Odin tries to have Loki's magic taken away; that backfires on him

[ladyhatshepsut.livejournal.com]

I was thinking this story was by PeaceHeather but I can't seem to find it. The Avengers are in a hall on Asgard, there to witness an old woman strip Loki (who can't speak for some reason) of his magic (his seidr) (I think) as punishment. She finds a long of spells layered on to him and manifests them in different images. Some were chains linking him to various people he had some connections to, like Widow, Clint, and Thor. At least one spell showed as a knife sticking out of his skull. The woman, under duress from Odin, starts working to take these spells off him. The witnesses begin to realize that Loki's actions during the invasion of Midgard and his others actions were not of his own free will. Odin goes into a frenzy of madness against Loki, going through Thor to strike at him. But when he breaches the magic barrier the old woman laid down around Loki he's changed to some almost spider-like creature, showing his his inner self.
Of course I can recall all that detail of the story, or at least that part of a larger story if that's what it is, but I can't thinks of the title of if it is indeed written by PeaceHeather or someone else. Help!

I think you're looking for PeaceHeather's What you are in the dark (is beautiful), although Odin doesn't try to strip Loki of his magic in it - that happens in Skýli by the same author.

Of course it'd be the only one I DIDN'T click on. Bleh!

I knew it was some sort of punishment. Anyway, thank you much. That story has been on my mind for about a week but in between obsessing over Tom Holland's Lip Sync Battle win (which I just discovered lately) and doctors appointments and pharmacy pick-ups (SACRAMENTO PUBLIC TRANSIT SUCKS!!!) I just haven't had time to start looking until a day or two ago. Again, thank you. And stay safe.

Didn't show here but it did at the website. Thank you. That will look grand on the page when I finally get around to printing out PeaceHeather's fine stories.
