FAIRY LORE | LADY SIF

i. SYNOPSIS

i. SYNOPSIS.

The history of Asgard is long and convoluted, and yet, when every Asgardian child reaches a particular age, they are expected to be able to recite it verbatim. What is shown in their books is what the victors have written down, tales of Odin Borson and events of grandeur that paint him in a golden light. Much like the murals he prides himself in funding-commissioning local artisans, helping the economic welfare of his Kingdom, he says.

It is nothing but delusion. An ego of a man, not a god.

Sigrún has little patience when it has anything to do with her King. Ah, former King, seeing it as she's been banished, tossed out like refuse, and left to roam the realms in search of a new home.

The only reason she leaves without a fuss is due to the shame she feels for her actions, for what she had done.

But home is not so easily replaced. First there is the arduous task of finding a family. Becoming accustomed, becoming one. Acclimating herself is something she's found hard, even in Asgard.

Back then, she had her father to rely on. Back then, if kids picked on her, she could always go running to him. She doesn't have that anymore either. He's dead, and he cannot help her now. Not that she would ever ask him to, she's had her moments of utter selfishness, but she could never gather the courage to ask him to leave with her.

This is her cross to bear; besides, Asgard has never truly felt like home. The only place her heart truly belongs is in battle, alongside her beloved sisters-in-arms-the Valkyries.

That feeling of adrenaline is what she has been chasing ever since, like a cat chases a mouse, like a wolf chases a rabbit, she chases this. Only to end up cast away entirely, into a realm all on her own, strange and eery and home.

Home because the woman who finds her happens to look exactly like the painting of the woman in her father's locket. Her Mother, the ever-elusive figure has found her at last and she hasn't aged a day.

iii. NOTES.

August 3rd, 2026
Originally posted in like 2020, and I feel really nostalgic and looking back on this fic, it was probably one of the ones I liked writing for the most LOL so it's back!

Actually planned this out, this time around, so I am trying to finish it... 😸

Anyways, I'm attempting to write a slow burn or something #wlw lady sif x oc

Okay, IMPORTANT NOTE TIME! Takes place in my Earth-49 universe, (read more about it on my side account / EATINGTHERICH)-but basically it's non-canon compliant to the MCU and will be taking inspiration from some comic runs #maybe (which will be credited at the end of various chapters if that is the case!).

Side Note: This story's graphics are best enjoyed in dark mode!

Enjoy!
