Alignment-swapped AU, looking for a home maybe. Possible spoilers anyway.

[anticking]

At least... at least I think Mjolnir will no longer come to his hand. The magnitude of his crimes have lost him that piece of himself, even if he believed he was worthy, as king.

Without Mjolnir, Midgard will be safe.

My brother was never one so kind. Shall I mourn for one who never was? -- No. Odin named me his successor, and it is time I act it, no matter my heart.

[industrialized]

His crimes? [ Tony's feeling a bit out of the loop. That's usually a bit of an issue, and with Fury's lot would be quickly fixed by a portable system hack. Loki is not so simplistic. ] You're probably going to have to dignify that with an explanation. Last I checked, you were in some deep water yourself. Mourn? Really-- really? [ Wry. ] Grown yourself a conscience overnight. Nice.

[anticking]

I may be cold, Stark, but I have no more need to grow a conscience than you do to build another heart.

[gotohel]

You've thought that before.

[anticking]

Have I? Which part?

[gotohel]

That he would no longer find himself worthy of the Mjolnir. After what he did to you, shouldn't that have deemed him unworthy of it?

[ohmythor]

[ Opens mouth. Shuts it. ]

... this doesn't sound like the story I know.

[anticking]

Then tell me yours, Jane.

[ He says her name with soft familiarity. Gentle respect. ]

[spiderhorse]

[MOM

Blah blah, only on thing matters:

If you are Odin's successor, will I be your steed?]

[anticking]

There are none swifter.

[ Though he balks at sending Sleipnir into danger. ]

[progeni]

How did you get free?

[Because Thor swore the last time he saw his brother it was in confinement after he brought him back home, awaiting the All-Father's judgment.

Mjolnir, by the way, is safely in his hand. He holds to it tightly.]

Brother...you should be resting. You will return with me to your--
[He pauses and tries to think of a more fitting word than cell.] ...room.
Now, please.

[anticking]

I know. I need rest more than anything in the Nine Realms, but I won't get it yet.

[ He eyes Mjolnir. His eyes flick back up to Thor, and exhaustion is all there is within them. ]

Do not touch me.

oh, hey.

[kinglaufey]

[ This is interesting. ]

[anticking]

King Laufey.

[ A new tension in his form, despite his exhaustion.

Jotunnheim is where he plans to go, next. He fears it, and he is drawn to it.

The sight of his -- father? -- leaves Loki with a dry throat. ]

[lion_of_asgard]

You would dare to sully the name of Thor with more of your lies, Loki?

[anticking]

Volstagg -- why would you accuse me of such a thing?

[brosif]

You speak false.

[That he has escaped his prison is almost inevitable. That uses his escape to slander the only ally he has left is inexcusable. She charges at him, and a dead friendship does not slow her pace.]

[anticking]

[ He knows her, with the familiarity of a trainer, of a fellow warrior, of a sovereign. How simple, then, to shift between illusioncraft and real, to step to the side and bring her down and pin her there. ]

Calm yourself, Sif. I will not fight you.

[ex_caping139]

Brother.

[there's a lot about what's been said that confuses him, but Thor's exhausted - and he sounds it. try coming out of a steel trap falling out of the sky sounding better.]

You would try to take Mjolnir from me, as well? Do you truly blame me so much for your hurts?

[anticking]

[ He knows that feeling, Thor. He knows. ]

This is not about blame. Not anymore.

[swissarmybow]

Alright, now I sort-of believe you're not trying to screw with my heart or my head anymore.

[anticking]

I convinced Jane -- the woman, above...

THEN SOMEONE NOT FROM THE CANON if that's cool too?

[kingunmaker]

Heavy is the head which carries the crown, or so I've heard. I suppose that increase in weight would apply to the heart as well~.

[Here Loki, have someone with an oh so ~friendly~ smile, fine posture but ever ready to bow his back to anyone who carries themselves prouder, and eyes that you can never quite see all the way through. In other words, an individual JUST as trust-worthy as yourself~.]

[anticking]

To the heart and the neck, I would say.

[atwar]

None in Asgard will mourn him after the evils he has wrought. We will not blame you if you grieve not either.

[anticking]

I still love him.
