In 'loki is much younger than thor fanfiction', how does the age difference between Loki and Thor affect their relationship in the story?

When Thor is mean to Loki in fanfiction, it can lead to a downward spiral in their relationship. Loki, feeling constantly attacked, may lash out in more extreme ways. Thor, on the other hand, may double down on his meanness, believing it's the only way to deal with Loki. This can create a cycle of animosity where any love or brotherly bond they had is overshadowed by anger and distrust. For example, Loki could start to form alliances with Thor's enemies out of spite, and Thor would see this as confirmation of Loki's untrustworthiness, making the relationship even worse.

Often, the age difference is used to create a sense of mystery around Loki. Since he's much younger, he may have powers or abilities that are not fully developed yet. This can drive the plot as the story may revolve around Loki discovering and mastering these powers, with Thor sometimes being a mentor or a hindrance depending on the situation.

These fanfictions typically show their relationship as something that has to be hidden from the rest of Asgard. It adds an element of secrecy and danger. The relationship is also often portrayed as a way for both characters to find solace in a world that doesn't always understand them. Loki's cunning and Thor's power are intertwined in a way that makes their connection unique and captivating.

Thor's perception of Loki would change drastically. Instead of seeing him as his mischievous but ultimately Asgardian brother, he would start to view Loki as an outsider, an enemy perhaps. This change in their relationship would affect Thor's self - confidence. He might become more hesitant in his actions, constantly wondering if he could have done something different to keep Loki in Asgard. Also, he would have to face the political implications within Asgard, as some might see Loki's stay in Jotunheim as a threat and put pressure on Thor to take action.

It could strengthen their bond. They now have a common responsibility to protect and guide their younger brother. For instance, Thor might take on a more fatherly role, teaching him about honor and courage, while Loki could teach him some of his sly ways to outwit enemies, but also warn him of the dangers of excessive trickery. Their relationship could become more complex as they balance their own differences while raising the younger brother.

Thor might initially go into denial. He can't believe that Loki is truly gone. He may hold Loki's body for a long time, as if waiting for him to come back to life. Then, he could become angry. Angry at the situation, at whoever or whatever caused Loki's death. Eventually, he may find solace in the memories of Loki. Remembering the good times they had together and using those memories to move forward.

Well, Loki is often seen as more complex. He has a more ambiguous moral compass which makes his character more interesting in fanfiction. He can be a trickster, a misunderstood anti - hero, while Thor is more of a straightforward hero type.

In fanfiction, her character is distinct from Thor and Loki. Thor is associated with honor and strength in combat, Loki with his slyness and intelligence in manipulation. Their sister can be seen as a bridge between their two extremes. She may not be as physically strong as Thor but has her own form of power, perhaps in the realm of diplomacy or magic that is different from Loki's. For example, she could use her magic to create harmony rather than chaos like Loki. Also, her motivation might be different. Instead of Thor's quest for glory or Loki's desire for power, she could be driven by a need to protect her family and the realms in a more holistic way.

In many Thor Loki Avengers fanfictions, Loki's character development often starts from a place of being the villain. He then gradually realizes the value of his relationships, especially with Thor. For example, in some stories, after seeing the loyalty of the Avengers to each other, he begins to question his own actions. He might start to show remorse for his past deeds like the attack on New York.

There's 'Thor's Redemption in Loki's Arms'. In this story, Thor realizes his true feelings for Loki after a series of events that nearly tear Asgard apart. It's a tale full of emotion and character development.
