As Ptolemy thought, we are all closer to Hell than we are to Heaven. If you push any man hard enough they can fall right back into the abyss from which they came.
 ~ Loki, The God of Mischief in The Art of Manipulation

They were perfect for each other. She was light, he was darkness. She was pure, he was plagued. He was a ghost, and she was an angel. They had balanced each other like no other couple could. They calmed each other, soothed each other. They came together like Heaven and Hell, joined at the horizon by their love for music. He gave her his music and she gave him her voice. Their love was perfection in every sense of the word.

They were also ignorant. Or at least...he...was ignorant. Ignorant to the fact that there was another being who loved him, too.

I had loved him, that masked man. I had known him when all he was was a voice to her, her angel of music. I was his companion and he was my dream. A dream that would never be mine. A dream that I would long for for centuries.

And now that I had a second chance, a second chance at the love I most desperately desired, I had to make a choice. 

Do I let things be, allow the Phantom's story to unravel the way it had the first time? Do I endure watching the man I love marry the woman who was so perfect for him again? That woman who was the dazzling soprano Christine Daaé? 

Or do I take him as my own?

"I have realized... it is better to be alone, Meg. The people I love won't get hurt." He whispered to me and then I saw him. The man I know and love; the man torn between wanting to love and scared of it; the man wanting to feel but runs away from everything that makes him feel because he is afraid of losing it. "I learned with Christine that I cannot love, Meg. I cannot love anyone...I only hurt them. And no one can love me. Who could?" "I could." I couldn't believe I just said it. He froze and I just kept talking, afraid the words would stop coming out of my mouth. "That's where you're wrong, Erik. You've always believed that no one could ever love you, all of you, even with your deformity. And yet, I have loved you since I was seventeen years old. You hid yourself behind the "Phantom of the Opera" but I never saw a Phantom. I saw a man desperate to be loved, to be loved not only for his music but for himself. I thought Christine could be the one to finally show you that love since I was so afraid to do so. But not afraid of you but what I know you would say. Christine chose wrong, Erik. I would've chosen you in a heartbeat... I do choose you."

●on winter hiatus● '"And so it is with great pleasure that I, Odin, King of Asgard and protector of the Nine Realms, announce the royal engagement of my firstborn son, Thor, scion of Asgard," Odin's mighty voice booms through the crowds, making it nearly impossible to grasp the essence of his words. "To the Lady Y/n of Vanaheimr, last hero-born of the Nine Realms!" As my gaze flicks to the royal family, the wide and glossy eyes of the second born prince planted firmly at the All-Father's side, lock with mine. And it is then that I see it vanish from the eyes I so adore. Gone is the calm, gone the order. It's the worst possible moment for the realisation to hit me square in the face. I am devoted to him, the God of Mischief and Chaos. And that wholeheartedly. Also am I now betrothed to the crown prince - his brother.' ♤ Her birth had been a gift. Her life a promise. Raised as the key to a prophecy foretold to save the Gods from their doom, fate links young Y/n to Asgard. And to its princes. As the years pass them by, they grow inseparable. However, when her heart gets entangled with the one, she is forced to choose the other. Consequences are what will follow. And they bear the name of Loki - God of Mischief and Lies. But Loki has fallen. It's what he does. Fallen for false promises, fallen from grace, fallen from a bridge, fallen for a life he may never lead. With their paths diverging across the realms, it is on Earth where they meet again. And that, on opposing sides. Still, they cannot outrun fate - bound to unveil the lie behind their truth and the myth behind their reality. ________ ▪︎MATURE CONTENT▪︎ Violence, Depression, Death, Sexual Content ▪︎SPOILERS▪︎ for the "Thor" trilogy & "The Avengers".

Both have a past they don't like. She was tortured and he was neglected. But when the God of Mischief has to be held captive in her home she can't help be curious. She's one of the few who shows kindness to the misunderstood God; not caring that the others around her don't approve. When troubles come her way making her life haywire he's there for her as well. So falling in love with him along the way will obviously happen...right? (This story may have some parts that may be triggering to the reader) (I write as I go without having a full storyline thought out so I am unable to say when they might come)

This is a completely platonic avengers fic with only platonic relationships between avengers and my character I don't own the avengers. I only own my character Rose and a few additional characters here and there Yes the entire story might sound similar to a few of you...I had a separate account but lost it due to some technical errors a few months back..I have tried to get it back but am unsuccessful and hence created a new account to post the same story here. I am sorry to all those who liked my story on my previous account and hope they find my current account. I have changed the name of the main character but the story stays completely same I hope you enjoy the story and show support towards it Thank You
