Thor/Loki, angstkirai_slasherMay 8 2011, 20:40:00 UTC
Instead of Loki committing suicide, Thor caught him and Odin pulled both of them up. In the palace Thor confronts his brother as Odin watches.
When asked why, Loki responds simply, "I hate you." Thor wants to know why, what he did to make his brother hate him so much. I would love it if part of the reason is Loki is jealous of his brother - everyone loves him, he's the hero, the favorite, while everyone in Asgard looks down on Loki, including (so Loki believes) their father.
Bonus points if Loki tells Thor "I'm a frost giant, isn't that enough reason to hate me?" because he gets so frustrated that his brother isn't angry, just /sad/.
The first impulsive, unplanned act of his life was also to be his last; as Loki looked into his father's eye, heard that one word, a disappointed, "No," his hand loosened of its own accord, fingers giving way.
I cannot live, he thought from a cold, rational corner of his mind, that small part of himself that still demanded complete control. It's impossible for one man to feel such shame and live. And that impulse surged through his arm, loosed his hand, and he began to fall away. Just as it must be impossible for one man to feel such hatred and live.Thor surges forward, almost falling himself, and wraps one thick hand around Loki's wrist. And Loki realizes at once, rage like fire in his veins, that it is possible in this single moment to feel even more hatred and still live

"We've spilled our blood on the battlefield so that you can come home to feasts and toasts and cheering while I am lost in your shadow!" Loki spits. "If you stand next to me, it's only so that others notice how tall, how strong, how handsome Thor is in comparison to his runt of a brother!" Runt among giants, and next to Thor, still a runt among the Asgard; the injustice is almost comical

(I wrote the fic bit. ^_^) I kind of wish it was longer too. I'm tempted to add to it, though I think it'd run completely away from the prompt if I did. XD
(I couldn't help but continue a little further... forgive me, OP!)A sound tries to escape Loki's throat, something between a laugh and a sob and the moan of the damned. He catches it with his teeth, jaw clenched so hard that the bones crack. For a moment, his hand finds the back of Thor's neck, the heat of that skin burning as if he's just caught a lick of flame against his fingers. They stand there like that for seems to be an eternity, their breath mixing together; Loki tastes blood, and smoke, and sorrow in the air. Thor's arm tenses to draw him closer, and for an instant, Loki imagines letting go, falling into his brother's arms, as if that will make up for the destruction and the words he cannot force himself to say
( ... )
Thor takes him to the best sorcerers of Asgard so that his magic can be bound. This, at least, is according to plan. The magic users are drained from healing those Loki has injured, from trying to keep destruction and chaos from spreading further. And Loki may not be at his best, but he has always been stronger than these fools and hasn't come even close to draining his own power. So he lets them put their wards on him, twisting the runes just a little here and a little more there when their attention lapses
