Thor- Headless Love AngelFive times Jane Foster fell in love that failed spectacularly, and one that (just barely) worked out.Jane Foster is five years old and in kindergarten. Boys are yucky and gross and dumb, but she hasn't gotten the memo. His name is Billy Farrell. He has blond hair and blue eyes and he always wears a red baseball cap because his Daddy's favorite team is the Red Sox. Jane doesn't know anything about baseball, except that it makes her Daddy says words she is never ever supposed to say. That's what Mommy always tells her.Jane really wants Billy to like her, but she isn't sure how to talk to him. Her dream is for them to get married and s
Sweet ReliefSweet ReliefLoki didn't question it when the venomous saliva of the serpent stopped assaulting his head. In fact, for a split second, he hoped the serpent had left his presence entirely, but Loki knew better than to let that hope get out of control. His hope was crushed a moment later when he felt the serpent intertwining around his left leg. He opened his eyes and forced his vision to focus. As soon as he could properly see the creature, it hissed, "Was it worth it?" Its mouth didn't open and close with each syllable as an Aesir's mouth did, but its hissing voice could be heard just as clearly. When Loki had first seen this, he'd thought h
To Know You're Alive: Chapter 9 Sif looked up at him teary eyes. She opened her mouth but nothing escaped from it. After a minute she stepped away, keeping her gaze on him. She looked for words but nothing came so she turned and ran down the hall. Loki watched her disappear then turned and slammed his fist into the wall. He jumped slightly when he heard the medic call for him. Loki sighed and straightened himself then walked into the room. The medic told him that she would be fine and be awake within a few hours. Loki nodded then looked over at Astrild. She lay on the bed, fast asleep, and slightly pale. Otherwise, she looked stunning. Her long, dark, brown hair lay
Frigga's Major HeadacheChapter 2 "You were scared like a little baby!" Thor exclaimed, fingers curled around a fat sausage snatched up from the plate in front of Loki, who was currently paying more attention to the manuscript in front of him than the food on his plate. "He is a baby," Loki pointed out in a mild tone. His elder brother may have believed he simply hadn't noticed the theft of his sausage, but Loki simply didn't care about said sausage enough to prevent its not-so-subtle theft. "Shut up," Balder said in a sullen tone, his face freshly-washed. "Balder the baby," continued Thor, his manners not as refined as his middle sibling judging by the way
The One Chosen To Learn - Part 14“Hi!”“Hello, my dear.”Manadis ran up to Eskel and hugged him. Eskel returned the hug, and also kissed Manadis on her head. It was another one of their tutoring classes. “How are you?” Eskel asked his girlfriend.“I’m fine. And you?”“I’m doing well.”“Good,” Manadis smiled at him. She had changed into clean clothes after her training sessions with Thor. But she still had the cloth from her old outfit wrapped around her hand because she couldn’t wrap a bandage around it with only one hand.“Let’s get started,” Eskel said. He plopped his books down on the table and looked for today’s lesson. Manadis sat with him.“Why don’t you tell me about your training session while I get everything set up?”“Okay... Well, I kind of taught myself how to throw my sais last night. And Thor showed me how to make them come back to me once
Lost in the DarkAt first glance, it looked like just another piece of drifting debris, nothing out of the ordinary. But when one looked closer, it was clear that it was different from the other pieces of broken bridge floating through the cosmos. Most of the pieces were huge, sharp-edged and reflected the light of the stars around them, like the pieces of a shattered mirror; but this piece in particular was tiny in comparison, dark in color (with the occasional glimpse of green or reflective gold) and it resembled more of a torn scarf adrift in a vast sea.If one squinted hard enough, they'd be able to see that the figure was humanoid, but this 'thing' wasn
A Small Seed of HopeThe plaza was more crowded than normal. Merchants eagerly showed off their wares to the potential customers, and those who had already purchased moved on to the next stall or shop, their arms laden with their treasures. It was this bustle that Eostre found herself in. Weaving through the people, the goddess slowly but surely made her way towards her destination, a white hare pressed protectively to her chest. A group of young Aesir ran by, chasing and laughing with their wolfhound. That noticeably startled the hare, who looked up pleadingly at Eostre and whined."Be still, Lund," She assured, smiling, "He has no interest in you."The hare w
