First, why did Loki seem surprised Thor was hesitant for Loki to touch him? Loki has stabbed, beaten, and made Thor emotionally suffer.
Second. Why is Loki healing Thor when he mentally confirms he will hurt him again.
Lastly. Loki’s death came way too late in my opinion.

Why do people like this heartless fool?

Good fic

I enjoyed reading this.

Few typos I noticed here and there.

I loved this. You have balanced their teasing with the seriousness of the moment really well.

Just a minor quibble. There is a typo in 'It is a poor way to live, if your resulting path is any proof'.

Loved the story!

awe that was so nice I lkiked it

Wow. It's a really good one shot. Two brothers always standing in their own way and unable to say what they really think. And still... somehow they get the message.
