I like the subtlety of Loki's affection toward Steve and I love your Steve.

Thank you so much! I love when people really enjoy this pairing. Hopefully there will be more in the future!

Lovely. Steve's resignation, Loki's indecision and constant analysing-debating, and his eventual choice of action -- all wonderful.
Also: "If it's all the same to you ... I'll have that breakfast now." ^__^

Thank you so much!

I love love love love love this. ;______________;

Loki/Steve are just so perfect together. I love the characterisation of both, Loki in particular. I love your Loki. <3

Thanks for writing!

Awwww, this was so sweet and lovely and wonderful!

He slips tiredly between the sheets, facing Loki; Loki, in turn, lays down to face Steve. Their features are nearly lost in the darkness, but there’s just enough light that Loki can make out Steve’s eyes and the slope of his nose.

I love how intimate that is. Your Steve/Loki is my favorite. :)
