Originally a fill posted at norsekink in response to the prompt:

“After the Avengers capture Loki at the end of the movie, they lock him up as a precaution before shipping him off to Asgard. And being the good guys, they decide to give him the chance to bathe and dress in clean clothes instead of sleeping in his own dirty rags.

The problem is, without the whole battle gear and the drawn and mean look, Loki looks surprisingly young, which prompts the Avengers to ask Thor just how old Loki really is. Of course Loki is centuries old, but Thor tells them that in human standard, Loki would still be considered underage!

Cue to horrified Avengers who wants to know exactly what sort of crappy home life Loki must have had to end up like this before even reaching adulthood.”

It rather spiralled from there into a behemoth, now in the process of being edited and hopefully cleaned of glaring plotholes! Updated daily.

First things first, this fic hasn’t been updated since 2013. However, it is still definitely worth the read. It makes you think, it really does, about morals and wrong and right and POVs, and it gives you a whole new (and probably accurate) perspective on Asgard and Thor’s view of Earth. Loki’s personality and the blend of MCU canon and Norse mythology is super interesting, and the science/magic and subtle and confusing politics and morality really makes you stretch mentally. It’s has a frantic, mad genius feel to it. Please, please check the tags, though.
