[FIC - The Avengers] Every Judas Loved His Jesus
Fandom: The Avengers (movieverse)
Title: Every Judas Loved His Jesus
Author: croik
Artist: made_of_tin
Rating: NC-17 for sex and violence
Word Count: 130,000
Type: AU (romance, action, angst)
Characters/Pairings: Loki/Steve, most of the Avengers and then some
Warnings: Dub/non-con, mpreg, genderswap, child endangerment, character death (Justin Hammer and some OCs)
Summary:
This is not a story of how Loki and Steve fall in love. This is Loki and Steve, abandoned in a world they didn't ask for, alone, with nothing to connect them to any thing or person on the planet except for the one thing they have in common: Loki's blood, a Jotun's blood, that once served as the basis for Dr. Erskine's miraculous super-soldier serum and protected Steve through seventy years of ice. This is Loki, hiding his weakness and uncertainty with every lie at his disposal, desperate for purpose, and Steve, just naive enough to fall for the smile of a beautiful woman. It's not love, but it's a lie worth fighting for, up until Loki ends up pregnant, devastates SHIELD headquarters, and makes off with the Tesseract, determined to make his child Midgard's new god. As the tentative captain of Earth's not-yet-mighty Avengers, Steve choses the side of humanity, without giving up hope that he can save Loki from himself and the too-powerful magic of Odin's lost treasure.

Notes: Many thanks to my artists, made_of_tin for their stunning artwork! I love it so much, make sure you give them feedback <3 Thanks also to my betas tanithkitty and eustacia_vye28 for sticking with me through this fic.
Since this was for The Avengers Big Bang Challenge (avengers_bang) I wrote the entire thing before seeing the movie, so I had to invent a whole lot of details concerning how SHIELD operates, what the Tesseract is capable of, etc, which have been totally Jossed. BUT that's what AU is for. I hope you can overlook my fudging and enjoy the fic! All comments welcome and appreciated.
