Chapter Text
Odin had just finished the last battle with Jotunheim. He was hoping to find his sister Fárbauti. He hadn't seen her since her husband declared war against Asgard, and he misses her so much, but Thor had missed her more; he adores his aunt, and he is so excited to meet his new cousin, especially since they will be around his age. As he enters the temple that they agreed to meet at, Odin doesn't see her at first, which is not hard because she got their mother's height." Fárbauti? Are you here." Suddenly, Fárbauti appeared; she was always good at magic, but when Odin saw her, he could tell something was wrong, and that was soon confirmed when Fárbauti collapsed." Fárbauti!"
When Odin gets to his sister, he sees two shocking things: first was that Fárbauti was gravity injected, and second was that she had a baby jotunn in her arms that was the size of aesir baby." Brother, this is my son, Loki Laufey. I was not pleased he came out small. Do you know how he put a ruler that any small jotunn born will be killed? I tried to get us both out, but Laufey found us. I will not survive, so please, brother, take Loki and raise him as you own." Tears started falling from Odin's one working eye as he took Loki from his mother's arms. Loki shifted his appearance to look like an aesir baby with pale skin, black hair, and emerald green eyes." I promise, sister." And knowing her son would be safe, Fárbauti took her last breath.
When they got back to Asgard, the first thing Odin did was find Frigga. Luckily, little Loki has slept through the whole trip." Odin, my love, thank the Norns. You came back safely. Is that a baby?" Odin nodded." When I went to the temple to meet Fárbauti, I found her significantly injured, and she didn't survive. This is her son, Loki. I promise her that we will take care of him as if he were our own." The saddest fills Frigga's face. She holds out her arms. Odin carefully passed Loki over to his wife. As soon as Loki is in Frigga's arms, Loki wakes up looking at Frigga and smiles." Your mother loved you, Loki, but she couldn't be here now. but me and Odin are your new parents now, and you even have a big brother now, too." At the mention of her son, Frigga looks at her husband with despair." How are we going to tell Thor he loved Fárbauti." Odin sighed, not looking forward to this." The truth."
When Thor saw his father, he ran up and hugged him." Father! I'm so happy you saved Aunt Fárbauti!" Odin looks at his son sadly. " I'm afraid aunt Fárbauti has gone to Valhalla. She was gravely injured and didn't survive before she passed. I promise her that we will take care of her son." Frigga steps in, showering him Loki." This is Fárbauti's son. His name is Loki, and he his your new brother." Tears fill Thor's eyes, but he holds it together." Why does he look fantastic, and why is he so small? Isn't he supposed to be mostly jotunn?" Odin spoke up." He is a small jotunn. Both his father thought he was weak because of that and tried to get rid of him, but Fárbauti was able to save him." Thor looks up at his mother." Can I hold him?" Frigga nodded and carefully handed Loki over to Thor. Thor looks at his new brother." Hi Loki, I know you will miss Aunt Fárbauti. I will, too, but mother, father, and I are your family now, and I will protect you, brother."
