    Summary

    [Sokka is five when the first mark appears. 

    It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.

    When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments. 

    “Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”

    Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.

    A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]

    Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

    Summary

    This story takes place just after the first Thor movie and is a play on the legend of Loki having his lips sewn shut.
    Loki discovers his true lineage and to keep him from telling anyone and embarrassing the royal family, Odin has Thor hold him as he takes his voice from him.Then to further silence him, he attempts to take his magic as well. Loki breaks free and flees to earth, alone and unable to speak outside of using sign language, he forms an unusual alliance with one of Earth's guardians.

    Steve sees the same handsome young man every day but communication could be an issue. Good thing he has Clint available to teach him sign language. Though he'll come to find that a lot of things are different about his new friend and not just his inability to speak.

    Loaded with fluffy fluff, a bit of whump, and just a sprinkling of angst, also I turned Loki into a precious cinnamon bun because he never had to deal with Thanos, or the Chitari, and also because I can. I assumed that at least some of the Avengers would be teamed up for other reasons by then, so yeah, we're going with that.
