[♔] –“Give me Mjölnir, and I am yours to command.”
Inverse!AU: Thor is a berserkr imprisoned for off-realm massacres and Loki is the beloved crown prince of Asgard. Faced with a powerful enemy and imminent destruction of the Nine, Loki has no choice but to trust his vicious adopted brother with Asgard’s most powerful weapon… and his life.
#hahahahaha #oh no #bc it could so easily go this way#because they are both of them two halves of a perfect kingship#loki’s thoughtfulness and deviousness and brilliance untempered by being in the shadows or his doubt about himself and his family and his ro#his role; that would make him beloved; beloved for his wisdom as much as thor is beloved for his glory and kindness#and thor has just as much capacity for viciousness and darkness in him#the inverse works on a fundamental level; you flip a level in the upbringing of the characters#and thor could just as easily be the dark one; the dangerous one; the monster they whisper about as the halls of asgard tremble#if he gave into his selfishness; his hunger; and loki hadn’t (via okayophelia)
So, this is kind of amazing.
