《Wished Away : Loki x neutral!reader》16. Cheese Cubes and Free Food
Advertisement
At 10 p.m. you walk across the hall to Loki's room and knock at their door. "Put on something fancy, we're going out!" you yell.
"What?! Where?" they ask, opening the door.
"It's a surprise, now get dressed—something nice," you sing. You were already dressed and wearing the fanciest clothes you had.
"Okay... this better be worth it Y/n. I'll be done in just a few," Loki says, closing their door.
You really hope Loki is going to enjoy what you have planned. They seem to like "classical" things, like art and theatre, so you decided to take them to an art gallery. Something simple.
After fifteen minutes, Loki walks out into the hallway wearing a simple black and white suit. They look really good.
"I didn't have anything so I conjured this from Clint closet. Does it look alright?"
"You look amazing!" you compliment. "Now let's get going, the place opens in an less than an hour." You grab their arm and drag them to an elevator, and once you get inside you hit the garage button.
The garage is overwhelming. Tony has a lot of cars. Anything from muscle cars—even a Formula-1 car—to SUVs. You decide to pick a Volkswagen.
"Where are we going again?" Loki asks once you two get in the car.
"An art gallery. It's a new artist so it won't be too busy, but since we aren't actually going to buy their art we'll help convince other people to," you say, leaning over your seat to back the car up.
"And we do that, how?"
"People are more likely to buy art if they know more people like it, so kind of through peer pressure. We'll walk around—eat some cheese cubes along the way—and pretend to be talking to each other about the painting. How's that sound?" you ask, looking over at them. You were barely even out of the garage, and if Loki didn't like the idea, you could park the car and stay here.

"Sounds fun," they answer.
"Great!" you smile, "We'll be there in around thirty minutes."
Once you get there, you two walk in and each grab one of the pamphlets about the artwork and the artist.
"Ooo, look Loki, there's a table with food," you whisper. "I guess we get more than cheese cubes."
For the next hour you two walk around and mostly end up talking about the paintings.
Loki was happy. Not because of the art—they do like the paintings—but they were mostly smiling at your excitement. You look so happy.
You both decide to keep going back to this one painting, which causes a small group to form around it. It's the first to sell when the bidding starts.
The artist sells all but two of their paintings. Everyone slowly begins to leave after the bidding and you and Loki head back to your car.
"Ugh," you groan. "I think I ate at least three platters worth of cheese cubes. That's one platter too much. Those triangle sandwiches didn't help either."
"I told to stop," Loki chuckles. "But you insisted there wasn't such a thing as 'too many cheese cubes'."
"Well, you were right Lokes. There is such a thing as too many cheese cubes," you say.
You start the car drive back to the tower, and park the car before going back to your rooms.
"I had a lot of fun with you tonight," Loki says, when you stop at your room.
"I had a lot of fun with you too, we should do something like this again," you smile.
They mod, "We should. Goodnight Y/n."
"Goodnight Loki," you say, as you walk into your room and close your door.
Loki walks to their own room, smiling to themself. They think they really like you.

Dungeons & Demons
*!* This story is currently being continued on a different page, following years of hiatus and extensive rewrites *!* Please follow the link to read the up-to-date version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/53863/cycles-of-ruin Basil von Doom is a powerful dungeon keeper with a simple mission: to bring ruin and destruction upon civilized worlds at the height of their decadence and stagnation. Much like his father before him, the new master of House Doom is a prodigy of war, yet the venerable minions of his household still hold strange loyalties toward his missing ancestor, silently comparing the legendary rage of his father to the more pragmatic approach of the son. Adding to Basil’s frustrations is the lack of accomplishment he feels for his work, with the dungeon keeper often taking on handicaps just to give his enemies a fighting chance. With all the power and wealth one could ever dream of already within his grasp, Basil now finds that the achievements of others kindle more joy in his heart than his own crushing victories. Thus Basil has taken up mentoring the next generation of dungeon keepers to try and diagnose the cause for his own lack of passion. With his apprentice, Elnora, managing most of the daily work around the dungeon, Basil can finally turn his attention towards his personal concerns, such as tackling the shadow of his legendary father that still looms large over him.

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.
