Title is from the song "War" from Poets of the Fall.
Your thoughts mean everything to me and I would love to hear from you in the comments below! Comments are after all, and I could not get by without them from you all!
Loki did not desire to wake up. His dreams had been better than they had been in years, guided by the woman sleeping beside him, and even then they were plagued and disturbed by nightmares.
Still, the knocking on his partially repaired but mostly broken door was not welcome. Loki knew them as belonging to Thor given the intensity and speed of each knock.
“Brother, I know you must need your rest, but there are matters of great importance we must speak about.”
Loki was not stirred alone. Beside him Luna began to rise and fumble about as she came to consciousness. Loki found himself eyeing her stomach covered by her tattered blue dress. She was not showing, but he doubted that would last much longer.
Luna’s apprentice had slipped out of the room at some indeterminate point, leaving just them and allowing them some privacy. This meant that when Luna fumbled to feel for Trixie she did not touch anything, instead rolling over to give Loki an embrace.
Thor’s repeated knocking made the drowsy couple roll their eyes in annoyance, Luna finally taking it upon herself to give Loki a kiss on the cheek and nod for Loki to get up, “I will be here. Go see him.”
Her lover let out a snort, rolled on top of her and pinned the surprised Luna against the soft bed. He gave her a kiss on the lips before rolling off her other side and the bed as well, landing on his feet and letting out a sigh as Thor continued to knock urgently.
Upon opening it, Loki was taken aback by the completely distraught face of his brother. Tears were flowing down his face and his eyes were puffy from his grief.
Loki cast his gaze back towards Luna before exiting the room and shutting the door behind him. Thor reacted by reaching to embrace Loki, who was handling their grief in one of the only two ways he knew how: becoming cold and shutting down the feeling entirely. Rage would not be useful in dealing with the larger emotions, nor would it help Thor.
To Thor’s surprise, Loki returned the firm hug and actually let out a depressed breath. Loki was not breaking down outside, but the small quiver in his voice gave everything away, “Crying will not turn back time, Thor.”
“You grieve as I do. Do not pretend otherwise.”
Loki let go so as to move more away from the door, not wanting Luna to be privy to this conversation, “My time away gave me the foolish notion that perhaps, when I returned, I could make things right with you all,” Loki’s fist curled up before falling limp at his side. He had given up rage long ago. He would not fall into that downward spiral once again, “Now it appears I will not be able to set everything right.”
Thor approached him while sighing, regretful that Loki would never be able to make true amends with their father, “Loki, you need only do me one favor to earn my trust again.”
The younger brother gave the elder a confused look, but Thor continued so as to clarify, “I am no great leader, nor am I the strongest of Asgard anymore. My only experience leading is of a small team of warriors, and that does not transfer onto a national scale.”
Old wounds reopened as Loki thought about what their father’s death meant in regards to Thor, “You will be getting a lot more now that you are to be king. What, do you wish for me to be your advisor?”
The idea of playing second fiddle to anyone had always irritated Loki, who had an obsession with control. Even as finished with pettiness as he was, Loki could not imagine himself finding life fulfilling underneath his brother’s rule.
This made Thor’s next statement all the more jarring to Loki.
“I am forsaking my birthright. You shall be king.”
“W-what?” Loki sputtered, turning to face Thor fully with shock in his eyes, “Why? After all these years, after always wanting to—”
Thor averted his eyes briefly before returning them to Loki, “My place is on Earth, protecting their kind. They need a guardian of my caliber much more than Asgard does these days.”
Now Loki found himself not wanting this, as much as it once would have rung golden to his ears. Losing Thor to Earth would be a serious blow to the destroyed Asgard, “Asgard faces its own issues, what with our utter lack of security now that our forces have been completely wiped out—”
Thor smiled for the first time in the conversation and for the first time in what felt like forever since the Dark Elves came to exact ancient vengeance, “Our guard has been restored. Whatever that six armed man did, they are among the living again. Some require medical aid, but every last one of the men whose bodies are accounted for have been revived.”
With this in mind, Loki was left to muse on the idea that he was now going to be king without Thor in the way and without his disapproving father in the picture. While losing Odin hurt, Loki being able to finally live out his dreams made the impact lesser. Ruling in a manner that would make Odin proud would be the best tribute he could grant his deceased father.
“That partially solves that problem,” Loki’s face softened continually as he thought about Thor’s reasoning and possible motivations. There could really only be one true cause for him to leave Asgard, one that Loki could both sympathize with and feel irritation about, “You wish to be with your human lover.”
Thor was not going to let Loki go uncontested on that point, “Just how if I rose to the throne you would go be with your equine lover.”
While Loki could argue that Thor was foolish investing so much feeling in a mere mortal who would be gone in less than a century, he would not demean his brother for this. If Loki had learned anything in his years of suffering, it was humility and grace. The torment could have driven him to hatred, but he had strove to not give Hela the satisfaction of letting her torture get to him.
If that was her goal, to craft a humbler father, then she had succeeded. If not, Loki would be what she would not punish: a good person.
“Fine. Go. I will take custody of Asgard, but I will do so with the agreement that you are not to claim your birthright at any further point.”
Thor pulled Loki back into a hug, a big smile on the warrior’s face as tears continued to fall down his face. He was happy that Loki, in his own way, was allowing him to go despite his princely obligation to Asgard. “If I wish to reclaim the throne, it will be because you have turned evil once again and are harming our people. In that instance I would forcefully take it back as it were, so you need not worry.”
Loki found himself laughing, knowing that the threat was both true and hollow. Thor was no match a Hel trained Loki, but he would in fact fight to save Asgard should Loki prove to be a tyrant. Luckily they both knew that such a thing would not happen. Even in his period of insanity following the revelation of his origins, Loki had led Asgard (however briefly) just fine and he was not been reviled until after his disgrace.
Still, Loki had always wished to earn his place as Asgard’s King, not just receive it by default, lending a hollow feeling to this news. Despite this, Loki would do his duty as was expected of him. Asgard needed a strong and effective leader to lead it from the ruin it was afflicted with after a civil war and an invasion.
Thor gave Loki a warning look as the former continued to speak, “Serve them well, protect them, and do not dare harm them. If you follow those tenants I will grant you what you have desired for years.”
“Very well,” Loki agreed, looking at his brother with a genuine smile not shared since before Thor’s near-coronation so long ago, “I expect you to visit, despite your preoccupation with the world you seem to cherish so greatly.”
“I will,” Loki promised. He had no intentions of treading his former dark path once again. Not only would Luna kill him more likely than not, he would have to deal with their future daughter and her insanity once again.
The two separated and a silence fell between them. Loki knew he would need to speak to their mother about this, but she would not bind Thor and keep him from being with Jane if that was what made Thor happy.
Before the two could silently go their own ways Loki called out to his brother just as Thor turned to leave.
“Thor.”
The sadness in Thor’s voice brought concern instantly to his mind, so he turned back to face Loki with that concern.
With his brother’s attention, Loki closed his eyes and looked down to the floor, “You do know that you will outlive her by entire millennia? Right?”
Thor could see that Loki was worried for him and his feelings, but he decided to laugh it off. They had enough to be grim about without factoring in the sadness related to time.
“Perhaps we should look into a remedy for age. Mother is growing quite adept at finding cures to all sorts of things these days.”
With that the brothers departed, Loki returning to his room in silence and Thor leaving to go see how the recovering Jane was. She had nearly died from having the Aether inside her, and even a day later she was still recovering from it in the infirmary.
When Trixie slipped away earlier she had traveled to the medical ward. She had gone expecting to find her companion/student/friend thing there, and Trixie had hoped to talk with him more to discover just what it was like to have normal relationships with others.
Of course, as if she had known there was to be something concerning friendship, Twilight had arrived early and was already sitting beside the table Kael’Thas was resting on. The foreign prince of High Elves appeared quite exasperated until his eyes caught sight of Trixie entering the room, at which point he became more focused while still maintaining conversation with Twilight.
“So, you’re an Elf too?” Twilight asked him, referencing the fact that she had just been fighting against Elves yet this one was said to be an ally.
The medical staff had been giving minimal treatment to Kael given that each and every one of them had been murdered the day before by the Dark Elves, only to be revived by some unknown force later on. They held a grudge as much as they did not want to, even with the knowledge that he was not one of the invading forces.
“Not one of the ones who assaulted this place, but I am an Elf. Some might call us Eldar, but my people are called the High Elves,” Kael grumbled, far less jovial than he would be under other circumstances. His ribs were shattered and he had been in agony all night, only now receiving aid at all.
Twilight loved learning, and so talking to this exotic being was making her ears perk up, “Are there other Elves where you are from?”
Kael was surprised that Twilight had not even noticed Trixie’s arrival, his eyes tracked on Trixie as he lay lazily with one hand propping his head up. His glowing green eyes warmly met Trixie’s purple ones, “Yes, in fact—”
Trixie cleared her throat from behind Twilight, the princess turning to see Trixie looking anything but amused. Trixie had a thick purple dress fashioned in her usual purple that covered her entire body below the neck and except for her limbs and tail. This difference in appearance caught Twilight’s interest instantly.
After gaining Twilight’s attention, Trixie spoke to Kael specifically, “Kael, could you do me a favor and bring me books on magical integration and separation? The libraries here are not suited for one of my being.”
He moved to get up but faced difficulty when his damaged chest pained him. Trixie noticed this and used a beam of energy to heal his afflicted area, doing in seconds what would have taken the medical staff hours to accomplish.
Now able to rise, Kael stood up and bowed to Trixie, “Of course, milady.”
He walked past the two mares and out the door with a bit more speed than one might expect. Trixie watched as he left with a smile, glad to have helped him and also happy about saving him from Twilight.
Her fellow student’s smile caused Twilight to grow a coy smile of her own, “Jealous he’s talking to other mares?”
Trixie’s face flushed red as she thought of Twilight’s claim the day prior that she was to marry Kael. The idea caused some revulsion in Trixie as her mind tried picturing how that might even work before branching out to considering how Luna and Loki made it work.
Trixie tried not to blanch at the thought, instead putting on as composed a face as she could manage with her eyes closed, “Of course not. You read too many romance novels, Twilight. He is my companion now and nothing more.”
“Fine, fine,” Twilight grumbled, “That ruins that shipfic…”
“What was that?”
Twilight realized her error in saying that aloud, “Nothing!” Trixie glared at her carefully as Twilight thought of a way to deflect the subject and her folly, “Hehe, so, let’s talk about those books. Magical integration and separation sound interesting!”
When Loki returned to his room he had chosen to just lay back down, Luna pulling him into an embrace that lasted for hours. She had not heard everything from outside, but she had heard enough to have a general idea about what the situation was.
Odin was dead, but she wanted to hear Loki say it. He hadn’t told her last night despite how important this was, but she was not going to force him. She may have pressed him despite how uncomfortable he would be a little time ago, but she was feeling much more cheerful now that he was back.
On the other hand, she felt weaker than she had previously, though she passed this off as a side effect of her pregnancy. The pregnancy that helped snatch her thoughts away from the dark subject waited for the two of them like a proverbial elephant in the room.
After his complete silence and lack of any form of interaction for what must have been a quarter of the day, Luna felt her patience beginning to wane. Even still, she tread the topic lightly, “Loki, you cannot be quiet forever.”
Loki let his face fall to the side instead of continuing its stare upwards. Luna’s face was soft with the empathy she was displaying towards him, her heart hurting because of how she was worried for him.
Loki brought a hand to Luna’s cheek so he could stroke it and show that he was grateful, “Forgive me. I am used to the company of a mute and no other currently. Normal interaction will take a few days for me to acclimate to…”
His voice trailed off as tears streaked down his face, his eyes having been holding back water for hours. Despite his lack of admission to Odin’s death, Luna knew that she needed to say something.
“Oh Loki…” she pulled him closer to kiss his face, “Your father has passed…Loki, you should have told me.”
Loki’s grief came out fully as he let himself fall victim to his own repressed emotions, “He died saving us. He died because I was too arrogant and considered the pseudo Loki finished. I underestimated their weapons—”
Luna forced him to stop his self-degradation by pulling him into a kiss, which Loki hungrily returned because of his of time away. When they finally pulled apart to breath Luna was the one to speak first, her voice worried and concerned.
“Listen Loki, this isn’t your fault. It’s the fault of that homicidal bastard who invaded this place. You deserve none of the blame for this.”
“I—” he once again was cut off by Luna, though this time it was by her speaking over him.
“Loki, you are a prince, but not even you can hold the entirety of this world and every other on your shoulders. Believe me, if this was your fault I would let you know. You didn’t kill your father, but you need to do something for your kingdom now that he is gone.”
Loki closed his eyes and leaned forward to touch foreheads with her, “Thor does not want the crown.”
That instantly helped change Luna’s mood. So Loki was to be king in Thor’s place? That would make her queen of Asgard…Luna only wished it did not take the brutal death of her father-in-law to get here. Still, she would not let this good news of sorts go to waste. She could grieve on Loki’s behalf later, “So it appears I will be moving here after all.”
“I…” Loki’s words failed him as he tried to think about his own life, what he had done these recent years, and what that meant concerning his new title of King, “I do not know if I am fit to rule Asgard.”
“Love, you are a genius manipulator with just enough morals to do the right thing and the right lack of them to do what is needed. I think you’ll be just fine,” Luna noted with a small laugh, her body curling into Loki’s so that her stomach was up against his side. Having what she assumed to be twins might not be ideal given sibling rivalry, but that whole matter was screwed the moment Trixie came into the equation. Seeing Sleep Near’s interaction with his sister actually made Luna a little happy, since despite her obvious issues she listened to him.
He was so tall too…Luna felt proud that her children would be fine, or at least as fine as they could be, given that she took quite the beating from Algrim. She was happy that their intervention in the end saved their own lives in some ways.
While on the subject of height, Luna noticed something. She was coming up to Loki’s eyebrow instead of him being slightly shorter than her. She stretched her body out to see if there was any change. Their feet were at about the same point, but she remained shorter than him.
Luna put on a pouting face as she realized this fact, “Why are you taller than me now? I liked being the taller one.”
Loki looked down at her and noticed the same thing. Upon observing her some more, an idea crossed his mind about what may have caused this.
“Transform.”
Luna bit her lip, “Should I, given my…condition?”
Loki shrugged, not sure but also not too worried, “I have a feeling your body has a way of compensating, given that you are still gravid despite how many times you must have transformed in recent months.”
“Point taken…” Luna sighed and closed her eyes as she channeled her magic, “Still, I think I should choose one to prevent complications later.”
“Of course. Now go on. I need to see if my theory is correct.”
In a flash, Luna became her Alicorn form once again. However, this time it was a form that Loki had not seen for quite some time. He smiled as he observed the fur that now brushed against him.
“Blue. It has been some time since I last saw that fur color on you.”
Luna blinked blankly in confusion, “Wait…” looking down to observe herself, Luna realized that she was no longer Nightmare Moon, “So the reason I feel weak is not because I am with foal, but because I actually lost my Nightmare energies?”
Loki nodded, “It seems the Aether took them with it when it left after its brief stay in your system.”
Luna transformed back in a puff of blue smoke before pumping both hands into the air and smiling more than she had in months, “Haha, I’m not going to be a cold and ruthless bitch anymore!”
Loki snickered before Luna realized what she just said and turned to him with a warning glare, “Do not dare say anything on that subject. I have hormones to put you through the wall.”
“But not the speed,” Loki joked while using said newfound super speed to make Luna blush.
“I also miss being the stronger one of us. Care to swap?” Luna pouted again, not liking that while she was now weaker and left with a feeling of craving for her lost power, Loki was instead at the top of his game.
Loki brought his hand down her stomach before, “Fortunately you will not need your powers for some time, so this decrease will prove no issue.”
“It’s the principle of being weaker though…”
He raised his hand to her forearm, clenching it softly to make a show out of her muscle there, “You likely still are more physically powerful than me.”
As Loki’s hand left her stomach a growl escaped it. Luna had not eaten in awhile, and given that she was eating for three she undoubtedly was going to have to eat something.
To pay him back for his lighthearted ribbing of her, Luna poked him in the chest and grumbled, “Shut up and bring me food.”
“You are not quite at that point where you cannot get up easily, love—”
Luna stuck her tongue out like a child before leaning her head down on his chest, “Less complaining, more raiding thy dining hall. I am not to use my powers, remember? And who knows what effects teleportation has on—”
Loki threw his hands up in defeat. If it would get her to stop whining, he would do it, “Fine, fine.”
As Loki began to rise, Luna grabbed his wrist. He turned back with a curious look as Luna called for him to stop.
“Loki?”
He paused, letting her speak her mind.
She blushed as she smiled up at him, “I love you.”
That again rose his curiosity, “Why?”
Loki learned at that moment that pregnant female hormones were not something to mess with, for she gave him a look of fury, “Because I damn well feel like it. Be happy that you captivated me to the appropriate level before you went evil again, or else you would be in the ground and a forgotten memory.”
Loki just nodded, not saying anything as he thought about her words.
“And you?” she prodded.
He was unsure as to what she meant so he inquired, “What?”
Her pouting face returned as she loosened her grip on him, “You do love me, right?”
“Of course,” Loki bent down to kiss her before rising back up, “You kept me from falling deeper into the despair that had overtaken me when I arrived on your world. You are an intelligent, powerful woman who is willing to put up with the various wrongdoings I am prone to commit. I would not just lay with any equine, I would have you know.”
Luna felt her heart flutter at his words more than the kiss, though something remained on her mind, “None of that evil nonsense anymore though, remember. I propose a reciprocal vow of purity.”
His lip curled up in amusement, “Complete purity?”
Luna scrunched her blue eyebrow in confusion, “I do not understand.”
Loki brought a hand to her inner thigh, telling Luna exactly what he meant while also making her realize just how much she had been missing him.
“Oh,” Luna blushed fiercely, “No, just purity of the morality kind. This is fine, however.”
“I thought you wanted food,” Loki joked.
“Can I have both?” Luna asked in a more serious manner.
Her question made Loki falter momentarily, his expression changing to one of complete confusion, “At the same time?”
Luna licked her lips at the idea before bringing a hand down to her clothed chest and running a hand down it, “You can partake in doing so as well. I have heard many a disturbing tale of a pink pony who has a fridge full of whipped cream for this kind of occasion. It does not seem unheard of amongst mortals.”
Loki snickered and shook his head as he began to get up again, “The things I do for love…”
“Don’t pretend you don’t like it.”
As Loki began to cross the room and head to the exit, Luna used her magic to try and fix the door a little. Using her magic made her think back to her recent usage of it to transform, as well as the worry about her son and daughter…which brought another idea to her mind, granted she had no idea what form they would be born into.
“Wait Loki, I have one last idea.”
Loki wished she would make up her mind, but he turned back to see what she was doing. By the time he turned around he was met with the sight of an Asgardian woman with light blue fur over her body. Her hair was completely ethereal like her Alicorn form, and she had many features that could be considered entirely Asgardian.
Luna smirked as Loki observed her new form, “A blend of my two bodies. Embracing some of the…qualities that will prove beneficial from my normal body, and retaining the very useful fingers you Asgardians possess.”
“I believe there is a Midgardian word for this…anthropomorphism I think?”
“Less archaic words, more whipped cream.”
Some time later, Trixie found herself at a dead end in one text she was learning from and decided to seek out Luna’s counsel. She came back to Loki’s room through teleportation, her face looking down at her book as she entered.
“Mother, I have some questions concerning some texts I—”
As she had spoken, Trixie had gradually looked up to the bed in the room. The sight waiting for her there caused Trixie to fall over and pass out instantly.
Seeing the equine collapse on the ground in her little purple outfit made Loki groan, “I think you killed her.”
Luna looked around the man on top of her to see the passed out Trixie before shrugging, “She’s been through worse.”
It was at that point that Luna realized that Trixie had not teleported alone, and that a certain Elf was trying to cover his eyes as he searched the ground for Trixie, “Kael, would you be kind enough to bring her to a guest room and not just fumble around there like a fool?”
The Elven prince nodded but said nothing before grabbing Trixie and teleporting out of the room, leaving Loki and Luna in privacy once more.
This done, Luna looked down at her own blue body and the various pieces of food she had on it.
“Where did we leave off? Fourth course?”
Traumatize that tricky Trixie, to tell the tale that thousands think thrilling.
Hahahah
Welcome to the nope train!
Oh Luna.
And at the end, it proves Trixie is their daughter if they were able to embarrass her and her love interest by having weird sex.
Oh my God, that ending was perfect.
Welp, you promised fluff and we got fluff. A bit of sadness, but 99% fluff. Also even more anthropomorphed [totally a word.] Luna is brilliant.
Huzza all that stuff escalated quickly and deescalated even quicker.
Loki gets to be king Luna queen and Trixie by adoption a princess the only thing missing are her wings. And Twilight writing shipfics about her friends is adorably creepy. Also im interested to see wher Trixies and Kaels relationship goes with how he just got better from being a double dead mindless wretched thing who just starts to remeber what he was before that whole mess but now everyone should have a vacation before the whole coronation stuff happens and on a sidenote when will Luna and Loki finally marry officially with a giant overblown ceremony with everyone invited?
Well, that was much calmer then the last few chapters
I lost it here oh I also lost it here
This fluffiness was well received by me and made me laugh a fair bit.
Fair to say this chapter is one of my favourites of late, especially given what I messaged you about....
If I could relike this and re favourite it. I would, Thankyou. Also well done on the very last part of this chapter
Keep it up and I am really looking forwards to reading the rest of this fic, no matter what you have planned for it
5250710
Are you Mr. T?
5250710 Hehe, good job?
5250733 Hard to say nope when you fall unconscious
5250816 Luna just is having some interesting cravings
And Trixie also has a complete aversion to sex, so she got doubly hit by the sight she was met with. And I don’t think it would have had to be “weird” to get that reaction from her and Kael
I think Trixie will never eat certain things ever again.
5251202 What did you like so much about the ending?
The fluff is strong in this one. Gotta have some nice fluff after all the angst. Luna, Loki, and Trixie deserve it Kael maybe doesn’t deserve it in this story per say, but he kind of does on a more cosmic and universal level, so I guess he deserves a little rest too.
In Twilight’s mind, he’s probably resting WITH a certain magician…
And anthro Luna is best Luna. All the utility of a humanoid form, and all the parts of a horse for what she needs.
5251203 Things certainly went in an…interesting direction
Loki shall be king and Luna queen, whereas Trixie will be a double princess. And nothing’s missing for Trixie, she’s just fine as she is
Outside of being unconscious and on the floor and all, but she’s fine outside of that.
Twilight’s shipfic writing was something I have wanted to do for awhile, but she hasn’t been close enough to the main cast for it to really come up Trixie x Kael now is one of Twilight’s OTPs, even though she doesn’t have a clue about who Kael is. She just thinks it is cute after seeing them together
Trixie and Kael are going to be going steady because Trixie has no idea what friendship really is like and Kael…is just happy to be here. He’s getting better on the whole sanity and memory thing, but it seems like he has a ways to go. If Trixie married him though it would be hilarious because she would have gone from street rat to double princess and queen Too bad she won’t be able to have an heir without passing out
There is going to be a big ceremony mixed with a wedding. It should be in the near future, but I don’t exactly know the precise point since I need to look up certain things to make it all go right…
5251265 Much calmer, just as planned
5251456 Twilight now writes Trixie X Kael’Thas as her OTP They shall be shipped, whether they want to be or not I can imagine the blue/silver haired Blood Elves with purple glowing eyes now
And Luna isn’t exactly lying when she says Loki’s lucky
I’m glad you liked the fluff and were able to laugh throughout it all. I actually tried to have some fun with this chapter in that way, since we all needed some laughs and fluff.
Glad it was one of your favorites, as there are some in the same vein that are coming up for us. Nice places to cooldown from all the stuff going on.
I wish you could favorite it and like it again, though to do that you’d need to make a duplicate account Glad you enjoy it so much, and I hope you continue to do so in our last 2 arcs and their 20 or so chapters
Also, the ending was just too perfect an opportunity to let up when I realized where this chapter was going. Trixie suffered a little, as did Kael, but I think it was worth it for all of us.
5251790 Truth.
5251573 Nah, name's Nick, Nikki, Nicole, n' Nate.
5251795 If she married Kael she could be a 3xqueen and 1xprincess (unless she lets herself be crowned as the queen of Equestria but that is unlikely)
First Asgard due to being Lunas and Lokis daughter then equestria due to Luna, Jotunheim due to Loki and Quel'Thalas because Kael was by definition the last King of the High/Blood Elves even if he never officially accepted that title.
Oh and i noticed you called the Dark Elves Night Elves somewhere and that's wrong mostly because night != dark. Also they would look quite different from Kael and the only way one could mistake him for one of them is when he was wearing the full armor.
5251795
Umm, I know I probably should already known this, but when people are saying that Trixie is (going to be) double princess…do they mean princess of Equestria and princess of Asgard, princess of Asgard and princess of Jotunheim or princess of Equestria and princess of Jotunheim?
Urgh, so many princesses…
Edit: Anyway that should make for one interesting interaction with Blueblood.
5251876 Yes, she could end up a 3xqueen, but in all reality it would most likely be 3xprincess and 1xqueen since she has competition with Loki and Luna’s biological children for the other thrones (something Loki and Luna had been hoping to prevent). Jotunheim is not exactly under their control, but that’s not to say it never will be.
And while Hela won’t exactly be the sort who would/be able to lead a nation, Sleep Near seems to be the responsible one of the two and likely is a worthy heir.
So yes, Trixie has a lot of ruling potential of a variety of races and cultures. She’s come a long way, and is growing stronger every day This all hinges on her actually being in a relationship with Kael, which she seems unwilling to either entertain the idea of or is just denying whatever infatuation she might have.
The subject matter of Kael’s crowning is open to debate given how vague the matter is in canon, but I think of it like Vegeta in Dragonball Z: his race fell and his lineage destroyed before he was ever crowned king, so he continues to affirm that he is only a prince out of a state of mind that sticks him in the past glory without affirming the current reality.
And I fucked up with the Night Elves thing because I was thinking “Don’t mix them up, don’t mix them up, don’t mix them up” and through doing so mixed them up. Too many damn elves. High Elves, Blood Elves (which Kael is interestingly not calling them), Night Elves, Dark Elves…hell, I semi-referenced this fact in the chapter itself by referring to a name Tolkien gave Elves: Eldar. Games Workshop took that one, but I thought it would be fun to throw in.
New headcanon: Eldar from Warhammer 40K were created through Kael’Thas and Trixie. They have her ego and his looks They also have his tendency to try and do anything at all to save their race, even at the cost of other races.
5251890 Trixie actually is going to be triple princess in technicality, but one of her possible thrones is not viable given it is the antagonistic Jotunheim. However, she is technically princess to Equestria, Asgard, and Jotunheim. We’re even joking now she could be a queen on top of it all if she pushes the whole Kael’Thas angle, since he is unwed and a prince to boot. Granted, he is disgraced amongst his people (not that he’d likely remember that fact), but this is all theoretical fun we’re having seeing just how intertwined these royal families are becoming
I know, so many princesses. At least it’s basically all concentrated on the same characters (as in Trixie can be royalty in 4 nations, rather than there being 1 princess for each of the nations). Lots of overlap in that regard!
Oh, and she’s gonna have a fun chat with Blueblood. Imagine how it will go down and how she’ll tear him apart!
5251792
Inddeed
True, it was her parents after all when it happened.
Does it include a pineapple?
5251795 The Great and Mighty Pregnant Princess Trixie demands more pickles!
5252109 She's lucky she can have Loki as desert
Nah, it more has to do with how this Trixie is asexual It all scares and makes her wanna gag.
No pineapples, as they are not likely to have those in Asgard. More likely some food that can be applied over ones body in some manner...
5252111 The Great and Gravid Trixie!
The Great and Massive Trixie!
The Gravid and Procreating Trixie!
But seriously though, my random headcanon where Trixie and Kael create the Eldar race (given its penchant for being A) Egotistical, B) over the top, and C) Elves), they had best get working. At least Blood Elves live a long time, so their timetable is huge

"What did you like so much about the ending?"?!
Well, I dunno about Kael, but I definitely agree the other three deserve it. They've all been through hell. So we all needed this, to ease our worries for our favorite characters, too!
With how much Twilight likes her solitude, I'm guessing she's had more than a few books with rather graphic contents just for her personal time. And knowing her, she probably thinks that's how things works so in her mind, it may just be more than sleeping.
"Parts of a horse for what she needs."
Whatever those parts are, I'm sure Loki enjoys them a lot.
5252473 It was quite the magnificent ending in my opinion Poor Trixie had to take a little trauma for it, but it's fine Worth it for how much people seem to enjoy the ending.
Kael has caused a lot of trouble here, but it's hard to blame him for that when he's just another one of Hela's victims As for the others, Loki and Trixie literally went through Hel to get to this point. They've certainly earned a rest.
I wouldn't put it past the easily flustered Alicorn bookworm to have some smutty stuff hidden in her room. Probably in a place out of Spike's reach. But we must hope that it's not stuff she wrote for herself, because then it'd border on extremely creepy since she writes shipfics for her friends
Loki enjoys all of Luna

Eh, every good comedy comes at someone expense It's not as funny if it isn't.
Yeah, that's gotta be exhausting >~>
Heck, Trixie was unconscious for half the time but Loki had it worse.
It really would But I bet half her collection is self-written stuff, if not more. Just for her perverse entertainment
Oh everyone knows that by now
5252252 Yes on all accounts and pineapple rings.
5252269 Haha!
5250710 Good one!
5252619 No idea what those are
5252614 Good ol' Trixie can take a beating at least. Kael knows that best, having grabbed her and taken her breathe away in the past. See? Even now jokes shall be had at Trixie's expense
Trixie was unconscious but receiving visits in her dreams from Hela. So arguably she had it worse than Loki at first, since he at least had slight control of his life at the time, but in the end he suffered more. Time goes weirdly in her world, flowing forwards and backwards, so Loki ended up being there for years before he finally got his chance to escape. He's earned his rest
Trixie made fun of Twilight's idea of how romance is instant (referencing Equestria Girls), so I doubt Twilight's that good a sappy writer. If she turns out to be a good writer though, it would be hilarious to think that Twilight is writing this same story in-universe, albeit with the pieces she knows. As Trixie said recently, "No. Bad Twilight".
Even Trixie knows. Especially Trixie.
5252803
Jokes at Trixie's expense shall always be had. Always.
Just how many years? Because I can't imagine having to survive two months in that place, so if the Universe were to cut the crap and grant Loki and his family a lifetime of no shit hitting the fan, it'll be a start to making up for it
Hey, she may be a good writer. You never know Literature seems to be her thing, creating it could be included in that.
You know what, now I want Trixie to stumble upon on of Twilight's works, especially the ones relating to Trixie.
Poor, scarred Trixie
Now, I'm open-minded as all hell. I'm willing to try shit, but I will not eat food off of someone's body, no matter how juicy a steak it is.
That being said, I'd like the first ticket aboard the Nope train to Fuckthatville.
Things are starting to get back to normal, rather quickly it would seem. A nice reconciliation between the two brothers, at least that part of the family issues is dealt with. Loki finally has his throne, a bitter sweet victory seeing as how he had to loose a lot to get it. A pregnant Luna, Loki goes form kind of hell and into a bother. Not sure which one is worse. She already has a craving for foods as well as things getting frisky in bed, at least they are willing to try new things much to the horror of one adopted daughter. Trixie is already traumatized for life, she will probably repress the memory until one day she wakes up screaming. Maybe her new elf friend/student will be there to hug the bad memories away.
Great chapter as always.
5253247 Thor and Loki are cool for the time being. Hopefully things continue to be that way, not taking a turn for the worst like Celestia and Luna's relationship did before kind of coming back to a good place.
Loki is going to also have to handle ruling Asgard, which may or may not be as forgiving as his loved ones.
Pregnant Luna is entirely preferable to having to deal with their moody daughter and her world of pain and suffering She did not have a craving per say this chapter, just the realization she had not eaten in a large period of time and that she could now make Loki go get her food for her. And that, with him back, she could resume her activities with him...while also eating.
Yeah, Trixie is probably a bit traumatized, but I think she'll get over it. She passed out very quickly after all, and likely did not actually see anything too graphic: most likely, she saw what WAS happening and passed out instantaneously. In either case though, Kael'Thas will be there to hug her like a stuffed animal.
5253030 Why'd you be buying a ticket there?
5252888 Trixie shall require comfort. Kael'Thas will be there for that. Lots of hugs and snuggles for the poor and traumatized Trixie Maybe they can work out her issues by playing out what she saw to confront the root of the issue?
Years. It's kind of hard for Loki to know how long he was there, but it was most definitely awhile. The place doesn't exactly have a calendar. And while I cannot promise a lifetime supply of things going right right away, I can promise that I like happy endings.
She may be a good writer. She'd have to be to write this story in her own universe
Trixie will need much comforting from Kael'Thas now, though that would feed into Twilight's fantasies even more Poor, scarred Trixie won't know what to do when the person she seeks for comfort (other than her sex crazy mother) is half of why she is scarred. Perhaps, on the other hand, Twilight's stories will help Trixie become desensitized to the issue and actually give her ideas...
Was that the last enemy to be defeated? Or do you have plans of making this a lot longer?
5253436 Thanos is still around. We've got an arc focusing on the final boss coming up
5253457 I must've forgotten about him.
5252777 Pineapples cut into rings.
5253679 Still don't think Asgard has pineapples
5253504 It's okay He's been kind of a looming threat, but at the same time he was here just like 3 chapters ago...
5253696 You don't think Loki won't run out and get it for Luna if she asked?
5253784 I think he'd just cut to the chase, and I doubt Luna's the pineapple type. Pineapples can be annoying and hurt, and she wouldn't want to deal with that. Enough annoys her as it is
5253792 True
5251798 Good work trixie, you took one for the team
