What is the Sun without it's Moon and Stars?

There had been two constants in Thor's life for as long as he could remember...

Loki was the moon to his sun....Anthony Stark their stars.....

And what was a sun without it's Moon and stars?

It was a darkness, filled with more shadows than even the realm Thor was standing in contained.

As he stared at the endless galaxies floating inside the being known as Eternity, he was reminded about how much the universe had taken from him.

What it had taken from them all.

After returning the God Butcher's lost daughter, the cosmic giant turned to him next.

" Thor Óðinsson, you may make a request of me as well...is there a soul you wish to be returned to the living?"

He wanted nothing more than to scream Loki and Anthony's names and have his loves returned....

But then he turned and saw the Valkyrie holding the lifeless body of Jane.

Dear,sweet, Jane, who'd sacrificed everything to help them, who made his friend feel something she thought she'd lost thousands of years ago......he couldn't let their story end like this. Thor was determined to grant them happiness.

Even at the cost of his own.

"Great cosmic being, I ask that you return Jane Foster to full health,and give her a lifespan to match that of an Ásgarðian."

The cosmos within Eternity shifted, and Jane's entire body became engulfed in a brilliant light. When it faded, she was once again whole and alive, looking up at Val with a confused expression.

"What happened? Did my catchphrase fall flat again?"

"There's nothing flat about you,"Val said as she brushed the hair out of Jane's eyes," my beautiful, badass, hammer-wielding Queen."

Then she kissed her, and everything around them was forgotten.

After dropping off the kidnapped Æsir children with their parents, Val and Jane took Gorr's daughter Love home with them, fulfilling a promise made to the dying man to take care of her.

Feeling like his job was complete, Thor  left the village and headed towards the Cliffside where he'd said goodbye to Óðin all those years ago.

Instead of being alone when he reached top, the Thunderer was greeted by two people waiting for him.

Two VERY familiar people.

"Loki? Anthony? Am I dreaming once more....or is it really you?"

"It's no dream, of that I can assure you."

"But how?!"

"Well here's the thing," Tony said as he pushed off the rock he was leaning against," Lokes and I were in Viking heaven, trying to prank that Robin Hood looking guy..."

"He means Fandral."

"Yeah,him, anyways....we were setting up this prank when this giant solar system looking thing says they're bringing us back to life as a reward for you."

"I see....and are you angry with me, for interrupting your rest?"

"Of course not," Loki murmured before wrapping around one side of Thor while Tony wrapped around the other," we've missed you terribly."

"Yeah, Valhalla's great and all, but it's definitely not worth being there without you, Thunder Thighs."

He laughed at the ridiculous nickname he'd went far too long without hearing, then pressed his lips to each of his partners before squeezing them tightly.

With the moon and stars by his side, the sun  could shine once again.
