Loved meeting another member of the family. And such a little horny showoff too although calling Harry "baby" was sweet and funny.

Glad you liked it. =)

That was incredibly sweet.

For a moment I thought Harry was going to be introduced to Gabriel's other fledglings and I was wondering how you'd pull that off. This makes far more sense.

I love how Loki is "Mama", not "Papa".

[sa_kun]

Well, the other fledglings aren't technically his kids, are they? If that were the case, then Harry would be too. Well, more than he is now, anyway.

Well, Loki did turn himself into a mare, flirted with a stallion and Slepnir ended up as the result of that little meeting. So, you know. 'Mama' is more appropriate, in this sense.

I thought you'd go for Hel or Fenrir or even Jörmungandr but yeah, 'Slippy' makes much more sense. :p

I realy liked the decription in this segment, you made Sleipnir almost human in his reactions but with a childlike quality mixed in with the godliness.

Question: do Gabriel's kids know that he's not really Loki?

And the 'Mama' thing is freaking adoarable (makes sense given the mythology) and I can't get over how well you mesh Harry's original personality with this sense of 'newborn god'. (omfg, 'Baby'- so cuuute~)

I wanted to use one of them, but the only one that I had any inspiration for writing was Sleipnir. Who knows, maybe in the future I'll include one of them. ;) I already have plans for the trolls Loki also gave birth to.

Answer: To them, he is Loki. I'm not sure how it all played out in Supernatural, but in my mind Gabriel re-created himself as Loki -- along with everything that means. In this case, it means that the kids really are his.

I'm really glad you think I've done a good job meshing Harry's two sides. The more you write, the harder it is to see if you've started crossing the wrong lines. So, yeah, definitely glad that it still makes sense. Somewhat.

Thanks!
