In his world people lived a different life. In his world people lived longer. The god was always pressed unter time when he was around Jane, maybe he needed to give her a little more time - he did not know. For now he had missed the opportunity and he let himself sink into the silence of sleep. His senses slipped from him and went their own ways, rooting deeply in his subconciousness and drinking out of the depths of his person.
'Loki...',was his last thought before he fell into a deep sleep.

I really hope you enjoyed the first chapter. ^-^
Since English is not my native language...IS THERE ANYONE WHO WOULD VOLUNTEER TO BE MY BETA-READER? I've tried my best to translate it...but i KNOW that my grammer is not the best (not even thinking about the spelling mistakes here). T-T

If you want to read the German version you can do it here:

Or even here:
fanfiction/ffname/sturm%20und%20stille/325280/

I'm really happy about every comment I receive, it helps when people let me know that they are still interested in my stories.
Up until now I've written 14 chapters, it'll take me a while to translate them though.

See you around hopefully! :3
