haven't the faintest idea. urd and utgard loki?
may 15 | je te dis vous
probably a fic about tamaki and kyouya, which would include the lines: There are, in fact, some things in which Tamaki is an expert. Charm, for instance. Ways to end an awkward silence. Levels of formality, in either of his languages.

short answer: no.
long answer: all the post-series yamino fic i keep writing.
i probably should have stopped with the short answer.
may 16 | we share our mother's health
A biological fact: snakes cannot close their eyes. Jormungandr watches as Fenrir nudges his head against Loki's hand, whining, until Loki laughs and begins to scratch Fenrir behind the ears. The scene is more than familiar, and if Jormungandr thinks about it then he can admit that not much has changed. Even the glass walls are not that new.
In the absence of any sign that Loki misses Yamino, regret would be mere selfishness on Jormungandr's part. So this must be enough, as anything else would be: whether years in cold waters, or bonds too fine to break, or a kingdom of coldness, or only the moon for company. Fenrir probably agrees, even if he would never admit it, which is why he allows Loki to stop stroking his fur -- for now -- and makes only a soft growl of disappointment as Loki rises from his chair and walks away. Loki stops at the terrarium. Jormungandr raises his head in greeting.
Their mother understood this better than anyone else could have: that one can wish for kind words, brief looks, even affection -- but must expect nothing except the wait. Loki traces a meaningless pattern against the glass, loops and swirls that may or may not curl back upon themselves, and when he smiles it is absent rather than sad. Jormungandr is glad for that, at least.
