Somewhere on the Statesman in the land of Infinity War was a Fever Dream…
It had been the seventh time that evening.
Seven times now where Thor heard screaming from next door, seven times now where had Thor shaken his brother, a sweating, shaking mess awake.
After realizing each time he wasn’t being subjected to whatever horrors his dreams held, Loki always did his best to attempt to string together a composure.
“I’m fine.”
“I thought you were good at lying, brother,” Thor replied as he sat down on his bed next to his very annoyed looking adopted sibling, “Unfortunately, your dreams are betraying you. Loudly.”
Thor remembers this. His actions are the same now, storming forward to grab hold of Loki, cupping the back of his neck and stopping his brother from struggling free from his grip. Loki goes pliant under his hold.
This time Thor’s intentions are different. He hasn’t traveled through time to repeat his previous mistakes. He isn’t about to plead with Loki to come back to Asgard, isn’t about to risk losing him again.
He isn’t going to let Thanos kill his brother again.
They land on the mountain top and Thor doesn’t argue with Loki this time. He crowds into his space, looming over him and forcing Loki back against the rocks.
“I know,” he says. “I know who sent you here. I know what he plans.”
Loki says nothing. His mouth opens and he stares at Thor, but he doesn’t speak, rendered mute by his fear.
“Yo,” Stark calls, landing behind them and Thor doesn’t bother looking at him. “Look, I’m sure you’re thrilled to see your boyfriend here, but he kind of killed some people so we gotta take him in.”
“This is my brother,” Thor snarls, finally sparing Stark a glance.
Loki disappears for quite a while after “we have a hulk.” And we know his illusions have grown more and more advanced since the first movie – and he’s had the Tesseract, which radiates power, all this time… Fix-it where his last ditch effort is less of a suicide charge, and more part of an elaborate scheme?

SPOILERS FOR INFINITY WAR!
There is only one way to reverse the devastation Thanos wrought: the Avengers must return to the aftermath of the Battle of New York when they had two Infinity Stones in their possession, and with the knowledge of the whereabouts of others. Thor cannot help but focus on what he will regain.
@tegary, this one’s for you. You said something yesterday that inspired this short, self-indulgent fic. I hope knowing all the spoilers made watching the movie easier for you, my dear, but if not, have a bite-sized fix-it.
