   Summary

   There is nothing certain in life but death and taxes.

   As such, you live in a reality where the Norse gods are real and live among men on Earth, and you are a depression and anxiety survivor at the very end of her rope. You summon Loki, the God of Death himself, and parlay with him to reap your soul, as you feel you have no reason to live anymore and would rather serve at his side in the afterlife. Loki meets you and is both intrigued and horrified by your request. Instead of agreeing to kill you, he makes a wager with you: if he can convince you through debate that life is worth living by sunrise, then he will not kill you and you will never commit suicide on your own for the rest of your life. But if he can't convince you by sunrise, then he will fulfill your request and end your life for good. Loki/Reader AU.
