I hope you enjoy and that I can hear from you after about what you think! Think of it as a holiday gift to me!
Onboard the plane that had brought her to Loki’s location, Luna sat with a scowl beside said mischief maker. He was innocently sitting there, not saying a word, but that was not what was bothering her.
The man in a full suit of red and gold armor was the issue. He had pulled his faceplate up and Luna could see his tanned face, as well as the eyes that looked first at her, then to Loki, and then back to her.
Apparently his parents had not taught him that staring was rude.
After minutes of this back and forth Stark threw his hands up in the air, “For the life of me I cannot see it.”
Both Luna and Loki rose a brow, prompting him to explain. Luna considered moving the scepter she held from pointing at Loki to pointing at Stark, but let him speak.
Stark looked at Luna while pointing at Loki, “Is he good in bed? Because the last time I checked killing innocent people isn’t hot,” that gave him a thought, his eyes looking away before looking back to Luna suspiciously, “Well, so long as you’re not a psychopath. Tell me, what was the goal in hitting me again?”
“Are your feelings hurt that a girl beat you?” Captain America joked from the other side of the flying machine’s bay.
Stark pointed a finger at the soldier, “Hey, she caught me off guard, Capsicle. At least I wasn’t on ice for a century,” he turned his attention back to Luna, “I’d like to see you try that again when I’m looking.”
The transformed Alicorn rolled her eyes at the mortal, “Like you caught Loki off guard?”
The red and gold armor lifted one hand up and pointed it at Luna, the same hand that had knocked Loki off his feet. In return, Luna finally pointed the Scepter she stole from Loki at Stark and gave him a glare that threatened him to make a move.
Captain America stood up and moved in-between the two, “Don’t. You’ll break the ship.”
Luna lowered her staff and Stark followed suit with his hand, both still glaring at eachother and neither noticing the giant grin on Loki’s face.
The mischief maker smiled at Stark, “I think it’s my personality, for the record,” Stark snorted and Loki turned to the woman beside him, “Luna, mind hitting him for me again when we get off?”
“I’m tempted,” Luna whispered in an aggravated voice.
Using the advanced systems of his armor Stark heard her clear as day, “Hey, same team remember?”
Luna pointed her staff at Stark again, “No, your team wants Loki to get the Tesseract back. My team wants Loki back in one piece. Not the same, although similar.”
Loki nodded to Luna, “I like her team better.”
The staff swiveled back to face Loki, who scowled as it scratched his face, “What did I say about talking until you call off this madness?”
This all made Stark snicker from across the plane, “Okay, from the way it looks I am going to assume that she’s the dominant one.”
“Knock it off Stark,” Captain America warned, having just been about to sit down again.
Stark turned his attention to the soldier, “Why should I, old man? She’s the one who is dating the guy we were brought in to catch. She’s not even a part of Nick Fury’s little team.”
Luna smirked smugly at Stark, “Director Fury personally brought me aboard after I helped him.”
Stark rolled his eyes, “How nice that must have been. ‘Sorry my boyfriend just murdered your agents, let me try to stop him.’ Why are you even here? We obviously have this all under control.”
“Captain, would it be permissible for Mr. Stark to have an accident on the way?” Luna asked, finding herself fed up with the shorter man.
“I am sensing a hostile work environment. Are you sensing a hostile work environment, Cap?” Stark sarcastically complained.
A loud rumble outside the plane caught the attention of all, silencing their conversation. Another rumble followed by the crash of thunder made Loki’s eyes widen, his gaze falling to the window of the ship.
Captain America chided the Asgardian, “What’s the matter? Scared of a little lightning?”
Loki looked around nervously, “I’m not overly fond of what follows.”
He could not move in time to dodge the punch to his face by Luna, whose favorite element of nature to manipulate was lightning. It could harm and scare both, particularly useful tools for her duty of protecting Equestria.
Loki looked over to her, now having a bruised cheek in addition to the already bruised part of it, “I didn’t mean you-”
His clarification was cut off by the one whom he had feared, a tall figure with silver armor, a red cape and blonde hair opened up the hatch in the back of the slow moving plane. Before anyone could even stand up the tall figure grabbed Loki by the throat and pulled him out of the plane, not saying as much as a word.
Stark put his faceplate back on, dumbstruck by what just happened, “Now there's that guy.”
“Thor,” Luna gasped, realizing who it must have been. Thor, god of thunder. The armor and cape matched what Loki had shown her through apparitions and description.
And he had taken Loki. Luna was hesitant about confronting him, knowing that if Thor took him to their home he could possibly end this matter, but also worried about how Loki’s barbaric culture would handle things.
“Is he a friendly?” Captain America asked, also unsure how to proceed.
Stark walked over to the exit Thor had opened, “Doesn't matter. If he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract's lost.”
Captain America reached a hand out to his ally, not wanting to rush into anything, “Stark, we need a plan of attack!”
Stark looked back to Captain America, “I have a plan. Attack.”
This said, he jumped out of the hoverjet and raced after Thor and leaving his allies behind.
His brashness made up Luna’s mind as well. Using her magic, Luna took her natural form and spread her wings in the suddenly small aircraft. Looking back to the stunned Captain America, Luna spoke to him.
“Loki’s brother or not, I had best make sure Loki does not escape in this coming battle. I will return with them.”
The soldier nodded to the talking horse as they leapt off the plane and gave chase to the other two, wings flapping as Luna desperately tried to catch up.
From the cockpit of the jet came the voice of Agent Romanoff, who had been observing the situation over the camera.
“I'd sit this one out, Cap.”
Captain America took a parachute from the plane’s wall and approached the edge, “I don't see how I can,” pulling the parachute on, he prepared himself to leap, “I think that old saying about pigs flying should be changed to horses now.”
Maybe Luna had not been bluffing about her abilities.
Somewhere out in the European mountains of Earth, Thor throws Loki into the side of a nearly flat mountain top and lands beside him. He raises the mighty hammer, Mjolnir, and he looks down at his brother angrily.
He had thought Loki to be dead, but to learn that he survived and was doing terrible deeds was almost worse.
“Where is the Tesseract?” Thor barked loudly at Loki, who laughed at his sibling in return.
“I missed you too,” Loki chokes out despite the pain he felt from his impact, coughing from his pain.
Thor looked at Loki menacingly, threatening him with his hammer, “Do I look to be in a gaming mood?”
Loki took it all in stride and jovially responded as he stood up, “Oh, you should thank me. With the Bifrost gone how much dark energy did the Allfather have to muster to conjure you here? Your precious Earth.”
Thor dropped his hammer, causing the mountain to quake. With his hands free he grabs Loki forcefully, his dear younger brother, and while extremely furious for what Loki has done Thor cannot help but care for his sibling.
Even to beings as powerful as them, family meant everything.
Thor’s voice quieted and his face softened, “I thought you dead.”
Loki’s snarkiness left him as he thought to the events surrounding his fall. He never had learned how things had been after his defeat, “Did you mourn?”
“We all did. Our father-”
Loki holds his index finger out to point at Thor’s face, “Your father,” Loki placed emphasis on the first word, his words as cold as his world of origin. Loki knocked Thor’s hands off of him and slipped by his brother, “He did tell you my true parentage, did he not?”
Having spoken to his father about why Loki tried destroying all of Jotunheim, Thor did know of Loki’s true parentage. He knew Loki was not like him, but rather the son of the late king of Jotunheim Laufey.
None of that mattered to Thor however.
As Loki continued to walk away from him Thor pleaded with Loki, chasing after him, “We were raised together, we played together, we fought together. Do you remember none of that?”
Loki turned to face Thor, voice betraying the mixed emotions he felt. The resentment, anger and sadness, “I remember a shadow. Living in the shade of your greatness. I remember you tossing me into an abyss. I was and should be king!”
Thor’s quick temper rose as he responded, the entirety of his willpower keeping him from throttling Loki, “So you take the world I love as recompense for your imagined slights. No, the Earth is under my protection, Loki.”
His brother’s sentiment only amused Loki, who found himself laughing, “And you're doing a marvelous job with that. The humans slaughter each other in droves, while you ideally threat. I mean to rule them. And why should I not?”
Now Thor was the one amused, “You think yourself above them.”
Not understanding the question, given that he was in every way superior to them, Loki responded bluntly, “Well, yes.”
Having finished approaching Loki, Thor spoke to him like a teacher, “Then you miss the truth of ruling, brother. A throne would suit you ill.”
Angrily, Loki shoved his brother to the side and walked past him. Thinking to everything he had experienced not during his time in Equestria, but rather his time away from it, Loki felt indignant at how he was being scolded like a child by his ignorant brother, “I've seen worlds you've never known about!”
He walked back up to where Thor had first slammed him before turning around, “I have grown, Odinson, in my exile!” he seethed at Thor’s surname, “I have seen the true power of the Tesseract, and when I wield it-”
Thor cut him off and approached Loki, “Who showed you this power? Who controls the would-be-king?”
Loki was at the end of his patience for his older brother and lost all control in his voice as he yelled, “I am a king!”
Similarly Thor lost his own patience and shoved Loki before grabbing him once again, “Not here! You give up the Tesseract! You give up this poisonous dream!”
His voice and face softened again as his thoughts went to their family, who Loki now claimed to not be a part of, “You come home.”
Loki took a moment to compose himself and place another smirk on his face.
“I don't have it.”
Thor’s response was to summon his hammer, which flew to the Asgardian’s hand.
Loki could tell that he was getting under Thor’s skin, so he did what any rightful younger sibling would do and continued.
“You need the cube to bring me home, but I've sent it off I know not where.”
Thor pointed the hammer at Loki threateningly, “You listen well, brother. I-”
He did not finish, for a red blur smashed into him and knocked him off the cliff. This left Loki alone to watch them both tumble down from the top of the mountain to the forest below.
Quite amused by this, Loki continued the conversation as if Thor was still there, “I'm listening.”
Loki looked down from the cliff to the woods below where a fight broke out between his two enemies, smugly grinning as they knocked each other back and forth.
Luna landing beside him in her equine form did not surprise him, nor did her transforming back into her Asgardian form. She silently watched with him, even finding herself smirking at the brilliance of the situation. This would be the perfect opportunity for Loki to pull something, if she were not to be there.
Luna actually found herself giggling, “Just let them kill one another. A pretty good plan I must say.”
Loki looked at her indigo robe out of the corner of his eye, “And here I was thinking you to be some saint who would oppose me until her dying breath.”
Her shoulders shrugged as she gave Loki a worried glance, “You forget that I have been where you are before.”
Thor’s hammer slamming down on the shield of the newly arrived Captain America sent out a shockwave across the forest, leveling a good portion of it in the nearby area.
Loki gave an impressed whistle, “A nice hit. You have made some grand friends I must say.”
Luna watched Thor get up from the shockwave and then turned to Loki with a smirk he might be proud of due to its smugness, “I look forward to speaking with your brother. Seems quite cheerful.”
“He is not my brother,” Loki responded icily.
A punch to his shoulder caught him off guard. Luna lowered her fist and rolled her eyes at him, “Oh drop it. Did you not spend the entirety of your life as if he was your true kin?” Loki kept quiet, not having a response for her, “Then what does your blood have anything to do with it?”
He narrowed his eyes as he watched the group assembled to catch him make their way up the mountain, “I do not need to hear this a second time.”
Luna took a handful of his garb and shook him lightly, “And what of your mother? Would you forsake her over blood?”
Loki caught Luna’s chiding look, “I despise your ability to read me.”
She returned his sentiment with a stuck out tongue and a laugh, “I love you too dear.”
He shook his head and looked back to the approaching group of men, “You know, if you were not here it would be quite easy to slip away. Too much effort I reckon to do it now.”
“Precisely. No matter who would have won the skirmish down there, I would be here to take you home. I didn’t care who wins between them so long as they assist me in ending your schemes.”
“You really do not know what you are getting into,” Loki muttered, not explaining what he meant by that.
Luna pulled Loki so that he was face to face with her, looking right into his blue eyes while narrowing her own set, “Well then let me. Loki, I don’t know what to make of you. One moment you are killing innocents and another you are like the man I fell for.”
Loki diverted his gaze momentarily before looking back into hers, “Luna, you may either join me or forget me. I do not care to fight you now that there is no need for it.”
Luna opened her mouth to respond when another voice chimed in, belonging to her absolute favorite individual there that she wanted to put through a wall.
“You lovebirds ready?” Stark complained, having finished the scenic route up the mountain that Captain America had suggested, the three all having been winded after the fight and none of them having been in any rush.
Thor looked to Stark and then to Loki, who had a mysterious blue robed woman grabbing on to him, “Lovebirds?”
Stark laughed at Thor’s expense to the chagrin of all there except him, “Yeah, apparently since the last time you saw your brother he went on Match.com. I didn’t even know they had a function to search for horses, but here we are.”
Thor looked over the woman more closely and found no sign of her being an equine, “I see no horse,” realizing that he was being rude, Thor held a hand out to the stranger, “Who may you be, miss?”
Luna took the hand and released Loki, smiling brightly at Thor, “I am sure we can get introductions in later. Shall we bring back our shared friend and foe?”
Luna found herself back where she was not all too long ago, sitting in the hoverjet beside Loki and across from the others which now included Thor. The trip was relatively silent until Thor gave an unsubtle cough.
“So...you two are courting?”
Luna nodded to him, a sad smile on her face as she thought back to what fun she had with the mischief maker beside her, “Yes. Or at least we were until this debacle.”
The blonde haired man nodded to Luna, looked to Loki who was staring off into space, and then back to Luna, “I am Thor Odinson, but I assume you already know that. Loki is fond of storytelling last I checked.”
That surely brought a smile to Luna’s face without a trace of sadness, “Quite. It’s how we bonded,” “I am Luna.”
“Nothing too slanderous I hope,” Thor commented, knowing Loki’s tendency to say humiliating things about him. Not that they were not true.
Luna laughed as she tugged on her robes, “How was it wearing a wedding dress?”
Thor looked at his brother with a glint in his eye as he relived the memory, “Not as fun as it was beating Loki into the dirt for not just casting an illusion on me like he could have.”
Loki rolled his eyes before staring back at the floor, “It wouldn’t have been as fun.”
Beside Thor the red armored man opened his big mouth again, “So you did wear your mother’s drapes?”
Luna felt that she was missing some context, but decided to go with it anyways.
Luna held a hand out towards the loudmouth and smiled at Thor cheerfully, “This is mister Stark. I dislike him quite much.”
Thor nodded, “I can understand the sentiment.”
Before Stark could comment Captain America pointed a finger at him, warning him about starting another argument. They both began to argue with one another about that very issue as Thor and Loki continued their own conversation.
“So, what realm do you hail from?” Thor questioned the shapeshifting mare, a grin on his face. The idea that Loki had fostered some kind of relationship with this woman made him hopeful for his brother, as he apparently still had the soft spoken and caring Loki within him if he had wooed her.
That, and Thor thought maybe having a lover to keep him in check might be the best thing ever to happen to Asgard.
Luna nudged Loki, “I come from a land named Equestria, where Loki has been staying these past months. I live there with my sister, Celestia, and together we rule over the land.”
Thor was quite impressed by this revelation, nodding his head as he tried to understand the implications of what she said. His face had as large a grin as it could manage when he finally spoke, “So if I were to have nephews and nieces they would be heir to Asgard, Jotunheim and your land,” he chuckled as both Luna and Loki grew flustered, “And I thought I was privileged.”
“Thor?” Loki asked innocently.
“Yes brother?” Thor responded hopefully.
“Shut up.”
Loki’s hushing the topic made Luna suspicious, and she leant over to glare at him closely, “What, do you not want children?”
Loki massaged his head where he was sure a migraine was about to grow, “I do not particularly care to discuss the subject in front of my enemies and my brother, no.”
“You did not answer the question,” Luna chided, finding herself quickly forgetting why they were all on this plane and focused on how she needed to have a certain talk with her lover about their future.
Stark, being himself, decided to butt in, “She’s right you know.”
Luna pointed a finger at him again, “You stay out of this.”
Thor was still smiling like a festival had been thrown in his honor, enjoying what he had learned of his sister-in-law to be,“I cannot wait for mother to hear the news.”
Praying that their trip be short and that he be placed in a solitary cell was Loki, who grumbled, “You all are insufferable.”
Great chapter, I love it
so much cute coming off of this couple it just kills me. ok now its time for the explosions.....I hope
This is hilarious.
Oh Mr. Stark, how I love and hate you...
And it appears that Luna's going to be keeping him on a short leash.
YES! Finally we get to see Thor and he's quite the lovable chap. {Older siblings usually are...Yes, I speak also of Celestia and myself.}
And Loki, stop skirting around the issue. You know your mother will smother the child with praise. {I'm hoping it's a girl.}
Though the battle to come will definitely put everyone at edge, it's actually nice to see everyone bonding. It's much better then how they were at each others throats until late into the movie.
3680410 Yes, Thor is quite lovable, although Loki would never admit that little fact until his deathbed
Loki doesn't seem very likely to talk about the topic either, at least not in the meantime. And while his mother is sweet and lovely, she is not about to spoil anybody/anypony. Love them to death, but she is actually a very responsible family member
Have you happened to see Thor The Dark World by any chance?
And who says there is another battle up and coming? Loki's caught right? Everything should be fine
Oh God, I died laughing when I first watched it
This was nice, I have nothing helpful to add so imma just say you did a great job as usual
3679873 I know, right? Such a nice couple
As for explosions...be careful what you wished for!
3679939 Why thank you
3679964 I love Stark myself, but I highly doubt he'd be the best of buddies with Luna or Loki
And Loki's the one on the leash at the moment
3680477 It was one of my favorite moments of The Avengers, so I knew I had to include it. The movie was surprisingly funny and I am doing my best to capture that, as well as add to it!
And next chapter should give you some more fuel for comments, don't worry
3680558
Yeah, I didn't expect it to have as much humor as it did. Hope Avengers 2 is just as good, if not better
And O.O
I don't know if by you saying the next chapter will give me more fuel is a good thing or bad thing
3680561 I am hoping for the best with Avengers 2, but I'm not exactly jumping for joy with how many extra characters they are adding...I liked the core group from before, and having too many people running about will just be weird. Unless they make the movie 4 hours long, which I wouldn't mind if they'd actually do it.
And I can't wait for things to get rolling along! I do enjoy what we're about to be delving into
Sleep with knowing my sadistic mind is planning things.
3680591
And still no Spiderman. But it may turn out good. Oh if only they could add Deadpool. They hopefully do know what they are doing and won't screw it up by making the movie either too short or by rushing it. I think making it a movie to be continued would be infinitely better than rushing things and making it all too simple just so they could have one movie.
And how the hell can I rest knowing that?!
Grr
*pouts in the corner*
3680599 I'd take Spiderman over ANY of the ones they are adding. In fact I'd trade every last one of 'em just for him.
And exactly Have fun in your corner
You are all in for a...treat. Yeah, that's what I'll call it
3680620
Yes. Spiderman is the goddamn icon of Marvel xD
I mean, mention Marvel to anyone and the first thing that pops up in a person's head is Spiderman, with a few people being exceptions of course but still!
Oh, "treat" huh?
Well, screw. you.
Do you like messing with my brain? Huh? Do you enjoy it?
They can't use spiderman because of some convoluted copyright distributions
Oh and i really doubt that they are out of the affair with the invasion here, its the scepter that controls the people who open the portal and not Loki and we all know why it is called the Chitauri scepter and who controls it ultimately and this being dosn't care about earth, only about the tesseract.
And if we go by the movie, taking Loki out of the equation would have changed nothing because he set everything in motion for the portal to be opened even without his presence and the Chitauri forces don't really need him to wreck general havoc.
Awesome chapter. Talk about humorous situations. Merry Christmas! Have a happy holiday.
3680621 And yes, I do enjoy doing just that
It's a hobby of mine
3680665 Oh, I know the issue with Spiderman. Doesn't make me like him not being a part any less.
And you are quite on the money with the whole scepter, Loki, Chitauri and the real master of the events.
If we go by the way the movie went absolutely nothing substantial has changed...Loki is still captive and that only helped his plan there. Will it be the same here? Mehbe, mehbe But there will be differences down the road...
3680691 Thank you. Happy holidays to you too

Why, I never! *sticks nose up into the air*
First, go read the beginning of the fight scene between Thor and Loki again. You derped the tenses big time.
Now, besides that this chapter was amazing. You nailed Stark's character and all the dialog was fantastic so I am once again eagerly awaiting future installments.
3680790 Honestly, it has now become very hard to predict Loki's actions. In the movie he was dead set against the others so it was fairly clear what would happen, but Luna provides an emotional anchor for Loki and has created an emotional bridge between the two brothers here so it is entirely possible that Loki could change his mind to some extent.
3680467 Now that you mention it, Luna could significantly change the way things play out in The Dark World. There are good odds she will wind up with custody of Loki if nothing else, and it is entirely possible that she will drastically shift the relationship between Loki and the rest of his family which could have major consequences down the line. Hm, I smell a sequel hook.
3680841 Stark, the master of snark. Next to Loki Gotta love him, and I'm glad you liked my portrayal of the billionaire playboy philanthropist.
Loki's actions hard to predict? Wonderful. The way it should be, given the character. Not even Loki knows what's gonna happen half the time with his schemes And yes, with Luna there Loki is more drawn towards possibly being good than without her.
And yes, The Dark World ought to be quite interesting with our dear princess in the mix of things. Especially since we all know she'll hit it off with Frigga Imagine the possibilities of that!
And sequel hook you say? Why I'd never
3680888 And that is why I loved this chapter so much, although I will say I am very much looking forwards to Luna embarrassing Loki in front of his parents...and everyone else in Asgard for that matter.
3680467 No, I haven't been able to watch it yet. Maybe when it comes on DVD.
Pure Emotion Mode
This chapter was HILARIOUS!!!!!!! There is nothing more I could want from it! Thank you SOO much for writing it! It's one of the best Christmas peasants I've had! I can't wait 'till the next chapter where, hopefully, the hilarity will continue! Oh, and THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR MENTIONING ME!!!!!!!! I'm going to re-read the last part because it was awesome.
Rational Review Mode
This chapter was incredibly funny yet heartwarming at the same time. I loved the way you portrayed Stark and I also loved the scene where him and Luna were arguing. Especially because of how Steve and Loki intervened and that made it even funnier. I also loved the part where Luna, Loki and Thor were talking, especially when the topic of Luna and Loki's possible future kids came up.
Curiosity
I have a semi-random question. If Loki and Luna do have kids, and it turns out like how it did in Norse mythology, what will they look like in Asgardian form? Will they have like four arms and four legs? That kinds reminds me of characters in Hindu mythology. I know they you may or may not actually include them having kids in your story. Probably not. But still, eventually they probably will. So it's still fun to wonder.
Just so you Know
I've been following and loving this story since you had written nothing but chapter one. I would've commented but I hadn't registered to FimFic at that point. I went on the site a lot but didn't have an account. Your story was really the only reason I registered.
Bit of Personal Stuff
Merry Christmas! Thanks for the update. I wish I couldgive you something in return.
P.S This story excites me a lot for reasons I don't fully understand. Probably because it's the one of the best stories ever written. Get used to my extremeness because it's part of my identity. In other words, deal with it.
3680888 Hm, speaking of The Dark Wold, Luna could break the hell out of it because that one cursed guy is probably not immune to her magic. His death made it seem to be slanted against Asgardian weapons/magic, but Luna does not use them and can probably call upon dark magic similar to the grenade things. That would be one heck of a plot derailment and could have some very interesting results.
3682495 I will confirm now that should Luna confront Kursed, her magic would be more useful than Thor's hammer. Not going to say how much more effective, for it took being sucked into a black hole to defeat him in the movie, but definitely more effective.
3681386 I'll respond in chronological order
I am quite glad you found it to be hilarious, especially since the humor will be running a bit dry in the chapters to come. And I always make sure to thank my reviewers for their support, as without them I would be unable to continue writing at the pace that I do.
Luna and Stark not getting along has been something I've been planning for a bit, for a specific reason to be revealed later on. It fits with how none of the Avengers seem to be on the same page during the movie, and it fits the previously mentioned reason you will see later on.
If Loki and Luna were to have kids, hypothetically, I would be breaking the original mythlore as it was and as such would not follow it 100% as doing so would be quite contradictory. This being said, the 8 legged Sleipnir could only possibly come about if something MADE him have those extra limbs. I am fond of there being a reason for such things, and there would have to be one for me to do it.
So will any offspring of Loki and Luna have limbs like that? Maybe, maybe not. Loki's other children from mythlore had normal limbs, so it isn't a defect that would afflict them all assuming that there would be more than one.
And so you know, a review like this is as much as I could ask from you for a gift. Hearing from readers always makes my day, and to hear such in-depth thoughts does so even more. Thank you, and I wish you a happy holiday.
3682821 That is good to hear, and having something they can actually use against him will be a major game changer even if he is still a powerhouse.
3682877 I am not sure why you are trying to be all mysterious about Luna and Stark not getting along. Based on what we saw of Luna in Luna Eclipsed I really cannot see those two getting along without major outside help, and Loki is kind of the opposite.
As for kids, they will definitely have six limbs with the alacorn wings, and some creative accounting with the horn and tail/earth pony magic can get you up to eight if you squint at it hard enough. Of course, that is supposed to be eight legs which will require some creativity unless you dump it because it really is kind of silly and the rest of the marvel verse took much greater liberties with the mythology than that.
3682920 Kurse will still be a major threat like in the movie. In fact, I'd say he was even more of a threat than Malekith given the battles he fought, and I'll be demonstrating that.
I'm not being mysterious about them hating eachother...I'm being mysterious about what it'll lead to
As for any potential kids, you all will still have to wait and see if they are even going to fit into the story. Ya'll have no idea where I'm going wit' all 'dis.
3683902 That was my impression of villain threat as well. The actual big bad was far less impressive than the Kursed guy, although the fight scene with him was absolutely fucking nuts with all the portals.
As for Stark, I know exactly where that is going. Lots of trolling back and forth for epic lols.
We'll have to see on the kid front, but my money is on Luna getting pregnant right at the end of this story because that seems like a perfect way to wrap up this installment. I would like it if Thor and possibly more of Loki's family is there for more laughs, but that will probably not wind up working out.
3684595 I still love how Frigga absolutely dominated Malekith when they fought
And we'll see on the other fronts Keep your eyes open.
3685211 I am very much with you on that, and I definitely plan on keeping an eye on this. Loki is way too much fun to just ignore after all.
You know what I likes find weird about this? The fact that Loki is technically enemies with everyone but seems to be friendly with them all. Almost (almost) as if he doesn't really want to oppose them but has to.
3682877 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR BREAKING THE ORIGINAL MYTH/LORE!!!! It would've been SOOOO awkward if you hadn't! You're the most interactive author I've ever had the privilege to communicate with. You talk so much with your fans and seem to appreciate then so much. It's really sweet. This whole comment section is by far actually the most interesting/entertaining one I've come by (except maybe the one where people were talking about necrophelia(no, Bon I did not spell that right) (yep. I'm probably breaking the rules of grammar)) . Everyone here's so scientific. What I mean is that you all make so much sense and think so much and ask valid questions and draw conclusions and stuff. The comments are almost (almost) as much fun to read as the actual story.
3682877 THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR BREAKING THE ORIGINAL MYTH/LORE!!!! It would've been SOOOO awkward if you hadn't! You're the most interactive author I've ever had the privilege to communicate with.

Random question: what inspired the title?
3686753 Remember Everything by Five Finger Death Punch inspired the story's concept, and so I named it as such.
Every chapter is a lyric from another song on the playlist I have assembled for writing the story. In fact, listening to all the songs might add to the experience a bit.
Fight Inside by Red
Break by Three Days Grace
The Part That Hurts the Most by Thousand Foot Krutch
Snuff by Slipknot
Let it Go from the movie Frozen
Defying Gravity from the play Wicked
Remedy by Cold
There are more, but these are the ones used so far as influences for chapter titles.
3686622 That's not weird, that is Loki. He is affably evil when he does evil, except when someone really ticks him off (as Thor is prone to doing). He even took Stark up on his offer for a drink after The Avengers movie
3687043 Thank you for the songs. Thank you so much! They're so great and they DO enhance the experience.
3695975 Well I am glad
I've had computer issues too, but everything is back on track now. Hope you enjoy catching up!
Praying that their trip be short and that he be placed in a solitary cell was Loki, who grumbled, “You all are insufferable.”
this is the funniest thing ever!
Another Brilliant chapter and I am liking the dynamic you added into the story with luna been in the avengers universe and how she is interacting with thor.
Readability 5/5
Comedy 5/5
Storyline 5/5
Overall 999999999/15
I look forwards to reading the next chapters
LOLZ!!! This chapter was outrageously hilarious!!! Lol. I especially liked this part:
I still am wondering about Luna's deluded intentions a bit, especially when she describes "her team".
Luna... What goes on in that little love struck head of yours?
First of all she is alone there, not her sister, the Elements of Harmony, or any citizens of Canterlot are supporting her in these actions.
She had followed Loki through the mirror by her own accord, without consulting Celestia, Twilight or the Elements of Harmony.
IF she gets him back, I'd assume all the ponies who were present during his hostile takeover, including the Elements of Harmony who had taken quite the beating from him and their corrupted Rainbow Dash, will demand retaliation for his actions, probably including the punishment of imprisonment.
Theoretically speaking, no matter how much Loki held back in Canterlot, Luna can't excuse all his crimes by just stating "he was being forced or controlled". She can't prove that to her people anyway, who were quite convinced about him being very well in control of his own actions, and since his crimes are fresh in everpony's mind in Canterlot, they would demand punishment anyway.
I mean let us make a list of his crimes, at least what I think the majority of ponies would definitely accuse him of:
1. Direct mind control of her majesty, the Solar Diarch.
2. Direct mind control of Rainbow Dash, Element of Loyalty.
3. Ordering mind controlled subjects to attack their fellow ponies.
4. Directly attacking fellow ponies, the Elements of Harmony included.
5. Conspiring in a traitorous plot with Equestria's recent enemies to overthrow their ruler, effectively supporting enslavement of ponies to the Changelings.
6. Attacking her majesty, the Lunar Diarch.
7. Attacking the newly found, but not officially crowned yet, Princess Twilight Sparkle.
8. General offensive behavior towards the nobility of Canterlot (Yeah, believe me that would definitely come up, no matter how inane it sounds).
9. Injuring fellow ponies, more so members of the Elements of Harmony.
10. Injuring a child of Equestria (Scootaloo) or child abuse.
11. High treason.
Those are enough reasons to get him 'stoned' by the Elements of Harmony two times over, and I do not believe Celestia could pardon all of this, especially when her subjects will press her for giving retaliation as well. She was a direct victim of his crimes as well, and I can imagine that she isn't fond of Loki anymore herself, after what he did. Same can be said for the Elements of Harmony. As if Rainbow Dash would ever forgive him, for what he has done. He made the pony who symbolizes Loyalty turn against her friends and fellow ponies, not only that but ordering her to attack them, and he hurt scootaloo, her adoptive sister. She'd be fuming to give him a beating herself, not dissimilar to her friends, especially Twilight.
Discord was 'stoned' a second time for far less amounts of crimes, he didn't even attack civilians and caused injuries or anything, where as Loki hurt Pinkie Pie, several times.
He just made himself public enemy number 1, and I would really think Luna crazy if she truly believes his punishment could be lowered to something as 'therapy' or 'mental help', instead of banishment, to whatever plane in existence, or imprisonment. Point is after all what he has done in Canterlot, he definitely won't be welcome there anymore. No matter what Luna pleads to Celestia, the mane 6 or the public, at the very least they'd force him to stay out of Equestria, even without Luna's agreement.
Not to mention all the social problems that punishment would entail. After loosing Luna for such a long time, Celestia might be very overprotective, especially when Luna says she still loves the man who fell from Celestia's good graces very quickly, into the category of a highly dangerous criminal.
As if she would let Luna anywhere near that guy, lest she'll see her little sister, that she already lost once, fall like him as well.
In my headcanon, I can see the drama play out, when Celestia finally forbids Luna to ever associate with Loki again, trying to force her authority as the older sibling over Luna. Under a protesting Luna then, come Celestia's arguments such as:
- "I'm doing this to keep you safe, as well as Equestria and our subjects, he is too dangerous'
- "Please understand, it's for your own good to stay away from that insane man, WE both must never trust him again'
- "If word reaches our subjects that you are (still) together with him, you will be mistrusted even more than before and possibly eventually seen as a co-conspirator. I know that isn't true, but it will appear to the public as such.
- 'It's bad enough that thanks to him you were tempted to take on your corrupted nightmare powers again. He has done more damage to us than he has done good, and now this brute is stealing your heart as well? I will not stand for it! I will not loose you again, especially not to HIM!
That's real drama material there. The only one understanding Luna's affections, plus supporting them, would be Cadence.
Anyway, I hope Thor will have a quarrel with Luna, about who's jurisdiction Loki belongs to.

Uh, bruh. He is supposedly under the influence of who ever, so any trial would be screwed by the question "If you are accusing me of these crimes, why is Luna not still on the moon, and Celestia not in prison for attacking innocents while under my mind-control?"
If you not buying that Loki is under the influence, that's a different argument.
Edit: And who says they come back from Asgard that soon? Legal system there might be as hellish as around here.
“Quite. It’s how we bonded,” “I am Luna.”
1. Forgot to seperate again.
I'm just surprised that Luna didn't purposely call him Mr. Snark instead.
