Summary: In an alien world spanning several galaxies and a federation of various races, Teuta tries her hardest to stay alive and free. And to definitely, most certainly, not get involved with her enforced partner; the Norse Trickster, Loki. Loki tries his best to both pull himself out of the pit of despair he buried himself in and to understand the surprising infatuation with Teuta. Oh, and, her exes are all Trickster gods. Also, he can't get it up. Yikes.

Warnings: NSFW parts; smut: M/F, F/F; graphic violence; death, mentions of suicide

Characters: Loki (mixture of MCU and Norse mythology), OFC Teuta, various gods and other creatures from various mythologies

Notes:

This is a fic I've wanted to write for a very long time. It is a mashup of lots of different worlds and characters. I've glued together different infatuations from different points in my life, trying to laugh and express love to mythologies, books, movies, folk stories, authors, characters. I apologise in advance to certain individuals and their work that I'll be referencing - I respect and admire them all. I was greatly inspired by the freedom and wild flights of the magnificent @nildespirandum (Misreall on AO3) to actually get it on paper. So, here is this little world. I would be ecstatic if anybody else likes it; but I'm not expecting it. Just typing it down was an immense pleasure of its own. This story was supported, encouraged, validated and showered with love by my incredible friend, @superficialdomina . In all honesty, I'd never have written it without her - my first inspirations would have waned, I'd stay silent if it wasn't for her. I encourage you to go read her stories and you'll know what I mean. For the introduction: Teuta is the name of an Illyrian pirate queen, I grew up on stories about her. OC's name is inspired by her, as it'll be explained in the story. Loki is not fully the one from Marvel, my version is an AU mix of both mythology and the comics. Her implants are a reference to Molly Millions from Gibson's Neuromancer.
