Loki could
feel a gaze upon him. It was a crowded high-end bar and he was dressed to the
nines, so it wasn’t uncommon that he got looks. Bliss Bar always delivered. But
this was a gaze that commanded his attention, a slow devouring than a wanton
look. Loki met the gaze. Piercing eyes, blonde hair in a bun, a charismatic
grin. Handsome, but not bright. Seems like Loki’s lucky day, but now to check
for the goods… watch, shoes, cufflinks. Oh, this guy has got the goods alright.
Loki must have been a very good boy in his past life, if he got a chance at
this guy. Classic “daddy’s got money” type, and Loki had no qualms about taking
some of that money for a couple of months. After all it does the economy no
good locked up in a bank vault, with Loki he could be booking so many five-star
trips. It’s better for everyone really. He locked eyes with the handsome
stranger for five seconds before smiling shyly and looking away. Something
about that open smile of his screamed to Loki that he was probably looking for
a “boy next door” kind of guy, but no problem, Loki could be that guy for a few
months.
Mr.
Handsome sidles up next to Loki, and before he could take too much notice, Loki
pushes his Old Fashioned away behind him. The bar tender gave him a knowing
look. This wasn’t his first rodeo.
“Hi, I’m
Thor, can I grab you a drink?”
Loki gave his best “innocent eyes” look and smiled openly, “I’m Loki. A beer
would be great.” He cringed on the inside, he hates beer but at the look of
pleasant surprise, he knew it was the right answer. “Uh yeah, what kind?”
Shit! What
was a brand? “Sapporo.” Shit, a foreign beer, but it was the drink of choice
from his last boyfriend (although can you call them that if you had an end date
in mind with no romantic feelings?). But at that Thor smile became a grin.
“Sapporo, hey? Nice choice.”
‘Yeah my
dad went to Japan and wouldn’t shut up about it, so I had to give it a try and
after that it was love at first sight.” Loki aimed another shy smile at Thor.
“You don’t
say…” Thor grinned at Loki wolfishly. Little did Thor know who the real wolf knows.
The bar tender slapped their drinks down and they clinked their glasses
together. God, the taste was awful, but Loki made sure none of that reflected
on his face.
“So, what’s
a nice guy like you doing here alone?”
“Who says I’m here alone?” Loki cursed himself for that quip. Cool the tongue,
he wants a nice, dumb guy to warm his cock for the night. Not who Loki actually
was; competent clever and absolutely sinful. Men liked “Simple! Not Sinful!”
There was a
smile on Thor’s lips, but it was half hidden by the glass as he took another
sip. Loki didn’t know what that smile meant, but the night was still young. “Excuse
my curiosity. I am just unused to seeing gorgeous guys alone for even a minute.
Where I am from, you would have a queue of guys lining up to see you.” Urgh,
cheesy. Loki wanted to roll his eyes. But instead he said, “You are too sweet!”
And he slapped Thor’s arm playfully. Oh yeah, real muscles are underneath that
dinner jacket. Thor gave Loki a cheeky grin.
And so, the
night went on with a bit more back and forth between the two. Loki managed to
find out that Thor was the son of Odin a shipping magnet and heir to Asgard.
Who were apparently looking at drone technology… blah blah bah. All that
mattered was Loki’s hunch was right and worth at least a few million (and when
Thor was in the bathroom, Loki found out there were a couple of zeros he missed
which was a pleasant surprise). And after the third beer and a couple of
touches, Thor was inviting him back to his place…
Loki
checked his watch 2:00am perfect timing. Most people have their partners by now
an it was a little too early in the morning for Thor to start another
conversation with someone else. “Oh shoot! Is that the time? I really want to!
But I completely forgot that I am needing to pick my brother up from the
airport tomorrow morning.”
Loki picked
out his phone and saw that Thor was doing the same. “Can I grab your number?
And we can totally rearrange another time.” He could feel the disappointment
from Thor. Loki moved into Thor’s space and brushed his hand down Thor’s chest.
“I have, Thursday free, I mean, if you are up for it?” Loki stroked Thor’s tie,
smoothing it against him.
Thor who
had been sitting next to him on the bar stool, stood and took Loki’s hand in
his wrist and pulled him forward into a kiss. Loki’s other hand went to Thor’s
shoulder to balance himself. Thor’s free hand went to grasp Loki around his
waist. The kiss was possessive, passionate, hot and Loki wanted more. His hand
on Thor’s shoulder gripped at the man’s dinner jacket. Fuck it. He could just
enjoy this for him. Loki returned the kiss just as passionately and used his
tongue to coax moans out of Thor. This was going to be good. It wasn’t
impossible for Loki to turn this around and besides there were plenty of other
rich fish in the sea….

It can be hard to find that balance between a character that is too perfect for readers to love and a character that is too flawed for readers to relate to.
Something I like to remember when thinking of flaws to give characters is that very often, flaws can be positive attributes that are in excess.
(This is related to Aristotle’s Virtues and Doctrine of the Mean.)
FOR INSTANCE,
Courage is a positive trait.
But taken too far? That can lead to rashness, or recklessness, which are negative traits. And without enough courage? The character is meak, fearful and cowardly, which are also negative traits.
Here are some examples to think of for your characters of positive traits taken to the extremes.

Have fun!
I have been vorchagirl ever since I started playing Mass Effect and she has been such a great source of fan generated content and kept the Mass Effect love up for me.
Let’s be real here. The Mass Effect fandom is going through a _weird _time. We’re waiting for a new game, grasping at straws and latching onto whatever news we might have and it’s only natural for everyone to get a little frazzled and on edge. We’ve all got our hopes and wants and wishes for Andromeda, and it’s an exciting, but also scary time. Because of this, there haven’t been many chances to enthusiastically talk about _why _we feel this way in the first place.
So that’s why April 10th - April 16th will be Mass Effect Appreciation Week, a week dedicated to celebrating what the games mean to us and why we love them so much. Feel free to make gifs, art, fics, or even just long winded text posts to get all your feelings out. It’s all valid and it’s all good.
I’ve come up with some themes for the days, and you by no means need to abide by them. It’s all about positivity and enthusiasm, in any form. Let’s use the tag #meappreciation.
April 10th: Beginnings: How did you find/begin playing Mass Effect? What were your first impressions?
April 11th: Happy Birthday, Shepard!: In honor of Shepard’s birthday, talk about what Shepard means to you? Talk about your Shepard, share caps, gifs, stories, etc.
April 12th: The Squad: Take a day to celebrate squad members who have had an impact on you or who mean something to you.
April 13th: Missions: Which missions own your heart? Why?
April 14th: Relationships: Not just Shepard and the romance options, but anyone! Talk about bonds and relationships that mean a ton to you.
April 15th: Quotes: Which quotes from the trilogy have left an impact on you?
April 16th: Endings: What significance does the end of the Mass Effect trilogy have to you? How does your Shepard’s story end and why is it important that it ends that way? Talk about head canons, theories, stories etc.
Spread the word, get excited!
also a huge thank you to @omegastation for the lovely banner!
