    Summary

    Marlis has existed since the universe learned how to breathe.
    She has watched gods rise and fall, knowing power rarely comes without ruin.
    Loki was raised in comparison, disappointment, and lies.
    Forever standing beside a brother who shone brighter, he learned to become something sharper instead.
    Trust was never a luxury he could afford.
    Love even less.
    Marlis was never meant to change him.
    Yet with her, he is seen without expectation.
    And in that quiet understanding, Loki discovers something dangerous —
    the possibility of being loved, and loving in return.

    Returning readers may recognize Marlis from my previous work.
    Love me some Marlis — always. 💕

    Disclaimer:
    This story is based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
    Marlis is my original character, and her presence naturally alters certain events and timelines.
    While inspired by canon, this is my own interpretation and narrative.
