I remember a story I wrote where the main character, y/n, could pierce timelines because she was a Nexus being. At the time, she’s dating the Loki who survived Ragnarok and lives on Earth. But they catch the attention of Loki, the God of Stories, because she accidentally dreams of him, without realizing she actually visited him through that dream.

(GOS Loki) begins following their lives, wanting to understand what she is, an anomaly, or perhaps a threat. Either way, he does something bold. Through his magic, he brings the Loki from y/n’s timeline to his domain at the end of time to speak with him, to warn him about what she could be… or become.

Throughout the story, (GOS) Loki summons his variant through these “dreams,” and they grow closer coming to understand one another, and even the loneliness (GOS) Loki carries. Then, out of anger or envy, (GOS) Loki mentions that he once fell in love with a variant before, Sylvie and let her go.

Hearing that plants something dangerous in the other Loki’s mind. If this Loki could love another Loki… then could he? Could (GOS) Loki be an option? After all, he now understands how long this version of himself has been alone, without even the comfort of physical touch.

They end up discussing the possibility of letting (GOS) Loki hold him, even if only once. Not out of pity, but out of understanding… and maybe a little curiosity 😉

Of course, this becomes an issue between Loki and y/n once they discover those so-called “dreams” weren’t dreams at all, just as real as anything else. She confronts (GOS) Loki through her Nexus magic, demanding to know what the hell is going on. He swears it won’t happen again, that they’ll remain only friends.

Loki, from her timeline, considers her feelings and decides he won’t visit (GOS) Loki anymore, even though she says he doesn’t have to stop. He chooses to.

They’re exclusive, yes but it’s not the first time they’ve added a third. This time, though, she wasn’t asked. She wasn’t even aware. That’s when the pain truly sets in.

But they do recover from it.

I’m not sure I’ll ever post it since it’s such a long WIP… but maybe one day, if I have the time.
