a conspiracy of cartographers

It took me a month, but I have channeled some of my Ragnarok feelings into a fic!

Rebuild All Your Ruins, Thor/Loki
"Loki," Thor says, "why did you come back?"

(In a weird way this is the same fic as Shatter? Like, it really isn't, this is a bottle episode on a spaceship, not a Loki-is-banished-instead first movie AU, but the character trajectories are similar, just from the opposite end of Thor and Loki's arcs!! Which means that instead of talking about feelings while Loki rage-cries and threatens Thor with knives, now they talk about their feelings while drinking the Valkyrie's liquor together. ENJOY.)

Hey, Dreamwidth! I know, I don't call, I don't write, and I only stop by to give you Monday evening Thor/Loki porn, but perhaps that's what your Monday evening needed!

This takes place in the Find a Home universe, because what, like we're ever leaving there, it is the happy fork AU and we're going to play in it for ages.

the taste you were forever chasing, by Aria & filiabelialis, Thor/Loki
Thor has said that nothing of Loki frightens him away; but there is a difference between tolerance and love, and Loki can't afford to hope.

THIS ONE IS QUITE SHORT.

Find a Home, by Aria & filiabelialis, Thor/Loki
Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"

Part seven; in which the Avengers take the fight to Thanos.

(Previously: part one; part two; part three; part four; part five; part six)

Find a Home, by Aria & filiabelialis, Thor/Loki
Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"

Part five; in which there is an alien invasion and the Avengers make several difficult decisions regarding Loki.

(Previously: part one; part two; part three; part four)

Find a Home, by Aria & filiabelialis, Thor/Loki
Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"

Part three; in which Thor makes friends, engages in cultural exchange, and completely fails to be a good brother.

(Previously: part one; part two)

Uh so this is the part of the fic at which I start going LOOK LOOK THIS FIC IS THE BEST THING AND YOU SHOULD LOOK AT IT. Seriously though there are Thor/Loki makeouts and also Steve and Thor go on the Colbert Report (but these things do not happen at the same time).

Oh no oh no I have literally never been more jittery and ridiculous about posting a fic. BUT HERE IT IS.

Find a Home, by Aria & filiabelialis, Thor/Loki
Loki lets his head fall back, a despairing smile baring his teeth. "What do you mean by home?"

Part one; in which Thor realizes that things are not ideal on Asgard, and decides to steal Loki. There are eight parts total, and they'll be posted over the next week.

...now I will flee and maybe eat the rest of this pint of ice cream.

So perhaps you guys remember Sigyn (binding is not punishment), that fic I wrote where Darcy is a hipster and she and Loki bond over comics and when Loki is bound beneath the world, she stays with him to catch venom in a bowl? A few people mentioned that they'd be curious to read the version of Ragnarok that might happen as a result of that fic. "Haha, maybe," said I, lying through my teeth as one does when writing Loki, "if I ever figure out how to make it work in this universe."

I think the take-home message here is that, if you throw any myth about Loki at me, I will remix the hell out of it.

Ragnarok (release tips the balance), Darcy/Loki. A long time ago, when they were locked away, Loki promised they would escape at the end of the world.

This fic, this fucking fic.

I have my credit notes over at the fic proper, but what the hell, this was a labor of love and I think I should talk about these amazing people: Amelia for hand-holding, cheerleading, feeding me lines, hanging around for hours multiple nights in a row to yell about all the Loki feelings -- in short, this fic would not exist without them. Scott for saying smart, necessary things, and for making sure that my love for Loki didn't mean I was too nice to him. Olivia, as always, for forcing my structure to be better and for making the finished thing actually look good. And I can't even keep track of how many of you I additionally threw partial drafts at or wailed at while the fic was eating my soul; you are stars.

But now it is DONE.

Shatter, Thor/Loki, 32,209 words YEAH THAT'S RIGHT. "Loki," Odin says, heavy with disappointment and regret for all he has to raise his voice, "Odinson. I cast you out."

And now I am going to step away from the computer for a bit and read American Gods or something, because this fic is kind of my baby and I am not sure what to do now I have set it free.
