LOOK WHOSE BACK YALL!!! IM NOT DEAD!

In all seriousness, I am so happy to be writing this again! For any of you that looked at my board, you will have seen that Bittersweet went on hold because I was extremely busy, and I had a bunch going on. But now I think I'll be able to start writing more often because I'm not a busy, and I have more free time.
Thank you for being so patient with me!
Also, for those of you who read my Avengers One Shots book: I have a couple imagines in the works as of now, and they should be up relatively soon!
All the loves to ya!

Asgard. There wasn't another name so perfectly suited for such a place.

From the first second you, Loki and Thor landed in the Bifrost, you were mesmerized. The intricate, golden dome above you was like something out of a fantasy, and the floors were like mirrors of gentle, yet complex patterns.

"Hello prince Thor. Loki." A dark skinned man, with a helmet which reminded you of bulls' horns greeted the two princes with his baritone voice.

"Hello Heimdall." Thor greeted back.

"Hello." Loki greeted as well, before turning his gaze upon you. A fond, and proud smile grew on his face as he watched you fawn over the architecture.

"Loki! This is amazing! How long did it take to build this? I've never seen anything like it! Even the floor is mesmerizing!" You rambled on, taking in every detail that you could. Your wings perked up at the finding of every new detail, and fluttered a little in pure amazement.

Loki laughed at your amusement, before stealing your attention.

"(Y/N), this is Heimdall. He is the guardian of the Bifrost. He can see every living thing, and his sword has a power to send you to any realm you would desire." Loki's explanation made Heimdall smile.

"Hello (Y/N). Welcome to Asgard." Heimdall welcomed you warmly as he nodded to you."

"Hello Heimdall! Thank you!" You answered before the brothers headed for the exit you had yet to notice.

"(Y/N). Come look at this!" Thor eagerly called out for you to come to his side.

Finally looking away from the ceiling, or the floor, or space outside, you were almost blinded by sunlight that shined through the exit.

That wasn't what caught your attention though.

In front of you, as you stood between the brothers, was a bridge, whose seemingly glass surface had currents and dashes of every color in the rainbow flowing through it.

You were in complete awe as you carefully stepped into the bridge.

"This-this is... amazing! How-how does any of this work?" You question, as more questions fly though your head at the speed of light.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not quite sure. That's a question for father." Loki looked almost as curious and stumped as you did.

"Speaking of which. Don't you think (Y/N) would like to see the palace?"

When the word palace was heard from Thor, you instantly perked up.

"I believe she would brother. How about it (Y/N)? Do you want to see the palace? The place Thor and I grew up?"

Loki's question about had you bouncing up and down. You would have if it weren't for the bandages that were still on your arms, reminding you of  you injuries, and subsequently, your clipped wings.

You pushed the thoughts aside before looking to Loki with one of the biggest smiles you've ever smiled.

"Yes! Yes yes yes! I'd love that!" You were ecstatic as Loki took your hand in his, kissed your forehead, and started running with you and Thor to the palace gates.

-

As soon as you reached the golden gates of Asgard's palace, you stopped and stared at it's intricacies. Loki had kept moving and only stopped when your hands, still interlocked, had pulled him back. He hadn't realized that you had stopped.

"What do you think?" Loki's whisper in your ear sent chills through your spine.

"I love it." Was a simple, quiet, barely-there answer that you gave to convey so much wonder and awe. 

"You'll love it even more inside." Loki said with confidence as he took the hand that was still in his, and pulled it a little.

You walked inside with him, and your mouth fell agape as you took in the high ceilings that were painted to tell stories, and the gold and stone columns that rose up to meet those ceilings in the heavens.

"Ah, Loki, (Y/N). There you are." Thor stated as he waited for you to get to the front of the room.

Once there, you saw an enormous throne made of glorious, proud, gold. The size of it was intimidating, but fascinating. Small details were carved into every part of the throne. So many so, that you could spend hours staring at it; studying it; and you'd never come close to seeing it all. The seat gleamed under the light which came from behind, making the throne  shimmer like a lake under the midday sun.

"Where is father?" Loki queried, bringing you from your thoughts and transfixtion towards the throne.

"He's currently in Alfheim. There was a bit of business that needed taken care of. He should be back tomorrow. Mother is having servants prepare our rooms, and a room for (Y/N)." The thunderer explained.

Right then a woman, clad in a gorgeous, yet simple baby blue dress entered the room.

"Mother!" Loki happily greeted the blonde woman, whose hair was in a complex, but beautiful updo.

"Hello Loki. Hello Thor." The woman greeted with a warm, motherly look towards the two princes. "My sons. Back from Midgard."

Loki and Thor's mother hugged them each in turn. Loki's seemingly lasting a little longer.

Once they pulled away, Loki went back to your side, and held your hand as a reassurance.

Nervousness coursed through you as you realized who this was. Not only was it Loki and Thor's Mother, but this woman was also queen of all Asgard. And that scared you a bit.

"Mother. I have brought someone very important to Asgard for you, and eventually father, to meet." Loki looked to you warmly, as a reassurance, before bringing you closer to his mother. "This is (Y/N). My beloved."
