“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.
Jesus Christ, this is my first fic to break 150 kudos and I posted it less than a day ago. This is what happens when you post something immediately relevant to a movie right after it comes out instead of jumping on a slow-moving fandom train halfway through the 4-year lull between movies…
OK, it is now my first fic to crack *200* kudos, and it’s still been less than 24 hours since I posted it. Of course I’m thrilled and flattered, but I’m also feeling a little sad on behalf of my other fics that have been up for a while, most of which are longer and involved more time and effort. So if you like this one, please consider checking out my other fics (Thor/Loki or gen, as you prefer). I’ve already been seeing some new readers doing that, which I greatly appreciate.
