Summary:

she is a supernova, glorious in her self destruction. he lands on her doorstep like a falling star - a meteorite burning, only bright as it breaks, an imitation. this is how they burn out; from pressure, from atmosphere, from their own light—from wanting. and maybe, by the end, if they are lucky; this is how they learn to stop, and live with the ashes.

loki falls from the biofrost, except this time where they land is not in the land of thanos, but on earth.

sigyn finds a god in her backyard.

(a story about loyalty, and a story about lies.)

Notes:

This is separated into chapters by age. So, age nine, this chapter, is really short, but chapter two, age twenty, is super long. Sorry if that's a weird format. I have written 7,000 words in chapter 2 so far, so... yeah. Kind of broken up oddly, isn't it?

Chapter 1: age nine

i. 

age nine.

her mother’s fingers brushed through her muddied, brown hair, from where it laid limp upon her scalp. she hummed, a tune the girl didn’t know the origin of, soft and sad as she combed through the knots. “sigyn,” she sighed, “my baby.” 

the girl held still under her fingers, as they shook. listened as her words turned into sobs. said nothing.

“I’m so sorry,” her mother cried, and she kept silent under the force of it.

it didn’t matter. the bruise on her cheek ached.

her mother’s apology could do nothing to stop him.
