Immortals are a bitch that way. I've had the "Okay so this is ten thousand years in the past so... not even butterscotch" moment WAY too many times.

Also, gods = yay. Shout outs to the whorish goddess someone had the genius idea to name me after = yay, and this being interesting enough to make me read more than 500 words in one sitting = YAY.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it (regardless of its length).

At least it helps that I know there is a very definite now-ness to the time where Generally, Canon Has This As Its Timeline; and this is obviously going to be way far before that. But yeah... Pete's a pretty old dude at this point.

(He says he gets another ten thousand years, and he's only three-thousand-something, so relatively speaking he's young! and I tell him that he's protesting too much.)

I didn't actually notice the length of this until I'd finished... haha, a bit too engrossed in it!

I particularly absolutely love the line - Jenny please! That thing's bigger than an elephant! The mental images are just awesome!

It's very clear in my mind that that line comes out more or less as a wail, too. :D

Thank you for reading! I'm going to take the comment about length as a compliment.

That's definitely how I heard it! Still makes me chuckle reading it again. :)

Yes, please do! I love things that engross me so much that I lose track of the time, especially when they're imaginative and make me grin like an idiot too. :)

oh my precious gods-really-being-mages idea has GROWN UP SO MUCH since I was in high school! And I haven't got a single icon to show for it yet. (Money. I need money.)

Jenny doesn't quite, you know. Get the whole "it is his son" thing. According to Jenny, it's ENTRAILS. and I didn't remember Sigyn being blind ...

Everything involving the eagle made me laugh. Poor Prometheus, but I suppose having a pal that's more magic than bird does have its uses. Also, the last line was an excellent reference. It's okay to take things one step at a time, and it sounds like getting free was a pretty big step for Loki and Sigyn, so they can deal with the outside of the cave later. :D

Okay, this made my inner mythology geek extremely happy. Especially the fact that you got the details right. <3 And I just love the way it's told! So brilliant. Lovely job.
