I do not own any of this.

Hey all! So, long story short, I fell in love with Thor last spring. I'm not major superhero buff, but I do follow the movies. And I love, love, love Thor. Maybe even more than Superman, but that has yet to be decided. And then I saw The Avengers, which reinforced my love for Thor. Or maybe Chris Hemsworth. Actually, it's probably both.

I don't usually do AU's, but this idea came to me a couple days ago. It's a work in progress, so please bear with me. I know I'm working on other fanfictions, so this probably won't be updated regularly, just as a warning.

Plot:
Thor Odinson, god of thunder and heir to the throne of Asgard , has been betrayed by his brother, Loki. He is exiled from the Realm Eternal to wander in the dark abyss. However, due to a minor flaw in the Bifrost, Thor is instead sent to Midgard, where he encounters the human race.
Jane Foster, princess of Midgard and learned scholar, is being forced to marry someone she does not love. Despite her love for the man who raised her, and her sense of duty, her recklessness takes over and she runs away. What happens when fates collide and destinies are changed?

A Thor Fanfiction

Prologue

In an age of heroes and villains, of fair maidens and ice cold dragons, there lived a princess whose beauty was famed throughout the land. Her doe-like eyes were honest, and always alight with some sort of excitement. Her dark wavy hair and pale complexion was the envy of all those who saw her. She lived in a wondrous palace, filled with light, laughter, and love. People came from all around to see her sup from her table, where on many occasions she shared her plate with them, and left feeling content, for who could not love a princess whose kindness and goodwill surpassed her incredible beauty?

However, the princess did not fare well with the customary accomplishments of a lady. Instead of embroidery and dancing, she preferred to spend her time in the scholars' library. There she studied science, math, and astronomy. The Council of Elders did not agree with her spending so much time learning, but she, and the Regent, argued that the ruler of the kingdom should be learned in all subjects, be they womanly tasks, or knowledge of the stars.

And so, in the middle of her 17th birthday, Jane Foster, princess of Midgard continued her studies with the library, where she developed her own theories of science.

High above the heavens, there lived another, a god of thunder. He, so strong and wise, was heir to the throne of Asgard, the realm of the immortals. With The Warriors Three and the Lady Sif, the Crown Prince made a name for themselves as Asgard's mightiest heroes. None could defeat them in battle; in tournaments, they always came out on top.

The King and Queen were making preparations for the coronation of their eldest son, when disaster struck. The Frost Giants had attacked the armory and stolen the source of their power, the Casket of Ancient Winters. With war on the horizon, Odin and his queen made the decision to postpone the celebrations, and instead made ready for battle.

Their second son, the god of mischief, stood in the shadows and watched as his elder brother prepared to lead an army out to defeat their enemies. He offered helpful hints, and in return, received grateful glances and many heartfelt compliments from the god of thunder.

And so, a month after the Frost Giants had declared war, Thor Odinson, god of Thunder, led an army through the Bifrost towards an unknown future.

I know this was really short, and I apologize for that. In case you haven't noticed, I've kept some of the original plot intact. The only difference is the setting and some minor plot changes. I will say that this will go beyond the movie, and in another direction.

I can't say when I will update next, but PLEASE don't hate me if some time passes by. Summer's nearly here, so hopefully I can get a head start, but until then, PLEASE bear with me.

And don't forget to review!

Much love,
