    Summary

    Loki was many things, but one of his little-known habits was his curiosity, or rather the fact that he acted on it without necessarily thinking about the consequences. Well, it was more that he did not care, to be honest. Loki is a scientist at heart, he likes to test things, so what could be better for a magical being like him than to have the Tesseract? Of course, he was going to experiment with it, what was Thor thinking?
    Oh, yes... Thor did not know. It did not matter though. It was a detail.
    Except when said detail led him to a Thor with TWO natural eyes, an adoptive father conveniently falling into a magical coma to let him deal with the shitty foreign policy – with an impending war, had he forgotten? – and a still-living mother who had always been too perceptive for her own good. Bloody witches.
    What's more?
    Oh, yeah, a biological father he apparently had not killed with his own hands yet.
    ...wonderful day in sight.

    Summary

    “How do you do it? Control it, make it do whatcha want, stop it from taking over you and control you, keep it from going all…bleh.”

    “Bleh?”

    “You know what I mean.”

    He snickered, shaking his head, but the smile slipped from his lips as they settled into a neutral line. He leaned on his cane to look up at the sky.

    “I don’t. I mean, not really. People think it’s this majestic, all knowing force, but it’s a lot more like a child, always watching, always learning. When it connects with us, it tunes into every fiber of our being. It doesn’t know anything at first, we shape it with our every thought, our every use, every action. We’re its compass, moral or otherwise. You know what they say, what goes around comes around, that’s very literal here. I just…learned that a lot sooner than others do. They take from the world, so it learns to take. I give of myself, and only myself, so it gives in return…"

    He glanced down at his hands, examining them carefully as they glowed faintly in the moonlight.

    "...at least, that’s what I tell myself. That’s what I hope is the truth.”

    -

    Or, what might've happened if Viktor's path with the arcane looked a little different.

    Summary

    “I’ll… I'll get you some food,” Jayce said slowly after a moment. “I… it’s really good to see you awake, Viktor.”

    I don’t understand, thought Viktor as he gazed at Jayce’s completely open face. How could you feel that way? After everything I've done?

    (Jayce and Viktor don't disintegrate when they destroy Viktor's army. Viktor learns what it means to be taken by the hand and dragged into the light, whether he likes it or not.)

    Summary

    Set in an alternate universe where the Throughput Multiplier worked.

    The timelines seem to have calmed down. The TVA is set to rebuild and adjust their strategy to maintain peace. Meanwhile, Loki has time to think, and his attention keeps getting drawn back to Mobius, who has developed a new tendency to overwork and isolate himself.

    When they follow a lead on a dangerous new variant that could upset the timelines once more, they discover an Infinity Stone is being abused for its power, and Loki’s worst nightmare is realised.

    One slip can lead to the downfall of a good and kind soul.
