[The video turns on with Lucy smiling and then giving the camera a wave.]

I know it's a bit late, but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day.

Also, all the Valentine's Day chocolate should be marked down, perfect time to get a lot of chocolate and candy.

[The video feed ends there, but she is a clever girl and thought this would be a better way to address those she left a valentine's day card and various candies for.]

For Emma

For Victor

For Nico

For Jefferson

For Older Loki

For Stan

For Younger Loki

For Laura

[And for Ivar for when he comes back.]

I am familiar with that.

[ Loki, after all, has had many stories written about him. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Then you understand.

[ She looks up at him, offering a smile. ]

There’s always more to someone than what’s printed on paper. Things—stories that the writer didn’t capture. That’s how it was for my grandma, Regina. She’s known as the Evil Queen, but she’s come a long way from being that.

I have more than a passing familiarity with stories and the way they change.

[ Even if some labels stick. ]

[thestoriesarereal]

Then...you know how hard it is to change people's minds about something.

But, there is magic in my world, and those fairy tales are real.

[dothelokimotion]

Of course.

[ Some things last forever. ]

But it seems as though these people are not immortal. How did they survive for so long?
