How to Capture a Space Viking

(Or, what might have happened after the Stuttgart battle in Avengers Assemble.)*

Loki kept his hands slightly raised and held himself very still to reassure the mortals of his surrender. He knew if he made any sudden moves they would attack, and he didn’t want to have to kill them; he needed them alive. He cultivated a docile expression, not saying a word.

Tony lifted his visor, giving Loki a shrewd look. “I suppose there’s no point in cuffing him if he’s one of those super-strong space vikings Coulson wouldn’t shut up about.” He gave Cap a side-eyed look. “Do you even carry handcuffs, Mr. America?”

Cap resisted the urge to roll his eyes and didn’t look away from the enemy for a second. “It’s Captain America. And why would I? I’m a soldier, not a cop.” In his peripheral view, he caught Tony Stark’s shrug, a gesture emphasized by the weighty but stunningly flexible, cherry-red suit of armor encasing him.

Tony smirked, “Well, you never know. It’s always the goody-goody types who secretly keep a pair in the bedside drawer.” He lifted an eyebrow at Loki to see if he could get a rise out of him. Nothing. He couldn’t get a read on this stone-faced alien yet.

Tony cast a quick glance around them. Most of the crowd Loki had terrorized in the Stuttgart city square was dispersing, but the stupidest of the herd had actually begun to converge in an uneven circle around the scene, staring at all three of the combatants.

“Yeah,” he stated, “we gotta get Stonehenge here outta this place before some krautenheimmer tries to take a potshot at him. Natasha, hon, are you listening?”

“I don’t take orders from you, Stark.” Black Widow’s voice rang over the speakers of the quinjet, still hovering high above. “Orders, Cap?”

Steve barely blinked, eyes glued warily on Loki as he replied through his comm. “Can you land safely anywhere near here, Miss?” His mind was racing through the options. He had studied the map of the area on the flight over; of course there was no landing strip in the middle of the city. But wasn’t there a playing field in the vicinity? Would the pilot have enough space to land there?

It would be a tough march though—even if the SHIELD agent could find a landing space within half a click, Steve would have to find some way to contain the threat throughout the journey. He daren’t underestimate this alarmingly strong criminal in this foreign city full of vulnerable citizens. He calculated that Iron Man’s blasters would have killed a normal man. So what would it take to kill Loki?

Well, if the fellow was even hurt, he was doing a good job of hiding it. The black-haired villain wasn’t even breathing hard after their combat, while Cap himself was aching everywhere. Despite his own superpowers, Loki had thrown him around like a ragdoll.

Steve hadn’t been outmatched in a fight since—well, 1943. It made him feel like a scrawny kid again, and that was a feeling he dreaded. Steve forced down those feelings, staring his enemy right in the eyes. This opponent might be stronger than even him, but that had never stopped Cap from fighting the good fight.

The local polizei would be showing up en-masse any second now, interfering in dangerous matters they couldn’t understand and wouldn’t believe. Cap barely believed any of this himself, despite what he’d seen. Fury had insisted this intruder was an alien—the kind from another planet, but he didn’t look like a character in any Saturday matinee serial Steve had seen in the old days. Cap couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that aliens actually existed—but it didn’t matter. Loki had said he was there to conquer the human race, and he actually might have the means to do it. That was all Cap needed to know.

In the time it took Cap to sort through these thoughts, Natasha had initiated a landing sequence right in the middle of the square. When he realized what the red-headed agent was doing, Steve bit back the impulse to warn her off. He’d only just met the Black Widow, but of one thing about her was absolutely certain: she was capable.

Steve grit his teeth and held his tongue while Natasha vertically landed the futuristic craft only a few yards from where they stood, as smoothly as if she were parking a car.

Steve couldn’t help admiring the maneuver. In 1945 (only days ago to him), he could never have guessed this kind of technology was possible, even having witnessed firsthand cutting-edge science in Dr. Erskine and Red Skull’s labs. Steve was adapting quickly to this new age, but there was a first for everything.

Beside him, Loki politely cleared his throat. Steve’s eyes darted to the dubious prisoner. He then realized he’d looked away, at the quinjet, despite his determination to not let down his guard. He raised his shield tighter to his chest, eyeballing the troublemaker.

Had Loki cleared his throat deliberately to call Cap’s attention back to himself? Loki was still standing in the same position, now innocently looking around. Was there a trace of a smirk in his eyes? Steve clenched his razor-sharp jaw. Even if he hadn’t read the file on Loki, he could testify that there was nothing innocent about this character.

A noise from the gathering crowd alerted him to another risk.

“Stark, grab that spear before someone picks it up.” He pointed to Loki’s scepter, discarded on the bricks nearby.

“I don’t take orders from you, Captain Kid.” Tony snarked, but he trotted over to retrieve the thing quickly, hiding his nerves behind a litany of complaints under his breath. He wasn’t thrilled to be working with this anachronism personified, but the captain was right. A scared crowd could turn on a dime into an angry mob. They needed to leave.

“Nothing to see here!” He waved vaguely in the direction of the onlookers. “Go on back to your hausfraus and schnitzel or whatever!”

He gave the scepter a solid look, closing his visor. “Okay Jarvis, what’ve we got.”

The cool British voice of Iron Man’s AI in his earphones was usually calming, even in the midst of a firefight—but then Tony was more comfortable in a firefight than at the center of an angry mob, with an unknown quantity like Loki to contain, and only a relic like Grandpa Spangles for backup.

“It’s an unknown metal, sir, or shall I say, metals.” Jarvis intoned. “The central blade is precisely twenty-six point three centimeters in length, formed in a sickle shape reminiscent of the Soviet symbol or the curved blade of an Ancient Egyptian khopesh, though I cannot speculate as to whether any symbolism is intended, given that the entire construction is of extraterrestrial origin.” Supporting statistics rolled before Tony’s eyes on the display under his visor.

“That’s nice, Jarvis, but right now all I need to know is if it will kill me to touch it.” Tony glanced at a small glowing dot in the upper left of his display and the interactive tech correspondingly enlarged the dot into a rearview image captured by a tiny camera at the back of his suit.

Behind him, the Walking Flag and the Space Goth were staring at each other, both still standing alert, balanced on the balls of their feet. Not even the quinjet’s cargo door, opening nearby, attracted their attention.

“I’m unable to determine that, sir.”

Tony gave the disembodied AI a skeptical look. “What’s that supposed to mean?” He demanded.

“The object at the center of the blade array contains an unknown energy signature.” Jarvis calmly responded. “I have never seen data remotely like this. I’m unable to discern what this object is, much less anticipate what it may be capable of.”

Tony felt a cold bead of sweat trickle down his spine.

“Please be careful with that.” Loki piped up behind him, speaking for the first time in Tony’s presence. “It’s quite sharp.”

Tony turned and gave Loki a hard look, as if the alien could see his face.

Loki smiled cooly back at the expressionless metal mask, a thousand years of practiced diplomacy having taught him how to calm agitated primitives like these.

Tony was finding this spaceman more antagonizing every minute. First, he seemed awfully composed for someone who’d been hit with the full power of Iron Man’s blasters just moments ago; second, the dude had just unexpectedly surrendered, without a word; third, he’s dressed like Irish Dracula; and fourth, his voice is way too smooth, soothing, and deep. Based on the guy’s witchy looks, Tony might have expected shrill-voiced threats or evil cackling. Instead, this dude sounded like a therapist asking “how does that make you feel?” It was unnerving.

“What are you guys doing? Come on!” Natasha stood just outside the cargo bay of the quinjet, waving them over. She pointed out the spinning lights of polizei vehicles approaching from three of the streets that opened onto the public square.

Loki leaned back on his heels, hands still up, waiting. He masked a glance at the local law enforcement now arriving on the scene. He didn’t want them. His plan required the Iron Man and Captain America to take him into their custody. If the Man of Iron didn’t make a move soon, Loki would regrettably be forced to commit more violent actions.

Cap was conflicted. Despite his super hearing, he could barely hear anything said over the quinjet’s roaring engine and the police sirens. He was battered and exhausted, but the job wasn’t done. He belatedly realized he’d sent Stark to get the spear without considering whether the alien object might have the same type of power as the Tesseract, which had disintegrated Red Skull on contact.

Cap wouldn’t send his worst soldier out to do something he himself wasn’t willing to do. But Loki still seemed to be the more dangerous of the two threats, despite his polite equanimity. And Stark had about 100 pounds of metal between him and the strange weapon, so what was his problem?

“Pick it up, let’s go, Stark!” He grated, daring to reach out for Loki’s arm, half expecting the dark figure to make a false move.

Loki looked down at Cap’s hand on his arm and said nothing, though his eyes flashed with disdain. Cap shoved down an uncomfortable twinge of alarm.

“Screw it.” Tony muttered. Fortune favors the bold. He grabbed the stick of doom in a firm grip an turned to head for the quinjet. If he felt a strange surge of power roll up his arm and through his body, he ignored it. There would be time to analyze this detail later.

Rushing back to Cap and Loki, Tony jerked his head toward the quinjet. “Hey soldier boy, you and Edward Scissorhands can make goo-goo eyes at each other later. We gotta split.”

Steve was unimpressed with Stark’s cavalier attitude. He gave Loki’s arm a tug, nonetheless. “Let’s go, mister.” Under his palm, Loki’s arm was not exceptionally thick, but it was hard as steel.

Loki paused just for a millisecond; just long enough to demonstrate that Cap’s tug wasn’t enough to move him in the slightest, but that he was cooperating.

Cap got the message, loud and clear. He kept his expression neutral, keeping his grip on Loki’s arm as they approached the quinjet.

Black Widow watched Iron Man and Captain America approach and enter the quinjet, betraying nothing in her expression. She focused on the Asgardian without looking directly at him.

To be honest, this wasn’t her first encounter with an alien. She was a SHIELD agent. She knew of several extraterrestrial species, based on secret encounters she would never speak of outside the chain of command.

This one was different. This one was the kind she had prepared for from her first day with the agency. He didn’t come in peace. He was powerful in ways no one but Coulson had seen before. This one was an alpha-level threat, and she was compelled to seek out his weakness. Everyone had a weakness.

Natasha could tell a lot about a person from their appearance; the way they held themselves, their gait, even their micro-expressions. The impression she got of Loki, Prince of Asgard, was discomfiting—even before he glanced at her and gave her a knowing wink.

Clint’s face flashed before Natasha’s eyes. A sick feeling overtook her.

The Widow turned swiftly on her heel to return to the cockpit, never meeting Loki’s impertinent gaze. So, he’d detected her watching him, despite her subtle trick. She needn’t acknowledge his perception. Tony and the captain seemed to have him well enough in hand for the moment, and, if not, she knew better than to think she could take Loki on herself.

What she could do was get this craft off the ground and 10,000 feet in the air; maybe at that altitude the alien aggressor would think twice before attempting a surprise attack. With a swift gesture, she punched the control to close the cargo door and gracefully slipped into the pilot’s seat, forcing herself not to worry about Hawkeye. Now that they had Loki as their prisoner, she’d find out where to find Clint—one way or another.

Steve pulled (or, rather, led) Loki to a seat in the side of the quinjet, and Loki obediently sat. Wordlessly, Steve began strapping the prisoner in for the flight, his motions more forceful than was necessary, as Loki gave no resistance.

Cap realized the restraints wouldn’t hold the Asgardian, should he choose to attack, but untangling himself would surely slow Loki down, at least long enough to give them warning. Hopefully, between Stark and himself, and with Loki without his weapon, that would be enough to contain him. Cap allowed himself to feel a tiny thread of relief as he pulled the last strap tight.

Loki couldn’t resist showing the slightest curl of his lip as the mortal handled him roughly. The intensity in the captain’s expression, the sharply clenched jaw, and the hint of satisfaction in his cerulean eyes as he pulled the last restraint unnecessarily tight piqued Loki’s interest. Perhaps there was more to this Captain America than the straight-arrow soldier he’d been told to expect. Perhaps the Man of Iron’s teasing comment about restraints earlier was more puissant than he’d realized. Loki held back a laugh, schooling his expression to resigned complacency.

The Man of Iron sauntered past the captain, still holding Loki’s scepter, perfectly balanced in his heavy suit, despite the motion of the now swiftly rising quinjet. He’d lifted his visor, showing his face again, and Loki felt, rather than saw, the scepter’s disruptive influence seeping into the mortal. Loki felt a corresponding ache to hold the scepter again, himself. He contained it.

The captain stepped back from Loki and nearly crashed into Tony.

“Stark, stow that thing somewhere before someone gets poked in the eye.”

Tony was chewing gum now, a sugary banana-strawberry flavored chunk he’d pulled from some imperceptible recess in his suit.

“Are you hard of hearing, old man?” Stark squawked. “I don’t take orders from defrosted science experiments.” His tone was unnecessarily provocative. Cap felt an instantaneous urge to clock the irreverent strongman. He stared Tony down, a biting remark on the tip of his tongue. Tony stared back at him, clearly amused.

“Belay that testosterone, gentlemen.” Natasha sharply called out over the roar of the quinjet engine from the cockpit area. “Tony, there’s a cabinet behind my seat that should fit.”

Tony chewed a few bites of his gum before responding, then seemed almost to wake from a daydream. “Yeah, sure. Not a problem, Nat.” He finally intoned, shuffling over to the metal lockbox. If he felt reluctant to put down the spear it was only because the weapon would certainly be the most effective option if Nosferatu over there got any ideas.

Loki took note of Tony Stark’s hesitation and knew full well from whence it arose. So—despite his hardened exterior, Stark was easily susceptible to the power of the scepter. His vulnerability to weapon’s influence was not surprising; Loki had anticipated this much, knowing how weak these mortals were.

What interested Loki about Stark’s reaction was the contained hostility toward his compatriot that the scepter had revealed. A palpable, deeply rooted resentment had gleamed in Stark’s eyes for that moment, something that went deeper than personal dislike. Loki wondered what that might be about.

Between the Black Widow’s attempts to shadow her heart, the captain’s unexpected inner turmoil, and the Iron Man’s molten interior, Loki was pleased to find these mortal heroes worthy of his interest. Perhaps later, assuming they survived, there would be time to explore all that lay hidden in the minds and hearts of these defenders of Midgard.

You ever think about how "if you were here, I'd hug you"//"I'm here" is effectively the end of Thor and Loki's 6 movie emotional arc of death and conflict and loss and heartbreak and literal apocalypse, like they have to sacrifice their literal planet--

Like, stories are about endings, ultimately. There's the journey, but in a story, the end is the moral point: people get what they work for; people get what they deserve.

Thor and Loki's story was about empire and family and ambition and power and the questions of who they are, in the bigger sense, in the world they inhabit, but also who they are, internally, to themselves and to each other

Thor's story ends in Loki's arms. Loki's story ends in Thor's.

Can I come home, Thor asks in 2011

I'm here, Loki answers in 2017

#thorki's storyline was always explicitly about homes and homecomings #thor1: thor and loki are banished from their home; thor returns; loki does not #avengers1: thor tries to bring loki back to their home; loki does not recognise thor's home as his anymore #thor2: thor cannot feel at home in asgard without loki and leaves; loki returns home but can only remain there as someone else #thor3: neither thor nor loki regard asgard as home anymore but nonetheless conflict over whether or not they have obligations to it; #in the end they realise home is a people not a place; they go home to each other #anyway have some incoherency as I wait for my bus #internal thor tag #thorki

You read my file. I could tell you some things not in your file. Such as? You follow the rules. You defer to your superiors even when you disagree and you don’t question them. If you do, it’s because you think there are lives at stake and you’re not willing to risk civilians because of orders. All right. Fair enough. But I do outrank you, so I’ll be giving the orders, Agent Romanoff. And I hope that if I disagree, you’ll listen to my concerns instead of ignoring me, Agent Kovac.

Loki x wife!Reader Headcanons [throughout the MCU]

Thor1 Loki: He's so soft soft baby TM and caring and always so sweet to you, in private or in public. Love is overflowing! Always kissing you and spoiling you. Not handsy but is always hand holding, or wraps arm around your waist. 2x Verbal Admiration than when he courted you. Favorite thing in the world is your blush and your laugh. You make him melt and he worships the ground you walk on. Gifts, LOTS of gifts. 

"i don't deserve you, y/n."  "If You don't deserve me, no one else does." 

💕How is the love-making?: Soft and Full of emotion! Worships your body; worships You. He'll make you understand why it's called love-making. Frequent eye contact because he loves getting lost in your eyes. Asgard who? (Odin has to forbid you from seeing Loki at work hours because it distracts him😂)

Avengers1 Loki: won't even look you in the eye, ignores your presence like his heritage. When you do manage to get a word with him, he'll Loki-talk you (i.e. vague words with ambiguous meanings that can be interpreted any way) into thinking he's been cheating on you (LIES). Not even a decent answer. Refuses to give you anything but his ire. 

"You still think me a lovesick puppy, girl?"  "My husband is a God who's just deeply devoted to his wife! Who are you and what have you done to him!?"  "Tut tut, my darling Lorelei -oh wait, that's not Your name." *smirks evilly and vanishes* 

💕Um.. love-making..?: most probably not, he's busy being Villain TM. But if you do manage to, he'll end up leaving you unsatisfied or humiliated, tossing you away like a rag doll -anything to make you think he's a bad guy (He's not. But you have to, otherwise The Other might hurt you too.)

TDW Loki: he'd still keep up the A1 facade and if you still want him, he'll be mean and act borderline disrespectful, claiming it's your duty as his wife. But in reality, he only wants to hurt you because spending the rest of his life locked up will be easier with you hating him. Looks at you longingly from his cell with an inexplicable sadness in his eyes, but will aboslutely deny it. 

"I know you wouldn't invade Midgard simply for power. I know you are above that, Loki."  "It is 'my Prince' to you. And, I'd rather you stick to your duties as just my wife." 

💕Smut?: Sure, if you hide it from Odin's knowledge. Lots of degradation, though. You can see the apology on his face, feel the desperation on his touch and hear the veiled sadness is his piercing words. His body language is begging you to stay, yearning for you and hoping you'd understand. Once it's over, he won't even look at your eyes knowing if he does, he can't be mean to you. What hurts him should make him stronger. 

TR Loki: After he shockingly discovered his mysterious survival, he ran back to the palace in search of you. But got to Odin first and.. y'know. He's successfully avoided any romance with you thanks to his disguise, but yearning is on the double when he sees the depth of your devotion. 

"All-Father, I wish to petition a statue on my... late husband's behalf. Of him, of what he's done for Asgard."  "He's a traitor and a convict."  "Who gave his life in atonement. It was a misguided atte-"  "Misguided!? Is that what you call acting against the Hlidskjalf? He invaded Midgard and took innocent lives!"  "And paid for it with his own. I beg your reconsideration, All-Father."  *After a long, scrutinizing pause* "The council will decide." "T-thank you, All-Father."  *Loki as Odin looks at you bow and retreat, sadness in his eyes* 'Oh, my love, how do you still love me after all I've done to you?' 

After evading death by planetary destruction and back in the Statesman hale, healthy and alive, he makes up for earlier. You refuse to accept, still feeling bitter, but Loki has his ways ;) 

💕How so? 👀: As I said, making up. For dayyyys. Lots of apologizing, lots of begging and even the occasional spanking. Many, many rounds even. Thor is quite concerned. Wait, why is Loki carrying you everywhere, can't you wal- OH. 

IW Loki: If you thought you knew how much he loves you (in Thor1), oh baby, you're about to be proven wrong. F*cking killed Thanos in, like, 2 seconds max. All it took was Big Ugly Grape-head to see you and give a creepy smile, the next minute he's lying headless on the ground, his army dissipating into dust. 

"The tesseract or yo-" *gets decapitated by Loki* 

❓And the love-making?: .... uh, doubtful.. Thor is busy choking your husband about why the f*ck he didn't say anything of having the tesseract. (Seriously, Thor, how else did you think he survived a planetary level destruction!? *exasperated sigh*) 

And you lived happily ever after <3 

The end. 💚

I hate when ppl call og thor (thor 1/avengers1) boring !! he wasn't boring!! he was an alien prince who'd been groomed to be king who spoke in a shakespearan accent and thought u could ride a dog into battle and was a bit cocky and a lil boisterous and a lot dangerous whose moods changed as fast as the weather and loved to party but was still so quick to laugh and smile! he was so genuine and kind & along for the ride! he wasn't edgy or terribly witty or “cool” and that was ok.

#idk I like the newer thor too but ...... I think he's to mean? in a way? #older thor was just so nice idk #thor

[beheworthy]

You talked about Thor being protective of pregnant Jane or his children (based on Thor1?), here comes Taika and puts Freyja in a battle with baby Thor, Thor putting the kids of new Asgard to fight without worrying and putting the Gorr's daughter in a war.

I… I didn't even realize this!!!!

That's just how I perceive him - that he's super protective of people. Yes, in the first film: focussing on getting everyone in the town to safety, covering Jane when she was sleeping, covering her with his jacket.

And in the second film, he went into complete overdrive because Jane was sick. I made three different gifsets of him being overprotective of her, ready to screw people up if they even dare come near her and obsessing over curing her illness.

Even in Avengers1, he jumps to protect Natasha from Hulk without thinking about it.

But of course, Waititi strikes again. Why does he turn all his amazing traits into literal opposites, I will never understand. Even sullying his mum's character this time, I see.

Anyway, Thor would be super protective of Jane and their babies and that's that.

I come here humbly asking your opinion on the older Loki movies: (thor1, avengers1, tdw)?

lol hello!!

I think they fuck. the newer stuff with loki wouldn't be as good as it is without the older loki stuff!! it sets the foundational building blocks for the loki we get in ragnarok and endgame and loki series and I loveeee that weasely little frost giant

i watched thor when loki s1 was out to refresh myself on the loki origin and like,, bro really just wanted to feel like part of the family it's like you're classic (kind of toxic) family dynamics except More because hello they're gods with magic powers (FOR YOU!!! FOR ALL OF US!!!!)

loki was the BEST GUY AROOUUUNDDD whAT MURDAAASSSS

(I love that you called the thor movies the older loki movies I love that)

in conclusion

we stan this bisexual genderfluid morally gray chaos god from start to finish peace and love

#anons #asks #answers #loki #loki series #seriously I enjoy loki sm since thor1 and onward

[galaxythreads]

omg this is a weird ask but i too became fascinated with loki after noticing all his trauma which was unaddressed! I watched t3 and avengers1-4 (im a late and new MCU fan) and never really cared about loki, it wasnt until i watched the loki series and the first episode showed clips of him in t1 and t2 (parts of him that i never knew existed) that i started thinking hmm maybe I should watch t1 and t2 and then i did!! and now this lil prince can never leave my mind 🥺 he as a character makes so much more sense if u watched t1 and t2, the complexity and different layers... *chef's kiss*

I feel like Loki was definitely a more complex character in 2011-2013 and that was really fun to explore, so I get you. The mind control thing is definitely always fun to poke at.

[thortwenty151]

Listen the first time we see the helicarrier in Avengers1 remains one of my favorite uses of sxf in superhero movies ever. The music, the plot progression, the visuals? A+, at least as far as this cross faded marvel geek says anyway

[lerry-hazel]

A random fic idea: “Loki”, of all things (the actual not-story )

I’d start with firmly establishing we’re dealing with Avengers1-era Loki:

young, unstable, trying single-handedly to sabotage Thanos’s invasion (since, you know, I like my favourite characters having functioning brain and didn’t appreciate canonical confirmation “that” was his actual plan).  

He’d had to resort to letting Hulk wipe the floor with him, as, damn his thick Jotun scull, no one else had managed to knock him unconscious, and he’s cracking silly jokes because he can’t remember the last time he ate or slept, so everything a little funny.

He’s handcuffed and muzzled, and he understands the need to put on a show for the Midgardians, and it’s not like his oafish brother knows how to activate the actual binding runes, but he’s starting to wonder why Thor had brought Asgardian restraints in the first place.

Some pompous mortal steps in front of them and starts blatantly manipulating Thor into giving up the Tesseract, and Thor is falling for it. Luckily, one of Thor’s mortal friends collapses, thus creating a distraction, but then it starts looking serious, and Loki wonders if he’ll be able to help, since he remembers that one had some kind of machine protecting his heart, but Thor just pushes by, without even asking what to do, and tries to fix delicate technology with his stupid hammer, and suddenly Loki realises his brother doesn’t realise it was all a game and truly believes them to be enemies.

So, when the Tesseract lands at his feet, he doesn’t miss the chance.

Loki lands in the Goby desert and considers what would be the safe vs the responsible thing to do. Just as he’s about to destroy the Tesseract for good, he is attacked by some other weird humans in freaky costumes. Loki lunges for the Tesseract, knowing that (by whatever bullshit explanation canon didn’t bother to provide) while it remains on Earth, Thanos can’t just come and get it. However, he’s, once again, overpowered and starts having a meltdown.

Thus, when he is put on trial and out of context videos suggest he’d sent an assassin after his mother, cut off Thor’s hand etc., he’s ready to accept he’s meant to turn evil and can just as well cease to exist, but one of the agents approaches him and talks him into hunting truly dangerous “variants” instead.

Little by little Loki starts to realise the agent kinda looks familiar, and, once the agent mentions his fascination with archery, it becomes clear why. Loki reads his memories, and sees Hawkeye about to break the mind-controlling Specter in rage.

Further investigation shows all the agents are variants yanked from the moment of time where they were about to destroy an Infinity Stone (cameo of fat Thor and/or golden-haired Sif?). And, once they finally get a chance to meet the “evil” variant face to face, Loki himself appears: huge, blue and fully Jotun.

Jotun-Loki explains he was about to destroy Aether on Svartalfheim, when he was grabbed, put on trial, and shown videos of future him causing Ragnarök and eventually giving the Tesseract to Thanos, so he made the same choice of staying away and working for TWA. But one day he decided to check how his family was doing, and discovered his entire timeline was just gone, so now he is sort of trying to figure out which nexus event might make it reappear (although he’s pretty sure it’s pointless, so it’s mostly just revenge).

Long story short, the two of them (plus unbrainwashed Hawkeye and whoever else you want on the team) decide to figure out what’s the point of the whole conspiracy.

They get to the end of time, past the beast, into the castle, – and find Dr. Strange, weird-eyed and manic.

You see, the Time Stone doesn’t magically give you knowledge of every possible outcome: it just rewinds time. So, simple Maths suggests, if he had spent one minute observing every one of 14,000,605 possible outcomes, it should have taken him close to 27 years. And the one winning plan didn’t even start unfolding until five years had passed. Moreover, different futures don’t spring out randomly, if you want a different result, you need to change something. Hence TVA, dipping into Dark Dimension and feeding unpromising timelines to Dormammu.  

Having considered all the implications carefully, Loki(s) suggest Strange is too clinical in his approach, and why not let a little bit of chaos into his tightly controlled experiment.

Hence the rat that saved them all.

Which, unfortunately, would imply the events of “Avengers: Final” actually make sense, but that’s a problem for another story :-P

Ok I've done this thing so subtly that I wasn't even aware I had done it but--

You know how in the MCU canon, the space stone is inexplicably on earth for like, no godly fuckin reason I can think of. It's the mcguffin in captain america1 and like shield has it in possession by avengers1 etc etc nobody cares

So what I did, or I guess, what my brain did, was decide "this is fuckin stupid and makes no sense, I'm gonna rewrite this and not tell ANYBODY about it until tumblr user kinnoth is forced to explain to somebody in casual conversation what she thinks happened in avengers1, where she will promptly be outed as a fake fangirl when her recounting of events just....does not bear out to the canon"

Bc I stg my brain mandela effect'd itself to be like:

The space stone is on Asgard and has always been on Asgard. It powers the bifrost; without the power to be wherever they want to be in an instant, the Aesir could have never built their empire. Loki knows the space stone as "the tesseract" which is how the aesir call it.

When he is captured and worked over by Thanos&friends, he learns that Thanos is looking for the infinity stones. He makes a deal with Thanos: release him, and Loki will retrieve for him the space stone. Odin's vault only allows entry to the royal family, and Loki is still a member of that royal family. Thanos agrees. He gives Loki the mind stone so that it will continue to hold Loki to his brainwashing in Thanos' absence.

He sends Loki back to Asgard and Loki does for him as he promised bc Loki is still under mind stone influence. Loki is caught, probably by Thor, but before they can have it out, Loki escapes using the space stone to earth -- appearing through a portal that Nick fury and Erik selvig have opened bc they are building mechanisms based off of the research Jane foster&friends were doing back in thor1. Earth has been sealed off by Odin since the end of the war with the frost giants; Loki is here to break that seal so that the armies of Thanos can come and claim the 4 of 5 infinity stones currently on earth.

The bifrost now nonfunctional, Thor begs Odin for passage to earth to give chase to his brother's ghost. Shortly after loki arrives, Thor follows"

Anyway, how has your brain made you look like a fool lately

Loki and Thor both were the same age! Stop saying that Loki was way younger than Thor. It was literally said in the movie that they were the same age. So it's canon.

And it technically means that if Loki was 16 in Thor1 or avengers1, then Thor was sixteen as well!
