Summary
“We’re just up by Free Heap,” says Varga, hefting the Stormbird talon. “I can work on this out here, but it might be more comfortable over there.”
Aloy wipes the sweat off her brow; Varga swears electricity clings to her, that she can almost hear crackling in the desert air. Leftover from the Stormbird, maybe. Aloy’s hair looks like fire when it’s framed by the sunset.
“And I think we could both use a real rest,” agrees Aloy.

Midsomar with the Odinsons by Bottan

Summary
“I badly misjudged that thing with Jötunheim,” Thor mumbled.
Loki laughed heartily at that. It had gotten them both disinherited and had earned Loki a couple decades in the royal dungeons. “You think?”
***
The royal feast Odin is throwing is going sideways so fast and in such spectacular fashion that it might as well be a mudslide. Loki might be the only one having a fantastic time.Or: the royal family is basically starring in a telenovela and here is all the drama that comes with being part of any pantheon.

Randvi might have felt more exposed, or uncomfortable, in that moment, had Eivor not offered her that quiet song in the night: Here, I am as bare as you.
(Now and again, Eivor sings.)

lift your spirit, set it free by EclectusBreakfast for Morgan_billy
Fandoms: Horizon (Video Games)

Summary
Spare your pity and let me die.
Kotallo refuses to meet their eyes, utterly humiliated. Two large hands gently rest on his cheeks where the cruel device digs into his skin and tilt his face up from the ground.
"C'mere, big guy. Let's take a look at you."
He'd offer a half-hearted smirk if they could see past the metal mask still affixed tight to his face. Perhaps the word 'muzzle' is more appropriate, much as it makes him seethe: a leftover invention of eastern colonists who feared blood-drinking barbarians breaking their chains and cannibalizing innocents.
Those in the West may see him an impotent, broken man; in the East, they see a monster.
____________________
Kotallo comforts each of his squad: Alva injured in battle, Erend sick and stubborn, Zo needing support, and Aloy and Beta struggling to find connection. He swore on his life to give them whatever he has left.
And when he needs them most, his squad returns the favor. Whether he feels he deserves it or not.

Summary
“It’s me, brother.” Loki crosses the room to where Thor sits on the edge of his too-wide bed. He crouches before Thor, looking up into his face—and oh, the pleading look, the expressive arch of his brows, it could be real. It could almost be real. “I’m here,” he insists.
Thor lets his gaze drop. “Do you know how many times I’ve dreamed you saying that?”
Loki's alive. Thor might need a little persuading before he believes that.

Summary
Every saga comes to an end. The last runesign carved, the final silver-tongued phrase spoken, the closing breath let out from victorious lungs as a hero's story closes.
But those sagas do not always finish with high glory and soaring, glittering death. Sometimes the end is quiet, a contented sigh or the whisper of a loving touch brushing across very, very tired shoulders.
Sometimes our heroes live for a while yet—afterwards.

Summary
“Vili… You know that… that this was a momentary heat. Just a flickering flame…”
Vili understood why Eivor had said it. Something more between them would have never worked; Vili was to become jarl and lead his clan while Eivor was to continue scouting England for new alliances. Eivor had known they would be apart more often than not and wished to avoid putting them through that. That was why he said those words, Vili told himself repeatedly, afraid to imagine any other reason why he would have kept them from becoming anything more than dear friends. He understood why Eivor had done so, but that never made the memory hurt any less.
