het_bigbang (Sif/Loki)
Warnings: Violence, language, mild sexual content.
Summary: The Bifröst is broken and the roads between the worlds are lost; so, too, is the treacherous king Loki lost. Yet in Sif's dreams a shadow walks, and it wears the face of Loki Odinson. Is she going mad, or does Loki yet live? If he does live, then how is she to find him? Through dreams, through memory, Sif seeks Loki. (76,672 words.)
I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Rawles, who, though she'd her own big bang to write, found time enough to beta read this monster. Without her grammatical know-how and some needed advice re: the ending, this fic would be much the poorer. Thanks are also due in profusion to Phee, one of my favorite artists and an artist whose work always delights, without fail. That she agreed to illustrate this is still astounding to me; at times when I doubted I would ever finish this, I would think of her work and find the motivation to push through.
As well, thanks to those who cheered me on as I worked on the first draft; your support means the world to me. And thank you, reader, for reading. :)

Please note that this work does not draw on the comics at all. I've no interest whatsoever in the Marvel universe's interpretation of Ragnarok, so if you're looking for it here, you won't find it. And on a grammatical note, I've opted to use the word "æsir," which is plural, also in the singular, as the proper singular ("áss") is rather ... unfortunate. My apologies for that particular error.
I think that's about it! If you've any questions, please ask them here. :)
