Chapter 1/?
Summary: War is coming, and with Asgard a disaster, ruled by an Odin that no longer seems himself, and Thor abdicated for Midgard, Sif realizes that her warning goes unheeded, prompting her to leave her realm. It's not just the Realm Eternal in danger but all of Yggdrasil. Yet nothing ever comes easily, and as she builds her numbers and prepares her army for what is to come, another realm needs no incoming battle to destroy them. Helping them will gain her another ally for the inevitable future, but force her to choose between the realm of her birth and a people she had once thought monsters.
Some things to keep in mind for this fic:
It takes place primarily in the MCU; however, I disagree with a few things done in the movie verse, namely their handling of the Dark Elves. In this story, they have not all been wiped out. You can assume that Malekith was operating on his own, separate from the majority of his people, and Odin's little anecdote that they were gone never happened. Also, they are not creatures of the dark, that doesn't even make sense to me, thus I choose to ignore it. you can consider them to be more like their comic counterparts.
Jötnar are also not quite as depicted in MCU. For my purposes, Jötnar are not as tall as in MCU, measuring between seven and eight feet tall.
The Æsir are gods, not just aliens. Again, I prefer comic canon for this one. I reject their 5,000 year life span, but will allow that their long lives make it hard for them to conceptualize time the way we short-lived humans do.
Also in the comics, Sif was given a sword that allowed her to travel between the realms. She has that sword in this story, but I've tweaked the way she received it.
This story takes place away from Asgard, Sif believes that Loki is dead, and Odin is losing his mind. Thor is on Midgard doing whatever he does with Jane and the Avengers. Taking place appx. 18 months after The Dark World.
Because this is set away from Asgard, there will be OCs, lots of OCs.
Speaking of OCs, I need to mention that Ardunn, who will appear in Chapter 2, is an original character that belongs entirely to Ebonrune, I only hope to do him justice in this story. Most of my headcanons can be blamed on her as well, as most were born of our fangirling on Skype.
