Summary
“How do you do it? Control it, make it do whatcha want, stop it from taking over you and control you, keep it from going all…bleh.”
“Bleh?”
“You know what I mean.”
He snickered, shaking his head, but the smile slipped from his lips as they settled into a neutral line. He leaned on his cane to look up at the sky.
“I don’t. I mean, not really. People think it’s this majestic, all knowing force, but it’s a lot more like a child, always watching, always learning. When it connects with us, it tunes into every fiber of our being. It doesn’t know anything at first, we shape it with our every thought, our every use, every action. We’re its compass, moral or otherwise. You know what they say, what goes around comes around, that’s very literal here. I just…learned that a lot sooner than others do. They take from the world, so it learns to take. I give of myself, and only myself, so it gives in return…"
He glanced down at his hands, examining them carefully as they glowed faintly in the moonlight.
"...at least, that’s what I tell myself. That’s what I hope is the truth.”

Summary
Loki blinks a few times. This day is just getting odder and odder. “You’re giving me a suite."
“Well, yeah, you’re my guest, what, am I gonna make a guest sleep in a closet or something? I’m a dictator, not an animal,“ the Grandmaster scoffs. “First you think I’m going to kill you, then you think I’m going to defile you, and now you think I’m going to, what, put you in the basement and, and feed you scraps? Is your opinion of everyone this low or are you just—or do I just throw off some kind of—some kind of—"
“Grandmaster,” Loki says, interrupting him from his tangent. “With a history like mine, one learns to be... cautious.”

Summary
Loki was many things, but one of his little-known habits was his curiosity, or rather the fact that he acted on it without necessarily thinking about the consequences. Well, it was more that he did not care, to be honest. Loki is a scientist at heart, he likes to test things, so what could be better for a magical being like him than to have the Tesseract? Of course, he was going to experiment with it, what was Thor thinking?
Oh, yes... Thor did not know. It did not matter though. It was a detail.
Except when said detail led him to a Thor with TWO natural eyes, an adoptive father conveniently falling into a magical coma to let him deal with the shitty foreign policy – with an impending war, had he forgotten? – and a still-living mother who had always been too perceptive for her own good. Bloody witches.
What's more?
Oh, yeah, a biological father he apparently had not killed with his own hands yet.
...wonderful day in sight. -

“How can I help you?” If Nie Huaisang sounded a little curt, he couldn’t help it.
“I wanted to talk to you about that night in Guanyin Temple,” Wen Ning said, but glanced around at the frowning disciples as though unsure he should say anything in front of them.
“You can say it.” This cohort knew most of it anyway.
Wen Ning nodded, and suddenly bowed low. “I wanted to thank you,” he said, “for what you did for my family.”
That had not been expected. The frowns around them deepened.
“On second thought,” Nie Huaisang said warily, “Maybe we should talk in private.”
