Summary: Sif could wait for him, but she wasn't that type of woman.



She could have waited for him. She could have pined for him on the sidelines in longing.

But she was not that kind of woman.

Sif wore dresses for court, but she'd always wish for cool metal and the fitted material that moved fluidly against her curves. For her, there was a time for raising goblets, and there was a time for raising swords.

She could tell Thor that she loved him, that she always had, even before Loki's treachery, and during long warm summers when they trained together as children. She'd die for him; Thor already knew this.

Sif was anything but a fool. She would not wait for Thor to notice her. He longed for the mortal woman, Jane, and perhaps Sif was grateful to Jane in a way, for changing him for the better. But Jane was Thor's past, and Sif believed that she was Thor's future.

And if she told him, it would be under Sif's terms. They were training, and they were both bloody and dirty. Their bodies were numb from aches that would pain them tomorrow, and they were too tired to notice where the sweat ended and the blood began. Thor wanted this; he wanted her to fight him, to make him forget his agony, his longing for Jane. He might never see her again, and he knew this like a dagger that could not be freed from his heart.

But here, on the battlefield, Thor belonged to Sif. He rolled onto his back, catching his breath. Sif moved, covering him. He looked at her, surprised, but too winded to deny her.

It was Sif's time to make her move. She pressed her sore lips to his, stealing his breath.

He knew, as if he'd always known, that Sif loved him, like this, forever.

Oh I like how uncompromising she is! :) This is entirely her character to me. Direct and lovely and almost like a war strategy in the writing.

Thank you! I'm glad you think so about her character. :)

Wooooo yeah Thor/Sif! My fave pairing!
This is beautiful. Love it!

[quirkysmuse.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
It's a good pairing, a little under appreciated though. :3

Yes, that's for sure! I wish there was more of these two. It is canon in the comics, after all.

I love Thor/Sif in the comics. Their love is so amazing. I just read the series where Sif comes back into an old woman's body and Thor searches for her, and when he finds her and she gets her body back, it's just...GUH, so heart wrenching. Love them! I wish they had more intimacy in the movie.

This is great and Sif is such a HBIC!

First off, I wanna second what Mae_Stark said above.

Secondly, this is a fantastic fic. I absolutely love the way this fic plays out and how they come together.

Perfect way to do it by bringing them together on the battlefield.

Been quite a while since you posted this but stumbled upon it. Love it! I really like the Thor/Sif pairing and I'm sad that there's so little love for it in the movie fandom. :(

This fic was wonderfully written. I love that she just went for it. Great story!

Now that Thor 2 is coming out, I hope we get some Thor/Sif. :)
