Of the giants?—thou wise giant!
Surt from the south fares
With blazing flames;
From the sword shines
The sun of the war-god.
Rocks dash together
And witches collapse,
Men go the way to Hel
And the heavens are cleft.

THE FOOLING OF GYLFE., Chapter 4. The Prose Edda

And so it is. I imagine this is the result, finally, of the worlds collapsing in on one another. A refuge, and nothing more and nothing less, before it all begins again.

	Earths from parallel universes were being pulled towards each other, and upon collision, the universes they belong to are destroyed. I believe that this place is the result. I also believe that all of this constitutes one of the figurative winters before Gotterdammerung. I know you don't believe me... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The smart Stark brother playing the long game. Dracarys? Whatever. That's no match for Tony Stark, King in the ... what the hell is this again? An island where Loki thinks we're buddies.

	Kirimvose, Doc. I've been calling it, "The Island," but it's giving me LOST flashbacks. Did they have a name for the one in Lord of the Flies? I don't disagree with you, but I should probably note that I may not be every inch the Tony Stark you remember. (I think vertically, I have an extra four, so there's a marked increase in surface area.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It didn't have a name. But it had a place called Castle Rock. ... well, hell. Someone slipped me a mickey when I wasn't looking. It's nice to meet/not meet you, Stark. I am starting to wonder what sort of weight your opinion is to have with me, without the comfort of friendship. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Then Castle Rock sounds like a pretty good name for this place, particularly given the extremely serious Renaissance Fair that's happening on the outskirts of town.

It's... complicated.

I'm from a universe where I'm friendly with a Doctor Banner who looks quite different from you. I recently stole his ice cream, in fact. He told me it was from a little creamery in Texas, but I can't remember the name of it. And now I can't ask, which is disappointing. We also streaked through Midtown together. That was a good time.

Anyway. I was unexpectedly transported (via the tesseract) from that universe to another universe that was very much like mine, but where the Avengers were just starting out. There, we had a Doctor Banner who looked very much like you, and he and I were friendly. Although I did not think to ask him about the ice cream. That was an oversight.

Then a couple of weeks ago, I woke up here.
