《Wished Away : Loki x neutral!reader》10. Loki the Librarian
Advertisement
Today, you decide to explore the tower some more. It's gigantic and you've really only spent your time in your room or in the living room. There's so much you haven't even seen yet.
You go to a couple different floors, some have science labs, or machining rooms, you find a couple training rooms as well. The most interesting floor you find is a library.
You look through the shelves, finding classics like Two Gentlemen in Verona and more niche books about things like theoretical science.
After about 20 minutes in the library you turn to leave but the sound of a book closing makes you stay. You look up and down the shelves for the person, and eventually your eyes fall onto Loki sitting in a chair with a book in his lap.
"Loki?" you whisper.
"Hmm? Y/n? Why are you whispering?" Loki asks, looking up from his book.
"Because we're in a library?"
"You do realize that this isn't a public library, you can be as loud as you like," he chuckles.
"Oh yeah. I forgot," you say normally, scratching the back of your head in embarrassment.
Loki changes the subject. "So, I see you've found the library."
"Yeah, I was just exploring the tower and I found it. It's huge," you reply.
Loki looks around at the shelves before looking back at you. "I actually helped Stark acquire most of these books. He didn't have many, and when I read all of them I requested for more. Stark agreed because he thought it would help 'keep me out of trouble'."
"Does that mean you've read most of the books here?" you ask. There were hundreds, if not thousands of books on the shelves.
He nods. "There is a shelf that's filled with books I haven't read yet."

You look at the book in his hands, he's now closed it and put a bookmark in it. "What about the book you're reading now? What is it?"
"Oh, it's called 'A Study in Scarlet'. Have you read it?" Loki answers.
"Yes! I love that book! I'm a big Sherlock Holmes fan," you say.
"Really? I think it's a bit bland. The characters seem a bit flat, and the book kind of drones on," Loki replies, frowning.
"I can see that, I like the characters and the stories more than I like the writing. The writing does get better with the other books," you shrug.
"How about... 'A Midsummer's Night Dream'? Have you read that one?"
"Shakespeare? I think so, I definitely read 'Romeo and Juliet' in High School," you say.
"You should read it sometime, it's interesting. Like most of Shakespeare's works, it's well written."
"I'll take your recommendation," you smile. "So you're a Shakespeare fan?"
"Yes, I've read all of his works a few times each," Loki answers, blushing a little.
"Nerddd," you joke.
Loki chuckles, "I can show you where 'A Midsummer's Night Dream' is if you'd like to read it?"
"Sure," you smile.
Loki stands up and sets the book on his chair, he walks past you and you follow him. He walks past a few shelves before stopping at one and starts scanning the shelves. Loki plucks a book out and hands it to you. "Here. Feel free to ask me for any other books, I have plenty," he smiles.
"Thank you, I'll let you know how I like it," you say, smiling at him as well. "Well, I'll leave you to your book, see you at dinner."
He nods. "See you at dinner."
You turn and leave the library, Loki stands there and watches you before he sighs and turns back to go to his chair.

Shattered Soul
Scorned by the humans of earth, the Shadow Walker and telekinetic Sarah Marie Johnson was executed as a traitor to the human race. After her death she meets the seraph Tavariel, who explains to her that since her birth her soul had been shattered. The young Moon Elf princess Linea has always been different. Never as strong as her siblings, but magically gifted, she soon had to bury her hopes to become a Void Hunter. Instead focusing on a path to become a healer, she performs a ritual to strengthen the bond to her goddess. Unexpectedly her ritual is hijacked by Tavariel, who guides her to the place, where someone awaits her. This is the story of two parts of a soul, which were never meant to be divided. This is their journey. Hello everyone, this is my first attempt for a story on my own, so if you find any mistakes feel free to point them out. I have a rough outline were my story will lead, but ultimately I have not fleshed out the whole story yet. The current release schedule is one chapter every sunday. This can subject to change and occasionally chapters can be delayed. If you got any questions regarding my story, feel free to contact me via comments or messages. WARNING: This story is mature and is only recommended to an audience older than 18. There is tragedy involved and if you can not handle certain topics like character death, suicide, rape (or any consent-based sexual activity), racism or violence, you are advised to skip this story. There will be, however, no depictions of rape . If it should happen, it will be "off-screen".
8 178The Archaic Elements
A fantasy world, its own unique power-up system, some mystery aspects to make it look interesting and an MC that should make sense but well messes up, cause plot. Flashy fights. Characters will use their brain, unless it is an arrogant young master that needs to be taught a lesson. The starting is slow and maybe boring. The main MC does not desire great strength or harbor any great ambition. He starts out as a naive, lazy and a boring person. But the story does hold one aspect which will fuel the growth of our MC, which is his boundless curiosity for adventure and his will to explore. The second MC is a reincarnation/transmigration and he has a clear cut aim that he needs to achieve. His past life experiences also becomes a pillar that will help guide the main MC, while his friend also supports him. The writing is slow and steady. I will provide reasonings behind most happenings and keep it a logical story. It's a WIP as I edit the previous chapters even as I release more, so while the content doesn't change, the style and smoothness improve. The current release rate is 3 chapter/week. There is no specific date as I can get sidetracked or forgetful., but I will try to stick to Tues, Thurs and Sunday releases.
