Okay so you see a lot of fics to where Laufey sees Loki's hand turn blue and finds out he's his lost son. You see ones where he wants Loki dead all together, but then you see ones where he wants him back but for multiple reasons.

This is a Thorki fic, my first one, and I'm asking you to please bear with me here because I'm not entirely familiar with the Norse myths or the actual comic series I just go by the movies which are good even if the lines aren't how they should be.

Summary:

Laufey didn't abandon Loki, he left him in the temple to keep him safe. When Thor and his friends march into Jotunheim Laufey immediately recognizes his son, feared to be dead but now alive and the foster brother of Thor Odinson. He takes Loki back, and Loki wants to go home but when he meets his true family what will he do? Thor wants Loki back too, but as the two are pulled further apart they start to realize their feelings go deeper for each other than just brothers.

Jotunheim:

It couldn't be, it just couldn't…not in few millennia could it be possible for the sight Laufey just witnessed with his own eyes. Prince Thor Odinson and a group of warriors had marched into Jotunheim demanding answers of the ruined coronation ceremony, and while Laufey offered them a chance to leave one of his own warriors goaded the foolish prince into battle. A fight broke out, and the warriors seemed to hold their own until two were injured, one stabbed by an icepick and the other burned from the touch of a Jotun's skin.

'It's…' Laufey's eyes widened in shock when he saw one warrior grab the younger prince's arm and it began to turn blue. He looked closely at the boy, and the face resembled that of his beloved queen Farbauti who had been killed the night they lost the casket to Odin the Allfather.

He watched as the boy killed the Jotun holding him, and saw the shock on his face. Did he not know? Odin had stolen Laufey's youngest child, and kept his heritage from him? He would have to fix this, after all if he knew how the Allfather worked he would be showing up soon.

"THOR!" the female warrior cried out holding the wounded blonde one.

"WE MUST GO!" the younger prince screamed.

"THEN GO!" the foolish prince continued to battle, he enjoyed killing of those he believed were beneath him. He was so much like Odin had been at that age, but Odin had grown up. The other Jotuns chased the group to the ice cliffs, and they called for the gatekeeper but received no response. The giant ice beast Laufey summoned went over the cliff, but just as they were surrounded a light shot down from the sky and Odin appeared on a horse with eight legs.

'Allfather…' Laufey nearly growled.

"Father! We'll finish them together!" the prince boasted proudly but Odin glared at him.

"SILENCE!" he was not please, and Laufey made his way to the top to face the old king.

"Allfather, you look weary." he leered at the man, Odin looked so aged but Laufey felt no pity for him.

"Laufey end this now, there need not be any more bloodshed today."

"Your boy sought this out; this is an act of war on his part." Laufey looked to both princes, and locked his eyes on Loki. "Yet I agree we need not fight, if you agree to a condition."

"And what is that?" Laufey looked at Loki again; he saw the fear in the boy's eyes clear as day but the mask was back up.

"Return the child you stole from me, and I will let your real son leave with you and his allies." the warriors all gaped. Even the Jotuns around their king were shocked.

"How dare you accuse my father of such allegations!" the golden prince held up his hammer ready to strike but Odin stopped him.

"Your condition is a great one Laufey, but I stole no child." Odin looked at Loki. "I saved him from the temple, he was left there."

"For protection." Laufey glared. "My queen and youngest son were in the temple for protection in the war, and when I went to find them my queen was dead and my son was gone. Now I find that you took him from me, when I feared the worst." Odin seemed skeptical, but Laufey wasn't backing down. "You took the casket, our livelihood, and you stole my son Loptr."

"Laufey…this is still something I cannot agree to immediately, we will need time."

"Father you cannot be serious!" Thor stood in front of Loki, and Odin sighed. It was clear to Laufey the man likely did think Loptr was abandoned, but it was no excuse.

"You will give me time to consider, and you will have your answer." Laufey looked and knew this would not be easy, but either way he would not give up the chance to have his youngest child back.

"I will give you three days to contemplate this, and if you do not agree we will enact war. We will not ask for the casket back yet." Odin nodded and turned to his son and the rest.

"We will return to Asgard now, Heimdall!" the Jotuns moved back as the light carried them away. Laufey stared up in the spot where the light vanished, and by his side came his firstborn son Helbindi and his second born Bylsteir.

"Father, was that truly our brother?" they too had seen the younger prince, and almost couldn't believe it. When their mother had died they were grief stricken and more when their baby brother vanished, now to find out their Loptr was alive it was almost impossible to believe.

"It was, and we will have him back."

"We must wait then." Bylsteir growled, he had been furious about the Asgardians from the war, and now it angered him to know their brother had been taken and raised among them.

"Yes, and regardless of his decisions the Allfather will return him to us."

Asgard, Bifrost gateway:

"Father why did you agree?!" Thor was furious when they returned to the gate, and while the other warriors went off to the healing rooms Odin angrily turned to Thor.

"Do you realize what you've done?" he had never been so angry with Thor, to disobey his orders and now the secret of Loki's heritage was almost out.

"I am the future king of Asgard, the kingdom needs to be protected and feared by all Jotuns! What did Laufey mean when he said you stole a child of his?! Why did you agree to contemplate his lies?!"

"Enough!" Odin was about close to banishing Thor, but he couldn't yet. "Both of you follow me, we will find your mother and go to the weapons vault." Odin saw the look of confusion and pleading on Loki's face, he couldn't keep up the lies anymore. Thor wanted to protest but Odin silenced him and they left for the castle; the guards summoned Frigga and they entered the weapons vault. The Casket was glowing faintly on its stand, and Odin went to stand behind it.

"Odin…" Frigga had fear in her eyes.

"It's time Frigga…" they had hoped to keep the truth from Loki to protect him, but now they had to tell him and Thor. "In the battle against Jotunheim, the casket was not the only thing I took." he looked to his sons, and to Loki who's fear was increasing.

"No…" Loki had tears forming in his eyes.

"In the aftermath I went into the temple and I found a baby, crying and alone. I thought he'd been abandoned because he was small for a giant's offspring, and I saw on the ground a body of a woman…an ice maiden I believed to be killed from the destruction. I could see she was the child's mother, and I took the baby with me here."

"Father…" Thor was stunned; he couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"Loki, you are that child." Loki looked ready to explode, tears were falling from his eyes and he shook his head in disbelief.

"Loki shh.." Frigga took him into her arms and he collapsed. Loki looked so broken, and Odin didn't want to turn him over to the Jotuns but if he didn't Laufey would rage war and would attempt to kidnap him.

"That's what Laufey meant when he called you a thief, not just the casket…" Thor stared hard at his father. "All these years you've lied to Loki…to me…all the stories and you just…"

"I lied because I was trying to protect him."

"Why?" all eyes went to Loki. "Why…why take me when you killed so many Jotuns already?" he slowly stood up, removing Frigga's arms from him.

"You were innocent, I couldn't just leave you there." Loki's eyes went from sad to anger.

"No, no you took me for a reason what was it?" Thor and Frigga stared at Odin, but he remained quiet. "TELL ME!"

"I had hoped we could form an alliance between our kingdoms through you, to make the peace; but those plans no longer matter, you are still my son Loki." Loki stared at him with more anger, and he moved to touch the casket. Before their eyes his pale skin turned blue, and his eyes turned blood red like a Frost Giant's. Thor stepped back, looking between Loki and Odin, unable to comprehend what he was hearing and seeing all at once.

"You…I'm nothing more than another stolen relic to you now?" Loki was shaking with tears, Frigga tried to calm him but he yanked away. "I'm the monster that parents tell their children about at night…"

"No!" Frigga tried. "No Loki you're not a monster, you're our son and we love you."

"And you brother?" Loki turned to Thor. "Will you kill me now?" Thor stared at Loki like he'd been punched in the face. "I remember you once said…'when I'm king I'll hunt the monsters down and slay them all'…" Loki had more tears flowing. "Are you going to kill me now?"

"No…no Loki I wouldn't…" Thor tried to touch Loki but he pulled back and ran from the vault. Frigga went after him but Thor stayed and turned his glare on Odin. "Don't tell me you intend on giving him up?"

"I may not have a choice." Odin sighed. "If I don't Laufey will declare war and will take him regardless, but this might be what Loki needs."

"Needs? Father those creatures will kill him!"

"You heard what Laufey said, he left Loki in that temple to protect him. I assumed wrong and stole his child, he can declare war or demand wergild, and he won't take the casket." not yet at least, but he could later.

"Yet, but he may use Loki to get it! Would you dare sacrifice Loki?" Odin glared at his son.

"When you are king, you will understand that some sacrifices have to be made to keep a kingdom at peace." Thor's face was red with fury.

"You're talking about giving him to the monsters who slayed our soldiers!"

"ENOUGH!" Odin had enough of his son's yells, he had plans to make and soon enough this would reach the people. "When they come for Loki, I will reveal the truth to the people, and after that Loki will go to Jotunheim but if he ever chooses to return…he will be welcome."

"The people may not want him back! You've put him danger!"

"They will learn to adapt, I do love him as my son but I cannot risk war again. Leave now, and speak nothing of this to anyone, I forbid it."

"Father…"

"Now Thor!" Thor bit his lip and left the vault, leaving Odin alone to his own thoughts. He didn't want to give Loki up, but he had no choice. He would've made Loki stay behind in Jotunheim but he had to tell him the truth and in the next few days Loki would know he was still loved by him, Frigga, and Thor. Odin would welcome Loki back if he ever returned, but he knew once Laufey had him he might never let him go.

Loki's rooms:

Loki raced from the vault and straight to the castle, and he didn't' care that he knocked over some maids and guards until he reached his room. He started throwing his possessions everywhere, even his books he treasured greatly were flung onto the floor. When he stopped he collapsed on his bed and began to sob into his pillows.

His entire life was a lie, he wasn't Thor's brother, wasn't Frigga or Odin's son, not even a prince of Asgard but a prince of Jotunheim the frozen wasteland. He was Laufey's son, and Laufey claimed Odin had stolen him but Odin said he abandoned him?! How could he do this to him? He knew he had been different all his life but to find out he was adopted and a Jotun? The very monsters children were afraid of…and they say he isn't a monster?

Why didn't Odin tell him before? He claimed to be protecting him but then he says he wanted to use Loki as a tool of peace? Now the Jotuns want him back but they'll kill him!

'I don't know what to do.' Loki had no idea what would happen, but he prayed to the Norns that Odin wouldn't force him to leave. Oh who was he jesting? Of course he would to keep the war from starting again! He would be going either way and he had only two days to wait!

"Loki?" he heard Frigga's voice on the other side of his door.

"Go away." he growled but she could hear him. Frigga walked into the room and sat on the bed, but Loki wouldn't look at her.

"Sweetheart I know you're upset and confused right now, but you have to understand your father was only trying to protect you." that time he did look.

"He's not my father." his eyes were no doubt red and bleary, but he didn't care.

"And am I not your mother?" Loki couldn't answer that, Frigga had loved him and Thor equally but it was Odin who favored Thor along with the rest of Asgard. "Loki I wanted to tell you the truth when you were ready, and you were long ago but Odin wanted to keep the secret. He didn't want you to feel different, he loves you."

"Not feel different? I've always felt different and now it makes more sense! I can't lift a sword like Thor, I'm not strong like him and the Warriors Three, I have black hair and pale skin, and often times the people believe I'm more feminine than Sif!" he snarled and twisted his hands in his hair. "Why is it always me?!" he started sobbing again, he couldn't control himself right now.

"Loki calm down, just listen to me alright?" he looked away, but stopped yanking at his hair. His face was streaked with tears and his eyes were starting to hurt from the crying but he started unwillingly calming down when Frigga's hands stroked through his black locks. "You're not a monster, you are our son and we will do all we can to protect you."

"How? He's going to hand me over to them." he felt Frigga tense.

"I know, and I don't want it to happen but…we can't risk another war. I want you here with us, but Laufey will start war if we don't."

"I have no choice." he clutched at the blankets. "Why has it always been me as the weak one?"

"You're not weak; you're a powerful sorcerer and a silver tongue. Your words and magic will get you far, and you may not be Laufey's heir, but you are a prince no less."

"Laufeyson." he hissed the word. "Not Odinson." he just buried his face in his pillows. "Thor will hate me now."

"No he won't, it'll just take him time to get used to this."

"He said he would kill all the monsters, he'll kill me since I'm not his brother." Frigga pulled Loki into her arms. "I don't want to die."

"You won't die my child, you will live and you will be a great prince." he wished he could believe her, he really did.

Three days later:

The entire hall of the Asgard throne room was filled with its citizens. Royal, noble, and commons all around along with the army for protection just in case; the Jotuns were due to arrive any moment, and all of Asgard knew this was a likely peace arrangement after the whole scenario at Thor's coronation. Loki stood on one side of Odin's throne with Frigga beside him, and Thor stood on the other side with his friends at the ready.

Loki hadn't spoken or seen Thor since that day in the weapons' vault, and so he assumed Thor was too disgusted with him now. He wouldn't even look at Loki right now, but Frigga assured him he was still trying to register all that'd happened. He hadn't said word to his friends, which was good, but everyone would know today.

"They have arrived sire." Odin's general Tyr came and behind him was Laufey, along with his two eldest sons and some of their own warriors. They were twice the size of a normal Asgardian, maybe taller, but they wouldn't cause trouble in this matter.

"Laufey, King of Jotunheim I bid you welcome here to Asgard." Laufey didn't put away the straight look on his face, but he bowed slightly as did his people. "Citizens of Asgard, the Jotuns have come here to discuss a peace arrangement for the sake of our realms. Before I speak of the arrangement, I have a tale to share with you all."

'Here it comes.' Loki was prepared for the scorn and hatred that would come after. He'd been bullied all his life by the Asgardians even Thor, but at least Thor apologized if he went too far.

"You all know the tale of when we first fought against Jotunheim, and you know the tale of how we came to get the Casket of Ancient Winters. The truth of the matter is this, the casket wasn't the only thing I took that night." he paused. "In the aftermath of the battle I had gone into the temple, and I found a small baby. I had thought he was abandoned; there were no other giants around so I took him back with me here and I passed him off as my son." the people gasped. "I have learned recently that he wasn't abandoned, but he was placed in the temple to be kept safe from the war. He's the child of Laufey, and they have come to take him back."

'Just get on with it.' Loki wore his Asgardian prince attire, but he only had it as an illusion.

"Prince Loki, is that child." the hall erupted in roars and yells, either for or against Loki which shocked him but he could only hear the scorn. He looked over at Thor's friends, who were all shocked, but Sif was the one who seemed disgusted and Thor's face was blank.

"You have agreed to return him Allfather." Laufey stared at Loki. "We are grateful for this." Loki didn't dare look up.

"Loki will be returned as you requested, but there is the matter of him in our family. If it's at all possible, we would like to visit Loki on your realm in thirty days' time." that made Loki look to Odin.

"We will consider this, but we will not give an immediate answer."

"If you can let us know within fourteen days that would be acceptable, we can wait until then." Laufey nodded in agreement.

"Very well, now take the spell off him." Odin approached Loki, and Loki's Asgardian wear faded from his figure.

"Forgive me." Odin tapped Gugnir on the steps and Loki's pale skin began to turn blue. He felt all eyes on him, and while Laufey's look softened at him others stared at him with hatred. Loki saw Thor's eyes softened as well, but he couldn't read his expression.

"Remember Loki, you're still as much a son to us as Thor." Frigga went up and kissed his forehead. Odin nodded at him, and Thor approached him slowly.

"You're still my brother, I wish you the best." Loki accepted the pat on his shoulder, and when Laufey cleared his throat he looked up.

"Let us be off then, Loptr." Loki walked with the Jotuns down the path, hearing each and every whisper of his appearance as they passed.

"Jotun scum…"

"A Jotun among us, what was the Allfather thinking?"

"It's not his fault, he couldn't have known until now."

"He's a runt, no wonder they left him."

"Better off in their realm than here." and the words kept coming until they made it to the Bifrost. Heimdall waited for them, with his sword at the ready to transport the group back to Jotunheim.

"The passage is ready for you." he said. "Prince Loki." Loki turned to him. "Be safe."

"Thank you Heimdall." Laufey's large hand moved Loki towards the open portal, and they were all whisked away to the frozen realm. They ended up back at the palace, but Loki noticed it was different from the last time they came. He looked around and saw other Jotuns coming to greet them, and when they saw Loki they all knelt and bowed to him. He turned around and saw Laufey's men and sons doing the same, and when he looked at his 'father' Laufey's lips turned into a smile.

"Welcome home my son."

Well I hope this was a good start for you, and I have to say this was a fun one to write.

So Loki has gone to Jotunheim, and the other Jotuns seem to want him there. How's he going to blend in among the other Frost Giants, is there more to him than he knows? Laufey will teach him about his heritage, but is Loki going to comply or will he just resist? What's Thor going to do now that his brother is with the Jotuns now?

Next chapter some of these questions are answered, I'll try and have it up in a few days if I'm lucky.

R&R

Later!
