Loki Crowned at Last

Description

The words of gratitude spilled out of Loki as most truly heartfelt words did: in threes.  He still feet a keen insufficiency in expressing how it felt to be standing before a looking glass, in a hovel in London, in exile that was, this time, self-appointed, head crowned by a quiveringly personal expression of both his selfhood and his greatest lifelong ambition.  It was as if Thor were some kind of great clumsy golden-maned Fairy Godfather who had made Loki a prince from cinders, as one of Jane’s old folk tale texts on her plentiful dusty bookshelf attested.

Not only that, but Thor stood before Loki in bashfully joyous expectancy.  Never before had the power to crush his sibling been so readily at his fingertips.

Loki turned to face Thor, and Loki chose benevolence. 

"The craftsmanship, and the meaning implicit in the gesture, brother," he choked.  

Damned if Thor hadn’t reduced his baby brother to an undignified weeping whelp again.

"I am no ignoramus as to the design and construction of fine metals….you can not but have whittled away your fortunes and your time and your efforts….ah, eheh, and Jane’s aid to boot….in order to craft something so intricately meaningful."  

He removed the crown and held it in his hands, fingering each tiny filament and burnished angle.  His thumb  caressed the v of the center and its emerald. 

How wonderfully strange.  A thousand years of doing everything under any moral range to earn the approval and affection of a man who always used me as a puppet anyway….only to find that to surmount the demons he burdened upon me….to cease to care whether or not he could be pleased…to cease to be the prisoner of a dichotomy with my favorite person, his Chosen son…to instead utilize my newfound autonomy to LOVE Thor and fiercely advocate Thor’s welfare…. 

…at last, in this endeavor, have I earned a crown.  

Is this worthiness? 

"You have given me a happiness that I cannot adequately express," he gulped, with a hapless wet laugh, as he donned his gift again.  

"Embrace me," he very nearly bleated. </i>
