It’s dark, and Loki prefers it that way. He doesn’t want to look at the room. Doesn’t want to look at himself. But Thor is in the room too, and he can’t be ignored, his golden hair reflect the moonlight like a halo. Beautiful, everyone would say. Loki is lucky to be his consort.
To keep the peace, Thor, prince of Asgard, and Loki, prince of Jotunheim, are to be wed. While originally hesitant, Thor quickly becomes pleased with this arrangement when he gets to know his betrothed. Loki, however, has other ideas.
Since the day he was born, Loki had been promised in marriage to the heir of Asgard.Since the day of bethrothal, he had been prepared and trained for his great purpose.The murder of Thor Odinson.No matter how nice and handsome and kindly and charming and thoughtful and arousing and…Oops…
When Thor went storming into Jotunheim he was looking to start a fight, but accidently winds up a pawn in Odin and Laufey’s plans for a permanent peace between the realms; namely, in exchange for the return of the Casket of Ancient Winters, Laufey is offering his firstborn child Loki, the Aesir-sized sorcerer, in marriage to Thor. Such a momentous decision is not to be taken lightly, so Odin sends Thor to live on Jotunheim – without Mjolnir – for a season with Loki, to get to know his prospective consort and to teach the wilful prince some diplomatic sense. Thor is horrified, his parents are insistent and no-one really knows what Loki is thinking, but he hasn’t stopped smiling…
The first thing Loki notices about Thor is that he seems to never look down at his food or drink, apparently trusting the servants entirely to make sure his cup and plate are never empty for long. It would be almost too easy to poison him.Okay, so it wasn’t actually the first thing Loki noticed about his new husband, but it’s the first thing that’s useful to him.The real first thing was his eyes.
Thor has known of it since he was a boy. He is promised to the third son of Laufey. When he’s small he thinks nothing of it. The words have no weight to him yet.
Odin does not steal Loki; the Jotun prince is instead raised to adulthood in Jotunheim. When Thor leads his friends to attack Jotunheim, unanticipated consequences ensue.
„So tell me, husband mine,“ Loki murmurs after they part for air, taking one of Thor’s hands and guiding it down between his legs. „Do you fuck as gloriously as you fight? Because there also is the matter of an heir and as it seems, my time of heat has come early.“
Since being wed to Thor a few moons ago, he had been regularly amazed that the Æsir were not the brutes his people had made them out to be. Loki was in for another surprise.
