"Thy love is a dagger? Why then, my love be its sheath."

After the Battle of New York, the Avengers need a few days to build a transport device for the Tesseract. With the Helicarrier damaged and surveillance offline, SHIELD sends a valuable "asset" to guard Loki in the interim: a young woman who sees the truth in all things, and cannot lie.

Even long presumed dead, her memories lost to her, Loki would know her anywhere.

And this changes things.

Three years after the Incident, Loki reappears on Earth to fulfil a promise. The Avengers prepare for another war, but some of them begin to realise that Loki's plans are not what they assumed- and there are far worse things waiting beyond the stars.

Meanwhile, the Ancient One has made a dangerous gamble, and Stephen is starting to see the stakes unfold. The fate of the universe hangs in the balance, on the fulcrum of a handful of choices and a love that has outlasted infinity.

(Loki was never looking for redemption. It came as an unexpected side-effect.)

Loki comes to earth seeking redemption by himself. Of his own free will. But what happens when the Avengers find him helping old people across the busy streets of New york. Everyone on the street runs in fear. The old lady he was helping pats him on the arm and thanks him. Much to the Avengers surprise. Now there's this huge fight going on. Civilians are running in every direction trying to get away from the fight. Some are getting caught in the middle so Loki tries his best to get them away. But the Avengers thinking he's trying to hold a hostage makes the situation even worse. Now Loki needs to get the civilian out of the way and defend himself. He cast a shield around himself and the people. Teleporting the people away he drops the shield . "Listen to me!" Loki groaned as the Avengers ignored his pleas. "What did you do?!" There was so much going on he didn't even see who asked the question. He just answered without thinking."Nothing! You people are the ones that attacked first. As I was helping someone! What if they had gotten hurt?!" The Avengers faltered for just a second before straightening their resolve. As the fight went on Loki was getting tired of their incompetence. "Stop!" Loki yelled heavily out of breath. All the Avengers were frozen by Loki's magic. Even the almighty Thor. "You so-called avengers just attacked me unprovoked, risked multiple lives, and won't even listen to what I have to say." He turned to Thor. "But this must seem normal to you my "dear brother" seeing how this is just like the old days." There was a few minutes of silence before anything happened. People started to flood the streets again. Trying to get a glimpse at the action. "Now since I don't want any trouble, I'll come with you without a fight. Like I would have done before had you not shot at my ass! Now I'm going to drop the spell. But don't you dare fire at me!"

Loki is sentenced to either be executed or stay on earth without his magic until he has a change of heart. Y/n a 16 year old orphan, telepathic, and telekinetic teenager saved Natasha's life on a mission, Nat thinks maybe she can save Loki, too. Thor wants to keep his brother alive. Avengers are trying to help Thor in any way they can. Loki would rather die than be defenceless in front of the mad titan. Again. Can he defeat the Mad titan? School, tests, and trying to keep a villain from killing everybody and himself, *sighs*. How hard can it be, really? What does the trickster do when he realises he is in love? How far is she willing to go to save his life? DUAL POV *LOKI* AND *Y/N* In this fic, Loki is 897 years old, which is like 17 in human terms, assuming they live 5000 years. Slow burn compared to what I have usually read in these types of fics. Loki x reader. HAPPY ENDING (at the end of the trilogy). He deserves it. I'll try my best to deliver on my word, but no promises. Updates every fortnight. Or every week. I have school to deal with, so please be a bit patient. Disclaimer- I do not own the Avengers or Loki, sadly. And you own yourself.
