And yet somehow it's still about comic books and superheroes. Go figure.
Title: When Gods are Heroes
Summary: American Gods/Thor(Movie) AU/Crossover Thingy
Pairing: Asked for Loki/Thor, I almost forgot so it's kind of shoe horned in at the end
Length: Tiny
America is not a land of Gods. It is not kind to them, old or knew. America is, at most, a land of Spirits and a land of Heroes.
Loki helps Odin with his plans, steeped in ritual and tradition. They are, to be quite honest, entertaining. And Loki is nothing if not out for a bit of entertainment.
But Loki is a pragmatic God. Always the one to find solutions to problems that seem insurmountable. A few whispers, years before the New Gods had gained their strength, and Loki's plan is set in motion. He and some others gain power from it, enough to weather the years in much better shape then their brethren.
Of course back when the plan was started he never imagined what course it would take. Offerings in the form of pictures and stories. Alters made of memorabilia and comics kept in mint condition, in costumes recreated painstakingly in every detail.
A movie that brings as much power as a thousand men sacrificed in his name.
Loki smirks at his "brother" in an unknowing crowd of worshipers and when Thor bends his head and claims Loki's mouth in a kiss he soars under the excited spike of power given by their worship.
Title: How It Started
Summary: Tony Stark starts a Prank War with Loki.
Pairing: Tony/Loki
Length: Tiny
Tony Stark is the man who has everything. And if he doesn't have it he can get it.
This means that when he gets you a present it's a damn good present. (The strawberries were a fluke. Plus he totally made up for it later so it doesn't even really count.)
The problem, he's finding, is that his newest boyfriend/girlfriend/when-I-said-riding-t
his-was-not-what-I-had-in-mind-friend has pretty much everything but his fathers true affection. And if Tony new how to get that neither of them would be half as screwed up as they are.
So Tony spends a ridiculous amount of time trying to figure out the perfect gift. He's a genius. It should be easy. What do you get for a God of Mischief? What is the one thing that Loki needs.
The answer comes to him one day while tuning out another lecture on the evil of said boyfriend/girlfriend/godfriend. He knew now what he had to do! What Loki needed, what he really craved, was entertainment!
The Avenger's Mansion on morning of Loki's birthday finds salt in place of sugar, sheets shorted, clothes dusted with itching powder and a letter to Loki in Tony half-hazard scrawl.
Anything you can do I can do better.
Loki smiles crumpling the letter in his hand and the world chills a degree in dread. "No. You can't."
