Loki & Mobius — The Tragedy of Time and Missed Chances

What I find heartbreaking about Lokius is how neither of them ever communicated directly because of circumstances, because of fear, because time never seemed to be right, or because they assumed they’d just have more time later…

Mobius took time and, in some sense, Loki for granted; Loki wanted to give Mobius time and freedom because, after a long time, he put someone else before himself. Maybe Loki thought that was what Mobius needed. Or, knowing how Mobius’s life and autonomy were taken from him, Loki wanted to give them back as a form of gift and a token of unconditional love.

But there’s more…

They’re a mismatch in coping mechanisms, in how they process emotions, in communication styles, and in love languages. They both seem to believe the other understands what they mean and what they feel for each other…

But love cannot exist on its own; love must be seen, felt, understood, expressed, shown, and most of all, reciprocated.

They’re an example of how much assumptions and fear can cost later.

For me, the biggest takeaway of Loki S2 is that time is never right unless you make it right. And if you love someone, you have to let them know, because our time and chances are limited.

When, in Thor: The Dark World, Loki tells Thor:

“This day, the next, a hundred years, it’s nothing. It’s a heartbeat. You’ll never be ready…”

is the perfect mirror for this.

Thanks for reading this. I’m not ok.

Mobius, introducing himself: You can call me mate

Loki: …

Mobius: short for soulmate

[tealdropsworld]

Loki: Mobius, my beloved, I’ll never part from you ever again

B-15: Who’s that fella?

Mobius: Looks like my first wife.

B-15: I didn’t know you were married.

Mobius: I’m not.

every fandom has that super tight circle of popular fic writers where everyone seems to be friends with everyone

I always imagine they’re somewhere speaking Victorian English and holding secret séances to summon the ghosts of Shakespeare and Edgar Allan Poe while the rest of us are refreshing AO3 for an update

Snippet from my #lokius reincarnation AU 🫣

this has been hibernating in my wip folder for over a year, and I’d be happy to upload it as soon as I finish the chapters before this one 😆

at least they’re alive in this 😭 (but at what cost)

The taste of whiskey.

Chemistry, passion, and desire Loki hadn’t really experienced before… (or had he?)

Loki entered the bar for the usual: losing himself among strangers had always been his greatest escape from life—from himself.

It was supposed to be another one night stand. Meaningless. Until Loki laid eyes on him.

It was ridiculously cinematic, really…

…how everything else faded around him;

…how his heartbeat halted for a moment, and then his pulse picked up and started racing through his veins;

…how a voice in his head went: “That’s him!”

Like a magnetic pull—recognition.

The encounter may have been brief, but it sparked something within Loki—the emptiness in his soul felt even deeper and colder. Sharp and aching.

Loki secretly hoped to run into the stranger again—anywhere, anytime. He had no idea who he was. He didn’t know his name. Loki only knew one thing: when their skin touched, it lit a flame inside his chest. It was like every cell in his body was burning, longing, wishing… calling out like a bird hopelessly singing for his missing other half, and waiting for an answer…

They never crossed paths again.

Additional note:

this was fun(ny) to write, because 

1) I never go to bars

2) never had a one night stand

3) have no idea what whiskey tastes like

Tom Hiddleston’s face acting in this screenshot is truly so incredible…

You can see the quiet devastation Loki feels. You can see centuries he’s spent desperately holding onto those he cares for, despite spending a lot of time putting on a front to everyone that he only cares about the throne, only to lose them. You can see the way he thinks about all the mistakes he made, the weight of his past decisions and choices and how it all lead him to this moment.

You can see the moment he is processing his decision one last time as he looks at his friends.

And then he smiles sadly, because he knows it’s the right thing to do.

Even if it costs him everything and makes him face the one thing he has been trying to avoid his whole life… Being alone. This is Loki realising that he cannot control everything. This is Loki understanding that sometimes it’s okay to lose if it means the ones you can’t live without are safe.

This is Loki letting go.
