There was a sharp and bitter edge crept into the words, a reminder that not all was well: that Thor still had a brother, but not a friend.

The Jotun have only one gender; Thor likes how Loki is no exception.

o in Thrymskivida from norse myth, the frost giant Thrym gains possession of Mjolnir and demands Freyja in return (then cross-dressing and hilarity ensues, but I digress...). I want a fic where Thrym demands Loki as a consort. Odin's like "Pppffff, your funeral, man' and poor Loki gets bundled off to Jotunheim. I'd love some cultural relativism here - Thrym expects Loki to be very grateful that he 'saved' him from the Asgardians (because the Jotuns think of them as Those Warmongering Brutes and their own realm as the centre of all culture and learning).

Thrymskviða reimagined with single-gendered Jotnar, cultural relativism, political machinations and now... bodice ripping. I should be ashamed but I am not.

Thor loved a good victory.
