It's been a year since the universe turned upside down for her. Since she lost him. Since everything went sideways. Avianne has learned how to stand alone. How to lead through silence, through pain, through the ghosts of what was. But shadows don't stay buried... and neither does he. When Loki returns, nothing is simple. Not forgiveness. Not loyalty. And certainly not love. Because some connections are stronger than reason. And some hearts were never meant to heal. ~~~ • This fic is a fully standalone sequel. Still, I'd recommend starting with "Avianne (Loki x OC)" - see my profile • The plot follows movies The Avengers and Thor: The Dark World, but mainly my own lore and worldbuilding.

The war between Asgard and Alfheim seemed to never end. That was until king Quarrel came up with a solution. Centuries later, his only daughter is to marry into Odin's family. At first, everything's perfect and runs by the rules. But once the God of lies gets involved, all their plans are destined to be mischeviously ruined. So now, the young princess has to choose between her set up life as the queen of a foreign realm and true happiness living in a secret scandal with someone else. ~~~ Word count is app. 68.500 The story happens before the first Thor movie and then follows its plot. I don't own any Marvel characters.
