    Summary

    Loki watches Thor until he comes awake on his own — the lashes of his one eye fluttering open, mouth twitching as his breathing speeds up. A dart of confusion crosses his face as he tries to move his arms from either side of his head, and realizes that he can't.

    “Loki,” Thor says immediately; the only name that could spring to his lips, waking like this. “Loki.”

    Summary

    As she approached the actually rather unremarkable looking young man, she felt a swell of doubt. Was he really who she’d thought he was? Spider-Man had been a giant of a man, someone she could easily imagine at the front of her train, gripping hundreds of webs with power enough to crush the train car into the shape of his body.

    This boy looked barely able to carry his overstuffed backpack. With his Oxford shirt and jeans and neatly combed hair, he could have been the poster child for a 1950s science scholarship. Not someone you imagined facing down an eight-armed psychopath on a speeding train.

    Half convinced she’d imagined the whole thing, Maggie crossed the diner and stepped up to his table. After a moment he noticed her, lifting his attention from an open book full of equations and cracker crumbs to look right at her.

    All doubt vanished when Maggie looked into his blue eyes and round face. It was him. No question. It was Spider-Man, right here at her table, waiting to order breakfast from her.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    There's a beauty in finding an old story from your past. Books weathered but still holding the same smell they did during popsicle summers and pie crust autumns. I remember reading this fic so very long ago, on the old Pit of Voles. What a gold standard gen fic this is. What a gem to find, saved and still treasured by so many, over here. What a lovely memory I find preserved here, in line breaks and heart aches and at least fifteen solar returns.
