Deathfic. Loki doesn't try to talk his way out of the bet.

[anonymous]

Depressed, and of the impression failure means he's going to die anyway (it happened with the wall, why not Sif's hair?) Loki lets the dwarves cut off his head.

Asgard receives a casket with magnificent presents and a headless jotun corpse. Everyone thinks it's the best tribute ever until Thor starts to notice that Frigga won't stop crying and no one can find Loki.

I've got a boat. We can read it together.

Fill: Lost and Never Seen (1/3)

[phoenixfawkes12]

The coffin arrived from Svartálfar with great fanfare. The messengers were dressed in the finest garments and the coffin itself was lined with great jewels and was wrought of the most precious of metals. It was a coffin fit for a king. Other gifts accompanied the arrival, including the promised golden wig for the Lady Sif. Jewels and coin would fill Asgard’s coffers for years from all the tributes. The dwarven messengers bowed low before the Allfather and with soft voices, presented the coffin and its accompanying homage

I don't mean this as insulting but it's terribly unrealistic to lose one's head over a golden weave however pretty it is. Maybe an addition of mojnir like in the original would have served to give the wager a bit more meaning than usual.

Fill: Lost and Never Seen (2/3)

[phoenixfawkes12]

Odin has not moved from his spot as he stares down at the corpse. He raises his one eye and fixes it on the dwarves assembled before him. “Where is the head?” His voice is low and controlled, but the words carry to all corners of the room. All conversations cease and the Aesir shift in place. Something is very, very wrong here.

The dwarf who spoke before shuffles his feet, looking to his companions for advice. None will meet his gaze. “It was the price for his trickery, Allfather. He made a wager and he lost it. He---”

Odin interrupts him with a raised hand. His gaze lifts and encompasses the whole of the hall. “Leave. All of you. This is a matter for my family to deal with.” Feet shuffle as the Aesir exchange looks.

“Out!” screams the Allfather and the show of rage clears the hall in moments. All that are left are the dwarven emissaries and the royal family

Fill: Lost and Never Seen (3/3)

[phoenixfawkes12]

Instead the dwarf reaches into the large saddle bag that hung at his side and gently pulls out the head that matches the corpse in the coffin. The head is covered in black hair and the same raised markings as the body. Crimson irises stare out from unseeing eyes. Yet the face is unmistakably Loki’s.

Frigga wails again and hugs the head to her breast, her sobs echoing in the empty hall. Looking at Odin, tears run from his eye into his beard. Thor feels like he is watching this from a very great distance. Before he is even aware of what he is doing, Mjölnir is flying from his hand and the dwarves are scattering, screaming before the last son of Odin.

When Thor comes back to himself, he is covered in blood and none of the dwarves are alive. He looks down stunned at his hands. He raises his gaze to his father.

“I killed them,” he says.

Odin nods his head. “Good,” he says.

The Aesir are going to regret for calling out their words of hate, Frigga and Odin will not let them get away with it.

*The boat was no match for the sea of angst, now just floating around with a life jacket on.*

*cries*

Re: Fill: Lost and Never Seen (3/3)

[coneycat]

Oh, Odin-- if only you could have acted like that when Loki was alive...

Re: Fill: Lost and Never Seen (3/3)

[purplemoon3]

Does it mean anything that as soon as I read this on AO3 my class was canceled due to Tornado warnings?

As for the Brokk and the dwarf contingent- what did they expect for equating a few shiny trinkets to the life of a Prince? Really? You bet a head, but that doesn't come by it's lonesome.

I'm drowning in the angst.

God this just makes me sick. Gah I'm going to pretend you wrote a sequel where they brought him back!

D: WHYYYYYY.

So heartbreaking. Even the mouth-sewing thing wasn't this cruel ;;
