the scars of your love they leave me breathless

i. Got a Pottermore account last night! From the tragically limited selection of usernames it offered me, I'm StormScarlet127, which should be extremely easy to remember; I can't decide whether it sounds like I'm a particularly metal Gryffindor supporter or an Ororo/Wanda shipper.

ii. Naturally this vid exists: arefadedaway has made an Erik/Charles vid to Rolling in the Deep, and if you have Erik/Charles feelings, you should RUN NOT WALK to see it; it is pretty much exactly the vid I have been craving. It has footage from all four films, and it made me clutch my face a lot (which -- "I clutched my face" is basically my go-to shorthand for "it gave me ALL THE FEELINGS," but that's because things that give me feelings make me literally clutch my face) and I love it so much.

iii. Things I have discovered whilst writing Ragnarok: it's slightly absurd that Hel isn't a Marvel supervillainess. Seriously, she's perfect. (And she's also kind of Mazikeen, which does not make her any less perfect.) This week seems to be stories about awesome ladies and the supervillains who love them.

DARCY O'CLOCK (it is always darcy o'clock)

So perhaps you guys remember Sigyn (binding is not punishment), that fic I wrote where Darcy is a hipster and she and Loki bond over comics and when Loki is bound beneath the world, she stays with him to catch venom in a bowl? A few people mentioned that they'd be curious to read the version of Ragnarok that might happen as a result of that fic. "Haha, maybe," said I, lying through my teeth as one does when writing Loki, "if I ever figure out how to make it work in this universe."

I think the take-home message here is that, if you throw any myth about Loki at me, I will remix the hell out of it.

Ragnarok (release tips the balance), Darcy/Loki. A long time ago, when they were locked away, Loki promised they would escape at the end of the world.
