The Avengers Movie Verse Fic Recs

May 23, 2012 21:27

So since I saw this movie I've kind of tumbled down into the fan fic rabbit hole and I've started to forget what the sun looks like...but at least it gives me an opportunity to make some recs. As per usual, this is mostly for my own reference but I'm more than happy if others make use of it. Word of warning: I love Loki as certain dark things are to be loved (except not so in secret) and so pretty much every single fic on here has him as part of the main pairing, or as the main character. So if you don't like him (*gasp*), this isn't going to help you much. Also, 98.4% of them are works in progress. I know. I'm not happy either.

But otherwise, enjoy!

Loki/Tony Stark

Debt by Storynerd: Tony Stark shouldn't find Loki fascinating, but he does, because all he’s ever wanted to do is take things apart to see how they work. Besides, he’s never been any good at following the rules. Complete

Off the Record by Hella: It started with a message, a late-night visit, and a God of Mischief in Tony’s bed. A story of trust, trickery, unwilling aid and inevitable attraction. WIP ♥

Desiderata by stereobone: Tony doesn't know anything about love. He's convinced himself it's for the best. Complete.

Good Intentions and (often) Terrible Ideas by knrdgirl: Thor decides that getting his highly intelligent, snarky, albeit lonely sibling together with highly intelligent, snarky, albeit lonely Tony Stark (playboy part can be taken care of with a few good swings, and hey, he is almost like midgardian royalty with all that money) is just what they both need. Even if they seem to think they don’t. WIP

unsure and a hundred by StarkRevelations: He felt like he’d been falling and falling for days, waiting to either hit the ground in a huge mess, or for Loki to appear. And even then, he didn’t know if Loki would catch him, or watch him falling, and laugh, and the fear that someone had that power over him was scary. It’d probably be better if Loki did watch him fall, and if he managed to pick himself up and clean up his own mess. He’d told himself that he wouldn’t care, either way, once he’d given the opportunity, but he knew that what was best and what he wanted were two different things. Complete ♥

Two Sides of the Coin by magical_notes: If asked, Tony Stark would be hard pressed to figure out how Loki Laufeyson ended up in his bed, or how the chaos god continued being there. But he can't deny enjoying it. Complete

Nine Lives by maverikloki: After his fall to Midgard, a weakened Loki is stuck in cat form. He makes the best of it--and a certain Avenger's hospitality. Complete ♥

The Underwater Basket Weaving Society of America by thisiswhatthewatergaveme: Loki's crash landed, which is great. Only what do you do with a powerless, power-hungry ex-god looking for retaliation? WIP ♥

in another country (people die) by pprfaith: “The world is not your playground, Stark!” Fury yells at him one time, after he maybe brings down a building or two and Tony just laughs because, seriously, yes it is. Complete ♥

Spiting the Sun by chigrima: One does not cause mayhem without consequences. Loki takes the plunge and finds himself powerless in an alien and inhospitable part of Midgard. This is only the beginning of his trials and torments. WIP

To Burn the Horizon by CourtJester: Starting at the end of "Iron Man 2" and running slightly AU-ish from there: a (long) look at how things might have been different for Tony if he'd let Pepper walk away at the end of IM2, how the world just seems to hate Tony sometimes, and how Loki figures into the whole picture. Complete

Ilk by sparklyhowitzer: After the battle on Earth, Loki returns home a prisoner. However, when another threatens Odin's realm, it is he who must save Asgard. Badly injured, Loki seeks the aid of the Avengers, while someone else will have the heart of the would-be King. WIP


Loki/Thor (shut up they're not really related)

Kjetter by Beezy: In which an unknown assailant attacks Los Angeles, a wounded god performs an unexpected act, and the Avengers struggle in the aftermath. Complete

Silvertongue by Epiphanyx7: No Asgardian cell can hold him. Loki's magic is bound, but his mind is not -- and the Aesir were always fools, to think that Loki's mind was anything than his most dangerous asset. Complete ♥

Winter and Spring by Sinclair_Spirits: Fill for this Norsekink prompt- Loki as Daenerys and Thor as Drogo. Loki is given to Thor by his brother as a ploy to gain Asgard's army. Much political scheming and conspiracies ensue as Loki finally finds his place in life and in Thor's heart. WIP ♥

Big in Japan by gunboots: Steve hesitantly reaches out and takes the object in Tony’s arms to survey it. It, being an almost frighteningly accurately illustrated pillow of Loki, their on-and-off again nemesis. "I don't--how did you even get this? Who would MAKE this?"

Clearly Steve doesn't find the attention-to-detail on Loki's costume as hilarious as Tony does, which whatever. Like he said. Killjoy. Complete ♥

a history of things unsaid by circa1220bce: The Kings and Princes of Jötunheimr gain immortality and a ruthlessness unmatched by any other by having their hearts consigned to the Casket of Ancient Winters. Odin, thanks to the Well of Mímir, knew such a ceremony would leave the Casket vulnerable for the taking. Odin brought the forces of Asgard to Jötunheimr on the day Loki's heart was to be sealed away, disrupting the ceremony half way through. When Loki learns that he has only ever lived with half of a heart, he sets to finish what was begun. But events don't proceed quite as he plans...Complete ♥

Brilliance by mirai_gohan: In which Loki isn't the only person jealous of his brother. Complete

nobody can see in our hollow tree by mwildsides: AU Thor and Sif are unhappily married. One night, on a business trip to New Mexico, Thor meets Loki and can’t help but feel an attraction he hasn’t felt towards anyone in years. Complete

The Hangman's Hands by Mercurie: Thor and Loki never make it back to Asgard. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. is stuck with the world's most hated war criminal on their hands and everyone wants a piece - unless they can find a way to get rid of him for good. WIP

Postbellum by Shiny_n_new: While Loki is imprisoned for his attempt at taking over Earth, he discovers Thor is sneaking off to Jotunheim. WIP

Mirror, Mirror by jane_potter: AU Thor, they called him in voices edging on sneers, as he neared his first millennium, god of empty thunder. God of meaningless noise, god only of men who cower like children at storms. Complete

Dáinsleif by riventhorn: Loki has a well-crafted plan to win the powerful sword Dáinsleif. Thor just wants to kill a dragon. Then they encounter a bunch of lustful elves and things suddenly become much more complicated. Set before the events of Thor. Complete ♥

Unforseen Side Effects by Fickle_Obsessions: In a quick effort to make Loki docile, the Tony Stark releases an experimental drug that only effects Asgardians. It gets Thor too, but hey, he had no choice. It works a little too well. Loki goes from trying to destroy the world to braiding Thor's hair as well as other things. Steve helpfully sticks around and clutches his pearls while Tony waits for the drug to wear off. Complete ♥

The One Where Sex Ruins Loki's Life by phalangical: Jotuns mate for life with the first person they take to bed. Loki really, really, really wishes he would've known that ahead of time. WIP ♥

magic, lost and found by circa1220bce: Magic is for children and cruel, cowardly adults. This is what Thor and all Asgardians are taught and know is true. WIP ♥

Whipping Boy by Moiraine: Odin must find a way to teach Thor humility, and he must find a way to teach Loki to be more than his brother’s shadow. The solution that comes to Odin is both fitting and terrible. He will make Loki Thor’s whipping boy. WIP ♥

Don't Leave Me This Way by glayish: He wished he could use Mjölnir as a blacksmith would, hammer himself out until he was shining and straight. Thor discovers he is gay as he grows up but guiltily hides it until he falls for his brother. WIP

Intervention by Asidian: The man shouldn't have been alive, much less moving, and yet he was- was thrashing weakly in his bonds, turning his head as far as it would go to avoid the white liquid as it dribbled down. It was not far enough.

Tony thought he was going to be sick again. WIP

Vikings Weren't Into Metal by hannibalisms: Thor finds Loki in a wholly unexpected place. Complete

Loki/Steve

Transient Here Below by MonstrousRegiment: In a small little café lost in an anonymous corner in Paris, Loki sits to a little table, tea-cup at his side and old leather-bound novel spread open in his long-fingered, musician’s hands.

Loki/Clint (Loki & Clint)

I've Suffered Shipwrecks by paperclipbitch: AU. Most people, when they break up, sort through their record collections, possibly chuck each other’s clothes onto the sidewalk, engage in soul-destroying coffee dates where they try to sort through the emotional debris, and then leave each other the fuck alone.Clint and Natasha were never very good at acting like normal people, though, which is why they run a cafe together. Complete ♥

Steve/Thor

High Voltage by AccursedSpatula: Callused fingertips brushed the back of his hand and he looked up at Thor. He hadn’t even heard or felt him slide over so that they were next to each other. “I do not want to be a secret, not something dark and wrong to be afraid of,” Thor said slowly. “I have never wanted to do something I am ashamed of. But if this were merely something private, just between us, just for us...that I could live with.” WIP ♥

i just need (someone to be there for) by Trojie: Leading means a lot of things, like listening, and adapting and sometimes not getting mad when you want to. Mostly it means helping, though. What Steve forgets is that that can cut both ways. Complete

There May Be Better Brothers (But You Are the Only One That's Mine) by Lise: Loki believed that at its most simplistic, there were two choices in any given situation: the smart choice, and the Thor choice.

But at some point along the way everyone had gotten into the habit of talking about it as if Thor was the only one who could so much as budge the thing, like it was Excalibur or something, and it had apparently turned into a sort of running joke.
