Thor Odinson in THOR: RAGNAROK (2017)
Look, I've spent years in a haze trying to forget my past. Sakaar seemed like the best place to drink and forget and to die one day. Well, I was thinking that you drink too much and that probably was gonna kill you. I don't plan to stop drinking. Oh. But I don't want to forget. I can't turn away anymore. So, if I'm gonna die, well it may as well be driving my sword through the heart of that murderous hag. Good. Yeah. So I'm saying that I wanna be on the team. Has it got a name? Yeah, it's called the... Revengers. Revengers? Because I'm getting revenge. You're getting revenge. And you're- Do- You- Do you wa- What do you- You want revenge? I'm, um, I'm un-undecided. Okay.

Sunshine on Sakaar - Prologue
AN: Hello, dear readers! So when I was writing The Twin Flames, I started thinking about how Sunshine would react during the Avengers Civil War. A big part of her character is conflict avoidance and being a big people pleaser, so my first thought is that she would have tried not to pick a side until she was forced to do so. The other thought I had was what if she was never involved? How would she not be involved? What if she ended up on Saakar with Bruce? I decided that the idea didn't make as much sense as her being on earth and honestly, I think the Civil War scenes really add to her character progression, but I wrote them anyway because I thought it was funny and people are always asking for more Sunshine and Loki, so here it is! I ask that you don't take this too seriously, it's not really going to be a series, just mostly some scenes and drabbles, but I hope you enjoy!

"Hey, guys," Sam calls, stumbling through the rubble of what was left of Sokovia. "Where is she?"
The realization dawns on Steve suddenly. He left you on the Quinjet. You were still on the Quinjet. The Quinjet that Hulk just took off in. "Nat, when you say Bruce took off..."
Nat claps a hand over her mouth, "Oh my God."
"Guys," Sam calls again, this time with more urgency. "Where is she?"
Steve turns to Sam with a morose expression. "I'm so sorry, Sam."
Sam's chest heaves with panic, jumping to the worst conclusions, "No, no, she's fine. She was hurt, but you said you were-"
"I did," Steve immediately replies, "I didn’t mean that she’s- she’s alive.”
“But?”
“But I put her on the jet, Sam," Steve explains, his voice hollow yet thick with guilt. "To - to keep her safe while she was passed out. I left her on the jet."
"You left her alone?" Sam bitterly accuses.
"The team, they needed me. I thought she'd be safe there, out of harm's way."
"Where's the jet now, Steve?" Sam demands.
"Bruce - Hulk, actually, is with her. He's flying the jet."
Sam helplessly clutches his damaged wing, unable to take off and look for the jet. "The Hulk is flying the Quinjet right now? Are you kidding me?"
"Nat's tapping into their comms right now. Who knows Pinkie Pie might be up and piloting her way back here as we speak!" Tony offers in an attempt to console him. 
"Because we're just always that lucky," Sam sarcastically retorts. He shakes his head, doing his best to remain confident and optimistic for your return, "It's okay, it's alright. You know, we just need to find the jet. We can find them and all this will be over."
"I'm in," Nat announces.
"So where are they?"
"He's flying in stealth mode."
Sam angrily groans, "Of course he is."
"Hey, big guy. You did it. Job's finished. Now, I need you to turn this bird around, okay? We can't track you in stealth mode."
Natasha hears a loud clang of Hulk's heavy fist against the console. She flinches at the sound. "I know you're hurt but your friend is back there and she needs you right now. Please."
Another loud smash of Hulk's fist causes the screen to flicker in and out.
Sam takes over, grabbing Nat's wrist and shouting into the little hologram screen, "Bruce, I swear to God, you bring her back. You hear me, you bring your ass back here right now!"
The screen flickers for an even longer moment, Nat turns to Sam with a remorseful look, "Sam, we’re about to lose all communication."
Sam turns to Tony with a pleading, frantic expression, "Tony, there's gotta be something we can do. Pull them out of stealth mode! Go after them! Do something!"
"I'm trying!" Tony frustratedly exclaims. "If I could do that it wouldn't be much of a stealth mode would it?"
"Tony...."
"Romanov, buy me some more time, keep him talking," Tony orders.
"Come on, big guy, pl-" Nat's words are abruptly cut off with a blank screen.
Sam's eyes flash over to Natasha, "What just happened? Nat, what just happened?"
"He just shut us off."
"Now what?"
"They could be anywhere."

Portal to My Heart (Book 1.5) Chapter Fourteen
Loki x Reader
Chapter Fourteen: In the Streets
Summary: (Y/N) and Thor get some allies, and a plan comes together.
            “The sun’s going down. It’s getting really low.” Thor kept repeating the phrase to Bruce as he ushered him through the Sakaar streets. “The sun’s getting low.”
            “Thor, it’s bad enough that we’re lost. Stop saying that or I make a portal right to the Grandmaster and push you through,” said (Y/N) sharply.
            “We need him to stay calm,” said Thor.
            “Calm? I’m on an alien planet,” said Bruce.
            “You get used to it,” said (Y/N), shrugging.
            “I’ve only been on one,” said Bruce urgently.
            “I’ve been on three,” said (Y/N).
            “It’s a new experience,” said Thor in encouragement.
            Bruce groaned. “My neurons, they’re firing faster than my brain can handle the information. The whole thing is totally different this time. In the past, I always felt like Hulk and I each had a hand on the wheel. But this time, it’s like he had the keys to the car, and I was locked in the trunk…”
            “You’re back now. That’s all that matters,” said Thor.
            “No, that’s not what matters!” exclaimed Bruce. “What I’m trying to tell you is that if I turn into the Hulk again, Banner may never come back.”
            “That sucks,” said (Y/N), not sarcastic for once. It would be terrible to never have control of your own body again. (Y/N) was all about freedom.
            “And we’re stranded on a planet that is designed to stress me out!” continued Bruce, spiraling.
            “I’m gonna figure out a way to get us home,” said Thor.
            “Thank you,” said Bruce in relief.
            “Not your home, though. Asgard. My home,” said Thor.
            “What?” said Bruce.
            (Y/N) shrugged. She had lived there for years. It was pretty much her home, too, so she was with Thor.
            “Listen, my people are in great danger,” said Thor. “You, (Y/N), and I have to fight this really powerful being…who also happens to be my sister.”
            Bruce made a face. “Okay, that is so wrong on so many—I don’t want to fight your sister. That’s a family issue.”
            “She’s terrible, though, don’t feel bad,” said (Y/N) encouragingly.
            “I don’t care what she is,” said Bruce. “I’m not fighting anymore beings. I’m sick of it.”
            “What?” said Thor.
            “I just told you. If I turn into the Hulk, I am never gonna come back again,” said Bruce.
            “Fair concern,” admitted (Y/N).
            “Yeah, and he doesn’t care,” said Bruce.
            “No, no. I’m putting together a team,” said Thor. “The Hulk is the fire.”
            “Wait, you’re just using me to get to the Hulk,” said Bruce dejectedly.
            “What? No,” denied Thor in a horrible attempt of a lie.
            “It’s gross,” said Bruce. “You don’t care about me. You’re not my friend.”
            (Y/N) groaned in annoyance. She didn’t have time for couples’ therapy. She needed a way off this planet.
            “No, I don’t even care about the Hulk,” said Thor, lying through his teeth. “He’s all like ‘Smash, smash, smash!’ I prefer you.”
            “…Thanks,” said Bruce.
            “…But if I’m being honest, when it comes to fighting evil beings, he is very powerful and useful,” said Thor.
            Great tact, thought (Y/N), rolling her eyes.
            “Yeah, Banner’s powerful and useful, too,” said Bruce sullenly.
            “Is he thought?” asked Thor.
            “How many PhDs does Hulk have? Zero. How many PhDs does Banner have? Seven,” said Bruce.
            “Fine, you don’t have to fight anyone,” sighed Thor. “But we’re in danger here, so we have to move.”
            “Finally,” said (Y/N).
            Thor grabbed a random cloth he found and wrapped it around his head.
            “What’re you doing?” sighed (Y/N).
            “I need a disguise. I’m a fugitive,” said Thor. “You should disguise yourself, too.”
            “None of these people really know my face. They’re mostly looking for you and the big guy,” said (Y/N), shrugging.
            “I’ll be Tony Stark!” said Bruce, putting on the glasses he found in his pocket.
            “What?” said Thor.
            “Yeah. Tony and the Gypsy,” said Bruce.
            “No, no, you’re not Tony. You’re Bruce. Bruce Banner,” said Thor.
            “Then why’d you dress me up like Tony?” asked Bruce.
            “You were naked, buddy,” said (Y/N).
            “…Okay, I’ll give you that,” said Bruce.
            “Why are you being so weird?” asked Thor as Bruce fidgeted.
            Bruce glared at him. “I don’t know. Maybe the fact that I was trapped for two years inside of a monster made me a little weird!” One of his veins throbbed green, and his voice deepened.
            (Y/N) and Thor backed off.
            “Okay, okay, let’s just take a deep breath and get going,” said (Y/N) quickly, and Thor nodded, patting Bruce gently.
            “Listen, we’re gonna get to Asgard, and you’re never gonna have to think of the Hulk ever again,” said Thor.
            They stepped into the street, and Bruce was promptly hit in the face by green powder as the people celebrated their champion to draw him out. Masks and costumes lined the parade. Every sight Bruce’s eyes landed on showed Hulk. He was even swept up in the crowd.
            “Dammit,” muttered (Y/N), wading into the people with Thor to find him.
            “Banner! Banner?” called Thor as he pushed through and (Y/N) followed.
            They grabbed the scientist before he was hit by a humanoid he bumped into. This was one fiasco after another. (Y/N)’s hands curled into fists in preparation of a fight, nut a disk in the humanoid’s neck buzzed, and they keeled over.
            Valkyrie was revealed behind them, hands on her hips.
            “Hi,” said Thor awkwardly.
            “Thanks,” said (Y/N).
            “Hi,” said Valkyrie. She glanced at (Y/N). “I don’t think this was your plan.”
            “Hulk broke our ship,” huffed (Y/N).
            “What are you doing here?” asked Thor.
            Valkyrie ignored him and rolled her eyes. “Come on.” She turned and walked away from the crowd.
            (Y/N) wasn’t going to argue with her. She didn’t seem like she was going to take them in. She wasn’t the type to go for trickery. She’d probably just kick their asses if she needed to. Valkyrie led them into a building as Bruce stared at wonder.
            “Who is she? What are those lines around her eyes? Are those people she’s killed? She’s so beautiful and strong and courageous,” rambled Bruce. (Y/N) nodded in emphatic agreement at the final statement.
            “Who is this guy?” asked Valkyrie.
            “I’m Bruce.”
            “I feel like I know you,” she said.
            “I feel like I know you too,” said Bruce.
            Valkyrie took the three to her apartment door and turned around to face them before opening it. “Look.” Her voice was more serious than (Y/N) had ever heard. “I’ve spent years in a haze, trying to forget my past. Sakaar seemed like the best place to drink and forget, and to die one day.”
            “I was thinking that you drink too much, and that probably was going to kill you,” admitted Thor.
            “I don’t plan to stop drinking,” said Valkyrie.
            “We should go out for drinks sometime,” said (Y/N).
            “Yeah, sure. I can get you drunk and get all the details about your princely boyfriend to blackmail him,” said Valkyrie.
            “…Everyone knows everything he’s done,” said (Y/N). Then, almost an afterthought, she added, “And he’s not my boyfriend.”
            Thor cleared his throat. “Maybe save the drinking and forgetting for another time.”
            “Actually, I don’t want to forget,” said Valkyrie. She cleared her throat. “I can’t turn away anymore…so if I’m gonna die, well, it may as well be driving my sword through the heart of that murderous hag.”
            “Good,” said Thor.
            “Yeah,” said Bruce.
            “Love it,” said (Y/N).
            “So, I’m saying that I wanna be on the team,” said Valkyrie. “Has it got a name?”
            “Yeah, it’s called the…Revengers,” said Thor, making it up on the spot.
            “Revengers?” Valkyrie was unimpressed.
            “That’s a stupid name,” said (Y/N).
            “It’s because I’m getting revenge. You’re getting revenge…” He looked at Bruce and (Y/N). “Do you want revenge?”
            “Sure,” said (Y/N) with a shrug.
            “I’m undecided,” said Bruce.
            “Okay,” said Thor proudly.
            “Also, I’ve got a peace offering,” said Valkyrie. She opened her apartment door, and it slid up.
            Loki was chained to a seat in the middle of the room. “Surprise~,” he said monotonously.
            (Y/N) grinned and couldn’t help a chuckle as she and the rest walked in. For one, it was entertaining to see him so sullen in his binds. For another, laughing distracted her from how attractive he looked tied up.( Hey, (Y/N) was up for any role, and she suspected Loki would be, too, so the thoughts were bound to come).
           Thor threw a bottle at him, and it bounced off him.
            “Ow,” said Loki, deadpan.
            “Just had to be sure…” said Thor.
            Loki smirked when Bruce sidled in nervously. “Hello, Bruce.”
            “So, last time I saw you, you were trying to kill everybody,” said Bruce hesitantly. “Where are you these days?”
            “It varies from moment to moment,” said Loki, successfully scaring Bruce.
            (Y/N) patted his shoulder. “Relax.” She gave Loki a look. “He’ll be on his best behavior here, won’t he?” Loki shrugged in his chains. (Y/N) rolled her eyes. “He knows he has to be or he’s not getting out of those chains.”
            “You’d abandon me? How unkind, my dear advisor,” said Loki.
            “Don’t try to flatter me,” said (Y/N) with a smirk. “You know your silver tongue doesn’t work on me.”
            “Are we sure?” said Loki with a smirk.
            Bruce stared in bewilderment as the woman who had been kidnapped by Loki confidently flirted with him and he flirted back. It was extremely disconcerting.
            “Is that a Dragonfang?” said Thor excitedly, picking up a weapon on a nightstand.
            “It is,” said Valkyrie.
            “This is the famed sword of the Valkyrie,” said Thor, holding it reverently.
            Valkyrie smirked in amusement and got to business. “Sakaar and Asgard are about as far apart as any two known systems.” She walked by Loki, and he had the puppy-eyes on and gazed towards her and then (Y/N) in hopes someone would let him out. No one went to him. “Our best bet is the wormhole just outside the city limits. Refuel on Xandar, and we can be back on Asgard in…eighteen months.”
            “Nope. We are going through the big one.” Thor gestured to the wormhole that shone brightly in the sky, wide and formidable.
            “The Devil’s Anus?” said Valkyrie incredulously.
            “I bet the Grandmaster came up with that,” remarked (Y/N).
            “Anus? Wait, wait, wait. Whose Anus?” said Bruce.
            “For the record, I didn’t know it was called that when I picked it,” said Thor.
            “That looks like a collapsing neutron star inside of an Einstein-Rosen Bridge,” said Bruce in amazement.
            “We need another ship,” said Valkyrie, picking up a bottle of alcohol. “That would tear mine to pieces.” She took a swig.
            “She’s right. We need one that can withstand the geodetic strain from the singularity,” said Thor.
            Jane definitely taught him that, thought (Y/N).
            “And has an offline power steering system that could also function without an onboard computer,” said Bruce.
            “And we need one with cupholders because we’re gonna die,” said Valkyrie cheerfully. “So, drinks!”
            “Do I know you? I feel like I know you,” said Bruce.
            “I feel like I know you, too. It’s weird,” said Valkyrie.
            “What do you say?” said Thor. “Uncharted metagalactic travel through a volatile cosmic gateway. Talk about an adventure.”
            “We need a ship,” said Bruce, onboard with the idea.
            “There are one or two ships,” said Valkyrie. “Absolute top of the line models—”
            “I don’t mean to impose,” interrupted Loki.
            Valkyrie threw her empty bottle at the wall next to his head, and it shattered. Loki spoke again slowly.
            “The Grandmaster has a great many ships,” said Loki.
            (Y/N) snapped her fingers. “Oh, yeah, and we got into the system. If we can get into the hangar, I can get us a ship.”
            “Yes, and I can get us to the hangar,” said Loki. “I may have taken the security access codes to the building.”
            “And suddenly you’re overcome with an urge to do the right thing?” Valkyrie didn’t believe it.
            “Heavens, no,” said Loki with a smirk. But I need a way to get out of these binds to look after (Y/N). “I’ve run out of favor with the Grandmaster, and in exchange for getting you to the ship, I am asking for safe passage through the Anus.”
            “You’re telling us you can get us access into the garage without setting off the alarms so (Y/N) get the right ship?” said Thor suspiciously.
            “Yes, Brother. I can,” said Loki.
            “Okay, can I just—” Bruce pulled the group closer to speak quietly. “A quick FYI. I was talking to him just a couple minutes ago, and he was totally ready to kill any of us.”
            “He did try to kill me,” said Valkyrie.
            “Me, too, in 2012,” said (Y/N) with a shrug.
            “Yes, me too. On many, many occasions,” said Thor. “There was one time, when we were children, he transformed himself into a snake, and he knows that I love snakes. So, I went to pick up the snake to admire it, and he transformed back into himself, and he was like, ‘Bah! It’s me!’ And he stabbed me. We were eight at the time.”
            Valkyrie looked slightly concerned and confused, Bruce was disturb, and (Y/N) appeared unsurprised. Loki smirked in entertainment, clearly still proud of the trick.
            “Well, to be fair, he might not try to kill his girlfriend here,” said Valkyrie. “So we might be in the clear.”
            “He’s not my boyfriend,” said (Y/N).
            “You’re dating Loki?” asked Bruce in horror.
            “I’m not,” said (Y/N).
            “Still, we do need him,” said Valkyrie. “And if we’re boosting a ship, we’re gonna need to draw some guards away from the palace.”
            “Why not set the beast loose?” remarked Loki.
            “Shut up,” said Thor.
            “You have a beast?” Valkyrie grinned.
            “No, there’s no beast. He’s just being stupid,” said Thor. “No, we’re going to start a revolution.”
            “Revolution?” said Bruce in confusion.
            “I’ll explain later,” said Thor.
            “I love revolting against tyrants!” said (Y/N) excitedly.
            “Who is that guy again?” said Valkyrie.
            “I’ll explain later,” said Thor.

A note about Loki and Thor
After years of reading fanfiction where Loki is portrayed as a psychopath and a cunning scoundrel (for some reason this is the majority of fanfiction in my bubble?), I accidentally decided that this trope was canon. But damn, how wrong I was. Hiddleston's Loki is a very sensitive, vulnerable character who needs support and love.
Unfortunately, his mother's recognition and love are not enough. The boy needs recognition from the male part of the family. He always felt abandoned. I would like to read more fanfics where Loki is a sensitive character.
(His vulnerability is so desperately visible. The 2012 version of Loki is brutal, but we don't know what crap and heartache the character went through.)
Loki's in the series.
Disney's Loki reveals even more of the character's sensitive side. We see his pain as he looks at his life story, we see his sincere friendship with Mobius (honestly, it's amazing)
And we see how he wants to keep Sylvie safe, which could also be a hint that he is finally ready to support himself ( literally damn he supports himself) and we see his sacrifice for the sake of all loved ones and strangers.
This is what Loki would have ended up with if he had not died in Thor 3. One way or another, this version of Loki would have become the god of stories (whatever that means).
Thor
And I would also like to see a more interesting Thor, who often thanks his brother, consults, and treats him with respect.
Thoughts on Thor. We know that Thor cares about Loki, but I got the feeling that for a very long time, before Thor 1, he treated Loki like a child who doesn’t understand anything (while Thor is a teenager) and this prevents Thor from accepting him as an equal and allowing him to show Thor's mistakes.
After the 1 chapter, Thor finally matures through grief over the loss of his brother.
I really don't see much of a role for Jane Foster in his changes. I think initially he treated her as one of his hobbies, respected her intelligence, but still... I think she was more fascinated than he was.
(After all, in The Avengers he 100% had the opportunity to drop by for tea, which he didn’t take.) I think the fact that he had a lot going on and the loss of his brother played a role in his attachment to Foster.
In The Avengers and Thor 2 we see that Thor does not know how to communicate with Loki, his brother grew up the same way as him, there is awkwardness around.
Later on Sakaar we see Thor let his brother go. I imagine that he doesn’t want to witness another fake death, doesn’t want to relive it again. He is calmer knowing that Loki is somewhere, he is alive and doing his insidious deeds.
In the third part there is a feeling that they are finding a connection and an understanding of how to communicate, although this is not the end yet. Loki returned to Thor precisely when Thor let him go, allowing his brother and himself to “be themselves,” took up the affairs of his people, and took responsibility.
At this point, their growing up against the backdrop of a showdown can be considered almost complete.
I think in the end they would manage to become a good team. But it would take them a long time to learn to fully accept each other’s shortcomings. And I think one day Thor would say that he got too excited by blaming Loki for his father's death.
Oh I don't know, I just want a fanfic written by a psychologist XD

What If....? season 2, episode 4. Due to the holidays kicking my butt to exhaustion, this is gonna be one post. *SPOILERS*
So, Tony really did end up in Sakaar after he went through the wormhole in the Avengers movie. I'm surprised the Grandmaster became a fan of him when it's been days. I guess it's because it was one human who took down the Chitauri.
Instead of gladiator fights, it's racing. The whole race scenes were cool, and it reminded me of a mix of Speed Racer and Mad Max in space dialed up a few notches.
Was not expecting a dynamic with Tony and Korg, but it works. Plus, them teaming up with Valkyrie was cool too. Speaking of which, I'm glad she's not capturing people to give to the Grandmaster in this universe. They still have her be king of Sakaar, which I guess it makes sense cause she unintentionally melted the Grandmaster and Tony needs to get back home. These three work great as a team and I'm glad they got along in this episode.
Another thing I appreciate about this episode, is that it didn't do Tony dirty. He wasn't humiliated or disrespected, he showed what he was capable of and he was really cool. I mean a big Iron Man suit that can turn into a car and can be boosted with his arc reactor? That's pretty sick. Plus, he stands up against Gamora while convincing her to be her own person, and when he's being framed as being a bad guy, he proves it wrong to the Grandmaster and beats him. This version of Tony Stark is awesome.
And, after all that, Tony still helps Gamora take down Thanos, which I was surprised it was that easy. Just catch him off guard and hit him with the melting stick. The look on his face, though. Like he was like "seriously?" 😆
Speaking of Thanos, this guy's getting killed a lot. Twice in Endgame, killed in the Illuminati universe in Multiverse of Madness, wiped out in Strange Supreme's universe, turned into a zombie, sliced in half by Ultron-Vision, killed by Ronan offscreen, and now melting stick. This guy has now died more times than Tony (6 deaths) and Vision (5 deaths)!
However, this was supposed to show how this Gamora came to be and is the same Gamora that was chosen by Uatu to be the Guardians of the Multiverse. And, she was fine in this, I haven't seen much of why she was picked in the first place. Yeah, she killed Thanos, but Tony accomplished so much in that universe and was the one who helped her even when she was trying to kill him. He was the main character, she was a supporting character, maybe even a side supporting character. So why wasn't he picked by Uatu instead?! He would've been a great help to the team too. That's just the one thing that's been bugging me about this episode. Aside from that, it was good to me.
So, tomorrow will be the continuation of Captain Carter universe. Why? Well, season one finale left a cliffhanger ending of her and Natasha finding the Hydra Stomper which is setting up that universe's version of The Winter Soldier. So, we kinda gotta follow up on that. That and the MCU loves to show more of Captain Carter, cause I heard that she's gonna be more of a main character in this series like last time. I could be wrong though.

MEET MY GIRLFRIEND
Summary: Reader is the girlfriend of Daisy and sister of Thor and introduces the Revengers + Korg to her.
You can find the request here.
Tumblr media
You met Daisy for the first time when you helped lady Sif to collect Lorelei, only her name wasn't Daisy then, it was Skye. The way she maked you laugh by just making bad jokes was the first thing that attracted you to Skye. You didn't even know half the things Skye said, but it was fine for you.
When your brother Thor went to Midgard to spend time with the avengers you came along with him. Hoping to see the enchanting brunette again and just to hang out with her.
Skye, was different when you saw her. She wasn't named Skye anymore but Daisy Johnson and with that came her quake powers from the terregenis. But that got your attention more.
You gave Thor an excuse to not go back with him to Asgard and decided to help Daisy with excelling her powers. Never noticing that there were feelings growing between the two of you.
So, when Thor heard that Loki was playing as Odin on Asgard, he decided to go to you. He said he wanted to find father and you went with him, leaving Daisy behind.
Odin told you about Hela, your big sister you never knew and that she would be free after his death.
You and Thor got stranded on a planet called Sakaar and you met your new best friend Valkyrie. You and her were team against Thor and you maked a fool out of him.
After the events on Sakaar you decided to go back to Earth and to a certain brunette. Because while you were away your thoughts were always on the one you left behind on Midgard.
Daisy decided to take you out on a drink after you returned, and she asked to be your girlfriend. Of course you said yes. You thought it was amazing to call Daisy yours.
While you loved Daisy and her friends you never let her meet your friends and brother. Not knowing if she would like them or if they would like your girlfriend.
But then the snap happened. Daisy went to ashes in the middle of your anniversary date. And you were lost.
Asgard was no more for a while but the Asgardians were now living on Earth and you decided to search for your best friend, hoping that she didn't go to ashes.
Five years after you heard that the avengers saved the world once again and you went immediately to the place you were with Daisy then. Knowing you needed to see her.
After a long five years you didn't know what you would do if your friends and brother didn't know about your girlfriend. Valkyrie heard stories about Daisy, because you were many times sad and maybe you cried a lot. But she knew and was happy to meet her finally after all those years.
'Daisy, I want you to meet my friends', you said when you saw her again. First you explained what had happened.
'Really?', Daisy asked. And you answered that after those five years you couldn't live with her dying and not meeting your family.
Valkyrie was the easiest, she loved to hear the stories you told her, and she was just serious and not almost killing your girlfriend for dating you.
Thor was the whole time teasing Daisy after he heard about how she was a fangirl for him. But he swore to kill her if she ever hurt you, and you loved Thor that he would protect you always.
Loki never showed up the day you wanted him to meet Daisy, but it was fine, because he still met her a month later. And when Daisy wasn't with you, he would transfigure into her to tease you.
Korg wanted to give Daisy just a hug after meeting her and showed her Miek and told her happily about Miek.
'Darling', Daisy began after she met all your friends, 'your friends are amazing'.
And you just smiled and hugged Daisy.

A/N: this was fun to write 
18+ content below the cut , Minor do not interact or you will be blocked <3
Happy reading Besties
Meeting Valkyrie when she was on Sakaar
She vowed never to fall in love with anyone else after Hela had wiped out her sisterhood and lover.
was hesitant at first to talk to you but got comfortable when she realized Hulk liked you as well 
 Hulk seemed like a good judge of character and he was right as you got close
You were with her as a friend, supporting her on sakaar as a scrapper, joining her on the revengers team to being there when Thor assigns her as the leader of New Asgard. 
Everyone assumed that you have been dating all this time due to how close you quickly got
She asks you out after 1 year of being friends
A good 2 years after she became the king of New Asgard, she decides to ask for your hand in marriage
Took her awhile to see that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with you because she was scared of heartbreak but you gave her the time nonetheless
The wedding is very special day and not the typical wedding you’d think of 
Exchanging swords with each other during the ceremony
Being the queen of New Asgard 
Everyone always jokes about you being the��“ perfect housewife “ to the king since you didn’t mind doing all the typical things
You didn’t have to but you loved to do it 
Leads to some very 👀👀👀 things happening between the two of you.
Letting your wife use you for stress relief from her hard days as the king
“ My king deserves to get some stress out and i’m here to help with that of course” 
her being rough is so yummy <3 
You provide a big sense of relief as the town turns from a small village to a big tourist destination in the span of a year.
Going to her office to have a cute lunch date but you end up giving her head under the desk
Literally one of her advisors comes in to talk about the ragnarok play and is blushing like crazy at what the fuck is going on
Cockwarming her at your shared home everywhere and i mean it when i say EVERYWHERE
“ Love seeing my queen all stretched out on my cock”
Pet Names all of the time
Most of the time she’ll call you darling, honey or something along that line
Her casually fucking you during her meetings
It was shocking at first for her advisors but they got used to it
It got more interesting when Jane arrived at New Asgard and was appointed one of the advisers
Valkyrie in a conversation over building a science museum with Jane but it gets too boring for her so she calls you over so she can use your pussy
“ Your majesty what are you doing ?”
“ using my pet while we talk about the science building ? What else am I doing Jane ?”
SHE OFFERS YOU TO JANE AFTER WHEN SHE SEES HER FRIEND STRESSED OUT
“ Jane, my wonderful queen here would love to help you unwind “
Helping out your wife with any town problems too not just sex stuff all the time
You both shop for her suits in town 😩😩😩
Sparring together before she has to go do king stuff 
Weekends with your wife consist of just binging either trashy tv shows or going to watch the plays in town 
which you laugh at a lot of the time because the actors the production and Val even laughs about it every once in a while
Valkyrie leaving you in charge of the town every once in a while if she has to help both Thors with some business. 
Cute texts when she’s away 
Both of you ganging up on Jane to tease her which ends up with the three you fucking 
Date nights are a weekly thing with each of you alternating each week who plans it 
The cutest couple ever in town 
If valkyrie was told about her future she would have believed it but now that she has a happy life and a happy wife, it’s something she’d never want taken away

Consequences
Word count: 6,250
Pairing: Loki x reader (no pronouns used) - established relationship
Warnings: Ruthless Loki, though still fluffy (and a little mushy); mild swearing
This took me forever and a day but at last, here it is! I struggled hard with writers block on this... I feel like it's not my best work, but I hope you like it just the same 💚
This combined two prompts: one Prompt where reader pranks boyfriend Loki and faces the consequences, and another prompt where reader becomes invisible and pranks the team. I hope I was able to cover both prompts adequately!
Tumblr media
"Yikes. This place is a total mess."
You gazed out the window of the ship, taking in the cluttered landscape of Sakaar's vast junkyard. Littered with broken fragments of spaceships and other various metals, it was easy to see how someone could spend hours sifting through the trash for something valuable.
"How the hell are we going to find what we're looking for here?" you asked incredulously, turning to your travel companions.
"We'll need to split up," Thor declared, rising to his feet as Bruce landed the ship in a mostly empty patch of land. "If Banner's calculations are correct, the crown should have landed within this 400-foot radius."
"Well that narrows it down..." Loki muttered under his breath as he, too, stood from his seat. He turned to face you, holding his hand out. "My lady."
"Thank you, my prince," you giggled, taking his outstretched hand and allowing him to help you to your feet. Bruce made a fake retching sound as he stepped out of the cockpit.
"Can't you two get a room or something?"
Smirking, Loki turned to look at you, sliding his arm around your waist. "Hmm... darling, do you see a room here that might be suitable?"
"Nope. Not a single one in sight." You leaned in and pressed a kiss to his lips, earning a groan from the other two men.
"Alright, I'm searching the patch furthest from the two of you," Bruce grumbled, brushing past the three of you and heading down the ramp of the ship. Thor followed close behind. With a chuckle, Loki unwound his arm from your waist and motioned for you to head down the ramp in front of him.
You and Loki had been together since shortly after you'd joined the Avengers team. It wasn't clear what drew him to you, but it was painfully obvious he'd developed a crush on you fairly early on. Fortunately for him, his feelings were reciprocated.
And now, years later, the pair of you were one of the strongest duos to work together in the field. Neither had to speak to know what the other needed. You just... knew. It was instinct. He had something of a sixth sense that told him when you were in trouble, and you just had a gut feeling when he was considering doing something reckless. You were the perfect match for one another, both on and off the field.
"I can't believe you lived here," you marveled as you stepped over half a ship engine, nearly stumbling over the hunk of unidentifiable metal hidden behind it. "This place is..."
"In all fairness, I landed in the city," Loki interjected. "While not exactly on par with the royal Palace of Valaskjalf, it did have its perks."
Together, you and Loki searched through the piles of junk and clutter for any sign of the black opal-bejeweled crown. The task began to seem more and more impossible the further out from the ship you wandered. Stacks upon stacks of useless machinery cluttered your view, potentially burying the artifact you were searching for, making it difficult to navigate through the heaps of junk.
"Remind me why we need to find this thing so badly?" you huffed, tossing aside a metal slab that appeared to have once been the door of a vintage car.
"Would you prefer to leave the crown that could control the minds of millions to be scooped up by the nearest villain?"
"You know what? If they find it in this trash palace, good for them." You sighed, wiping the sweat off your brow and pausing for a moment. "We should probably split up to cover more ground. Otherwise we'll be here forever."
Loki's face contorted into an anxious grimace as he glanced around for nearby threats. "You know I hate leaving you alone."
"And you know very well that I can handle myself." You stepped closer and laced your fingers through his, pressing a chaste kiss to his cheek. "I promise I'll be fine."
Reluctantly, he agreed to your proposition. You could feel his eyes boring into your back as you walked in the opposite direction to search a nearby pile, kneeling down and beginning to sift through the shards of metal and plastic.
After hours of searching, you were beginning to reconsider offering to join this mission. Your eyes were starting to sting from the high noon sun reflecting off the assortment of metal panels. Sweat dripped down your forehead onto your nose. If one of you didn't find this damned crown soon, you were going to-
"Wait. What's that?" you whispered to yourself as your eyes landed on something sparkly amidst a nearby pile. Shifting a couple of metal slabs, you were able to pull out the shiny object. Much to your relief, it was the exact artifact you'd been searching for. "Found it!!"
"You found the crown?" Thor's voice echoed from afar.
"Yeah! I- hey!"
The crown was suddenly snatched out of your hand. Whipping around, you caught the glint of sunlight bouncing off the gold metal as it vanished into the rucksack of a short, masked being standing behind you. It wore tattered black robes with a hood shrouding its head, and you quickly noticed it was armed with a small pistol in its belt.
"Give me that!" you growled, charging at the scrapper as you ripped your dagger out of its sheath at your hip. It shouted something in a foreign tongue, snatching its gun off its holster and aiming it toward you. You dove swiftly to the side as a laser blast exploded from the barrel of the gun, swinging your leg out to kick the legs from beneath the scrapper. Scrambling to your hands and knees, you lunged for the rucksack, fingers grazing the handles just as the bag was swiped from your reach by its owner. With a grunt of frustration, you wielded your dagger, preparing to drive it into the scrapper's leg.
A sudden green blast of light slammed into its chest, sending it sailing a few dozen feet into a junk pile. Scraps of metal tumbled down from the impact, burying the scrapper from view.
"I could have handled that myself, you know," you scoffed without glancing up at your savior, snatching up the rucksack where the scrapper had dropped it upon being struck with Loki's blast of seidr.
"Oh, I'm well aware. But it was just so satisfying," he quipped, smirking.
"Is everyone alright?" Bruce called, bounding over to the pair of you after having heard the crashing metal. Thor wasn't far behind, a concerned look on his face. You held up the rucksack, reaching in with your free hand and pulling out the crown for the others to see.
"All good! Let's get the hell off this planet."
As the four of you trapsed back to the ship, Thor engaged Loki in conversation, leaving you to bring up the rear of the group. Curiously, you reached into the rucksack and dug around to see if there was anything else of interest. A few small ship components... a battery of some sort...
Your fingers collided with the cool metal of a small object. Curiously, you scooped it up in your fist and pulled it out into the light to inspect it. The object appeared to be an amulet of some sort, endorsed with a single gem. The stone was a gorgeous, opalescent, sparkling ocean blue color. It was a perfect, polished sphere, attached by an intricate silver clasp to a delicate chain.
For a moment, you considered showing the others. Then you recalled the last time you'd found something interesting, when Bruce had snatched it out of your hands and insisted they take it to the lab for testing before you touched it. By the time he'd finished experimenting, the object had been reduced to ashes.
No - it was best you just keep this to yourself for the time being.
You'd have considered telling Loki, of course, but you didn't want to chance anyone overhearing your conversation on the ship. And maybe a small part of you wanted to inspect it for yourself. You could take care of yourself, after all. No need to have a demigod hovering over your shoulder while you investigated a simple jeweled necklace.
So, when you arrived back at the tower that evening, you declared you'd be heading straight to your room under the guise of wanting to take a shower. With a swift sleight of hand, you scooped the amulet out of the rucksack and concealed it in your fist, slipping it into your pants pocket before turning to hand off the crown to Bruce for safe keeping. Loki pressed a kiss to your lips before you broke away from the group to go to your room.
You shut the door gently behind you, unable to contain your excitement any longer as you slipped the amulet out of your pocket. It shimmered in your hand; a perfect sphere, magnifying the lines of your palm where it rested. Looping your fingers through the chain dangling from your hand, you paced over to your full length mirror and hung the amulet around your neck.
It was difficult to suppress the instinctive yelp of shock when you watched your reflection disappear.
"What the..." Turning your gaze downward, you held your hand out in front of your face to try to elucidate if it was merely your reflection, or if you had indeed become visible. The sight was disorienting - you couldn't see your hand, nor your feet where they were still planted on the floor beneath you.
Curiously, and with a nagging touch of anxiety that this could be irreversible, you slipped the amulet back over your head and held it in your hands. A sigh of relief puffed through your nose as your reflection faded back into existence as the magic of the amulet vanished. When you hung the amulet around your neck once again, you vanished the same way as before.
Perhaps dating the God of Mischief was beginning to corrupt you. The first thought that ran through your head once you'd fully processed the power held within this amulet was the vast array of pranks you could pull on your teammates under the cover of invisibility. Nobody would suspect it was you - partially because you'd be invisible, of course, but also because you never played pranks on anyone. In fact, you were often the victim of the others' tricks; particularly Loki's. Now was your chance to get harmless sweet revenge, and you'd barely need to put any thought into your pranking efforts.
You knew from the start you'd want to save Loki for last. It would be easier anyway, considering you knew his daily routine well by now. As mischievous and chaotic as he purported himself to be, Loki was a true creature of habit. Pranking the master of tricks and getting away with it would be the sweetest trick of all, and so you had to take the opportunity to get some practice on some of your teammates first.
Over the days that followed, you began to carry the amulet around in your pocket, observing the tower around you in search of opportunities to prank your unsuspecting friends. It was difficult to keep this secret from Loki. You typically shared everything with him - you wholly and completely trusted him, and so it was natural for you. But you couldn't spill this secret to him if you wanted to be afforded the sweet opportunity to play a prank on the unsuspecting God of Mischief. So, somehow, you managed to bite your tongue.
Your first opportunity to trial the amulet came a few days after its discovery.
It was an average Thursday morning, and you had been shuffling groggily down the hallway toward the kitchen to make yourself some coffee. As you passed by the common room, you heard the music and blasting sounds of Peter's game system echoing from within. He was alone this morning - you suspected he may have stayed up all night playing, based on the redness in his eyes and the rumpling of his clothes. What better time to trial a prank than now?
Glancing around, you quickly slipped into a closet and threw the amulet on around your neck. As before, your body below you disappeared from sight the moment the amulet fell to rest against your chest. You poked your head around the closet door before stepping back into the hallway, knowing it would be suspicious if someone suddenly walked into an invisible solid being.
You crept silently into the common room, undetected by the teenager engrossed in his racing game. Beside him, you noticed there was a lone controller sitting on the sofa cushions. Likely left there by Thor the evening before, you thought to yourself. As Peter suddenly leapt to his feet in a fit of protest over something that happened on the screen, you swiped the controller off the sofa and hid out of sight crouched beside the arm.
"What the..." Peter suddenly tilted his head in confusion as you entered the game as player two. You got to work selecting your character as he glanced wildly around the room, brow furrowed in confusion. Without waiting for him to change anything on his own character, you hit start and selected a map. "Mr. Stark! I know you're in here..."
You swiftly slid the controller under the sofa as Peter rounded the side you were seated on, careful to scurry out of his way so he wouldn't trip over your invisible form. He continued on around the back of the sofa, and you grabbed the controller and selected start to begin the race.
"Woah - wait!" Peter stumbled to the sofa to scoop up his own controller as the race began. By the time he'd started, the rest of the cars were already a few corners ahead, including your own. It was easy to smoke him this round, coming in first place.
Rubbing his eyes, Peter suddenly dropped the controller back on the sofa and walked out of the room, muttering something about needing sleep and ghosts under his breath. You had to hold your breath to prevent yourself from bursting into laughter on the spot.
Loki gave you a quizzical look when you wandered into the kitchen tardy for breakfast later that morning. You, of course, had already removed the amulet and hidden it away in your pocket before entering the room, not wanting to let anyone in on the secret by accident.
"Did you oversleep this morning, darling? I've never known you to be late for your morning coffee," he queried as you wandered closer and kissed him sweetly on the cheek.
"Yeah, a little bit," you fibbed, heading straight to the coffee maker to pour yourself a cup. "I hope I didn't make you worry."
"You know I always worry for you."
"Unnecessarily, yes." You scooped a teaspoon of sugar into your mug, stirring it into the bitter liquid. "I promise you, I've taken care of myself for many years. There's no need to worry about me all the time."
"Mm, yes, but something possessed you to decide to date the God of Mischief," he teased, trying to lighten the mood as you took a seat beside him at the table. "Clearly something isn't right up here" - he tapped you on the forehead, making you giggle - "for you to have done such a thing uncoerced."
"And how do I know it was uncoerced? Maybe you've cast a spell on me," you countered, nudging him playfully with your elbow.
"No spell is powerful enough to tame someone like you, darling."
You blushed a bit at that.
After breakfast, you decided to forgo any additional prank attempts for the remainder of the day. Better to go about your usual routine to throw off any mounting suspicion in Loki's mind that something was up. It didn't stop you from plotting, however.
And so, a few days later, once you felt as though Loki had grown complacent once again, you executed your next prank.
This time, your target was Clint. This weekend, he'd brought his kids to visit the compound and practice some archery in the state-of-the-art training facility Tony had constructed. There was a whole section devoted to archery practice, complete with both physical and virtual targets within a safe and contained space to avoid accidental injury of other teammates.
"Alright, Nate - you remember how to hold the bow up, right?" he instructed, assisting his youngest son with getting into stance. You watched silently, amulet securely hung around your neck to render yourself invisible to the eye. While you knew the kids would find it amusing, you couldn't bring yourself to trick them while they were practicing their own archery skills. Best to wait until Clint was demonstrating.
Nate shot a couple of arrows and quickly grew frustrated with his inability to hit the target. Your opportunity was fast approaching, you realized, as Clint slipped one of his own arrows out of his quiver and docked it in his bow. You had to be swift.
"Watch me, kiddo - make sure your elbow is pointed straight back when you pull the- what the hell??"
Clint shouted in confusion as you snatched the arrow out of his hands and removed it from the bow, tossing it across the training arena like a dart. To him, it would have appeared as though the arrow ripped itself from his hands and hurled a few feet away of its own accord. He appeared rather frazzled, although his kids all thought it was absolutely hilarious, laughing hysterically at their father's furrowed brow.
"Alright, very funny Cooper."
"What?? It wasn't me!" the older boy insisted indignantly.
"Yeah, sure. So some ghost came in here and stole my arrow, then? You expect me to believe that?"
"Sure looked like it to me," Lila interjected with a smirk.
"Uh-huh. I'm checkin' for strings this time. No more funny business."
Before he could reach behind his shoulder for a new arrow, you swiped the lot of them from the quiver and held them in your hands. It was difficult not to laugh when you watched his hand feeling around for another arrow, coming up short.
"Cooper! I just said no funny business!" Clint scolded, albeit with a playful undertone to his voice as he turned to his older son. Cooper held his hands up innocently.
"I didn't do anything!" he insisted.
"Alright, was it you then, Lila?"
"Nope."
"Dad!" Nate suddenly shouted, pointing straight at you. Clint spun around just in time to see his arrows seemingly hovering above the floor before you dropped them all unceremoniously to the ground with a clatter. The archer stared motionlessly at the floor, blinking in disbelief as his arrows rolled around haphazardly from the momentum of the fall.
"That... was weird. Alright kids - we're gonna go get a snack. I've got a bone to pick with Stark," Clint declared, leaving the arrows on the ground and motioning for his kids to follow. You stepped out of their path so they wouldn't run into you as they exited the training arena. The boys chortled at their father for his bewilderment as they made their way down the hallway toward the elevator. Only when their voices were out of earshot did you remove the amulet, revealing yourself to the now empty room.
That went even more perfectly than expected! you thought to yourself as you slipped the amulet back into your pocket for safe keeping.
That afternoon, you grabbed a book and headed to the common room to read for a while. As you were beginning to become engrossed in the story, a familiar baritone timbre sounded from the doorway.
"I thought we were going out to lunch this afternoon."
You slammed your book shut, whipping your head up to look at Loki with wide eyes. "Oh my god, I'm so sorry! It completely slipped my mind!"
"I see." He stepped into the room, gazing down at you where you sat on the sofa. "Forgive me, but you seem to be somewhat... distracted lately. I certainly hope everything is alright."
"Yes! Everything's fine, I promise." You patted the sofa cushion beside you to invite him to sit down. "I'm sorry if I seem distracted. It's just... been a while since I went on a mission. I'm itching to see some action. You know how restless it makes me."
His face softened, almost as though he was relieved. "Yes, I'm well aware you're a reckless daredevil at heart."
"Hey! I'm not reckless!" you retorted in jest, glad he seemed to believe your white lie. "In fact, I've saved your ass on a number of occasions when you have done something reckless."
Loki scowled, reaching over and pinching your side ticklishly. "I have done no such thing."
"Uh-huh. You keep telling yourself that."
When you'd finished bantering, Loki pulled out his own novel and began to read alongside you in silence. Your eyes skimmed the pages of your book, but your mind was elsewhere. The trickster was growing suspicious that something was up with you. It appeared you were running out of time - you'd have to execute your prank on him before he managed to figure out what you were doing.
For a few days, you bided your time, brainstorming the perfect prank for your mischievous love. It had to be subtle - anything extravagant, and he'd quickly realize someone was tricking him and seek out the culprit. Repetitive, small tricks would be your best shot at really getting him back without detection.
The perfect opportunity struck the following Saturday morning.
You'd recently shown Loki how to make pancakes - the god had a sweet tooth, despite the fact he refused to admit it - and so lately he'd been making them once a week for the pair of you for breakfast. It was very sweet of him, of course - you expressed your appreciation each time you sat down to a steaming hot stack of golden brown pancakes in the morning made by the god. You almost felt badly about using this as your opportunity to prank him, but you couldn't pass it up. It was such a predictable part of his Saturday morning now. So many utensils, so many ingredients that you could secretly move around behind his back without his knowledge. It was simply perfect.
With the amulet around your neck, you crept silently into the kitchen while Loki had his back to you. As chaotic as he could be, when he was in the kitchen, he was meticulously organized - setting out all his ingredients and utensils before starting, ensuring the countertops remained clean... You loved watching him cook. But not today - today you'd be stirring up a little mischief.
He'd begun gathering the ingredients from the refrigerator already, so you snuck over to the utensil drawer and stole the dry measuring cups before he ducked his head out of the fridge to see what was happening. It was like clockwork - the moment he'd set the eggs and milk on the counter, he went straight to the drawer, looking a bit put out that the utensil he needed wasn't in there. For good measure, you placed it on the kitchen island behind him for him to find when he finally decided to turn around.
When Loki had started preparing the wet ingredients, you snuck over to stand beside him, undetectable under the cover of invisibility despite your proximity. He opened the egg carton and removed an egg, and while he had his head turned to focus on cracking it into the bowl without making a mess, you removed two eggs from the carton. In the meantime, he'd cleanly deposited the white and yolk of the first egg into his bowl, turning back to reach for another egg.
"What in the name of Freyja..." His brows knit together as he mentally clocked the fact that the carton was more empty than it had been only seconds ago. Spinning around, he glanced behind him for any sneaky bystanders who may have decided to mess with him. It was then that he noticed the measuring cup you'd placed on the kitchen island. "I didn't put you here..." he muttered under his breath, snatching it up and moving it to sit with the remainder of his cooking utensils. While his back was turned, you'd returned the two eggs to the carton, setting them in different spots than they'd been in originally.
It didn't take long for him to notice the eggs had magically returned. Scowling, he took another egg in his hand to crack it into the bowl. Clearly this was getting on his nerves, but you still hadn't gotten quite the reaction you were looking for. You had to plot something truly mischievous.
And so, when he began measuring the dry ingredients, you snatched up a spoonful of flour when he wasn't looking and turned it over on his head.
The angle of it had caused powder to tumble down into his face, causing him to yelp in surprise. You had to physically bite your tongue to keep from laughing as the white powder settled into his dark locks, despite him shaking his head. Before he could start glancing around wildly, you'd returned the spoon to the flour container where you'd found it.
"Who's there??" Loki demanded aloud to the visibly empty room, running his fingers through his hair to shake some more of the flour from his head. His eyes roamed around the perimeter of the kitchen, his gaze intense as he searched for the culprit of the flour dumping. After scanning the room for a few moments, Loki warily returned his attention to the bowl of dry ingredients in front of him. Feeling impish, you picked up an egg and prepared to crack it on the back of his head.
What happened next, you weren't expecting.
Before you could succeed in smashing the egg, Loki suddenly spun around with the bowl of flour in his hands, launching the white powder straight at you. You dropped the egg to the floor in surprise as the flour stuck to your hair, face, and shirt, revealing your invisible outline in a thin layer of white. The shock of it made you gasp, which caused you to suck flour dust into your mouth and nose. Immediately, you began to cough as the powder hit the back of your throat.
"Yohou... ack... how... ahem... how did you know?!" you exclaimed through your spluttering. "I'm invisible, aren't I?"
"Yes..." Loki reached out and grasped the amulet, lifting it up and over your head. "... but do you honestly think I haven't known about your discovery of this little artifact the whole time?"
You stared at him, blinking for a moment as heat prickled in your cheeks. "You... did?"
He smirked mischievously. "I knew you were hiding something the day we traveled to Sakaar."
"But how-"
"You were nearly silent on the walk back to the ship. I know you well enough by now to recognize when you're lost in thought." He absently spun the gemstone between his thumb and index finger. "And you've never been good at those little tricks you Midgardians call 'magic.' I saw you slip something in your pocket."
"Oh... is that right?"
"At first, I was bothered that you wanted to hide something from me - especially a potentially dangerous mystical artifact." You scratched the back of your neck sheepishly at that. "Then I witnessed the trick you pulled on Parker before I could discuss it with you. So I decided to let you have your fun." Loki's smirk broadened. "After all - I knew you'd eventually try to prank me..."
"How did you know that? I never get to pull pranks on you!"
"Come now, darling. After years together, I know everything about you." He suddenly stepped forward and wrapped his arm around your waist, hoisting you up and tossing you over his shoulder.
"Hehey!! Loki! Put me dohown!" you demanded, albeit only half-heartedly. He ignored your pleas, carrying you out of the kitchen and down the hallway as he continued on with his little monologue.
"I know you love my pancakes more than your own..." He turned and entered the common room. "I know you avoid eye contact when you're trying to lie about something..."
"But-"
"I know you've always wanted to successfully execute a prank against me, but you've never had the heart to go through with it." He turned and sat down on the sofa, shifting to dump you gently onto your back on the seat cushions beside him. "Am I wrong?"
You narrowed your eyes, folding your arms defiantly across your chest. "I refuse to gratify that with a response, you smug little-"
"Ah-ah! Would you like to know what else I know about you?" His eyes were sparkling with an impish glow, which made you somewhat uneasy. You propped yourself up on your elbows and tilted your head in confusion. He responded by grabbing hold of your ankles where your feet rested beside his leg, tugging them both into his lap and making you squeak in surprise as you slid a few inches across the sofa.
You knew where he was going with this before he said it out loud.
"I know your ultimate weakness."
"N-no, Loki, wahait!" Your eyes went wide and pleading as you attempted to tug your ankles from the crook of his elbow where he'd gathered them. He paused, the fingers of his free hand mere inches from the soles of your feet as he gazed at you expectantly. The nervous giggles were already bubbling up in your throat. "D-did I really wrohong you so badly to warrant such p-eheh-punishment??"
He grinned devilishly, tightening his arm around your ankles. "You lied to me, hid something from me, and you attempted to prank me-"
"Succeeded in pranking you."
Loki growled at your interruption. "Darling - you've only served to seal your fate."
With that, he began scratching at the soles of your feet, sending you into immediate hysterics. Your reaction only encouraged the mischievous god as he skittered his fingertips up and down the lengths of your soles.
"Honestly - you had to have seen this coming, love. You are well aware that my favorite form of revenge against you is to tickle you senseless."
"LOHOHOKI! NOHOHO, PLEHEASE!!"
"And after all these years, I know exactly how to pinpoint the spots that drive you mad with laughter," he teased, ignoring your pleading. "For example..." He grazed two fingers directly up the center of your foot, smirking as your leg jolted at his touch.
"I-HI CAHAN'T!!" Tears of mirth were already forming in your eyes. You truly didn't mind when Loki tickled you - you adored this playful side of your love. But he hadn't been exaggerating when he said he knew your 'ultimate weakness.' He knew quite well how unbearably ticklish your feet were - so much so that he usually spared them during the occasional playful wrestling and tickle fights you had. But if you happened to get too cheeky with him, he wouldn't hesitate to initiate a very precise and targeted attack.
When he shifted to scratch at the soft spot just above your heel, you jerked so hard you actually managed to break free of his hold, rolling toward the edge of the sofa in an effort to escape. He threw his arm out and caught hold of you by the waist as you rolled onto your stomach before you could reach the edge.
"Where do you think you're going?" he sneered playfully, reaching over with his other hand to knead at both sides. You screeched and giggled, swinging your legs involuntarily in protest and grasping at his hands above your hips. "Oh-ho, trying to kick me now, are you?"
"Noho, I-hi didn't mehean toho- WAHAIT NOHO LOKI PLEHEHEASE!!"
He'd snatched hold of your ankles again, swiftly shifting with them locked in his grip so he could plant his weight on top of the backs of your thighs, rendering you trapped on your stomach across the sofa. Protests laced with giggles spouted from your lips as he grasped one of your ankles and lifted it from the sofa, forcing a bend in your knee.
"Still think it was a good idea to try to escape?" he asked facetiously as he wrapped his arm around your ankle to pin it tightly to his chest. You turned your head as much as you could to flash your pleading eyes at your Asgardian lover, but he'd already made up his mind. With a sly smirk, the fingers of his free hand descended on the sole of your trapped foot, tracing along the outer edge.
"NOHO!!" You screeched before burying your face into the sofa cushion, muffling the vibrant laughter tearing from your chest. You could feel the vibration of a laugh in his chest against your leg where he'd trapped you.
"My, my... and this isn't even the worst spot," he hummed ominously. You gasped, fighting to beg him not to target the spot you knew he'd be moving to next. "Oh, but darling, I can't possibly leave the other foot neglected."
"YES YOU CAHAHAN!"
Continuing to ignore you, he ceased his attack on the trapped foot and swapped his grasp to scoop up your other ankle. Desperately, you curled your toes to try to hide as much ticklish skin as possible. He tutted at you for that, tightening his arm around your ankle to allow himself to reach your foot with that same hand, prying your toes back.
"W-WAHAIT!"
To your surprise, he paused, turning to gaze at you without releasing his hold on your foot. You began your last-ditch desperate effort to convince him.
"Loki, I'm sohorry! I swear I'll nehever hide anything frohom you again! I'm sorry I-hi lied!"
"Mm, I believe you." He moved his free hand toward the hypersensitive spot underneath your toes, and you shouted once again in protest.
"BUT WAHAIT!!"
He raised his brows, tilting his chin down expectantly. "I'm listening."
"L-Loki... dohon't you lohove me?" you squeaked, face burning hot.
A soft smile crossed his lips then. "Yes, darling. I love you. Very much."
You smiled sweetly in return. "I love you too."
For a moment, you thought you'd managed to convince him. But then, his expression hardened once again, and that devilish smirk made its way back onto his face.
"In fact, it's precisely the reason why I must ensure the message sinks in."
Without allowing you time to continue pleading, he dug his fingertips into the deathly ticklish spot beneath your toes.
One last loud shriek was all you had before dissolving into silent, shaking laughter. He knew exactly how to tickle you to make the sensation unbearable, after years of opportunity to practice. His fingers scratched and flitted against the soft skin until you began to weakly slap your hand against the sofa in surrender.
With a fond chuckle, Loki finally relented and released your ankle, rubbing a firm, soothing hand against the back of your calf to prove he was finished tormenting you. You coughed a bit as you caught your breath.
"Gehet... get ohoff me, you're heavy!" you griped teasingly. His eyes flashed dangerously.
"If I didn't think it would kill you, I'd repeat the lesson," he warned, standing for a moment to allow you to turn over and shift your legs off his seat. When he sat back down, he reached over and wrapped an arm around your shoulders, lifting your back off the couch so he could scoot you into his lap. You rested your head on his shoulder in exhaustion.
"You're damn ruthless, you know."
"Mm. I'm well aware." He winked with a grin, causing heat to rush to your cheeks. "In all seriousness, darling - I must insist you heed caution when it comes to strange magical artifacts. I would be absolutely devastated should something terrible befall you."
"I... I'm sorry," you whispered, pressing your forehead lovingly against his cheek. "I just wanted to take care of myself for a change. I know you do it because you love me, but you don't have to protect me from everything."
Loki laughed once, deep in his throat. "You are one of the strongest mortals I know, darling. I'll try to remember that on the battlefield."
"Thank you." You smiled, tilting your head back to press your lips to his. Grinning cheekily, you added, "And I promise I'll run all my magical finds by you before using them to torment our friends."
"I'd appreciate that, thank you."
You sat in silence for a moment, simply enjoying the feeling of being wrapped safely in Loki's arms. Now that you thought about it, you were surprised and flattered to learn how deeply he knew you. He had clearly been observing you closely, perceptive to your little quirks and traits. It made you feel... cared for. Loved.
You recalled, then, that the pancake ingredients were still sitting out in the kitchen. And so, as the pair of you finally stood at your suggestion to return to breakfast, you began to brainstorm how you might finally be able to pull a successful prank on your boyfriend.
But, for today, you didn't have the heart.

Prompt: Bruce has no idea that Betty, Tony & Thor meet up coffee sometimes to talk what it’s like loving him.
okay I will admit I had absolutely no idea how to go about this until like. last night when I had an idea that I didn't even know was going to work until I finished it, but please accept this as a way to really show how loved Bruce is
Read To Love and Be Loved here on ao3
~~~
In every person’s life, there are certain people, certain loves that impact you the most. These are people that leave lasting imprints, the people that no matter how far away they are you’ll never forget them. 
Bruce Banner had three of these loves. 
Lost Love
Betty Ross was his first love. She was a genius, a quick thinker, and she was always ready to lend a hand with his work.  
To say he loved her was an understatement. 
Back when they met, Bruce may have also technically been considered a genius, but he thinks he may have been a little bit stupid too. 
Like maybe, just maybe, if he’d lived his life a little differently, made smarter choices, then maybe he wouldn’t have lost her. 
Still, had he not made those mistakes, he probably wouldn’t have met his second love. 
Right Place, Wrong Time
Actually, he might have met his second love without the Hulk, but he certainly expedited the process. 
Tony Stark was an enigma. 
Of course he knew about him long before he met the man. Everyone knew about Tony Stark, the son of Howard Stark, the prince of a technological empire, and a genius to boot. 
Bruce may have had a type. 
They were introduced when aliens descended on New York, and they were met with the challenge of how to cope with being on a team of Earth’s mightiest heroes. 
After it was all said and done and the planet wasn’t destroyed, Tony invited him to stick around. Apparently he’d told the government to go fuck themselves a few years back, and he would be perfectly safe in any of Tony’s homes. 
Of course he took him up on it. Working side by side with Tony Stark was a dream he’d had since he was in high school. 
Then, after a fateful night, one where they were up too late, giddy with the thrill of a major breakthrough, another dream came true. 
Tony touched him like he meant something, like he mattered, like he was loved. 
If only, if only, they had led different lives. Because the next time the world ended they were ripped apart, and Bruce never even got to process his broken heart.
True Love
Being on another planet was an interesting experience. It wasn’t part of his life plan to leave Earth, but if he’d learned anything in the past decade, it was that he didn’t get to make those decisions for himself. 
So he ended up on another planet on the outskirts of the universe, somewhere where no one could find him. 
Except someone found him. 
When the Avengers were formed, Bruce didn’t expect to get along with anyone besides Tony and maybe Natasha. Steve, Clint, and Thor were nice and all, but they never really became more than colleagues. 
Now though, watching Thor, he was curious. He was kind even though he was clearly in pain, and he kept up with Bruce intellectually which he hadn’t expected.
Not that Thor was dumb, but Bruce’s brain worked fast, faster than most humans could keep up with, and he never expected anyone to understand.  
The Asgardian talked about science as if it were magic. Not like he couldn’t comprehend it, but as if they were one and the same. 
Had he been missing out on this all along?
There wasn’t time to contemplate what that meant since they had to almost destroy Sakaar to escape it and save Asgard before they could get back to Earth, but once he was back home and everyone was safe, he came to a conclusion. 
Maybe he had been missing this, but it couldn’t have happened any other way. 
So he called Thor one night, plagued by nightmares and unanswered questions, and invited him to join him in the lab. 
It reminded him of Tony, being up so late at night making discoveries, but at the same time, it was so much quieter. 
Thor’s presence in the lab was strange, but it felt right. 
Finally, just before dawn, he finished running the calculations on a neutron star comparable to the ones surrounding Sakaar. 
“Did you find your answers, Doctor Banner?” Thor inquired quietly, the sound still rumbling out in the silence of the lab. 
“Do you want to get coffee with me?” Bruce asked instead of answering. 
Now, after all this time, he was happy. He’d loved and been loved, and even though certain relationships hadn’t lasted, he knew they had made him into the person he was today. 
He still talked to Betty from time to time, video chatting with her from wherever she was changing the world. She was in Denmark now, and she had changed too. 
It was funny, watching her talk. She moved in a way that reminded him of Tony, erratic but pointed, never without purpose and full of energy. Her command of a room reminded him of Thor, confident, larger than life, yet understanding and kind. 
And Tony, even though he was constantly splitting time between New York and California, checked in on him the same way she did. He would never stop him if Bruce thought he could do something, but he was always watching to make sure he didn’t go overboard again. Plus he was starting to talk about science the way Thor did, understanding the greater universe in a more nuanced way where even the concepts they’d known for years could be observed with wonder. 
Then there was Thor. Thor who was gentle and warm, but liked to challenge him to do better every single day, and who made him happy. He may not have been his type, but maybe his type wasn’t about small statured brunettes. Maybe it was about their kindness, their genius, about how much they cared. 
What Bruce didn’t know was how far that love went. That they had a group chat dedicated to scheduling monthly coffee meet ups, reminders to get Bruce to take breaks when he was immersed in a project, and recollections of memories from over the years, from college to late adulthood. 
Bruce Banner had three loves that changed his life. He just hadn’t considered that maybe he’d changed theirs too.

Portal to My Heart (Book 1.5) Chapter Thirteen
Loki x Reader
Chapter Thirteen: Out the Window
Summary: (Y/N) makes her escape, Loki gets worried, and Valkyrie comes to an (incorrect) conclusion.
            (Y/N) opened the blueprint of the building and ran through the multiple levels of living quarters.
            “What are you doing?” said Loki, standing in the doorway and watching her.
            “Working,” said (Y/N).
            “(Y/N), you stormed out of the stadium. Grandmaster noticed. That didn’t keep a low profile,” said Loki.
            “Don’t care. I’m over this,” said (Y/N). “I’m find Thor and going with him to Asgard.”
            “What?” Loki’s voice sharpened. “Don’t you remember Hela is there?”
            “Yeah, that’s exactly why I’m going,” said (Y/N). “I can’t just let her hurt innocents.”
            “What about Sakaar? What about the people here?” said Loki. What about me?
            “Hela is the bigger issue. She’ll try to conquer everything,” said (Y/N). “And that includes Sakaar. I have to prioritize. I’ll come back to help the people here after the crazy lady trying to rule the Nine Realms is stopped.”
            “You can’t fight Hela,” said Loki.
            “Like hell I can’t,” scoffed (Y/N).
            “(Y/N), you can’t run towards your own death,” said Loki. He was trying anything to get her to stay, to not run into danger.
            “Someone has to stop Hela, Loki. And who else but you, me, and Thor?” said (Y/N) furiously. “Just because you are going to hide here and get some power from the Grandmaster and then just wait until Hela comes for you and the rest of the universe doesn’t mean I’m going to wait. I’m going to do something.”
            “Please, (Y/N), don’t be a fool,” said Loki. His words came close to pleading. He couldn’t stand the idea of (Y/N) hurt.
            “Someone has to be.” (Y/N) smiled. “And I’m very good at it.” She brushed past Loki and walked out of the room.
            Loki looked down at his feet. If only he had the bravery to reach out and pull her back.
l
            “Alright,” said Valkyrie. “Here’s the deal. I’ll listen to you…” she held up a bottle. “Until this is empty.”
            “Can I have some?” said (Y/N), clicking a button on the keypad. The field let her in.
            Hulk, Thor, and Valkyrie paused and turned to her.
            “Hi,” she said, raising a hand.
            “How did you…?” Thor stared at her in confusion.
            “Hacked the system,” said (Y/N) with a shrug.
            “You’re one of Grandmaster’s favorites,” said Valkyrie, tilting her head. “You’re Loki’s girlfriend, right?”
            “You two have finally gotten together?!” said Thor excitedly. “Congratulations!”
            “We are not dating,” hissed (Y/N). “It was a cover so Grandmaster would stop flirting with us.” Her face was bright red.
            Valkyrie shrugged, not buying it. “Just so long as you aren’t one of his lackeys.”
            “Ew, no, I don’t bow to men,” said (Y/N).
            “She doesn’t. Loki once nearly killed her because of it,” said Thor.
            “…And you’re with him now?” said Valkyrie.
            “I’m not dating him, damn it,” muttered (Y/N). “This is not why I’m here.” She crossed her arms and turned to Thor. “I’m here to help you. God knows you need it, you and your brother are helpless without me.”
            “Great!” said Thor boisterously. “Now we have a team!”
            “I’m still not with you. You have to convince me,” said Valkyrie. She held up her bottle again. “So get talking.” She tipped back the bottle.
            “Asgard is in danger, and people are dying,” said Thor. “We need to get back. I need your help…” He trailed off. Valkyrie was already done. “Wow.”
            That was strangely attractive.
            “Finished. Bye.” Valkyrie tossed the bottle to the floor, let it shatter, and turned away.
            “Odin is dead,” said Thor. Valkyrie paused at the door. “Hela, the Goddess of Death, has invaded Asgard.”
            “If Hela’s back, then Asgard’s already lost,” said Valkyrie.
            “I’m going to stop her,” said Thor.
            “You and (Y/N)?” said Valkyrie incredulously.
            “No, the team is all of us. Me, (Y/N), you, and the big guy,” said Thor.
            “No! No team. Only Hulk!” shouted Hulk.
            “It’s me, (Y/N), and you,” amended Thor.
            “I think it’s just you and (Y/N), who’s insane enough to date Loki and work with you,” said Valkyrie.
            (Y/N) groaned. Clearly, no one was listening to her.
            “Wait, just listen,” said Thor. “The Valkyrie are legend. Elite warriors of Asgard sworn to defend the throne.”
            “I’m not getting dragged into another one of Odin’s family squabbles,” said Valkyrie.
            “What’s that supposed to me?” said Thor.
            “Your sister. Her power comes from Asgard, same as yours,” said Valkyrie. “When it grew beyond Odin’s control, she massacred everyone in the palace and tried to seize the throne. When she tried to escape her banishment, he sent the Valkyrie in to fight her back. I only survived because…” She shook her head, banishing the memories. “Look, I already faced her once back when I believe in the throne, and it cost me everything. That’s what’s wrong with Asgard. The throne, the secrets, the whole golden sham.”
            “And what about the people?” said (Y/N). “I’ve met them. They’re innocent in this. And Hela will destroy them for her own power. How can we leave them?” She wouldn’t.
            “(Y/N) ruled. I turned it down. We both care about the people of Asgard, and I know you do, too,” said Thor, stepping closer.
            “Just forget it. I have,” said Valkyrie, shoving Thor back. She didn’t like the feelings she had suppressed for so long dragged up.
            “Thank you,” said Thor.
            “For what?” said Valkyrie.
            “For this,” said Thor, holding up a small device. “Didn’t see that, did you?” He flicked a button, and the disk in his neck powered down. “That’s better.” Thor pulled it off his neck. “You know, go ahead. Stay here and enslave people for that lunatic. Keep drinking, keep hiding. But me?” He caught the ball Hulk was throwing around. “I choose to run towards my problems instead of away and not away from them.” He threw the ball at the window. “Because that’s what—” It bounced back and hit him in the face. Thor jumped back up and ignored the unimpressed expression on Valkyrie’s face and the smirk on (Y/N)’s. “Because that’s what heroes do.” He ran and jumped through the window. It shattered, and he went sliding down the side of the building.
            (Y/N) leaned out the window and watched him jump leap from building to building and slide to the junkyard below. “Well, now that he’s down there.” She held up a hand and waved it. A portal appeared to Thor below. “Bye!” She saluted and stepped through, letting it close behind her.
            “So, what’ve you found?” said (Y/N) to Thor in the junkyard.
            “The Quinjet,” said Thor. “It must be how Banner got here.” He huffed. “But none of my names let me into the system.”
            “Stark probably gave you a nickname,” said (Y/N).
            “Damn him,” said Thor.
            “Relax, I’ve got it.” (Y/N) tapped the screen on and worked for a moment as Thor hovered behind her.
            “Welcome, ‘Genius, Playboy, Billionaire, Philanthropist.’ ” The AI’s voice spoke out.
            “He would call himself that,” said (Y/N). She smiled. “But I’ve got it working!”
            Crunch!
            “Friend stay!” Hulk pushed into the Quinjet, destroying it as he went.
            “No, no, no! Stop!” shouted Thor.
            “God damn it!” said (Y/N), throwing up her arms.
            “Stop! Stop breaking everything!” said Thor.
            “Don’t go!” Hulk had barreled through everything.
            Thor pressed random buttons desperately, and a video log appeared. It was Black Widow.
            “Nice work, Big Guy,” said the recording. “We don’t know where Ultron’s headed, but you’re going very high, very fast.”
            Hulk slowed as he gazed at Black Widow’s face.
            “So, I need you to turn this bird around, okay?” continued Black Widow. “We can’t track you in stealth mode, so I need you to help me out. Okay?”
            Hulk grunted and winced. He grabbed his head and winced. The recording halted and skipped, but it had already worked its magic. Hulk slammed into the walls and punched his head. As he thrashed, his body shrunk and grew. The Hulk was leaving; Banner was returning.
            “No! No, Banner!” cried Hulk. After he threw himself against the wall a few more times, he collapsed to the ground, and his green body faded to leave Banner.
            “Banner?” said Thor hesitantly.
            “Yikes,” muttered (Y/N).
            “Hey, hey, hey.” Thor calmly hushed Banner as the man looked around in confusion. “You alright, Banner?” Banner jerked in fear. “Sh, sh! Sun’s going down, sun’s going down! That’s it, breathe! I won’t hurt you.”
            “And for the record, I won’t either,” said (Y/N), waving.
            Banner groaned and rubbed his head. “Thor…”
            “Yeah,” said Thor.
            “What happened to your hair?” said Banner in confusion.
            “Some creepy old man cut it off,” said Thor.
            “It looks good,” said Banner. He saw (Y/N). “…Is that the hostage Loki took…?”
            “It’s a really long story,” said (Y/N). “I’m (Y/N).”
            “I’m Bruce,” said Banner. He was too confused about everything else to deal with seeing (Y/N). “Where are we? How’s Nat?”
            “Uh, Nat is good, I’m sure,” said Thor.
            “Is she okay?” asked Bruce. “And what about Sokovia?”
            “Sokovia?” said (Y/N) in confusion.
            “The city, Sokovia, did we save it?” said Bruce.
            “Banner, listen,” said Thor. “Sokovia, Ultron, that was two years ago.”
            “Wow, I really missed a lot with my time on Asgard,” said (Y/N).
            “What…?” said Bruce. “I’ve been Hulk for two years?”
            “I’m afraid so,” said Thor.
            “That sucks,” said (Y/N).
            “What the hell happened?” said Bruce. He stood, thankfully holding Hulk’s kilt around himself, and walked to the console.
            “Banner, there’s something you should know,” said Thor.
            “What do you want?” said (Y/N).
            “Ship’s Log,” said Bruce.
            (Y/N) typed in and brought up the videos again. The record showed Hulk pulling himself up in the Quinjet as it flew away from Sokovia. It had a fearful Hulk confused about where he was heading.
            “Where are we?” said Bruce.
            “Well…” Before (Y/N) could say anything, a large hologram of Grandmaster appeared.
            “Sakaar, hear ye!” he said dramatically. “Attention, please. I have some bad news. My beloved exhalated champion has turned up missing, as has one of my favorite guests! Take to the streets. Celebrate my champion!”
            “Who’s that?” said Bruce.
            “Grandmaster. He’s the tyrant who runs this place,” said (Y/N).
            “You and (Y/N) lived in his house for a while,” said Thor.
            “I did?” said Bruce. Poor guy was confused.
            “Yeah. Quite a lot’s happened. You and I had a fight recently,” said Thor.
            “Did I win?” asked Bruce.
            “No. I won. Easily,” lied Thor.
            (Y/N) snorted.
            “Doesn’t sound right…” said Bruce.
            “Well, it’s true,” said Thor.
            (Y/N) mouthed “it’s not” to Bruce.
            “It seems that the criminally seductive Lord of Thunder has stolen them away!” continued Grandmaster.
            “Seductive God of Thunder,” said Thor, sulking.
            “We need to find another ship,” said (Y/N). “We can’t get back into the tower, so I can’t get to Grandmaster’s ships, but it’s worse to just stay here.” She wasn’t about to be caught by Grandmaster.
            “This is bad…this is really, really bad,” said Bruce. “I think I’m freaking out…”
            “No, no, no,” said Thor hurriedly, pulling out Stark’s spare clothes and pushing them into Bruce’s hands. “Don’t freak out. You’re okay. Put these on.”
            “Hurry up,” said (Y/N). “The first place they’ll come is here, and I don’t want to be caught with someone’s pants down.”
l
            Loki kept his face expressionless as he and Valkyrie approached the Grandmaster in his throne room. He needed to keep calm and remain in the Grandmaster’s good graces so that he could go and find (Y/N). Then he’d have time to create a story that annulled any possible accusations against (Y/N).
            “I’m upset!” said Grandmaster. “I’m very upset. You know what I like about being upset? The blame. Right now, that’s the mindset I’m in. And you know who I’m blaming?”
            Loki stepped forward. “Grandmaster, I can—”
            “Hey!” Grandmaster cut him off. “Don’t interrupt me!”
            His right-hand woman, Topaz, held up the melting stick. “Here you go.”
            “Why are you handing me the melt stick?” said Grandmaster in confusion. “He was interrupting. That’s not a capital violation. Where was I…?” He cleared his throat. “My precious champion and favorite, most attractive guest—” Loki bit his tongue and fought not to narrow his eyes “—have come up missing, and it’s all because of that Lord of Thunder.”
            At least he hasn’t figured out (Y/N) is working with Thor, thought Loki.
            “It’s all because of him. Your brother,” said Grandmaster. “Whatever the story is, adopted or complicated. I’m sure there’s a big history.” He pointed at Valkyrie. “And your contender!”
            “If you were to give me twelve hours, I’d bring my…uh, (Y/N) and your champion back safely, and Thor will be delivered to you alive,” said Loki.
            “I could do it in two,” said Valkyrie.
            “I could do it in one,” said Loki.
            “Let’s stop there,” said Grandmaster, though he wasn’t not enjoying them vie for his favor. “You know what? I woke up this morning thinking about a public execution. But for now, I’ll settle for this sweet little ‘Who’s gonna get ‘em first?’ So you’re on the clock.”
            Loki and Valkyrie didn’t wait around and were walking at full speed out of the room.
            “What have you done?” said Loki. The short timespan would drive both of them into danger.
            “I don’t answer to you, Lackey. And I thought you’d want to quickly go and find your girlfriend before Grandmaster realizes she’s definitely not been kidnapped,” said Valkyrie.
            “It’s Loki,” said the god of lies, grabbing Valkyrie’s wrist. “And (Y/N)’s not my girlfriend, just a fool running into danger that I need to stop.”
            Valkyrie pulled away from his grip, and the two parried blows until she hit him in the face and smirked.
            “Why would you let her go with that oaf and that creature?” said Loki. He was furious that Valkyrie had let (Y/N), clearly a Midgardian, go off into danger with a green creature and Thor of all people. He was more furious at himself for not stopping (Y/N), but he was good at projecting.
            He extended a knife and lunged at Valkyrie. She pulled out a dagger and dodged. They blocked and slashed at each other, spinning around the room. Loki caught her arm and saw her tattoo.
            “You’re a Valkyrie,” he realized.
            Valkyrie ducked out his hold, and they fought once more until Valkyrie kicked him into the wall.
            “I thought that the Valkyrie had all died gruesome deaths,” said Loki, lashing out as his own feelings bubbled over.
            Valkyrie pinned him to the wall with her knee in his throat. “Choose your next words wisely.”
            “I’m terribly sorry. Must be a painful memory,” said Loki.
            He grabbed her forehead, and Valkyrie was thrown into the memory of her and her love’s battle against Hela. Every death and painful injury replayed.
            Valkyrie jerked back to reality and fell back. Loki stared at her and realized what he’d done. He could hear (Y/N)’s disapproval, and his heart clenched. Valkyrie turned back to him and slammed him into the ground. With a single angry punch, she knocked him out.
            Loki’s last thought was that (Y/N) would have given him the same treatment.

Also the fact that thor and loki's (larry!) new outfits matches their personalities lol
If I can get meta about this for a second, I think the huge difference in Loki's costumes over TDW/Ragnarok/Loki is actually really indicative of his internal struggle to find his identity. It's really obvious in the series how his Avengers outfit is literally stripped away from him and he's put in the most boring, nondescript thing ever—his old life is burned away, the illusion is gone, and that makes him...what? Who is Loki, without that? What makes a Loki a Loki? Central point of the show, obvs.
But we see the seeds of that in TDW, too, in the dungeon scene with Loki and Thor. Loki literally casts an illusion of himself all put together, looking nice, but when he lets it drop away, he's in essentially his underthings (Asgardian loungewear, haha), clothes ripped, hair messy, bare feet. This is who Loki is: an absolute wreck. And then what does he do? He puts the illusion back up.
Ragnarok sees him literally posing as Odin, and then, when Hela shows up and Loki ends up on Sakaar, he ditches the longcoat and the elaborate Asgardian clothing for that leather look. Not only that, but he abandons his signature black/green/gold for blue/purple/yellow, which we've never seen him in. He's running from who he is, running from Asgard, running from his life. Then, of course, when he comes back to Asgard, he keeps the Sakaaran leather, but goes back to his black/green/gold.
tl;dr, I think it's really cool how the creative teams of both Ragnarok and the series really leaned into the symbolism of wardrobe changes.

I honestly agree with you on everything after ragnarok is not canon. Although I love Thor ragnarok, it’s an entertaining movie and ive seen it more times then I should, thinking about it now I’ve never seen Thor ragnarok as canon. it’s just been a movie that’s really shitty but entertaining, and funny when you don’t have context about the characters.
I just hate that it’s so disrespectful to the actual characters. AND what’s even worse, is that I did not even consider the movie disrespectful to the characters until I was on tumblr and found threads of old posts/things you’ve reblogged on why it is.
And everything after it, has come tumbling after.
People need to realise there’s a difference between entertaining cinema, vs actual good Quality cinema. Especially with something like marvel because it’s all “connected”. Marvel is choosing quantity over quality and it’s clearly showing.
Yup. Marvel-Disney has become the 'Five Minute Crafts' of movie making. They're pumping out multiple shows and movies annually, but there's hardly any substance to them anymore. Nothing actually connects in this so-called cinematic universe, but the promos and interviews will try to fool you into believing it.
There's no cohesive story, only easter eggs abound. They're mostly meaningless, because most of them have their roots in different storylines in the comics, not the movies. Like, wtf was Thanoscopter doing in the Loki series? Or why was Sylvie wearing the broken crown (which was originally worn by AoA Loki for very specific reasons)?
Moreover, every new entity boasts of bringing in a drastic change into the multiverse or having a powerful character like no other before them. Yet, all of this is forgotten in the next entity they release. Rinse repeat.
The problem with Ragnarok was that it wanted to be funnier and bigger than GOTG--a movie that somewhat broke the mold for MCU movies at that time. It constituted an unlikely team of antiheroes who became heroic, and it had a more zany kind of humour to it.
What Ragnarok didn't note was that GOTG had heart. It had zany humour, yes, but it also had plenty of poignant moments. It didn't make a joke out of everything, most certainly not the characters. Every character was handled carefully, their trauma and loss acknowledged despite their negative actions.
Ragnarok failed supremely at this. Bruce turned into a parody of anxiety attacks and 'useless' nerdiness (7 PhDs but can't fly a ship, haha). Loki--a character of a subjugated race, taken from his people, raised to hate his own race, a clear victim of Asgard's imperialistic and colonial agenda, was made fun of for simply existing. His trauma was ignored, his relationship to Thor was twisted to make Thor into a victim, and instead, his main oppressor, Odin, was glorified despite his war crimes and invasions. What more, the fact that Thor left Loki to die on Sakaar was glossed over and made into a joke. Valkyrie (she still doesn't have a name, even post l&t) was introduced as a slave trader (does anyone find it sus that a woman of colour was shown as a slave trader?) and this part of her life was never acknowledged again, not even by Bruce, even though she traded the hulk to the GM.
Thor...sigh, where do I even begin? Gone was the considerate and thoughtful Thor we had seen in TDW, the Thor who acknowledged his father's bad decisions and tried to counter them by putting his own life on the line. Gone was the Thor who held his dying brother in his arms and cried. Granted, canon Thor had his issues to overcome, but he was never crass and inconsiderate like Ragnarok Thor. Ragnarok not only uprooted Thor from his growing self awareness and growth, it uprooted him wholly from Asgard. Killed off his friends and killed off his home. And made a joke about it all.
There's so much more to say about that trash movie and it's confused purpose, but all in all, it put the first nail into the whole franchise' coffin. L&T is only a continuation of that, based in the same theme of ridicule and distasteful humour.
What rankles is that it could've been a great movie, had Chris and Taika taken their heads out of their respective asses for a bit to think it over. But they were too busy making toilet level jokes and jerking around the sets, ignoring the script (which btw had Thor admitting to his mistakes to Loki) and just improvising everything with their bs logic. Taika didn't even do his research on the characters.
And that's something he's proud of. A theme that has continued with the creators in other Marvel entities too.
I just feel very sad about it. Because phase 1 (even 2) Marvel was something if quality. Now, the characters these phases had established are either (unfairly) dead or completely unrecognisable. I no longer have any sense of anticipation for their new stuff. I don't even want to watch new movies or shows.*
Anyhow, thanks for visiting my askbox. ♥️
*Moon Knight is the only exception, and you'd note the show had no prominent easter eggs or even mentions of other characters from the MCU. Mayhe there's something to be said about that.

*SPOILERS*
So......Jen basically makes K.E.V.I.N. retcon not just the final episode but many storylines in the whole show! Let's break this down, shall we?
No Todd stealing her blood. This was set up since episode 1 when Bruce said that their blood cannot fall into the wrong hands. In fact, the blood plot was the only recurring thing in this entire show and the only thing that kept me invested when everything else felt like pure filler. The whole point was that Todd hated Jen for getting the powers of Hulk which he believed she didn't earn. So wouldn't him stealing her blood so he could get Hulk powers make sense?! Earlier, he said "superpowers should go to the best person for the job". It'd make sense if he thought that HE was the best person for the job, cause that's how his mind works!
I'll admit that Bruce showing up comes out of nowhere, cause he wouldn't know where Jen is and he's been in Sakaar for....weeks? Months? Hell, a year or two?! How long has he been in Sakaar?! Anyway, that's something I do agree should be left out or built up better to lead to him showing up, but the way Jen worded it sounded so egotistical. Like I see it as family saving family, but she sees it as Bruce hogging the spotlight when it could've been a good team-up. I mean, Thor and Jane teamed up and worked well together and neither hogged the spotlight away from each other. It was still Thor's movie. So, why couldn't we do that with both Hulk and She-Hulk? Oh, cause it's Jen's show, that's why.
Jen brushes off K.E.V.I.N.'s reasoning of bring back Bruce, saying that we don't need to hear why Bruce left to space and to save it for the movie. That just could be a hint for a future Planet Hulk/World War Hulk movie, but don't we deserve a little bit or a hint at what he was doing in Sakaar?!
Abomination being accountable for what? Breaking his parole rules? I hope it's that. Or does she believe that he was working for Intelligencia, cause clearly it was all a misunderstanding. He was just trying to help people as a life coach but ends up helping the....wrong people.
Why does it matter that it's daytime instead of nighttime? This is taking place inside a building.
She wants Daredevil so that they can bang....that's the only reason to bring back Matt Murdock. Y'know, I did ship them last week, but now I'm concerned with how this is being rushed. Plus, with Daredevil's show coming to the MCU, I don't know if those two will still be a thing.
Questioning daddy issues with some of the characters. The thing is, not every character has those issues, but the ones that Jen brought up didn't have good dads and they're dead. Jen's lucky though, she has a dad who's alive and loves her.
DON'T BRING UP THE X-MEN! I know we're getting Deadpool 3 featuring Wolverine, but we've seen what the MCU did with three of the X-Men characters. We're fearing what they'll do to the rest at the moment.

Whumpril Day 3- Rope Burns
Written for @whumpril 2023 challenge
Marvel, Loki and Mobius
881 words
Mobius’s team finds the Loki Variant they’ve been hunting. Turns out, Loki’s in worse shape than Mobius could have imagined.
TW: physical abuse, scars, burns
Mobius squinted in the bright fluorescent lights, rubbing exhaustion out of his eyes. He’d been doing back-to-back hunts for this Loki until Ravonna had sternly requested he’d get at least a night’s rest. So, B-15 had taken point on the hunt and managed to bring in the Loki Variant that Mobius was looking for. 
But once Mobius took a quick look through the interrogation room window, he bit back an annoyed groan. “That’s not L1130. That is some other Loki variant in his Jotunn form, half-asleep.” He fought the urge to pinch the bridge of his nose. 
Why did there have to be so many of these Variants?
B-15 tapped the window with the corner of her folder. “Nope, it’s him. He matches the description. But he was on Sakaar and that place wasn’t a threat when we looked into it.”
Mobius met her eye. 
“We couldn’t cuff him because he’s got some pretty bad burns on his wrists,” she continued. “And he hasn’t shifted back to his usual human glamor. We aren’t sure why.”
Mobius took a closer look at the Variant. 
It took a minute to put it together. The Loki he’d studied looked human, and even in photos had this air of…arrogance.
The Loki that sat in that room wasn’t half-asleep, but was half-slumped in the metal chair with his head hanging over the table. Loki’s skin was an awful shade of pale blue; his entire body was sharp angles, and all that could be heard from the room was Loki’s laborious breathing.
His long, black hair hung in knotted, uneven strands, as if someone had tried to cut it after an unsuccessful attempt at brushing it. It was riddled with lint and shone slightly in the light.
His arms sat in front of him, but the shirt he’d been wearing was worn and filled with holes, remnants of what once had been a long sleeve. The shirt was charred in some places and torn in others.
The skin around Loki’s wrists and neck were an angry red against blistered blue.
“What did Medical say?” Mobius asked as his head thumped slightly, trying to fit the pieces together. This was far from what he studied.
B-15 shook her head and frowned. “They're dealing with a breach emergency and are at least twenty minutes out.”
He took in Loki’s form, worry and confusion gnawing at his ribcage. “What’d they do?” Mobius breathed.
B-15 pressed the file towards Mobius. “He was alone there. The entire building was empty.” She paused, looking back at Loki before meeting Mobius’s eyes. “We aren’t sure why they left him there.”
Mobius took the file from her, not taking his eyes off the Loki variant. He sat so still, it was as if he was made from stone. And the way his face didn’t move or twitch, he might as well have been. 
Mobius ran a tired hand down his face. The other thing about studying Loki was the knowledge of how to treat one’s wounds. “Alright, round up our team.” He paced back and forth before nodding. “I’ll need honey, cold aloe vera, and some of 6788’s antibiotic treatment.”
Ten minutes later, Mobius stepped quietly into the interrogation room with a tray of his requested items. He’d interrogated too many Loki’s to count, but this was the first time one looked so…battered. Sure enough, the Loki Variant sat uncuffed at the table. Various burns, scars, and cuts were etched up and down its body but the worst were definitely around his neck and wrists.
What had done that to him?
Who had done that to him?
“Loki?” Mobius began, deciding to start with the Variant’s name.
No response. 
Mobius held out the tray and then placed it carefully on the corner of the table. “Your mother used to make a salve for burns and minor injuries. It won’t be the same exact one, but it’ll be close.”
The Variant’s eyes shifted to Mobius, the dull red looking blankly at him. “M-mother?” Loki rasped. His voice was low and gravelly, and sounded as if he was trying to remember. “Th-Thor?”
“We’re looking for him, too,” Mobius assured. 
Loki only gave a more wheezy breath in response.
Slowly, Mobius took a seat in the empty metal chair opposite the Variant. “Those look pretty bad,” he commented, pointing to the blistered skin. “Can I help?”
For what seemed like minutes, Loki didn’t move. But then, he slowly moved his wrists a fraction of an inch toward Mobius.
Mobius felt something in him break, but he nodded quickly. “The salve’ll be a bit cold, bet me know if it’s too cold.”
Loki responded with the slightest of nods.
Mobius hovered over Loki’s wrist for a second before gently applying the salve to the inflamed skin. Loki seemed to loosen instantly, the hard lines of pain around his eyes seeming to soften. 
Mobius couldn’t remember the last time he worked with such gentleness and care. He worked slowly and by the time he’d finished one wrist, Loki’s labored breathing had also softened into a wheezy, but more even, breath.
When he’d finished with the one, Loki held his other wrist with a bit more assurance. 
“Good to know it works,” Mobius said softly, giving Loki a quick smile before continuing.

Magic Touch
Bruce Banner/Scott Lang for @marvelrarepairbingo2022​
Bruce has been reclusive since returning from Sakaar. Scott cheers him up the only way he knows how: magic tricks. 
Rating & Warnings: Teen for language and brief naked Hulk. Character pretends to throw up some playing cards (three guesses who).
Tumblr media
Scott strolled into the lab with only one goal in mind: to get Bruce Banner to smile.
He’d gotten quite comfortable living in Avengers Tower (though he still stayed at his apartment on weekends and whenever Cassie came over) and was on good terms with everyone there.
When Thor and Bruce returned from their two-year absence, everyone was excited to see them again. Thor was happy to meet Scott, and was fascinated by his shrinking abilities.
Bruce however, was a more elusive creature. He often skipped movie nights and team lunches, usually with some excuse about an experiment that couldn’t be left unattended. Well, he couldn’t avoid Scott’s friendship forever. Not even Nebula had.
Predictably, Bruce was elbow-deep in an experiment when Scott walked in. He froze, frowning with a bottle in his hand. ‘Can I help you?’
Scott faltered for a moment because holy shit he was talking to Bruce Banner. ‘Scott Lang,’ he said, blurting the first thing that came into his head. ‘Well, you knew that already, probably – you’ve been here for like a week now. And you’re Bruce Banner.’
‘Yeah, I know.’ Bruce’s lips twitched, but it was more of a puzzled expression than a smile. ‘Did you need something?’
‘Yeah actually, I do.’ He pulled a deck of cards from his pocket. ‘Could you pick a card for me?’
Read the rest on AO3!

Hi, for the character opinion bingo, how about Brunnhilde?
OH HELL YEAH!!! LETS GOOOOOOOO
Tumblr media Tumblr media
My dude I have not talked about this King in so long and with the release of the Thor Love and Thunder trailer I'm so excited to see her on screen again. I've missed her so much. I almost got a bingo on this card, because I really do like her in a team dynamic, but Brunnhilde is also one of the few characters that I can read for that absolutely does not need any of the other lead characters in the fic. I don't know if I've really talked about how much I love her arc here. I know I've done so in the past- but Brunnhilde and Thor's character arcs are nearly the same. We just didn't get to see her's play out on screen. I mean we sorta did. We know she was the leader of the Valkyries and helping to carry out Odin's conquest, at least thats the impressions I've always gotten from the flashback sequences. But then of course that all goes south and I can only assume she exiles herself until she stumbles into Sakaar, but it takes Thor desperately asking for her help to give her the push to start getting back to herself. She's still not the same person, she probably doesn't even give her real name to Thor, Bruce and Loki (Thats the only reason I can think of that no one adresses her by name after two movies and over 5 years passing since their first meeting), but she's making progress. She steps into this new version of herself, maybe more suspicious and jaded than before, but a leader and probably a compassionate and determined one at that. Dude I think about those five years she spent building New Asgard and watching Thor slip into that depressive state he found her in so much. Their relationship is so important to me and I know its not going to come up in the new movie, but I wish we could see some of that. How important their friendship has been for both of them recovering from their past traumas and overcoming new ones. I trust Taika to give us hints of it, but I still remember how many of the fans seemed to cut her out of the narrative completely when Thor Ragnarok came out. Brunnhilde is a character that I pay close attention to how people critique her, and write her in fanfiction. If the complaint is that she's introduced as the Strong or Angry Black woman stereotype, then absolutely go off, I feel that is a valid criticism, especially because the only way we see her addressed other than by Scrapper 142 is Angry Girl. However, I like to think that she herself has moved away from that, and Professor Hulk calling her that in Endgame speaks more to how out of touch with everyone he is (guy didn't bother to check in on Thor either so like???? but I also don't think the writers thought that through and I am absolutely giving them too much credit). This is quickly going to turn into me getting frustrated with the way friendship is shown with the Avengers so I'm going to move on to the fanfiction and how fans do her dirty. I am INCREDIBLY picky when it comes to Brunnhilde fanfic, and theres a handful that I constantly go back and read- (Go read Better Laté than Never on AO3 I promise you will not be disappointed) but a lot of the ones I find either end up making her seem preditory, or just straight up a bitch and its so exhausting and frustrating to come across. I trust very few people to write Brunnhilde with nuance and accuracy. She's such an interesting character with such an interesting story, and the parallels between her struggles and Thor after Infinity War are so nice and I can literally talk about her for ever. Theres a shot of her in the new trailer fighting the main antagonist and let me just say, I have never felt so much fear for a character than in that moment. I trust Taika, and I know I need to chill, but the last thing I want is for her to get so roughed up she's taken out of the plot and used as motivation for Thor and Jane, or worse killed for their development. I did not mean to ramble this much, I don't even know if any of this makes sense, but I feel like the MCU is just setting her to the side so often, and fans are even worse.
I'm sorry this was so long- but if anyone would like to hear me ramble and rave about other characters feel free to send me some characters for Character Bingo. MCU, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings/Hobbit and Avatar the Last Airbender and Game of Thrones is all fair game
