Thor movieverse, Loki + Thor, Loki is Odin's first born son, Thor the younger brother

I was wondering about something similar. Not that Loki was the first-born, but that Loki was the Aesir, and Thor secretly the Jotun.

If Frigga thought she could not bear a child, and Odin, desperate, brought her a Jotun child to be their 'firstborn'. And then, they find out with Loki's birth that, whoopsie, she can bear children.

So we have Thor, perfect, golden Thor, the epitome of an Asgardian, finding out he is a Jotun. And Loki, the trickster, the non-warrior, the second son, discovering he is the true son of Asgard.

I wonder if that would turn out better or worse, for all concerned. Heh.

Um ... that was kinda what I was going for. That Loki be of Asgard and Thor be Jotun, but I wasn't overly sure if that was spoilery or not, so I played it safe.

... Spoilers. I absolutely remembered to think of that. *ducks sheepishly*

Lol.

But, in all honesty, I'm pretty sure that the whole 'lets steal a Jotun' plan was going to to turn out badly no matter which son it was.

Not one of Odin's brightest ideas, no.

*tilts head* Possibly Thor would take being a Jotun better. Or, possibly, he'd actually just straight ignore it. Hard to tell. And Loki ... Loki's very 'divine right of kings'. If it's proven his brother is unsuitable for the throne, I don't think he'd be long in grabbing it.

That said, though ... that might still go reasonably well. I mean, there's a chance. Thor might cede gracefully, Loki might protect his brother ... There'd be hope, at least.

It all depends. Nature vs nurture and all that jazz.

Without the massive identity crisis for Loki, and everything that came with that, he might hang onto sanity better. He might still be a bit of a diva, granted, but he might be a sane one.

Thor ... is hard to call. He's just such a nice guy he could accept it ... or he could lose his temper. Either way ... It's all one big maybe.

*nods* All possibly complicated depending on whether Odin still drops Thor down to Earth or not. I mean, I rate Thor's chances much higher if he still has Jane, but Odin declaring him unfit and casting him out on top of that revelation ... well. Look how it went with Loki. So.

You realise that's not a comment fic, right? *smiles faintly* That's like a grand shakespearean epic of an AU.

... Um ... I guess. Maybe. A girl can hope for someone to write her a grand shakespearean epic of an AU can't she? Even if it's only a little one.

... Gimme half an hour. I make no promises, mind.

Um. How villanous and/or manipulative do you like your Lokis?

Yay!!! :)

Don't matter really. Depends on the fic.

Et voila. 1450-ish words on my LJ. And, um. I make no promises for quality, yes? *grins sheepishly*
