Characters/Pairings: Loki/Sif, Thor, Frigga
Length: 14,438 words
Warnings: None
Spoilers: None
Why this must be read/seen: A delightful portrayal of Sif as a young girl growing up in Asgard and how she relates to both Thor and Loki. It is very charming and lovely.
The king's sons were both short, though Loki, thinnest, nearly reached Sif's nose. She'd thought they would be taller. Standing to either side of the queen, they looked down at her from the steps. Thor, the bright one, smiled. The other pursed his lips and said, "Are we supposed to play with her?"
"Who wants to play with you?" Sif snapped.
Her father laughed and drew her back. He bent to her, his hair brushed her brow, and he whispered, "Behave yourself." His fingers bit into her arm. Through the dark curtain of her father's hair, she saw Loki smile at her.
Her father shook her. "Do you hear me?"
"All right!" She scowled and looked away. "Fine."
What the queen thought of Lieff Hoffson and his graceless, skinny daughter, she did not show. Sif's father turned to her and the queen smiled graciously at them both, as if Sif had not insulted the second prince. Far from insulted, Loki looked amused.
