Chapter 7

Thor had been on a football team for enough years of his life to know how it felt just before a game: the high the day of, the acceptance just before the game began, the thrum of adrenaline as it started. But as Thor sat in the locker room wrapping up his hands while his teammates got dressed all around him, he couldn’t quite explain the way his heart felt like it was lodged in his throat.

It was November. The Oklahoma Cowboys had made it to to the NCAA Division I Football Championship this year, an accomplishment they were proud of—and they were facing the Yale Bulldogs. The playoff was held at Oklahoma State, so the home crowd was immense. Thor could hear the roaring from the locker room, but that wasn’t what was bothering him.

I’m very happy to announce the second chapter of my collaboration with Iggycat! You can read it here. 

I didn’t grow up in San Francisco, but it felt like I did. My family lived in Berkeley, and my friends and I would go across the bay whenever we could. My first memory of San Francisco isn’t of the Golden Gate Bridge; it is of the Bay Bridge, which lies so close to the surface of the bay you feel like you are driving on water.

“If it looks like something anyone could write, we’d rather pass.” 

He was looking at me as though that was last thing he had expected me to say. Then his expression softened and he smiled—just a wry twist of his lips, but one that made his whole face light up. “As I have read my fair share of cheap novels, I think I’ll at least be able to recognize those.” 

I grinned back, my gaze lingering on his eyes for just a moment too long. “Great. Then let’s get started.” 

 Proof that I am actually working on this chapter. ;)

Chapter 6

The night before Loki left for college was hot and humid. It was getting late, but no one was asleep; cracks of light shone under the doors leading to Thor’s room and their parents’ room, and Loki sat cross-legged on his own bed. He was not packing, and he was not looking around his room for things he might have missed; he was looking out the window.

Loki and Thor had lived in this house all their lives, and they knew all the floorboards that creaked and every hum of the water heater. Despite his efforts, Loki had never quite managed to teach Thor how to tread silently across the hallway, so it was a surprise to him when the floorboard outside his door suddenly let out a shriek. He whipped his head around and saw Thor standing there guiltily. “I was just wondering if you had gone to bed yet,” Thor said, and Loki realized that he had forgotten to turn on the light in his room. It had gotten very dark, and Loki could only just see Thor’s expression.

Chapter 5

High school had never been Loki’s favorite part of his school career. When he looked back on his senior year, it existed almost entirely in his memory as a void. Learning how to walk again was frustrating and excruciating all on its own, but he gritted his teeth and took each slow step through the school halls.

Thor’s life had never fit well into numbers; he impressed people with who he was outside of school—his personality, his conviction of what was right, his extracurricular activities. The year before, Loki had looked at the pieces of paper proclaiming his nearly 4.0 GPA and his 2300 SAT score with the same blank look he gave to all his grades. Now he wanted to rip them to shreds.

It Isn’t Always Easy Chapter 9

Loki was lounging in the common area and perusing the so-called “newspaper” when the elevator doors open. He looked up. It was Stark and a girl – nothing out of the ordinary there. “Now, I’m not saying it’s all work and no play,” Tony was saying, and then they stepped out of the elevator and Loki saw the girl’s face.

Long, straight brown hair. A pretty smile. Loki would have recognized her anywhere, and when he did, it was as though the past few years had never happened. Loki was sitting on the throne again, terrified and betrayed and angry with the dead weight resting on his shoulders of the certainty that he was going to lose Thor. Loki felt ice grip his heart, and when Stark said, “Hey, Loki, have you met Jane?”, Loki was already on his feet.
