Summary
And then Loki moved to turn away, still standing despite the way he trembled, but Steve reached for his neck, gripping his nape and stopping him. His skin was sweaty and hot.
"Shh, none of that, now. It's time to settle for me. Just settle." He punctuated the words with a firm squeeze.
Loki has been adrift, an outsider in his family—a bastard child that Odin made sure knew his place.
He’s made a life of bringing shame to the Odinson name out of spite, which leads to his mother’s death, starting a spiral made of unsafe hookups and illicit substances.
But Thor refuses to lose his brother, too.
A plan is devised: Sending Loki to stay with Thor’s friend from the army, Steve, who lives in the woods of Maine, far away from the city and the temptation it brings.
Except Steve and Loki aren’t strangers—having once shared a perfect night that had made him feel comforted and safe, given him a taste of something more.
It had terrified him enough that he’d bolted before Steve woke the following day.
So now, misunderstandings and miscommunication, misjudging each other, all play out, as neither has all the facts, leaving them to realize a few truths along the way.
