Why this must be read:
Author's summary: When Odin places his Jötunn foundling in Frigga's arms, she knows what is to come.
So...I grew up with a fondness for all trickster characters, including the Loki of Norse Mythology, but Loki of the MCU - especially from The Avengers - was difficult for me to love and his actions were almost impossible to excuse. This story does not excuse his actions, but it does, at least, go some way toward offering an explanation.
Even more, though, this is a story about the strength of a mother's love for her sons, regardless of the fact that neither is the child of her womb. Móðir is a smart and moving piece of writing, and one which seamlessly melds Norse myth canon to the world of the Marvel movie!verse.
