A/N: for the rarepairficexchange, for theharleyquinn

On Asgard, a soulmate was the most treasured bond one could form, outside those forged in battle. It is a connection brought upon by a power not fully understood and known by even the Gods, and that mystery made those connections all that more desired, more cherished.

It is a concept that Thor learned of as a child, watching his mother take care of his new baby brother (His name is Loki, Thor, be gentle, was the firm but kind advice she had given him), and upon chance, seeing his father’s name scrawled across her collarbone and immediately demanding answers.

One that she explained, with the simplest words possible.

“Does father have your name as well?” he asked, blue eyes wide and curious.

“He does,” she confirmed, her eyes twinkling.

Thor looked on his own skin, nose wrinkling. “And there shall be a day when I too will have a name?”

“Yes, my dear, there will be,” Frigga said, fondness in her tone and expression evident.

“When?” He wasn’t sure whether he wanted the name immediately, or at all. All he wished to do was play and fight.

“When you are ready.”

Try as he may, there was no other answer he would be able to coax, from her or his father. Only that when the time was right, he shall receive the name of the one who was the other half of his soul.

It was not long after that he first met Sif.

Because this is the closest I’ll ever get to MCU!ThorSif and pining Thor, probably.

Man, it would’ve been awesome if we saw Sif in Infinity War fighting back to back or saving Thor (like in the beginning of TDW) in Wakanda and being in that Okoye & Natasha & Wanda scene.

On another note, I’m really loving this Sif figure—the face sculpt is awesome and very accurate! Plus, you get Sif’s iconic double bladed sword! (Though I don’t think you can see it, the way I posted it)

Their friendship was certainly arranged, Sif knows, for this very reason, so that perhaps one day they would grow up and get married and join his father's company and her father's company together; a political move from the beginning. She should hate him for this, she knows that too, she should hate him for being pushed towards her in every turn, should watch him tossing the basketball at the net and despise every move he makes.

But she is unable to hate him for the simplest of reasons -- the plan worked, and she steals the basketball out of his hands and he laughs, and she thinks she loves him.
