some fluff, some smut. Big stuff happening soon. Please leave some reviews x

Leiyah woke up with the sun tickling her face. She stretched lightly, not wanting to wake Loki beside her. They had been here for two weeks now, tomorrow would be his crowning. Loki had met with Arvid a week ago to look at the crowns he could choose from. But Arvid had insisted to create one for Loki. Loki had tried to protest but it had fallen on deaf ears. Arvid had taken a liking to Loki, being the son, he had never had. Loki and Leiyah had been to almost every single shop in the town. The people loved talking to them, loved hearing their stories and their opinions. Loki had also started practicing magic with Mechel and Leiyah, having learnt a few things and even showed some to Mechel. They would devote 2 hours of every day to studying magic, leaving them in a glowing frenzy, their magic buzzing softly around them. Loki also practiced with Vidal and other guards in the courtyard. Many loved watching them, Leiyah included. With all the things they were doing during their day, they assumed they would be too tired to have sex during the nights, but they were wrong. Every night they would stumble into their bed, on the couches, against the walls and give in to each other. Loki had even made good on his promise and tied her up, her face pressed into a pillow and him thrusting deep into her from behind after he had spanked her a few good times. The next day Leiyah had asked Mechel to teach them about sex magic.

Now Loki was still sleeping comfortably, his breathing even, his hard, pale face relaxed, his hair just falling around him. It had a slight wave to it, Leiyah had started braiding it in different ways. Loki liked it, liked her fingers going through his hair, massaging his head, taking her time to get it perfect. Leiyah still felt Loki's fingers on her arms, her waist, grabbing her thighs. Still felt the pleasant pulse in her neither region. She decided it was time to wake Loki the way he liked to wake her. She magicked their blanket away and looked at her naked husband. Truly a god, the lean muscles, the pale skin, small scars only. Leiyah started kissing along his body, sucking on a few spots she knew he liked. Leiyah bit into his left nipple, moving lower, biting a small spot on his hip. He was hardening slowly. She continued on, licking, sucking and kissing until she got to the tip of his dick. She kissed it, then licked up his length. He groaned and fisted the sheets. She grinned against him and continued licking up his length, following the vein on the underside, along the slit, back down, before she swallowed him whole and started sucking. That awoke him. He looked down and groaned even more. Through her lashes she looked up at him and hummed. He had to throw his head back to stop himself from bucking up. Leiyah had recently trained her gag reflex enough to take him whole, but he did not wish to hurt her. She pulled off him and whispered sweetly, "Good morning, husband."

He bucked at the word and growled, which only made her giggle and move upwards slightly. He was mesmerized by her breasts, as always. She knew it and moved her upper body closer to his hard member. She placed him between her breasts and squeezed, moving herself up and down. "What a way to wake me."

"I thought I'd do it once."

"I will repay you tomorrow." He groaned again as she licked his slit, while still between her breasts.

"Leiyah, let me fuck you."

"As my husband wishes." She moved atop him, smirking down at him, running her hands over her body, feeling her wetness between her thighs. "Will I ever stop craving you?"

He gripped her, "I hope not." She laughed breathlessly at that and slowly sank down. It felt glorious being stretched by him, his thickness fitting inside her so perfectly. Leiyah was holding onto him, bouncing up and down on him and Loki was enjoying the view immensely. "I think we should install a mirror around our bed." She laughed again but it turned into a moan as he hit her sweet spot perfectly.

"I am close."

"Me too."

Leiyah panted, "Want you to come first."

"As you wish." He bucked up harder, faster; chasing his own relief. And it came, emptying himself inside her. She stilled atop him, letting her body claim him. He then pushed her off, moving lower so he could eat her out. Tasting them together would always turn him on, but he knew he had a meeting. So he finished her off quickly, with his tongue alternating between her opening and her clit and two fingers deep insider her. She came with a gasp and her hand in his hair. Loki kissed up to her mouth and hummed into her. "Good morning."

"Morning" she giggled. She stretched and popped her back slightly. "I wish we could spend all day in bed."

He hummed again, "Once we get back to Asgard we can. Nothing to do there."

"But that is why we are here. So we have things to do." He kissed her cheek and then her lips quickly, before moving off the bed to get ready for the day. "What will you be doing today?"

"Preparing the rest for tomorrow. I am so excited for it. I can't wait to see your crown and walk down that aisle with you."

Loki came back minutes later, showered and dressed, his hair still wet. He sat back on the bed, knowing Leiyah would want to play with his hair. She dried it quickly with her magic and then began braiding certain parts to then let them fall loosely to the back again. She didn't talk during that time and Loki was lost in thoughts.

"My boy, your crown is ready." Arvid was beaming as he led Loki deeper into the vaults. Loki had decided on a crown that would complement Leiyah's. It was a dark silver with small star flecks on it, and emerald gems around it. It contrasted his dark hair perfectly and it was as light as a feather. "Are you ready for tomorrow?"

"Yes. I have never felt more prepared for anything, except marrying your daughter."

Arvid laughed and kindly thanked the guard who was protecting the crowns. The old crowns of their ancestors, all shimmering still, the places of the current crowns were empty. The one spot where Leiyah's used to be now had one beside it, with Loki's crown on it. The official royal crowns were preserved behind a shield, hardly ever used. "We are honored to have you joining our court Loki. Your sharp wit and intelligence will prove important for us. As for this alliance. I know I must have seemed hesitant or even unkind to you in the beginning. I must apologize for that, my son. My wife, you see, she has seen great purpose for our daughter in Asgard. She couldn't see you, however. But what she could see was your love and your dedication to each other. I have grown very fond of you, seen you as a son now for a while. I apologize for any harmful or hurtful words I have said before. I hope you can forgive me, in time."

Loki had listened to the man's words, listened to the deep regret and respect in his voice. "Arvid, I assure you, there are no harsh feelings between us. I have been welcomed into your family and home and I could not be more thankful. I hope to do right by your daughter, and that you can see that."

Arvid nodded, "Yes. I can see that. I see it all. And tomorrow Vanaheim will see it."

Loki had, after his initial talk with Leiyah had been paying more attention to the words people spoke about the Allfather. She had been right, there was discontent in many of their voices. He had heard unease, fear and a wish for change. Loki was now looking and holding his crown, it felt right again. It felt like his purpose was continuing. Loki voiced his happiness about the crown and said he would be now looking for Leiyah. He found her sitting in the gardens. Looking at the people in it. She looked beautiful, so simple, yet so elegant. She noticed him; she always did. She beamed at him and Loki was taken aback for a second. He fell more in love with her every single day.

"How was it? Everything to your liking?" She leaned into the kiss he gave her. "Everything was brilliant. How are the preparations?"

"Good and done. I think you will like it."

"I know I will. How is your sister? I haven't seen her in a few days?"

Leiyah's smile dropped, "Not so good I am afraid. She feels sick, but not enough for her to stay in bed."

"Did you go see her?"

"I did. I tried to take some of the work off her. But she denied." Loki saw the worry in his wife and wished to comfort her. "Do you want me to try?"

She gave a small smile, "If she won't let me help, she will certainly not let you help. No offense."

"What can I do to stop you from worrying then?"

She paced around the garden and said quietly, "Can you show me your vision again? Of us. The one about our future." Loki knew which one she wanted to see, he had conjured it up a few times now, the last time when they had thought she had been pregnant. Loki shared his vision, and saw Leiyah's eyes widen again. Saw her finding what she always did. Loki standing next to the chair Leiyah was in. She was obviously pregnant, a belly hidden behind rich mint colored silks, a small blush on her cheek, her hair longer. Loki looked the same, though more relaxed. He smiled down at her, watching her holding her belly, rubbing it absentmindedly. Then a boy, no older than 3, came running towards them, his hair a dark brown, Loki's striking blue- green eyes, her full lips. He was wearing light blues and was giggling. He ran straight into the outstretched arms of his father who twirled him around. He was smiling, a bright and joyous smile. The boy was reaching for Leiyah who gave him a kiss on his head and shot sparks out of her finger tips. The boy giggled even more, which in turn made Leiyah laugh. He tried to catch the sparks and ran around the room. Loki leaned down, put a hand on his wife's belly and kissed her, promising her love. The illusion ended. Leiyah had a tear running down her cheek.

"It will happen, my darling."

She sniffed, "I know. I just… you changed so much for me. You made me want to have things I never considered. I never thought I wanted children. But I want them so badly with you."

"I want them too. You know I do. More than anything in the realms. I would give up everything to have a family with you. And we will have it."

She walked closer and hugged him, neither knowing who was comforting who. She then asked, "What if we have a girl first?"

"Then I will cherish her just as much. I will teach her how to drive a ship, how to fight with knifes, daggers, arrows and swords. We will read her every book know to us, we will show her magic and teach her how to control it. You will paint with her. I will adore our daughters and sons. I will treat them like the royalty they are, teach them they can be anything they set their mind to."

Leiyah had half a mind to push her husband on their bed and try again for a baby but she knew if they did that now, they would not be productive again. They could lazy around in Asgard again. "What do you want to do?"

"In all the time we have been here, you haven't shown me the public library yet." Her eyes lit up. "You are right. Come. It is only a 10 minute walk." He grabbed her hand and they made their way out of the castle, turning a few times, greeting people on the street and finally standing in front of a giant red building. She walked to the doors and pushed them open. Loki saw many people inside, walking around, some sitting at tables, some at the book aisles. This library was twice the size of the royal library inside the castle, which was already bigger than the one they had in Asgard.

"And you did all this?"

"Hardly me alone. Many of the people who work here helped me, along with many volunteers. Do you like it?"

So many tables and sitting options. The lighting wasn't too bright or too dark, the windows magically enhanced so the sun did not penetrate it too much. The shelfs were stacked in safe distances, full rows of books. "It is wonderful. Look at all these people."

"Everyone loves books. I hope we can achieve something like this in Asgard as well."

Loki walked around some, "If we can achieve half of this I will be impressed."

"I have full confidence in us."

"Was this building always a library?"

Leiyah shook her head "No, I did this about 600 years ago. Before that, the old building by the beach was the library. There is a restaurant in there now. But because it was so close to the water, books got damaged, and the building was too old and too far away. This building was empty, so I bought it. It is a lot closer to the city center and safer as well."

"How did you get the word out?"

"Flyers, talking to people, sending out messages."

"You are an inspiration."

She smiled and blushed slightly, lowering her head. Leiyah then suddenly gripped the railing and held herself.

"Leiyah?"

She waved him off, and straightened, "It is nothing. Just felt a little queasy. I hope I did not attract what Serelle has."

"If you wish I can bring you to the hospital?"

Leiyah shook her head and continued walking, "No worries. It is gone now. Come, let me show you our Asgardian section." The section was large, showing a clear structure. Loki recognized most titles and smiled at some once they got to the fictional texts. The Midgardian section was slightly smaller, but as the rest of the library, it was nicely structured and looked like it had frequent visitors. "The setup is almost the same as the royal library."

She nodded, "There are only a few books that are select for the royal one. Knowledge only we should have."

"Interesting."

"People should be allowed to learn. But some things are better left only to us." Loki nodded, his wife truly was smart.

It was the day of the coronation and Loki was sitting in the bathtub, Leiyah in front of him. "I could stay like this."

"We'd look like prunes."

He splashed her lightly, to which she giggled. But he pulled her closer and inhaled her scent. She was stroking his legs and asked, "Are you ready for today?"

He hummed in agreement, his own hands wandering now. She swatted him away, "Weren't the 2 rounds this morning enough?"

"Never." He nipped her ear and she shrieked. She moved away from him and turned, laying her hands on his chest to push him back slightly. "I thought by now we would be less inclined to rip each other's clothes off. We have been married for almost a year now."

"Good thing our clothes are already off."

Leiyah laughed, "You know what I mean. In almost 6 weeks we will have been married for a year."

He moved closer again, "Yes. The best year of my life. And no."

"No?"

"No I will never not want to fuck you."

Her eyes darkened slightly and she pushed him away again, "There is still much to do before the ceremony."

"Mhh, I can be fast."

She climbed on top of him, feeling his hardness. "Really fast." A kiss and she sat down on him. He hissed into her kiss but gripped her tightly, setting a fast pace. The water was splashing everywhere but neither cared, needing a fast relief. And it came. Both kissing and laughing now, more relaxed than before. She climbed off him and pushed him back down.

"Now let me wash you."

"I want to wash you as well."

"Not today. This is your day. Let me. Sit back and relax." He did and she sat on the tub behind him, pouring some soap into her hands and started massaging it into his hair. "Beautiful hair." He loved her doing this. It could put him to sleep but she started washing it off. She got a sponge and small towel and moved over his body, making him clean and relaxed. "You can come out in a few minutes. I will shower quickly." And she did. The shower was warm and relaxing, exactly what she needed. She had been feeling unwell for a few days now. Nothing too serious, just some uneasiness and fatigue. She wondered many times if perhaps this was the sickness her sister had, as she had the same symptoms a week before it truly hit her. She dried herself off and curled her hair with magic, at least that was still working normally. Leiyah then beckoned Loki to come out of the bath to dry him off, lotion him up and give him a small massage. She had started doing that weekly now and he was so much more relaxed. Leiyah braided his hair slightly, only on the sides and let her fingers smooth over his head and face, relaxing him completely.

"What will you be wearing?"

"A matching dark blue outfit to yours, my darling husband." And it truly was a beautiful gown. Long, with a train in the back, stars shining on it, flowy. It was tight under the bust area and flowed out from there. Her breasts were pressed together and there were slight flowy sleeves on it. She looked beautiful.

"Thank you. Get dressed." And he did and she was arranging her jewelry, ending with her crown on top. Soon he would have the matching piece to hers. Serelle knocked. "It is time."

Loki straightened and nodded, looking at his wife again. She heard the door close and walked over to him to give him a hug. She could see it in his eyes, he needed her reassurance. And she would always be there to give it. "Thank you."

"Are you ready?" He nodded again and she took his hand, walking together to the hall. Serelle was waiting there.

"Remember, you walk in, you agree to father's vows and Leiyah crowns you. Simple as that."

Another nod. Serelle winked and walked to the right of her father as heir. Leiyah held Loki's hand tightly, "Whenever you are ready."

He straightened, positioned them properly, winked at her and nodded for the guards to open the doors. Music. People. They started walking. The people waved, smiled and cheered. Loki would not admit it but he was nervous. He did not know why though, it was a strange feeling. Leiyah was grinning beside him, holding his hand tightly to ground him. They reached the end and Arvid started his speech. "My fellow Vanaheimians. My friends. We are here to honor our newest member. The husband of our own princess Leiyah." More cheers.

"Loki of Asgard has proven to be a good husband and man. He has proven to be worthy of the title prince of Vanaheim. Now Loki, I must ask you. Do you cherish the realm and the people of Vanaheim?"

"I do."

"Do you plan on bringing your wisdom and skills to help and protect our realm?"

"I do."

"Will you allow your children the honor of a royal title of Vanaheim, as well as learning our customs and traditions."

"I will."

"Do you accept to keep our doings, our realm, a secret from others?"

"I do."

"Will you honor the title of prince of Vanaheim, fulfilling your duties, not just to the realm, but to your wife?"

"I will."

"Will you stand behind the heir of Vanaheim, protect her and advise her if needed?"

"I will."

"Then," Arvid smiled, "I will gladly grant you the title of prince of Vanaheim, as well as your children and their children. I will accept you in our ranks, involve you in our doings and protect you in return. Princess Serelle, please bestow your blessing."

Serelle stepped forward, smiling, "Prince Loki, I gladly accept you into our house, our home, our family and into this realm."

Loki tried to bow even lower.

"Princess Leiyah, please place the crown on top of prince Loki's head."

Leiyah moved in front of her husband, pride shining in her eyes. Serelle moved beside her, holding the crown on a pillow. Leiyah picked it up, carefully placing the crown on his head. "Rise, prince Loki of Vanaheim. Rise and accept your title." Loki looked up and stood, Leiyah moving to the left immediately, Arvid on his right, Serelle on his right. Loki saw the people and bowed to them, which elicited cheers and screams of "Prince Loki."

Arvid clapped and said loudly, "Now let us all feast." The people cleared and tables of food appeared as well as a free space in the middle in front of the thrones. Underneath the thrones was now a table, set for the family. Kaylina and Arvid made their way there already, while Serelle was talking to the couple, "You did great."

"Really? I don't know why, but I was nervous."

"I was too. It is a big responsibility. But I think you will do great."

"Thank you. Sister." Serelle smiled at the endearment and hugged him before joining her father on his right. Leiyah took his hands and looked into his eyes, "Everything alright?"

He nodded, and gave her two small kisses on her hands. "Thank you, for being my anchor."

"Anytime. I love the crown. It matches."

"I knew you would."

"Want to eat?"

"Drink more. Don't know if I am able to eat."

She chuckled slightly and pulled him towards the table. She sat to her mother's left and Loki at her side. At home he had always felt like an outsider, sitting to the left of his mother, but here he felt welcome, like the space was his. He did manage to eat, marveling at some dishes he had never had before and making pleasant conversation with the family, as much as they could. After the meal, many came up to congratulate Loki, wishing him well in all his endeavors and talking to the family.

Trumpets sounded and servants rushed to clear a way from the entry hall to the royal family. A small group entered, in the front a tall, older woman was walking, wearing dark red robes and a crown of pure gold and rubies. Leiyah gasped and took his hand, willing him to stand along with the rest of the family. Arvid and the rest walked around the table, and he extended his arms to the woman. "Mother. How nice of you to join us." The woman kissed her son on each cheek and replied, "I apologize for being late, but age has caught up with me."

Kaylina hugged her mother- in law and Serelle did the same. Leiyah then stood in front of her and hugged her tightly, "Grandmamma. I am happy to see you again."

"Me too, my little star. Now introduce me to your husband."

"Of course, Grandmamma, this is Loki, prince of Asgard and Vanaheim. Loki, this is my grandmother, Regiana."

Loki bowed and kissed her hand, "An honor."

"What a handsome gentleman. It is wonderful to have you join our family."

Arvid cleared his throat, "Mother, please sit with us. We have not had dessert yet."

A sparkle in her eyes, "Ah, good. The only important part of a meal. I came at the correct time." Serelle and Leiyah giggled and a new place was made at the table, between Arvid and Leiyah. Leiyah started asking her questions, "How have you been? I wish I could have seen you again before I left."

"Oh my little star, I have missed you. I have been fine, traveling mostly. Visiting parts of our realm, some I haven't seen since your grandpappa was king. And then suddenly you were gone, married at that too. Now my little star, are you happy?"

Looking at Loki, Leiyah smiled and answered, "Yes. Very much."

"Good, good. And you are being treated well?"

"Of course."

She turned to Loki, "My boy, what do you think of married life? My late husband found the first few years dreadful."

Leiyah explained, "My grandparents had an arranged marriage."

"Yes, Thomial was not happy being married to me at first. We were happy after a while but he refused to spend time with me at first"

Loki answered, "I can't say I relate. I enjoy being married to Leiyah. I get to spend every day with my best friend."

"How times have changed. I don't think they still do the consummation ceremony, do they?"

Leiyah asked, "The what?"

"Consummation ceremony. After the wedding feast the couple would be accompanied to the wedding suite and would then need to consummate the marriage in front of the royal guests. To ensure it actually happened, and it would be done every year on the anniversary until a child was there."

"What?"

"Yes, we went through it a lot. It was not pleasant. He did not touch me too much the first few years, only during the ceremony."

Loki shot a look at Leiyah, remembering their quick fuck in the tub before, and the night before. Leiyah flushed slightly, pressing her thighs together. "I can't believe people actually did that."

The grandmother asked, "I assume you consummated the marriage?"

Serelle appeared and sat with them, only to answer, "Oh yes, grandmamma, they did. Many times."

"Serelle!"

"No. It is good. Now we can only hope that the sex is good." Loki tightened his grip on Leiyah's leg, his magic moving up her leg, reminding her of all the times he made her moan, all the times he had gripped her hips tighter, plunged deep into her. Leiyah pressed her thighs even more together and now gripped Loki's hand.
Serelle was about to open her mouth but then Leiyah slammed a cupcake into her mouth with magic. Serelle looked shocked before she started laughing. She then proceeded to eat the cupcake before apologizing, "Alright, alright. I will stop pestering you about your sex life."

Regiana protested, "There is nothing to be ashamed about. It is a natural part of married life. If Loki and Leiyah are having a good and healthy sex life then that means they are happy and relaxed."

"Thank you grandmamma, but if we could stop this discussion I would be very grateful."

"As you wish. Loki, tell me, what magic do you possess?"

"I can create illusions and frost magic, as well as using my aesir to get into the minds of others."

"Very impressive. I myself have been able to use illusions. I have hardly used my magic in a long time though."

Loki asked, "Was your husband still king when Leiyah was born?"

"No, he abdicated a year after Serelle was born. It got too much for him, he was old and his mind started to stray. Arvid took over the throne. We stayed in the palace another 400 years, then moved to a smaller estate on the eastern side of the realm, visited often. Then almost 150 years ago, my dear husband died. He lived a long and happy life, but he would not have lived as long as he did if he had stayed king."

"I am sorry for your loss."

"It was many years ago, and we all will die one day. Has Leiyah showed you her library?"

"Yes. She did a wonderful job."

"She has an eye for organization."

Loki smiled at his wife. She smiled back, took a bite off her cherry tarte and grimaced slightly. "Are you alright?"

"Yes. I think I am just full, I should not be eating more."

Loki cast a worried look at her, "If you do not feel better in a few days, we should go see a medic."

"Yes, my love. Would you like to dance?"

"With you, always." He took her hand and guided her to the floor, music started and after a few minutes more people joined them.
