WTF MEM

HDU

This has just straight up turned me into a gibbering blob of emotions. I laughed and nnnghed and flailed around and then as I finished I blinked and I touched my eyes AND I REALIZED THAT THIS IS THE SECOND FUCKING TIME YOU'VE MADE ME CRY (!?!?!?/11) WITH YOUR SIF/LOKI

what the fuck is happening in my life

i don't even

Everything a game. Everything a battle. His heart was queerly heavy. If he were to say, I love you, would she laugh? Would she leave him?

d y i n g

LOKI TELL HER YOU LOVE HER. SIF TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM BACK. THEN HAVE MORE SEX.

So lol I was already dying of happiness in all the other sections because of the SNARKY FLIRTING AND WORLD BUILDING AND TEAM DYNAMICS AND IMPERIALIST ASGARD BUT THEN OMG THE LAST SECTION HAPPENED AND I DIED OF FEELINGS.

OMG MEM, Sif and Loki and ughhh both being unsure of the others love CAUSE LOKI LOVES TO PLAY GAMES AND UGHHH LOKI IS CONVINCED HE CAN NEVER BE LOVED.

"I want you to stop playing," she said. "For once, no games."

THIS IS WHEN I STARTED TO LOSE IT.

That was his greatest lie, the one he'd spun for himself: the lie that Sif loved Loki. Like all lies, it was delicate, dependent upon so many things, and he'd known as he reached to touch her elbow, to draw her eye, that it could not last if acknowledged. And why had she agreed to silence? Why, but for what he already knew?

THAT IS WHEN I STARTED CRYING.

She laughed breathlessly and her hands cradled his face; her fingers slid across his cheeks, tracing the ridge of bone beneath each eye. She kissed him deeply, roughly, sweetly, her tongue so hot and thick in his

His curls! Her killing that animal! And I like how you wove in the Asgard attitude toward other groups. No wonder people are pissed off...

But overall, this was such a steamy piece. Especially the ending. *fans self*

MEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Oh my God the thread of tension between Sif and Loki through the whole thing was so taut and incredibly, subtly handled, and then THE SEX when it finally happened was so cathartic and amazing and oh dear Lord HOT and can I just say even apart from that and all the wonderful characterisation and everything which was yes wonderful - I admire you so, so tremendously for the way you handle adventure narratives, the way you plot, it's all so original and marvelous and I love this to bits, have you figured that out yet, I don't know if you have.

This is fantastic!! I really liked trying to figure out where those two stood from beginning to end and it was fun seeing the world-building aspect that you write into your awesome sif/loki pieces. I feel like I should have something more articulate to say, but really, the whole fic made me flail my hands and sigh with bliss, from the moment I saw it pop up on my f-list to the end! Superb! I can't wait for more from you!!!
