"Hey, Abed?" Annie said. "Are you and Troy having secret sex?"

Thor AU. In which Loki is the one cast to Earth, powerless but unknowing of his origins. He works with Jane & Erik & Darcy to find a way back, until Thor finds him again. Slow beginning but it gets really good, heavy on the angst, satisfying resolution.

"Loki, what are you doing?"

He looks up to see Jane standing in the doorway, half in shadow, her eyes wide with horror. Loki sets the nitrogen container carefully aside, and looks back down at his arm with the slowness of a dream. The skin there is blue, fading slowly back to pale. Loki struggles to find his voice. "I may be cursed," he whispers.

As though the words have freed Jane, she rushes over and seizes Loki's arm, turning it gently this way and that. Her face lifts to his. "I -- I don't understand."

"I don't either." It is suddenly very important that he sit down, and since no seat is convenient, Loki simply sinks to the floor. Jane kneels beside him, still clutching his arm. Loki's head falls back, and without warning he is doing his best to swallow bewildered tears. He cannot be Asgardian. But surely it cannot be that Odin had cast him aside after Loki had outgrown the Allfather's uses. No father could be so cruel. No.
