I’d been eyeing this stunning design by @aleksibriclot for years, and a little while ago (after two years of working on it) I finally finished it! It has all the dark norse fantasy vibes that I wanted Ragnarok to be, and I figured hey, I can make it myself!
I had to up a lot of my leatherworking skills for this one, and I dove into a lot of new skills as well to try to make all the pieces a cohesive whole. It uses lambskin leather, suede cowhide, and veg tan, as well as an entire sheepskin for the cape!
This whole costume has truly been a labour of Loki love and I’m so glad I was able to share all the madness (process) and the finished look!
I wanted to give him armor reminiscent of his outfit in IW, but note his gold aesthetic has returned. This takes place in an AU where he has embraced his identity as an Odinson, and fights beside Thor to bring down Thanos

Casey’s desk was full of them. Stones of different shapes and sizes, colors unique to a specific variant. In his world, or timeline, or life—Loki wasn’t sure at that point—the infinity stones were one of a kind. The invaluable treasures being sought the very moment he picked up the tesseract in the lobby of Stark Tower and here, on top of poorly written paperwork in a dingy, leaking office, sat a plethora of stones.
And they didn’t work.
Which meant the tesseract would not work.
And when Loki picked up the blue, glowing cube and mustered whatever might he could, nothing happened.
The Time Variance Authority was an eternal prison, though whether he wanted to admit it or not was an entirely different story. Loki had forgone the mission to return home the second the threatening lady with an evaporating stick burst through the office doors to return to the theater.
The room remained dim as it had been before. The cubed screen was blank, the single chair still waiting to be warmed as it sat enclosed behind blocks of concrete and lead paint. The machine on the table intrigued him more than he wanted to believe, except the outcome whatever his future would entail was far from promising.
His mother—the one who gave him unconditional love after all he had done—was killed by his own mistake. Dead, forever, because he couldn’t lead her down the right path. Loki had never felt emotion bubble so quickly. It’s lingering pain twisting his heart in one thousand directions of indescribable discomfort. Loki would live forever in this timeline knowing his mother died because of him.
As horrifying as that was, the sequences of his “greatest hits” that were to follow were far beyond his imagination.
As the curiosity in his brain overtook the sensible ignorance he normally would have used, Loki sat down in the red chair and turned to the machine. Mobius had turned the nobs in a clockwise movement, fast-forwarding through his life to show him his failures. Surely the milestones in his life were more than just the deterioration of his goals? Right?
Wrong.
The sequence had stopped at the body of his mother. Bloodied from the blade of a foe, fallen into the eternal slumber of death. Embedded into his tearful eyes, Loki moved forward. His father was next, which he half expected but hadn’t understood why. These clips were fragments of a reality he couldn’t recall, and their stories were only ending before him. Sat on the edge of a cliff with Thor, Odin went peacefully into the world beyond—at peace with both his sons and their mistakes.
The clips moved quickly to the land he had called home. Asgard was near up in flames, a woman who he had no familiarity to stood before him, his brother, and another in a Valkyrie uniform. The questions swirling in his head were unavoidable, but they disappeared at the sight of his future.
The woman in black, with horns extending beyond her body held a woman close to her chest. A threatening position, one arm around her neck, another resting in a fist against her stomach. No matter the future of variant he would experience in the TVA, he would always remember the woman who took his breath away.
She was kind, good—far too generous for a man like himself. She laughed with a joy so full of life it made him feel alive, refreshed from a life of war and indignities. Her eyes sparkled against the night, her touch was soft and innocent even when the activities were far from it.
She was the one woman outside of his mother who loved him. When she loved Loki, he felt bigger than the small world he was trapped in. When she loved Loki, he wasn’t trying to impress and conquer worlds, he was just living.
And he watched with furrowed brows as the woman in black held her against her will, no struggle or hesitance from her in return. Her gaze was trained on Loki, a fond sadness and tears reflective in his own at that moment mirrored against hers. She was saying goodbye in her own way and now, in the fifth-floor theater of the TVA, Loki would watch a death occur outside his memory that pained him more than life itself.
The woman in black created a blade out of thin air, much like he was able to do, and let it manifest itself right through her stomach. The air was sucked out of her, the life quickly draining from her face as she was pushed to the ground and the blade pulled out. The woman in black knew that without the blade, death was certain. No one could magically heal another on that bridge, Loki would suffer and watch the woman he loved die without his arms around her, telling her everything would be alright even if it wasn’t.
And then the sequence was over.
Loki’s breathing had all but stopped in that moment. The frozen image of the woman he loved lifeless before him trapped like a prison in his mind. The sadness flowed freely as he sat alone in the room, so overcome with emotion that he allowed himself to be weak, vulnerable, and weep with a fury he surely believed you hated.
First his mother, then his father, then you.
The three people who matter more than his own life, dead, because of his ignorance and mistakes. Loki’s thirst for power so great that death was inevitable, almost guaranteed on the forms of tasks he signed the moment he gave his signature smirk of approval. His future was filled with events he would never forgive himself for. He would never allow anyone to that letting his mother go down the wrong staircase was just an accident, or that sending his father off to a distant planet was careful because of cognitive decline, or that allowing her to fight beside him was just the right thing to do between two people who wanted their relationship to be filled with equality.
Loki would always blame himself for her death.
The machine flickered and began moving forward once more without his instruction. Loki moved to turn it off when he heard his own voice, low and gravely, but laced with a fear he himself was familiar with. The film showed exactly that. A fearful Loki pledging his “undying fidelity” to Thanos. He had not yet met the man of the hour, but there was no mistaking who that was. And like a fool, Loki drew a blade to his neck.
He was watching himself die at the hands of Thanos. The one who had sent him to destroy New York only hours before he began watching the tapes before him. Loki was horrified at the scene. His life draining as quickly as it did for her, leaving him lifeless on the cold floor of a ship while the sounds of Thor crying filled the room.
The film ended there.
His life in pictures, short and filled with sorrow and mistake after mistake, death after death.
The worst part wasn’t accepting that all of it happened. He knew he had to because it was reality. The worst part was that he could no longer change the reality of the future. The past was the past, but the future was unknown and now he knew that he couldn’t save his mother.

Summary: You join Wanda when she drives to Westview. Next thing you know, you’re reunited with Loki who you lost years ago because of Thanos. He’s there to welcome you home 1950s style and make up for lost time.
Author’s Note: This was requested and I absolutely loved this idea. I hope you like it! <3
YOUR POV
When everyone came back, it had been a miracle. Everyone who had vanished during the blip. Everyone who had vanished when Thanos had singlehandedly taken away half of all life. Most people were happy to have their loved ones back. Most people got someone back.
But that wasn’t your case, nor was it for Wanda. She came back into a world without Vision, you had to keep living without Loki. You always knew that he had died differently. Thanos had killed him and you had witnessed it. You should’ve known just how real it was, that he was gone. Seeing it should’ve been proof enough in order for you to move on and let go. Yet somehow, when the portals opened you had dared to feel hope. Deep down, you had hoped he too would’ve walked out of the golden gates with everyone else, but you had been wrong.
