“It’s not the words ‘I’m here’ that tell him; those are late to the party. It’s the faint clap of the bottle stopper hitting the palm of Loki’s hand, then the softer echo of his fingers closing around it.
“Thor doesn’t even know whether he’s surprised or not; he can hardly tell what he feels. But he is a god and a king and a man of his word, so he opens his arms.”
Jumping on the post-Ragnarok hug fic bandwagon with you, @incredifishface and @raven-brings-light… and I’ve kept it gen for now, too. Gotta get the feelings out of my system first.
How did the philosophy reference get in there, you may ask? I dunno, man. These things just happen.
for a moment I was really afraid about that Zeno’s paradox, because I happened to remember this one, and i thought OH NAY YOU DOTH NOT!
i need you to make them sit down and talk for hours about their Odin and Hela feels and thoughts for 40k words YOU HEAR?!? GET TO IT!!
(sorry was that too bossy. I just get excited you see)
Well, I did actually have them talk about their Odin feels quite extensively in a fic that’s no longer canon-compliant… I guess I just can’t resist the hugging and crying. (And a lot of what they say is still current, except for my clearly incorrect Hela-related speculation about how Loki got off Svartalfheim alive.)
