Small things.
Blake had kept his space as Jim rested. Occasionally he would peak in to see Leonard sleeping in the room, surrounded by the other two, and then he would leave to take care of the rest of sickbay. They were slowly shaking off the injuries from the attack; hopefully everyone would be on their feet by the time they got to the colony ( Read more... ) -

Blake continues his work because, obviously, not everything in this world can be solved by a liberal application of magic. He usually works gamma shift, so that there's less people about. This is for his own thoughts, and for when occasionally Loki visits ( Read more... ) -

Sometimes, Thor doesn't have the heart to tell Loki to go back to Asgard where he belongs, the only place he can lawfully wander. Usually it's after Loki has given him the illusion of being useful, helping him in sickbay or after massaging the ache from his knee (which, Thor reminds himself, is all Loki's doing), but sometimes it's on quiet ( Read more... ) -

The Consequences of Wandering and Sowing (A parable)
He sat with Loki for some time each day - not enough to make up for the centuries of turmoil, or the years of isolation, but enough so that Loki wouldn't flinch back from his touch. "I still hate you," Loki had murmured to his shoulder one evening, "and your hugs will not change that ( Read more... ) -
Immortal and Unaffected
After several centuries of this - whatever this happened to be - even Thor began to see the pattern in their interactions and communications, how it always seemed to end with one of them injured, in bed, or both. Once upon a time, Thor remembered days and nights when they could just talk and indulge in private conversations that held no ulterior ( Read more... ) -
Results.
He was doing this as a favor--a huge favor, in fact, that would be much too generous if Monica hadn’t already gave him so many concessions. Mostly on hours, and strange, days-long disappearances, always willing to take him back whenever he showed up again. He made up for it with the whole staff, not that he had to - he could just smile, and they ( Read more... ) -
((more double-purposed backstory))
2244If Thor times his request to Loki's good mood, he can see his mortal son through one of the scrying orbs his brother keeps. Sometimes, he sees heartwarming scenes between Winona and the boys or between the brothers, but when Winona remarries and Sam and Jim have trouble adjusting, Thor yearns to return to Midgard and catch up on lost time ( Read more... )
