Loki stared at his savior through the dim firelight in the cabin. Each breath he took hurt, the bandages constricting his abdomen where he sustained several injuries from the large pack of wolves he’d fended off. His arm was in a sling, bloodied and torn up from being brought down and drug across the snow-covered ground while in his own wolf form. All because of this mortal… this hunter, who would’ve most likely killed him had he not discovered his secret.
Mobius returned from the kitchenette with two large mugs in hand, though he cautiously approached Loki to hand him one.
“Herbal tea,” he supplied.
“Why did you help me?” Loki questioned, eyes reflecting the flames at him.
Mobius sat the mug down on the end table beside him by the couch where Loki sat. He took a seat in the chair opposite and drank from his own mug before deciding how to respond.
“Temperatures were dropping fast. You were hurt, and you…” he hesitated a moment, “You saved me first. In fact, I should ask you that very question instead.”
Loki scoffed, flicking his eyes to the fire, deciding to deflect instead of answering the question. “A monster saving a monster from monsters… It is quite foolish.”
“I’m the fool, and you’re hardly a monster…”

have you already listed out your reasons for why thor would be a vampire and loki a werewolf? i would love to know them :)
I can't take all the credit, as @/tyrannuspitch contributed to it as well. I think immortal deities and vampires both work very well as metaphors for cycles of abuse and stringent social norms.
Here is the post.
Out of the top of my head:
Odin technically "turned" Loki when he found him, "left to die." YMMV, but I am starting to interpret that MCU!L
