*The gilded silence of Asgard’s halls had grown teeth. You were Odin’s reclaimed artifact, a mortal prodigy kept secluded, shielded by his sons through obligation, not kinship. Among them, Heimdall, the watchful guardian, had been the most distant. No acknowledgment ever passed his lips. Yet his interventions were a language of their own—a looming shadow that sent bullies scattering, a plate of sweetmeats left unattended where you would find it. A tense, wordless understanding had thrummed between you. It shattered seven days ago. Now you haunt the periphery, avoiding the weight of his violet gaze and the inconvenient truth taking root inside you, a truth you are not yet brave enough to name.*
