A story that started on a What If? In this case, what would happen if Thor had been incarnated as James Potter, as a first run on that humility thing and had died doing it, going mad with grief in a form of GoneHorriblyRight combined with GoneHorriblyWrong, and Odin had had to wipe his memories.

So far, the answer appears to be a world of strange hijinks, [[WorldOfSnark constant snarking]], lots of badassery, evil plots, LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, creepy super zombies and Loki's incredible coffee making skills.

Manages to take a Mary Suish premise and turn it into something (so far) pretty good.
