Thorki Modern AU: Soldier!Thor and Arms Dealer!Loki
@brotherplease is the first to respond to my request for collaboration on Thorki AU gif sets here. It is my greatest honour to work with her. She basically formulates most of our narrative and finds many beautiful gifs to back it up.
Soldier!Thor is tasked to bring Arms Dealer!Loki to from site to another for trading. Thor and Loki are on opposing sides. While Thor is risking his neck out in a complete war zone to find some peace Loki is making profit on selling fire arms for said war.
During the first few weeks, Loki looks down on Thor’s job and finds the army’s disciplined lifestyle intolerable.
What Loki does not know is that the illegal arms deal has fallen through and his superior decides to get rid of him to avoid leaks. When he is attacked at the meeting spot, Thor stays behind and rescues him regardless of their mutual dislike. The turn of events disorients Loki’s perception of himself and his surrounding. To survive, he tasks Thor into returning him safely back towards a base far off, passing right through the heated war zone.
After seeing the horrors of war first hand, Loki and Thor make pact to cooperate with each to ensure his safe escape.
Deep inside, Loki finds himself vulnerable, stunned and overall afraid.
Thor comes to dislike Loki less and less with their time together. Genuinely concerning himself over his well being and safety as he drives Loki to finding hope and depending on Thor for strength and guidance.
The long term partnership turns into something more one night, when a seduction attempt brings the new found friendship to another level. Mutual respect soon converts to unambiguous sentiments of passion, tenderness, lust and perhaps something more. Thor finds warmth in Loki and Loki in turn finds protection in Thor.
When Thor delivers Loki to their agreed destination one early morning, he has expected the end of everything, the love, the hate, the passion, the differences and mostly importantly, the companionship.Thor can hardly contain his surprise and joy, when he sees Loki join his army three months later as the consultant. A wide grin spreads across Thor’s features only to be met with a responsive smirk from Loki.
Together, Loki and Thor pull themselves through the war in hopes of finding peace. While their days are filled with violence and terror their nights are filled with desire and fulfillment.
