Author's Note

"Keep fighting. Keep breathing and for the Norns' sake keep living.

You deserve to be happy. And I wish that I could be there for you through all of your trials but if this is where we finally part ways then I want to do it with a smile on my face, resting assured with the knowledge that you will grow old with a smile on yours as well."

Death always lurked in the shadows wherever Loki went, but the day it chose to strike was less than convenient for him. Valhalla might be the permanent vacation that every Asgardian dreams of, but Loki left almost as soon as he arrived.

Set on a path with only two outcomes - devastating failure or the satisfaction of success - he'll have to fight for a place to call home before its gone for good.
