Thor was a Gryffindor to the core. He was as brave as stupid, disgustingly hospitable and sociable. His animagus form was a lion!
Loki hated everything about Griffindor…until he realized that lion fur can be very soft. And people avoid coming near him when there is such a big beast nearby. And they can understand each other without any words…in any form
Thanks for waiting!! Because I am contrary, I immediately wanted to go with Demon!Thor/Angel!Loki, but then decided that I’m even more contrary, and took the obvious route 😀
- Thor and Loki both began as seraphim, but somewhere along the line, Loki Fell, and Thor has been risking it himself for millennia since then. He’s lucky the big guy upstairs has a soft spot for him, honestly.
- Loki claims that Thor was to blame for his Fall, by the way, but if you ask either of them about that, you’ll get wildly different stories, neither of which are true. They forgot what actually happened by the Dark Ages anyway.
- They meet every half-century or so, whenever they can both swing a field assignment on Earth at the same time. Sometimes they only have a night, but every now and then, they’ll get months together, hiding out somewhere quiet and secluded, where they can’t traumatize anybody in a two-mile radius.
- They learned their lesson about that in Rome in 1602, when they managed to turn a bishop atheist at Santa Maria del Popolo. Nothing was said about what had caused the conversion, but Thor got in so much trouble that he was kept on prayer-dictation duty in the Heavens until the 19th century.
- (Loki maintains that it was his fault then too–they’d been arguing over who would go further, Caravaggio or Carricci, while studying their work side by side in the chapel, and when Loki had insinuated that Caravaggio had benefitted from a little personal, Infernal Inspiration that gave his paintings the edge, Thor had given in to a less than Holy jealousy and felt the need to remind him then and there who he belonged to.)
- Thor has tried to call it off more than once over the centuries, but it never lasts long. He knows he should be better, but he always finds a way to rationalize his weakness. For example, if he stays away long enough, Loki always seems to find a tall, blond, muscular mortal to lead down the path of wickedness, and then Thor has to stop him, after all. And he’s an angel. He can handle the demonic influence much better. He’s only protecting them, see?
- There are betting pools Above and Below, and both are giving good odds that Thor will Fall by the 2100s. Thor doesn’t know about either. Loki’s money is on Thor outlasting them all. He’s made it this long already, he says, shrugging.

I feel All Kinds of Ways about this.
- Loki and Thor are raised together, brought up being told that they were both born to be kings and taught to rule. When he was small, Loki questioned why he received far more instruction about Jotunheim than Thor did, but Father had said that it was best for them to learn different things, so that their combined knowledge would serve them as they worked together in the future.
- When Odin calls them to his audience chamber to announce which one of them will be taking the throne, they’re both stunned when their father says that they both will be. Thor is to rule Asgard, and Loki is to rule Jotunheim. After all the courtiers take their leave, and they’re left alone with Odin, Loki and Thor both start talking at once, desperate for answers, but the question that Odin seizes upon is Loki’s: Why in the Nine would Jotunheim obey me? And so Loki finds out what he is, and who his real father is only weeks before his scheduled coronation.
- Thor shuts himself in his rooms and refuses to speak to anyone for a few days after the revelation, and Loki hates him for it on some level, but he’s also terrified to see how Thor will look at him differently now, knowing what he is, so he leaves him be. But the silent treatment ends when Thor sneaks into Loki’s bedroom one night, like Loki used to do to Thor himself when they were children, and they huddle up under the blankets and don’t say anything for a while… until Thor speaks up and tells Loki how he’s loved Loki for centuries and hated himself for it, and even though it’s come out that they’re not really brothers, Thor still knows in his heart that they are, and he feels even more wretched. Loki doesn’t know what to say to this and can’t wrap his head around it, and he winds up lying awake all night, conflicted and miserable, while Thor drops off with his head on Loki’s shoulder.
- In the morning, Loki goes to Odin and demands to know how he meant to unite the two realms and bring about peace, and when his–when the Allfather has no immediate answer for him, he suggests his own. The look on Odin’s face is worth the sleepless night, and when he argues, Loki just says, “Ask Thor, then, if you like,” and Odin dismisses him.
- Loki’s coronation is well-attended, due less to the admiration of his people and more their curiosity. Why would Laufey step down and let the Aesir take over? they all wonder, but then they see their new king, and though he’s small and dressed like an Asgardian, his clan lines tell them all they need to know. They’re aware that Laufey’s abdication was not entirely his decision, but they can’t argue with the choice of successor.
- Some years later, when Loki has accepted the sight of his blue skin and red eyes in the mirror, he allows Thor to see him as he is on a diplomatic visit, and it goes better than expected. (He hadn’t anticipated being swept off his feet and carried to his bedchamber the instant they were alone, but he has no complaints, and he could certainly learn to get used to it.)
- Neither of them have really gone against Odin’s wishes all throughout their separate rules, and once he’s grown comfortable in his retirement and old age, they make a joint announcement of their intent to wed, and by then it’s far too late for him to say anything against it.
Now somebody write this.

Ohmygod I’m dying
Ok here’s the thing. I love this and would read the almighty heck out of it, but I def don’t know enough about the music/the period/the composers to really do this justice and not butcher it. I mean, I have some of Mozart’s piano concertos on my classical playlist, but that’s about the extent of it. So I’m going to beg your indulgence and give you some very brief, vague headcanons instead of the half-fic nonsense I’ve been coming up with for these so far.
- Thor is better. Loki knows it, but won’t admit it to himself, and every time Thor presents a new concerto, Loki is guaranteed to be lurking in the back of theatre, grinding his teeth and picking at his cuffs in jealous frustration, and reluctant appreciation.
- Despite being the better composer, Thor is constantly awed by the pieces that Loki comes up with, his bold and surprising takes, and he never misses one of Loki’s concerts… though he also tends to lurk in the back, where no one can see the delight on his face.
- They finally get together thanks to a gala thrown by a mutual patron, who insists that they both attend and then seats them together at dinner. The tension hits a crescendo (pun intended) during the dessert course, when Loki “accidentally” elbows Thor in the ribs, and then Thor “accidentally” tips his glass into Loki’s lap. He gets a bit handsy with the napkin under the table helping him clean up the mess, while Loki flushes bright red and only just manages not to stab him with a fork.
- The resolution comes after dinner, when Loki tugs Thor into an empty parlor and demands an explanation, but then the conversation is forgotten in favor of angry making out.
- They never really stop competing with each other, even after they’ve fallen in love. Loki will debut something new and exciting, and Thor will follow it with something better not a month later, and then Loki will ravish him backstage, berating him for his nerve the whole time.

after that first day at school they always were together – side-by-side. and Thor thought it’ll be forever..until he notice that something’s come between them.
continuation of that school au post
- I’ve never seen anything like the way you handled that. I’m just so moved.
It’s not the first time some assholes have hassled him after the show. There are always guys who don’t get it, who are frightened by Loki and everything he is. They always wait for him to be alone.
Loki can roll with the punches and he gives as good as he gets. He learned to fight from his mother and sister and he fights to draw blood – nails scratching, pulling hair, kicking the legs out from under the bastards who only think with their fists. Loki fights fast and he fights dirty because he knows he’s cornered.
One of them grabs hold of his arms, pinning them to his sides and another strikes him across the jaw. Loki knows it’s going to bruise, but he licks the blood on his now split-lip and smiles.
“That all you got?” he asks.
His mother could never teach him when to back down.
The guy draws his fist back, readying himself for another punch and Loki hopes the guy will be happy with just breaking his nose or giving him a black eye.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
The voice that interrupts them is like thunder. It is awe-inspiring and complete silence follows it.
Loki turns his head, just to catch sight of the guy.
He’s thick, built, with long blonde hair and miles and miles of tanned skin. He should be in a gym, or on the cover of a fitness magazine, not standing under a streetlight watching two guys fuck up Loki’s make-up and his face.
Loki feels dread build in his stomach.
This guy isn’t going to stop what’s happening. He might even join in.
“I said, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” the man repeats, his words coming out a growl.
He moves fast.
Loki hears a snap – bones breaking – and then the man who punched him his howling in pain. His friend lets go of Loki and Loki ducks away from trouble, just far enough to watch his blonde hero headbutt the guy in the face and knock him out cold.
“We need to get out of here,” he says, tugging at his hero’s arm. “That was the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen, but we need to get out of here.”
The guy nods. He looks dazed. Loki isn’t sure if it’s from the headbutt or if he’s just realized he fought two men – committed assault – to protect a complete stranger.
Loki hates himself for wearing boots that have such a spiked heel. It makes running so much harder.
“I’m Thor,” his hero says, jogging beside Loki as if this is simply leisurely for him.
“Loki,” says Loki. He’s feels breathless.
“Oh, I know,” Thor says. “I really like your band.”
Loki glances at him, a smile stretching his sore mouth.
“You like Glam Rock?”
“Well, I like you,” Thor says. “Hey, where are we going?”
“Back to mine,” Loki says, grabbing hold of Thor’s hand so he can hold it while they run.
It wasn’t intended but he really does look like Howl
You certainly may! <33
Prompt: Wait, my hero’s secret identity is… you? To be honest, I’d always kind of hoped…
Fantasy AU, sfw, and long enough for a cut!
As far as this situation is concerned, Loki knows three things with certainty.
One: his new and already favored blacksmith has been flirting with him. It’s subtle, but quite clear. And though Loki has been spending far too much gold on custom daggers and mail and bits of armor that he’s never bothered with before (as though any self-respecting sorcerer would wear it), Thor hasn’t even offered him dinner and drinks, much less his bed. Not after dozens of compliments, not after he’d had started wearing his breeches tight enough to be uncomfortable, and not even after Loki had enchanted his forge to maintain its own temperature totally free of charge.
But the interest is there. He’s sure of it. It’s just a matter of finding out what’s holding the man back.
Two: this Mystery Knight everyone’s aflutter over is tall, broad, and wears some of the most beautifully crafted armor Loki has ever seen. He’s only had the one glimpse, but it was quite telling, the fine details of his plate and winged helmet standing out like a beacon, and the fact that the knight wields a hammer is just too much for coincidence.
(Also, and most intriguing of all, Loki’s heard from three different young ladies that had had the good fortune to be rescued by him that all attempts to thank him with affection and special favors had been politely but firmly rejected. “He told me that my beauty was prodigious,” one had told Loki, still heartbroken, “but he could never love a maiden in such a way.”)
And three: provoking a dragon in order to be saved by a masked hero who’s secretly the new blacksmith in town in order to bed the new blacksmith in town was a terrible idea.
