These are some of the Tony Stark bingo fills that have already been posted! Some stipulations:

I mostly read sub 5k (and usually sub 4k if I'm honest) fics
I mostly avoid any and all angst these days for mental health
typically don't read much explicit fic these days
Stony is a hard no
as is Strange/Stark
honestly i have a surprising number of eeehhh for tony ships
if your fic isn't on this list, it's not because i hated it or whatever, these are just the fics that i had time to read and enjoyed and want to share!!!

Those out of the way, here's the ones I had time to read!!!

Cheesy Pick Up Lines by https://archiveofourown.org/users/tisfan/pseuds/tisfan - 865 words - Tony/Bucky preship, Modern fluff, Meet Cute -- Oh my goooodddd this is soooooo cute. I love the food truck puns, and Peter is cute and sassy and good. I also love Tony's running thoughts in this one, and feel like it really captures his voice!!

Performance Issues by tuesday - 1776 words - Peter Parker/Tony Stark - 5+1, Crack, Fluff, Sex Pollen (but no sex while under influence of said sex pollen), age gap, mature rating -- This is a fun bit of crack, and does a great job running with the concept of the universe wanting these two to bone but both of them finding ways to avoid it. Mind the tags, the warnings are at the bottom of the fic in an A/N instead of at the top, and otherwise have fun with this silly little romp through space.

Can't Cake my Eyes off You by mistrstank - 1759 words - Bucky Barnes/Tony Stark - Celebrity AU, baking fluff -- Tony is sooooooo hilariously clueless to how Bucky feels about him in this, and Bucky is going absolutely mad trying to get Tony to understand how much he cares about him. Bucky's also a youtube baker, and that on its own is pretty great. I love the little winks at canon--Bucky having been in a war, Tony's space fixation--while being its own self-contained little fluffverse.

(We are the ones)For Now by sleepoverwork - 1019 words - Pepper Potts/Tony Stark OR Pepper Potts & Tony Stark - nebulously canon adjacent, fluff, Pepper Potts is HBIC -- This is such such such a good Pepper Potts POV character study, and I wish we had more like this! It's so good, and we get a glimpse into just how much Pepper controls her surroundings. I also loved how it's so clear Tony thinks the moon and stars of Pepper even though it's not from his POV.

That's all for now!! I'll try and do another round up of these as more come up! There are, of course, more fics at the bingo's collection [here on ao3] and a lot of people putting forth great work, so definitely give it a read and see if you find something new you'll enjoy!!!

ETA: for like 2 seconds I had a link pointing to the wrong collection, it's been fixed!!

It's time for another Bingo card! I'm a lot happier with the one I got for this go round, and I have some excellent squares I can't wait to fill! I'm going to be trying to do mostly comedic writing for this, because it's an area of fiction writing I'd like to work on, and also because it's just dang fun to write. Anyway, without further ado, here's my first fill!!

Tony Stark does not typically, under usual circumstances, go to weddings. They're just not his scene; he just isn't the biggest fan of all the hustle and bustle, and then there's the travel, because he's moved out to California but almost everyone else is still back on the East Coast, and furthermore, weddings are just. A bit excessive.

(It has zero to do with being jealous, or the bittersweet reminder of the almost-wedding with Pepper, or anything else, and he'd appreciate if no one acted sympathetic about it, thanks.)

But. Well.

Here he is, on a plane, going to a wedding, and he's still not entirely sure why.

(Except he totally, absolutely knows.)

Don't feel like writing, do wanna get some fandom related stuff done before lunch, so let's do some little fic recs!!!

Night Time is For Sleeping (In Theory) by STARSdidathing - Loki/Tony Stark, 2034 words, modern day au -- Super cute little fic where Loki works graveyard shift at 24-hour convenience store and Tony is the project-obsessed insomniac we all know and love who shows up to buy redbull (and flirt). Quick, cute, and has some really resonant moments.

in that bright land to which I go by 100 indecisions - Loki & Frigga, 3503 words, post Infinity War 1/Loki's dead -- A very soft little character study of Loki and Frigga's relationship and Loki's history within the MCU through his particular lens. Very soft, very gentle, better justice than we got with that train wreck burning garbage can that was Infinity War.

Borderline Genius by Catchclaw - Loki & Thor, 970 words, Modern Day Office AU - Everyone at work thinks Loki is fucking his best friend Thor, and there's a betting pool. Loki is a bit dense about why they'd think that. It's super cute and very funny.

Pictures of You by NCSP -- Loki/Tony Stark, 1436 words, Avengers family post-accords -- A really fluffy fun post-accords but not destroyed Avengers family/tower fic. Loki as vain and preening and aloof.

From this post on tumblr:

thelightofthingshopedfor asked: That hero/villain post you just reblogged made me think--have you ever written something where Steve's in trouble and he goes to Loki for help, basically a reverse of the original RTC setup? I know you've written Loki observing Steve and sometimes stepping in to help, but I'm not sure if you've written anything with Steve (or any card-carrying Good Guy, really) being in enough trouble to decide Loki's the better alternative.

veliseraptor:

oh man I really want to write this and/or for this to exist and I just need someone to help me figure out how to make it exist, because yeah, Steve for some reason thinking to go to Loki for help would be such a Thing and I’m into this idea a lot

consider this either a) request for ideas or b) free prompt to good home

post-avengers 1 diverge

Steve knows precious little about magic.

(If he's honest, he's not even sure he believes in magic, that what Thor and his brother do is magic, but he doesn't want to say it's not either, because--because... well.

There were just aliens all over New York, and Thor's from an entirely different planet, so maybe.

He can't say there's not magic, that's for sure.)

Was talking to foxachu [tumblr][ao3] this morning, and she sent over this prompt:

“we’ve been sleeping together on and off for almost a year and i know it’s angry hate sex but i got you a little gift because it reminded me of you”.

Of course I gotta write it. How could I not? Established relationship, obviously, let's go. Two Loki's, one of whom is named Luke for ease of reading.

If asked to count all of the ways that he hates Luke, Loki is fairly certain he could fill at least a six part book series, and each book would be a minimum of one hundred thousand words each. In all the time that he lived, he has never once known someone that he hates as much as he hates the fellow botanist on staff.

The nice thing about working for big ag is that he almost never runs into him in the office. Both of them are more often in the field.

you’re famous and you want to hide out in my bookstore which is fine except the stupid paparazzi won’t leave and now there’s a photo of us in the tabloids and they’re printing misinformation and why the fuck won’t you clear this up on your twitter account - Meet Ugly #71

It is a quiet day.

If Loki's honest, nearly every day at work is a quiet day for him--spent filling online orders and carefully mailing off the books, the ticking of the clock interrupted rarely by the ringing of the phone, and even more rarely by the front bell ringing.

LaFey's Rare Books has never been the most happening of bookstores, and Loki wouldn't have it any other way. Surrounded mostly by banks and offices, on a very quiet street, the only people who arrive usually know exactly what they're looking for.

Which is why the current customer is a problem.

"Sir," Loki says, attempting to keep his annoyance out of his voice.

Not feeling any of the meet uglies, the vague melancholy Steve Rogers is Sad(tm) fic isn't really working out, and don't feel like working on the novel rewrite, so here's some prompts:

1. One of the few 'joys' of working the skate rental booth over winter break has and will always be watching the adults try and fail to teach children how to skate. Perhaps he's mean spirited, but Loki never quite manages it for this years cute new instructor--a scrawny guy with blond hair and blue eyes and a smile that is as disgustingly sincere as it is wide.

2. Loki is perfectly capable of getting his christmas tree on top of his car thank you, and he doesn't need some tall blond and stupid stranger's help.

3. Steve's been working at the coffee shop for a while now, and he doesn't mean to snoop, but he can't help hearing one of the regulars on the phone and a declaration they're not going home for Christmas, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

4. Steve's new neighbor has been hiding inside since they moved next door, but after the snowstorm, they can't hide forever. There's snow piled high on a sidewalk that needs clearing; Steve's happy to help, but first he needs to see if said neighbor is even alive. He wades through the mid-shin high snow to the front door and knocks.

5. Steve doesn't usually work the late night shift at the grocery, but since he lives in walking distance and there's a blizzard en route, he volunteers to take someone else's shift. Unfortunately, that means he's also working with the grumpiest and most sour stocker he's ever had to work with; it's not his fault there's a storm, so maybe Loki shouldn't act like it is when they both get snowed in.

All of these are smaller, sweet little things you can potato chip snack on for an afternoon/evening, because right now I break out in hives at the thought of reading anything longer than 5k.

Smoke Signals by schroedingersfox -- 730 words -- A little slice of a magic AU, pre-relationship. Come for great and tiny little world-building details, stay for Loki's clearly fumbled text.

Midnight Misdial by schroedingersfox -- 740 words -- Human au, pre-relationshi; Loki accidentally misdials Tony's number after a nightmare, and Tony both picks up and doesn't hang up. I love this one for the hints of how they'll fit together in the future and the humour--fox has a lovely sly humour that seeps into her work, and this one is no exception.

My Ray of Sunshine by jyuukyuu -- 460 words -- domestic fluff; A very lovely and warm little ficlet. Tony's laying in bed, waiting for Loki to wake up.

Witness the (Not) Heroes by Of_Lights_And_Shadows -- 310 words -- AU, depowered Loki, meet ugly, Tony still got a suit; This is a great little meet ugly, where Loki witnesses Tony commit a murder, and then gets spotted. Short and sweet and got a good chuckle from me.

Special Gifts by STARSdidathing -- 2930 words -- Avengers family, courtship rituals, holiday fic -- Oh my GOD this fic made me squeal, I love a good courtship fic so much, and Tony's hapless cluelessness *kisses fingers* perfect

To Learn To Dance by anonymousstoryperson -- 1400 words -- AU: no powers, royalty (kind of princess diaries vibe), ballroom dancing -- A super cute and funny fic where Tony's being taught how to ballroom dance, but keeps being distracted by his very attractive, no nonsense teacher.

That's it for today, hope you find one in here you like!

gaslightgallows wrote this in response to my comment on their title meme:

It’s one of the few things Steve still has that no one can touch: the simple taste of citrus fruit, gone from Depression-era rarity to dizzingly common. And it’s one of the things he’s hesitant to share. But for one broken Asgardian prince, back from the dead one too many times to ever be quite whole again, he might consider making an exception.

And frankly, I couldn't resist, so here we are. [crosspost to AO3]:

It's cold, on the roof of the compound, and the forest all around them is dark and towering. Steve shuts the door to the roof behind him quietly, steps further out so he can see a bit better by the moonlight, then pauses.

There's someone else here.

It takes a very long few seconds for him to relax; he's been so keyed up since... everything, and as much as he appreciates the chance to relax out in the middle of nowhere, there's just--

They spent a long time running, once Thanos was dead.

"I know you're there," a rough and low voice says, and finally Steve knows who it is--Loki.

"I didn't know anyone else was up here," Steve says in reply, approaching cautiously. He's still not entirely sure what to make of Loki--Thor had said Thanos strangled him, and Steve believes that, and he believes Thor never thought to see Loki again. He didn't see Thor's face when Loki showed back up, skin tinged with the faintest orange glow; he was too busy staring at Bucky, somehow alive and whole, too busy with his own world. It wasn't until after that Steve... that any of them realized Loki was there.

Sometimes, just barely, Steve's seen the faintest flicker of orange at Loki's joints, a gleam in his eyes.

"Mm," is all Loki says in reply as Steve joins him at the edge of the roof. Steve leans against the thick ledge that Loki's sitting on.

He's seemed... different, from what Steve remembers. What any of them remember. But then, that was years and several disasters ago. In the silvery moonlight, he's all contrasts.

Steve doesn't comment how the light seems a lot warmer than it should where it touches Loki's skin.

"Can't sleep?" Steve asks.

"I am not up here to make conversation," Loki says, only his eyes sliding to view Steve askance, the slightest dip at the corner of his mouth.

"Alright." Steve looks away from Loki, looks out across the forest that swallows up the light, then up at the stars and sky. Steve's glad they aren't up there, that they're finally back on Earth, that things are finally starting to mend. It doesn't change how his stomach twists all the same staring up at the firmament.

They don't talk, and Loki doesn't look at Steve again. He just sits, a shadow in the periphery of Steve's vision. Eventually, Steve can feel the thoughts that propelled him up to the roof settle, the promise of sleep creeping into his bones, the lids of his eyes.

"Good night," Steve tells Loki.

Loki hums, a low and warm sound, but he does not turn from where he stares out across the forest.

If Steve's honest, he didn't expect him to.

This one takes place in the same universe as this fic here, and while you don't need to read that one to understand this one, I still recommend it anyway because it's very good.

58. I’m a demon, you’re a witch, we’re enemies but when I show up to kill you, you’re crying and I really don’t know what to do now -Meet ugly #58

There is actually nothing that Jajjung hates more than being summoned during the middle of a season finale. One minute he's leaned forward, watching Bez't'ial the Five Hundred Furies attempt to break up with their four member polymorphous relationship quadrilateral, the next, there is that awful stomachs-wrenching twist as he's yanked bodily across dimensions, blinking in material plane lighting and trying to maintain some sort of dignity on his four legs while he gets his bearings again.

It has been a long time, even for a demon, since Jajjung has last been summoned to the material plane, but he still hasn't forgotten how it makes all three of his stomachs want to hurl.

This one is part of my Christmas gift to a good friend, using Loki's from two different universes--one Loki, the other John.

Merry christmas fox!!

13. we make contact before trying to steal the last seat on the subway/bus/train and I end up in your lap and fuck you, I’m going to stay here because I’ve had a really long day and this seat was mine - from this list of Meet Ugly prompts

It has been a very, very long day. First snow delaying all the trains, then being late for his first part time job, said snow and ice making him miss lunch to avoid being late for his second job, the customers (gods, the customers, there is nothing he loathes more than the customers at the holidays), and then, some well-dressed man in a suit who has just cut in front of him while he waits for the train home.

Will I do a ton of these? Who knows!! But I've got a fair bit of spare time at the moment thanks to regular classes ending, and want to squeeze in a little more writing before 2018 calls it quits. So let's go!!!!

01. we were set up on a blind date but it went horribly, so now you message me every time you have a good date because you think your tips will help me in the future, you ass

- from this list of meet ugly prompts

Steve is well-versed in having things go wrong. He's well-versed in embarrassment, well-versed in disappointment, in things just deciding to go sideways for no discernible reason (and sometimes do so for discernible ones). A lot of people forget that he was a scrawny runt of a kid, and didn't really hit his growth spurt until he was almost twenty-five (at least, the people who met him later in life; Bucky sure as hell as never let him live it down), but Steve knows, on an intimate level, just what it's like to be embarrassed.

And yet, and still, it feels like none of it prepared him for this.

So here's a tip from the newest date: don't spill the wine all over the table. He very much did not spill any wine on the table, and lo, we had a good date.

Steve got the text last night; he's left it on read since then, because part of him doesn't want to dignify it with a response. But the other part of him, the part that would yell at bullies, the the part that's some scrappy kid who just can't shut up, absolutely wants to give Loki a piece of his mind; eventually, that's the part that wins out.

I don't know how I could have predicted the waiter was going to bump into the table while I was pouring the wine, Steve shoots back, and then he pockets his phone, grabs his gym bag, and heads out for the gym.

He knows he shouldn't respond; that Loki's just trolling, but he can't help it.

It's not his fault their blind date was a disaster.

Thirty Pieces of Silver

This is possibly the weakest of the lot, which you should still take as a strong recommendation. I felt like it managed to set up why Thor would consider Tony his beloved the least of all of them, but again--it's still fucking excellent reading.

(I think I was just spoilt on the buildup in the others, while this focused on a much tamer getting to know each other)

This is a Thor 1 rewrite, and I do mean a rewrite. It doesn't go the same way as the movie; I rather liked that. Thor's been hanging around as a soldier of fortune type for quite some time, and it's quite a good read.

Tony's attraction to Thor, is, as ever, written so spot on it aches. Or maybe that's just me because when Hemsworth Thor smiles I want to claw my own face off.

The Eternity Edda

Two part series that runs pre-Thor 1 through to the Avengers. It's another rewrite, though not quite in the same vein as 30 pieces of silver. In this one, Tony is actually an ex-weaponsmith and Asgardian; it's quite delightful.

It hits all my age kink related buttons, since Tony's written as being older than Loki and Thor, but not in a creepy way. There's all kinds of things that go on, and I thought that manic_intent did an excellent job of writing how Tony's presence made things different while at the same time adjusting for the canon so it could still all go down.

One of the best things about this for me is that everyone still has their voice; this is particularly critical for Tony, since he's the one getting the biggest shit character-wise. All the cores are very much preserved. This was one of my faves for establishing Tony and Thor's relationship (though not my favourite).

Electric Storm

This one wasn't my favourite but it's the one that's got in my head and stuck with me the longest. Tony basically steps in as a young Storm here, and gets paired up with Thor. This one has so many ideas that I want to just sick and pick apart and nod to in my own work.

The just raw power that Tony and Thor wield in this is so good, and I just adore the way that it gets talked about. Fenrir is fucking phenoemanl. I love the way the prophecy/future was laid out and the way that it gets handled. I love how you can pick up on Thor's attraction to Tony, and I love that Thor's clever enough to hide some stuff from Tony. I love how Tony's written--both him as younger and him after he's gotten older.

Just fuck. This is phenomenal work here.

When in Midgard

This is my favourite. The build-up between Tony and Thor, the way that Tony realizes he has feelings for Thor, the way that Thor has them for Tony. Thor's cleverness. Just all of it. The last fic in the series is where all of this really comes to a head (hah. hahaha. head) and shines, and you really want to read that one if you read none of the others. Manic)intent has a fucking amazing ability to do the world-building stuff, and it shows.

Yeah. This was the series that made want to do all of these as part of a live read. Tony dealing with alien tech, Odin being a crafty bastard, the way that Thor and Tony interact with each other... just all of it. All of it.

No one writes Thor like manic_intent does, not for me.

frozen on a circuit (no grounds against lightning)

Apparently this is part of a series now? who knew! That said, this review is just for this fic.

Which goddamn. I love the way that this ship gets written--I love Tony's raw, animalistic physical attraction to Thor, the way that there's always this edge of desperation to it.

I love the way that Tony weaves in and out of all these things, the way that we see him trying to assess and figure out how to get in Thor's bed (or Thor's in his). I like that it doesn't just pretend Jane doesn't exist.

Also this:

He starts thinking that maybe Thor actually enjoys Tony’s antagonistic, sarcastic brand of humour, that maybe Tony’s quips are endearing instead of this constant knife wound to Thor’s side, reminding him all too well of his asshole brother’s caustic wit.

I wish more fics picked up on this; frostiron fics are so ready to point out all the ways that Tony and Loki are the same and push that hardcore, but so few of them (and so few fics in general in this fandom, let's be real) take that to the conclusion that Tony's going to be a constant reminder (at least in behaviour) for Thor of Loki.

Pepper's a gem in this--actually, all the characters that show up are. But I particularly love how Pepper was written, so she gets a special mention.

The build up to Thor and Tony actually being a think is fantastic, and this is still one of my favourite fics for it. This was the fic that sold me on Thor/Tony, and rereading it now, it's not hard to see why.

The second fic in the series is all smut that follows, so definitely give that a read too if that's you're cup of tea.

In-Between Places

This one is a threesome. Thor decides to invite Tony to be a mediator between him and Loki. Tony agrees without any idea what that actually means.

Delicious and somewhat hilarious pwp, with a good dose of bro-angst for those that like that. Tony's POV for the whole thing, and boy is it a good one. You get a lot of the fabulous contrast between Loki and Thor filtered through him, and I really loved the premise of this.

catsbythegreat replied to your post: LET ME LIVE ON COFFEESHOP AUS AND ANGST FOR THE...

You should totally recommend some of these coffeeshop angsty au’s.

I mean coffee shop aus AND angst, not necessarily angsy coffeeshop aus. Though some have angst?

ANYWAY.

Consider this post fel's recs of really good AUs.

Paper Monsters - is X-men first class and erik and charles and so great and so trainwreck in the making and it makes me remember all my favourite things about a good coffee shop au.

I've Suffered Shipwrecks - Avengers, Clint and Loki, aka, the one coffeeshop au to rule them all. This is actually everything I want in a coffee shop AU: the perfect length, just enough angst to tinge the edges, crack and fluff and joy. I LOVE THIS GO READ THIS.

Mistakes and Accidents - Loki and Thor as fraternal twins; depression and dealing with. It's Thorki, and one of those that I approve how it was handled and actually seems to follow through and make sense. This one is very near and dear to me, because jfc but I've been there Loki.

To Ruin a Strong Tower with the Light of the Sun - IS NOT AN AU but IS very very good. It does a lot with the time surrounding the movies that isn't explored, also it was a gift for a prompt I submitted, and look, it fits the angst bit so so so well. ANGST. Here go read angst. This is angst and delicious.

The Mind Has Mazes - the Minotaur/Labyrinth myth with Tony and Bruce. What's not to love? It's fabulous.

Darkness, Flood in Light - a fix it fic, divergence from the end of Thor. Heart-breaking and beautiful and up-lifting all in one fell swoop. Bad things happened to children in the past, so give a miss if that's a deal breaker.

A Failing in Diplomacy - Jotun!Loki au, with him as a diplomat. Lovely.

elioenai - AVENGERS GOLDEN COMPASS CROSSOVER AND IF THAT DOESN'T GET YOU TO GO READ IT THERE IS NO HOPE FOR YOU

Paintbox - Loki is Steve's agent. Steve is an artist. Steve asks Loki to paint on him. Lovely.

Amateur Theatrics - is NOT an AU but it IS good. Clint and kid Loki feels EVERYWHERE

Unlocking - nother NOT an AU but omfg angst everywhere character death everywhere yessssssss

Can't Go Back the Way You Came - canon divergence--Loki falls to Midgard, and another way to explore that

That You Have But Slumbered Here - ANGST AND AU IN ONE. eeeeeeeeeee. Warhorse in my Thor, yes please.

Cryptonomicon in Practical Application (In Pursuit of a Decreased Variable 'S') - aka the au that inspired Fractals. Not angst--it's hilarious and wonderful and in love. ww2 era with Loki as a defector and Tony trying to crack the codes the Germans use

Das Ende der Welt; das Ende Unserer Welt - ANGST and AU, detective Stark and SHIELD and tracking down a murderer and one long intense joyride of angst and horror yessssssssssssssssssssssss

(and very last and very quietly, my first FrostIron fic is a diner-au (diner's are kind of like coffee shops right) which I should wholesale rewrite but haven't and I'm still a little fond of, right here )

Assorted fics I very much liked, Avengers list. This is cleaned up and updated; the original rec list is still AVAILABLE if there’s something you can’t find.

To Me My ABSOLUTE favourite Steve/Loki fic. This is the one that inspired June 21st, and I still adore it even if it’s a fucking gut punch every time. This is one of three fics that has actually made me whimper and sniffle and pretend I’m not crying.

Transient Here Below More Steve & Loki antics, with a lovely Paris backdrop. This right here is one of the reasons I ship these two so much–the dialogue in this is top notch, as is their interactions.

All the stars were crashing ‘round Fairy-tale AU with Steve has a war vet and Loki as a fairy prince. Delightful and sweet and air and lovely, and I am a sucker for fairytales already. Sweet sweet sweet.

Unlocking Lots of character death, as a warning. This is so end of the world and delightful. It captures that crazy long-plot Loki-villain that I adore so much, and all the characters are written top-notch for the high-stress situation that they are in. This is without a doubt one of my FAVOURITE fics.

you would be half mad to dream me up Trigger warning: mental illnesses; This fic hits me in the gut. It’s still in-progress but every time it updates I cry. Or come close. It’s an AU verse where Tony is bipolar and Loki anorexic and the interactions and everything is beautiful, and this doesn’t piss me off because it doesn’t actually glamorize the hell that is a mental ward.INCOMPLETE

That You Have But Slumbered Here Loki falls off the Bifrost and into the body of one Luke Lefferson–and forgets who he is. Very beautiful and soft and bittersweet.

You Feed Me From Your Hand A Clint/Loki, and one that doesn’t actually go around the issue of Loki being in Clint’s head, doesn’t make Clint into a wishy-washy sap, and doesn’t compromise Loki either. It’s such a delicate balance and it’s done beautifully. It also doesn’t creep me the fuck out like most Clint/Loki I’ve seen woop!

Cryptonomicon in Practical Application (In Pursuit of a Decreased Variable ’S’) This is hilarious and sweet and full of lovely math. WW2 AU where Loki is a Nazi defector and Tony is working with the Allies cracking codes. This thing is just chock full of beautiful metaphors and some of my favourite lines in any story. Could read it all day.

The Blade for the Honey Dreamy and slipping and sliding and just glorious. I could drink this down forever. Loki remembers all his past and future lives at the same time, and how Steve fits into that. Just. Yes

Of Magic and Nuclear Bombs (neither of which are the answer to anything) Series. The only MPREG I’ve ever actually liked. That should be enough, I think.

The Evaluation Process Tony dies. Jarvis copes. Beautiful beautiful beautiful

The Several Heirs of Loki Odinson, Prince of the Realm of Asgard It starts off light-hearted enough, but that’s how it gets you. What happens when Loki’s children are really just an elaborate prank, and when that prank gets a little too close

Can’t Go Back the Same Way You Came An AU look at Loki if he fell to Midgard instead of the Chitauri. Very slowly developing and very good; it feels like a very good extension of the mental place Loki was by the time Thor(2012) ended and where that goes.

Seriously By Ordis, this one is sharply funny and makes me laugh and wish that it’s actually what happened. What if the Avengers was just a great big field test?

Of Science Bros and Anger Management Fucking delightful. A really well-done glimpse into Fury’s head and how his life must be absolute hell. I 100% approve of this; it’s funny in just the right ways.

The Calculator part of series, though I haven’t read those and can’t vet for them. Loki’s magic ends up powering a computer that wants to steal the rest from him. Some poignant bro!feels, lots of humour. It’s got a lovely sort of Pratchett feel to it

Paintbox AU. No idea how I missed this for so long, but a deliciously done Steve x Loki fic. Loki is Steve’s publicist and Steve is an artist. Steve asks Loki to let him paint him–meaning on him. Loki is all half-truths and deliciously hard to read, Steve is totally full out in lust with his muse, and the entire thing is beautifully done.

Amateur Theatrics I want you to go read this. Right the fuck now. This one is marvelous, marvelous marvelous. It’s funny, it’s got a few dark edges in it, and kid Loki. Kid Loki is honestly the best thing: he’s so earnest and tries so very hard. Then the plot comes along and you see ‘oh wait shit’ and yeah. I reread this whenever I’m in a bad mood, because it’s both that good and makes me feel that much better once it ends. So yes. I recommend this one a million times over.

Midnight Train Steve takes a trip on a train because he would like to try it. Loki shows up. This is absolutely lovely, a beautiful little discussion back and forth, and I think Loki here is very well done. Conniving, scheming, and just the right amount of broken just beneath the surface. Go reeeeaaaad. It’s a fantastic Loki x Steve (and I’m not saying that just because I beta’d it either. I wouldn’t rec it if I didn’t love it.)

elionai Series. Read both the stories. They are fantastic. Just fantastic. This blend of the His Dark Materials with the Avengers in the best way possible. I definitely shrieked when I saw the crossover, but then the entire fic just blows the entire concept out of the water. This is FANTASTIC. Why are you still reading this, GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW.

The potential you’ll be (that you’ll never see) Oh, look. This is how FrostIron should be–broken, knowing it won’t work, and all dark edges. Mmm. Utterly tragic and no less delicious

Darkness, Flooded in Light A delightful take on the idea of Loki falling to Midgard instead of through to the Chitauri, with all the things that entails. Lots of ties to mythology and what is and isn’t so, lots of Loki feels, some wonderful thoughts to follow through. I quite enjoyed it.

Godchild This one is done and that’s literally been the only thing holding me back. Thor is turned into a child, evil villain Loki stumbles upon him and takes him. Growth and evolution of a relationship, some wonderful parenting/sibling feels handled in a way I enjoy

A Failing in Diplomacy Jotun-Loki! A happy Jotun-Loki who goes off on a diplomatic mission to Asgard to see about establishing trade relations and is thoroughly unimpressed. Asgard is full of misinformation and really racist jerk views, and I love the handling of this.

I sat alone and waited out the night This is a Frigga I can get behind. This is a Frigga I can appreciate, who doesn’t make me furious with her words about how Odin always has a plan. That’s saying something.

The Last Love Song of Anthony E. Stark Amnesia-fic. Tony starts to lose his memory after getting an Asgardian virus. Muninn is involved, we naturally get some really dark-edged Loki, and this is actually the only Steve x Tony I’ve ever been able to stand–partly because it’s really not in your face about the whole mess. This fic is amazing and where I started puttering the idea for Muninn around.

we may be better strangers Loki through the eyes of Freya. Freya’s experiences in Asgard as a goddess of fertility. This thing aches and is beautiful and ends at just the right spot, leaving you aching for more and already knowing what’s coming.

Love is for Children and Other Lies An in-depth look at Natasha’s history all the way through to the Avengers and a little past. Long, but well-worth it. Just a pure delight to read

Learning to Fly Loki’s punishment after the Avengers on Asgard. Some wonderful characterization on all parts, issues of patient choice, and Sigyn is marvelous despite her oh so brief appearance.

Leaves from the Vine Another Loki’s punishment after the Avengers fic, this time involving lots of brother feels. Thor’s perspective on this is something else, and Loki is his usual tricky self.

Exposure A very lengthy and incredibly beautiful look at how Clint sees the world and how that, in turn, leads to he and Steve falling for each other. All the art feels, all the Clint feels, just the whole thing is a stellar work and even if you don’t ship it (and I don’t) this is well worth a read

Been a while since I updated the fic rec list apparently. Wooopsie. Here we go, got a whole ton of things here. As usual, no one ship is really represented because I read all over. The masterlist is over here

Darkness, Flooded in Light -- A delightful take on the idea of Loki falling to Midgard instead of through to the Chitauri, with all the things that entails. Lots of ties to mythology and what is and isn't so, lots of Loki feels, some wonderful thoughts to follow through. I quite enjoyed it.

Godchild -- This one is done and that's literally been the only thing holding me back. Thor is turned into a child, evil villain Loki stumbles upon him and takes him. Growth and evolution of a relationship, some wonderful parenting/sibling feels handled in a way I enjoy.

A Failing in Diplomacy -- Jotun-Loki! A happy Jotun-Loki who goes off on a diplomatic mission to Asgard to see about establishing trade relations and is thoroughly unimpressed. Asgard is full of misinformation and really racist jerk views, and I love the handling of this.

The Family Man -- An alternate take on what was driving Loki during the Avengers, full of myth and legend and lots and lots of family feels. Loki is still just as dangerous, but you mix that dangerous with a terribly dependent and grief-stricken mess of a man, and you get something equally dangerous and yes. I love it. Looooove iiiiit. I'm a terrible person.

I sat alone and waited out the night -- This is a Frigga I can get behind. This is a Frigga I can appreciate, who doesn't make me furious with her words about how Odin always has a plan. That's saying something.

Is This a Matter of Worse or of Better? -- Howard and Maria Stark, through Maria's eyes, and Tony growing up. This one aches in the best way.

The Last Love Song of Anthony E. Stark -- Amnesia-fic. Tony starts to lose his memory after getting an Asgardian virus. Muninn is involved, we naturally get some really dark-edged Loki, and this is actually the only Steve x Tony I've ever been able to stand--partly because it's really not in your face about the whole mess. This fic is amazing and where I started puttering the idea for Muninn around.

we may be better strangers -- Loki through the eyes of Freya. Freya's experiences in Asgard as a goddess of fertility. This thing aches and is beautiful and ends at just the right spot, leaving you aching for more and already knowing what's coming.

Love is for Children and Other Lies -- An in-depth look at Natasha's history all the way through to the Avengers and a little past. Long, but well-worth it. Just a pure delight to read.

Learning to Fly -- Loki's punishment after the Avengers on Asgard. Some wonderful characterization on all parts, issues of patient choice, and Sigyn is marvelous despite her oh so brief appearance.

All the art feels, all the Clint feels, just the whole thing is a stellar work and even if you don't ship it (and I don't) this is well worth a read.

Oh god here we go, I've got two fics to add to my rec list because I simply can't help myself.

And at the rate I'm going, I may need to think about creating a 00Q section on the fic rec list because guys.

Anyway.

Firstly

Midnight Train -- Steve takes a trip on a train because he would like to try it. Loki shows up. This is absolutely lovely, a beautiful little discussion back and forth, and I think Loki here is very well done. Conniving, scheming, and just the right amount of broken just beneath the surface. Go reeeeaaaad. It's a fantastic Loki x Steve (and I'm not saying that just because I beta'd it either. I wouldn't rec it if I didn't love it.)

elionai -- Series. Read both the stories. They are fantastic. Just fantastic. This blend of the His Dark Materials with the Avengers in the best way possible. I definitely shrieked when I saw the crossover, but then the entire fic just blows the entire concept out of the water. This is FANTASTIC. Why are you still reading this, GO READ THIS RIGHT NOW.

An Ice-Puzzle for Understanding -- Fairy tale feel, despite the modern setting. Steve starts to have these dreams about ice and snow and he isn't sure what's up. All very subtle, and one of the few 'Steve turns coat' stories I've found at all believable.

In the Land of Gods and Monsters -- Ee. Eeeeeeee. I love this. Smut, of course, lovely smut, but that's really not the only thing that gets stuff rec'd, you know? This line right here just sold it entirely for me : “I wasn’t ruined before you.” Just this swirl of chaos against order, and I am a sucker for both curiosity and temptation. Oh, and tiny bits of humour too.

The potential you'll be (that you'll never see) -- Oh, look. This is how FrostIron should be--broken, knowing it won't work, and all dark edges. Mmm. Utterly tragic and no less delicious.

~~As ever,~~ ~~full list over here~~
