Lokius fic recs
I was requested to make a list of my lokius fic recs, so here are ten some that have lived in my brain rent free since i read them (in order of descending wordcount)
Rising from the Ashes by Insert_Witty_User_Name_Here (119k)
written after s1, this is basically a whole novel of what s2 could've been like. And it's phenomenal. There's 27 chapters, but i was reading it as each one was released over the course of 4 months, and it was a whole rollercoaster. You'll find yourself siding with some characters at some times and then the others the other times. You read it and even you are unsure of which side you're on. If you have the time, definitely read this.
Fit the Profile by WaterHorseyBlues (77k)
A detective AU. Someone is trying to assassinate Loki for his inheritance, and Mobius is the private detective on the case. I won't say much, but this is a must read, and probably one of the classic fics in this fandom
Another Prince by drunkbedelia (14k)
canon divergence from s1e3. I don't know how to explain this one except it straight up vibes. Loki and Sylvie are chaotic siblings. Sylvie is scheming around (and def ships loki and mobius). This is one of those fics that would also be considered a classic here.
As You Find the String by athousandteeth (12k)
a s2 fix it (but don't think there isn't suffering before it pays off). The characters are incredibly written and one line in this literally changed how i view life itself
Six Feet Closer by lonelyhourglass47 (11k)
AU where Loki and Mobius are rivals at an office, but circumstances force them to quarantine in an apartment together for 2 weeks. (And to make matters worse, Loki keeps falling asleep in Mobius' bed). Very fun, and this is one I love to come back to time to time.
Show, Don't Tell by pinkpeachtea (6k)
OB writes an 800 page sci-fi romance novel about Loki and Mobius (but changes the name) and insists that all his friends form a book club for it. The titular two get heavily invested (yet still are oblivious it's based on them).
Pen-demonium by dinosuns (6k)
Loki steals a pen, creating 6k words of pure banter. When I think of classic lokius fics, i think anything by dinosuns. This is one of their more banter-focused ones, but they also write amazing 10k long fics that read like prose. This isn't just a dinosuns fic rec as it is a rec for the author themselves
The Best Gift of All by frommyhearttoyours (6k)
AU where Loki is a teacher at the elementary school Mobius' kids attend. Takes place during the school's christmas concert reception. Very cute, very Hallmark.
Stray by RarePairFairy (5k)
Mobius goes back to his timeline to raise his kids and brings Loki along with him. Told through the perspective of his kids Sean and Kevin
I don't want to dance if i'm not dancing with you by Anonymous (2k)
Loki and Mobius find themselves at an 18th century masquerade ball. Very cheesy but I find it a lot of fun

New Loki Fanfic Coming Soon: Faith And Fantasies - A "Get On Your Knees And Pray To Me" Fanfic
In 2020, I wrote a Loki x Reader fanfic titled, "Get On Your Knees And Pray To Me". This was a comfort project for myself during quarantine, and I had no idea how deeply it would change me as an author. It introduced me to new techniques, new ideas, and most importantly, new people to share my passion with.
Since first publishing this fanfic, it has received over 632,000 hits on AO3.
For years, you have been asking for more.
And now, it's time.
Tumblr media
Introducing my new fic, "Faith And Fantasies", or otherwise known as, "Get On Your Knees And Pray To Me - The Outtakes".
This fic features deleted scenes, scrapped chapters and new content that you asked for throughout each chapter. And by content, yes, I mean smut.
Lots of it.
And as an extra special treat, here's a quick preview of what's to come in chapter 1:
Loki's eyes crawled down your body. He licked his lips and as he leaned against you, you could feel his hardness through his leathers. 
You whimpered but lifted your brows. “Already, Loki?!”
“Oh, you cannot tell me you aren’t aroused too,” Loki snickered, his hand tightening on your waist. As he spoke, his eyes became glued to your chest. Your pendant glittered with every deep breath you took, as if it was teasing Loki to come in closer. A heat blossomed from the skin beneath the thick emerald - Loki's magic was beginning to erupt. He was losing control over his desire for you. Good. “The restraint it took me to not mount you in front of all of those people back there…fuck, you’re lucky I even got you out of that hall, pet.”
Before you could speak, Loki’s mouth was on your neck. Kissing, sucking, biting. His hands groped your body, his fingers running with temptation over your dress. Your head fell back against the wall, giving Loki more room to kiss your neck. Already, you were wet. You pressed your thighs together and it did not go unnoticed. Nothing ever went unnoticed by your Master. Loki chuckled gruffly against your throat.
“Dirty little thing,” he laughed. One hand came up and palmed your breast. “I want to fuck you in this dress. I want to fuck you right here and now.” He paused and growled. “I will fuck you right here and now.”
~ ~ ~
"Faith And Fantasies" - coming this Friday, September 9th, only to shiningloki on AO3.
Watch this fic reveal on my TikTok!

The Bird of Hermes is my name; Eating my wings to make me tame
Tumblr media
So...
Some of y’all may have heard of me by now. xD
This is BirdOfHermes from AO3. I write primarily Loki/Female Reader and Loki/Original Female Character fics, but I also dabble in Thor/Female Reader or Thor/OFC, and some other fandoms too. I thought it might be a good idea to create a sideblog in case anyone in the Loki or Thor fandom wants to meet me, since some of you have posted before asking if I had a Tumblr. Please say hi if you’d like; I’m hella awkward but hella friendly. 
The other reason I decided to make a sideblog is that AO3 bans you from posting your Ko-Fi link and it would be lovely if people wanted to tip me for fics again. So you can find my Ko-fi here if you feel the urge: https://ko-fi.com/birdofhermes (Please remember: DO NOT EVER MENTION KO-FI ON AO3. Not even in the comments. They will suspend you for ANY mention of the site, then delete your account. If you contribute, tell me on here, not on there, or they’ll boot us both out.)
For now, though, I’m creating a masterlist of my work so that Tumblrians don’t have a hard time finding my work on here. I’ll come back and update it as new fics get written as well, since y’all know my thirsty ass writes like a maniac. 
Series that I Write

The Journal (Thor/Reader)
All the Small Things (Loki/Reader)
No Accounting for Taste (Loki/Reader)
Under Pressure (This is a Loki/Reader series, but it’s told in first POV and Reader is nicknamed Frosty because she’s a part time Avenger with ice powers who was recruited shortly before Thanos entered the picture. Fics below are in chronological order.)
Under Pressure 
Sweet
The Fight Before Christmas
Valentinus 
Breakthrough
Cold
High
Gamble
Stood Up

And that’s all for now! I’ll update this post whenever I’ve got something new cooking, but for now, please wave, friend, share, and such things. Hope you guys like my work. 
Birdie loves you. <3

Marvel Rare Pair Bingo 2022 Master List
Round 1 of the @marvelrarepairbingo2022​ has come to a close! Here is everything I wrote for it. I love Bruce Banner rare pairs so this was a fun excuse to branch out (50% of these are ThorBruce though!). The bingo server has been a lovely place to hang out and I’ll definitely be writing more stuff for round 2! Fics linked below, or check out the AO3 series.
Tumblr media
I3: Pitching a Tent (Bruce/Thor) Bruce sneaks into Thor’s tent on the Avengers’ camping trip. Neither of them are good at keeping quiet. Explicit. Friends with benefits to lovers, tent smut, humour.
N2: In Two Minds (Bruce & Hulk) Bruce and Hulk are secretly separate people. Steve discovers this when he walks in on them showering together. Teen. Humour, not Avengers 2012 compliant.
G1: Magic Touch (Bruce/Scott Lang) 5 times Scott seduced Bruce with magic tricks +1 time Bruce surprised him. Teen. (Character pretends to throw up playing cards.) Awkward flirting, humour.
G2: Sweet Dreams (Bruce/Thor) Thor and Bruce regularly have nightmares. The solution: sleeping together. And if they accidentally wake up cuddling? Well, that's just fine too. Explicit. Sharing a bed, friends to lovers, accidental cuddling, smut.
G3: The Morn After (Bruce/Thor) After a night of Asgardian partying, Thor awakens to an empty bed. Bruce appears to have left, but perhaps he's closer than Thor realises... Teen. Referenced alcohol and drunk sex. Fluff, morning after.
G4: Relativitea (Bruce/Erik Selvig) After the Battle of New York, Erik Selvig catches up with his old student, Bruce Banner. There's a lot to talk about, and a lot of tea to drink. Teen (Mild blood, past student/teacher relationship.) Post-Avengers, tea shop.
G5: Somewhere More Familiar (Bruce/Loki) Bruce finds Loki alone on the observation deck, watching the stars go by. They're both a little tired of pretending to hate each other. Teen. Secretly dating, star-gazing, post-Thor: Ragnarok.
O1: Quarantine (Bruce/Thor) Bruce is in self-isolation with a “cold” after Hulk smashed up a biolab. Thor looks after him. Teen. Sickfic, domestic fluff.
O2: Suits You (Bruce & Jen) Jen takes Bruce clothes shopping for the Avengers party. Gen. Fluff, sibling bonding, alternate canon 2012 era.

Fics With Titles That Start With J Masterlist
part two
Jailbreak (ao3) - justmattycakes mj/peter T, 3k
Summary: Dr. Michelle Jones knows all about soulbonds, but that doesn't make her a fan. In fact, she wrote the book on how to break them. But will her opinion change once she meets her own soulmate - NYC's favorite superhero?
James Rhodes in 8C (ao3) - what_alchemy rhodey/tony E, 5k
Summary: Tony has always known.
Jaw-Dropper (ao3) - LiquidCaliban steve/natasha E, 3k
Summary: Steve breaks his jaw during a mission and has to 'suffer' through Natasha's idea of being nice so he can heal.
Just a Blast From the Past (ao3) - InNeedOfInspiration steve/natasha N/R, 41k
Summary: Natasha watches Steve die and decides to use a time travel device from Asgard to go back in 1942 and prevent Bucky from turning into the Winter Soldier. Forbidden to meddle with the past because it could affect the future, she changes her appearance and introduces herself under a false identity. But as they grow close, Natasha finds it harder and harder to resist the charm of Steve from 1942.
Just A Memory (ao3) - justmattycakes mj/peter T, 24k
Summary: With Chitauri aliens pouring through the Breach, humanity has been pushed to the brink of extinction, pinning its final hopes on Tony Stark's ailing JAEGAR program and his brilliant plan: a washed-up former Jaeger pilot (Michelle Jones) and his own eager protege (Peter Parker). Will Peter and Michelle find love - and each other - in the drift? And can these dumb kids cancel the apocalypse? Tune in to find out!
Just an Asset (ao3) - soniclipstick (veriscence) clint/phil T, 3k
Summary: Coulson is probably just being polite; it’s obvious that he prefers Thor. That’s fine. Clint is just an asset, after all. And Coulson has real friends now, he doesn’t need to waste his time on Clint.
For anonymous tumblr prompt: Phil and Thor are good friends, Clint doesn't understand.
Just Another Guy With A Bow (ao3) - myrmidryad clint/phil, darcy/steve, jane/thor N/R, 94k
Summary: Clint's life is a steady progression from point A to point B, but it's everything that happens between those points that make the story interesting. Things like joining the circus, losing Barney, finding Barney, stumbling into SHIELD, trusting Coulson, making a different call when he's sent to kill the Black Widow, and becoming part of the dysfunctional Avengers team.
Just a Rose on a Star (ao3) - road_of_ruin loki/tony T, 54k
Summary: It wouldn't be the first time Tony Stark flirted with death, but no matter what the others said, reading stories to the quarantined God of Mischief was definitely one of his better ideas.
Just a Touch (ao3) - The_Buzz bruce/tony T, 8k
Summary: When Bruce and Tony are trapped under the debris from a bomb, Bruce can't afford to transform into the Hulk without risking Tony's life. To make matters worse, Bruce is badly hurt and help might not be on the way for a while.
Just Be Me (ao3) - Daiya_Darko bruce/tony E, 8k
Summary: Bruce can’t accept the most intimate parts of himself until Tony does.
just between us (did the love affair maim you too?) (ao3) - dharmainitiative sam/bucky E, 33k
Summary: “So, guess you’re headed back to Wakanda?”
“I might,” Bucky says. “Honestly, I was banking on going back to Brooklyn. Closest thing I’ve got to home, so, just made sense. But seeing as I’m a fugitive…” He glances over at Sam with a wry smile. “Why, what about you?”
“Rhodey found a spot,” Sam says. “Some safe house on the outskirts of the city. Hasn’t been used in a few years, so, gonna head there and stay low till the pardon is official. Or try to, anyway.”
Bucky is quiet for a minute before he turns to Sam and asks, “Want some company?”
Just Come Home (ao3) - Pearl_Unplanned steve/tony T, 3k
Summary: It had been four months since Tony had last seen his Alpha. It was supposed to be a normal mission, infiltrating A.I.M. But something must've gone wrong, because they'd lost all contact with Steve, the day he was supposed to be back. He was going to tell his Alpha the second that he was home that he was going to be a father.
Only, Steve didn't come home.
(Or pregnant Omega Tony is scared when his Alpha goes missing. When they do find Steve, four months later, he isn’t alone, and the Rogers-Stark family will never be the same.)
Just Dance (It's Gonna Be Okay) (ao3) - ficbypen steve/tony E, 6k
Summary: The Avengers get body-swapped for about a month; Tony and Steve maintain their relationship through it.
just friend things (ao3) - flying_snowmen mj/peter M, 5k
Summary: Peter doesn’t bring anything up at dinner even though May is giving him some serious side eye and can’t stop looking at him with that contemplative look of hers. And then, while he’s washing the dishes and handing them to her to dry, she asks, nonchalant as she can manage, “So when did you and Michelle start dating?”
“MJ and I are just friends.”
Or, a story in which Peter and Michelle insist that they are just friends, to the belief of no one around them.
Just Keep Trying 'til You Run Out of Cake (ao3) - K_R_Closson bucky/clint M, 11k
Summary: Clint Barton sometimes has a name on his wrist. Sometimes he has a couple letters. Sometimes he doesn't have anything at all. By the time he's an adult and working for SHIELD, he figures his soulmate is a ghost. Figures he's never going to meet whoever it is.
He's got it half right.
just know you're not alone (ao3) - haveufoundwhaturlookingfor tony/sam T, 10k
Summary: Tony was settling into his new life being an Avenger. Everything was going fine, great even, and then suddenly a kid was thrown into the picture. Peter Parker becomes Tony’s world, and he’s doing everything he can to keep his son out of the spotlight. Unfortunately, some things don’t always go to plan. But would it really be such a bad thing if his fellow Avengers found out about his son?
Just Me, You, and These Shitty Cigarettes (ao3) - dabblingwithwords steve/bucky, clint/natasha, bucky/brock E, 39k
Summary: Steve Rogers is pretty sure Natasha's new roommate is trying to kill him. Which he wouldn't mind considering he's been helplessly in love with him since they were thirteen.
just say you do (ao3) - biblionerd07 steve/bucky T, 173k
Summary: Steve just wanted a job. He wasn't expecting a marriage proposal. And he certainly wasn't expecting to accept.
just won't do right (ao3) - glittercake sam/bucky G, 7k
Summary: Sam's eyebrows go up, impressed, and he reaches over to squeeze Torres' shoulder, "This is amazing, kid. Thanks, really."
Bucky sits and watches in utter horror as the pink darkens on Torres' cheeks.
Oh, he realizes.
Oh.
Fuck.
just you and me (ao3) - haveufoundwhaturlookingfor steve/bucky, past steve/tony, past/bucky/sam T, 1k
Summary: Steve and Bucky are best friends, childhood friends. Somehow, they've both ended up being single parents with daughters and shitty ex-husbands. Steve secretly has a crush on Bucky, and would do anything for him, even if it means watching his kid for the night so Bucky can go out on a date.

sooooo..... imagine having to social isolate/quarantine away from loki so you're just seeing eachother through glass windows or something?? and like once you do see eachother you have to tell him to keep his distance and he would be so grumpy
a quick fluffy quarantine piece cause i have to start practicing writing faster…
i’ll be answering the asks in my inbox soon, i’m sorry, i’m not ignoring you! 
warnings: covid-19 mentions? but not really, just quarantine. mischief and kisses.
“You’re just gonna sit there? Really?”
Loki nods, one firm jerk of his head. “You better believe it.”
Heaving a sigh, you lob a book at his chest and it goes right through him. On the futon to your left, another Loki appears, arms still crossed tight over his chest, brow furrowed, slumped into the widest manspread you’ve ever seen. 
That’s the fourth Loki in the room, now. One on the couch, one on the counter next to the fridge, one perched atop the stack of books that started this whole ordeal. This one makes four, all scowling at you.
“I’m not changing my mind,” you tell him, ignoring each one of him as you bustle about, picking up papers and righting the throw pillows on the couch. 
“You are impossibly stubborn,” he replies. 
“Thank you.”
“You’d make a lovely queen,” the third Loki says, “but let’s not dwell on that right now.”
“Particularly evil, too,” another adds. “You know I love that dress.”
Of course you do, but he’d been being such a pain with this whole “reduced touching,” social distancing thing that you couldn’t help but hit him where it hurts. 
Quarantine hit your newlywed household hard, dumping the two of you out of the honeymoon phase and directly into learning how the other operates when left entirely to their own devices. 
Loki, it turns out, reads. And writes. And draws. And, around evening time, must cook or bake something or else he’ll be miserable. 
Oh, and the last thing: he moves from one thing to the next so quickly, he forgets to pick any of it up when he finishes, leaving the most intellectually chaotic mess atop every surface in the house. 
Stacks of books have taken up residence as your new nightstands, coffee tables, and catch-alls, and most of them have a plate with half a scone sitting on their covers, or a coffee cup with one last sip at the bottom, or a cup of tea gone two days cold and leaving a beige ring on his copy of Skáldskaparmál. 
You’d had enough. Granted, you weren’t doing the greatest with the quarantine yourself, but the both of you can’t be messy in this new home. One is enough.
“Well,” you huff, and walk right through the Loki in the doorway to the kitchen, “enjoy the view. That’s all you’re getting.”
His pout reaches a new level of pathetic.
It’s one of both of your favorite dresses, the kind of dress that gives you the motivational kick you need to walk with your head held high, the kind that makes you feel unstoppable, like you can accomplish anything in the world.
So when you woke up today, decided today would be the day you tackle the house, you knew you needed to pull out the dress. Plus it would be some good leverage with the pouty prince…
“You’re being unreasonable,” the pouty prince announces. You give him a hearty scoff, eyebrows lifting as you start dismantling one of the book towers by the end of the couch.
“Am I, now?”
“Yes. I’m a god, I can’t get sick.” One of the Lokis hops off the counter and trails after you. “I am the furthest from being at risk of this virus, I think we’re safe enough to kiss—”
“How do we know that?”
“I’m literally a god. Ask Thor, he’ll tell you.”
You almost turn around and kiss him just to shut him up, but catch yourself just in time, resolving to purse your lips at him instead. “That’s not what I mean. I know you’re a god or whatever. I just don’t want to take the chance of either of us getting sick anyways.”
“That,” he says, and the clone steps towards you, “is a risk I’m willing to take.”
He takes your face in his hands, his weirdly warm, seidr-made hands, and leans in to kiss you deeply. You let him, eyes rolling with a sigh and eyebrow quirked as the foggy apparatus of your husband tries to kiss you with the same fervor as if it were really him.
It’s close, definitely close—but it’s still just slightly off. Too warm, too tingly against your lips; he leaves behind a bit of a buzz, and not necessarily the pleasant kind. More along the lines of electricity, an electric shock and static in the air.
“Good enough.” You pat the clone’s cheek and your hand goes through him again, fingertips right through his frown. “Satisfied?”
“Satisfaction is not in my nature,” the real Loki replies, his frown deeper as he stares at the two of you. “Though we do make an attractive couple, I have to admit.”
“Damn right,” you grin, tossing him a wink before turning back to the book stack. There’s a Loki in every direction, watching you, pouting, all desperate to touch you and the original one is chewing his lip.
That can’t be good.
“All of you pick a stack,” you order, waving a hand at the library that exploded in your living room. “You can’t all just stand here and gawk. You’ve got to sort these out, Lokes, it’s getting out of hand.”
The four of them do as you say, grumbling the whole way and throwing you dirty looks. The real Loki plops himself on the floor in front of one of the bookshelves and starts rifling through an array of papers, occasionally crumpling one into a ball and tossing it at you.
And a few seconds later, another one boinks you on the head. 
Then another.
“Loki!”
“Hm?”
“Stop it.” You give him your most threatening glare, adding another book to the midgardian must-read pile. “Stop thinking about it, you’ll get used to this.”
“I don’t want to get used to this,” he replies with a huff and rips a piece of paper in two. “I miss you.”
“It’s been barely four days.”
He closes his eyes with a sigh and flops back onto the floor, throwing a dramatic arm over his face. “That’s already far too long.”
“It’s for our own good! Just until we’ve flattened the curve, okay?”
His elbow lifts and one eye cracks open; with a sly smile like that, you know what he’s thinking before he’s even said it.
“Darling, none of the curves I’m interested in have any business being flattened.”
You spin and lunge at him. 
He shrieks, but your reaching hands go right through him and instead of landing on him like you’d hoped, you faceplant on the floor, no Loki in sight.
Besides the other three laughing at you from behind, of course. 
“I hate you,” you mutter, picking yourself back up and tossing a paper ball at the Loki leaning by the tv. He catches it, and you make a mental note that that’s the real one. “Face me yourself, coward.”
“Oh, those are fighting words,” all three of him grin. 
Fighting, huh?
“Fighting” with Loki takes a different kind of intellect. You can’t just hide his stuff or fill his hairdryer with baby powder, petty pranks don’t work on him. You have to hit him were it hurts. And be three steps ahead.
Lucky for you, there’s three Lokis conveniently in the room.
“I need you,” you start slowly, working your way towards the Loki on the left.
The duplicate swallows hard, watching you sidle up closer to him than you have been in the past four days. You can feel the other two Lokis burning gazes on the back of your head, especially when you run your hand up the faded, glowing god’s warm chest.
“Yeah,” he mumbles, leaning into you, “I need you, too.”
“I need you,” you tell him again, your voice dropping to a low purr, “to go clean up the mess you left on my desk.”
A moment of hesitation crosses the clone’s face—then he mutters a “yes, ma’am” and trudges off to the office.
“What’s your play here, love?” Loki asks, raising an eyebrow at you. 
You just give him a sickly sweet smile—one that sends his heart pounding, much to his dismay—and sashay your way to the other clone, the one on the right, sitting on the sofa. “Getting you to cooperate.”
This clone grabs you by the waist and pulls you into his lap before you can get handsy with him, but you don’t mind. It’s too easy—you can literally make Loki jealous of himself. 
“And what should I have you do?”
“Anything,” the Loki answers earnestly. 
“I’m wondering if we should remodel completely,” you muse, stroking a hand through his hair. “That wall could go. Then we can make that entire wall a built in bookshelf. What do you think, sweetheart?”
“Wonderful idea. I love it.” He nods a bit too enthusiastically. “And I think the kitchen needs new cupboards and countertops, everything’s too dark and closed off in here. I prefer open concept, don’t you?”
“Ooh, you’re a sweet one.” Glancing up at the fuming Loki you left by the tv, you give him another grin. “You get a kiss, for that. Can I keep you?”
Real Loki narrows his eyes and bares his teeth, bringing a laugh from your throat as you take Loki’s face in your hands and press your lips to his, ready for the familiar shock and warm buzz of his seidr on your skin. 
Instead, he’s solid. Very, very solid. And a little cold, impossibly soft, and his hands don’t have that mystical warmth of a clone when they run down the curve of your back, pulling you closer into him as he kisses you as well as he possibly can.
Wait. 
“Loki…”
“Mm,” he replies, and a hand slips behind your neck to keep you in place. 
“You little shit—”
He just kisses you harder, muffling his laughter with your lips and pulling you flush against him. 
The Loki by the tv fades into nothing with a wave of his hand.

The Broom
Warnings: none
Relationship: none
Summary: The quarantine forces the Avengers to do chores in the Tower. One of them refuses to accept it
Read On AO3
Tumblr media
The quarantine won't let the cleaning staff come to the tower. And Tony needs a week to make a robotic staff. Which means one thing.
The Earth's Mightiest Heroes must do chores.
After discussing, fighting, spitting, yelling and almost physical fights, they all agreed on it and set daily tasks for each, changing them every day.
Well, not entirely... One indomitable Avenger still holds out against the New Order of Things.
And this lone hero—this rebel, one could say—is no one but Loki's overdramatic ass.
The God's task could be something as easy as putting laundry or something as disgusting as cleaning Thor's bathroom. But it matters not, cause Loki wouldn't do it.
Yes, they're the only one, apart from Wanda, with magical abilities, but they even refuse to magic the task.
At first, it caused some heated argument between the team, mostly Steve and Loki, but they eventually accepted that he wouldn't do anything.
However, the rest of the team started feeling like Loki is not helping at all with this new situation, and went back on pretending they don't exist. But this time it was bad.
How bad? Even Thor did so.
Most of the Avengers have gone on a mission, leaving Loki back after his request. And, between their books and Netflix, they aren't particularly bored.
But, on the second day, he wants to do something. So, some sweeping won't kill them, right? And he can turn on the music as well while doing so…
An hour later, Tony walks in to see the God absolutely slamming "I want to break free" while sweeping the living room. Well, more like dancing with a broom. And, to be honest, both Loki's voice and movements are flawless and in tune with the song.
Tony has to slap his mouth shut to stop laughing. The other heroes follow, and do the same. At least until Thor's bombing laughter echoes.
Loki grows quiet and freezes, the broom falling from their hands. With the music still playing, he turns to look at the grinning heroes, his face going from pale to pink to bright red.
"I… please don't leak anything," they whisper, eyebrows frowning as they deploy the puppy eyes.
"Only if you get in the chores schedule. And you can play music while doing so," Steve bargains. Loki lets a sigh.
"Agreed," he lowers his head. Steve nods and laughs it off, walking closer and putting the broom back to Loki's hands.
"Keep on the sweeping for now. Also, your performance is highest quality," he laughs and walks away before Loki can react. The other heroes do the same, but Clint.
"You will let me show that to my kids, right? The girls will love it," he grins and walks closer.
For his first week, Loki takes on Clint's duties. Because apparently, when embarrassing a god with a broom, they get creative, sadistic and violent. At least until the broom breaks.

Favorite Fics: Darcy Edition
It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these. Things started going on that hurt my soul, and I just felt like, who cares about some fic recs when people are getting hurt? But… I don’t know. I still find solace and comfort in reading stories, even when things are hard—especially when things are hard. So, I finally felt like maybe it was time for another. If the fic writers out there are giving me escape, warm fuzzies, and enjoyment during these weird times, then they deserve some love directed back at them.
So far, I’ve listed my top 10 favorite Stucky, Drarry, and Stony fics. I love them all, but… that is a lot of dudes. I decided it was time for a little girl power in my fanfic recs. One of my favorite BAMF female characters is Darcy Lewis—one of the best and most under-rated, under-explored characters in the MCU.
I love Darcy as the every-girl who has the moxie and chutzpa to hold her own in a life full of superheroes. The girl tased the God of Thunder because he was freaking her out, for goodness sake! I love her being BFFs with Jane, being Thor’s lightening sister, and creating a found family. I love her living in the tower and caring for all the superheroes and science geniuses like they won’t care for themselves. There’s enough leeway in her backstory for fun twists, too, like being Jewish, or—one of my absolute faves—secretly being the daughter of Tony Stark.
There are a ton of good Darcy fics out there, but these are my top 10. Thank you, writers, for sharing these amazing stories with us!
Casa de Island Avengers by @inkbert
I clicked on this story because of WinterShock (Darcy/Bucky), which is a favorite ship of mine (I feel my love of Bucky has been previously discussed at length, lol), but it has become one of my favorite fics of all time. Not even just in the MCU—if I were listed my top five fanfics ever read, this one is on the list.
The concept is simple—post-Ultron, the Avengers started falling apart as a team, so Steve spearheads the effort to get them all on a two-week vacation to Tony’s private island in a last-ditch bonding effort. Every character (except Thor, but he does get some good screen time) has his or her own point of view for at least a chapter or two. Sometimes, this leads to characters sounding the same, but @inkbert really grounds each character in their own backstory and makes their inner monologues sound unique. Then, so many wacky hijinks ensue—camping, drinking, movie nights, girl bonding, sailing, pranks, and the most competitive game nights and challenges you’ve ever seen.
The ships included are Darcy/Bucky, Steve/Natasha, Pepper/Tony, and Clint/Wanda, but this story isn’t only about the ships. It’s about all these crazy characters bonding—found family at its finest. This is probably my favorite Darcy/Jane BFFs story ever, and the Bruce/Tony science bro connection is classic. The story is fully seated in cannon (up through Ultron and moving to the ccmpound), except no Clint/secret family and Pietro lives. Read it. Read it now! And if you enjoy it, there are several one-shots that follow, including a Wanda-centric one that shouldn’t be missed.
Best Supporting Soulmate by Valeris
I love a good soulmate fic, and this is an excellent one. The first thing your soulmate says to you is written on your skin, and there are both romantic and platonic soulmates. Darcy has Jane as a platonic soulmate, but it’s her other soulmate who made her life crazy before she even met them. What are you supposed to do when your soulmate’s first words to you are to let them die? 
The two primary ships in this fic are Wintershock and Stony, which work well together, but the story delves into a lot more relationships. I don’t love the whole amnesia trope in a Stucky fic because losing all that history and friendship hurts so much, but in a WinterShock fic, I have a real soft spot for Darcy being able to help post-HYDRA Bucky learn how to person again, and she does that in spades in this one. She also cultivates friendships with just about everyone in Avengers Tower and beyond. Darcy/Johnny Storm BFFs are amazing, and the deep friendship Darcy develops with Tony in this story gives me all the feels. This is a great version of BAMF Darcy who can see what the tortured characters need and is able to help them get there. And there is some interesting conflict with the Fantastic Four, as well.
This was one of the first, if not the first, WinterShock stories I ever read. I had been trying TaserHawk, but it wasn’t really my cuppa, and then somehow found this one and got hooked.
Road Trip of Champions by @leftennant
Natasha and Steve are going on a road trip. Steve wants Bucky to come with, but they feel like they need a fourth to make things even. Natasha bribes Darcy into coming with, and over the course of the trip, we get a lovely WinterShock romance. The road trip concept is fun, and Darcy and Bucky have a light enemies to friends to lovers vibe going on. Bucky is recovering, Darcy isn’t going to take anyone’s crap, and Natasha and Steve really just want a little private time along the way. And the bit at the end of the main story when they play paintball—classic and a scene that has stuck in my mind long after reading many other fics. The protective vibe Bucky has for Darcy after all this and how it even affects paintball is adorable. There are other one-shots in this ’verse as well that should not be missed. You might never think of lemons the same again.
Daybreak by @anogete
Anogete has a really good touch with snarky, caretaker Darcy. I love all her WinterShock stories, but this is the one that’s stuck with me the most. The concept of Darcy trying to help dismantle Bucky’s trigger words by creating new memories for each one was so compelling. The therapy aspect did give me pause (a personal thing; it is dealt with as respectfully as possible in the story), but it all works out in the end. The fact that I loved it so much despite a mild personal ping with the concept speaks to how well it’s written, honestly. :-) And, if this one isn’t to your taste, Anogete has plenty of great WinterShock to read, so definitely try one of them instead!
The Run ’Verse by themonkeycabal
Though it eventually becomes a WinterShock story, my favorite thing about this universe is the Tony-Stark-is-Darcy’s-father trope. This is probably my absolute favorite version of that relationship. There is also time travel, and BAMF Peggy Carter. And even though I don’t love the Darcy-becomes-a-Shield-agent thing as much as Darcy the Scientist Wrangler, this story has a great, cannon-compliant reason for why Tony, Clint, etc., weren’t able to come help Steve, Natasha, Sam, and Maria in CA:tWS. There are a ton of stories in this ’verse, and I enjoyed every single one. My favorite, though, is the one where Darcy and Tony go visit Howard’s forgotten secret bunker and have three generation’s-worth of overdue conversations.
A Morbid Taste for Ice by sitehound
This is probably my favorite TaserTricks story, though I haven’t read nearly as much Darcy/Loki as I have other Darcy ships. I think it’s because writing Loki in character and making it believable to me that Darcy would fall in love with him, especially post-Avengers 1, is a fine line. If the fic apologizes too much for Loki’s wrongdoing without enough repentance/reformation, I don’t buy that she would legit be able to fall for him, but, go too far on the redemption and Loki gets OOC.
This story hits all those beats pretty perfectly and combines them with the whole Darcy/Jane/Thor (and now Loki) found family thing, Thor/Loki brother angst, Jane/Darcy BFFs, and a really compelling murder mystery to boot. There is also an interesting subplot with Loki being what basically amounts to a magical mechanic that I found really interesting amidst the snark, romance, and mystery solving. I’m sad this writer only has the one story up because it is so good!
Bygone by @inkbert
This story is Shieldshock (Steve/Darcy), not WinterShock, so even though I do try to only choose one fic per author (mostly), I’m totally fine having two by @inkbert on this list. Besides, this fic is amazing, and it’s not like there are anyone’s rules to follow on these fic rec lists but my own, lol! This is hands down my favorite ShieldShock story ever. 
Jane’s experiment goes awry and sends Darcy into the past—specifically after Bucky left for basic but before he shipped out and Steve got tapped for Project Rebirth. Darcy ends up living with Rebecca and Mrs. Barnes, and she falls head over heels in love with tiny Steve, so much so that they get married despite not knowing what the future holds for her. Then, the night before Steve is going to report to basic, Darcy blips out again, and when she blips back in, Steve is dead. The rest of the story has Darcy blipping her way through time, making friends with Howard, Peggy, and the Howling Commandos. Ultimately, though, it’s her brother/sister relationship with Tony that is the most poignant, especially by the time they catch up to the present again. And Darcy is a complete BAMF the whole time—going on missions, learning to fly anything with wings, doing anything and everything to keep her found family together. This story also gave me a plan for what I would do if I were ever shot back into a timeline like this where I couldn’t sew or cook or make a living—become a typist… genius, Darce!
Their Hearts Said by @anogete
Another Anogete story because I just can’t resist. All her stories are really good, be they WinterShock, ShieldShock, or even her really good Loki/OC fic. I would definitely suggest giving all of them a try.
This ShieldShock story is my favorite post-Infinity War tale. It picks up a few weeks after the snap, with everyone grieving and trying to figure out what to do next. Steve is barely holding it together while the remaining Avengers try to figure out what they can do. After Jane and her family disappear, Darcy heads to Avengers Tower, hoping against hope that maybe Thor knows what’s going on. Darcy and Steve start sleeping together as more of an escape from the awfulness around them than anything else, but as the team works on a plan to save the day and bring everyone back, they develop real feelings for each other. There is also time travel and I really loved the minimalist way she wrote how the day was saved in this. It balanced well with the character stuff. This story is much preferable to End Game—too bad cannon didn’t go like this!
Good Madness by Em_Jaye
Normally, I prefer my Darcy embedded within the MCU cannon. I adore that every girl keeping up with superheroes thing. But, I do enjoy a good AU on occasion, and this is one of my faves. It’s ShieldShock and kid!fic. Darcy runs a bakery that was left to her by her mother (real You’ve Got Mail tones there, but no creepy identity porn), and Steve comes in for treats on occasion. One day, he brings his daughter, and the rest is history. I love the Steve/Darcy romance in this one, and Steve’s daughter is a sweet character. I love the Full House thing Steve has going on co-raising his daughter with Bucky and Sam. And there is a nice Bucky/Natasha subplot and some really good Tony, which I would say more about except that I don’t want to spoil the surprise. My favorite story in the series is the five rules one at the end, so definitely keep going long enough for that. And if you like Em_Jaye’s writing, you should check out The Long Way Around—a Shieldshock, time travel, Endgame fix-it WIP that is excellent, as well.
One Year by @steeleholtingon
This story is WinterShieldShock. OT3s aren’t my favorite trope, but somehow with Bucky/Darcy/Steve, it works. Maybe it’s something about the boys’ history and Darcy dragging them into the future. Kind of what she does for each of them individually in WinterShock and ShieldShock, but with even more oomph. I haven’t read the whole tag, but One Year is my favorite.
Bucky’s Winter Soldier recovery has pushed both Steve and Bucky to the edge. Steve ends up leaving (at Bucky’s demand, but also because the team is afraid he’s going to do some kind of suicide via superhero duty if he doesn’t get his head on straight). The wrinkle—the night before he left, Darcy and Steve had a comforting one-night stand that resulted in two pinks lines on the test. The resulting story takes place one month at a time. Steve tries to piece himself back together and put his feelings for Bucky in the past whilst falling for Darcy over text messages. Bucky, on the other hand, realizes how he fucked it all up and vows to be there for Darcy and Steve’s baby while Steve is gone. Darcy navigates the waters of an unplanned (but wanted) pregnancy while balancing her feelings for both of them. And all the rest of the Avengers, science crew, and other Avengers-adjacent peeps support all three of them through it all. Angst, recovery, and a happy ending. So good!
So, after all that, what are you guys waiting for? Get to reading all this Darcy goodness! :-)
And now I need to figure out what fic rec list to work on next. I have a Stranger Things one (Harringrove and Mileven) almost ready to go, and then I need to decide what to do with the ships and characters that I don’t have a full top ten for. Group them together, perhaps? Bughead and LoVe might be a good combination, lol. And WinterHawk and WinterIron.

Loki x Reader: Quarantine
Please comment
-
-
‘And this is Captain America, signing off, reminding everyone once again, stay safe, stay strong, and stay true to America. Please, buy only what is necessary, if you’re quarantined, stay home for the assigned days, get a lot of rest if you’re sick, take the necessary precautions, and we’ll get through this, we always do.’ Steve smiled, saluting the camera on his laptop then looked at Bucky.
Bucky gave a tired thumbs up.
'Signing off, I’ll see you all tomorrow.’ Steve clicked the end transmission button and the feed ended. 'That was really good Bucky, I really think we’re making a difference, I hope we can keep people calm in this trying times.’
Bucky raised his eyebrow and leaned back in the seat groaning as he covered his face, 'Are you seriously going to drag me through these podcasts every day?’
Steve stood up and stretched, 'Until the quarantine ends, it’s the least we can do for the public, so yes, yes I am.’
You snorted into your vitamin enhanced energy drink, watching the two super soldiers across the counter.
'Don’t start.’ Bucky muttered, looking at you, raising a warning finger.
You set down your glass and held up your hands defensively, 'Not a word.’
'It’s day two and I’m stir crazy already.’ Bucky groaned, running his hand through his hair as he stood up and began to pace.
The big screen turned on and Tony appeared, poolside with a margarita in hand, shades halfway down his nose as he squinted at his phone to see the three of you in the kitchen. 'Cap! Other soldier, teddy bear.’
'Why does he call you teddy bear again?’ Bucky asked, glancing at you.
You sighed and shook your head. The automatic kitchen doors slid open and the two norse gods walked, mid conversation, stopping only when they saw Tony on the monitor.
'Oh excellent,’ Tony continued, 'thunder bros, anyways, Steve, loved the pep talk, my stocks stopped their nose dive, they’re still dropping but not nearly as bad, I heard one of the local grocery stores even had toilet paper on the shelf too.’
Steve rolled his eyes, 'What do you want, Stark?’
'Can’t I check in? One quarantinee to another?’
'You’re pool side in Malibu.’ Bucky grumbled.
'And you’re in Stark tower with tons of friends in New York, your point?’
'Tony? Lunch’s almost done!’ You heard Pepper call from somewhere within the house.
'Yea just a second honey.’ Tony grinned, 'Quarantine is awesome, am I right?’
Thor grumbled, 'I don’t see why I have to be stuck in this building.’
'Thor, we’ve told you countless times, people are worried you could transmit the disease.’ Steve replied.
'No Midgardian illness is a match for me.’ Thor replied, fist on his chest.
Loki rolled his eyes, 'And yet, the disease may cling to you and travel to the mortals, brother. How our physiology is compatible to theirs is unknown, must we go through this again?’
You made eye contact with Loki and smiled softly.
Loki’s irritation seemed to fade somewhat and a faint smile touched the corner of his mouth before he turned his attention back to Thor, folding his arms.
'So are you guys going to have a party then?’ Tony asked, 'Wait, where’s Hawkeye? Two of you are missing.’
'Hawkeye and Nat are around.’ You replied. 'Nat was taking a nap last I knew and Clint’s… lurking.’
Tony shook his head before abruptly touching his phone, 'yes, what is it? Kid, I told you to only call in emergencies. What, wait, say that slower. You’re quarantined? Do you have enough supplies to get you through the next two weeks, just calm down. No, I’m on the phone with the other Avengers. Yes, most of them, the ones that are quarantined at the tower. Yes that includes Loki. Why do you call him Mr. Loki. Kid… Focus. Yes, ok good, you have supplies, yes you’re not sick, I know, Aunt May is pretty young, yes I know, she’s fine, you’ll both be fine, it’s just a quarantine, keep entertained with Cap’s podcasts, they’ll keep you calm, he posts them each day, yes you’re talking too fast for me to understand you. Kid. Peter. Listen to me.’ Tony sighed. 'Kid.’ He sighed again. 'Listen. I will hang up on you. Kid. Listen, stop it. Stop. I’ll send over a suit with groceries. Yes, I’ll send toilet paper. Yes, I know all the stores are out, I have connections.’ Tony smiled weakly, 'I got you covered, you’ll be fine. You’ll get through this. Now all of you, I’m hanging up and getting lunch with my hot date. Bye.’ The screen went black.
'That spider kid got quarantined?’ Steve asked, looking around the room.
You blinked, 'I guess so.’
Loki crossed the room, moving away from Thor and came over to sit beside you. He left a respectable distance, peering into your glass curiously before easing himself into the chair next to you.
'I could bring him supplies.’ Thor grumbled.
'Brother we have dealt with plagues, as has humanity before, if their response is to lock themselves away to deter the spread of it, we are not to interfere. Their healers, doctors, have made their demands,’ Loki looked up from your drink, 'We do not interfere.’
'We are protectors of humanity, we must safeguard the realm in whatever way possible.’ Thor urged.
'You cannot fight a disease with your hammer.’ Loki replied. 'Or are you suggesting culling the sick to limit its spread?’
Thor creased his brow.
Loki raised his eyebrow, 'Such action has been taken in the past and will likely take place in the future.’
Steve and Bucky watched Loki uneasily.
Loki continued coldly, 'Tell me brother, would you risk more lives or take them because you are uneasy with patience?’
'Loki…’ You said slowly.
Thor growled softly before turning and stomping from the room.
'He’s never patient.’ Loki muttered, shrugging.
You sighed and touched his forearm hesitantly.
Loki glanced down at you somewhat surprised. You slowly pulled your hand away as Loki’s eyes trailed your hand, watching where you had been and slowly staring at your hand where it lay a few inches from his arm.
Steve cleared his throat. 'Well I was thinking I might start drawing again, I haven’t had a chance to sit down and just sketch in a while.’ He managed a smile, 'Anyone have any suggestions? Maybe I’ll do some skylines…’
Bucky sighed, 'I haven’t had a lot of time to hone any hobbies.’
'Well now is a great time to start!’ Steve clapped Bucky on the shoulder, 'C'mon, Stark is bound to have plenty of things lying around this musty old tower. Let’s go digging.’
You finished your drink, staring at the empty mug. 'Do you think there will be a culling?’ You asked, looking at Loki.
Loki shook his head, 'Not at all. Thor is too quick for action, this disease is easily controlled by your mortal means. Stay clean, take care of yourself and avoid too many people. The spies staying to themselves are smart, the three of you are the only regular humans in this tower, otherwise it’s nearly empty on the top floors. Between the soldiers and myself and my brother, you’re the only mortal really.’
You nodded slowly, staring at him with concern.
Loki carefully touched your hand, a bit of color rising to his cheeks, 'I doubt with the chemicals running through their bodies and my brother and myself and our genetic make up, we seem to be safe from this disease. I fear only for you falling ill, but we will keep you safe and even so, there are many more cases of recovery than there are fatalities.’
You nodded, 'Yea, you’re right.’
The black screen flipped on. 'What motherfucker, is stealing all of SHIELD’s motherfucking toilet paper?’ Nick Fury’s voice roared over the speakers as he glared out around the screen, staring down at you and Loki. 'Where is Rogers?’
You blinked, quailing beneath his glare. 'He went looking for art supplies, sir.’
'Someone got it in their funny little head that it would be a good idea to ransack the SHIELD bathrooms for toilet paper and now I got nothing to wipe my ass with. HILL, get me Hill on the line.’ Fury continued, barking orders at someone out of view.
Loki rolled his eyes, 'I don’t know what you expect us to do about it, we’re under quarantine.’
You snickered, fighting back a laugh.
Fury looked down at the two of you, 'Oh right, I’d forgotten.’ He sighed, 'Do I have any Avengers or SHIELD agents I can call into duty?’
'Not that I know of, sir. I’m pretty out of the loop.’ You waved your hand, indicating the quarantine.
'Fine, fine, carry on.’ The screen blanked out again.
Loki looked at you and you looked back at him before the two of you started laughing weakly. You both quickly looked away.
'Want to go check out the library? It’s going to be a long quarantine.’ You offered your hand to him.
Loki looked at your hand hesitantly before taking it, 'Certainly.’
It might be a long quarantine, but perhaps not a terrible one.

#32: “After Midnight” by Dorothy
Set me on fire, Kerosene eyes Looking right through me. Selling my soul for one night. Doin' me dirty, Telling me lies, You are not worthy, Telling myself it's the last time. 'Cause nothing good comes after midnight. Ain't no good love come from pain. Nothing good comes after midnight When you play the Devil's game. Dragging me under, Cutting me down to the bone, Standing on the edge, Falling for a rollin' stone. 'Cause nothing good comes after midnight. Ain't no good love come from pain. Nothing good comes after midnight When you play the Devil's game. …
“This is the last time.” 
“I beg your pardon.” His voice, low and harmonic, resonates deep in her marrow. “I did not summon myself.”
“I called you to tell you no more. We...I can’t do this anymore.”
His presence, cool water for a parched desert traveler, trickles down her spine in rivulets until every nerve ending shivers with anticipation. A single finger, long and elegant, sweeps across the line of her shoulders.
“And what...precisely...is this, darling? What is it you think we can’t do anymore?”
He pauses, and his gaze settles on the back of her head, heavy and unnerving. She can’t hide anything from him, and she should have known better than to try.
“I can’t...handle you anymore. I never could, and I was stupid to think otherwise.”
A clock chimes a single note somewhere out in the darkness, deep and distant. 
“Oh, I think you handle me quite well. Your skills have proven to be quite pleasing. I prefer your company over most of my supplicants.”
She stands straighter, bracing herself against the onslaught of his praise. Despite her best efforts, each word sinks into her mind, rooting deep into her psyche. She pretends to ignore her quickened pulse, her rising flush.
“You have always been too much for me. We both know that. I can’t survive you, Loki. I can’t live my life during the day when all my thoughts are with you in the night. I can’t eat, I never sleep, I just pine after you. You-”
His thumb ghosts over her cheekbone, leaving an icy trail across her face. Then he stands before her, thumb tilting her chin up, and she can’t bring herself to look away. 
His eyes are cerulean flame, the worst degree of frostburn, and her resolve turns to ash in the face of his inferno.
“You won’t leave me,” he commands, his voice carrying to every corner of her mind. She finds herself leaning into his touch, her stomach clenching with want. “Of what value is mere survival in comparison to what we share, what we invoke together?”
He steps again, a predator circling prey, fingers splayed along her jaw as he pulls her shoulder blades flush against his chest. 
“You wish to live, and yet I offer you transcendence. Is that not better? Higher?” His lips, wintry velvet, brush against the shell of her ear with every word. Two fingers slide down to press against her, taking measure of her fluttering pulse, and he exhales his pleasure sharply against her cheek.
“Give over,” he murmurs. He presses an open kiss against her flushed face. “Why squander your strength fighting the ineffable? It is your vitality I so desire, the flame within you. I welcome the burn.”
A stream of searing kisses down the length of her throat, one hand pressing firm against her belly, his other arm anchoring her firmly against his chest.
“Tell me you wish me to leave,” he whispers. The hand on her belly drifts lower, and she moans, head rolling back against his collarbone.
“Dismiss me, banish me from your thoughts.”
Her throat constricts; the air in the room is too cold, too thin. She is drowning on dry land. His hand slides lower still, resting between her hips bones. A sharp, blazing ache throbs mere inches south of his fingertips, but this is his game, and he plays by his rules and no one else’s.
“Am I not worth a little damage?” he says. Of all his strength and wile, his wit and skill, it is Loki’s pain that finally cuts her down to the bone. Another trick from the master, but she can feel the reality behind the facade, and her last wall of resistance shatters.
She stands on the edge of the precipice, her decision made long before his hand moves, fingers gliding within her, pressing, plunging. 
“Fall for me, love,” he says. Behind his lush tones, his plea is irresistibly entreating. “Fall with me, join me in my abyss, and we will soar higher, I swear it.”
She clings to him, and they sink as one stone into the depths.

imagine...
you are quarantined with loki. he was meant to take over the world but did not know how a frost giant would react to the virus and would rather stay locked up indoors than catch it and die. he picked a random house to stay hidden until he could resume the attack and your window just so happened to be open that night. things are awkward for a bit but you eventually get used to him spraying disinfectant products everywhere at all hours of the day and night. its actually kind of sweet if you think about it because its more for your benefit that his - he’s probably resistant to the virus anyways. about a week in you realise you are running low on food and other sanitary supplies. loki thinks if you were to leave to shop you would inform the authorities of his whereabouts so he kills you over the single remaining roll of toilet paper.

DAY 4 OF LOKI VS. EARTH: CACTUS
Day 4 of the quarantine series and today Loki is pissed off by a cactus.
One shot summary: Loki just wanted his new book but got something a little more spikey.
Author’s note: I started something called the quarantine series as a way to help others get through this tough time. To join in just write a one shot and tag it with #quarantine series. Also if you do join in please message me so I can see it :)
Tumblr media
Loki Odinson was not a summer kind of guy. He hated the sun. He hated the heat. He hated the exposed skin of the humans he saw walking by. He hated it all.
When it was warm outside Loki stayed very much indoors. He would lock himself away in his room with a book and stay there until it was dark outside. This is exactly how he had spent his first summer on Midgard so far. He had read through all the books Thor had brought him and he even started ordering some on some human site called kindle.
Loki only went outside when asked or deemed necessary. It had been a few days since he had left the home and today he had his first shipment of books coming in. Much to his disappointment they did not bring the books to your bedroom. They left the package in your mailbox or on your porch. Since this was just one book Loki knew he would have to go all the way out to retrieve it.
Valkyrie told him that the mail ran by noon everyday so when he saw the clock read 11:30 he began to mentally prepare himself. He was a god.. A little sun would not kill him.
Upon hearing the mail truck stop at his home Loki slipped on his shoes and grabbed the sunglasses Valkyrie had bought him and trembly reached out for the door knob.
As he opened the door his focus on the book disappeared because there on his porch sat a flower? Yes a flower. Loki was absolutely puzzled.
So puzzled that he briefly slid his sunglasses up to make sure he was seeing clearly.
There was a flower on his porch. Who would leave him a flower? Loki not being able to resist the curiosity picked up the pot. There in the dirt was a piece of paper attached to a stick that read “To bring a little summer in your home.”
Sorry to whomever brought him this but this flower was ugly. Completely hideous. It had no leaves or no pretty colors. It was just green and circular. It’s only other feature was spikes.. Loki knew because he poked his nose on one trying to smell it. It didn’t even smell nice. This was the ugliest thing he had ever seen and he had seen his own father naked once.
Loki didn’t want this flower or summer nowhere near the inside of his home. He just wanted his book that was waiting for him to retrieve from the mail box.
Loki couldn’t just leave this flower here though. Valkyrie a few weeks ago had brought him a book on the environment and how to be more environmentally friendly. She thought it would help him come more to the liking of summer. It did not but from his reading Loki knew that he couldn’t just let this plastic container with a ugly ass flower just sit here and waste away. So Loki thought up the great idea of taking out the flower, throwing it to the yard next door(where it could grow peacefully) and reusing the plastic as a holder for his knives
Loki was anti summer not a monster. With his great idea he reached down to grab the plant out of the holder. He grabbed it with both hands and let out a scream that the whole neighborhood probably heard.
“OH MY JOTUN.” Loki hollered out. This plant had spikes all over. This plant was no flower. It was a nuance. Loki was going to do a good act and allow it to grow in his neighbors yard and this is how it repaid him.
This plant entire existence should be ended and spent in hel. He was a god and it dare injured him.
Loki went back inside with his hands full of spikes and grabbed the lighter he kept in the end drawer of his island. He held the lighter between his fingers to avoid making contact with the spikes.
Once back outside he got on his knees and prepared to punish the plant in the way he believed it deserved.
Right as he was going to flick the button he heard his brother, Thor, yell out.
“Loki, What in Valhalla are you doing?
“Brother. This unknown species appeared on my porch and it defaced my skin.”
“Loki. Loki. It’s just a flower. “ Thor said as he reached down to remove it from its spot on the porch. Immediately he yelled out and threw the cactus toward Loki. Loki not wanting the cactus to hit him in the face reached up and grabbed it. Again he felt this plant intrude on his perfect hands.
Loki yelped and threw it back at his brother. Who again caught and threw it back. If anyone walked past they would be questioning what in the world these men were doing. Standing on the porch throwing a cactus back and forth. Why didn’t they just drop it? Why were they playing hot potato with it?
Loki was afraid to let the cactus fall anywhere else but his hands. He didn’t want it to harm anything else. He wanted to be the one to deal with it. But how when with each catch many more spikes filled his hands. So there him and Thor sat tossing this plant back and forth like it was a ball. Each taking turns yelling out in pain and throwing it back in the air. Their immediate response was to throw back in the air which it came from and to rejoice in the few moments of it not being in their hands.
Not being able to take anymore Loki threw a blast of energy at the cactus mid air. The whole plant caught on fire and fell to the ground. Once on the ground Loki watched it with disappointment. Loki felt like burning all of its kind to the ground.
Loki and Thor sat there and watched the cactus turn to a black crisp. Their hands bleeding and full of spikes. They say there on the porch and questioned why this plant species would even exist. Was it’s purpose just to be a complete nuance to society?
As the brothers sat there in confusion, Valkyrie approached their home.
“Oh my god. You destroyed the cactus I got you.” Valkyrie gasped.
“Cactus more like SPAWN OF ODIN.”
“Loki you’re been holed up you in your room so I brought you this. I thought it would be good company since it’s so easy to take care of.” Valkyrie said.
He supposed it would have been easy to take care of. It could have just sat on his counter and now here it laid on his porch.
“WellI. Valkyrie it’s also easy to burn.” Loki now feeing silly that he ruined a nice gift from his friend.
Valkyrie coming over to the two of them. “Loki is there anything you won’t burn? I’m running out of gift ideas.”
Loki just laughed. They spent the next four hours removing the spikes from Loki and Thor’s hands. They knew that they would look back and laugh at this. Loki did like to burn things. Especially things he didn’t understand. Cactus are ugly and useless. To Loki they will always be qualified to burn. But next time there’s a gift on his door step he will give it more than 5 minutes before burning it.
On this fine summer day, Loki added cacti to the list of useless things that exist on Earth and to his personal list of “burned before I thought “

Quarantine Sucks
But on the bright side, there is absolutely nothing stopping me from pumping out the chapter edits of “Shatter This Glass And Set Me Free”. I managed to edit four whole chapters yesterday (adding roughly 2,000 words onto each of them!) and I’m working on some more now. Chapters 1-30 are all finished up and I’m hoping to have the rest of the fic finished by the end of the week! 
Can I manage to edit 19 chapters in the next 4 days? Lord, wish me luck!
Anyway, I’m thinking of adding in a few more smut scenes into this fic, would that be something you’re interested in? Let me know :)
Stay safe and healthy everyone. Quarantine sucks but it’s for the better health-wise. It’ll slow the spread of the virus and keep those at higher risk safe.
