This story voiced by TheRavenFox is at the top of the Hall of Fame audio stories on Literotica and I can see just why. TheRavenFox is a consummate professional and her audio tracks are in a class above much of what's available on what is an amateur site. We are jolly lucky that she likes recording so much she is willing to put up free tracks on Literotica and also Reddit's Gone Wild Audio. It's not just the title of this story that is 'perfect'!
This particular story was written by Steady and posted on Gone Wild. Originally it was an M4F story but TheRavenFox naughtily asked if she could voice it, and when Steady offered to re-write it as F4M, she said she wanted an F4F. I have personally long recognised the erotic potential of Loki, the prospect of a female Loki seemed totally delicious! and so it proved to be ....
There are
many elements to Perfect which make
it a sure-fire winner on Literotica. Literotica is a site where the technical
abilities of fine writing (wink – no, seriously, LOL) are genuinely
appreciated, although quick ‘n dirty also has
its audience there. TheRavenFox’s use of music and sound effects provides a
professional polish to what is already an excellent story. I am with one
commentator who said the music went on a little too long at the start although
on second hearing (*cough cough*, I have to do these things for professional
purposes!) I enjoyed it more. The backing music is filmic, and does help you
picture the grandiose hall in which Loki is presumably sitting when
the young warrior maiden rushes in.
Another reason why Literotica fans will enjoy Perfect is that this is an excellent fanfic story. Steady writes with good background knowledge of Loki, one of the Marvel Comic characters which cross generations to appeal to older fans for whom the comics were cult pleasures and a wider audience who have recently got into the films. There is a delicious moment, which I will just spoil for you – skip to the next paragraph, quick quick! LOL, when Loki contemplates the pleasure in emotions stored up in the "Mind-Killer" wand s/he has got hold of, and remarks: "Jealousy – so ... familiar." This provides a complacent chuckle for those who know Loki’s story.
In some ways this is a classic erotic tale in which the inner self of the central character is revealed to them through a (re)-discovery of sexuality. TheRavenFox’s appropriation of this story makes hers a more interesting version than the original version might have been (the original is no longer up online to compare). The inner self of Odin's chief bodyguard Salrana is soft, feminine, submissive under her hard iron-helmed exterior. Where a dominant male Loki might have made the story a sexist denial of Salrana’s achievements in a masculine world, TheRavenFox as female Loki can bring out the pathos of lines like: “My petty needs could not come before those of the realm.” The soft and feminine self, opposed to ‘the scars, the discipline and the warrior’s code’, is problematic when it’s being brought back to consciousness for the pleasure of a domineering male protagonist: “Submit to me, woman. Know your place beneath me.” When a woman warrior god is bringing consciousness of her softer side to a woman warrior who has sacrificed herself for ‘the realm’, a more complex politics is at play.
“Your lust is at the forefront now,” Loki(ess) says, however Salrana has not been changed. Salrana’s hard exterior self is restored to her at the end of the story, we can understand that she has indeed been ‘perfected’, given back her own sexuality. In a world where women’s sexuality is frequently sacrificed so we may put others’ needs first, this becomes a liberating moment – as the domination of a proper Domme ought to offer for the Sub.
TheRavenFox has a fabulous Dominatrix voice. Even the manner in which she tells you the rules for entering her website make this an erotic experience instead of instructional. I shall be reviewing quite a few more of her recordings on here! although it may take a little while, as I have to listen to them several times in order to do them full justice (wink).

(NB I mean to have a look round Gone Wild Audio and check out stories on that site to review. I will come back with links to it when I have a better sense of how it works.)

I am so flattered and thrilled over your review! I'm glad you enjoyed the audio, firstly. The way you took the time to honestly understand the piece as more than a quick "stroker," (of course, those have their place in erotic audio as well!) was actually MOVING. I feel like wiping a tear from my cheek and saying "Your really get me!" LOL
I was particularly pleased with your deep insight about women's sexual needs. WOW! Down with slut-shaming, body shaming, etc all for the sake of keeping women in their safe, repressive little boxes. Sexual pleasure should never be a "bonus" or an afterthought and women need to claim their rightful place as equal sexual beings whose pleasure matters just as much as their male counterparts' pleasure!

Thank you again, Naoko! I am walking on air. :)
I want to say thank you for your great stories!
You are very welcome for the review. I love it that people write stories which have these excellent inner meanings and I love to show how they work.
