First off, I'd like to reiterate that this is a fully finished fic! I started it for NaNoWriMo in 2017 and I've been working on it, on and off, ever since until I finished it in December 2020. Since then I've been editing it, but that's now finally done!Altogether this fic clocks in at just under half a million words at 480,121 words!I still very much view this as my 1st MCU fic as it was started before either Ensoulment or Mirror in the Sky. This is also the fic from which snippets have ended up on Twitter at various points.Note: This fic starts during the events of Thor and goes AU from there, but some events from Avengers Assemble & Thor: The Dark World are also referenced due to the time travel. As this fic was started before various movies came out (Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers Infinity War, Avengers Endgame...), it will ignore them and what we learned then. So my Niðavellir & dwarves are a bit different from what the MCU eventually showed us.Chapters: Each chapter is ~5,000 words, ranging from 3,878-6,787, with an average of 5,136 words. So that is about what you can expect in each of the 93 chapters.Updating Schedule: My aim is to stay as close to weekly as I can manage. I don't want to promise it as you never know what will occur (though holidays look unlikely anytime soon!), but my goal is a new chapter every week. It won't necessarily be on Saturdays, though, I'm just starting on the 30th of January as it's my birthday :)Spoilers: Thor, Avengers Assemble, Thor: The Dark World & Captain MarvelLanguage: I like to use the more proper Old Norse spelling for anything related to Norse Mythology. Hence I will have Ásgarðr instead of Asgard and Óðinn instead of Odin. The only times I won't do so, is if I think the original spelling will interfere with recognition. So I will use Thor instead of Þórr. I will also use a smattering of actual Old Norse words for local color - all of them will be explained in the footnotes.Nine Realms: As it's not entirely clear in the MCU or Norse Mythology, I thought I'd make it explicit here which Realms I view as being within 'the Nine'. So for the purposes of this series those are: Ásgarðr, Miðgarðr (Earth), Álfheimr, Niðavellir, Svartálfaheimr, Jötunheimr, Vanaheimr, Niflheimr & Múspellsheimr. I leave Hel(heimr) as an afterlife, while Nornheimr is outside the Nine in this series.Series: Song of the Yggdrasill - I have already started work on the first of several planned sequels.Beta: TallymarkArt: I have been honored by having several artists create glorious fan art for this fic. While I linked to each piece at the end of the next chapter I posted, you can find the masterlist on my blog. The pieces are linked to per chapter, so you can view each one as you get to the right spot.Warning: This fic was affected by this site's decision to limit tags. Unfortunately, a lot of my trigger warnings died on AO3's chopping block as a result. If you found this fic using exclusion criteria in your search, please
