Loki asks Odin to kill him and believes he will until the last second

[nytekit.livejournal.com]

This fic has been on my mind for the past couple of days and I just cannot find it. I think it takes place post-Avengers but before Thor: TDW. It's a bit of a suicidal!Loki fic in that he's back in Asgard and is maybe still a prisoner and he asks Odin to kill him. What I mostly remember is that after a time, Odin comes to him and walks him down the halls of Asgard into a dark space and Loki makes it clear that he would prefer not to be killed underground. Odin ignores him and continues walking until they both exit the underground passage onto the lawn of the palace. There Odin tells Loki that he thought Loki's request to be killed was just to get at Frigga in some way but he realized it was a true request when Loki did not even attempt to stop Odin from walking him to his death. Instead, he offers Loki freedom. Thor and Frigga show up a bit later and Frigga is pissed that Odin let Loki think he was going to kill him. All of this is mostly towards the end.

Please someone tell me you know this fic!

I think it was The Lullaby Singer by TheOtherOdinson

No it's not The Lullaby Singer, but thanks for giving me something else to read!

It is not The Lullaby Singer, but I can´t remember which fic it is, I read it at least twice, but this one scene is not enough for my memory. I will think of it.

Yes! I'v read it at least twice too but I cannot for the life of me remember the beginning of the fic. Even knowing the author would help... Thanks for continuing to try!

I found it! In case anyone else wants to know, it's Mending by Lise, part of the Tapestries verse.

One of my favorites! I was just about to look it up for you and then saw you'd already found it. Such a powerful story.
