Without a doubt the most well known story about the Nordic gods, mainly because it’s one of the first children are taught.
A jotun stole Thor’s hammer, and refused to give it back unless he got the goddess of love, Freya, as his wife. When Thor told her to get in her wedding dress and go marry the jotun, she got so angry that the whole world shook so they had to find another solution. Finally it was suggested that Thor dressed up as Freya instead. Thor of course protested but Loki, who apparently always thought men in women’s clothes was an awesome idea, convinced Thor by saying “And of course I’ll come with you as your brides maid” But Thor made an awful woman, and Loki had to save his ass time and time again and had to come with weak excuses as to why “Freya” was acting so manly. Finally Thor got his hammer, had a massive hissy fit and went home.
In this version however, it’s the owner of a drag club who has the hammer, so Thor and Loki has to dress up to sneak in and have a look around (Well, they didn’t have to be in drag, but Loki said they did and Thor had never been a place like that, so he just trusted Loki).
I remembered that story.... my dad got me a book with all kinds of myths (it's a beast of a book, but i treasure it like you have no idea) and I loved this one specially.
I like how these two are always the ones causing trouble in that pantheon...
Loki: *dancing in a dress* I feel pretty! Oh so pretty!
Captain America: Thor, please don't be offended by this, but...your brother is weird.
Thor: He always was a bit...odd.
Black Widow: A BIT odd?
Hawkeye: *filming Loki* I am so putting this on the Internet.
