Summary
Loki dies on Svartalfheim. Then he wakes up. It does not take long before Hela seizes the opportunity to offer Loki a deal: end Thanos's life in exchange for his own. Loki knows defeating Thanos will be no easy feat and so a conversation with the Norns becomes part of the bargain.
The Norns tell him three things:
1. His only path to success lies in utilising the Infinity Stones
2. The Infinity Stone contained within the Tesseract – the only stone he will ever wield – will not be enough on its own
3. The name of a potential ally who has the highest capacity to both wield another one of the Infinity Stones and collaborate alongside himAnd that name... That name is Tony Stark.
***
Alternatively, the one where Loki and Tony try to build a time machine.

Bookmarker's Notes
Bloody perfect is what it is. Characters, relationships, plot… It’s not a smooth sailing, and the stakes are high when they have to be, but it all works out in the end.
___
That’s just perfect.
It has been an incredible journey, and I feel like I am forever spoiled, haha. Author raised the bar incredibly high with well-thought plot and realistic characters and relationships. This burn is slower than glacier, and while that’s true, that’s what makes it feel so real. The pacing of the story is impeccable to me, and I enjoyed picking up on all the carefully placed hints author left throughout it.
The imagery and world building is exquisite, I have a list of illustrations I want to work on for this.
Honestly, this is one of, if not *the*, best stories I have read for the pairing, and it doesn’t leave me with any sad feelings at all — because there are so many possibilities for their story to continue, and not everything needs to be spelled out.
