Title: Simple, Not Easy
Fandom: Thor (2011), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: R to NC-17

Summary: Darcy should have seen it coming. She couldn't hang around the spandex crowd forever and not end up with a great big target painted on her back eventually. She was just surprised it took Loki so long.

Just FYI, I totally went and purchased the MCU on DVD today, having resisted and resisted its lure, just so I can read this properly and with the correct movie!backstory etc for the characters in mind.

(Darcy is the main character in one, right?!)
(That was a joke. Alas.)

Darcy comes from Thor, which is OMG MY FAVOURITE. But Iron Man and The Incredible Hulk are made of awesome, and Chris Evans is AMAZING in Captain America. I want to be Peggy Carter when I grow up.

To get this, you really technically only need Thor. But wtaching all of them in order will totes prime you for The Avengers this summer.

(Sadly, they had to re-cast Bruce Banner. But TIH is SO WORTH IT. Betty is AWESOME.)

I was going to try and catch up pre-Avengers, anyway, but this story just moved my schedule up a little. I was familiar with what happened in an osmosis kind of way, but now I just need to have Darcy in my life. And apparently Betty, yay!

[taraljc]

Seriously, I need to write The Lorelei Signal story someday, where Betty Ross, Pepper Potts, Jane Foster, Darcy Lewis, and Peggy Carter save the world. Because you KNOW they could do it backwards in heels, with 200% less collateral damage than their boys.

Not gonna lie - I spent the past hour and a half refreshing your main journal, debating what the time differences are between us and when it would be 'tomorrow' for you... This story is my new crack and I am so in love. Really, really great stuff!

(And kudos for the "With a Little Help From My Friends" rec -- another fun read.)

Of course, now I also have to go find/watch How to Train Your Dragon, too.

OMG HTTYD IS THE BEST MOVIE EVER! *flappy hands*

I've mostly been updating between midnight and 2am, but tonight am bound and determined to actually get to sleep before 6am. I am a vampire. Not in an awesme Caroline Forbes way. Just in a sad "I work from home and live my life 5 hours off from everyone else" way. I have freelance I need to do, too, but lost about half an hour talking to my dad tonight in the middle of Castle.

I remember when I had to buy a McCloud book for an anime&manga class I took. Darcy and I are a bit on the same wavelength here.
Yay for updates :D Thank you!

[taraljc]

Oh man, now I feel so old. I bought both books when they first came out (and have met Scott and even dined with him several times). But yays!

I am loving this like I love things that I, like, totally love! This fic is, literally, like crack - I whimpered when I saw there were 18 chaps because I was like "yay! 18!" and also "sob! only 18..." at the same time. ^_^

Randomly, this verse makes me want a bracelet to wear - WWLD - what would Loki do? Instead of "love, peace and forgiveness", we can have "crazy emo world domination!"
*evil grin*

SO MUCH CRACK. I haven't committed crackfic in a very very long time, so it was a hell of a ride.

Hurrah the tea!
