Summary
Loki had always been very good at deciding what mattered.
It was a survival skill, honed young and sharpened often: choose the important thing, discard the rest, and keep moving. Pain rarely made the cut. Pain was common, expected, easily rationalised. Pain was something you endured quietly, because reacting to it only invited questions, and questions—historically—had never ended well.
So when the blade slid between his ribs, low and to the left, slipping past bone with an unpleasant intimacy, Loki noticed it only long enough to register that it would be inconvenient later.
------
After Asgard’s fall, Loki continues doing what he’s always done: enduring quietly, making himself useful, and refusing to slow down. But as injuries accumulate and old problems resurface, the line between survival and self-destruction begins to blur—dragging Thor, Valkyrie, and the rest of what remains of Asgard into the fallout.
