You have a tendency to write about all of the Norse characters I like best! I am always fascinated by different views of Loki and his children.
Titles aren't necessary-- it's all up to what the writer prefers. When I started writing drabbles, I never titled anything, but my habits from writing long fanfiction caught up with me.
There is so much that's unexplained and/or contradictory about Loki that I can't resist writing about him.
I have a really hard time with titles for written works. I sort of feel like the words that are already there should speak for themselves. But so far I only write poetry and drabbles.
I know that Loki is not supposed to be the good guy, but he feels like one in here, and I can't help but hurt with him at the pain he feels for his son; I can't help but feel his admiration at his son's strength. You've made him human and very much a sympathetic character - and a father, not just a trickster.
I can almost, from this, forgive him for being the instigator of Ragnarok.
Stop it, you're making me blush! ;) Seriously though, thank you. That's some heady praise.
I kind of feel like there is no "good guy" in the Odin vs Loki conflict. Odin is not a nice man. I also can't help but see it as a love gone sour, but the myth cycle is open to a lot of interpretations about motivation and even time-line from what I've read.
