This was absolutely fabulous - I loved seeing a Loki in captivity through Sherlock's eyes (or possibly in 'captivity', given the last time someone 'imprisoned' Loki on Earth).

I also loved the way these two characters clashed - how Sherlock's powers of observation do, indeed, even work on Loki, but how Loki in turn has the power to make Sherlock want to talk to him, to impress him, perhaps, even. Which he may or may not have succeeded in.

Thank you so very much for this lovely, shiny fun toy of a possibility!
