"Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old."

~ Matthew 13:52

Me, in a zoom class: *works on different class and actively not listening*

Instructor: "...okay now we'll break out into groups and-"

Me: oh no.

My internet.

It seems to have.

Stopped working.

Somehow.

Too bad.

Imagine Loki being instructed to drop everything and come back to Asgard for a series of diplomatic meetings… even though that would mean cutting your honeymoon short.

Loki finds a loophole, reasoning that nobody said he had to come alone. So, he brings you with him. (“Let’s see what the Allfather thinks of *that*.”)

The meetings, consisting of the entire royal family of Asgard and a passel of bigwigs from other realms, are painfully long and mind-numbingly boring. Loki, who has been done with the whole thing since day one, spends the majority of the time during the meetings either stewing about being dragged into this crap or daydreaming about you… and about continuing your honeymoon despite the change of scenery.

In an effort to not mope about the whole thing, you decide to spend the time away from Loki catching up with Sif, who had been your maid of honor. You’re not nearly as bored, but it’s not the same. At one point, Sif asks how your honeymoon “was,” which reminds you of the change in plans.

On the morning of the last meeting, you and Loki walk up the hallways hand-in-hand, not wanting to let go and part for your respective meetings.

“If I attend another of these diplomacy meetings, I may very well go insane.”

“I know, but this is the last one.”

“Must I?” Loki gives you a cheeky look before kissing you lovingly on the lips. You barely part for air before sharing another, deeper kiss.

The meeting is about to start, and Loki is nowhere to be found. There is some debate between waiting for him, starting without him, and sending someone (and whom?) to get him.

Frigga doesn’t trust anyone not to be a jerk about it, and states that she’ll get him herself. But she’s been unaware that you had come with Loki…

… Until she walks up on the two of you making out in the hall by the library.

You jump, suddenly hyper-aware of someone approaching.

Frigga is just as startled to see you pressed against the wall and slightly disheveled under Loki’s wandering hands as you are to see her… or anyone, for that matter. She’s also a little embarrassed upon seeing what the two of you were up to, despite the fact that you and Loki are freaking married.

Naturally, there is nothing anyone can say or do to make the situation less awkward. You’re both fully clothed, but it’s still less-than-ladylike. After all, the Allmother just caught you making out with her youngest son while he started getting handsy. How mortifying!

Loki tries to pretend you were only hugging (suuurree), refusing to meet Frigga’s gaze.

Frigga takes a deep breath before telling the two of you to go resume your honeymoon, promising to cover for both of you.

Morning Devotional for January 3

He led them forth by the right way.

He found [Jacob] in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the Lord alone did lead him. — Even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. — For this GOD is our GOD for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death. Who teacheth like him?

Read: Psalms 107:7; Deuteronomy 32:10-12; Isaiah 46:4; Psalms 23:3-4; Isaiah 58:11; Psalms 48:14; Job 36:22;
