Seven Sentence Sunday
Thanks for the tags @thosegayoldmen, @westwardly and @megglesthegeek!
Started a WIP the other day for one last Fluffy July fic, which I'll be posting on the 29th (provided I don't read it back and go, "wtf is this crap??", lmao). This one too is set in the murky realm of speculative MCU future canon, though is standalone and not part of my Taking Root series.
Being the guardian of All Time for time immeasurable, before the multiverse had been destroyed by an insidious power he had not been anticipating, Loki suspected that much of what he’d learned was now lost in the fading miasma of painful memories, only to be replaced many times over by all that he’d seen and experienced whilst peering into the branches he’d lovingly sustained. Endless apertures through which he’d glimpsed all of existence… and now it was all but completely obliterated. He had barely been able to shed tears over the loss of his beloved creation, so numb was he upon discovering what had happened. Even now, he merely felt leaden inside, like every timeline he’d failed had burrowed deep within, dragging him down with them into oblivion. Thor had already told him many times that it hadn’t been his fault. That he was brimming with pride over his courageousness and selflessness, and was honoured to call him ‘brother’. Nevertheless, it was absolution he still craved, and not in the least from the one he’d left slumped in uncomfortable repose in an armchair in the other room; the one who had kept him strong, kept him surviving, for centuries and beyond.
