Notes
Written essentially at the same time as my other Kamigami no Asobi fic, also for fic_promptly, using the prompt "endless night". Hoooopefully I'm not remembering the plot too incorrectly. Well. Here is this little thing, regardless.
...One of my cats just knocked over one of my computer speakers with his ass. Thanks, Kalma.
The night was cold, nothing but forest and snow for as long as the eye could see.
Loki stared up into the sky, wondering how long it would take to count all of the stars. He felt like he was stuck in a moment, a pocket in time and space where the seconds had stopped passing, the night lasting an eternity.
He felt cold, despite the magic embers in his chest.
Time had stopped moving the moment he learned about the fate that bound them. Fate was cruel, sneering down at him.
He squeezed the dagger in his hand tightly.
