A Look at the Past (джен)

Sequel to "A Day of Reckoning".
Some things should stay safely buried in the past and left behind, so they weigh down as little as possible on the hopes for a better future. As the years of Loki's sentence tick by, he and Thor come to an unspoken agreement to mention life before Loki's fall as little as possible. And it's an arrangement that serves them well, until one day's border patrol with Thor and his friends almost leads to another fall. It's not the Void that he sees at the end of that empty space, just the ground at the bottom of the cliff, but Loki still finds himself frozen in panic at the memories brought forth.
And for a moment, when Thor comes to help him, Loki finds himself afraid that the nightmare will begin all over again.
Thor notices his distress, and comes to see him later in his cell, wondering now if there is anything he can do to convince Loki that he does not remember that night at the broken Bifrost as it really happened. Loki realizes that he does have a way. It's just going to take a lot of trust extended on both sides for it to work...and the brothers might not like what they see on the others ide.
