Apon watching more episodes of rtte (again)I've been having thoughts.
Sibling thoughts.
For reference, Dagur tells Heather in a letter to take care of their little brother.
Aka: Hiccup.
So I have some thoughts for both the Berserker!Hiccup au and the cannon Hiccup, Dagur, Heather relationship. For now, I'm just going to focus on cannon. Berserker au gets its own post lmao.
Heather and Dagur regularly visiting Berk after the events of rtte. Most Hooligans are completely confused when Dagur picks Hiccup up calling him brother, and Heather joins in calling him "her favorite little brother."
Heather's complete confusion when she hears Dagur call Hiccup brother (this is when she first finds out she's related to him)
Hiccup having to explain that no, he isn't actually related to Dagur.
Heather completely disregarding this and joining Dagur in calling him her little brother (Hiccup pretends to hate it but he loves it. He always wanted siblings).
When Heather moved onto the edge, she naturally fell into the role of Hiccup's teasing older sister, even though they aren't technically related.
Dagur, Heather, and Hiccup racing their Dragons and having a no-holds-bar. They'll shoot at each other and block eachothers path if they have to.
Shattermaster absolutely adoring Hiccup.
The other riders just coming to terms with the fact that Hiccup has two older siblings now.
But yeah I've just been having thoughts about them. Hiccup deserves nice siblings.
Loki jumping off a cliff to go annoy Hela and getting promptly yeeted back to life, Thor waking up in a bad mood in the avenger's tower and going Gen Z just to be dragged by his ears back to life because no, Hela JUST started her reign, she's not dealing with annoying little siblings up until they're at least six thousand
Sylvie and Loki are good in the way that made them able to see their own right to be loved from an outsider perspective and that being said they're good in the way a platonic relationship is supposed to be. It's natural for it to have started as a romance of sorts, but its natural course will always lead towards a platonic friendship in the most truthful way of the word 'platonic'.
Sylki is good in the way that Loki - after having thought of themselves for so long as less than Thor, after believing their heritage made them unlovable - for the first time looked at this person from afar and thought ''yes, this one is worthy of love, this one is capable of doing and receiving good'' and then realized that this person was them.
Loki and Sylvie are good in the way that allows each other to see themselves as more than lies and bad endings, in the way that forced Loki to see past their self hatred and love both the rights and the wrongs and the in betweens.
People think Loki is the one similar to Frigga but that's a lie, this boy took a look at the Æsir weirdo and contracted both Odin's "Worst Long-Term Decisions Disease" and "Worst Emotional Container Syndrome" with one single touch
Thor & Loki prompt idea: Thor actually being a big brother (as in, young adult Thor and child Loki) and caring for/rising his very weird but sweet little brother while slowly realizing that he is not his blood... much less his race... and very surely starting his early mid-life existential crisis over his seventh reading of "Ten Steps Guide Against Structural Racism" and "Races Across the Galaxy"
Featuring Thor being your expected racist Asgardian going through the mental horrors to come to terms with Loki's origins while trying to keep it secret and generally short circuiting every time Loki does something even remotely un-asgardian-like in front of other people, he's deep into the denial stages, he once saw Loki's hand turning blue in real time and told himself Loki drank blue paint
More detailed version I made on Reddit below 👇
TLdR: Thor is much older than Loki and realises he's not an asgardian. With time he has to come to terms with Loki being a Jotunn and his own racism and thoughts on the matter, while trying to not harm their brotherhood
Happy Christmas people! I'm here in search of a prompt that has come in my mind: Thor being a tad older than Loki, (as in, toddler Loki & tween Thor > child Loki & young adult Thor) and needing to be the responsible one towards him, which means Thor would start seeing some of Loki's... Unusual characteristics.
Basically, he'd slowly realize that Loki isn't... An asgardian, not biologically, which meant he also couldn't be his real brother, or at least his blood brother. This puts tween Thor into the question: does he love Loki any less, knowing their brotherhood is not 'real'? And what race is his brother?
The first question is answered not long after, maybe something dramatic like Loki almost dying, or just them cuddling together in the bed, and Thor decides that yes, he does love this gremlin just the same... The second question takes his decades, maybe centuries to answer, because through the years Thor has watched this toddler grow and behave and deal with things very differently than an asgardian youngling would, and he writes every small unusual thing Loki done in a hidden notebook where he keeps his research for himself.
Despite this, I think he'd find out Loki's heritage by a great amount of obvious accidents and clues that he ignores and erases from his mind, like Loki's natural cold temperature, his weakness towards heat, the high density of his small body... The times where, for some reason, blue skin grew over his hands and across his face to reveal blood red eyes and raised skin, so fast it could have been just a trick or light, or so Thor tells himself... Until someday it gets too much to ignore, and Thor has to come to terms with the fact that his very own brother is the monster he makes public proclaims of slaughtering.
And look, I love unconditional loving brotherhood, but by angst sake, let's put young adult Thor now watching from afar his baby brother through the days, knowing each one of his mannerism, clocking every tick Loki got from Thor himself... And weighing the value of their relationship, because if in one side he loved Loki... On the other side, he was not of his blood, and a monster to make things worse. What really tied him to the frost beast in front of him?
Obviously, Thor doesn't take none of it on Loki. If anything, he gets that much clingier and softer... Most days. Because he has to make up for the days where his mind will be in the middle of that battle between love and hate, his care for the brother against his hate for a monster, the days where he will be distant for fear that he might do something he doesn't dare thinking.
This impasse takes him quite a long time to sort out, but once he settles their brotherhood truly above anything else, he's thrust into yet another problem: he HAS to make sure no one, Loki included, ever discovers his brother's true heritage.
Big text over with, I fear there's little to no work with this idea, but do any of you know of at least works with Thor discovering Loki's heritage on his own / Thor being considerably older and protective of Loki? If so, please leave recommendations 🥹🥹
