#loki ends up with thanos and the bois

[lokisprettygirl]

Under his influence (Post Avengers! Loki x female reader)

Read chapter 5 here // Series Masterlist

Chapter 6

Summary : The date with Chase ends horribly but Loki is there for you. He's your friend afterall.

Warning: mention of drinking, sweet loki is sweet, maybe he wants to be called pretty names and be cared for (maybe), midgardian men being an ass

"You are so cute aren't you?" He smiled at the compliment, he loved it whenever you complimented him, he probably would have found it demeaning if an Asgardian woman had said it to him but with you he didn't have to pretend to be someone he was not. Your tone wasn't condescending or filled with a sense of mockery, you just found him cute. Just cute.

"I am cute?" He giggled like a child high on sugary sweets, you were in the kitchen making something but he couldn't smell it, what was happening here? Oh!! He must be dreaming, because he knew you weren't attracted to him in that way. Right?

"Ohhh you are so cute.. adorable" you walked towards him and sat down on his lap which made him gulp, the proximity always made him want to do sinful things with you. Your fingers tucked his hair behind his ears and he felt every inch of his skin tingle. You leaned into him to kiss his cheeks one by one and then you kissed his forehead, the action immediately made him want to curl up to you again, maybe that's why he was having such an offensive dream. He wasn't sleeping in your arms tonight.

"Thank you" he mumbled softly and it made you smile, your thumb brushed over his lower lip which made him gasp a little.

"God you are pretty, you're a pretty pretty boy aren't you?" You whispered against his mouth but you weren't kissing him just yet and he really wanted to kiss you. He hasn't been able to stop thinking about it since last night. You looked down and there was a mischievous smirk on your face, he was getting hard because of all the touching and the praises. Definitely the praises.

"I apologize darling..I uhh--" before he could finish his words you pressed your index finger on his lips to shut him up.

"Shhhhh it's okay, i love that" his eyes widened at the statement, but then this was his dream after all. You wouldn't want him like that would you? He didn't think you felt the heat with him that you so badly craved, he was just a friend, no, not even that, he was just that man who had invaded your life and your personal space. You were probably just nice to him because you felt bad for him. The forehead kisses brought him back to focus on the dream, a part of him felt guilty thinking about you like this, you trusted him and gave him space in your room, you made him a part of your life and he didn't want to lose that.

"You like this?" You questioned as you pressed him against the back of the couch.

"I do" he could hardly whisper as your lips latched onto his neck, sucking and kissing every soft spot you could find.

"Such a good boy, I love you"

He woke up with his heart beating faster than ever, he had fought battles and been in wars but he had never been so out of breaths before.

For once he has awakened before you so at least you weren't up to see the disheveled state he was in at the moment. That and the raging erection he was sporting right now.

He averted his gaze to look at you, you were sleeping on your front with one of the arms right under the pillow, perhaps the reason why you didn't feel uncomfortable having his head on your arm all night, you were used to having yours. Your legs were folded in L shape and it made him smile. He laid down on the bed again to think about the filthy dream he just had about you, well he wasn't seeing Thanos and his men at least so that was a good change. Though he had no right to have such dreams about you, you were going to court some mortal that he knew would break your heart and hurt you.

Did you feel the heat with this Chase fella? You must, why else would you agree to date him if you didn't.

He couldn't sleep again so he got up and took a cold shower. He needed it. He knew he was starting to develop sexual feelings for you but the dream was something else entirely, did he actually want to be beneath you in bed?

He had hardly ever participated in such an affair before, he once attempted to be the submissive one in bed but backed out at the last moment because the lady he was woth seemed too harsh and he didn't feel comfortable enough to ask her to slow down or be gentle with him. In Asgard it was uncommon for men to behave in a subservient manner or excude gentleness so openly, it was frowned upon because it showed weakness.

As he opened the bathroom door he found you squirming with your legs crossed,

"Godd I was this close to peeing in my sink" you walked past him as you mumbled.

"Why didn't you just knock?" He questioned you

"I am not going to have a conversation with you while I'm literally trickling here okayy?" You shut the door on his face and he took a step back. Did he do something to upset you? You seemed furious, the snark in you had returned for some reason.

You didn't come out until you were all showered and dressed for work. How long was he in there for it to be morning already?

As you were doing your makeup you could feel his eyes on you. How dare he not come cuddle you last night? Okay you could have done it but he started it in the first place so he should have been the one to come to you after that silly argument or whatever that was, so what if you had a date? You both are just friends. Right?

"What are you looking at?" You asked him so he shrugged and went back to reading his book.

"I see you are getting yourself all prepared for your randevouz…with Chase. Quick question, why would anyone want to name their child Chase? " He asked you as he flipped the page of his book.

"The date is in the evening alright? I'm going to work"

"Are you okay darling? You seem a little…bent out of shape" you glared at him as he said that.

"What about you, what got your knickers in a twist?"

"My knickers are absolutely where they belong" he smiled and it annoyed you even further.

"You're so annoying, live with that" you snapped at him as you grabbed your bag and stepped out of the apartment, you noticed how his face went gloomy as soon as he heard that, he loved the bantering as long as it remained just that. He never wanted you to feel hurt by his words.

As he heard the door shutting with a thud, his eyes teared up, why was he so weak of heart? Should he just leave? Maybe he should, you probably were just done with him and needed your privacy. He decided to talk to you about it in the evening, the last thing he wanted was to lose whatever respect you had for him, perhaps he shouldn't have joked with you first thing in the morning, that Chase guy did get his knickers all twisted like you had said. He couldn't bear the thought of that buffoon putting his hands on you.

You were distracted throughout the day at work, Chase kept winking at you and it only made you want to hurl for some reason. You shouldn't have been so rude to Loki, he was just being playful like always or maybe just maybe he was jealous but that was wishful thinking right? He was a thousand years old and he must have been with plenty of women who must have been much better than you in every sense.

Chase told you that he'd pick you up around eight so you made your way back home. When you opened the door he was sitting on the sofa watching the tv, as soon as your eyes met he turned it off

"I want to apologize"

"I am sorry"

You both mumbled at once and it made you both smile, you sighed and walked towards him to sit next to him. You kept a foot of distance though.

"You're not annoying lo, I'm sorry.. I'm probably just pms'ing" He knew what that meant, you had told him all about it when you had your last menstrual cycle.

"I can be quite taxing sometimes darling.. it's not your fault" he smiled and it made your eyes tear up. You called him the one thing you had despised being called all your life and maybe he was used to feeling that way too and now the one person he considered a friend had told him that he was annoying, that must have hurt. It would have hurt you immensely if it was the other way round.

"You're not annoying, it's just me you know, that's how I am, I can't keep good people in my life, I do something or say something that I absolutely don't mean the majority of the time. It drives them away but I don't want to drive you away lo" his heart fluttered as you said that. Perhaps you didn't find him annoying afterall and he hoped you still wanted him to be here.

"You could never drive me away darling " he whispered softly so you chuckled

"If I had a dollar for everytime I have been told that then I'd be fucking rich right now" you mumbled as you got up. Maybe you needed to get a grip on your emotions today. "Did you clean up around here again?" You asked him as you looked around your space

"Yes, I just wanted to do something nice before I –" he stood up as well.

"Before you what?" You crossed your arm so he rubbed the back of his neck in nervousness.

"I just thought you were feeling troubled by my presence so–"

"So you were going to leave?"

"I just–"

"Where would you go Anyways huhhh? Are you trying to get yourself caught by those Avengers?"

"No I just–"

"Don't leave …pleaseee" your lips trembled as you raised your voice a little so he walked closer to you and hugged you, as soon as you felt his calming embrace you couldn't help but sob. You didn't want him to leave you, you didn't want to lose him too.

"I won't, I'm sorry my darling, I'm sorry " he cupped your cheeks to make you look at him and his thumbs wiped your tears, he leaned down to kiss your forehead and it made you want to cuddle him instantly. And kiss him. And fuck him into oblivion. Unfortunately you had a stupid date to attend. Maybe this date was the reason everything has been awkward between you two because it definitely felt fine before you mentioned it.

He kept looking at you and his eyes were moist too, you just hoped he wanted to stay here with you as much as you wanted him to stay.

"Are you still upset?" You asked him so he shook his head once.

"I never was, i thought you were"

"No I'm just…hormonal " you muttered the last word under your breath

"I will be mindful of that from now on"

You chuckled as he said that. He let go of your face so you stepped away too. He didn't say anything after that and neither did you. You wanted to be done with this date once and for all so you could come back here and you definitely wanted to sleep with him snuggling in your arms tonight. God only if he knew how obsessed you were with him.

"You look beautiful" He mumbled softly after you were done getting ready so you gave him a smile.

"I'll be back soon"

"Have a good time" But not too good.

"Thank you, you be here when I'm back okay?"

He smiled as you said that, you heard the door buzzing but instead of bringing him up you decided to go downstairs instead. Chase wasn't a bad guy per say, he was tall, handsome and nice to you, well atleast for now but you were definitely comparing him to Loki and Loki was a god, he was extra terrestrial and he was way out of your league but that wasn't going to stop you from dreaming about him. Maybe your standards were a tad too high for your own good.

"So Lyla told me you were like a lesbian or something so I was really surprised when you said yes" you scoffed as he said that, even the way he was just eating was ungodly and not at all elegant, everything Loki did was so regal and other men seemed like pests as compared to him, you definitely felt like a horrible person..

"Trust me I'm not lesbian but sometimes I really wish that I was" you answered him and he didn't get you at all. Loki would, he'd atleast smile and look Adorable as fuck even if your words had gotten over his head.

You couldn't wait to get out of the restaurant so you finished your dinner quickly and chugged the wine all at once, you were definitely skipping dessert.

He dropped you home and you told him that you didn't see yourself falling for him, he was upset for sure but at least you weren't stringing him along so that made you feel less guilty. Chase told you that he was thirsty and wanted to get some water so you took him upstairs unwillingly, you just hoped that Loki would hear you talking to him and disappear. As you stepped inside you didn't find him anywhere, you couldn't help wondering where he was though, Was he sitting on the couch or the bed?

"Here.." you passed Chase a glass of water so he sat down on the couch.

Loki glared at him because he was sitting right next to him, the smug look on his face didn't go unnoticed by him. He didn't have a good feeling about this guy and it wasn't even his jealousy this time.

"Look i know you don't want to date me or whatever but maybe we should just fuck and get it over with ya know?" Chase smirked and your face contorted in disgust.

"I think you need to go"

"I think you need to be a babydoll and sit on my lap"

"Okay get out now asshole" you told him as you walked towards the door and opened it, you were starting to feel really creeped out now. So he actually wasn't a nice guy huh? Surprise surprise.

"You're such a bitch" Chase said as he stood up and walked out of your apartment, you closed the door immediately. When you turned around you found Loki staring at you from the couch.

"So I'm assuming you didn't get to feel the scorching heat with him did ya?" He mimicked Chase's accent and it made you chuckle. He was enraged by the way that inferior man had just treated you with such disrespect but he wasn't going to make a big deal out of it, he knew you were fairly capable of dealing with such men in life.

"Heat? Forget heat, It was a glacier" he chuckled as you said that. Norns if he wasn't delighted that you weren't into that toe shaped male any longer.

"Are you alright darling?" He questioned as he walked towards you, your feet were glued on the spot in front of the door as he continued to get closer to you.

"Yeah ..men like him don't scare me" you mumbled as you took a step back and your back hit the door,

"What kind of men scare you then? Do I scare you?" Your breath hitched as he placed his arms on the side of your waist, his wrist twisted in order to lock the door which you had forgotten to do earlier.

"You're a god, but you don't scare me.. because I know you would never hurt me" you looked up at him and he opened his mouth to say something but the words died in his throat because he couldn't stop staring at those luscious lips of yours. Although he knew he had to say something before the moment would pass by him and he'd lose you to some another Chase.

"I would never want to hurt you" he mumbled softly.

"Why? Is it because you care about me? Because I'm your friend?"

"That is absolutely true" you bit on your lower lip as he said that.

"Okayy" you placed your hands on his veiny forearms in an attempt to push him away from the door so you could get away but he didn't budge at all. You looked up at him again and he leaned down to kiss your forehead but like all those times before he didn't stop there this time, he pressed a small peck on your nose as well

"Lo.." you whispered his name and your fingers curled around his neck. As you got on your tiptoes his one arm wrapped around your waist while he used the other one to tuck your hair away from your face. You placed a small kiss on his chin first and then none of you could stop yourself from crossing that line, at that moment you didn't care about anything else. As soon as your lips met with his you felt it all, everything you had ever wished for in life, it was right there in that little kiss. At that moment you just knew nothing would ever compare to the feeling of being able to kiss him like this. His lips moved against yours in perfect sync, he tasted divine, so sweet just the way his whole existence has been.

He pressed your body against the door as he pulled away for a moment to look at you.

"Heat?" His brows furrowed as he questioned you.

"It's melting lava out here lo" you cupped his cheeks and kissed him again, he was overjoyed that you wanted to kiss him as much as he wanted it, he really enjoyed doing it and he knew he'd be addicted to this feeling of you. All his life he had felt as empty as you did, he never could have imagined that he'd ever find someone to fill that hole in his heart. He wanted to tell you how intensely he felt about you but he didn't want to scare you just yet, he wanted to hold onto you for as long as you'd have him.

You only unlatched from him when the desperate need to breathe kicked into your system, it was a weird feeling to actually find the man you had dreamt of all your life but it was too soon for you to tell him that, you didn't want to scare him away, a part of you knew someday he'd get bored or would get annoyed by the little things you do that he must find really adorable right now, you knew someday he'd lose his interest in you but in that moment you just wanted to be the one he wanted to be with for as long as he did.

"Ummm i… " He stepped away a little as you mumbled "Loki..I still want to be your friend..I love being your friend" he noticed how you were fiddling with your fingers as you spoke to him. Your friendship with him wasn't something he wanted to lose either. That bond he shared with you was pure and precious and he always wanted to keep you close to his heart in every possible way.

"I love being your friend" you smiled as he said that.

"Okay..ummm so..we can be friends who kiss sometimes and they cuddle"

"And friends who don't see other people"

"Yes ..that…absolutely that…I was going to mention that..it goes both ways right?" you chuckled nervously as you asked him that.

"Absolutely Princess" The pet name would be the death of you.

"Okay cool.. nice doing friendship with you mister Loki" you brought your hand forward so he grabbed it and placed a small kiss on the back of your hand.

"Anything else Madame?" He smirked

"Noppeeee…buddy" you slapped his chest playfully before you walked away from him. Okay!!!! You desperately needed a moment alone to process what had just happened. You also needed to change your panties.

"I'll go shower" you told him but he kept giving you that killer smile that made you want to run up to him and kiss him again. You closed the bathroom door and sighed deeply, your breathing felt erratic, there was a tingling sensation in your nether region that didn't seem to go away. You just wanted him to touch you everywhere and in every way. Is this what it felt like to actually be into a man you would get to have sex with someday? God this feeling was awesome.

As you stepped out he was already in that tiny bed of yours, the lights were out already so you walked towards the closet and put a lotion on, you also noticed the lack of the princely bed. That was an invitation right? He wanted you to get into that tiny bed right? Of Course he did, you two just kissed and it was the hottest thing ever. Atleast for you.

You walked towards him slowly and he scooted a little to make space for you, you both got into the usual position in just a few seconds, his head was snuggled between your breasts, your leg was curling on his waist and he had his arm around your waist, you sneaked your hand under his head and he purred like a kitten in response.

"God you're so cute" you giggled and his eyes widened, that's exactly how it felt in his dream this morning. Dreams do come true sometimes.

"Am I?"

"Absolutely..you're adorable" I love you. You wanted to scream but it was too soon to show him your crazy side.

"I love the way you hold me princess, I have never been held like this before" he murmured against your chest so you placed a soft kiss on his head.

"Well better get used to it"

He pulled his head away to look at you, even in the faint moonlight you could tell that his eyes were teary and they made you feel sad too,

"What's wrong?" You asked him softly but instead of answering he just went back to finding comfort in your embrace. He was so soft, he was the softest thing you had never known and even though you knew he was a powerful magical being in all regards, deep down he just wanted to be held and adored, he wanted to be cared for, he held a softness you had never witnessed in men around you, maybe that's what attracted you to him in the first place.

Life wouldn't stay the same forever you knew that very well, at the end of the day he was still an escaped fugitive and you feared the day they'd find him here and take him away from you.

What would happen to him? What would they do to your lo? The thought really bothered you. The fear made your heart clench so you tightened your grip around him and hoped that this night would last forever, even though you knew it wasn't possible.

How What if...Zombies Spidey gets to the DCU

Here's the second part of this post

This is about how Zombie!Peter (And possibly others) got to the DCU. the third part will be the HC on what he is going to be doing overther, but for now wh need to know how he got there

Also,I accidentally uploaded my original draft for this but it wasn't finished so I had to delete it so I lost all of that writing TnT

-Starting this off with more timeline explanations! Let's goooooooo

Ok so anything that happens on Earth has absolutely no effect on the rest of the universe, that means that all of the guardian movies and Thor Ragnarok happens when they originally did in the OG timeline.

"But Thor and Loki met Strange 3 days before Infinity war" SHhhhhhh, trust and listen. Since Loki really didn't want to deal with his dad, Instead of just sending him to Earth, She sends him to a different reality Earth. How? But studying the space stone of course. Not to mention he spent a good while researching and studying the aether when he was king and before they sent it to the collector. With this in mind, Loki taught himself how to access and travel to different realities (Remember this)

That means that Bruce B. gets back on Earth at the same time he did in the original, in 2018. Infinity war takes place in about a day or so and seeing as Thanos is on Earth by the end of the episode, let's say that the episode takes place over a time period of about 24-48 hours. A weekend if you will.

That, adding onto the fact I made the zombie apocalypse 7-8 months long instead of 1 month changes a few things timeline wise. Not only does it push Ant-Man & The Wasp back many months, It also means that there's a high chance Bucky's brainwashing isn't 100% gone, and that the apocalypse started around a year or so after Homecoming.

Do with that info as you please :D

-What is happening without space friends? Well...

Loki wasnt Fucking Stupid and died like and idiot here!

(Your the god of fucking mischief and yet the only thing you can think to do is a knife?!? A fucking Knife? Not even to the back as has been stated you have done in your own goddamn show, But right in the face where he can very clearly see it you short dumbass!)

N E Ways- Loki did something, yk, smart and joined up with Thanos cause like, Dude the guy was winning! Loki was gonna play a long game and work with him again to get his opening. . .Then they killed his fucking brother! Yeah this has not been a good day for him- He is sent to stalk Earth with the other dudes but he decides to stay on the ship and

Loki looking down at Earth though the ship's surveillance systems: WTF did the mortals do!?!?

Alien helper Loki asked for and somehow got: Would you like to go down there sir?

Loki getting comfortable and changing his clothes into something cozy after a very traumatic day: Norse no, Get me a bigger monitor and some food, I wanna see where this goes.

And then Loki just watches like the agent of chaos he is. (Remember this too)

What about Thor? Well Thor doesn't really die, Loki just sees the explosion of the ship and just assumes. He still teams up with half the guardians and everything still happens like the movie for him until he gets to Wakanda.

AND OH BOY LET ME TALK ABOUT WAKANDA

(The Guardians? Canon. Literally the only difference could be that maybe Peter Q. and Co. die immediately on Titan without the space roadtrip trio.)

-Wakanda? Gone

Okoye Was sent to America and everything went to hell lol.

No but Seriously, The King was gone, Okoye went to look for him, and Wakanda was left pretty defenseless. I say that the country was already compromised before she left, but it only started causing trouble after she left, so she has no clue what happened. the important thing isn't Okoye though, no the important thing is Thor. More specifically, Thor, Rocket and Groot when they get there. I can see 2 things happening.

1-they get infected immediately and all of a sudden you get a Zombified God with an axe walking around with a tree and a raccoon. All there while his brother is watching the man, he thought was dead, truly die. ( he gets the feeling that this is Karma) Or,

2- They fight the Zombies thinking they are part of Thanoses army like total badasses, not knowing what they are fighting or getting infected. All while Loki I absolutely shell shocked watching this from a 5th monster mouth agape. (Ones watching visions base with the king and witch, Twos watching the group trying to get to the base, Threes watching some old guy sitting in a park absolutely unbothered, And Forths could be the other dead people from the last post, idk, the separate continuity for the AU gets a mention lol)}

Loki in ver. 1: Absolute depression

Loki in ver. 2: Slacked jawed as he watches his brother be a complete dumbass

-So, How did they he skip dimension?

Well everything from the episode happens the same. Maybe a bit more emotional because they are closer, but every one we see die, Dies. Why? Uhh duh, angst and plot potential, why else?

and its, Everyone one we see die. Let me explain. Anyone we see get turned or killed on screen, It's death. If a character dies off screen but the situation is bad and impossible for said person to get out of, it's death. BUT, if a character is killed off screen but theoretically they could escape, they can live.

Ex For this rule: Happy is hit by a speeding car off screen that implies death= Death, Reason? He's a normal dude T'Challa is hit by a speeding car off screen that implies death= Can Live, Reason? He has the powers of the Black Panther

You Got That? cool. with that in mind, and what I can remember atm, this is the list of people who live

Peter P.- Scott L.- King T'Challa.- Bruce B.- Bucky B.- Rocket R.- Groot-Thor- Loki. Igs, if you want the guys from the more hero’s Idea to be here then you can add them ig. That's the list of survivor a

(Why aren't there more women? Idk, take it up with Disney for killing all of them)

Why these guys? Simple. Cause they all are on Earth

-Loki, being a god, takes a look at Zombie Thanos and thinks "Oh no...Oh Hellas no" And decides to do something about it.

Seriously, You expect me to believe that anything other stone then the space and reality one can send them to another reality? No, I don't think so. And who did I say studied and used these stones before? hmmm? So my proposition for you today is simple. take our god Loki with his obsession with the space stone and have him cast a spell to have every living being on the planet left, come with him to whatever other reality he's taking them to. and thus the crossover commences.

-Peter and the others are now screwed.

They all travel and end up at the same place they were in their original universe. (Omg I just realized Loki could end up at the watchtower lol)

They could be in different realities, but they all are in the same position they were before traveling

Peter: Is on plane before Dimension hopping

Peter: falling to his death after dimension hopping

Peter: Paink!

And then they get split up...hurray!

That's the end for this post. The other will be more focused on Peter But we needed This one as a way to get to the next world. Will I change some stuff? Sure, maybe later, But for now I'm pretty tired and I don't have much else to do at this point.

With that said, I hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what you think

LOKI 2.4

I don't see why they can't keep Dox in Holding forever; they had no problem pruning Lokis into the Void for forever. >.>

Dammit, Sylvie, it would have taken OB and Victor five seconds to sign each other's copies of the TVA Guidebook; could you not let them have their brief moment of fanboying joy?

OB's explanation of the Loom is very helpful here; it reminds me of the Doctor on Doctor Who explaining sciencey things to his companions on screen so that the kiddies (and adults, lol) at home could understand what was going on. (Okay, so the TVA as a TARDIS, discuss. Look at all those long corridors its got for running in!) I loved OB's "...the backlog of branches that was created when someone...*looks accusingly at Sylvie* ...killed He Who Remains and released all those branches and ruined my life." (Aw, come on, OB, you're out of the basement now! You're making friends and meeting admirers of your work!)

Loki claiming that the little figure in the model was clearly not him so why did he have to be the one to 'hoof it' and lob the throughput multiplier into the Loom? Well, Loki, you have very long legs and can run fast, also tradition has been established that your character is the one who gets sent to do the hard jobs for others; just be glad you're not being asked to steal Surtur's flame and doom Asgard this time around. (Of course, your decision to abscond with the Tesseract has already caused the TVA to erase the Asgard of your timeline, people and realm both, so...uh, never mind, pretend I never said anything.)

MOBIUS AND HIS PIE AGAIN. I SWEAR TO GOD THAT THE TVA LACES THE PIE WITH DRUGS TO KEEP ITS WORKERS DOCILE AND HAPPY WITH HAVING NO LIFE OUTSIDE OF WORK AND POSSIBLY ACTS AS A CONTINUAL DOSAGE OF SOMETHING THAT KEEPS THEM FROM REGAINING THEIR MEMORIES? MOBIUS CAN'T GO TOO LONG WITHOUT ANOTHER SLICE OF PIE BECAUSE HE'S EXPERIENCING THE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS OF AN ADDICT. I was so happy to hear Sylvie call him out on his pie-seeking habits and his refusal to try to find out any information about the timeline he was pulled from. Like sure it might hurt to remember a family whom he'd lost, but I'd rather honour the memories of loved ones by remembering them than being too cowardly to do so.

I have to agree with the point I saw raised in another post of 'WHY do they have to fix the Loom? Surely all the multiple timelines managed to exist just fine on their own before it was created?' Also, hoo boy, did Loki's speech about how you can't free a people and then leave them to look after themselves remind anyone else of Asgard's justification of being the ruler of the Nine Realms? Keeping a military presence on those conquered worlds? AND NO, LOKI, YOU'RE NOT A GOD, YOUR DAD TOLD ME SO IN A BIT OF THE SACRED TIMELINE YOU DIDN'T GET TO EXPERIENCE. Although this time at the TVA is Loki's post-Thanos period when he was claiming the same thing in the Sacred Timeline, wanting to be a 'benevolent god'. So...that actually ties in.

Um -- do we all agree that Miss Minutes looked orgasmic watching everyone (except Brad) be crushed in the cube thingie?

(Was Loki pruning himself related back to the time slipping thing? I still don't really understand what the point of that was.)

OB: But if I reboot Miss Minutes, we'll lose the magic dampeners in the TVA!

Loki and Sylvie: THIS IS THE OPPOSITE OF A PROBLEM!

Oh hell yeah, Bradley, prune that bitch! I HOPE YOU END UP IN THE VOID WITH A HUNGRY ALLIGATOR, RAVONNA.

Kudos to Timely for sensibly asking if it's safe before sticking his head inside some alien machinery and not just blindly following instructions.

LIGHT! BEAUTIFUL LIGHT IN THE TVA! I don't care what this means as long as I can properly see what's going on!

Oh. Oh shit. Spaghettification is what's going on, huh. *Salutes Victor Timely* May you get the afterlife you hoped for, sir, you died a noble death. Guys. Guys, stop staring into the blinding radioactive light; I'm sure that's not good for your eyes.

And...what a cliffhanger; it's like FINALLY all the pieces are falling into place and the story is getting to someplace exciting. That was a good episode; I hope it keeps up this pace next week and something good happens if the Loom is going pear-shaped. I gotta try to remember to watch this on Thursday for a change.

@delyth88 -- finally felt inspired to make a long reaction post! (And my stupid computer glitched about 2/3 of the way through and I had to rewatch what I'd already seen to remember what I had been commenting on! I blame the TVA.)

#loki series #loki season 2 #loki spoilers #loki #mcu #sylvie #OB #victor timely #um i didn't notice the episode title #loki 2.4 #brad wolfe #we do all agree that's a play on doctor who's bad wolf right? #i haven't seen anybody mention that but i thought it immediately in his first episode #mobius #sylvie being like 'i didn't want to end up in the pie place' #DO NOT RESIST THE PIE #LISTEN TO ITS SWEET LIMEY SIREN SONG #EAT MEEEE #i think the episode title should be the loom of doom #'loki odinson and the loom of doom' sounds like a good name for a junior tie-in novel

It was never about a throne.

Like I completely reject the notion that Loki took over Asgard at the end of The Dark World because he "wanted a throne."

Because he said in the very first movie that he never wanted a throne. All he ever wanted was to be seen as Thor's equal. He wanted to stop living in Thor's shadow. Why would that have changed?

It didn't. Loki took over Asgard at the end of TDW as his own of getting revenge on his family for taking him for granted.

Like what is the first thing that happens when Thor brings Loki back to Asgard?

What is the very first thing Odin says to Loki?

"Why did you do that?"

"Are you okay?"

Nope, none of that. Let's review--

So the conversation between Loki and Frigga establishes a few things--

Loki has given up hope. He's assumed that Odin is going to have him killed. That's why he says, "Define worse."

He knows that he can never live up to his parents' expectations of him, so why would they believe anything he has to say about the situation regarding Thanos? Why would they believe that Loki never actually planned on ruling Midgard but was sent there because he was being manipulated and blackmailed?

They wouldn't. That's what he's thinking anyway, so he decides to play along cause they've already assumed the worst of him.

Loki wants to hear what Odin really thinks of him -- his precious baby boy that he rescued from Jotunheim.

And one of the first things Odin says to him is,

"All this because Loki desires a throne?"

You can tell from the opening scene that Loki is dreading his conversation with his father. He just wants to get it over with as soon as possible. And the entire conversation is him basically saying,

But it was okay when you did it?

Except he knows it wasn't. He's just throwing Odin's hypocrisy in his own face because now the truth is out there, and everything Loki learned in the first Thor movie has been reconfirmed: Odin does not care about Loki, and deep down he knows he should have just left Loki on Jotunheim to die. Because regardless of whatever plans he had for Loki -- to use him as a pawn in some political scheme:

"By the way, Laufey, you remember that son of yours that went missing eons ago when I was here slaughtering your people--?"

Regardless of those meticulously thought out, painstakingly laid plans Loki is a bad egg. Irredeemable. Undeserving of any sort of sympathy or second chance.

Loki just wanted to hear him say it because he was expecting to die. He wanted to die. He doesn't want to live knowing that he's ruined his mother's life, disappointed her, and completely destroyed whatever chance he had at repairing his relationship with Thor. He doesn't want to live with the memories of Thanos's torture in his head or knowing that the only father he'd ever had only ever saw him as a gambling chip. That's why he spent the entire scene snarking off and calling his dad out on his shit.

So, yes, by the end of the movie he's furious and resentful.

Because his family is still unwilling to say, "We're sorry we fucked up. We're sorry we hurt you."

Throughout the entire film Thor never comes to see Loki or ask if he's okay. The only time Thor goes to Loki throughout the entire movie is when he needs his help to save Jane. He doesn't care about the pain Loki feels -- no, he's just worried about some mortal that threw herself at him during the seventy-two hours he spent banished on Midgard.

Odin and Thor just assume the worst of Loki without even bothering to ask if he's okay. They completely disregard all of the abuse, the favoritism, and the fact that he said flat out that he never wanted a throne. But, yeah, at the end of the day that must be what its really about cause Loki is nothing more than a spoiled brat of a prince, nothing more or less, right?

And that is why Loki took over Asgard and sent his father to a nursing home on Midgard. He is a child, lashing out and furious at the fact that he is being held responsible for his parents' and brother's sins. Now, what was it that Rocket said in the first GtoG movie?

"I didn't ask to get made."

Well, Loki never asked for Odin to rescue him from Jotunheim.

And since the Loki fandom has so far portrayed the emotional depth of a teaspoon, let's just throw this is here to see if we can make the parallels a bit less subtle--

So all of the healing and growth that Loki accomplished in the TV series is not because he's suddenly focused on something other than a throne. Because it was never about that. Ever.

Something Real: Chapter Two

Pairings: Loki X Reader

Warnings: Language

Summary: Readers house has another visitor.

Still not sure where this is going but I’m glad people are enjoying it. I hope you all like part two as much as you liked part one 💚🖤

~~The following morning~~

BANG BANG BANG

WHOOSH. BANG!

“Y/N!” You hear Thor’s booming voice in your home.

“Ughh fuck’s sake…” you groan.

You roll out of bed, fatigued from all of the tossing and turning and lazily walk out to the living room.

“Thor..it is too early for this..what is the problem?”

“The problem? Why is my nephew messaging me in the middle of the night that I need to come here immediately? That you are in terrible danger?”

“I wouldn’t say I’m in danger just mildly inconvenienced.”

“What has happened? What danger did Vali speak of?”

Vali huh, that’s not surprising. Little shit.

“Look Thor, it’s a lot to explain.”

“Ah hello brother..”

God dammit.

Loki walks into the room with a stupid smile on his face, dressed in his Asgardian clothes.

Thor looks at him in astonishment at first and then rage.

“What is this?…Brother..you didn’t..”

“No brother I did not fake my death again..your Loki from your timeline certainly did meet his end by Thanos’ hand..I am from a different timeline..in fact the last time I saw you, you and your merry group of morons stopped me from taking Midgard..”

Thor shakes his head in confusion, “so you never went back to Asgard after your defeat?”

“No brother, I escaped with the tesseract before you could remove me from Stark Tower.”

“Norns..the multiverse..it’s real?”

“Very..look, I have been through enough in the last few weeks to last me a lifetime, I just want to find a new home. I used this device to get here..” he holds out the tempad.

Thor shakes his head again in disbelief, “this is unbelievable..” he looks at you, “the children? They saw him then?”

You nod your head sadly, “Vali accused me of lying to him, Narfi has been cautious.”

“Sounds like them..alright brother..what will you do now?”

Loki shakes his head, “I don’t know honestly. I didn’t expect to find a timeline where I had children..”

You didn’t hear the twins step in the room, “you don’t want us?” Narfi’s sad voice asks.

Loki whips around and kneels before Narfi, “oh my boy, I said I did not expect it not that I didn’t want you. This was certainly a surprise but a happy one I promise you, I never thought I would have children..”

“Alright guys, I’m gonna make us some breakfast and we can talk some more.”

You prepare the food while Loki, Thor and the boys sat at the table and Loki told his tale of how he got to our timeline, being careful what he says since there were children at the table. 

You finish the food and everyone quietly eats, Vali breaks the silence..

“So..what now?..are you gonna stay here?”

Loki looks to you to answer.

“Um I don’t know bud, we have a few things to talk about still.”

“Like what? Dad’s home..we can be a family now..” Narfi says hopefully.

“Oh…guys..I..” you stutter.

Loki takes the moment to chime in, “boys your mother and I need some time to decide on all of that, but I don’t want you to worry. I’m not going anywhere..”

He looks directly at you when he says that and to be honest you don’t know how to feel about it.

“Uh oh…mom..I think it’s happening again…”

You look at Vali, “burst?”

Vali nods his head almost frantically.

“Ok..up up up! We can make it out the back door to the backyard!”

You roughly pull Vali out of his chair and out the back door, running with him in your arms to the middle of the yard. Thor comes running behind you and took Vali from you, “get back y/n!”

Thor places Vali down and you step back as far as you can, you bump into Loki’s chest and his hands reactively go to your shoulders.

“What’s going on?” He asks concerned.

“His magic, sometimes he gets these bursts of magical energy that he can’t control.”

Narfi steps in front of you, watching his brother with a concerned face.

Loki steps around you both and walks to Thor and Vali.

“Move Thor.” He shoves Thor out of the way and kneels in front of Vali putting his hands on his son’s tiny shoulders.

“Close your eyes. Reach for your power. Don’t let it control you.”

Vali closes his eyes and whimpers, “I can’t”, tears start streaming down his face.

“You can. You are a son of Loki. Now focus.” He can see a green pulse starting to form around Vali, he is slowly losing control of the power inside of him.

“It hurts.”

“I know my son, breath. Focus. I can see the pulse of your magic, feel that pulse inside of you. Can you feel it?”

Vali scrunches his whole face, “yea..”

“Ok you need to seize control of that power, keep your eyes closed and take a deep breath”, Loki takes his hand and places it against Vali’s chest and takes his own deep breath, “breathe out” releasing his own breath helping his son along. “Envision the pulse of your power around you, envision it getting smaller and smaller. Bring it back into your body.”

Vali is putting so much effort into controlling his power he’s starting to sweat. His body must be so overheated because his jotun form is starting to creep across his skin.

Loki sees this and immediately changes his own form, placing his cold blue hand on his son’s neck.

“That’s it my boy..focus..breathe..don’t let it control you..”

You see Vali take deep breaths and the pulse around him slowly starts to get smaller and smaller. 

You see his skin start to go back to it’s pale complexion, Loki’s doing the same.

Vali opens his eyes, his breathing a little labored, “wow..I’ve never been able to control it like that before…”

“You have a great power inside of you, If you would allow me I would love to teach you how to control it.”

Vali looks over to you, “please mom! Please! Did you see what I did?!”

“I did baby, we still have to talk about where we go from here ok?”

He looks down dejectedly, “ok…”

Loki gets his attention, “hey..we will figure it out alright..”

Vali nods his head and walks towards his mom and brother.

“I’m tired..” Vali leans his body against you.

“I’m sure you are baby, why don’t you go lay down for a bit.”

He yawns and nods his head, “ok..”

He goes inside and Narfi follows behind him, still a little weary of the new presence in their home.

You walk up to Loki, “thank you for helping him..it’s been such a struggle.”

“If you would allow it, I could teach them both how to control their power. They need a teacher.”

“They have a teacher”, you reply.

“Who?”

“Gorm” Thor responds.

“Gorm?! That is who you have training my sons?”

“There was no one else after Ragnarok Loki, we did the best with what we had left!” Thor defends.

“Well that’s over. I will be taking over their studies.”

“Whoa whoa whoa..you don’t get to show up and just decide who’s going to be responsible for teaching my children. Thor’s right, we did the best we could with what we had.”

Loki takes a moment and calms himself, “my apologies, I have overstepped. I know this has not been easy for you, raising children alone is hard, but raising children with magic? I’m so sorry I wasn’t here..”

You take a breath, “it’s not your fault.. you sacrificed yourself to save your brother and your people..I’m gonna go check on the boys.”

You go inside leaving Thor and Loki in the backyard.

“Tell me about her.” Loki says to Thor, not making eye contact with his brother. His eyes are staring at the door you just walked through.

“She is….a force.. and a wonderful mother. You loved her very much.”

“The children love her, I hope I have not disrupted their lives..all of this in an effort to learn my place in a time I don’t belong.”

“Brother, your place is by her side, with your children..you should discuss this with her.”

“She will never see them as mine! They will always belong to that other variant!”

“So prove to her that you want to be here for her and the children..you fell in love with her once, you will do so again.”

“I do not wish to speak of this anymore, I’m going to check on the children.”

Loki walks away from Thor and goes back inside, he walks to Narfi’s room first and knocks. When he doesn’t hear a response he opens the door slightly but finds it empty.

He closes the door and walks to Vali’s room, the door was cracked open slightly so he peaked inside. He sees you sitting on the bed, your back leaning on the headboard with Vali’s head laying in your lap fast asleep and Narfi was sitting next to you, his head leaning on your shoulder. Loki was about to walk in but then he heard Narfi ask a question that stopped him..

“Is daddy gonna stay?”

.. “I don’t know baby.. do you want him to?”

“I think so, he helped Vali with his magic..”

“Yes he did.”

“Do you want him to stay mommy?”

You take a second..Loki can hear his own heart beating.

“I don’t know, I want what’s best for you two and for him too. He’s not from this time, he doesn’t know me..I just want you both safe and happy.”

“I love you mommy.”

“I love you too baby.”

You kiss Narfi on the forehead and then Loki walks through the door, knocking softly as he walks in.

“Hi.” He shyly smiles.

“Hi.” You smile back.

“I..just wanted to check and see how you all were..I don’t want to intrude..”

“No it’s ok” you look down at Narfi, “come on lets leave him to get some sleep.”

You all walk out of Vali’s room to leave him to rest.

“Why don’t you go read your book so I can talk to your dad..”

“Ok momma”, he grabbed his book from the living room coffee table and went outside to read in his favorite spot in the sun. You can hear him greet Thor who was still outside.

You and Loki sit on opposite sides of the couch facing each other.

You start, “so…what now?”

Loki nods and then looks at you thoughtfully, “I understand if you don’t want me to stay in your home but I would like your permission to be around Narfi and Vali. I plan on staying on this timeline..permanently.”

You give him a long stare, “I don’t know Loki, if you disappear again..it would crush them.”

He quickly shakes his head at you, eyes starting to fill with unshed tears, “no..I wouldn’t leave them, I would do anything within my power to stay with my family. Please…the boys, Thor..you…you’re all I have.”

Again you’re looking at him as if you are trying to detect any falsehood.

“If you fake your death or try and kill a powerful being with the equivalent of a butter knife again I will find you and kill you myself. No matter what timeline you try to run to.”

Loki smiles at you, reaches into his pocket and pulls out the tempad.

He continues to look at you but his smile soon turns serious as he uses his magic to set it on fire. You watched in amazement as the device turned to ash in his hands.

You turn your shocked gaze to him, “why?”

“Because I want to prove to you that I will not leave you or the children again. From the moment I stepped into your time you all became my priority. My glorious purpose. I will live the rest of my days protecting you and my children. I have no use for the tempad any longer, I believe I have finally found a place to stay and to be at peace…If you’d allow me..”

A hopeful feeling starts to bloom in your chest. He makes it so hard to not love him.

“You can stay, we’ll go to Val tomorrow and let her know you’re going to be staying here. We’ll let the boys know at dinner later”

“Why would we have to inform her exactly?”

“Oh your brother didn’t tell you?”

He shakes his head causing you to laugh.

“He abdicated the throne to her, she’s King of New Asgard.”

He looks at you for a moment and then jumps off the couch and storms outside.

“Thor!”

You just hysterically laugh, having Loki here is going to be very interesting to say the least. You doubt you’ll ever have a dull moment again..

[disgracefulthings]

I gotta rant a bit about Loki

I have not seen season 2 of his show, but season one killed my love for MCU Loki

Let's start with the movies. The first two Thor movies are usually regarded as some of the worst MCU films (especially the second), but what I like about them is at least Loki has a consistent character arc throughout them (along with the first Avengers film). Loki learns that he's a part of a race that is treated like monsters on Asgard, and this destroys him. He tries to off himself at the end of the first Thor movie, only to end in the hands of Thanos. He went through so much shit throughout all three of these movies, and Thor 2 ends with him on Asgard's throne, leaving the audience wondering what he will do now he got what he thought he wanted.

Then Thor 3 happened. Look, I like Taika Waititi, and Thor 3 is an enjoyable film, but it destroyed Loki's character arc. He's just a silly guy now. Why does he try to backstab Thor? Because he's silly, no other reason. Plus, after Odin has lied to Loki for his entire life, he tells him that he loves him and magically all that trauma about him being a frost giant is gone! In fact, I think the MCU has forgotten that Loki is a frost giant at all! (Shut up, I know about What If). Ok, but what about the next movie. Thanos has finally come and now Loki can confront the person that gave him the mind stone to take over Earth- and Loki's dead.

I really don't like how they killed Loki. Loki is not a character you kill off to show how dangerous this villain will be. Mostly because the movies had forgotten to finish his character arc, but I guess everyone had forgotten he had one at this point.

Did anyone cry when he died? I sure as hell didn't, and I'm a crybaby when it comes to my faves dying. I was more shocked, and I convinced myself that this was another fake out. Honestly it may seem like cope with all these fans believing that he is still alive, but he has faked his death before, and nobody wanted to believe that his story will end in a dumb way that felt like the writers not believing that he mattered as a character.

But he did, and now we have season 1 of Loki. I honestly thought the writers realized how loved Loki is and they would finally finish his character arc. I mean, the show takes place after Avengers 1, and that's when Loki still hated himself for being a frost giant.

But no, Loki is silly again. Thor 3 has really ruined Loki. I understand that the first 2 Thor movies weren't as beloved, but I loved all the Loki scenes. There's a reason why his character became so popular despite the movies not.

Anyway, the first season of Loki isn't all bad. I love that it gave Loki a friend, and Mobius plays off him really well. And... yeah, I think that's all I like about it.

Now on to everything else. To start off, I really don't like Sylvie x Loki. Not only does it give me incestuous vibes, I really don't think Loki should have a love interest at this point (I don't ship Mobius x Loki too because of this point, but I will admit they have way more chemistry than Sylvie x Loki). But as I said, the writers didn't care about his character arc and so they forced a romance they had no time to build up, leaving me confused on why they had them fall in love in one episode, and ohh boy, the episode is super fucking dumb.

They established that you can do anything in an apocalypse situation and there would be no anomalies detected, SO WHY DOES LOKI AND SYLVIE FALLING IN LOVE CAUSE AN ANOMALY??? Because the plot said so, I love lazy writing in the show with my favorite character!!

God, and there's the queer baiting. Now, I can excuse the train scene because daddy Disney can't have shows say the word bi, but the scene where Loki asks the other Lokis if they ever seen another female Loki, and they say no???? WTF!?!? Is Loki gender fluid or not! Also, this is a stupid ass line that didn't need to be in the show? There are an infinite amount of universes, but only 1 female Loki who got caught by the TVA?? That doesn't make sense!

I'm done with Loki and I'm done with the MCU. The only good MCU show I've seen was WandaVision, and they still botched the ending and had a horrible follow up movie.

I heard Loki season 2 was better, but I still don't know why I should even bother

#loki deserves better #than this shit #the mobius not recognizing loki scene had more impact than the sylvie kissing loki scene #oh and i also fucking hate time travel plotslines!!! #loki laufeyson #loki #thor movies #loki season 1 #marvel mcu #mcu

[lokiprompts]

I've seen a lot of posts on my feed complaining about how Loki isn't "bad boy" Loki anymore. And "new" Loki is too soft. That it's Tom with black hair, and not actually Loki.

Guys, LOKI ALWAYS HAS BEEN SOFT. Thor 1, momma's boy, desperate for daddy's approval, our sweet prince playing pranks, cheering on his brother, and riding his horse with a big boyish smile.

It's his life, finding his life has been a lie and all the internal racism that turned him hard, and angry. Drove him to suicide and anger and into thanos's torturous hands.

Then he gets captured by the TVA, finds out his mother died, his whole home planet blew up, and literally witnessed his own death. That is such a mind fuck. And he's also so smart! We know this, so of course he is going to play along to buy his time.

But in the end he sees the same anger in Sylvie (as much as I don't like her character, but that's more personal) and he knows it gets no where and in this situation it would do more harm that good.

The man is desperate for love and understanding. Always has been.

Loki's always been soft and I will die on that hill.

[bucky-h0e]

A/N: Welcome to literally the only Universe where Alpine has a happy childhood (I am so sorry). This is going to be the most canon-divergent universe and I am so excited for Bucky and Alpine to have their happy bio family. I may also eventually turn this into a reader insert but that is a future project (not like I have six on the go at the same time).

Warnings: Bucky Barnes having one night stands, Bucky Barnes will never be doing that again, Bucky Barnes gets a girl pregnant, major canon divergence, Bucky Barnes gets his happy ending

Bucky Barnes: ex-Winter Soldier, Now DILF | Masterlist

Bucky Finds Out He's Going To Be A Dad

At last the world was safe

Steve Rogers had retired the shield, instead taking to training Sam to take up the title as Captain America

of course Sam still had his grievances when it came to this change, but after what had happened with the flag smashers and Isiah Bradley, he figured if anyone was to take up the shield, maybe it should have been him

Steve and Bucky could not have agreed more

Steve had began taking art classes in his spare time, but worked with Sam as a volunteer talking to Veterans and helping them adapt to civilian life whilst under going his own journey

he went to therapy with Bucky (Bucky was not happy about doing double sessions since the courts made him do a separate session to ensure he was stable)

he was even considering getting back into the dating world

after all, Peggy had lived her life, it was time for him to do the same

Tony had also retired after the war with Thanos. His brief rush with death made him rethink the life of a super hero - he's consult occasionally but for the majority, he was a retired stay at home father

Pepper was still running the company after all

he enjoyed finally being able to rest, supporting Morgan and Peter with all their endeavours

and being able to plan fabulous baby themed parties throughout Pepper's second pregnancy

he and Bucky, whilst not on regular speaking terms, had sat down and engaged in a civil conversation in which Bucky was finally able to apologise fully

their relationship is strained, but they can be civil with one another when needed to be

Tony some what trusts Bucky to look out for Peter on missions

but he knows that he and Sam are Peter's main annoyances

Steve had managed to bring Natasha back from the dead, unable to explain just how, nobody questioned it, just happy to have her back in their lives

she had taken a well deserved holiday after everything she had done and sacrificed

seriously, she was gone for months, no body knew where she had gone

Thor and Bruce had wondered if she'd accidentally ended up on Sakar and couldn't decide who they felt more sorry for, Natasha or the Grandmaster

speaking of Thor

this man had the biggest heart attack of his life

Loki had once again faked his death, having to spend the war in hiding from Thanos after a promise of death for his betrayal

Thor was rightfully pissed, refusing to speak to his brother for months

the avengers got the chance to actually see Loki grovel for forgiveness from his brother

only for this man to grin and accept money from Clint since he bet that Loki would come begging for forgiveness and Clint figured he'd die before he saw the day that happened

Loki got the last laugh however when he introduced Thor to the young boy he'd basically adopted whilst in hiding

Wanda, who had briefly slipped into the darkness, used her powers to search the multiverse (something she'd neglected to tell the other avengers until it was almost too late) for Vision and had found him in a universe which had been dying

when she'd brought him into their universe, her and Doctor Strange had it out, it nearly tore the team apart once again and nearly brought Tony and Steve out of retirement

but after many days of studying various spell books and looking into many futures - they were able to settle on a course of actions which meant the new Vision could stay in their universe without it tearing itself into pieces

how nice

now Bucky

he had gone to therapy, made his amends, listened to Sam and Steve's advice, made friends with other grumpy old men

he finally felt content

and with Steve in his life, he slowly began to found pieces of his old self mixed in with the newly found version of himself

he loved it

one night, he Sam and Steve had decided to attempt a guys night out

Bucky and Steve, for obvious reasons, couldn't get drunk

but Sam could and he was loving the fact that he always had two designated drivers at his beck and call

so Sam goes pretty heavy at the bar, drinking like its his last night

everyone is enjoying seeing Captain America pissed out of his mind

Steve Rogers literally could never

so seeing this version of Captain America reminded them of his humanity

it also gave Steve an actually heart attack

"Sam get off the bar!"

"ALL THE SINGLE LADIES"

Bucky is loving it, filming it on his new phone

he'd bribe Sam with that later

He's just about to head back to the booth they'd situated themselves in when he notices a young woman had made herself at home there

despite their coats being there

"Sorry miss, that's our table."

"Oh yeah? What are you gunna do about it?"

theres a flirty undertone there and Bucky picks up on it

and he likes it

"I'm sure you'll enjoy it, whatever it is."

"Shall we find out?"

Honestly this man will never get over just how confident and outgoing modern women were

not that he was complaining

he spends the night talking to her, flirting back and forth

they're leaning in close together as they share stories

she talks about how she moved from South Korea at a young age, he gives her stories of his own childhood in return

before he knows it, he's walking her back to her place and their leaning against her door before she invites him in

"Look, I should just tell you now. I'm not looking for an old timey romance here..."

Bucky was fine with that

he wasn't ready for a relationship definitely not, but they had made a small connection

and she was an attractive young woman

and bucky barnes is a simple, simple man

"Neither am I."

the next morning, after a night that Bucky will not forget anytime soon, he slips out of her apartment, hearing a muffled 'bye' by the woman he leaves behind

when he gets home, he's disappointed to see a hung over Sam led on his couch with his head essentially in a bucket

not as disappointed at Steve who sits in his arm chair, glaring at his old friend

"And where have you been James?"

"You left without even saying goodbye."

"Do you know how worried I was?"

Sam looks up and all it takes is once look at the disgruntled Bucky who just wanted to get in bed after a long night

starts grinning like the idiot he is

"Bucky got some."

"James Buchanan Barnes you sly dog you."

"That's my boy!"

he definitely gets teased by these two but lets be honest, Sam is teasing Steve about the fact Bucky wasn't even looking for anyone and managed to get laid and Steve is there tryna get in the game

Steve reminded him it's because he had to do damage control after the new Captain America tried twerking his ass to Taylor Swift

they spend the day together, just three friends watching random shit on TV and enjoying themselves

apart from Sam who was so heavily hungover he genuinely thought he was going to die

Since that night, Bucky hadn't really thought much of it

he didn't need to go out and get with some girl every night, it was just nice to know that he actually still had game

he'd thought of the woman maybe once, but other than that wasn't too fussed if she never wanted to see him again

he's survive

but imagine his shock when he gets a knock on his door nearly two months later and opens it to reveal her stood, annoyed as all hell at the trouble she just had to go through to find this man

"Jesus! I know you're an avenger and everything but do you have to be so difficult to find? Had to force it out of Wilson, who by the way is an ass."

as if on queue, a message from Sam comes through on his phone reading 'you're welcome ;)'

"Uh.... hey? Come on in, how can I help?"

"Glad you asked."

she's so annoyed and Bucky is so confused as she shows him the three positive pregnancy tests in her pocket

e x c u s e m e w h a t

he doesn't blink

just stares

she has to click her fingers in his face to snap him out of this little daze

he doesn't know what to do

should he apologise?

should he propose?

no proposing would not be the best way

after all it wasn't to 40s anymore

oh god

his mother is rolling in her grave

"I.... Uh...."

when i say he's panicking

he's panicking

but he's so calm on the outside

she thinks he's actually a robot malfunctioning until

"I left my stove on."

Man is trying to walk out of his own apartment

she stops him, sits him down and gets the poor man a glass of water

"Are you sure you aren't the one that's pregnant?"

Bucky nearly faints at the thought

"Woah okay there soldier,"

she's sat on the arm of his chair, rubbing his back as he comes to grips with the situation

"I am... so sorry. I don't.. we used protection. You said you were on birth control."

he may have been confused on the idea of birth control seeing as the pill hadn't become mainstream until the 60s

but that name implied it's purpose, it was one of the few things that made bucky think

ah, the wonders of modern medicine

"Yeah well, they're only like 99% effective and sometimes the pill can be even less than that depending on which on you take"

ah

the wonders

of modern medicine

"besides, you're a super soldier. no doubt your swimmers are uh super as well,"

bucky could die right there

of course this would be the way he finds out the serum effective everything about his body and DNA

"Well this is what i get for being happy."

this dramatic ass man

he just hadn't considered that fact that this part of his body would have been effected in such a way

"look, i've got an appointment today, I wanted to tell you before hand but like I said, you were hard to find. You wanna come to the appointment and we can talk about this?"

all bucky can do is nod

he stands and follows her out the door, the walk to the appointment is long and quiet

she's occasionally patting his back in comfort

it's not like shes heartless

the man literally just fought in a war and was still in recovery, despite being a lot better than he had been

when they got the the doctors, they sat together in the waiting room and Bucky looked terrified as he read all the flyers and posters

literally this morning all he wanted to do was laze on his couch

he had no where to be

he'd done his training for the day

Sam and Steve were doing special Captain America training

and now here he was sat around a doctors office surrounded by pregnant lady with the stranger he'd knocked up weeks ago

to say he wanted to vomit was an understatement

when her name was called, they both stood and walked into the room

Bucky had done the decent thing and left the room briefly when she got changed for the examination but was back inside and sat at her side soon enough

she was trying to make small talk and bucky was honestly trying to answer but Jesus Christ he was nervous

he tries smiling at her as she makes small jokes but he can't help the nagging feeling in his stomach

he doesn't even know what it's trying to tell him

and it's not until the doctor smiles and tells the two that she's found their baby

"There we are! I'd say by the looks of it, you're around 7 weeks."

holy shit

it was tiny but it was there

they had to lean in closer to see the baby, but when they did they couldn't both help but laugh at the size of it

it was so so small and it barely looked human

but it was there

Bucky had the biggest smile on his face watching the screen

"You're both looking pretty healthy, I'm happy with that. Have you been told your options in regards to carrying out the pregnancy or deciding not too?"

his heart dropped at the thought but he tried not to think about it

obviously they needed to discuss this

"Actually, would we be able to have a minute?"

the doctor nods and leaves and bucky takes a deep breath

okay

looks like they were going to talk about this now

he tears his eyes from the screen, frozen on the little sack of cells

he looks at her and gives her what she could only describe as kicked puppy smile

"What do you want to do?"

he asks her the question first, not wanting to get any hopes up

wanting to get straight to the point

she sighs and gives him a serious look

"I don't..."

Bucky's heart is breaking

"I don't want a kid. I can't look after a kid, I have zero maternal instincts."

Bucky nods at her words, eyes glancing at the screen

maybe he could get the doctor to print it out

"but... i can see you want this."

he looks back at her and shakes his head at her firmly

"Don't do it just because of me. It's your body, your choice. I won't hold it against you."

she stares at him for a little while

she didn't want to be a mother

she wasn't ready to have a child to support just yet - to be honest she was sure she'd never be ready

kids just weren't in her plan

that being said, she always had wondered what pregnancy would be like

and she knew she'd never get herself in a situation like this again

she didn't know if Bucky would get this chance again

and if you were gunna have a kid with anyone and let them raise it

might as well be an avenger

"To be honest, I wouldn't mind it. I think, if even if you didn't want it I'd still try carry to term and out it up for adoption. So, if you want the kid, then let's do it. But I was serious, I don't want a romance, and I'm not ready to be a mother."

Bucky is nodding his head quickly

"That's fine. I'll raise the kid, won't ask for child support or anything. You won't have to worry about anything, you can have as clean of a break as you want."

she nods, they'd work out the finer details later down the line but for now, they smile at each other and look at their kid on the screen

"It's so damn ugly."

"Yeah, you definitely are not ready to be a mother."

they laugh together and the doctor comes back in, nodding at their plan and prescribing the necessary prenatal treatments and organising their next appointment which Bucky was adamant he be available for

Bucky didn't forget to ask about the pictures, asking his baby mama for permission of course

When they get back to his apartment, he's pinning it on his fridge and she's shaking her head at him being a total dad

that night, in his excitement and her amusement, they settle those finer details

Bucky would take full custody of the kid and she would sign away her rights

she'd still be able to visit, Bucky made sure to tell her that, and if in the future she decided she wanted back in their kids life and it was something the kid also wanted she'd be able to

he also asks for a medical history, just in case something came up and he needed a full breakdown of anything that could cause the baby harm in their future

She meanwhile agrees to it all, happy with her own decisions and the fact that Bucky is so understanding in them

she only asks for help with the hospital bills and anything that relates to baby care and Bucky agrees

he'd figure something else, but helping her pay the bills was the absolute least he could do, especially since she was going to be bringing a piece of him into the world

something he'd thought would never happen in a million years

they'd exchanged numbers and decided to do weekly check ins, since Bucky had asked to be apart of the pregnancy journey with her, wanting to offer as much support as he could

she had also asked for him to record the reactions of the other avengers when he told them

he hadn't even thought about that part of the journey

too hooked up on the fact that he was going to be a dad

that someone in this world was finally going to be blood related to him once again

he couldn't be more nervous

or more excited

now he just had to tell Sam and Steve

how he was going to do that he didn't know

he still didn't know three days later, howe to slip it into a conversation when they went round Steve's for a more calmed down version of guys night

they're sat around the TV, watching some random crap that Sam had put on as apart of his 'educating the oldies' project he had going on

now there could have been another way to tell them

maybe if Bucky had used half of a braincell he would've thought of another way

no

instead, this man waits and wait and wait and waits

until in the middle of a dramatic scene in the movie

when Sam is mid beer sip

and Steve is mid popcorn crunch

to spit out

"Oh i'm going to be a dad by the way"

the men are choking as soon as the words leave bucky's mouth and they're looking at him like he's crazy

he is

he's whipped out the baby scan that he'd cut off the strip and kept in his wallet

proudly and nervously showing his friends

Sam is shook

Steve is malfunctioning

"How... when.... who?"

"Was it the girl at the bar?"

"James Barnes did you not wear protection?!"

"C'mon man, wrap it before you tap it."

Bucky is shaking his head and handing Steve the picture

"We used it and she said she was on the pill. Best guess we have is that it failed."

"Well i'll be."

Steve claps him on the shoulder, smiling at his old friend

"Congratualations Pal."

Bucky grins and nods

"She said she's not ready to take care of it, so I'm getting full custody when the time comes. But the kid's gunna need it's two stupid ass uncles,"

he pauses for dramatic effect

as if this moment wasn't dramatic enough

"and a god father,"

Sam jumps up, movie completely forgotten about as he salutes to

"SHOTGUN"

"You can't call shotgun on being a god parent."

"Yes i can, I just did."

"You gotta work for it,"

"Oh i'm gunna -"

Bucky shakes his head because he already knows the kid is gunna have Sam, Steve and Nat as god parents (the latter was the one he was absolutely dreading telling)

he's looking at the picture of his baby whilst Sam and Steve about who will be god parent and can honestly say that for the first time in a while, he was excited about this new chapter in his life

it was definitely going to be a wild ride

but it would be so so worth it just to have his own flesh and blood in his arms once again

🌿 💞🕯️💌

🌿how does creating make you feel?

Alive. Powerful (in some ways). Really good about myself because I'm utilizing my imagination and creativity and all of those things I learned and worked toward in my writing classes/degree. I feel really good about myself when I'm writing - like I'm fulfilling part of what I'm in this particular life for, which is storytelling.

💞what's the most important part of a story for you? the plot, the characters, the worldbuilding, the technical stuff (grammar etc), the figurative language

The characters are definitely the most important thing, I think. I like to get their voices right - their voice, mannerisms, their expressions, the specific tone and lilt of their voices. Everything else - the plot, the worldbuilding, the settings - those are secondary to the characters. The plot (or scenario, if it's not something huge that requires a full-out PLOT) drives the characters, but I mean, the plot can change from story to story, so it's really still mostly about the character. I'd be lying if I said the technical stuff wasn't a top important thing - I'm an English/writing major, and all those grammar and spelling and punctuation things are hella important to me. Those keep me honest and make me slow down and pay attention to how I'm writing. Figurative language fits in with that, too, though, because it's all the stuff I absorbed in trying to become a better writer, either by reading or by what my awesome professors passed along to me.

🕯️was there a fic that was really hard on you to write, or took you to a place you didn't think it would take you?

I just answered this one here!

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

From Too weird to live, too rare to die, a prompt fic for @kleenexwoman that is a Justin Hammer/Loki (in canon, post-Endgame, everyone lives) bonkers fic:

-------

Still humping the American Dream

Tony closed his eyes, pinched the bridge of his nose between the thumb and index finger of his left hand.  He took five deep breaths.  Counted to twenty.  Took five more.  Counted to ten.  He opened his eyes, the right one pale amber and couldn’t see nearly as well after his snap that ended the war with Thanos. 

Justin still stood in front of him, hands defiantly on his hips, watching him. 

“Anthony, I’m not here to just take up space and piss people off,” Justin said in that affable tone that still managed to dig underneath Tony’s skin and threaten to give him hives. 

“And yet you do that so well, Justin,” Tony snarked as he felt the threat behind his eyes indicating a headache was imminent.  He winced at the harshness of his tone, even with this pain in the ass he never expected to see again, much less share a living space with him. 

Still, they’d made peace with Loki when he returned with Thor and Bruce to help them handle Thanos, and as it turned out, the guy wasn’t so bad in the long run.  Tony liked his sass and sense of humor – always had – and he was pretty handy to have around. 

Perhaps he could make himself get used to Justin Hammer, too.  The guy wasn’t dumb, and since they’d released him early for good behavior and some other reason Tony had already forgotten for the moment, he’d dropped some of that pretentious peacocking that paralleled Tony’s own, which to be fair, he’d been happy to mostly give it up since it got tiresome after a while. 

“Who?  C’mon, Tony, I’m a big boy.  I can take it.  You can tell me who else I’m pissing off besides you,” Justin cajoled, his big grin stretching across the angles of his face.  He’d been trying, but Justin wasn’t stupid; he knew he’d fucked up by trusting the wrong guy.  Didn’t help that he kept trying to compete with a guy known for his genius and his ability to stare any problem in the face, punch it once with his intellect and creations, and boom, no more problem. 

“Pepper for starters,” Tony blurted out, “though she doesn’t live here, and she’s kind of gotten over the idea of you being around Morgan since the kid actually likes you and trusts you.” 

The expression on Justin’s face burst with a sappy fondness he used to reserve for his nephew alone, and he schooled it quickly when Tony had to dial back that initial Papa Bear concern that his kid was around several former villains these days.  Respectfully, he tried to look serious, to take Tony’s comments seriously. 

“To be fair, your kid’s awesome and one day’s gonna run circles around us to make the world a better place,” his words came out clear and heartfelt, and Justin thought he noticed that Papa Bear pride seeping into Tony’s features. 

Note to self, praise that adorable little big-eyed bunny, and that’ll keep Stark from wanting to shoot your nuts off.

“Yeah well.  That’s the truth of it.  Oh and Nat’s still keeping an eye on you.  Everyone else...you’re a somewhat clean slate with.  Not like you’re the only former bad guy in residence,” Tony remarked and went back to what he’d been working on when Justin wandered into the kitchen, namely working on agility and firm (but not too firm) grip with his new arm by making and rolling out pie dough. 

“You want some help?” Justin asked when it seemed like Tony was having trouble with one of the cookie cutters he was using to cut out star shapes (to go with the crescent moons).  He held up both hands when Tony just tossed a glare his way.  “No problem.  Just...offerin’.  As for Natasha, eh.  Sam mentioned it took her a little bit to warm up to Loki, too, so I’ll just...be patient.” 

Justin was in no rush to be liked, and he really didn’t expect to be.  It wasn’t even that he was being a martyr or self-deprecating or living on his low self-esteem.  The prison counselor got him to see where he’d fucked up way before he’d actually chained his personality to impressing the military and broke Anton Venko out of custody. 

Piece of shit and his dumb fucking bird.

Could I request something where Loki is used to the people clearing out of his way even though it bothers him since being on the team for some time? He stops in a store for a few items and most people either stare or just leave. He notices reader, she doesn’t flinch or shrink back. She actually approached him and asks if he could reach down an item for her. Which leads to some small talk between the two. He asks why she isn’t afraid like everyone else and she explains that she’d never be afraid of a good guy like him. She knows his whole story and she’s been a big fan since he joined the avengers. He offers to take her out on a date and they exchange info and really hit it off beautifully.

Sorry it took me a long time to get to this. Hope you enjoy 💚

Loki x Female reader Meet cute

Loki hated Midgard. It's been years since he has joined Avengers, he fought Ultron and helped them defeat Thanos but he was still a pariah for the people of midgard. If there was one thing they were able to do really well was hold grudges for a lifetime. But he couldn't really blame them, people lost their homes and loved ones in the war that he waged due to Thanos's influence on him. 

He was at the store just buying some midgardian snacks he loved to munch on, his vault was also running out of the essentials he liked to keep in there. An elderly lady passed by him on the sweets aisle and gave him a dirty look. Then there were few teenagers playing that leaked footage of his menacing speech at the Stuttgart as they teased him and made fun of him. 

"Kneeel kneel kneel motherfucker" a pimple ridden teenage boy screamed at him so Loki glared at him, if he was the same mischievous Loki he would definitely turn these kids into frogs but he has matured since then so he walked towards the other side of the aisle. Fortunately there was only one girl, standing on the opposite end and she seemed to mind her own business. 

You looked at him and your heart was racing, he had a black jacket on along with black pants and even a dark green t-shirt underneath. You could smell his cologne even from the distance and he looked way hotter than he did on video or news. You were nervous, you wanted to go talk to him but you didn't want to disturb him.

You heard those pesky teenagers making fun of him, you wished people would just forgive him. If there was one thing you knew really well, it was that Loki was the one who suffered the most during these ordeals. You looked at him and his eyes met with yours, green as sea. Your heart fluttered and you looked away. 

After a long time Loki finally was meeting a midgardian who didn't give him a death glare or ran towards the other way. He looked at you again and you already had your eyes on him so you instantly turned your head and squeezed your eyes. You focused your eyes on the top row and tried to pull the packet of the sweets down but you couldn't reach them. Then you heard the sound of his dress shoes clicking and took a deep breath. He was approaching you.

"Uhh I can get it for you if you want?" He asked you and you looked at him again. His deep voice, that accent made you tingle all over. You wanted to drown in those eyes, it was as if you had developed an instant crush on him. You have been a fan of him since he fought Ultron but that admiration was limited to respect. You have never thought about him in your bed before.

"Sure yes..thank you so much" you mumbled softly and he smiled. He didn't even have to get on his tip toes, he just raised his arm up and grabbed the packet of the snack. Tall as a glass.

"I didn't mean to stare earlier" Loki smiled as you said that. He was used to being glared at but not with such softness. 

"It's completely fine dear" he smiled and your breath hitched.

"It's just you are really ho.. handsome" ohkay shutu now. He chuckled as you said that, he loved your honesty. He found you really adorable too, he loved your smile and those kind eyes. 

"Thank you..so are you. I mean beautiful you are beautiful" he squeezed his eyes at the fumble and that relaxed you a little.

"I have been called handsome before" 

You chuckled and he did the same. You just stood facing each other and looking into each other's eyes before you both snapped out of your thoughts. 

"It's refreshing to meet someone who is not afraid of me" he mumbled and you smiled. 

"Why would I be afraid of the man who protects us? I just wanted to tell you that I have been a huge fan and you ..you are a hero of mine. Thank you for everything you do for us mortals" he smiled genuinely after a long time. He wasn't used to hearing such things about himself. His eyes teared up at the kindness you showed him in that moment. He wanted to talk more and get to know you more.

"Thank you darling, that means a lot" a curl fell down on his forehead making him look like an angel, you knew you'd have to get out of there before you would embarrass yourself further.  

"I should go" you smiled and he nodded

"I ..umm I don't think I asked for your name" 

"It's y/n" 

He put out his hand so you did the same and grabbed it to give it a shake. So small. Your hands felt so small in comparison to him.

"Y/n I was wondering if you wanted to have dinner with me tonight, that's only if you feel comfortable. Don't feel pressured at all" he spoke softly, you could feel the shakiness in his voice. He wanted to take you out on a date? You couldn't believe it. 

"I ..yes.. of course, that would be my honour" I love you 

"Alright, that's.. here's my number darling" he conjured a notepad in his hand along with a pen. Seeing his magic in person was surreal to say the least. 

You both said your goodbye, you couldn't stop smiling and when you reached home you called him instantly. You both decided on a time and a place. He actually wanted to take you to your favourite restaurant so you'll be comfortable there.

To say that you had an amazing first date was an understatement. He was sweet, he treated you like a lady, so chivalrous and you didn't think that existed anymore, so so handsome. You noticed the looks people gave him, some people even left the restaurant.

"What are you looking at? Never seen two people on a date?" You asked the woman sitting on the adjacent table and she grabbed her purse to walk out of the restaurant. Loki smiled as you indirectly stood up for him and you could feel how uncomfortable it made him so you tried to keep his eyes on you as much as you could. 

You knew his history and how he was tortured by Thanos to attack New York, world knew that as well but they still needed someone to put a blame on. You haven't been harmed by that attack so maybe it wasn't your place to judge people for judging him. But you didn't want anyone to hurt him anymore, he didn't deserve that.

On the way back home, you both felt nervous, there was a natural bond between you two but the nervousness that came with the first date lingered. 

As you stood outside your building he held your hands in his.

"I really enjoyed the date, I would love to see you again sweetheart, I hope you feel the same" you had your heels on but you still had to get on your tiptoes to kiss his forehead. He placed his hands on the side of your waist and pulled you closer to him, you gulped as you looked at his soft lips and he had his eyes on yours.

"May I?" He asked you politely so you wrapped your hands around his neck and kissed him softly. His taste intoxicated you and that was it, that's when you knew that you'd want to do this again and again.

He felt soothed, the kiss felt electric, he hadn't been touched and held so tenderly in such a long time. People of Asgard despised him and people of midgard hated him. Women did get with him for one night stands but they never could even think about their future with him. As your lips moved in unison, he really felt okay after a long time.

When you both pulled away your lips were swollen and plump. 

"Ummm I'll see you tomorrow?" You asked him and he nodded. You smiled and stepped away from him to get inside your building, as much as it killed you to do that. 

  "Thank you darling, I can't wait to see you again, you're still standing in front of me and I miss you already" your face flushed as he said that. 

"I feel the same Loki. I will see you soon I promise " you turned around to leave but then you looked at him.

"By the way if you asked me to, I would definitely kneel for you without a thought" 

You ran inside the building after that, leaving his face flushed with a crimson hue and his heart pumping in his chest.

Maybe he didn't hate Midgard so much now.

Summary:

A year has passed since the Snap. As you look to find a fresh start in life, you end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. A small cult dedicated to the newly revitalized Norse religion chooses you as a sacrifice with the belief that this will give Thor and the other gods the strength to undo what Thanos has done. What you don’t know is that human sacrifices come with a powerful magic — those who are sacrificed become linked with the god they have been given to.

It’s been a millennia since a human was sacrificed to one of the gods. You’ve been bound to Loki.

CHAPTER 22

The following week Agents Hill and Coulson stood by their word and came by your apartment to take the actual statements on Thanos. Loki stayed in line… for the most part. You had to remind him to be good on multiple occasions. After two hours of question after question, the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took their leave, promising that was the end of it unless more questions came up later. They also reminded the two of you that you were being closely monitored.

You definitely wouldn’t, that was for certain. And as you said, Loki was a changed man. He was adapting to life on Earth. It wasn’t easy but he was willing and that was what mattered most. And with the learning curve came some bumps.

One day the both of you were in line for food at a busy restaurant and a man blatantly cut the line, scissoring his way in front of you. He was about forty years old and had a rather punchable face. He looked around briefly to see if anyone noticed. When no one said anything, he looked down at his phone. But you and Loki saw, given that he cut right in front of you.

“Excuse me,” Loki said to the man. “Excuse me, sir.”

The man looked up after the second time. “Yeah?”

“I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I will help enlighten you. There is a line here, and you’ve cut us and about twenty other people.”

“No, I didn’t. I’ve been here the whole time.”

“Oh, not just a cheat but a liar too. I saw you do it.” Loki crossed his arms, looking down at the man.

“Look, buddy, I don’t know what your problem is. I’ve been here the whole time, I just went to the bathroom and came back in line. This is my family.” He gestured to the people beside him, who gave no look of recognition. A teenage boy shook his head at Loki.

“They clearly have no idea who you are. Get out of line or I will assist you.”

“Assist me?” the man asked, raising his voice.

“Loki, go tell a manager or something and they can kick him to the back,” you said.

“A manager won’t teach this liar some manners,” he replied, teeth gritted.

“I’ll teach you to mind your business, asshole,” the cutter replied. 

He rolled up his sleeves. Loki just watched and allowed the man to take a swing at him. He punched the god in the stomach decently hard, but Loki stood there as if nothing happened.

“What the..?” the man said.

“Was that supposed to hurt? That was a bit ticklish, if anything.”

Then Loki grabbed the man by his shirt collar and lifted him off the ground. He shrieked, kicking his legs. The chatter in the restaurant picked up and some of the people in line witnessing began to cheer. 

“Put me down!”

“Loki, come on!” you shouted. 

You casted a spell and the man’s feet were back on the ground. He gasped and coughed a few times, pulling his shirt collar. 

“Fine,” Loki conceded, his fists knuckled white.

He exited the line and came back with a manager.

“You, back of the line,” the manager said. She was a woman with blond hair pulled back into a bun.

“He tried to kill me!” the man sputtered.

“You punched me in the stomach,” Loki said calmly.

The family the man claimed to be a part of backed Loki up, telling the manager that they saw everything. The woman pointed to the back of the line, threatening to call security if he didn’t move.

“Screw all you people,” the line cutter shouted. He walked to the exit and slammed the door behind him. A few people clapped, jeering at him on his way out.

“You did good,” you said to Loki after the chatter settled down.

“Back on Asgard a person like that has every right to be punished by receiving a swift kick to their rear,” Loki replied. “But thank you.”

“That guy was a major dick and he deserved it, but remember we’re being watched, and I don’t think an agency like S.H.I.E.L.D. is bluffing. I don’t want anything to get ruined for you.”

“Yes, you’re right.”

They came over twice a month, sometimes both and other times one or the other. Each time the agents had more questions. Some pertained to the Infinity War, others about your relationship to Loki, some about Loki’s behavior. They never said Loki had been placed on parole but it sure felt like it. But there was no other choice, it’s not like the two of you could fuck off to Asgard or Vanaheim or some other realm. Not even another country protected from S.H.I.E.L.D. So Loki would be on his best behavior and show them he wasn’t the man who tried to subjugate Earth.

And he wasn’t that man. For such a long time you worried that your feelings for Loki were false, emboldened by the bond. Almost nearly from the beginning you felt attraction to him, and it grew. It grew so fast that it felt like a freight train hit you. Some days you didn’t know what to do, when you’d see him, those feelings came back and you wanted to hit the god of mischief or hide. You refused yourself from getting close to him because what if it was another one of his lies, what if his bond was lying to him? But now it’s gone and you can carry on with life. You know now that every second the bond pulled you to him that, yes, it was lust spurred by magic, but they were mixed with your true feelings, too. It was an enormous weight from your chest and off your shoulders not having to doubt yourself any longer. You loved him with every ounce of your being, and he you. The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were but an obstacle that the two of you could deal with.

Thor visited when he could, sometimes Valkyrie tagging along when she got bored. Loki and Valkyrie didn’t exactly get along, they had more of an antagonistic brother-sister relationship, but you acquainted her enough that you would consider her a friend.

Usually when Thor came it would be for lunch or a brief date. It was really nice getting to know Loki’s brother. Of course you knew him from when he saved the world a few times, but knowing him on a personal level was entirely different. He was very sweet and considerate, often when he visited he’d bring gifts for you. You wondered if he was always like this or if it was a way of thanking you for being Loki’s companion. He let you know many times how grateful he was that you were in Loki’s life.

One day, however, Thor came to visit, and it wasn’t on normal terms. With him was Clint Barton, Sam Wilson, Bruce Banner, and agents Hill and Coulson.

Loki’s demeanor changed instantly. His shoulders tensed and eyes narrowed. You patted his arm and greeted everyone at the door. Most everyone said hello back, save for Clint and Sam who were busy glaring daggers back at the god of mischief.

“To what do we owe the pleasure?” Loki said, his question dripping with sarcasm.

“Loki, please,” Thor said. “This is good news we are here for!”

“Good news, as you deliver it with some of the most powerful people on the planet behind you?” he retorted.

Thor’s grin disappeared. “Brother…”

Bruce spoke up. “It is good news, Loki. If you’re willing to hear us out.”

Loki looked to you. You nodded gently.

“Fine then,” Loki said, stepping aside and gesturing inside your apartment. “Come in.”

The heroes and S.H.I.E.L.D. agents filed in. Bruce had to squeeze through the door and duck while walking so as to not bump his head on the ceiling. You led everyone to the living room where everyone took a seat, save for Coulson and Maria Hill, who stood in the threshold.

“The reason we’re here today,” Clint said once everyone became settled. “...is because there’s an opportunity for you, Loki.”

Both you and Loki quirked your eyebrows, but said nothing. Clint nodded to Sam.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. and we have decided to extend an offer to you to join the Avengers.”

Loki’s cackle pierced the room. His pearly white teeth flashed as a rupture of laughs washed over him. Sam and Clint’s expressions soured, as did the faces of everyone else.

Thor laughed nervously. He clapped a hand heavily on Bruce’s shoulder.

“Ow!” said the scientist.

“I’m sure Loki is just jesting, isn’t he?” Thor turned his head to his brother. Through gritted teeth he asked. “Isn’t he?”

Loki winded down and his eyes widened. “Oh, you’re serious?”

“I told you guys this was a waste of time,” Clint said, sinking into the couch.

“This is great news,” you said as you got over the shock. “I’m just… a little confused. I didn’t think in a million years you would offer something like this to Loki.”

“Believe me, neither did we,” Hill said from the back.

“Well, I shall be declining,” Loki said. “Now if you will all vacate my home.”

“Come on, Loki,” you whispered. “Hear them out.”

He stared at you, then sighed.

“Was there more to this… opportunity?”

“Let me lay it all out for you,” Coulson said. 

He moved from the entrance of the living room to the other side of the coffee table, pulling up a chair to be eye level with the god of mischief.

“You have two options here, Loki. Join the Avengers and help save the world when it needs heroes, or decline and be put to trial for the hundreds of crimes you committed against humanity.”

“And with the Avengers, I’ll not be surveilled any longer?” Loki asked, sitting back. His arms crossed and he pursed his lips. “I highly doubt that.”

“Yes, you’ll still be kept under surveillance. However, with the Avengers keeping an eye on you, if they continually make good reports on you, we’ll loosen the leash. We will also count you helping the world as time served, and if you remain good, you will not be put to trial.” 

Loki’s lips pursed even further out. The contempt was palpable. “Sounds fun.”

Coulson leaned forward, his hands clasped together. “Listen here, smartass. You tried to take over our planet, just because you saved it doesn’t cancel out the crimes – the war crimes – you committed over a decade ago. Hundreds of people died, do you understand me? You’ve had it incredibly easy and we can’t have you wandering around doing whatever the hell you want, the only reason you’ve been allowed such a privilege is because your brother lives here on Earth and he’s been advocating for you.”

“Is this true?” Loki turned his head to the god of thunder.

Thor grew sheepish. “Yes, brother. You did a great thing to stop Thanos, but you also did a terrible act to Midgard. They wanted to throw you in a cell and let you rot there. I almost had to beg them not to and to give you a chance to see how much you really have grown.”

Loki’s demeanor loosened a bit. His lips unpursed and his eyebrows turned upward. The god cleared his throat. “I was… completely unaware.”

“What? Did you think we’d just let you live here?” Sam asked.

“I suppose I just didn’t think about it. A lot has happened these years. I have endured much strife and trials never before presented to me. The present is the first time I’ve been allowed… peace.”

Clint, agent Coulson, and Bruce nodded their heads.

“So, I have no other choice then,” the god said.

“You have a choice,” Coulson replied. “But I can tell you right now that if you are put to a trial, all eight billion of Earth’s inhabitants have a reason to hate you, and no jury would be free of bias against you. You would be found guilty, there is no doubt about that.”

“You’ve put me in a cell once. What makes you so sure I wouldn’t escape again?”

Bruce put his face in his hands and let out a light groan. Sam and Clint’s eyebrows drew together.

“Loki…” you and Thor whined.

“That a threat?” Hill said from the back.

“A jest. You Midgardians are so uptight.” 

The tension in the room didn’t dissipate much. Coulson was adding some kind of note to his phone.

“It is settled then,” Loki broke the silence. “I shall become…” he grimaced as he said: “an Avenger.”

Thor rose from his seat violently. “HUZZAH!”

He yanked Loki to his feet and drew him in for his signature bear hug. Loki let out not the most dignified of yells.

“Thor, please, this is hardly something to celebrate,” Loki choked out. “Put me down.”

The others rose from their seats. “I’ll need that in writing,” Coulson said. “Then, we’ll give you a week to pack your things up and you’ll be moved to the new Avengers compound.”

Loki snapped his head. “A week?”

“And what about me?” you asked.

Coulson smiled. “We weren’t quite sure what to do about you. Loki taught you how to use magic, but you have no negative record of any kind. You have the potential to be dangerous but there’s nothing we can do, and frankly, I don’t think there is anything to do. You seem like a decent person to me. If you want to move in with Loki, you can, but your life will change drastically. You’ll have to sign about thirty NDAs, most of which are punishable by revocation of rights, imprisonment, or even death if broken.”

Sam and Clint left your home first, muttering amongst themselves on their way out. You and Loki signed a document, then the two agents excused themselves. 

“Welcome to the team,” Bruce said. A light fist bumped Loki on the shoulder. “See ya, Thor.”

Thor was the last to leave. He stayed, voicing his excitement. And you couldn’t help but be excited too. Loki, on the other hand, was still processing and mourning his decision. You did feel for him; he barely wanted to work with you initially and now he was going to work with a team, and some of these were the people whom he attempted to kill in New York.

The god of thunder took the three of you out to dinner as celebration. Loki grumbled every time his name and the word “Avenger” were used in the same sentence, but you were sure Loki appreciated Thor’s brotherly love and care. He kept Loki out of prison! Not just any prison, but interplanetary war criminal prison. Loki was certainly indebted to Thor. At the very least, he consumed his food and drink gratefully. 

When it was time to go, Loki did the unexpected. He pulled Thor in for a hug.

“Thank you.”

Thor rested his hands upon his brother’s back. “You are my little brother. I am always here for you.”

They broke apart.

“And I am glad that we will be fighting alongside each other once again,” Thor said with a grin.

Loki smiled back. The god of thunder gave you a swift hug, then with Stormbreaker he ascended to the skies to return to New Asgard.

Back in your own home the two of you settled down for the night. Your lover found a book to read, and you went to take a shower before bed. You gathered your night clothes and set them on the bathroom counter, leaving the bathroom door a crack open. It was just you and Loki here, you did not feel the need for privacy. After undressing, you stepped into the shower, turning the knob slightly to get that perfect temperature.

With the shampoo you lathered your scalp, massaging your skin. The water and bubbles cascaded down your head and body. You opened your eyes and jumped upon the sight of Loki in the shower with you.

“Ah!” you yelped. “Ow… you made me get shampoo in my eye.”

You began to rub your eye with the towel hanging over the shower wall hoping to abate the stinging.

“Allfather, you are a sensitive creature,” the god said.

“You scared me!” you retorted, unable to hide your smile.

Loki’s face mirrored your own, the corner of his mouth upturning. You let go of the towel and rinsed your hair and head of the product, white soapiness gathering around your feet and floating toward the drain.

“That better?” Loki asked.

“Yes, no more shampoo in my eye, thank you for nothing,” you teased.

“Perhaps I may make it up to you?”

You hummed. “And how’s that?”

Loki took the bar of soap and lathered it in his hands until they were thoroughly covered in suds. Then he raised them and began to clean you. He massaged your arms first, your back, your ass. You gasped as he took a generous handful and squeezed. A pleasurable tingle shot up your body. 

“How does that feel?”

“More like you’re seducing me than cleaning me,” you said with a sly smile.

“Can I not do both?”

“Of course you can,” you said, looking up at him.

You bit your lip and moved your palm to his half-erect penis. Instantly, he hardened, blooming like a flower. He kneaded your breasts with his soapy hands, staring into your eyes like it was a game, while you attended to his manhood. Your body began to submit to him; your nipples peaking, blush forming upon your skin, and breaths shuddering. No, you didn’t want him to win. He always won when you played these games. You removed his hands from your body, shifting to your knees so that your lips were level with Loki’s head. Fingers wrapped around his cock, you leaned forward and planted your lips atop it. 

Loki, usually composed, stiffened. His body blocked the majority of the water flow but occasionally a drop of water sprayed your face – also the shower was also a bit cramped. It was a little awkward, but having Loki submit to you and pleasuring him with your mouth was a gift well-worth putting up some discomfort for.

You brought him into your mouth, letting his shaft hit your tongue. Despite the water having cleaned the two of you, you already tasted the salty sensation of his pleasure beading at the tip of him. As you sucked him off, one of his palms buried themselves into your hair, tugging lightly. A jolt of electricity shot through your womanhood as he pulled your hair, reestablishing his power over you. You maneuvered your mouth and lips around him, feeling him grow harder with each ministration. He controlled the pace with your hair now in his hands, slowly but deliberately fucking your mouth, his hips rocking into you. 

Every once in a while you looked up to meet his gaze. Those bright green eyes never left your person – full of want, domination, and always: mischief. He took immense pleasure in the sight of you on your knees.

You sucked more vigorously, taking him deeper and deeper into you. He glided down your tongue and your hands made sure to grip him tightly as to let him know that he wasn’t going anywhere, not until he spilled his precious cum into you. The rocking of the god’s hips became faster and faster, the occasional sweet moan spilling from his lips indicating that your job was being completed satisfactorily. He fucked your face until his cock rumbled. Loki’s seed followed a low groan, shooting out in thick ropes into your mouth. He pulled himself away and grinned, watching as you swallowed his gift to you.

“I say we did a fine job of cleaning up, you especially. Thank you.”

Loki turned the knob for the shower to cease, grabbing a towel for himself and handing one to you. The two of you stepped out and began drying up, until Loki suddenly snatched you up and placed you on the bathroom counter.

You giggled. “What are you –”

“I relish the sight of your pretty lips wrapped around my cock. It is right where you are meant to be. But it was not enough; you look so delicious half-wet and naked, water droplets spilling down your breasts… It is maddening.”

His fingers touched your entrance. You flinched as the feeling of pleasure spread through you under his fingertips, then he pulled away. “So wet still. Did you enjoy pleasing me?”

You nodded. “Yes.”

He knelt down on the tile floor, spreading your knees and began to feast upon you. You placed your hands on either side behind you and leaned back. All of you became exposed, and Loki’s silver tongue lapped and flicked at you until you became a stuttering mess. You felt the sweet gates of release but then he stopped just before they would open.

Loki stood up, his cock fully erect again. Drops of water dripped from the ends of his hair and onto his chest, and you watched the rise and fall of his breast guide the drops downward. He reminded you much of the swimming hole under the waterfall back on Folkvangr, and how you could barely look him in the eye. You really stood no chance even back then, did you? How you wanted him.

And oh, always, did you indeed want him.

With naught warning but a kiss, Loki plunged himself into you. You moaned into his lips as his cock stretched you and began fucking you on the bathroom counter. It was messy, loud, rough, and a little slippery. Bottles of product crashed onto the floor, barely hiding your moans and pleas for release. Every time, he rutted into you as if it were the first, as if he was starved of sex for a millennia. It caused you to claw into his back and cry his name over and over, and you loved it. He filled you to the brim and then you clenched around him. The acoustics of the bathroom echoed your moans back and the floodgates released, as did his own. Some of you and him dripped onto the bathroom counter, evidence of the love you created.

Loki nibbled your ear and retracted himself.

“I may as well jump back in the shower after that,” you teased. But then you snapped your fingers. The counter as well and your womanhood instantly became clean of Loki’s seed.

“Don’t act like you didn’t love it,” he said slyly.

—

Now clean and dry, the two of you settled in for bed.

“How are you feeling after today?” you asked Loki.

“Uncertain. I am indebted to my brother for his actions to keep my freedom, but as for this Avengers nonsense…” he waved his hand irritably.

“I think you’ll be a great Avenger. Maybe they’ll even make you into an action figure.”

Loki scoffed. “I certainly hope not, most of those are cheaply made and do not resemble the hero they represent whatsoever. I would rather not look like my face is melting.”

You giggled. “Well, you’re not wrong there.”

The room fell silent. Loki returned to his book he’d been reading earlier before he came into the shower. You spent that time scrolling through your favorite social media apps on your phone, occasionally interrupting Loki’s read to show him a silly meme or some other post that caught your eye. Most of the time he just rolled his eyes or said nothing, every once in a while engaging with the content. It was a calm, pleasant evening, whiling away the hours of the night before sleep.

Loki shut his book and placed it on his nightstand. “I must say something.”

You looked up from your phone. “What’s that?”

He pierced your soul with those emerald green eyes of his. “Thank you.”

“For what?” you said, caught unawares by the sudden earnestness.

“My darling, for everything. When we first met I was such an ass. Little did I know my soulmate was brought to my doorstep. I assumed since you are naught but an earthling you were insignificant. But you extended me patience and compassion – things I did not deserve – in my time of struggle.”

“Naught but an earthling?” you said.

Loki cleared his throat. “I did not mean it like that, I –”

“I’m yanking your chain. I know what you meant. We’ll kick that superiority complex out of you one of these days.” You smiled.

Loki made a face and shook his head. “What I am trying to say is that you saved me. You have made me take a second glance at life.” He spoke your full name and your heart fluttered. “You… you are my everything.”

Tears welled in your eyes. “You didn’t have to thank me for all of that.”

“I’ve wanted to for some time now. Your kind soul has thawed my cold, Jotun heart and without you, I would not be here right now.”

You grabbed and pulled him in for a kiss. When you parted, you looked Loki in the eyes, smoothing a lock of his hair between your fingertips.

“I love you, Loki Odinson,” you said.

“And I you, mortal woman.”

“To add to your point, Thor helped, too. You wouldn’t be here without him either,” you said.

“Please do not ruin the moment by mentioning my brother. I am not trying to court him.”

You snorted, breaking out into a cluster of laughs. Loki looked as serious as the grave.

“Sorry,” you said, the last of your giggles letting out. Then your voice fell to a whisper. “Loki, I’ve never heard you refer to yourself as a Jotun… not like that.”

He shifted. “It is what I am.”

“I would like to see him again someday. I would like to see you.”

Suddenly, you felt a chill come over you. Where your skin touched his it grew icy cold and a shiver wracked your body. You watched as Loki’s pale, fair skin darkened to a deep, saturated blue. Ridges rose upon his forehead and arms like small canyons being molded into being; these were a slightly darker blue. The sapphire color spread throughout, disappearing through his hair and encapsulating every inch of him. Lastly, his eyes turned entirely red, with the iris and pupils dark as blood.

“Will tonight suffice?”

Your nerves reacted instantly, retreating your palm at the sudden cold feeling. You placed it on his cheek again and gazed upon the blue god of mischief. He was unequivocally beautiful. Staring into his eyes, you noticed a change in his demeanor. A hint of insecurity crossed his face along with doubt, uncertainty, and worry.

“You’re divine, Loki,” you said, looking deep into those ruby red eyes.

“Am I?” he asked, as if in disbelief. He looked about ready to crawl into a hole, or perhaps knock down the nearest vase.

“Yes. And I’m so proud of how far you’ve come.” You proved it to him with a deep and passionate kiss.

The sex was slow at first – deliberate and unsure, but over time as you made love the Loki you knew and desired took over. You cried in ecstasy under touches of icy yet burning hot, shivering for more reason than one. He enveloped you in all of him; the outcast jotun prince now redeemed and accepted. The two of you moved fervidly under the covers, finding release once again in the night.

The god of mischief and you, the mortal slept soundly that evening, nestled in close embrace. You felt protected, sated, and most of all - loved. Where once you wished you could get far, far away from Loki but could not, now it was nigh impossible to imagine a life where you were not at his side. The irony was not lost on you; fate is funny that way, particularly where it concerns gods and heroes.

Although you weren’t bound anymore by the constraints of the barbaric old magic born of fear, desperation, and loss; you, the human and he, the god of mischief forged a new bond – this one ever-stronger.

A/N: That's the end! Thank you so, so much everyone who has been a reader - either long-term or if you just found this story. This was a passion project of FOUR YEARS! There were bumps in the road: hiatuses taken, writer's block, life stress, but here is Bound, all finished. This is my first and only novel-length story I've written and I'm so happy I pushed through and this WIP is now a fully formed WORK! Thank you all for your patience with updates and your kind words and insights to the story.

I may write an epilogue but until/if then the story will be marked and treated as complete.

Thank you again, and I hoped you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing :)

after dying in space, Tony wakes up - still dying - in Siberia. Bitter, tired, determined and six years younger, he sets out to make some noise.

Be careful what you wish for, you may just get it (152k, Incomplete) by Savana_Marlark

A snap.

A gauntlet.

A dying man's regret.

It is a dangerous thing to wish with infinity stones on your fist.

Sent back to the sands of Afghanistan, Tony Stark has a world to fix, and a Titan to stop, but he won't be doing it alone.

The End of Infinity (909k, Incomplete) by FriendlyNeighborhoodFangirls

In 2023, the battle for the universe has been won. At a cost no one can forget, the fight is over—for all but one.

Stephen Strange has an idea. An impossible idea spanning dimensions and timelines, life and death, and the lines of good and evil. But he's played impossible odds before—perhaps he never stopped.

All that Loki wanted was to fight, one last time, for the fate of his universe. So when he finds himself fighting for another, crashing into the past, he has a few intended words for the wizard that forced him there but not before he finds a boy. Or, more accurately, before the boy finds him.

Peter Parker has been waiting for the next mission. He just doesn't expect it to come from the future, armed with a ridiculous story demanding a ridiculous quest. And he doesn't expect to be able to tell Mr Stark.

Tony Stark is trying to rebuild from the Civil War, knowing that someday, something will come that he needs to be ready for. And he doesn't know it yet, but two universes are trying to rebuild around him, and that something is already here.

Seven Stones. Five dead. Two universes. And one impossible quest to tie it all back together.

Remembers aliens, Titan, Thanos, the stones.

Remembers every atom in his body splitting, and the agony that followed. He Remembers looking up at his mentor's grief-stricken eyes and muttering a small 'I'm sorry' before he was one with the wind.

He was gone. But now he has the chance to take that all back.

Today, Peter Parker can make a difference.

"Ah HA!” Tony exclaimed, throwing his arms up. “So the multiverse is real! Rhodey and I used to argue about that at MIT, but I never thought I’d actually win the bet. Though it might be a little tough to collect on it now. Unless... does this universe have a Rhodey? Does this universe have a me? Can I meet myself?”

“This universe does indeed have a Colonel James Rhodes,” Strange said. “And it also possesses its own version of yourself. But no, you can’t meet him.”

“Why not?” Tony demanded. “Would it implode the universe? Destroy the space-time continuum?”

“None of that. You cannot meet him because this universe’s Tony Stark has been dead for fifteen months.”

The Universe needs the Infinity Stones to survive: Thanos, in his complete ignorance, does not understand this in any of the 14,000,605 futures Doctor Strange sees, does not see this in any of the parallel Universes in which he goes looking for the stones. So, Doctor Strange makes the biggest gamble of his life, and puts all his eggs in one basket. And then hands the basket into the hands that, across time and through space, will always charge themselves with the protection of the Earth.

[pennie-dreadful]

Someone please stop me if this has been done before and link the fic but for your consideration:

Fusion AU of The Sandman and Marvel Loki. They are both emotionally repressed trainwrecks with...complicated relationships with their families, masters of their respective crafts, proud to a fault, quick to take offense, prone to jealousy, and the first time they meet they absolutely despise each other. Throw in Loki's massive inferiority complex, and they have the cattiest rivaly on this side of the Rainbow Bridge.

They are also, unfortunately, hot for each other

They tried dating for like three weeks and it blew up in their faces. They think they're over it but every time they end up at a state function or summit they end up hatefucking in the bathrooms or somewhere else semipublic. They think they're good at hiding it but everyone knows. Everytime they end up in the same place at the same time there are betting pools as to how long before they sneak off together. People try to hang out near them nonchalantly because they can never stop needling each other and their fights are epic and usually end with Loki in tears. It's the best entertainment they have all year.

The whole time Odin has to sit there knowing one of the Endless is fucking his son and there's fuck all he can do about it except pretend he doesn't know. Thor thinks its hilarious and teases Loki about it, Loki retaliates by teleporting him and Dream into Thor's chambers and having sex on his bed. Lucienne thinks Dream is acting below his station and wishes he'd just leave Loki alone, that poor boy is high strung enough as it is and they don't need to antagonize Asgard just because Dream can't keep his mouth shut (in every possible connotation and scenario).

Then Loki dies and Dream is unexpectedly heartbroken. Asgard is being very hush hush about it though, Odin accepts his condolences with a stony face and yeah, Odin is a stone cold prick but nobody else in the royal household can meet his eyes. He asks about the funeral and is shocked it's already taken place, which maybe Loki wasn't the most well loved guy but he was still a prince, he still deserved to be mourned properly. Something is fishy.

Anyway I'm losing steam, Dream does some investigating because Odin keeps stonewalling him, and finally asks Death how Loki died and finds out he's not dead, something something Dream rescues Loki from Thanos and the whole story comes tumbling out, and hoo boy does Dream have a bone to pick with Odin :D :D :D

Loki has a wide regression range and can fall almost anywhere on the spectrum: baby, toddler, kid, or middle, but most often falls at 2-5 or 10-14

Due to the mistreatment/outcasting they faced as a kid that left them somewhat reserved, they often use regression to be bold and loud which Thor heavily encourages!

Of course Thor is their caregiver or at least their favorite! Thor loved looking after Loki as a kid when they were brought home, and now Thor is an adult with more experience and control meaning he can ACTUALLY take care of Loki rather than just "watch them for a moment while Mother fetches something from the other room"

Loki always involves Thor in their schemes! They loved playing pranks as kids and Thor loves to indulge Loki so long as it's nothing dangerous, even though the pranks come at the dismay of others >:)

On the younger end of the spectrum, Loki can entertain themselves for hours with their magic, staring up at the ceiling of stars they made giggling and completely entranced. You could talk about anything right next to them and it would all go over their pretty little head (Thor thinks it's the cutest)

Loki loves playing simple little kids-games, but BE WARNED! They love to add little twists like Tag but there's a dozen Lokis and you have to tag the right one, or Hide and Seek but they shape-shifted into an object/animal! It doesn't matter if it's not exactly fair cause it's more fun this way!

Thor taught them how to play video games which Loki loves big or small. Animal Crossing is an obvious favorite, and they love to play Mario Kart with the Avengers or the Warriors Four

Tony Stark and Peter Parker are Loki's favorite playmates which worries some of the other Avengers since Loki involves them into their schemes as well. A super genius and a spider-boy who's also smart on top of a magic trickster god is chaos! Everything from very intense and panic inducing games of Hide and Seek (which none of the caregivers where aware they were playing and assigned as seekers) to the clever plans of getting sweets when they shouldn't and sometimes the caregivers can't even prove they did it cause the tots always seem to be 10 steps ahead in their plans. There's candy missing from the jar, it had to be them! Yes there are no wrappers ANYWHERE, not even in the trash, and there's no chocolate on their breath or face, but it couldn't have been anyone else!!

Loki developed an obsession after Thor gave them a Squishmallow, no one can convince me that Loki wouldn't have a collection of Squishmallows! Some of the others refuse to take Loki to the store because even when big, all it takes is walking down the wrong aisle and Loki's dragging a new friend to the checkout

Vent regression happens quite often for Loki, sadly. Odin just not always being as present as he was for Thor, the horrible things that happened with Thanos, the social isolation they faced in Asgard, being lied to and discovering they are the very monster hiding under children's beds. . . Thor wishes he could erase it all for them, but bear-hugs, cuddles, tea, baking Mother's bread recipe, and literal hours of time dedicated to loving affirmations seems to make them feel just a little bit better

Changing Fate by melWinter

Can the trickster learn to love? With Thanos rising and the infinity war looming, the universe may come to an end if the nine realms can't reconcile with the prince it once rejected.

King Arthur sets out to keep his promise to the spirit of the Druid boy by repealing his father's ban on magic. Unfortunately, this is easier said than done, for reasons including but not limited to the following: (1) He can't change the law until he understands magic better, but no sorcerer is willing to explain magic to him until he changes the law; (2) The sorcerers all have some strange obsession with Merlin, which is awakening all sorts of feelings in Arthur that he really doesn't fancy examining too closely; (3) He is starting to feel like the butt of some Druid-population-wide inside joke involving the mysterious phenomenon called Emrys; and (4) Oh yeah, Morgana is still trying to kill him. Thus he embarks on a journey of discovery, diplomacy, accountability, and self-improvement, and maybe even falls in love along the way.

[yuliya-dosky]

An Ironstrange AU with Hunger Games thematic

Tony could be from District 2 where the weapons are manufactured and it's one of the wealthiest districts of Panem or he could be from District 3 which main industry is technology but they're poorer.

Howard (Tony's father) was one of the victors of the Hunger Games in his youth so Tony had an easy and comfortable life, but his father wants him to be chosen as a tribute and win the hunger games, so he's trained as a career tribute.

Stephen is from District 9 which main industry is grain production (he's a country boy so it makes sense although I can see him in district 12 too) and his sister, Donna, died in the last Hunger games.

Now, there are two options of how did Tony ended up as a tribute: he could be chosen by luck or he could have volunteered to take Peter's place bc Tony see him as a little brother (Tony is 18 and Peter is 12) but if he's chosen by luck then Peter could be from District 5 (electricity) or 9 (textiles), so they'll met at the arena.

For Stephen it was just his Strange luck, he's almost 16 (his birthday will be when his already in the arena) and the wound of Donna's death is still fresh and maybe just to be extra angsty his little brother Vincent was also chosen as a tribute on his first reaping day so yeah, too much trauma.

The girl tribute from Stephen's district could be Christine but I think it'll be more interesting if it's Clea meanwhile with Tony I'm not pretty sure, maybe Pepper )? or Natasha but I see her more as District 1's tribute or maybe 4, not to sure about that. Maybe Carol

The Ancient One as Stephen's and Clea (or Christine) mentor, it would probably be interesting how did the Ancient One win her hunger games. In the other hand, Howard as Tony's mentor doesn't sounds that great for me but idk anyone who could fit in.

The Grandmaster as Caesar Flickerman obviously.

President Snow... That's kind of tricky, it could be Thanos or maybe Kang )? I also considered Nick Fury but not sure if he fits...

For the other tributes I'll love to see Thor and Loki participating as brothers, they're from District 4 (probably) which is one of the wealthiest districts buuuuuuuut there's no chance they could participate on the same year cuz they're both males unless plot with a good excuse.

Natasha and Steve as District 1's career tributes, Rhodey and Monica as District 11's tributes.

Now, in the games Stephen and Clea work together and the audience of the capitol cheer on them since they've been displayed as the couple with a tragic love story (yes, they were dating before they were chosen) but everything change when Stephen keeps clashing with Tony and they start feeling things for each other, so Stephen ruins the plan he made with The Ancient One and Clea and runs off with Tony making an alliance.

There's a lot more of ideas I could come up with like Stephen killed Tony's partner and that started everything, but this are the main ones. I just know that this AU would be filled with a lot of angst but it'd be really interesting :)
