Description:

During the chaos surrounding the infinity gems, a variant of Loki got his hands on the Time Gem and the Tesseract. Thinking this was his ticket to fix everything, he cobbles together a package of hints and ciphers as quickly as he can before the attempt drives him insane and blasts it backward in time. Unfortunately, he was hardly in a fit condition to use such powerful magic properly. Certain his efforts were for naught, he never speaks of his actions.

In another universe, a depressed and drunk Adolescent Loki receives a strange package and resolves to set his life on a new path.

Time travel isn't impossible even if you don't have the Time Gem, but using it to change anything more than a few days past is widely considered the most effective way to go insane or ruin your life. So when Loki receives a package apparently from his future self he is understandably concerned. The Wheel of Time continues to turn, and whatever happens in this iteration of the universe, Loki will not ignore this herald of dangers to come.

**You can begin at "A New Path" if you want to skip ahead.**

Notes:

Covers the immediate fallout from Loki receiving a letter from his future self in several parts.

The MCU says that the Norse Myths were written by this one dude as salty real person fanfic and/or tabloid gossip that he mostly made up trying to get laid:

This means that while some parts of the myths reference 'real things' in their universe a lot of it is thirdhand at best and completely made up at worst. I think this is a great way to handle the myths existing in the MCU while also allowing the writers freedom to play with them, and I'm using all of that creative license.
