A Night in the Moonlight (джен)

Sequel to "A Day in the Sun".
One relatively peaceful year has passed since the day Thor first tried to give Loki a lesson on the wonder and worth of Midgard and its humans. Loki has been obedient in his punishment since, and Odin has finally agreed to another day for the lessons to continue. But no one can predict the events that will unfold from an innocent visit to Earth in their continued attempts to rehabilitate Loki.
Thor gets a glimpse of how deep Loki's pain runs, when a new threat presents itself and his younger brother tries to flee in fear for his life. He sees that Loki's faith in his family is not so strong as Thor's faith in his brother, and learns the reason why. But Thor is resolved not to surrender Loki, or the steps they've taken together, to anyone no matter their power. He offers protection, understanding, and trust in the days and fights to come. All he asks in turn is that Loki return that trust in him, and stand with him once more in defense of their home. Talking happens, fighting happens, and questions are answered.
