"But Lokius isn't even canon! Stop making everything gay!"
...
The Loki series isn't just about romantic relationships and shouldn't be seen as so. However, there is a lot of subtext. Maybe this ship is not canon, but it was intended to be seen as so by the fans.
If Lokius isn't canon, then why were the last two shots of the series showing Mobius and Loki?
Tumblr media
If Lokius isn't canon, why would there be so much touching and scenes so physically close to one another? (believe me I know they're friends. that just offers a solid base for something more)
If Lokius isn't canon, why is there an OFFICIAL track named like that?
Tumblr media
Why is said track played or incorporated in different scenes of the series? like
-the first McDonalds meeting with Sylvie,
-the back-in-time conversation with Kang
- the ASCENSION to the throne?
Why is the Sylvie and Loki kiss never mentioned, by the producers, in the series per se, or even in the season 1 recap?
Why is Mobius the only one looking at Loki when he leaves down to the temporal loom?
Tumblr media
And the other way around, why did Loki only make eye contact with Mobius in that scene?
Tumblr media
Why is Mobius the only one to notice there is something wrong when Loki is still trying to fix the Loom?
Tumblr media
Why did Mobius/Don on the original timeline, mention he's single, trust a complete stranger, invite him for a drink, AND offer to sell him a quite personal jet-ski?
Tumblr media
Why did Loki, the LITERAL GOD OF MISCHIEF stutter and fix his hair and coat for no one else but Mobius (who by the way is just a jetski salesman on that timeline)?
Tumblr media
Why is the timeslipping Loki had to go through directed to Mobius twice, him being the the only one he doesn't need a TemPad to "recruit"?
Why would Loki bring up Thor and Jane if it wasn't to mirror him and Mobius? (because, as he already was talking to Sylvie, he certainly wasn't implying it's about her. They were arguing, AND Mobius was implied in the conversation. Loki defended him in front of Sylvie, in case you forgot.)
Why would Mobius's voice be the one to echo back to Loki on his throne? let time pass time pass time pass
Why the RAINBOW?
Tumblr media
WHY DID LOKI LOOK AT MOBIUS RIGHT BEFORE THE FAMOUS LINE "IT'S ABOUT WHO"? (important mention: Sylvie was behind him when he said that. why didn't he just turn around when saying it? nope, they know what they're doing)
Tumblr media
Why is the shot cut to Mobi after Loki's "it was more about what I wanted" line?
Why the shot where 7 characters could've been showed (Mobius, Loki, Sylvie, B-15, Casey, O.B., Victor Timely) there are only 2: Mobius and Loki?
Tumblr media
Why is Mobius the only one to tell Loki he can be someone good, and the first one Loki actually believes despite his tendency to do the other way around in the past?
Why does Mobius finally find insight, and reinvent his whole life at the TVA because Loki helped him do so? (they're not even the first Loki variant he faced, but something clicked this time)
Why does the bloody sleeve, representing Loki being hurt by Sylvie just because he "wore his heart on his sleeve" disappear on episode 2? (because he finally understands who he needs to be next to)
Why did Mobius risk his life on the first episode?
Why did Loki go to past Mobius for the final advice, not to the present one, not to Sylvie?
Why did Loki ultimately sacrifice his life for the ones he loves?
And why is Mobius left alone, with the door locked, after Loki leaves in the Loom's radiation?
Why would there be so much endearing looks, and smiles at each other, if not for a conscious acting choice?
Why why why why why if it isn't canon?
Nothing is for nothing. Especially in television, where everything counts from the light to the angles and the way the lines are spoken.
We don't need to see two characters kiss to know they are made for one another. In fact, I think implied canon is so much better for now, because it leaves free interpretation for the fans, and nothing to strike on for the haters.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the ending is still tragic, although it holds its sweet from bittersweet. But remember: there aren't tragedies without love.

A Cunning Plan: The Lakes [Loki x Reader]
The Lakes Masterlist / Regular Masterlist Summary: (5) Loki has been doing some heavy mulling. Something's brewing, and it isn't tea. Warnings: Minors DNI. Language. Smut references. Mild angst. Humour. Pining. Ex-Loki. Satchelnanigans. Cunning plans. (w/c 4.7k) Recommended Folklore Track: The Lakes
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The night before had passed with an unnerving air of normalcy.
Loki didn’t speak much, but you could feel the unmistakable weight of him absorbing everything as it unfolded around him. He maintained a quiet distance. Marinating a monologue, perhaps.
You had a feeling it would come to harvest, eventually.
Something hung in the air among the domestic clink of cutlery and quiet apologies as the men squeezed around each other in the cottage. The rabbits were stewed, and much to Steve’s reluctant admission– were delicious. Loki had even taken a substantial loss in Monopoly that evening with uncharacteristic good grace. He and Thor hadn’t even fought over the little dog. And then, he had turned in early. What had passed between you that day – the rescue, the kiss, the supermarket…
His silence, you came to realise, was a blessing. A gift. If one which was grudgingly given. You had heard the low creak of his footsteps above in the living room as Steve diligently packed each playing card away face down.
He’s putting the condoms on Steve’s pillow, you thought with a wry smile. The captain looked up, oblivious.
“What’s got you in high-cotton?” Steve had asked curiously.
“Nothing,” you’d lied, scooting closer to the fire.
When the three of you had traipsed upstairs in single file and bid goodnight – Loki’s door had been closed. But you had heard his low, self-satisfied chuckle through the wall as the captain’s exasperated protestations travelled.
You wondered if Loki could hear your chuckle too. You hoped he could. When the four of you next met the chilled dawn air with bundled scarves and thick gloves, the sun was shining. Crisp, brilliant blue skies made the shade of Loki’s dark halo pop against the increasingly auburn skyline. When you had returned from your lesson, fingers numb and cheeks pink from the morning’s foraging, Loki ambled at the back of the group as usual.
You watched from ahead, seeing Thor and Steve huddled together whispering. They had been twitchy all morning, secretive smiles and hurried glances punctuating otherwise unremarkable commentary about mushrooms.
Loki was ten paces behind, a small basket slung over his arm. He walked slowly, picking up each specimen from his haul and inspecting it like a jewel. Checking every one twice. The Barbour jacket rustled around his thighs, waxed material creasing thickly as he drifted up the steep hill with effortless grace.
And now, the coats were hung on their usual pegs, a chirp of ‘don’t get too comfortable’ from Rogers making the hour break until the afternoon session shorten immeasurably. You closed your eyes, leaning against the kitchen door-frame while a couple of hunks of firewood fit snug under your arm. “Can I get you anything?” Loki murmured from the kitchen sink. You hadn’t noticed him standing there, hands in his pockets. The green scarf still hung around his neck, askew from where he’d yanked it.
In the following silence, his eyes ran questioningly over your features; the ghost of his question haunting the air. Only you, “No, thanks.” you offered weakly, beginning to un-loop your scarf before thinking better of it. “It’s colder in here,” he noted, followed by a sad smile. It pinched his dimples, but didn’t reach his eyes. “Lo-” you started. He turned back to the window. Sighing, you shuffled into the living room where Steve and Thor stood shoulder to shoulder by the fireplace. The scratch of a pen on paper was crisp over their hushed voices. Something told you it wasn’t sharing notes for the orienteering course this afternoon. The captain gave a cautious glance over his shoulder, jumping and nudging his accomplice in the ribs.
Thor coughed, hand flying to his mouth. He turned just as the final scrunched rag of paper sucked between his lips.
He chewed, smiling. “Hurr-oh Agen’” he mouthed, oblivious to Steve’s adjacent frown. Swallowing with difficulty, he leant back against the fireplace with zero finesse. “I didn’t see you there.” “What are you two up to?” you asked warily, crossing the room and emptying the bundle of wood in your arms to the scuttle. Steve’s eyes darted to the ceiling, avoiding Thor’s grin which spread at alarming speed. You decided that under the circumstances, you didn’t want to know.
Tumblr media
The markers you’d set up were supposed to take four hours to complete, but between intermittent downpours and Thor’s affinity for one-sided conversations with wildlife – it had taken six. The team had done well, and you had tried to let them make their own way as much as possible over steep inclines and thick forest.
Squabbling had inevitably ensued. By the time the beleaguered band piled back into the cottage, flopping on sofas and armchairs and the ancient, creaking recliner – all you wanted to do was sleep for the rest of the trip. “Why don’t we start a fire outside?” Steve announced loudly. You groaned. The sun’s last licks of light flooded through the window, illuminating the cottage lounge in an amber shroud. Loki’s forearm draped over his eyes, punctuating the sentiment with a bitter sigh of discontent. “Why must you always be doing something, Rogers?” he lamented.
To your surprise, Thor snapped up on the seat– eyes bright. “Yes! Yes! We can use the...the..” he and Steve pointed to each other dramatically.
“The groove technique!” they quipped in sync. You and Loki’s sceptical eyes met. His peered beneath a thick jumper sleeve; yours only visible above the worn blanket. For some reason, it smelled of him. “How’s this?” Loki postured slowly as he stretched his ridiculously long legs over the armrest. They dangled. “You two, go make us proud outside...and we will recuperate the energy necessary to deal with the result.”
This seemed to please everyone. Out the window, you enjoyed the unfolding show of the super soldier and the god arguing as they managed to whittle the tools required. “They forgot the moss,” you sighed to yourself, as dark smoke began to waft from the stick between Steve’s thighs. “Norns, the moss!” Thor boomed seconds later, panicked limbs flapping as he ran to the outshed.
To your side, the radio began to play soft jazz of its own accord. “I cannot summon the strength to get up. Don’t tell them,” Loki murmured. His arm was still draped over his eyes.
“It was only walking,” you cooed playfully, craning to see if there was the hint of a smile. There wasn’t. “Not that kind of tired,” he replied quietly, tapping the tip of his cheekbone with one curled finger. Biting your lip, you realised you hovered on the precipice of another early night for the god. And, you found, you didn’t want that at all. It was dark outside, now. “You’re allowed to use magic, you know” you said cheerfully, attempting to shift the mood as you snuggled deeper into the thin blanket. The once familiar scent of myrrh and smoked pine needles filled your nostrils. Really, it was uncanny how much this blanket smelled like-
Loki scoffed. “I suppose. It just feels wrong here, somehow. Like I’m sullying something.” You frowned, holding the ragged edge of the blanket out in front of your eyeline. “Loki, did you use this blanket?” His head tilted to the side, suspicious gaze peering beneath the curl of his fingers. “Yes.” was the strained response. “I draped myself in it when I slept down here the night that I...well-” You couldn’t help the giggle which escaped. In all the years you’d known him, Loki wouldn’t be caught dead using something so unconducive to utter pleasure. The very idea was absurd. Furs and pelts and material so soft it made your fingertips tingle when you touched it. Bedsheets so luxuriously sensual that the sensation of them against the back of your thighs was foreplay. The rooms you shared together had been no different, aside from the occasional cushion cover you’d managed to sneak in – inevitably met with distaste and eventual disappearance from the rotation.
Not even Stark’s voluminous fleece blankets during movie night had been acceptable, Loki always had his own magical stash, much to the envy of the others.
You would snuggle into his chest beneath the weight of it, cushioned at every angle with the heavenly material and his safe hands wrapped tightly beneath. They worked their way beneath your sweaters, each feather-light graze of his fingertip against your skin a promise of what was to come. You shivered. “Is that funny?” he frowned. Hurt bubbled behind his irises, frothing. You shook your head.
“I just wouldn’t have thought…” you said quietly, pursing your lips as the god’s stormy demeanour slipped once more beneath his hand.
The vintage clock on the wall ticked.
“I’m going to check on the guys” you muttered.
Even the bitter chill of darkness which waited outside the cottage door, you had a feeling, would be warmer than this.
Tumblr media
Nudged by your encouragement, the sparks created by Steve and Thor had become a healthy blaze.
Flame and smoke twisted upwards to the endless starry night, a miraculous lack of cloud making deep-rooted constellations sparkle.
The three of you perched on a tree trunk the blonde god had heaved over from the edge of the forest. Your chin rested on Thor’s shoulder as you gazed up at the navy sky. After a time, the cottage door slammed. Slow, purposeful footsteps announced Loki’s delayed arrival crunching over the path. Their beat made your heart quicken, its thump soaking into Thor’s puffer jacket.
He walked in front of you all, warming his hands on the fire. They rubbed together, long fingers twisting and locking before he held them up, palms outward. How they glowed, that fair skin luminescent in the fire’s kiss. “Would you give us a moment?” he said.
You could feel the shift on either side of your body as Thor and Steve looked at each other over your head. “Please,” he added coldly, absorbed in the flames. It wasn’t a request. Thor’s jacket hissed as he shuffled from the log, unwinding his arm from your shoulders.
“Yes, well - I have some...business to attend to,” he rumbled – casting another glance at Rogers. Even under the glow of firelight, you were sure the captain was blushing. “Right,” Steve said as he slapped his hands on his thighs. “I’ve been meaning to change the batteries in the ol’...flashlight. They’ve been on the blinkeroo.” With an awkward frown at their efforts, you continued to stare at the back of Loki’s head.
His hair was half tucked into the emerald scarf, dark wisps of wild curl spilling over the curve of his collar. His silhouette was breath-taking; legs wide, triangular and imposing in the caress of flame. If he had any inkling of the captain and his brother’s disappearance into the night, he didn’t show it.
Seconds passed at a crawl.
Sparks jumped and burst from the fire, crackling outward before sinking into darkness. Loki turned, wordlessly seating himself beside you on the tree trunk. You took a moment to look at him. Really look at him. The god pressed each of his fingertips in turn while his gaze was transfixed on the fire. His pupils followed the twisting flames that danced and licked against the night. The shapes pulsed against his cheekbones, a stray thread of hair blowing gently against his jaw. “I’m glad I brought this scarf,” he said quietly, staring ahead. Your eyes fell to the material wound around his neck that had barely left it since you’d arrived. You opened your mouth to speak, before closing it again. “I am sorry that I did not appreciate it-” he swallowed lightly, eyes flickering quickly to yours before looking away, “-when you gave it to me.” You rested a hand on his shoulder, patting gently. Even through the thick wax jacket, and the knitted jumper beneath; you could feel every curve of the muscle you once knew so well. Words turned to nothing in your mind, and somehow – you didn’t need them.
You let the hand fall, looking back to the fire. “Have I ever told you of the cabin?” he murmured, curling the rogue strand behind his ear.
You shook your head. He released a wry chuckle. “No, I suspected as much. I had forgotten it myself until my brother reminded me.” His eyes met yours, alive for the first time since yesterday at the supermarket. They swam with starlight, reflected galaxies spiralling in the smouldering darkness. “My father, well...Odin- built the Asgardian Palace, you know” he mused, running his hands down his thighs with a sigh. “But before that, few people know of where he and my mother resided.”
His voice was gentle, a story-tell lilt replacing the superior twang you had come to associate with his tales of Asgard. This one felt different.
Fighting the urge to tangle your fingers in his hair and mount him, you dug your hands further into your pockets.
“There was a cabin on Midgard. In Tromsø, or what would become Tromsø. It could not be seen other than when the midnight sun shone down beneath two clouds of red, and only the water whispered of it as it travelled through the land. Spoken of in hushed tones around great halls and campfires such as this. Some claimed to have seen it.”
He paused, letting the fire crackle. “Perhaps, some did,” he added quietly. Loki looked up at the exact moment you realised you were staring at him, a dreamy smile spread across your features.
“Before they became what they are to everyone else, they were…” Loki paused, licking his lips. “Different. They hunted, they foraged, they cast magic and made beautiful things for this realm with their kin under the cover of folklore and dreamscapes. They fell in love with each other, with everything. Before they were gods.” “Before?” you gasped quietly. Loki nodded. “All things have a beginning” he murmured, looking back to the flames.
“After the wars, and the taking of Asgard – there was a necessity to leave the cabin-that-had-no-place. And when Thor and I were young, they took us back every Asgardian summer, letting us run in long grass and wear rags and be free on the fjords and hillsides. We had no airs or graces, we played with local children – even flirted a little when we were of that age.” He smiled mischievously. It faded. “But those were different times. A different person, perhaps.”
Loki paused, brows peaking as he stared at the fire. “Or perhaps not.”
You blinked several times, looking away. Flames twisted and blew together as one. “Father gave us these hunting knives when we were sixteen, in your years” he said, an outstretched palm holding the blade. “The summer before our ceremonial inaugurations.”
It glinted in the fire’s glow.
“Uten røtter gjenstår ingenting” you chanted, running the pads of your fingertips over the blade’s inscription.
“Without roots, nothing remains” Loki hummed. “Ironic, considering all it transpired my father covered up. But not entirely without its merit.”
Your brow scrunched, wondering if you should say what you were thinking. “Yes?” he whispered. “Why are you telling me this?” Loki’s eyes tracked down the skim of your cheekbone, falling to your lips before swinging to the crackling fire. He grabbed a stick from the ground, poking the base.
“If I was that boy, once” he said thoughtfully, “then perhaps, there is hope for me. It felt important that I tell you that.” He twirled the stick between his fingers, catching a rogue ember between his tips before it landed on your lap. “I had forgotten him,” he murmured, rubbing the ash between his thumb and index finger. “I liked him.”
You leant your head silently on Loki’s shoulder, feeling his spine soften into the touch. His temple pressed against your hair.
“The thought of you and Thor chatting up poor local Norwegian girls is sending me a bit, you know” you muttered playfully. Loki’s quiet laugh was brighter than the fire.
You stayed like that, flames crackling.
Suddenly something caught your eye to the side, random flashes of white light which flickered on and off about fifty paces to the right.
You frowned, squinting into the darkness. Steve?
The light flickered again. Only the round of the captain’s pert ass was visible behind the tree. You were about to notify Loki to the strange sight when the sky lit up, an almighty crack shaking the air. Instinctively Loki covered your body with his, pressing you down into his lap. You squeezed your eyes shut, bracing for impact or sirens or the cries of a thousand rallying foes.
The god’s chest lay flush against your back, his breathing heavy as your mouth panted open against his thigh. You turned your head instinctually towards his body, cheek meeting the titanic bulge in his worn jeans. He pressed down further, caging you pressed between his thick trunk and thick-
“NORNS, DID YOU SEE THAT?” The thunder of Thor’s boots sounded against the stone path.
Loki’s breath fanned you ear as he rose, the feeling of his weight leaving bringing you back to reality. Turning, you saw thick smoke billowing into the night sky from the cottage, white against black. Loki jumped to his feet, clenching and unclenching his fists as Thor drew closer. He raked a hand through his hair, observing the unexpected scene with incredulity. Steve appeared, sidestepping closer to the muster as he spoke. “Oh gee, a lightening strike-” he said with unconvincing surprise. “I guess it happens! Thank goodness no one was inside.” The only sound was the crick of Loki’s neck as he edged it one side to another. “Brother,” he growled menacingly.
Thor laughed. “I know what you infer, but I do not know the origin of every strike of lightening. That is preposterous!” His eyes darted to the side, before falling guiltily back to Loki. “Global warming.” he added confidently while Steve nodded sagely beside him. The captain looked down at the flashlight in his hand, hiding it quickly behind his back.
Suddenly your eyes widened. “I think it hit my room.” Before you knew it, you were sprinting towards the cottage with the cries of the three men behind you. Their squabbling was white noise as you threw open the door and barrelled up the stairs. Everything you could see was eerily calm. Undisturbed.
The door to your bedroom swung open beneath cautious fingers. Your breath hitched.
The ceiling was open to the sky, a choking arid smell dissipating in the air. Tiles and smouldering ivy lay scattered around the room’s edge.
Your clothes? Sparse personal effects? Bed? Gone. Ash.
There was an unnatural circular hole in the floor where the lightening had landed, showing the far corner of the living room below.
“My chair!” Thor wailed from downstairs.
His plea was clean and crisp through the gaping hole in the floor. You heard his knees hit the carpet, followed by another thump you could only assume was his forehead.
“My chair,” he whined, quieter this time. “Oh, well done.” came Loki’s scathing response.
Tumblr media
“So not only have you decimated one bedroom, but the common room too” Loki muttered venomously, pacing a tight circle in the hall. The lounge window was blown open, shards of glass decorating the floor which held the smoking black outlines of the furniture. “Lightening hath struck the cottage brother,” Thor exclaimed on his knees with theatrical indignation. “Tis’ a natural phenomenon-” “-You’re a natural cretin.” Loki snapped.
“Alright boys let’s just take a beat,” Steve said. “We don’t know what happened here, but suffice to say we’ll deal with the consequences like gentleman.” Loki shook his head, a dry chuckle making his brother flinch.
“Don’t...don’t know what happened, Rogers?!” he quipped with feigned surprise. “Why! Let me just...try to use my magic to un-fuck this mess, shall I?” Thor smirked. Seidr glowed in Loki’s palms, spreading out to the living room. It sloshed upwards like water on a glass dome. “How odd, brother” Loki purred sarcastically. He didn’t even have to look at it. Thor swallowed as Steve’s brows rose. The dark god turned to the captain with a flourish of his wrist.
“My magic doesn’t work on another god’s mischief, you see” he said bluntly. “I suspect I would not be able to locate the whereabouts of your unmentionables, either. But I might start with the crisper if I were you. An old favourite of his.” Thor flushed pink. “Now see here, brother-”
He was cut off by your slow traipse down the stairs. You peeked into the living room; face falling as the three men huddled closer together out of your path. Loki’s mind was afizz. He watched despair cut across your features that not five minutes ago had been resting safely on his shoulder. The memory of that moment, Loki was sure, would sustain him through whatever farce his brother had in store.
“Where am I going to sleep?” you said weakly, looking at Steve. The captain’s lips formed a wide O, eyes vacant. Loki quickly calculated the options. “You can sleep in my room,” he said.
All eyes fell on him. “I will rest...somewhere else. In my brother’s bed as penance for his incredible stupidity.” "What's he got to do with this?" you asked, falling on deaf ears. “And where am I to bed?” Thor huffed. “In the car,” came Loki’s snap response. “Well actually uh-” Steve inhaled deeply, exhaling though his nose. “That won’t be possible. Thor and I need to stay in our assigned lodgings.” “What!?” “Our assigned lodgings.” Loki rolled his eyes.
“Yes, brother. Rogers and I have some important...business to discuss later.” Thor’s eyes flickered to Steve, who nodded. But he didn’t look happy about it. “Assigned lodgings.” he repeated. “I’ll just sleep in the bath,” you said with finality. Loki could tell the tension smothering the hallway was too much. Steve nodded once, clapping you on the shoulder. He gestured for Thor to go first up the stairs. He did, with a final shifty glance backwards.
Loki observed every single step up to the landing with infinite mistrust, hearing their door close with a soft click. Muttering ensued. “You are not sleeping in the bath, Agent. You’ll freeze to death” he spat, running an anxious hand through his hair as he kicked shards of glass from the lounge window further inside the room.
You groaned, resting your forehead against the door-frame. Loki straightened, clasping his hands behind his back. “Take my room.” he uttered, laden with ceremony. “I am a Prince of Asgard, I insist. My word is law. Obey me or face the consequences.” Your face titled towards him, your mouth twitching in a reluctant smile. Loki returned it. “I feel awful,” you whined, biting your lip.
How Loki wished you hadn’t bit your lip. Suddenly, your eyes lit. “Sleep in the room with me. This is dire straights and with those two being weirdos about it-” “-I couldn’t possibly.” he said quickly, catching what he thought might be disappointment in your eyes. The god’s feet shuffled on the floor, seconds ticking loudly. Even a blast of lightening couldn't destroy vintage clocks, apparently.
“On the floor...perhaps.” Loki said. “You could conjure a nice blanket?” you probed. “Some fancy pillows? A treat. No shitty blankets.” Loki nodded, hoping it looked reluctant. Despite it being a terrible idea, excitement twisted in his stomach. “You go ahead,” he said softly. “I’ll be right up.”
He savoured the shape of them on his tongue. It had been a long time, Loki thought wistfully as he watched you go, since he’d said those words.
Tumblr media
You flicked the light on, before turning it off again.
Best to just go to sleep, and then...it will be morning. No chatting. Next door, in Thor and Steve’s room, a floorboard creaked.
You looked around the small space, bigger than yours. But the layout was roughly the same, Loki’s single bed slightly off-centre, near to the wall. A small wardrobe sat sadly in the corner, his collection of outdoor-wear hanging neatly. It was hard to place the feeling bubbling in your chest.
Nerves. Anticipation? You hadn’t been this nervous since the night you and Loki had first had sex. You smiled, remembering how the knowledge that lingerie sat snug beneath your casual clothes made you wish the night away before you finally fell into his bed. It had been the best night of your life. Until that point, anyway. We’re not having sex, you chided silently as you quickly pulled off your clothes and left them in a pile by the bed. We’re not.
But for a second, you couldn’t remember why.
Naked, you suddenly recalled that your nightdress was ash next door.
Fuck, you thought; before hearing the low creak of Loki’s ascent up the stairs. You briefly considered displaying yourself nude and draped over the bedpost with your legs spread. But you decided your ego couldn't take that kind of knock right now - not when a kiss had been too far. You darted to the wardrobe, grabbing something and shoving it over your head before leaping to the bed. Fighting the folds of his tightly packed blankets, you shimmied between the thin sheets. He knocked gently, twice. “Come in,” you said casually.
The sound of low gasps and girlish whispers echoed from next door. Or maybe it was the wind. Loki’s hand appeared on the doorknob, pushing at arm’s length. Tentatively, his face came into view, averting his gaze to the door jam. The sight made you want to scream.
“Are you decent?” he murmured formally. At your confirmation, his gaze found you on the bed, knees curled to your chest and one of his t-shirts hanging loose around your body. Casual. Totally casual. “Ah, I’m glad you found something suitable,” he said gingerly as he made his way quietly to the window and pulled the curtains.
A plump comforter unfurled from green light on the floor, one silken pillow at its top. Magic rolled over his body, revealing the pyjama bottoms he’d been wearing all week. The ones that clung to his ass, shifting like water as he moved.
You swallowed.
“This is all I have in the closet, I’m afraid” he murmured half-apologetically as he patted his heart.
His eye twitched, fighting a wink.
Deep valleys of his stomach muscle clenched as he breathed, the V of his hips carved and beautiful above the hem of the loose trousers. The bulge of his cock shifted in moonlight as he dropped to his haunches, arranging the pillow. You cleared your throat, straightening your legs. “It’s fine, thank you for...this.” He offered a curt nod as he quickly arranged himself beneath the blanket. Rolling onto your side, your fingers slid up your temple through your hair. "You think that Thor made lightening hit the cottage?" "Yes." Your nose wrinkled. "Why would he do that?" Loki snorted derisively as he fluffed his luxurious pillow. Goose down, from the sound of it. "He's trying to be mischievous," he said gruffly. "It doesn't suit him." You rolled back on the bed with a squeak, mind working.
“Goodnight,” Loki whispered in the darkness. The salutation seemed unfinished, somehow.
What felt like hours passed.
The god's breathing was steady, but he shifted every so often with a breathy moan you were sure was intentional. You curled deeper on your side, facing away from him. It was freezing, the usual chill of the cottage not helped by the gaping hole in the roof next door no doubt. Was he facing away from you too? You decided to indulge yourself, rolling over beneath a rustle of bedsheets. Loki lay on his side, facing towards the bed. Dark curls were strewn over his forehead, one hand under the pillow while the other rested by his stomach. The blanket was pushed down to his waist, moonlight illuminating the shadowed carvings of his body. “Can’t sleep?” he purred groggily.
You closed your eyes quickly. “I’m cold, that’s all.” you said, hoping your voice didn’t betray the thundering of your sex. Just being in the same room, half-clothed, sleeping – the evidence of your desire for him slid uncomfortably between your thighs. “How rude, I should have given you my blanket-” There was silence, as Loki considered his words. “Do you want this blanket?” he asked quietly. You put all your mortal strength into making your teeth chatter. “N-n-n-no, you’ve already given me your b-b-bed-” “-You know, you’re making this very difficult for me, Agent” Loki chided from the floor. “The only other option is my-” he paused, making your heart stop. “Body heat” he finished.
“Both?” you whispered, half-hoping he wouldn’t hear it.
It hung between you. You opened one eye, catching the glimpse of his milk-slick silhouette rising silently, cast against the moonlight. The blanket hung from one fist, fingers clenching and unclenching. “Heat,” Loki mumbled quietly.
You wondered if he knew he’d done it.
He paced once, stopping at the bed’s edge. Your eyes met, the set of his jaw only softened by lightly parted lips. Lust burned in dark pupils, the energy making the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Curls fell around his shoulders, the natural scent of his crotch lingering tantalisingly in the air above your nose. God, how you missed that. You shuffled over in the single mattress, realising at once that it would be a very tight fit. He cast a glance to the foot of the bed, and back again.
“Perhaps my brother is still awake, I should make my lodgings there,” he murmured regretfully. Your eyes widened. “But-” “Wait here,” he said firmly.
On his way to the door, he turned and threw the blanket to rest with a flourish over the bed. No sooner had his fingers wrapped around the doorknob and pulled, Thor’s voice came through the wall. Muffled, but unmistakable. ‘Good gods, Rogers...don’t stop,” the voice groaned. “Where did you learn to do that with your argh-f-fingers?’ ‘The army,’ came the abrupt response.
There was another fetid moan. Loki released the door-handle like hot coal while you covered your mouth with your hands. The god hung his head, tendrils of dark hair clouding his expression from view. “Alright...” he breathed stoically to himself before turning to the bed.
Each pace was measured as he drew closer, every creak of the floorboards making you ache for him with every fibre of your being.
“You are cold,” he said slowly, penitently, as his knuckles sank into the mattress.
One knee followed suit.
He tilted his head, biting his lip as his brows knitted with some unsaid thought.
“I can help with that, at least,” he murmured to the darkness.

“Oh, David.”
He grunted, rejecting what sounded like pity in your voice. It was a reflex, despite you telling him over and over again that you empathized with his hard work. He simply refused to let you feel bad for him.
And you refused for him to not let you do that. How could you not feel bad for your man? He looked dishevelled at best. His clothes were wrinkly, his coat was wet from the rain outside. His beard was unusually long. He smelled of cheap body soap, one labelled a manly tornado of masculine jungle and virile storm clouds.
David started to explain, calculating his words so that he would not speak in vain. He told you that he found a truck stop and used their showers before driving back home. His presence for the investigation was supposed to last a day or two, but he was required to stay on the field for about a week. Unlike his colleagues, he turned his back to the offer of a comfortable bed at the motel and a warm breakfast every morning. He stayed ready and awake for as long and as much as he could, in case of something happening.
You helped him out in silence as he spoke. How you had missed the sound of his voice without the bad network of the phone service struggling to pick up from the place he stayed for the past week. It could have been in the middle of the Bermuda triangle for all you knew, it cut you off too many times and prevented you from falling asleep to the gentle humming of David as he played in his mind songs that looped on the radio during patrol.
He let you remove his drenched coat. He watched you until you disappeared into the bathroom, he assumed you were hanging the coat in the shower where it could drip and dry without making a mess. He loved your attention to details, and how it mirrored his very own. He let you untie his boots so that he could step out of them. He let you do every small and big gestures to get him comfortable.
You offered him a fresh set of clothes, soft worn-out sweatpants and an old t-shirt that had been waiting for his arrival since the moment he walked out of the door. While he changed, you discarded of the dirty work clothes that he wore. You did not comment on how difficult it would be to wash away the dried stains of mud. He was probably kneeling outside in the rain, searching for a piece of information regarding the investigation. Day and night, you knew he devoted himself to his case.
“Love?” He called out for you. He blinked as he caught sight of you, being a busy bee from one room to the other around the house. You hands were full one second, empty the next one. Loki both loved and hated how this all came naturally to you. He loved the ways with which you both took care of each other. You handled the seemingly mindless tasks that weighted heavy on his shoulders while he provided you with a safe, strong presence and with arms to fall into when you needed. When he was actually there.
You finally reappeared in the living room. Your face lit up with a smile at the sight of him. He already looked better in the clean clothes. The shirt stretched over his broad chest, over his soft tummy. “Tell me the story of when you got this t-shirt.”
Loki grinned and looked down at the World’s best fisherman shirt. He explained how he picked it up from the lost and found box at the police station he worked prior to the current one. A cliché altercation between him and a box of donuts had led to him interrogate his first potential criminal with a prideful fisherman shirt. His retelling of the story always made the two of you smile.
It worked as a way to bring his feet down on the ground, to focus on what was important. As a bonus, it was simply entertaining to imagine Loki walking around with that shirt while trying to appear as almighty and professional. “Do you want something to eat?”
The corners of his lips curled into a smile and he followed you to the dimly lit kitchen. In a few swift movements, you had bread, peanut butter, jelly as well as a couple of utensils pulled out on the counter. The final touch was added by David’s arms wrapping around your waist from behind as you assembled his sandwich.
You spread the peanut butter all the way to the crust of the bread and on the other slice, you scooped strawberry jelly and made sure to get chunks of fruit too. Just how he liked it, just how you made it when you packed his lunch for mornings where he was too busy and tired to remember to take care of himself. You pressed the layers together gently and cut it in two triangles, handing him the bigger half.
He thanked you with a kiss on your cheek as he grabbed one of the triangles, taking a big bite out of it. He could easily guess you would have preferred to welcome him home with a big, warm meal. Although, in his mind at this very moment, he saw no difference between that sandwich and something that would have taken hours to make and double the amount of time to bake. And besides, he thought a lot about what he wanted to do during this break from the investigation. He needed to keep his mind and hands busy. This sounded like the right opportunity to invest crazy amounts of time into food you could cook together. Or you’d settle from ordering takeout from the Chinese food restaurant.
You cleaned up once you were both done eating, still with David holding you tight like a safety belt. “Want me to tell you about my day?” He hummed, agreeing. So you did just that, you shared the silly details with him as a way to make him feel included despite his long absence. Sometimes, you disliked sharing stories of your life with him. He was a creature of habit, it was hard to remind David that you were just telling about your encounter with a rude person at the grocery store and it was not an investigation. He would analyze your words, scrutinize your reactions, until you told him to relax.
He did not need such a reminder, at that very moment. Loki leaned his head on your shoulder, not minding how contorted his spine was to maintain him in that position. His eyelids were getting heavy, and so was he. He was half listening and half falling asleep on you.
For every night of the past week, you would have traded anything just to be crushed by his sleeping body and keep him safe and warm. However, you imagined it would be in bed and not laying flat in the middle of the kitchen if you even found the space for that anyway. “Come on, big boy. It’s time for your nap.” You turned gently in Loki’s arms, causing him to gain just enough consciousness to grunt in dissatisfaction. You draped his left arm over your shoulders and held him tightly as you both limped your way to the living room.
Any further, and David would have fallen down on the floor. You helped him to the couch so he could lay down. He shook his head slowly when you presented him with one of the throw pillows. He opened his eyes just long enough to lock his gaze with yours and he grinned when you understood his silent request. He sat up, struggling to stay still, until you joined him on the couch.
You stretched your legs up on the coffee table and you let Loki slowly rest his head on your lap. The sigh he let out made your heart clench inside your chest. He was killing himself trying to save people from dying. All you could do was stand by his side and help keep his head above water for as long as he would let you.
Loki saw it differently. He saw all of the love-filled gestures as a sacrifice as big as his. He appreciated each and every single one of them, and tonight was just the same. He appreciated how you peeled away the layers of stress, of turmoil and of fear. You did that by helping him with his clothes and also by keeping safe physically and at peace mentally.
“It’s okay, now.” You whispered as you placed your right hand on his stubbly cheek, your left one played with his hair. You were soothing both of your souls while trying to make up for all the time he spent away.
You repeated that it was okay over and over again until he, too, said the words to himself. He was okay. For now. And, for now, it was all that mattered. There would never be enough words and actions that could show you how thankful he was to have someone to rely on.
“You’re home.” You smiled down at him and watched him closely as he relaxed under your touch. You stroked your thumb over his lips, tickling his sensitive and chapped skin until his mouth parted open and his breathing slowed down.
He was seconds away from drifting into sleep. His eyelids were heavy. On your thigh, his head was heavy too with all its of horrors and sorrow. His voice sounded gentle and calm. “My love.”
A single tear fell from your cheek and down on the hand that was caressing his. Hearing the words in person rather than on the phone healed the pain that Loki’s absence had put you through once more. You leaned your head back to rest it on the couch and you closed your eyes too. Though it came with all sorts of tribulations, you were just as thankful as him to have someone to rely on.

Take Care of You
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: Steve Rogers seems to take care of everyone. But who takes care of him?
Pairings: Steve Rogers x reader; a little Loki x reader (because I can’t help it)
Warnings: smut; angst; drinking
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
"Actually, it's interesting…"
In all honesty, the contents of your wine glass was the most interesting thing at the table. Between the appetizer and main course, it has become apparent that this date had been a mistake. The downtown restaurant was quite popular and loud, easy to drown out the one-sided conversation from across the table about whatever was incredibly interesting. Had he even asked a question all night?
Smiling your way through dinner and dessert, he rambled on until the bill was paid and you could finally slip on your coat to leave.
"Thank you for a lovely evening," you said at the main entrance of the restaurant.
"Let me take you home." It was a statement more than a suggestion. Protesting was futile as his car pulled up from the valet and, with a sigh, you gave in.
"Thank you, again," you said as he parked his car and started to walk you towards the Towers, not taking the hint.
"Let me get you safe inside," he offered, placing a hand on the small of your back. Cringing, you gently guided his hand away and turned to face him.
"Thank you," you said all the more sternly. "I can take it from here."
He frowned, as if he had something to say, and then his eyes darted behind you for a split second before saying a quick good night and leaving. You spun on your heel to find a shadowed figure emerging, hands in his pockets and a scowl on his face. Steve.
You let out a breath, a little thankful, a little frustrated. Of course, one of the most emotionally unavailable bachelors in America would be your knight in shining armor. He walked up, looking between you and the man bee-lining it to his getaway vehicle. "Don't start, Rogers." You didn't need a lecture after the night you had.
His hands shot up in animated defense. "Only here if you need me."
He held the door open, waiting patiently as you strutted toward the entrance. Maybe he was emotionally unavailable, but he was still Captain America, and you'd be damned if the little dress you wore went to waste. You passed by him, imagining how confident and sexy you must appear when your heel caught on the door frame, tripping you forward. On instinct, Steve grabbed your hand and waist before you landed on your face. Adrenaline rushed through your veins for a moment, and when you turned your head, he was closer than expected. "You okay?"
"Guess I needed you after all," you laughed a little breathy, attempting to lighten the mood amidst him everywhere on you–his hands hovered on your hip and back, his chest pressed against yours, his face only inches away.
He smiled warmly, helping you upright. "Let's get you upstairs."
The glass elevator held a perfect view of the skyline, and you watched the planes above while waiting to reach the main loft. Leaning against the railing, you slipped off your heels, your feet finally rejoicing.
"Bad date?" he asked, trying to make small talk.
"I don't think he even remembered my name." He chuckled quietly, sliding his hands into his pockets. The elevator doors opened and he walked in stride with you down the hall while you gave him the play-by-play highlights of your disaster of a date. He paused when you reached the front of your bedroom door.
“I dunno,” you said with a sigh. “Somehow I just continue to attract the self-absorbed assholes. Maybe that's just the type I'm meant to be with.”
He shook his head. “Don't think that. You deserve better.”
“You really think so?”
He gave you a look like it was obvious. “Come on, you're too good of a girl to end up with someone like that.” His words made you smile, and they lingered in your mind long after you had said good night, making you wonder if anyone took care of the captain the way he took care of you.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Pancakes and coffee. That was all you could think about in the morning, and the aromas wafting from the kitchen brought some of the team to slowly trickle out.
"So, how was the date?" Natasha asked, pouring a large cup of coffee and settling in a seat near the kitchen island. You gave her a look. "That bad?"
You turned to flip pancakes and pour more batter on the skillet. "Let's just say I'm glad Steve was there to send him on his way without a word."
Natasha raised an eyebrow at Steve, who shook his head like it was nothing, but she gave him an amused look.
When you turned back around with a fresh stack of pancakes, you were faced with hungry eyes. "Alright, you guys have to share!"
Taking your share of the prepared breakfast, you settled into a chair at the island.
"So, is that a no to any future blind dates?" Natasha asked.
"That's a definite no. But I will absolutely say yes to a date with you at that new club downtown."
"Alright, alright, we'll go. Steve, what do ya' say? Wanna join us and make it a threesome?" she asked, leaning up against him.
Flustered and choking on his coffee, he turned three shades of red and shook his head. "No no, you ladies have fun."
You and Natasha sighed in unison. "Suit yourself."
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
Your night out with Natasha was magical. The club was classy and modern, the kind where you'd find paparazzi hiding out. Both men and women lined up to buy you and Natasha drinks, join the VIP lounge, and dance the night away.
By the early morning hours, you had stumbled back into the loft with Natasha, giggling and shushing one another way too loudly. Natasha went to the kitchen, making a racket of noise with glasses and cupboards while you laid down on the couch, feet aching from hours of dancing. A glass shattered on the floor, followed by Natasha cursing and a very tired and irritated Captain storming out of his room.
"Seriously Nat?"
"Sorry dad," she said, attempting to pick up bits of glass from the floor. Steve sighed, running his hands through his hair.
"Just stop, your gonna cut yourself. Go to bed, I'll take care of it."
She was stubborn, but he was firm, and soon she was scampering out of the kitchen and down the hall to her room. Steve sighed and you heard the sweeping of the broom, the metal grating of the dustpan.
When he shut off the kitchen light, you sat up from the couch. "You're good at that."
Steve turned and practically jumped, placing a hand on his heart. "Jeez, you scared me half to death!"
"Sorry," you said meekly.
"Have you been drinking too?" He didn't sound upset or accusational. More amused.
Putting your index finger and thumb close together, you scrunched up your face in guilt, making him laugh. "Alright, come on."
He offered his hand out and you took it, faltering when you stood. "I see Nat forgot how much of a lightweight you are," he joked.
"Hey," you said and smacked him on the chest. His eyes crinkled when he smiled, looking down and holding you in his arms for a moment. You felt so small in his arms and swallowed the lump in your throat before breaking the silence. "You take care of everyone."
"Is that what I'm good at?"
You nodded.
"I guess I do," he said, and in one swift movement hooked his arm under your legs, causing you to squeal while he carried you down the hall.
The room was dark, illuminated only by the faint light of the moon. He laid you down on the bed and sat next to you. "Need anything before I go?"
You took hold of his hand and he looked down at the touch. "Steve… Does anyone ever take care of you?"
He considered the question. "The team takes care of me when it's needed."
You shook your head. "No." And then, heart pounding in your boldness, you sat up and climbed over to straddle him. Arms wrapped around his neck and his breath grew heavy. "Does anyone take care of you…like this?"
You leaned in slowly, in case he was uncomfortable, in case you were reading it wrong, but he allowed you to kiss him, and after a moment, his lips responded, his hands slow and steady guiding up your legs, your hips, your back. He whispered your name, a question, a desire, a need.
He pulled back to look at you, a little in shock, a little in lust. Like he wanted to be good, but he also wanted you. "You're… you've been drinking."
Your head tilted to the side. Should have known–always the chivalrous one. "Steve, I want you."
Kisses trailed down his neck and across his jaw line as you spoke.
"Let me take care of you," you whispered, pulling up the end of his T-shirt until he allowed you to pull it over his head. He was torn, hesitant. He didn't allow his desires to normally take precedence over honor. But, this time, he did. Hands ran over his thick chest, his hardened abs, to play with the little grooves on his hip bones. "Sit back," you ordered, and he obediently listened, watching with want and desire while your fingers hooked into his shorts and underwear, sliding them down in one go.
His cock sprang forth from its confines, already hard and pulsing and wet from precum, and your eyes went wide at how incredibly well-endowed he was. The ladies had all speculated at how big the super soldier actually was, but you'd never imagined…
You knew then how you wanted to take care of him. With a devilish smirk you crawled up, your tongue running along the underside of his cock, never breaking eye contact. A little moan escaped him, making you want to hear the range of all his noises. Your fingers stroked at his balls as you slowly guided your tongue along his shaft, causing his breath to shutter.
His fingers ran through your hair and when you lifted your head he brushed your cheek with his thumb.
"God, you are gorgeous," he whispered. You closed your eyes and then took him full in your mouth and down your throat. The response he gave was guttural, claiming your name when you took a breath, only to go down again. In that moment, you were in control and he was yours. His breaths became faster, his moans more frequent, and you knew he wouldn't last much longer. But that was perfectly fine; you were here to take care of him.
Your mouth became hot and full of him and was swallowed down like it was nothing. It took a moment for him to catch his breath and come back down from his high and he started to ramble, from embarrassment or being unsure of what to do. You shushed him gently, curled up next to him, and grabbed his hand to wrap his arm around you.
He laid there quietly, kissed your shoulder and fell asleep in your bed. But in the morning, he was gone.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
You weren't surprised. Disappointed, sure. But not surprised. More than a dozen times you had reminded yourself that Steve Rogers was emotionally unavailable. But that didn't stop your drunk ass from what you did last night.
In the light of the morning, you were determined to not walk out of your room looking like some drunken whore. You'd be damned if you were someone he regretted. Extra time was taken to scrub yourself clean, brush your teeth twice, and make yourself not only presentable, but gorgeous.
Taking a breath, you walked out to the foyer. Natasha looked up from her cup of coffee, a tired smile on her face. "Sorry I bailed on you last night. I don't even remember what happened. Where did you go?"
You shook your head at her apology. "No, it's fine. I just passed out."
Natasha raised a curious eyebrow at you. "No midnight romping?"
You laughed, maybe a little too loudly. "Nothing of the sort, I can assure you."
She hummed in response. "Morning Captain."
Your eyes went big for a slight moment as he passed behind, a scent of evergreen lingering behind. "Morning," he acknowledged evenly.
Pulse starting to race, you slipped into the kitchen before Natasha could question you further. Pouring a cup of coffee (the larger, the better after the night you had), Steve walked in casually.
"Morning agent," he said, grabbing a carton of eggs from the fridge.
"Hi," you said, stirring your coffee as if it was the most fascinating cup of coffee you'd ever laid eyes on.
"Sleep well?"
You raised your eyes up to meet his, a small smirk on your face. "Yes…" you said slowly. Was he playing a game with you?
Steve waited until he was sure Natasha was gone and out of earshot. Then, crossing his arms and studying the floor, he said, "Listen, I need to apologize for last night."
You blinked but kept silent, stirring your coffee and watching him. He was infuriating! Just wouldn't let you have that moment with him.
"I took advantage of the situation and should have stopped it before it went that far," he continued.
Your breaths were even through your nose, but internally you were screaming. As frustrated as you were, you knew there was no point in arguing. Once he had gotten something in his mind as fact, there was no convincing him otherwise.
Sighing, you made to leave the room. "Whatever you need to tell yourself, Steve."
He grabbed your bicep as you passed by, making you pause in your tracks. "It can't happen again."
You looked from his grip on your arm to his piercing stare and bit to your lip to refrain from screaming at him.
"Got it," you choked out, and pulled away.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
It was easier to just avoid him in the following weeks. If he hadn't made a thing of it, you could have gone back to being friendly and flirty. But he didn't make things easy
You chose the missions he wasn't on and made excuses for the ones he joined. But it was hard; you missed him, his kindness, his stories, his listening ear. He was your leader and you just felt…lost.
There was no use in regrets, but sometimes you'd wonder if you'd make a mistake and lost a friend.
It was a strangely quiet Saturday night for most of the team. After a few weeks of intense missions and undercover work, it was nice to finally have a break. The last thing you wanted was to go out to a bar or club and Natasha agreed. Giving you a look like she was up to no good, she pulled out a deck of cards and a bottle with a language you couldn't translate.
"What are you doing, Nat?" you asked with a warning tone.
"Making our own fun. We aren't a couple of spinsters. If we don't want to go out, doesn't mean we can't still have a little fun," she said with a wink.
You smiled while shaking your head. "You're the worst influence."
"No, I'm the best. Now round up whatever boys are still around."
You trailed down the hall and paused at Steve's door. Knocking, you prayed that he wouldn't answer, but the door opened before you could slip away.
"Hi," he said, crossing his arms. He appeared standoffish, but there was a kindness in his eyes.
"Hey, um, Nat is setting something up out there. Wanted everyone to join."
He raised an eyebrow. "What did she pull out from her bag of tricks this time?"
"Box of cards and a bottle of something."
"Blue label? Foreign writing?"
"Yeah." As silly as it was, you missed this–the normalcy, the casual chat, feeling comfortable with him again. There was a beat where you two locked eyes, getting lost for a moment. You opened your mouth to say something, a sorry, an I miss you, anything, but he beat you to the punch.
"I think I'm gonna stay in tonight, but… you should be careful with that bottle. Asgardian firewater isn't for the faint of heart."
He started to close the door. "Steve?"
He paused, but the words caught in your throat and you just stood there like an idiot.
"Have fun," he said, and hearing your name on his lips brought it all back. You wondered if he thought about it as much as you did.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
He was right about the firewater. Natasha had poured you a shot and it burned like kerosene going down. You shuttered, turning the bottle to study its label. A hand reached out, clasping the shot glass and pulling it to the side. Your eyes followed the hand to the dark haired Asgardian prince who leaned toward you.
"Please do not tell me you drank this in a shot glass."
You smirked at him. "Blame Nat. I just do as I'm told."
Shaking his head at your naivety, Loki refrained from engaging on your comment further and slid the used shot glass to the sink, pulling a clean large glass from the cabinet.
"If you're going to drink this, you're at least going to learn how to make a proper Asgardian beverage out of it." He rolled up his sleeves, rummaging through the bar and pulling out an assortment of bottles and citrus fruit.
"You making me a drink or breakfast, Loki?"
He stood, pointing a paring knife at you. "Hush. Now come around here, you're making it yourself."
He taught you how to skin the rind off an orange without the pith, instructed you to juice a lime, showed you the measurements for the other spirits to add before pouring it over the liquor. He didn't touch you, but his close proximity somehow still made you feel warm.
"Stir it, slowly” he drawled. “The point of this isn't to rush and hit your high as fast as possible. Savor it, enjoy yourself."
He slid the glass toward you and watched as you took a sip, an eyebrow raised in a question. Your eyes widened as that first sip went down, not burning like fire, but sweet like honey. "It's good. Thank you Loki."
Satisfied, he leaned forward, palm landing on the back of your arm to whisper in your ear. "Now don't let me catch you with that shot glass again. You deserve more than just a quick fix."
You took a short breath in as you laughed nervously, something twisting deep inside. Was he…flirting with you? Your eyes darted to the side to see Steve talking to Tony, but watching you. He turned, patting Tony on the back before walking straight out the door, his jaw firmly set.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
The night had been fun, playing an assortment of card games. Loki and Thor attempted to teach everyone a complicated version of Asgardian poker, which turned into peals of laughter. You wiped your eyes, both from laughing so hard and feeling exhausted, when Loki stood. "Thank you for a pleasant evening, but it is time for me to retire for the night."
You nodded and yawned on cue. "Me too. Goodnight guys."
Natasha shuffled the cards and dealt out a hand to the rest of the night owls, saying a quick good night.
You followed Loki the short distance down the hall to your separate bedrooms. "Sorry Loki, I think we're a little hopeless at learning your game."
"If my brother can master it, there is hope for you all yet. Plus," he paused, turning to you in front of your door, "it seemed like a welcome distraction for you."
You looked up at him, a little alarmed at his observation. Hadn't you been more discreet watching the front door for Steve? Apparently not.
"Oh, I…" you stuttered, but he shook his head and put a hand on your arm to reassure you.
"No need to be embarrassed, little one. I wasn't trying to pry. It was just nice to see you carefree and smiling again."
He was right, it was a nice change. You were tired of walking on eggshells and needed an attitude shift.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘���༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
You couldn't sleep that night though, as tired as you were. Between Loki's flirty antics and Steve's frustrating behavior, your mind was swimming and needed to be cleared. After tossing and turning, the blankets were finally ripped off and gym clothes slipped on, deciding a quick workout would help.
Earpods turned on, you entered the gym and started up the treadmill. A mile in and sweat starting to drip, a resounding boom caused you to pull out your earbuds. Pausing on the edge of the treadmill, you pulled out an earbud to listen, a rhythmic pattern of beats down the hall. That was odd, you thought you'd be alone at this hour.
"Hello?" you called out, wiping the sweat from your forehead and chest and following the sound. You opened the door to an open studio used for combat practice and paused in the doorway. On the opposite side of the room, Steve focused on a punching bag, his back muscles rippling and contracting within a tight T-shirt. Standing mesmerized, you watched as he worked the bag until one final blow busted it off the hook and he went to grab a new one.
His eyes turned up and locked on yours, startling you out of your trance. "Sorry. I…" you fumbled at your words.
"Can't sleep?" he asked.
You shook your head. "Came down here to clear my head."
"Yeah," he said, hooking the bag on with one arm. "I've been trying to do that for a while now."
"Well, I'll let you get back to it." You made your way toward the door. Halfway through the door frame, he said your name, staring at the bag, making you pause. "I haven't… I haven't been able to sleep for a while. I can't stop thinking about that night."
You almost didn't hear him, almost asked him to repeat himself. When he turned to look at you, you were like a deer caught in headlights. Too afraid to move or look away.
"I know that I shouldn't. And I tried to stop myself, tried to push you away and ignore you. My focus should be on the team and our missions. That's why I told you it couldn't happen again."
He unwrapped the boxing tape from his hands, walking toward you.
"But I can't get you out of my head. You're all I can think about."
You ignored the pounding of your heart and the tingling in your core. He was so close to you now, and you were furious. How dare he say all this after how he treated you! You wanted to slap him, yell at him, anything to show him how much pain and frustration he had caused you. But then, his next words cut to your core: "I'm so sorry. I miss you."
His blue eyes searched your own, no doubt looking for a sign that you would forgive him. He hesitantly raised a hand slowly up to your cheek, thumb brushing along your cheekbone, melting your resolve and angry exterior with the swipe of his hand. Who were you kidding? You missed him too.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
The sun was creeping up along the horizon when your eyes opened. Your bed was warm and cozy and your arm clutched onto the arm wrapped around your body.
You turned slightly, Steve still asleep and breathing steadily. The man was probably exhausted from his lack of sleep the last few weeks. It didn't help that you both stayed up late the night before as well.
He had walked you back to your room after your encounter in the gym, stood outside your door to wish you good night like the gentleman he was trying to be. No, he was a gentleman, he reminded himself; only you had ignited something inside him that he was fighting hard to resist. You gripped onto the edge of his T-shirt and pulled him into the room with a coy smile that he reciprocated.
Neither knew what to do, and you didn't want him to feel like you were expecting him to reciprocate for the prior night together. After keeping your distance from him for weeks, you just knew that you wanted to be near him again.
"For the record, I missed you too Steve." You grabbed two water bottles from the fridge, tossing one across the room to him.
He downed half the bottle before recapping it. "I'm not very good at this. I've spent too long focused only on whatever the mission is and not anything else."
"This," you said, gesturing between the two of you, "can be whatever we want it to be. I just know that I want you back in my life. However you want that to be."
He nodded, taking in your words. Then stood and walked over to you leaning against the dresser. His blue eyes looked down to yours and you could feel your heart instantly picking up pace. He could probably hear what he was doing to you by the uptick of your pulse, but didn't let on. "However I want?"
You nodded, words lost to you. Even though you had had him once before, he still made your nerves twist. He leaned down and kissed you then, and it felt like you both let go of a breath that was held for far too long.
When he pulled away, you almost whined, wanting more.
"Let's start by taking care of you," he said, and gripped your ass to sit you on the dresser.
With easier access, he trailed kisses down your neck, body shivering in response. He pulled you into him and you wrapped your legs around his waist. Lifting you up, he carried you easily to your bed and gently set you down, hovering over you.
“What do you want?” he asked, and you knew that his question was meant for more than just pleasure.
You hooked your finger into the hem of his t-shirt, bringing his lips to yours. A girl could get used to those soft lip caresses. The warmth of his hand traveled underneath your shirt, up your ribcage to the curve of your breast, and you gasped as his fingertips circled your nipple. He pulled his lips back from yours to watch the expression on your face, and with a little hesitancy, you told him, “I want to be yours.”
It was like you had lighted a fire within him with your words, and he engulfed you in flames. Your leggings were removed, his lips trailing kisses lower and lower until he was in between your thighs, finding solace in your warm folds. His tongue was like a flint, unyielding until sparks flew. Without mercy, he gripped onto your thighs, making you rise higher and higher. You gripped onto his hair, moaning his name at a higher octave until you fell into bliss, and were cradled in his arms.
There was no telling what would become of you and him, but for the moment, you would take care of each other.

Hi this may sound weird but can I request something where the reader and Loki haven’t yk in a couple days and Loki tries to initiate something but reader confesses she’s on her period and doesn’t really feel horny during that time? 😭 so it ends in them doing something cute and fluffy??
Sure and not weird at all!
Loki x fem reader
Not in the mood
Loki sighed, this past month has been quite eventful, he’s been going between earth and Asgard along side Thor for a while, aside from helping around the avengers.
His mother was starting to taunt him about meeting you but even that felt like a damn chore at this point, plus he hasn’t been able to spend much time with you either.
"Hey my prince" well at least not until now.
You looked radiant as ever in his eyes, you just came back from your work in the lap and finally took off your lap coat, he can now see your dark purple turtle neck and black trousers.
Your hair fell nicely on your face after being tied up for hours "want some tea?" You said pouring yourself a cup.
"Not quite but something else would be nice" He stood up and walked behind you, warping his arms around your waist and pressed his lips to your ears "I missed your sweet voice and soft skin against mine you know, I almost forgot how you tasted…care to reminder?" He could feel something was off though, usually you’ll melt into his embrace and get all flushed but your current reaction wasn’t exactly that.
You didn’t lean your body onto him and instead of looking aroused you were kinda looking to the side "Is something the matter? Have I said something unappealing?" You looked fine just now and when you were upset with him you showed it.
You shook your head and looked up at him "it’s nothing you did, I’m just not in the mood because of…you know, it’s that time of the month" Loki opened his mouth then closed it, he looked down at your feet, covered by thick knitted socks.
Now it made sense.
He loosened his grip around your waist and laid his chin on the top of your head "care for some other delightful offers?"
You smirked a little "such as?"
"I’ve got a few ideas"
The two of you ended up cuddled up on the sofa rewatching a favorite of yours, occasionally snorting at each other’s commentary and ending ordering too much food that would be consumed by you the next day as a snack.
"You know, I really missed us" you mumbled laying your head on his chest.
"Me more dove, now tell me what you’ve been cooking in that crazy lab of yours"
A chuckle escaped your lips "Nothing special, just creating the weapon that would make the queen of the world" Loki kissed your forehead, you could feel his lips forming a smile against your skin.
"That’s my girl"

"Stop, Loki! Ahhhhh, stop, please!" you shrieked wildly as Loki playfully but mercilessly pelted you with icy snowballs.
You loved seeing him like this, completely lost in a moment of carefree fun. His eyes were alight with that familiar glint of mischief and the midday rays reflecting off the surrounding snow seemed to dance across his porcelain skin. He was beautiful. And he was yours. An arrogant smile slowly melted into his features as he responded to your request for a ceasefire.
"What's the matter, darling? Can't handle everything I have to offer?" he quipped with a wink.
Damn him and his relentless innuendo. A slight blush crept across your cheeks at his words.
"Oh, I know I can handle all of you, Laufeyson. I've done it many times before," you decided to give it right back to him. "What I can't handle is any more snowballs to the face or soaking through my coat. Not all of us have an endless tolerance for cold, you know!"
Given Loki's heritage, he required no protective outerwear during your childish winter antics. Not that you truly minded -- it meant you got to enjoy a better view of those sinful hands of his, the long, elegant fingers flexing dexterously as he packed the glittering snow into nearly perfect spheres. But, perhaps, his affinity for the cold did give him an unfair advantage in this case.
"I can think of several things I could do to warm you right up, love. Things I could do with my fingers..." he twirled his delectable digits seductively and nearly had you drooling. "...or my mouth..." his skillful tongue peered through the curtains that were his luscious lips and slowly swiped along his top lip just before he smirked knowingly and pulled his bottom lip between his teeth. "...or my cock."
Had the temperature suddenly risen? Your thighs clenched together involuntarily, your body already yearning for the sweet friction, and the slightest whimper escaped your lips at his salacious words.
He paced towards you, closing the distance until there was none left, and his warm breath was fanning across your neck as he bent to whisper in your ear.
"Although," he continued, "judging by your reaction thus far, I could probably keep you warm with my words alone." His voice seemed to drop an octave, and assumed that familiar huskiness that he reserved only for you in your most private moments with him. "Maybe we should test the theory, hmm? Would you like that, darling?" His tongue darted out to lick the shell of your ear.
"Yes, Loki..." you breathed, your own voice barely above a whisper. "Please, let's be done with our game and go inside. I need you."
"As you wish, my love," he placed a wet kiss along your jawline. "Follow me."
He began the short walk back to the cozy home the two of you shared, his broad back to you. The wet spots he left on your ear and jaw began to sting in the frigid winter air. You absent-mindedly reached up to soothe the ache with your gloved fingertips, and as you turned to admire the way the dark jeans he was wearing hugged his perfect ass as he strode towards the house, the temptation was too great. You simply could not resist.
THWAK!
A perfectly thrown snowball hit him in the back of the head, bursting into a flurry of snow that clung to his ebony curls and drifted down his neck and across his back.
"Oh you're in for it now, pet." He turned around, ever so slowly, his lips upturned into a menacing smile and his emerald eyes burning with the promise of what was to come.
You decided to play right into his hands.
"Have I earned a spot on the naughty list, Sir?"
He gazed back at you with a hungry expression, his pupils dilating with lust; you knew the effect that particular word had on him. He began stalking towards you, like a predator cornering his prey.
"That goes without saying, Y/N. Your misbehavior is simply unacceptable. Now, do you know what happens to naughty girls?"
He was right in front of you once again, towering over you and looking down his nose directly into your eyes.
"They don't get any presents?" you suggest with feigned innocence.
"They must be punished." he declared with such authority, it left no room for argument.
"Oh really? Just what exactly do you -- AHH!"
Before you could even finish your snarky response, he had you draped over his shoulder, your eyes staring at his perfect backside and his strong arm flexed behind your knees, holding you in place. His other hand rose up to give your unsuspecting bottom a warning smack.
"No more questions, darling. You're in enough trouble as it is."
He carried you inside, kicking off his shoes along the way, and before you knew it, he was tossing you on the plush bed like a ragdoll. The deep emerald-colored satin sheets twisted in your fingertips as you stared up, wide-eyed, at your husband; gone from his face was the carefree playfulness and in its place was a stern demeanor. There was no question who was in charge here. And you loved it.
With a snap of his fingers, a blanket of green light engulfed your body and every scrap of clothing you had been wearing disappeared. Loki, still fully clothed, hovered over you, caging you in and bringing his face within inches of yours.
"Now let's go over the rules, shall we?" he trailed, his voice dripping with lust and power, "Rule number one, you will refer to me only as Sir. You will not call me by my name unless and until I command it. Understood?"
"Yes, Sir," you gasped, barely audible over the hammering of your own heart.
"Good girl." He reached a hand down and began stroking your breast, eventually rolling a nipple between his thumb and forefinger. "Rule number two, you will do as I say, without question or hesitation. I do not like to repeat myself. Am I clear?"
"Crystal, Sir," you barely suppressed a moan.
"And finally, rule number three..." You whimpered as he tweaked your nipple, hard. "...You do not come until I give you my express permission. I decide whether and when you will have your pleasure, isn’t that right, pet?” his lips curved into a wicked grin as he finished reminding you of the last rule.
“O-of course, Sir,” you gulped, anxiously and eagerly awaiting his next move.
"Now, do you remember your safe word, darling?" his eyes momentarily softened as he asked you, ever your loving and devoted husband, making sure you knew you were safe and loved.
"Yes, Sir. Red," you assured him with a breathy whisper.
"Good." The fleeting moment of softness had passed, his expression shifting back to one of unrelenting dominance, emerald eyes alight with thoughts of the diabolical plans he had for you. "Let's begin."
His hand rose from your breast up over your collarbone to its final destination around your neck, giving it a firm squeeze as he captured your lips in a ferocious kiss; it was all tongues and teeth as he invaded your mouth, claiming what was his with urgency. Eventually, he allowed you to catch your breath and he trailed his lips down your jawline, to suck and nip at your pulse point as you lay there panting.
"I want you to kneel on the bed, facing the headboard." he rasped against your ear before rising up off the bed to allow you the room to move into position.
You wasted no time, scrambling up so you could obey him and avoid furthering your punishment. As you were twisting around and adjusting yourself into the perfect submissive kneel, you caught a glimpse of him removing his dark emerald sweater, leaving him in the white button-down he was wearing underneath, those damn dark wash jeans, and his socked feet.
He leisurely strode towards the head of the bed and turned to face you, unbuttoning the cuffs of his shirt and beginning to roll up the sleeves to his elbows. You bit your lip, the sight of his forearms flexing as he manhandled the garment enough to send a fresh pool of arousal to your core.
"Hands in front of you, wrists together," he commanded.
As you did so, he conjured a bit of black silken cord -- enough to bind your wrists together tightly while leaving some extra hanging on either side of the intricate knot. Once he was satisfied that the rope would keep you sufficiently restrained, he turned to reach into the nightstand where you kept your toys for nights such as this. You could hear the familiar metallic clink of chains bumping into each other as he pulled a toy out of the drawer. The clamps.
"We haven't played with these in a while, pet," he said with a devilish snarl. "I want you to feel them sway and tug every time I strike that perfect ass of yours."
You couldn't help the whimper that escaped your lips at his words. "As you wish, Sir."
He worked your nipples into firm peaks before attaching the clamps to them. You hissed as they bit into your sensitive flesh, providing an intoxicating mix of pleasure and pain. Before you could fully adjust to the sensation, he was pulling on the extra cord that was hanging from your bound wrists and tying it to the top of the headboard. This forced you to bend forward, head between your arms, ass raised slightly - and presented perfectly - as you remained on your knees. The chain that connected the clamps swayed with your movement, tugging on your sore nipples with each sweeping arc, causing you to moan wantonly.
"Hmmm,” he hummed in approval as he situated himself beside you on the bed, one hand at the small of your back - a reminder to remain in position - the other rubbing and squeezing your bottom, the gentleness a stark contrast to the harsh stings you knew were to come. “My dirty whore of a wife seems to be enjoying herself, and I’ve barely begun,” he chuckled darkly. “You will count each strike aloud, and when I am finished, you will thank me for them. I think 10 strikes ought to do for tonight, pet. Oh, and do remember, you are not allowed to come.”
“Yes, Sir,” you groaned desperately. Before you knew it, the first strike hit your backside with a loud SMACK. Just as he had planned, the chain between your tortured nipples was swaying wildly. “One,” you squeaked.
His hand came down against your ass again, this time on the opposite cheek.
“Two, Sir.” You let out a shaky breath.
The next slap seemed to echo throughout the room.
“Ahhhh! Three, Sir!”
After the third smack, his hand caressed down your backside and his fingers dipped between your soft folds. “Ohh, love. We’re only three strikes in, and you’re absolutely soaking. Do you think you’ll make it?” he asked with feigned concern. You could do nothing but whimper in response. “Oh how I do love those pretty noises you make,” he crooned.
He resumed his work, each smack to your bottom bringing more pain than the last… and sending more arousal straight to your dripping core. After the seventh strike, he moved the hand that had been resting innocently at the small of your back to the chain that was dangling from your breasts and gave a sharp tug.
“Aaaauunnghhh! Please, Sir,” you moaned. Whether you were begging him to stop or to give you more, you didn’t know.
“Shhhhh, pet. Just three more, you’re doing so well for me.” As he soothed you with his words, he moved his hand from the chain to the apex of your thighs, and his fingers easily found your clit, peeking out from its hood and aching for attention. Your hips moved of their own accord, grinding against his hand, shamelessly searching for more friction. “Ah ah ahh, there will be none of that writhing, darling,” he reprimanded you gently. “You will take what I give you and nothing more.”
“Sorry, Sir, I’ll be still,” you promised with a high pitched whine.
He kept his fingers on your clit, lazily playing with the bundle of nerves as he delivered the last three smacks to your bottom. It was just enough to tease you and keep you wanting more, never enough to fully satisfy you. Your frustration was mounting at this point, but deep down you knew you shouldn’t have been so delusional as to hope he’d allow you your release so easily.
“Aren’t you forgetting something, pet?” he mercifully reminded you as he pulled his hand away from your sensitive bud, rubbing soothing circles on your ass cheeks with the same hand he just used to blister them.
“Oh, yes, of course. Thank you, Sir, for spanking me.” you managed to coerce your tongue into forming the words despite your frazzled brain.
“Such a good girl for me,” he cooed softly and with a snap of his fingers, the bindings disappeared and you collapsed forward onto the bed, limp and spent, but unbearably aroused. He quickly was at your side, and gently helped you to roll over onto your back. Finally, you could see his stunningly beautiful face again. His features had settled back into those of your loving husband, warmth and softness radiating from within. Stroking your cheek gently with his thumb, he bent down to capture your lips in a passionate kiss that sent a fire straight to your core.
Loki diligently massaged your wrists and shoulders, helping to soothe the ache from your restraints; he then moved his attention to your breasts. “I’m going to remove these now, darling. One at a time. I know it will be intense but it will only last for a moment,” he whispered.
You winced and cried out as he removed each clamp, his warm mouth quick to softly caress each aching bud with his tongue and soothe the sting.
“What’s your color, Y/N?” he asked you gently, his gaze meeting yours, eyes swirling with concern and love for you — only you.
“Green, Sir. So Green.”
“Excellent.” His emerald orbs reignited with salacious promises and his lips twisted into a wicked grin. Gone again was the softness he had momentarily uncovered. “Then we’ll move into the next phase of your punishment.”
Bring it on, you thought to yourself, but all you managed outwardly was a cheeky smile.
He must have been losing patience for doing things manually, because with a flick of his wrist and a twirl of his elegant finger, more restraints appeared, securing you to the bed. This time, they were black fur-lined leather cuffs -- one around each wrist and one around each ankle. The leather straps connected to the cuffs ran across the mattress, off the sides, and under the bed, where they were secured. This ensured that you wouldn't be going anywhere, and that your legs were spread nice and wide for him; you couldn’t close them even if you wanted to. You also noted that your arms and shoulders were in a different position, not stretched over your head -- and he kept a small amount of slack so that you could adjust and rotate your shoulders if you needed to, so as not to strain your muscles to the point of pain. Your husband thought of everything.
As he strode once again to the night stand and began looking for the toy he needed for your next wave of delicious torment, you noticed his prominent manhood straining against his tight jeans, and you couldn’t help but smile to yourself knowing the effect you had on him. Your smile quickly melted away into a mixture of primal lust and shaky nerves as you saw what he pulled out of the drawer, though. The magic wand and the large glass dildo.
“Now, pet, I’ve got to go downstairs and take care of something,” he began as he set the glass dildo down on the bench at the foot of the bed, within easy reach, and clicked the wand on to the lowest setting. “I shouldn’t be gone for more than ten minutes, but I wouldn’t want you getting bored in my absence, so this should keep you occupied while I’m gone.” He placed the wand firmly against your throbbing clit and you couldn’t suppress the wanton moan that escaped your lips at the feeling. It would never be enough to give you release on this setting, it would only tease you and amplify your arousal, but damn if it didn’t feel so good. A wave of emerald light surrounded the wand, and you immediately knew he had enchanted it so that it would remain in place, no matter how much you bucked and squirmed. There was also no doubt in your mind that it would disappear immediately should you utter your safe word — the restraints, too, probably. You were always safe with him, even if he left you alone in the room to bask in the sweet torture he inflicted on you.
His hungry eyes raked over your naked body — bound and writhing — and his gaze met yours with a sinister smile before he departed the bedroom to head downstairs.
It felt like the longest ten minutes of your life. The wand was unrelenting, keeping you dangling on the edge of release, but never allowing you to fall over into bliss. No matter how you tried to grind your hips to increase the friction just enough to topple you over the edge, it was no use. Loki’s enchantment kept the wand exactly where he wanted it.
So lost were you in the sensation and the struggle for your orgasm, that you didn’t notice when he returned. That is, until the wand disappeared with a snap of his fingers, causing you to whine at the loss and open your eyes to the sight of your breathtaking husband, leaning casually against the dresser with a mug of steaming hot beverage in his hand; he was drinking in the sight of you, so desperate for the release only he could grant you. His eyes were burning with lust.
“Aren’t you going to welcome me back, pet?” he asked with a teasing smirk.
The asshole.
“Welcome back, Sir,” you managed to mutter between pants.
“That’s more like it.” He took a large gulp of the hot liquid — hot cocoa, you guessed, based on the smattering of foam the swig left on his top lip — and you watched with curiosity as he seemed to hold it in his mouth without swallowing. Setting the mug down on the bench, he picked up the glass dildo that you had all but forgotten about. Your eyes widened when you saw a tinge of blue creep across the skin of his hand, the smooth surface of the glass covered in a blanket of frost.
Without warning, he thrust the icy glass cock into your sopping cunt, the cold surface against your warm inner walls intensifying every sensation as it moved and twisted inside you. The sharp cry that rang from your throat was one of both surprise and unabashed primal lust. You saw his Adam’s apple bob sinfully as he finally swallowed the steaming liquid that was in his mouth, just before he winked at you and lowered his lips to latch around your neglected clit.
“Ohhhhh, Sir, ye- yesssss.” The stark contrast of the frigid length inside you and his warm mouth sucking and lapping at your sensitive bud was nearly too much to handle. You had enjoyed the skilled labor of your husband’s silver tongue many times before, but this was something entirely different. You could barely catch your breath, let alone form a coherent sentence.
“Mmmm…” he moaned salaciously, sending vibrations directly to your core. The familiar coil in your belly was winding tighter, threatening to snap into an earth-shattering orgasm. Just… a tiny… bit… more…
“…’m gonna come, Sir!” You whispered between whimpers and pants.
But he stopped. The frosted dildo and his mouth were both removed from your core. You whined desperately, tears pricking at the corners of your eyes at the loss, your impending orgasm ebbing away.
“You didn’t think you’d get release so soon, did you? Naughty girls don’t get to come so easily.” Loki’s eyes were ablaze with a ravenous hunger; you could see his lips and chin glistening with your sweet nectar, the flickering light of the candle in the corner of the room dancing across his face now, as the sun had set since the start of your debauched activities. He bent down to kiss you, his lips and tongue unrelenting against yours; you moaned at the taste of your arousal on his lips.
As he pulled away, allowing you both to catch your breath, you saw him refrost the glass toy and reach again for the mug to take another swig of hot cocoa into his mouth. Before you could protest, both had resumed their delectable torment, the icy tip of the dildo circling your aching clit before dipping inside you and being replaced with his hot mouth.
“Please, Sir,” you pleaded as he fucked you with the cold, hard dildo and swirled his hot tongue around your bundle of nerves. He reached one hand up to your breast, rolling and tweaking a pebbled nipple before switching to pay the same attention to the other hardened peak. Within minutes, you were there again, you could almost taste your impending orgasm. And again he stopped.
“Ohhh, pet, you taste sweeter than this cocoa,” he huskily groaned. “And look at you, so needy and desperate for me. Do you want release?” You whimpered and nodded your head as urgently as you could manage. “If you come tonight, it will be on my cock. And I want you to beg for it.”
His clothes disappeared in a flash of green light, leaving the entirety of his glorious form bare to your gaze for the first time that night. You slowly raked you eyes across every inch of him, admiring the way his lean muscles rippled and flexed underneath his perfect skin as he moved, and counting your lucky stars that he was yours.
“Please, Sir, pleeeeease give me your cock. I need it. I need you. Please make me come, Sir.” you shamelessly panted and begged, desperate for him and for the sweet release only he could give you.
He hovered over you on the bed; you could feel his rigid length against your thigh, the tip angry and red. He was just as desperate for release as you were. Bracing his weight on one forearm, he snaked the other hand across your collarbone with a featherlight touch before it settled firmly around your throat as he kissed you hungrily. So lost were you in the passion of the kiss that you barely noticed as he lined himself up at your entrance. With one perfectly angled thrust, he finally entered you, filling you to the hilt. Your breath hitched against his mouth; no matter how many times you took him, the sheer size of him ensured that the first few strokes would always take your breath away.
“You don’t have to wait any longer, darling.” He rasped against your ear as he began to thrust, rutting his hips against you with each stroke, the wiry curls at the base of his cock brushing against your clit. “Don’t hold back, and I won’t stop this time. Let yourself go and let me hear you when you topple over into bliss. Say my name as you come.”
It didn’t take long at all for you to reach the precipice, the coil at the base of your abdomen tightening almost immediately after the edging you had already endured. You were a panting, moaning mess while he worshipped you, trailing wet kisses along your neck and collarbone. His rhythm was becoming sloppier, and you knew he was close too.
“Ohhh Loki, yes, YESSS!” you gasped as the coil snapped, your inner walls squeezing him like a vice as you finally came, the earth-shattering orgasm causing your entire body to shake. “Yes, Loki. Loki…” You chanted his name like a mantra.
Before you had come down from your high, he came too, spilling his hot seed into you with a grunt. “Who do you belong to, love?”
“You, Loki, only you.”
Once his load was spent, he collapsed on top of you, your sweaty skin sliding against his own. The restraints immediately disappeared and you wrapped your arms around him as you both panted, coming down from your highs together.
“I love you, my darling wife,” he murmured against your ear a few moments later, before he placed a chaste kiss to your lips and rose from the bed. “Now let me take care of you.”
“I love you too, Loki…” you trailed, your mind still swimming in euphoria.
Loki got up and tended to you, bringing you a glass of water and helping you sit up to drink it, the cold liquid refreshing your parched throat. Then, he cleaned up the mess between your legs with his seidr and lifted you off the bed, carrying you bridal style into the en-suite bathroom and lowering you gently into the bathtub that he had already filled with hot water and your favorite lavender bath oil. He knelt beside the tub and kissed you tenderly, his elegant fingers wrapping through your tousled hair, thumb brushing your cheek lovingly. How lucky you were that he was yours.
“I’ll go down and start a fire, my love,” he said, eyes brimming with adoration. “After you’re finished in the bath, come downstairs and I thought we could snuggle on the couch, enjoy some hot cocoa, and watch a movie. I know that’s your favorite thing to do in the winter.”
“You’re wrong about that, Loki.” His lips turned down into a frown at your words, his brows knitting together in confusion. With a beaming smile creeping across your face, you finished, “You’re my favorite thing to do in the winter.”

King of Second Chances
DomesticAvengers!Loki x Reader
Genre/Rating: tooth-rotting fluff with best friends to lovers
Description: Contrary to popular belief, Loki does have friends... just not on Asgard. Or Midgard. Except one.
Tumblr media
After the battle of New York, Frigga managed to convince Odin one last time to have mercy on his adoptive son Loki who recently found that out in his defense but in no way can explain his revenge hostile attempted takeover of Midgard aka Earth. Odin decided that if some time on Earth managed to teach Thor the lesson he needed to learn to be worthy of the hammer, then Earth should be able to do the same for Loki.
So until he proves that he's not the evil ego-maniac that's co-dependent on the lie his father told him about being destined for greatness when he was a peace offer child, Loki is to stay on Earth.
Specifically in Avengers Tower under close surveillance.
None of the team especially Clint and Natasha wanted him there but they couldn't trust him living on his own with some of his magic still intact. So down the hall from Thor's room soon became Loki's room and they all lived happily ever after. Sort of
"Loki did you eat my Poptarts?"
"And why would I eat those disgusting sugar-coated sandwiches?'
"Because you know I like them?"
"Out" Thor suddenly falls through a hole Loki created sending him back to his room.
Loki looked up at the vents to make sure Clint wasn't in them before relaxing back in his bed with the book before he was once again interrupted by a knock on his door. He rolls his eyes begrudgingly before swinging the door open with a wave of his hand.
"Hey, Loki..."
"Yes, Y/N," Loki says not caring to lift his head away from his book.
"Can I hide my pop tarts in here? Thor keeps eating them."
"And why would I do that?"
"Because I know you don't like them so Thor won't look for them here." Unable to argue with that, Loki shrugged.
"Very well. Hide them here"
"Yes!" you jumped onto his bed and hugged him tightly to you shocking the magical entity to his core.
"Thank you, Loki," you shock him again by giving him a light kiss on the cheek.
".... You're welcome"
This was the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Two years has gone by since then and while Loki is still not welcome back in Asgard he has regained almost all of his magical abilities, has been caught trying to go back twice, and with Frigga's help made his room in Avengers tower look almost identical to his chambers in the palace. One would say that he's gotten comfortable on Earth.
Loki still hides your Pop-Tarts in his room and several other things you don't want the team to see despite your room being one floor below his. The only ones who dare go in his room are you and sometimes Thor but he uses an illusion spell to make your stuff look like his so there is no suspense. You could have asked him to do that for your room but having some of your things in his room gives you the excuse to see him and everybody knows that. Except Loki of course.
After another successful mission with Natasha and her sister that she never mentioned until now you were back in Avengers Tower and you couldn't wait to tell your bestie all about it.
"LOKI!!!!" You burst through his door to find a towel around his waist and hair. His chest still had some water dripping down to a place that you didn't realize you'd want to see until now. Shit you're staring
"Um, I'll come back" You quickly closed the door and headed straight to the elevator. If anyone saw how you repeatedly pushed the close doors button they'd think you insane. You quickly went into your own room and let out the breath you had been holding only to open your eyes to-
"You know you were much cuter when you were afraid to knock on my door." You jumped holding your hand to your chest wishing your heart could just calm down but the man you just ran away from clearly transported to your room.
"I see you gained more of your magic back."
"One of my favorite tricks." Loki held up a bag of sweets. He patted the spot next to him on your bed and it was like you never left. You happily jumped into his arms. Let the celebration begin.
“So Agent Romanoff wasn’t alone before Barton came around. Interesting. Hit me” He opened his mouth and you gave him another caramel candy. Something you like to do when debriefing your missions with him is to eat sweets and comb his hair. He’ll never admit it but hearing your voice with your hands massaging his scalp made him feel like a King.
“I know right?! I can’t believe she’s been hiding that from us this whole time. I thought we’d run out of secrets in Avengers Tower by now. What about you?”
“Mm that feels nice” he whispered to himself not paying attention. You took a curl of his and wrapped it around your finger before yanking harder than usual.
“Ow!” He looked up at you
“Now that I have your attention what did you do while I was gone?” You held up your brush threateningly at him. Chuckling he laid his head back down in your lap closing his eyes without any sign of fear.
“I read, painted, slept, squabbled with my oaf of a brother, the usual.”
“Do you ever think the two of you will be as close as you were back then?”
“I’m not sure. I did try to kill him after all but he does try. I’ll give him that.”
“You tried to kill me too” You mumbled
“You’re different.”
“How different?” You continue brushing his hair slowly. Like a cat he purrs.
“You are… kind in a way that’s admirable and naive yet you hunt people for a living. It’s confusing.” You gently take his head in your hands staring right into his emerald green eyes.
“Are you saying I should consider a new career path?”
“I’m saying you are the most dangerous being in the nine realms.” He whispered.
“And your best friend” You whispered back coming a little closer.
“My only friend” The two of you smile at each other.
“Jarvis please tell me you got that” The two of you sat up quickly embarrassed that you’d been caught by Tony in what would look like two lovers staring into each others eyes even though you were nothing more than friends. Right? Without a thought you chased Tony all around the tower with your brush desperately trying to get that footage of the two of you.
Unsure of when it started Loki realized that the beautiful friendship that once was had blossomed into something else entirely. He was bound to mess it up but he knew you’d give him a second chance. He is the king of those after all and you are worth all the chances he can get.
A/N: Happy Loki day! I was supposed to post this the other day but I didn’t know what I wanted to write yet. Thanks for your patience. There’s more to come!

Dandelions
Tumblr media
Pairing: Loki x Reader
Summary: Having heard stories about the Norse god of mischief, you find yourself falling in love with Loki despite having never met him. Out of devotion, you prepare offerings that you think he would like, and find ways to express the way you feel. Little do you know that your feelings are not unrequited.
(Yes, this is fluff inspired by the song "Dandelions" by Ruth B)
Maybe it was the way that you said his name. Or maybe it was the way that you offered your love for him to claim.
Loki watched from the Bifrost, looking down as you went about your day on Midgard. It was almost time for one of his favorite moments of the day. A moment for which he would set all of his affairs on Asgard aside, instead turning his attention to you and only you, his Midgardian devotee.
Standing in the field three blocks away from your apartment, you adjusted your heavy coat and picked up a small, whitish-yellow flower, bringing it up to your lips. 
You closed your eyes and whispered,  "Loki, the son of Odin and the companion of Thor." 
And then you blew the dandelion, sending its seeds into the wind. When you opened your eyes, you placed the stem down and picked up another flower, invoking Loki again with a whisper. 
"Loki, the son of Odin and the companion of Thor." 
Reader POV: 
According to something you had read on the internet, the dandelion was known as Loki's Bloom. Since then, you began making a small habit of picking up the dandelions and blowing them in his name. You would do anything to bring the Norse God of Mischief into your life, despite some scholars saying that he was actually someone who shouldn't be wanted. 
The truth is that you nurtured a deep affection for Loki, ever since you had first read the stories about him and heard legends of his exploits from many an online scholar. You weren't sure what you loved the most about him: his cleverness, his intelligence, his playful nature, or his handsomeness (almost everyone in the stories- gods and goddesses and humans - described him as very good-looking). He was already one of the greatest heroes you'd ever believed in, even though you had never seen him in your life.
You began to create your own version of Loki, who soon became a source of comfort in your hectic, often anxiety-inducing life. He was a tall man with beautiful features: dark hair because it appealed to you the most, pale skin due to the climate, green eyes, and slender fingers that made every touch feel like magic. And he always knew the right thing to say at every moment, whether it was a witty remark that made you laugh or soothing words that eased your fears. 
You found often yourself dreaming about your Loki at night. Sometimes he was dining with the other gods in Asgard, sometimes he was riding upon a horse, sometimes he was conjuring spells and illusions in the Nine Realms, sometimes he was enticing a new lover into his bed, and sometimes he was in solitude, enjoying a piece of literature.
"Loki, the son of Odin and the companion of Thor," you silently wished when you opened your eyes and held your pillow close. "Grant me a companion with your wit, your mischief, your bewitching nature. If not you, then let me have someone just like you in my life."
And as your love for Loki grew stronger with every new facet you learned about him, you began looking for ways to show your affection for the god. A voice inside you said that Loki - a god living in Asgard or Jotunheim - might never pay attention to you, just another human, but…it felt good to be doing things for someone who had brought you such sweet dreams. And because you simply adored him. 
For months, you experimented with new recipes for cookies, breads, and cakes after reading an article about how the Norse God of Mischief enjoyed sweet offerings. Thanks to his blessings, most of them turned out delicious. After expressing your gratitude to Loki, you would whisper his name and present the dishes up as if offering it to him. Though he might never see or taste it, it still felt wonderful to perform acts of love in his name. 
Other things you did for Loki included reading aloud stories to him, saving digital photos of artwork you thought Loki would like, and most recently, wishing on dandelions. Wishing on dandelions for someone you might never see outside of dreams.
Back to Loki's POV: 
If only you knew the truth, my dear, Loki thought to himself. You were wrong to think that Loki did not know about the way that you felt about him. That he did not notice all the gestures that you performed to show him that you belonged to him. 
Loki tilted his head, and watched you with a smile. He had never known anybody like you, so devoted to pleasing him. He relished the fragrances of the baked delicacies you prepared in his name, the way you wafted the scent towards the heavens so that he could enjoy them. He was amused when you created a form for him to assume, one that made you fall in love with him even more. He was delighted by how fervently you wished for a companion just like him.
And now here you were, standing in a field of dandelions, wishing for the same thing. 
Knowing there was only one thing to do, Loki closed his eyes. 
When he opened them, he stood at the same field of dandelions where he'd seen you earlier. Lost in your own thoughts, you were gazing at the setting sun after wishing on several dandelions. Loki invoked a magic spell that transformed himself into the handsome, green-eyed man with chin-length hair who captured your heart. He transformed his clothing into a long-sleeved green tunic, dark trousers, and a suit of black and gold armor. Then, Loki picked another dandelion and offered it to you.
"Will you not wish upon this one, my lady?" 
You turned around, and Loki smirked. He stepped forward and gently placed his hand upon your cheek, your lip trembling at his touch. 
"You wished for me, did you not? Here I am." Loki gently said, watching the shock upon your face morph into a smile. "If only you knew how powerful you are, sweet one. You have brought a god at your mercy with your acts of love."

golden frames and watercolor (headcanons of a museum date with Loki)
Timeline: after Thor Ragnarok
TW: no one
Pairing: Loki x female!y/n
Note: I always thought about Loki being fascinated by human art and poetry, so what is going to happen If you decide to bring him to a museum date? Let's see 🎨
Tumblr media
he's so curious when you tell him that you've organised something special just for the two of us for the day
but he was offended when you revealed him that you paid for his ticket, he still has difficult to accept gifts event from you (but inside he's melting and he's so grateful)
when Loki leads you through the museum, his hidden malice is evident in the way he points out subtle details in the artworks
when you both pause in front of a surrealist painting, he offers an unconventional interpretation that leaves you both laughing
"My dear, look, the art of deception. These paintings tell stories, just like you and I."
"Hopefully, our story has a happier ending than some of these artworks."
always hold your hand as you navigate through the art-filled halls
when you find a hidden corner in the museum, Loki conjures a small illusion, and make the painting looks animated just for seeing your eyes shining in admiration
with his enchantments he deactivated the alarm and let you touch the canvas so you can feel the ancient texture
you can catch him looking silently at some little painting, realizing that even the God of Mischief can be captivated by simple beauty
"Loki, I never thought I'd see you admire a watercolor."
"Watercolor has a delicate beauty, much like... vulnerability. Don't tell anyone I said that."
he's mesmerized by all the golden frames full of baroques details, at the point he wants to buy some for himself
"Would you like me to buy one of these my dear?"
"LOKI THIS IS AN ORIGINAL FRAGONARD."
he might challenges you to a friendly competition of finding the most beautiful canvas (of course he's going to support only his opinion)
he definitely wraps his long coat around your shoulders as you both explore a section of the museum with a chill in the air
sometimes he whispering you how beautiful you are, just to making you smile and adding a bit of sweetness
"These paintings capture the essence of mortals and their fleeting emotions."
"Is that a hint of sentiment I detect, Loki?"
"Sentiment? No, just an observation. Though, I must admit, the company does add a certain warmth to the experience."
as you explore a contemporary art exhibit, Loki playfully mimics some of the avant-garde poses of the sculptures, making you laugh
spotting an interactive exhibit, Loki challenges you to a friendly game of art-related trivia, showcasing his extensive knowledge with a mischievous grin
when you both stumble upon a live art performance, Loki, appreciating the theatrics, subtly incorporates some magical effects to enhance the experience
If the museum has a VR art installation, and you insist on trying it together he's going to make fun of you because he thought it's something just for children, but then he's going to try it just for you
"I can do thousands times better with my magic, how could you enjoy such a simple thing? It's like a little TV too close to your eyes."
in a quiet moment he create with magic two sketchbooks and pencils, inviting you to sketching together, each capturing your unique perspectives on the exhibits
you come across a mirror exhibit, and Loki can't resist making a few illusions within the mirrors, creating a mesmerizing dance of reflections
"Loki, do you have a favorite piece so far?"
"Much like love, art is a complex emotion. But that landscape over there has a certain charm."
as the day comes to a close, Loki surprises you with a classic red rose and something bought at the art shop just for you, it's his way to thank you for the date together
the funny thing is that you bought something for him as well (probably a book of poetry) so it's a funny moment of you two exchanging gifts outside the museum
"But...you know dear, mixed with silence, there was a certain chaos inside this building."
"Are you referring to the art exhibition or our relationship?
"Perhaps both. Chaos keeps things interesting."
the results is that from that day, he started to bringing you to all most famous museums on Earth
That's it! 💚 As an artist this post came out straight from my heart, hope you enjoyed as much I did while I was writing it~

I know your not taking requests rn, but I think this would be a really good idea and I don’t want to forget.
So the reader is an aspiring author/artist, whatever u want. They always go to Loki for ideas and help articulating ideas/anatomy. Again, whatever.
One day he comes into their room, and sees the reader crying. When he finally calms the reader down enough to speak, he learns that the reader had accidentally knocked over their water bottle, spilling it on (device), and lost all their work.
Whatever happens next is up to you!
Again, I know your not taking requests rn, but I think it’s just a really cute idea and I’m going to kick myself if I start writing smthn other than the 12+ docs I have open.
Hope u have a great day! I really dont mind I’d u don’t do this, I just wanted to put it out into the abyss. 😁
Also, I absolutely love your stories, they are my only source of dopamine rn! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Heeeeeeey!!!!!!! Sorry this took me a minute to get to!!!!!! I have also had too many to keep up with hahaha but......I'm doing this!!! Thank you so much for sending me this, i hope i did it justice and i did ok, and thank you for all the love and support!! Your aaaaaamazing!!!! Here we go....
===================================
Let Me Help
Pairing: Loki x female reader
Warnings: crying, a disastrous anniversary, a broken computer..... and all the fluff imaginable
Summary: you are an aspiring author working on your first book, when an accident derails your plans...
A/n- graphics by @harlequin-hangout
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You grabbed your pen and paper, making sure to save your progress on your computer before scooting the chair back to hunt for your lover. You were writing your very first romance novel and you needed his perspective. When you began this endeavor he was nothing if not supportive, telling you how proud he was that you were doing what you loved, and offered his assistance with anything you needed, and to be honest you were more then grateful. Who better to ask advice from then a thousand year old God who has probably read every book in existence.
You walked into the living room seeing him settled in his chair, book in hand of course blowing on a cup of tea "Hello love, how is the writing coming?" He asked smiling up at you "Loki...when did you know you loved me?" You asked sitting on the ottoman in front of him "from the minute I laid eyes on you." He purred as you stared blankly at him making him laugh "ok, real answer." He said sitting up a bit "I would say it had to be our one year anniversary, do you remember?" He asked watching you "God Loki, that was the worst night ever." You laughed remembering that fateful evening.
You had just bought a brand new dress, emerald green silk that hugged every inch of you, pairing it with strappy black heels. You had had your hair and make up done professionally and made sure everything was perfect. Loki had come to pick you up, wearing your favorite suit that made you want to climb him like a tree, where you had set off for the evening, until one disaster after another hit in full force. First, as soon as you stepped outside a cab drove past a puddle spraying water all down your front making you gasp...loki had magicked you dry but it wasn't looking good. You made it to the restaurant finding they were out of half the menu when a waiter past by with a flaming you didn't know what and got to close to your hairspray coated hair igniting it, causing you to panic when another waiter dumped a bucket of water over your head.
You sat back at the table as Loki stared at you wide eyed "Darling, did you want to call it a night?" He asked standing up "no, no its ok. Its over let's....just enjoy dinner." You smiled seeing him slowly sit down. "Are you certain? We can go out another time." He smiled grabbing your hand. "It's our anniversary Loki, I'm fine." You smiled again. You were not going to let whatever was going on mess this up. But the evening wasn't done with you yet. You broke a heel walking to the bathroom making you trip and rip your dress, the sink in the bathroom broke spraying water in your face. Anything that could go wrong did as you sat back down at the table, the waiter bringing your food setting Loki's down in front of him, about to do the same with yours as he tripped sending it into your lap.
So there you were, dripping wet, makeup long gone, your hair a singed mess covered in food as you looked up seeing Loki looking at you with a softeness in his eyes "let me help." He said, waving his hand a green mist traveled down you, righting everything as you sighed. "Thank you Loki." You smiled at him. "Anything for you my love." He said grabbing your hand he pushed his plate between you "allow me." He said digging his fork into his food bringing it to your lips. "I cannot tell you how much I adore you love." He said smiling making your face heat up. The rest of the night going more smoothly.
"Well that can't be, I was an entire mess." You laughed looking at him. "No my dear, you were like a valkyrie facing battle. And no matter what happened, or what the evening threw at you you would not allow it to deter you, to ruin our special evening." He said leaning forward "I knew then that you my dear had the spirit of a warrior, with the heart and patience of a saint." He said cupping your cheek "and I couldn't picture the rest of my life without your light in it." He said leaning forward kissing you gently. "Lokiii...." you blushed as he pulled back smiling "is there anything else you would like to know my love?" He asked rubbing your cheek "no, I think I got it, thank you love." You said pecking his lips as you got up. "Anything for you love." He said sitting back picking his book back up.
You walked to the kitchen grabbing a bottle of water before heading back to the bedroom to continue your work, new ideas sprouting in your mind as you sat at the desk, popping the lid off your bottle you got to work.
Tumblr media
Loki looked up at the clock seeing it had been several hours since he last saw you. Usually you would have come out to hunt for snacks or a drink but he hadn't seen you since that afternoon. He set his book down slowly standing up stretching as he made his way to the bedroom, expecting to find you asleep on your computer as he had several times before. He reached up grabbing the knob hearing a whimper come from inside "Darling.." he said walking in seeing your cheeks a deep red, your eyes puffy and red as tears spilled down your beautiful face, what had happened since he saw you last.
"Darling, what's the matter? What happened?" He asked as he saw the towel in your hand, reaching up trying to wipe the keyboard "i...l..loki....i...." your voice soft and strained, his heart aching hearing you sound so broken. He rushed over kneeling in front of you. "Take a deep breath love." He said rubbing your arm as another round of sobs broke his heart "i...I d..dropped m...my w...water..." you said through broken sobs pointing at the computer, loki looking over seeing the screen black as you covered your face with your hands "oh darling." He said pulling you forward wrapping his arms around you, rubbing your back as you cried into his shoulder "just breath love, it's ok" He said holding you tighter.
You pulled back looking at him, the site making his heart hurt as you wiped your face "a...all of my work...." you trailed off looking at the blank screen "it's.....gone loki....a...all gone." You said, a new wave of sobs wracked through you. He pulled you into his lap, rocking you back and forth as the sobs slowly quieted to soft snors. He looked down seeing you had cried yourself to sleep in his arms. He looked at the computer sighing as he slowly looped his arm under your legs, genlty standing as to not wake you He carefully walked to the bed laying you down pulling the blanket up around you hearing you sniffle. He pushed your hair back seeing the tear lines streaking down your cheeks making his heart clench in his chest, they had no business being on your beautiful face.
He waved his hand over you, the lines disappearing in a green flash as he leaned down kissing your cheek "I love you darling." He whispered against your skin hearing you groan as he stood, turning back to the computer. He stode towards it, taking the seat that you had been in staring at the black screen, he had no idea if he could fix it, he hadn't tried to fix these Midgardian devices before, turning when he heard you sniffle again seeing you had shifted but still sleeping. He turned back around, hovering his hands over the keyboard he closed his eyes, summoning his seidr as he concentrated on the task...to help you. As his hands glowed green he hoped he could do this for you, after everything you had done for him.
Tumblr media
You woke to a pounding behind your eyes, groaning you rolled over to hug Loki but were met with cold sheets...and no Loki. You popped your head up as confusion swirled in your mind, looking over seeing his side hadn't been slept in. You dropped your head back to the pillow remembering what had happened, the water meeting the keyboard as the screen went black. The pit in your stomach returning remembering all your work was gone...in the flash of an eye everything you had put into it vanished. You rubbed your eyes trying to relieve some of the pain sitting up. You had two options, either give up, or start again, and with as much as you had written that was a discouraging thought.
You opened your eyes, confusion hitting you seeing Loki slumped over at the desk, his arms tucked under his head as he softly snored. "What the.." you started when you looked up seeing the computer screen on. You jumped up, stumbling over the blanket as you ran over, seeing your words written in black and white on the screen making you smile. It wasn't gone....you looked down at your sleeping God, gently brushing his hair back seeing his nose twitch. He looked so peaceful like this, so carefree. You carefully leaned down pressing a kiss to his cheek hearing him groan "no mother, I don't want to go to the tutor today." He said furrowing his eyebrows making you giggle. Apparently not wanting to go to school was a universal thing.
"Loki, my love wake up." You said genlty shaking him "no, I'm not doing get help." He groaned confusing you "umm Loki, your sleeping love, wake up." You said nudging him a bit harder when his eyes slowly opened "mm hello darling, what.." he trailed off slowly sitting up seeing he was at the desk "I'm sorry love I must have fallen asleep." He said rubbing his eyes "Loki, did you do this?" You asked pointing to the computer "oh, yes. You were so heartbroken I wanted to help, so I used my seidr and luckily I was able to get it working again, I started reading what you had and I must have dozed off. It is quite good love." He said smiling up at you.
"Oh Loki." You said jumping into his lap wrapping your arms around his neck hearing him laugh "Thank you so so so much! I can't..." you said "I was gonna have to start over, but you..." you trailed off pulling back to look at him "my savior. What can I do to repay you?" You asked smiling at him "Well, there are a few things I could think of." He said winking making you laugh. "I can't thank you enough Loki, this....you are utterly amazing" you said running your fingers through his hair. "To help you my love, I would do anything." He said cupping your cheek. "I love you Loki." You said looking deep into his eyes "and I love you my little warrior. Now, about that payment" He said making you laugh as he picked you up carrying you towards the bed "anything for you love." You said as he laid you down.

Peter Parker x Reader
Peter starts noticing tiny things about the way you behave around your family, well one person in particular, and it makes him worry
Warnings⚠️: allusions of abuse, angst? (kinda but not really)
Masterlist
̶̶̶̶ ̶«̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶ ̶̶̶ ̶«̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ Requests open  ̶»̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶ ̶̶̶ ̶»̶ ̶̶̶ ̶ ̶
"Peter. No."
"But, y/n-"
"No."
"It's tru-"
"Peter, no, it's not!" a laugh escapes before you can fully finish your sentence. "It's not ok."
"Yes, it is. It'll be fine."
"You can't do that, Peter."
"Yes, I can, especially when I live with him."
"I'm sorry, isn't that a type of fraud? Spiderman?"
"Not when his credit card info is programmed into my phone."
"First, that means nothing, and second, why are his credit cards programmed into your phone?" you raise your eyebrow and pull away from him slightly.
"That," Peter leans closer, pushing your back into his mattress, hovering over you with a smile, "is none of your concern."
"Ok!" you scramble and sit up, "Mr. Parker. No! I am not letting you buy me a new mattress with Tony's credit card."
You're in Peter's room, laid in his bed, and he's trying his best to convince you to let him buy you a mattress since yours quoted "feels like laying on needles attached to springs," and he would rather sleep on the table Tony builds his suit parts, which he's done before.
"Ok. Well, as amazing as this conversation is," you stand up, "I gotta go. My brother is coming back from his 2-week trip, so my family wants to have dinner, blah, blah, blah, I have to be there," you turn and put your coat on, starting to grab your stuff.
"Wait," Peter pouts and whines, leaning to wrap his arm around your waist and pull you back toward the bed, your knees hitting the edge of his bed. "I wanted to spend time with you."
"I'll come back after this weekend, Pete," you assure him.
"Why don't I just come with you?" he offers.
"Oh? Now you want to spend a weekend on my bed of springs?"
Peter sighs. "If it means being with you," he smiles, "I'll do anything."
"Anything? Even take the offer of cleaning Thor's room again?"
Peter's smile falls. "You promised you'd never mention that again."
~~
About an hour later, you and Peter walk into your apartment. Your brother is laid on the couch in front of the tv, not giving you a second glance. You don't doubt that your parents are somewhere wandering around, and you know you'll run into them at some point.
Your parents have met Peter on multiple occasions, but he's never really been around them as much as he will be this weekend, and you both know that, but you look forward to it.
"Oh, hey, glad you're home," your mom smiles as you pass her in the hallway. You stop in front of your door, turning to her.
"Hey. Is it ok for Peter to spend the weekend here too?" you ask.
"Yeah, course." She pauses and turns to you and Peter. "Oh! Peter, here. That guy from earlier dropped this," she hands him a dagger. "I wanna believe that's something normal and say you can leave it here, but after the situation with the last glowing object you left here, I don't think that'd be wise," she says, nodding at him and continuing her way toward the kitchen.
You look confused. "Is that Loki's dagger?"
"It's his traveling open he uses to open boxes," Peter mumbles and sticks it in his pocket.
"Wait- why was he here-"
"And keep your door open!" your mom yells as she rounds the corner.
You give a defeated sigh and head nod. "There it is."
"We both knew that was coming," Peter laughs. You laugh and shake your head, momentarily dropping the dagger conversation and turning to open your door and go into your room. When you push the door open, the first thing you see, is a large new mattress in the corner of your room. "Oh, yeah. And I may have had Loki deliver an Asguradian mattress for you," Peter says from behind you.
"Peter!" You can't even be upset you're so surprised, plus the mattress looks really comfortable. "How'd you even get him to agree to this?"
"He owed me after I helped him cover up the fact he lost one of Thor's goats for three hours," he shrugs. Peter moves past you, walking into the room and flopping down on his back on your bed. "Asgardian beds are the most comfortable in the universe, made specifically for comfort and durability," he groans. "It's the same Thor got for Jane when they first started dating."
You raise your eyebrow and cross your arms. "Are you implying something?"
Peter raises his head, his voice cracking. "No."
You roll your eyes and walk over to him, sitting on the bed. "Oh wow, this is comfortable."
After a few minutes, your mom calls from the kitchen that dinner is ready. You and Peter leave your room to join the rest of your family in the kitchen.
"Ew, what's he doing here," your little brother whines.
"Hi, Marcus," Peter laughs.
"I don't like you," Marcus squints his eyes at him.
"Yeah, I know."
Everyone starts getting food, Dre, your older brother, first, followed by Marcus, and then you step up. Peter watches you pile your plate, waiting for you to finish.
Your dad comes up behind you, ready to get his own plate. Something deep in Peter's mind goes off, his sense telling him something, but he doesn't know what. He stands at a distance, watching you. It's slight, but he sees how you stiffen, quickening your speed of getting your food the tiniest amount. Weird.
He keeps watching, but before he knows it, you're finished, turning to him with a smile and heading to sit at the table. "Hey," Peter gets his food and slides in the seat next to you, lowering his voice, "you alright?"
You look up at him from your plate, slightly confused but smiling. "Yeah," you nod, melting away the ounce of worry he had, making him drop the topic.
Later, you and he get ready for bed. He watches as you remove your shirt and replace it with one of his t-shirts. "You're sleeping in that?" Peter asks, his brows slightly frowned from confusion.
"Yeah, why?" you ask, flopping down on the bed next to him.
"Oh, um, no reason," he shakes his head, smiling and shrugging, dropping the topic, letting you climb into his arms.
Peter distinctly remembers you saying you didn't like sleeping in any shirt that didn't have thin straps. He remembers how you'd said you'd love to sleep in his clothes but didn't cause you knew you couldn't get comfortable in a regular shirt or hoodie, plus you overheat. You never wore regular t-shirts -or clothes at all- when you spent the night with him at the tower.
Why now?
~~
In the morning, you wake before Peter. Mornings have always been your favorite. You get to lay in Peter's arms, warm and happy, listening to Peter's slow breathing and tranquility running through the room. Perfect.
However, one thing about the mornings is you usually have to separate from your perfect bed to use the bathroom. No matter how much you don't want to or you want to stay with Peter, this morning is no different.
Peter knew your routine, so when you pull from his light grasp, he lets you go, watching as you get up, dressed in only one of his t-shirts, and walk into the hallway toward the bathroom.
He waits for you, rubbing his eyes and stretching some, laying on his back with his arms out, waiting for you to come back and climb into them. Peter loves you. He loves you so much he knows your heartbeat rhythm, the sound of your footsteps, your breathing, everything about you he's memorized and could find you in the snap of a second even if he's in a crowd.
Because of that, while you're on your way back from the bathroom, when your heart rate picks up, your breath hitching for a moment he gets slightly worried. But what could've happened? He can tell it's only your family in the apartment. Nothing seems off. Why'd you get startled?
He couldn't come up with a valid reason before you appeared back into the room, immediately crawling on the bed and into his arms, curling up on top of him and tucking your face in his neck. If he didn't know any better, he'd think you were fine, but Peter knows you, he can feel your hands shaking, and you're holding onto him far too tightly for him to look past it.
When you cuddled up to him, he wrapped his arms around you. Even tho he doesn't know why you're scared, he still wants to comfort you, holding you close to his body. "Hey, you alright?" he mumbles, pressing his lips against your forehead.
"Mhm, fine. Wanna sleep a bit more," you say, shutting him down before he even had a chance and snuggling closer to him, closing your eyes and ready to slip back into sleep.
Later in the day, everything seems normal. You're your normal self, but Peter knows something's off. There's something he's missing.
"Pete, do you want a sandwich?"
"Yeah, sure."
You top off the last bit of ham on your sandwich, putting bread on top, and then move on to make Peter's sandwich. Peter watches you from the couch, deciding to get up and stand with you. He leans against the refrigerator about five feet from you, watching as you move around the counter to make his meal. He can't help but smile.
Your dad enters the kitchen, coming to make his own lunch. He walks next to you, standing at the counter and beginning his lunch. In Peter's opinion, he's standing a little extra close than needed, but he brushed it off. His brushing it off doesn't last long cause, again, he can hear your heart rate elevate and see you tense and start holding your breath.
Without a second thought, Peter pushes from his spot, smoothly sliding between you and your dad, acting as if he's only grabbing the sandwich you made for him, turning his head to give you a comforting smile. You look over your shoulder, smiling and handing him the plate.
The actions are innocent, but Peter picks up on how you lean into his touch when he lays his hand on your waist, how you slowly exhale, and the tension in your body evaporates. In your mind, you don't know if what Peter's doing is on purpose, but you're happy he's doing it. You never told him what always went on. You never made a big deal about it, but the little acts make you happy. They settle your nerves.
Peter fully wraps his arm around your waist, letting his hand rest on your stomach as he pushes to move you away from the area and back to the couch where you originally were. Again, you don't say anything, acting like it's all normal. When you sit down, you smile and begin talking about the show you'd put on the tv, and Peter doesn't have the heart to stop you and really ask what happened.
It’d take everything in him to change the subject cause he knows something's up. He knows he should ask and get to bottom of what it is cause he can't keep sitting around and watching. He knows he should, but he just can't. For now, all he can do is keep you happy and protected from whatever it is. Cause he just can't bare to do anything else.

Julian loki x reader oneshot
Sweethearts~
Note: this is part two!
I had completely forgotten about this oneshot lol sorry 😞 it's a little short but it's sweet not proofread!
Part 1
You waited patiently for your train, the sky was clouded and it was quite cold. Winter was coming to an end though, you smiled, grasping the fabric of your loose coat. The tip of your nose was pinkish from the cold, your scarf dancing along with your hair in the wind. It felt like time had stopped, winter had a particular feeling, like it took you out of this world, gently closing your eyes you enjoyed your last few minutes before the train arrived.
Someone walked to your side, standing next to you, while you didn't mind the person at all, if only you turned your gaze at him. You looked down slightly, spotting familiar mittens. You looked up to the person's face, both of your gaze crossing, your mouth was slightly agape while time stopped for the two of you. But after a little bit, you smiled "bien le bonjour, il semble que nos chemin se croisent de nouveaux ( greeting, it seems our paths cross once again)" you said with a gentle voice, offering him a closed eyed smile. "Il semblerait bien que oui, si je peux me permettre de vous demandez ou vous vous rendez sur un dimanche matin ( it seems so yes, if i may permit myself to ask you where you are headed on a sunday morning)" you giggled slightly, putting your hand over your mouth "je vais simplement acheté quelques petits trucs ( i simply going to buy a few things)" he returned your gentle smile, his cheeks covered with a reddish pink, probably from the cold, he slightly looked down "je vois, j'aimerais vous demandez....votre numéro s'il.vous plaît (i see,.i'd like to ask....for your number please ?) Your eyes slightly widened, but smiled nonetheless. "Évidemment (of course)" you handed him a small paper, but before he could thank you, you had already gotten on the train, while he stood there, clenching slightly in the small paper, smiling to himself. You leaned against the back of your seat, smirking to yourself, who knows ? Maybe he will send you a message ? You wanted to see how this would end.
You looked outside the trains window, the snowflake decorating the sky, the sun wasn't out but it was a beautiful view.
Ding!
You looked towards your phone screen, reading;
Unknown number as sent you a message!
You unlocked your phone, smiling at what you recieved
Tumblr media Tumblr media
You out your phone face down on your lap, while you kept looking outside, it was mesmerizing. An announcement was made, your stop was approaching, you prepared to get off, knowing the train was about to be filled with people. When you did reach your stop, you got off but before heading towards the store you opened your phone, clicking on julian number;
Julian Loki's name has been changed to sweetheart!
You smiled to yourself, starting your walk to the closest store....

Chapter 1- An Audition
A simple peasant in Vanaheim is forced to audition to be the concubine of the infamously detestable Loki of Asgard in tribute for Odin’s continued protection. Taking advantage of a lost cause, you decide to take the lessons of your aunt, a temple priestess to the goddess of love, to Asgard in order to seduce the prince in an attempt to win freedom for your people.
Pairing: Prince Loki x Concubine!Reader
Rating: 18+ ONLY (Minors DNI)
Content Warning: Threat and mentions of assault, eventual smut, indentured servitude and sex slavery, mean people being mean, violence, executions, more warnings likely to come
Tumblr media
By the Will of Odin the Allfather, King of Asgard, 
The Vanir Village of Borgund has been selected to offer this season’s tribute of peace, in the form of an approved maiden of proper age and prerequisite to be conscripted into the harem of Prince Loki. An acceptable maid must be a virginal daughter with no marriage prospects, of suitable beauty, and possess a humble, modest demeanor. 
Two Asgardian representatives will be at your gates one month hence to approve of and collect the tribute maiden. If one has not been selected by the village before their arrival, your property will be seized, and Borgund will instantly be selected to provide the next three tributes.
Tumblr media
The Vanaheim sky was a canvas covered in indigo ink as you crept your way out of the village you called home towards the Temple of Freyja, where you knew your aunt would be keeping worship for the night. The sound of silence made your ears hollow, but even with the haunting lack of senses helping you along your path, you had no trouble tracing the familiar steps to the temple. 
You had to make sure no one heard you as you snuck out of your small cabin in the center of the village. You knew the local toadies were informed of your conscription, and likely would’ve tried to snatch you for a small ransom, but luckily, you were swift and easily slipped past them. 
Tonight was your last night in Borgund before the Asgardians came for you. Earlier today, the wonderful, generous people of your village had selected you for the Snake Prince Loki’s “slut collection” (as you so bitterly called it). Every girl of the correct age and qualifications was forced to audition before the village elders (who, of course, were three men with no daughters in the race themselves). You were poked, prodded, and forced to parade before the men entirely naked while the healers vouched for your virginity and modesty. 
After hours of debate and being forced to wait in a small room with every other candidate, you were selected. You weren’t told why, You were far from the most attractive girl in town. In fact, you were usually satisfied keeping to yourself, which in turn, made some of the villagers suspect you as someone ‘odd.’ 
I should have painted myself with mud, you thought as your feet carried you to the temple appearing now in a small clearing through the trees. Perhaps I can claim a vow of celibacy for some lesser God.
As you approached the Temple of Freyja, you saw a middle-aged man, handsome for his fifty-some-odd years, leaving with a coat slung over his shoulder. Your aunt, wrapped in a silk dressing gown, was seeing him off. The man looked fine until you approached, after which he averted his eyes quickly and darted around you, which you found odd. 
“Oh, Y/N! I was hoping you’d visit this evening!” your Aunt Ing called from the threshold. 
You felt a warm blush creep up your cheek. “I wish you’d tell me beforehand if you had a worshipper. It’s the Altar of the Goddess of Sex, after all.”
Aunt Ing smiled warmly and shrugged. “You could still take vows and join me here. All the pleasures of Freyja’s gifts without the commitment or servitude that comes with marriage.”
“Oh, were it possible!” You shook your head. “Aunt Ing…they picked me today. For The Snake’s personal whorehouse.”
Your aunt’s smile fell away faster than water rolling off an oiled surface. “Oh, my dear! Come in, I’ll make us drinks.”
“Good, I need a beer,” you murmured, rubbing your temple, trying to get rid of the stress headache quickly building under your skin. 
Your Aunt lived in the Temple as its shrine hostess and priestess. Her small but tidy room was behind the front altar in the chapel, so it always reeked of floral incense and old burnt sacrifices. You didn;t mind. You were essentially alone in the world aside from your deceased father’s younger sister. 
“What made them pick you?” Ing asked after sitting you down in her meager quarters in the temple, putting a stein of rich, dark beer in front of you. You took a large gulp before answering. 
“They didn’t say,” you finally replied. “They examined me…thoroughly.”
Aunt Ing nodded in sad sympathy. “I know they do. Asgardians may be richer, but they are barbaric warlords who know nothing of love or peace.”
“They take and take from us,” you agreed meekly. “It was awful! All of it!” 
Aunt Ing looked at you. “Would you like to tell me about it? Or would that only make things worse for you?” You weren’t exactly the type to draw a spotlight or steal a conversation, but talking through the worst of your life’s trauma usually helped you, especially if the attending ears belonged to your beloved Aunt. 
You regaled your horrific tale of the day’s events. You’d been lined up along with the nearly fifty-or-so other maidens of your village. The elders selected you for the Final Ten, after which you were physically assessed for shape, health, and of course, virginity. Bitterly, you allowed yourself to be violated. You knew the consequences of purposefully flunking an ‘audition.’ 
I have no choice, just like the rest of my people, you thought sadly. 
Once you were selected as one of the Final Five, you were forced to ‘sell yourself’ to the elders but touting your merits and talents. You did what you could. You tried to make yourself sound enthusiastic about being chosen, but purposefully left out anything of actual interest that may suit the Snake Prince of Asgard’s fancy.
When you were informed of your selection, your first thought was: where did I go right? Shit and piss! 
“I had the feeling they would take you if the Lottery ever came to Borgund,” Ing mused. 
“Why, Aunt?” you asked, hopelessness beginning to crawl into your voice’s soft soprano. 
“Your parents are gone,” Aunt Ing replied matter-of-factly. “You are lovely, intelligent, and have no attachments here other than with the crazy Temple Priestess up the hill. Of course they’d select you over someone with a family. Are you naive enough to never think the game would be rigged?”
This actually hadn’t occurred to you before. It began to make sense. “Aunt Ing, I’m so helpless!” you sighed. “What can I do?”
“I wish I knew,” Ing replied. “We are all under the Royal Thumb of Asgard here.”
You looked down at your stein, taking another massive drink. “Maybe I could run.”
Aunt Ing shook her head. “Where would you go? You have no wit for survival in the forests, dear.”
Harsh words they were, they were also true and you knew it. You were employed in Borgund as a tavern waitress, with no special skill set that would lend itself to a life on the lam. 
“So, what is some advice you COULD offer?” you asked. 
Ing thought for a moment. “He’s the Snake Prince of Asgard, so I imagine the quickest way to seduce him is by inflating his pride. Do not fall at his feet. He has enough women who do that every day for him, and you must stand out among them. Stand your ground, but insist that he is the most important part of your life and that you wish to know everything about him. If you can successfully walk the line between submission and subversion, the God of Mischief will be yours to use as you will,” she suggested. 
“Use?” you asked curiously. “What do you mean?”
“Prince Loki is known to reward those who he favors. If you could seduce him, standing out from the rest of the harem, then you could ask for anything you wanted.” Ing smiled, the intrigue in her idea lacing her words with heavy purpose. 
Suddenly, it clicked. “Then I can free Borgund!” you concluded, the wheels in your head finally turning full-tilt. 
“Oh, my child,” Ing said, laughing, “If you use the prowess that I know you have within you, you could free Vanaheim itself from its debt!”
“Oh Aunt! Do you really think I could?” you asked, your breath quickening with thrill as Ing’s scheme began to fall into place in your mind’s eye.
All of your life, you’d been told you were on the more ‘beautiful’ side of the scale, and that perhaps you had more than a small talent for musical instruments (you could play six of them avidly, and found it easy to try new ones whenever the occasion called). Other than those two compliments, you really hadn’t been told you would ever amount to much. Not that it bothered you. It never occurred to you to mind the lack of positive attention growing up. 
Ing took your hands in hers, looking into your eyes with excitement. “Yes, my niece! We must try!”
“But,” you said, pulling back, “What do I know about seduction? How to please a man who’s had every willing creature across the realms in his bed?”
“Y/N, you must give yourself more due. After all, you take after my side of the family, and I am the High Priestess of the Temple of Freyja. You don’t think I know a few tricks?”
“They will be here for me at dawn,” you answered. “How much can I learn before then?”
Ing twisted her thin lip, causing a dimple to sink in on her left cheek. “Perhaps I can teach you about sex first,” she said. “That will be the important thing, and your first and perhaps only chance to make an impact.”
“How do I do that when I’m a virgin?” you asked, pushing your now-empty beer stein forward. The topic of sex fascinated you, but like many other subjects, you weren’t particularly well-versed in it. 
Your aunt reached for the beer pitcher and topped off your stein. “Oh, when a maiden is involved, it’s a very special field to roam through. It’s more of an advantage than you think, especially with a man who loves power as The Snake does. Come, we don't have much time, but I have much to tell you before dawn!”
Tumblr media
“Oh! My Prince! Truly, no woman knows pleasure until she knows the love of a prince!”
“I’m hungry.”
Prince Loki withdrew himself from the strumpet underneath him and turned away from the brunette lying naked next to him in the mammoth four-poster bed in his chambers, who was attempting in vain to stay draped over his torso, anything to keep that skin-to-skin connection. Her partner had just rolled off of her after an exhausting roll about the sheets, and while she was basking in the afterglow, he was already distracted.
“Oh…” the girl said awkwardly, not knowing just how to respond to the non-sequitur. “I can have a slave bring us some--”
“--not necessary,” Loki interjected, swiftly getting to his feet, pulling out of the concubine’s grip once and for all. “Thank you for the romp, but I prefer eating alone. You may return to the harem quarters now.”
“But--”
“--I’d advise you to go with dignity, girl,” Loki hissed impatiently. “Remember your place.” 
The tiny concubine woefully bowed her head and scrambled off the bed, quickly wrapping herself in a robe and heading out for her walk of shame across the palace. 
Skinny little bird has the wit of a tablecloth, the raven-haired God thought to himself as he heard the small sobs whimpering from her as she scrambled to obey her master, shutting the door a little too forcefully behind her. 
He went over to the rope hanging by his bedside, pulling on it twice. Without fail, a plate of fruit and wine would be delivered within ten minutes.
“Norns,” he muttered to himself. “And another one arrives today,” he complained. 
He knew why his father was doing this, why he was throwing beautiful lovers at his son’s door night and day. Odin the Allfather feared that Loki would break his marriage treaty with Princess Ase of Alfheim for lack of sexual gratification implied within a forced match. Thus, Odin promised Loki as many lovers as he could handle as long as he vowed to keep his betrothal. Loki, being an adolescent when the deal was struck, had enthusiastically agreed at the time. 
However, like a spoiled child who gorges themselves on sweets too many times, Loki grew sick of the treats he was offered. His harem of lovers grew to over ten, which felt excessive to him (at least until he learned that his brother Thor’s contained nearly thirty). 
No matter how often Loki begged Odin to cease bringing new birds in for him to have, Odin never relented, clearly becoming increasingly paranoid with the possibility that Loki would break his vow to the Princess of Alfheim. It was as if the King thought that burying his son in concubines would render him unable to object to an arranged marriage somehow. Laughable, really. 
“Speaking of…” Loki mumbled to himself, draping a heavy dressing robe over his bare body and walking onto the terrace. 
Approaching the South gate was the latest offering from the Vanir. She was concealed from view, as was tradition for her journey from her homeland, but Loki had no interest in watching the caravan approach the palace. It was sparsely attended anyway, so she must’ve been another peasant farmer’s daughter or something of little significance. 
 Instead of going to greet her at the gates as any decent noble would have done to his new slave, he decided to eat breakfast, and then perhaps he’d go for a stroll through the garden, the only place in the world where he could be alone with his thoughts. 
It would be wonderful if one of these times, I could have a companion who wanted to hear my musings, and not just to bed me or take advantage of my station, he thought sadly to himself as he went to get dressed. Alas, even a Prince cannot have everything he wants.

“So. What do you think?”
The question rang slightly in the room, ricocheting against metal plates and graphite-grey walls.
Arms folded, facing out into the open floor, Fury allowed the slight turn of his head and expectant silence to serve as invitation.
After a moment, Alethia- sleekly attired for the autumn chill like a native Manhattanite, in black skinny jeans, mid-heeled ankle boots, and fine-knit turtleneck sweater of berry wool- pushed herself off the wall, stepping forward.
She and Romanoff had been on the roof before Fury called them into the VERITAS testing area, drinking coffee in the cold and soundscape of noise above the city. Alethia had stripped the long wool coat she had been wearing when she arrived inside, draping it over one of the chairs, but Romanoff was still wearing her camel leather jacket, curls soft and mouth faintly pursed, eyes fixed on Alethia’s back.
Glancing over the two of them, Fury could easily understand why Romanoff had identified with her. The resemblance between their circumstances was self-evident, but the subtler physical similarities were in the details; it was written small, in the simple facts of their heights, their builds, the way they moved- a confident ease with a slight tension underneath, like a dancer waiting to fall into the right steps.
They matched nicely against each other. Fury could envisage sending them out into the field together, on intelligence retrieval and social reconnaissance- Romanoff’s ability to assess and assimilate, and Alethia’s eye for truth and steel nerves, would make for an invaluable combination.
Fury’s eye flicked back to Romanoff where she remained in place, exuding a faint anxiety like the vapours from paint thinner.
He knew that Romanoff wasn’t unaware of her bias. But neither did that awareness make her immune to it.
Rather than letting it become a liability, Fury had warped it into an advantage; if Alethia saw the truth in all things, it was better to offer her a favourable truth, in the form of a handler who wanted her recruitment to be successful for reasons beyond fulfilment of mission parameters.
Alethia halted- coffee cup still in hand, its heat-sleeve stamped with SHIELD’s eagle insignia- before the centrepiece of the room, head tilted consideringly, the sheen of her curls shifting across her shoulders.
The wide chair was set on a high swivel, aggressively angular, constructed from darkly brushed titanium, strict right-angles, and heat-sensitive fabric. A biometric plate was affixed into the centre spine, metal cuffs locking at the armrests, leashed with black electrical cables; a unit reminiscent of a cranial halo capped the structure, winged forward to encase the temples of its occupant. Immediately behind where Alethia stood was a large, simple control centre, inset with a touchscreen display.
“The fruits of your labour.” Fury announced with a wry twist of aplomb. “Thought you might like to see it. Ninety-six variables in total, monitored and analysed by a unique algorithm, based on and verified in efficacy by your contributions. Say hello to the alpha version of VERITAS- the Verification Enhancement for Response Input Technological Analysis System.”
“Stars. If that acronym were any more tortured, the Geneva Conventions would have something to say about it,” Alethia quipped, almost more to herself than the room.
“It was the initial code name for the project,” Fury replied with the intonation of a shrug, unfolding his arms and stepping forwards, the leather drape of his overcoat shifting with the motion. “We’ve got a few like that. But, if you feel that strongly about it- give it a new name. The DNA of it is mostly yours.”
People tended to be more reluctant to destroy or abandon that which they felt personally invested in, Fury found.
Alethia gave a quiet hum from the back of her throat, and lifted a free hand to skim the closest cuff of the chair.
“You think so.”
“It wouldn’t have been possible without your input,” Fury admitted, “not on this time scale. Maybe not even in this generation-”
“It was your design, Nicholas. So- congratulations,” she lifted her voice to call out. “It is a highly sophisticated piece of scrap.”
She rapped a fingertip against the cuff, two neat taps.
“I hope that you’re satisfied.”
Fury took a long moment to study her.
In most cases, he would avoid rising to the bait. Not unlike another troublesome asset that came to mind, Alethia had an element of narcissism to her character- and worse, just cause for it; like Stark, she acted like she knew more than anyone else in the room because, most often than not, she did. Fury’s general policy was that they did not feed egos, particularly those attached to individuals that liked to provoke. Indulging it was a short-term solution that would result in long-term headaches.
Alethia was an exception. Unlike other consultants, they had little information to use as leverage, her available history alarmingly sparse- something that happened approximately never, given SHIELD’s not inconsiderable reach and resources. And as Alethia had deduced with irritating accuracy during their negotiations, the threat that had brokered her cooperation- to flag her with every agency that SHIELD had backchannels with, threatening her meticulously cultivated anonymity- was a card that could only be played once.
Romanoff’s evaluation had found that the most effective strategy was to play her game. Alethia would speak in circuitous riddles and rhetoric, but the more you paid attention to her words, the more you engaged, the more threads she would cast out to watch you follow, chasing towards the truth that she was hinting at.
It was a power play- but one that Fury could tolerate. The rules were consistent, for the most part, and Alethia played fair.
“That the most advanced lie detector system in the world,” he answered patiently.
“Nicholas, you couldn’t even use me properly.” Smoothly, she pivoted to face Fury, unimpressed and unusually direct. “This machine can’t talk back when you’re asking the wrong questions. If not scrap- it is a monument to irony.”
“With regards to what?”
Alethia pushed off the chair, shoulder set, a strange pressure gathering in the air.
“SHIELD is a monster. You might be the hand feeding it, but you are not the one holding the leash.”
She flicked her head back towards the gleaming chair.
“Call it Cassandra.”
With that parting shot, Alethia cut a path out of the door.
Romanoff shifted her weight, as though moving to follow her- but Fury halted her with an open palm and quelling look.
Six minutes later, Fury emerged onto the rooftop.
The Base- codenamed in recognition of its legacy as the original headquarters of SHIELD, after it was established on the foundations laid by the SSR- would have been an imposing building in any other city. Within the cloistered, oversaturated streets of Midtown, however, the broad tower block of dark stone and glass panes blended in amongst the billboard-plated skyscrapers and storefronts that lined the avenues, glossed over like any other corporate office building on the island. At over a dozen storeys tall, the roof was far enough above street level that the coordinated chaos melded together into a rush of tires on asphalt and idling engines and a miasma of passing chatter, punctuated by the distant blare of car horns, sirens, and rattle of construction work- a cocktail of sensory overload, diluted down to a half-ratio. The rubble of the Incident had been cleared, its smoking wounds cleaned and under repair, returning the great aortic chambers of the city to full capacity.
Alethia stood near the edge of the roof, gazing down at the traffic below, vanilla hair and underdressed torso caught in a cross-breeze. As the wind twisted around her, Fury thought he caught a snatch of a high-contrast melody- something that rang of Rodgers and Hammerstein, and the golden age of Broadway showtunes and classic jazz standards.
“For someone who was so determined to keep her mouth shut when you got here, you’ve sure got a lot to say,” Fury interrupted, projecting his voice above the rush of traffic and whip of the winds, strolling up behind her.
“For someone who demands answers at every opportunity, you’re not very willing to listen,” Alethia retorted swiftly, knocking back the dregs in her cup and setting it on the raised edge of the roof. From the drop of liquid left on the plastic rim, it seemed that Romanoff was continuing to keep her sweet with a supply of matcha lattes.
“I’m listening now.”
“Ah, right. Like you were with the Tesseract?”
Fury’s visible eye narrowed.
“What did you mean by that jab? About monsters and leashes.”
Alethia drew her bottom lip between her teeth, glowering, eyes burning like a golden-hour sun behind storm clouds.
Eventually, she filtered out a shallow sigh, her expression cooling.
“There is a principle,” she began slowly, dark lashes lowered as she watched the traffic below, “in regards to statecraft, that you cannot design a seat of power solely with regards to what will allow one individual to do good- but must also consider what will prevent another from accomplishing evil, if they were to acquire the same position.”
Alethia looked directly at him, sombre in a way that she only was once she had given up any attempt to fight or undermine.
“I would strongly urge you to consider what evil could accomplish in your position, Nicholas.”
“Implying that you don’t think I’m evil,” Fury observed, with some intrigue.
It was an unexpected, and interesting concession; Alethia had made no secret that she held SHIELD wholly in contempt, and Fury by extension as the one at its helm.
“I think that you’re a manipulative, opportunistic bastard with few scruples and broadly altruistic intentions, which makes you very good at your job,” Alethia answered, glancing away with a dismissive air. “I also think that you’re arrogant enough to think that you’re paranoid enough, and about the right things, rather than what fits your worldview and skillset.”
Fury absorbed on her appraisal. He had received less scathing evaluations, but he found himself oddly unoffended by it.
“So what should I be paranoid about?”
She looked to him with a slow blink, her expression hard, more resolute than angry. Her irises seemed deeper than the usual hazel, verging upon amber, despite the flat light of the overcast midday skies.
“I told you. You are not holding the leash.”
The meaning clicked.
Fury’s initial, instinctive reaction was outright scepticism.
SHIELD was strictly compartmentalised for a reason. Trust was a commodity both coveted and scorned in the industry, and any system worth its salt in resilience did not merely trust in the integrity of its participants, but enforced it. SHIELD was no different. Its structure split its various branches and operations in such a way that its design could trap and isolate the first hairline-fracture roots of subversion, before they could sink deep enough to alter the fabric of the organisation, or its directives.
The structure of the organisation was not of Fury’s making, but it was one that he had maintained and improved upon since he had been appointed as director, and it worked. A certain level of grime was to be tolerated- in an organisation like SHIELD, entrenched as its operations were within the global network espionage, geopolitics, and commerce, both legal and black market, there was no such thing as clean hands, and even less so of a clean house. It would be the height of naivety and idealism to believe otherwise. But Fury would have detected the swells of a schism forming, of acceptable margins for disagreement becoming an unacceptable division. The sharks may circle, and there would always be blood in the water, but they would never get close enough for a bite.
SHIELD’s identity, and its purpose, was as secure as they had been when Peggy Carter and Howard Stark had founded it.
Common sense dictated that he should verbalise none of this to Alethia.
“So what do you recommend? Tell me what I should be looking at.” Fury began consciously convincing himself into a counter position that he could justify- that there was more to gain than to lose in hearing her, that it was eminently for Alethia to have noticed a risk that they had failed to assess.
Truth was the only shield that held against Alethia. If he didn’t believe it, then neither would she.
The irked tightening of her eyebrow was not encouraging.
“I know you’re humouring me, Nicholas, but let’s ignore the subpar charade otherwise for now.” Alethia shifted into resigned slant, arms folding against the brisk air. “Alright. First. You need a stricter delineation between personnel files, and dossiers on civilians and associates. Especially in regards to storage and access permissions. The keys to unlock one door should not work on another. It’s a security risk, and more than a little alarming that I have to bring it up. Second- stop kidnapping people. Human rights and due process aside, it’s a good way to build up ill will with the very people you may need help from in the near future. Less vinegar, more honey.”
“They are people of interest-”
“Stop kidnapping them.”
“So you’re telling us to ignore the risks-”
“I am telling you that the secret is out,” Alethia interrupted sharply, “and that the bell can’t be unrung. So- exploit it. Instead of trying to wrench the curve backwards, stay ahead of it. Advise the appropriate legislative bodies. Drive the drafting of fair laws to cover the hypotheticals that have become realities- just like with every other advancement in history. Provide evidence for public trials. Give people due process if and when they violate the law, and stop kidnapping people on the basis that they might, possibly, at some point, become a threat. Offer them the resources to help them control their abilities, instead of the choice between constant intrusive surveillance, working for you, or getting disappeared to a facility that doesn’t legally exist.” She paused, with all the ominous inertness of an active hotplate. “And get some actual oversight.”
“This may be hard for you to believe, but we have oversight.” Fury replied, wondering exactly how inept she was under the impression SHIELD was.
“Your oversight is faceless, tried to nuke Manhattan, and has yet to face any questions in regards to it.” She said flatly, staring at Fury with a particularly blank contempt. “Get better oversight.”
Regrettably, she had a point.
Although, Fury was slightly more concerned with where and how, exactly, Alethia had acquired that information.
“I am well aware of their shortcomings,” Fury answered evenly, “and, frankly, I’m a little insulted by the implication to the contrary.”
“Nicholas,” Alethia sighed, part impatience and part resignation, seething, “I don’t like you. But that does not make me intellectually dishonest. There is a reason why I am talking, despite the fact that you are proving incapable of listening. I know that you know. And I am aware that you are not unreasonable. Or- entirely incompetent.”
Fury ignored the qualifier. It was impressive that she had held out this long without a thinly veiled insult.
“But you don’t trust me.”
Alethia smiled slightly, in a way that declared I would have to be an idiot.
She wasn’t entirely wrong.
“You and yours are not answerable to the public,” she said simply, combing her hair out of her eyes as the wind picked up and tossed it into disarray. “And the Avengers have to be, if the project is going to be sustainable. You had a good idea, but- SHIELD is not the right organisation to execute it. It is not what you’re good at, or suited for.”
“Protecting the world from threats that it’s not ready for?”
“By sealing truth in the well. Yours is a war of cloak and dagger- a necessary one,” Alethia added with a pointed glance in Fury’s direction, as though daring him to accuse her of being unfair, “and you’re good at it. But you cannot protect the public by keeping them ignorant ad infinitum. And treating people as though they’re helpless children won’t help them develop critical thinking skills. It will just keep them- reactive, and uninformed, when the situation forces their awareness. This is not a terrorist cell with a glowing cube that defies the established laws of thermodynamics. This is an entire world that has been emerging for decades, and is past being kept a secret.”
Fury felt his chest expand with a deep, slow breath, his gun holster tightening briefly, leashing in his thoughts.
“So. Stronger protections for our data, more outreach to enhanced individuals, focus on laws, improvement of oversight.” Fury concluded. “Those are your recommendations?”
“It’s not a panacea,” Alethia said, lifting one shoulder, “it’s a safety net.”
“It’s a pretty reasonable report.”
“I’ve learned to lower my expectations.” She lifted her face to the open air, soaking in a sudden break of sunshine from between the clouds, warming her colours and sharpening the contrast between her golden complexion and fair hair. “Nothing that I mentioned should offend your sensibilities overmuch. Although, I notice that you omitted the no kidnapping clause.”
Not for the first time, Fury resented that Alethia was so determined to distrust SHIELD. In some respects, she reminded him of Maria Hill, driven and intelligent and unapologetically argumentative, first to point to flaws that no one else would mention due to adherence to chain of command.
The crucial difference was that Hill was capable of doing what she was told.
“I never thanked you,” Fury decided to say, eventually. “For guarding Loki."
It seemed gracious to acknowledge it, as they neared the end of Project VERITAS.
“It’s unnecessary to,” Alethia stated tonelessly. “You would have forced the issue if I had refused, and I had my reasons to say yes.”
“Such as?”
Alethia lowered her gaze, to cast it out over the city, serenely blank.
“Some that you wouldn’t understand. Others that- you probably wouldn’t credit.”
“Well, I might surprise you,” Fury murmured, before shrugging. “That was a pretty good pitch, by the way.”
“Oh- thank you,” Alethia said, the lightness of her cadence surprisingly devoid of sarcasm. “I spent a considerable amount of time refining it. Including editing out a point about SHIELD’s double standards, hypocrisy, and lack of self-awareness over the concept of unbridled, unknown power in the hands of obscure organisations with dubious motives. I thought it might be- unproductive?”
“Smart call,” Fury replied dryly.
Alethia’s mouth flicked into a smirk, before fading into something more solemn.
“But this doesn’t guarantee that you will take my advice, does it?”
Damn right. A good argument makes you a good orator, not a good strategist.
“You knew it probably wouldn’t. So why make the case?”
This time, Alethia laughed outright, sudden and disorientating as a sun-shower.
“Sometimes,” she said through a luminous smile, “I really just want to walk away, and let all of you die.”
But she wouldn’t.
That much had been proven, by the warnings she issued about the Tesseract, by the fact that she had taken up watch over Loki despite the considerable personal risk, by the arrogance-clad counsel that she offered an organisation that she openly abhorred.
Fury let his mouth quirk.
This, he could be satisfied with. Even if SHIELD had not acquired Alethia’s loyalty, her cooperation was no longer a complete impossibility.
And Fury was reluctant to slam any door shut forever. So long as it was left ajar, he could allow the matter to rest as success enough.

CHAPTER 5: TRUST ME, I'M THE DOCTOR
"don't you suit up?" Tony asked as he glanced at your figure who was sitting on the floor of the room fumbling with a strange object in your hand.
"what?" you looked up to his face.
"You don't suit up? Like use a suit or any weapon to fight? Anything?" Tony replied.
"nahh, I'm not the kind of alien who really like suit up like you all.. I'm just.. An ordinary alien, eh? My only weapon is my sonic screwdriver and my brain.. that's all" you replied then continue fidgeting the strange small objects like chips.
"Really? Then how do you fight and protect yourself if there is a threat? You said before that trouble always follows you but you never mentioned how you prevent it" Tony crossed his arms.
"I have people who help me actually.. I'm not always alone, mind you.. But I have a few best people help me to prevent it. I usually just swish my sonic and then some people help me and boom.. Everything is back to normal and they live happily" you muttered not even glancing at him as your attention was only on that strange and small object of yours.
Tony was silent for a moment. He is trying to rethink what you said in his mind. It's like you depend too much on your stance and people always offered to help you but everything turned well if everything was done by you. Then he decided to change subjects.
"What's that in your hand? Some sort of chip?" Tony pointed his index finger at the object in your hand.
You looked at him. "oh this.. it's just a small electric shock. Enough to wake up the daydreaming mind to return to reality" you explained.
"It would be great if it was given to young adults and teenagers out there" Tony murmured jokingly.
"oh yeah, those teens and young adults these days are very different from the others. I remembered teenagers and young adults during the first and second world wars were very different. They were very independent and had goals.. Maybe it's because the war they went through made them so it's like that compared to the current generation who just live carelessly after their country is safe" you muttered before the sonic chip for the final touch.
You raised the chip in your hand up to admire it with the light of the lamp. You automatically smile wide showing your full teeth. Very satisfied with your work.
"But this chip, Tony.. It has its own advantages. It is a chip to remove the mind control effect. Someone who is affected by Loki's mind control will come back to themselves if this chip is attached to any part of their body.. Just skins. Clothes not included.. I mean the shock can penetrate clothes, but it's better to go directly to the skin" you explained.
"and how do we put it?" Tony Cocked his head slightly.
"ahh it doesn't matter, whether you want to fight first before placing it or just well use your any kind of skills to attach it to the victim.. As long as it is attached to them then it's good" you replied, nodding your head several times.
Tony nodded understanding. "Just one? Those mind control chickens are bunch and you only make one?"
"Who said I only do one?" You then put a medium-sized box next to you and opened it. There are many chips that you make.
Tony mouthed agape. "you did this in one day?"
"I did say I have a time machine, right? Soo I kind of stole some time to make the master chip before making a copy of the master chip to make this chip" You scratched your neck.
"OH! I forgot!" you took out a medium-sized box from the pocket of your trench coat that was bigger on the inside. "there are a few master chips I made for all of you so that when we bump into Loki and if he tries to mind control us at least these chips can prevent him from controlling us.. It's like you and your metal suit, you know .. So take this and put it wherever your body part is comfortable. For me, I put it on my neck" you show the master chip attached to your neck.
Tony stared at you for a moment. Wondering why you seemed determined to help them without knowing who they are. Why are you not the type of alien that causes an invasion? He still can't believe his own eyes that you are an alien.. Like you look like a human but you are an alien. Tony blinked a few times before he kneel in front of you and he took the chip from you and stuck it to his neck.
"Well at least it's not icky" Tony muttered.
"No it's not" you smiled with satisfaction. "OH! I have to give it to the others, I'll come back later.. or not.. I'll probably wonder somewhere else before meeting them.. anyway, Tata!" you get up and run to the exit.
Tony stared at your retreating figure in wonder. Why? why do you want to help human? For what? Why not helping your own kind?
To make amends.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
After giving Nat, Barton and Steve the chips you made even though Barton seems wary of you and he doesn't know who you are which makes him hesitant to accept the chip but after a few moments Nat assures him that you are not harmed and 'good alien', Barton finally accepted the chip.
But he is still wary of you so he keeps his distance from you which you are fine with because he is fresh out of mind controlling so he has trust issues with you.
Steve as always still trying to figure out about the technology you handed to him which you happily explained to him with an explanation that was easy for him to understand.
And now everyone is ready, everyone is suited up and ready to kick ass. You had to leave the Bounty and the TARDIS in the Hellcarrier because the situation probably won't allow you to park the TARDIS anywhere because you can feel that this alien invasion is really massive. So they will be safe in the Hellcarrier while you will throw yourself into danger as always but this time without Bounty and TARDIS.
You, Barton and Nat follow Steve from behind towards the lower hanger bay where the fighter jets are.
One of the staff on duty noticed the four of you and tried to stop the two of you from approaching the jet.
"Hey, you guys aren't authorized to
be in here. " the Shield Engineer said.
"Son, just don't" Steve warned him.
You glanced at Steve. 'Well, this is going to be more interesting' you thought after Steve warned the young staff to go and let you four feet into the Jet. The Shield Engineer finally gave up and let the four of you into the Jet.
Nat and Barton walked toward the control panel and started the engine while you and Steve took the seats and buckled up the belt.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Tony landed on the panel in his Tower as his suit began to deconstruct, one by one leaving him only his black t-shirt and track pants. His arc reactor glows in his chest.
He walked into his penthouse carefully and watching Loki who was admiring his insane work in the window. Loki upon noticing him began to walk in as well.
Inside the Penthouse the demigod started walking forward while the human started walking behind his bar. Preparing his drink.
"Please tell me you're going to
appeal to my humanity. " Loki said, not caring what Tony did in front of him.
"Uh- actually, I'm planning to
threaten you." Tony pointed out his 'reason' while smirking.
"You should have left your armor on for that" Loki said threateningly.
"Yeah, it's seen a bit of mileage. You've got the uh blue stick of destiny. Would you like a drink? " he offered while showing his glass to Loki.
Loki tilted his head to the side slightly. "Stilling me won't change anything." he smirked.
"No, no, no- threatening. No drink? Are you sure? I'm having one. " Tony said sarcastically while his hand started working.
"The Chitauri are coming, nothing will change that. What have I to fear?" Loki said with pride in his chest.
"The Avengers. It's what we call ourselves, sort of like a team. 'Earth's Mightiest Heroes' type of things." Tony acknowledged.
"Yes, I'm meeting them." Loki stared at Tony with his dangerous blue eyes.
"Yeah, it takes us a while to get anything
traction, I'll give you that one. But, let's do a head count here. Your brother, the Demi-God; The Timelady with her blue police box" Tony started listing those heroes.
Loki turned away from Tony. His eyes narrowed at the mention of Time Lady from Tony's mouth not noticing Tony was slipping a pair of bracelet around his wrist.
"A super soldier, a living legend who kind of lives up to the legend; a man with breath-taking anger management issues; a couple of master assassins, and you, big
fella, you've managed to piss off every single one of them." Tony continued.
Loki smirked cynically. "that was the plan"
Tony started walking to the center of his Penthouse where Loki was. "Not a great plan. When they come, and they will, they'll come for you. Tony threatened.
"I have an army." Loki replied.
"we have a hulk" Tony fought back.
"Oh, I thought the beast had wandered off." Loki remarked.
"And we got a genius Timelady with knowledge of every universe" Tony spoke.
"The extinct kind will not be able to bring me down" Loki said with a smirk.
"Yeah- you're missing the point. There is no throne, there is no version of this, where you come out on top. Maybe your army comes and maybe it's too much for us, but it's all on you. 'Cause if we can't protect the earth, you can be damned well sure we'll avenge it" Tony snapped.
Loki began to lose his patience as he walked over Tony with a scepter in his hand pointing to Tony's chest where the arc reactor resides.
"How will your friends have time for
me, when they're so busy fighting
you?" he said tenaciously before beginning to tip his scepter over Tony's heart or arc reactor.
The scepter glowed with blue glows but then disappeared when it clicked over his arc reactor. Strange, usually it works.
"Well, performance issues. You know?" Tony cracked.
Loki lost his patience and grabbed Tony's neck, strangled him and threw him across the room. Tony grunted in pain and tried to get up.
"JARVIS, anytime now." Tony groaned before Loki walked towards him and choked him.
"You will all fall before me" He sneered at Tony's face before throwing Tony out the window.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You got up from your seat and walked to the front of the control panel where Barton and Nat was, looking at the mess outside due to the entry of the foreign army. There the Tesseract was, emitting a deadly blue beaming pointed at the sky. Portal.
You gasped. "chituari" you start to get anxious.
Nat not noticing you next to her started speaking to the earpiece. "Stark, we're on a three heading north east."
"What, did you stop for drive-thru?
Swing that park, I'm gonna lay 'em
out for you. Tony said, sarcastically.
You hold Nat and Barton's seats as they both try to avoid Chituari flying outside, Eyes doesn't run away from all the mess. It's reminded you of 'that' bitter moment.
Barton and Nat try their best to avoid the Chituari as they release the canon gun from the jet and start shooting at the Chituari who are flying to capture New York City.
They fly through the smoke and up to Stark Tower.
The quinjet comes around a building, blasting the army who are firing at them. One of the wings is grazed by Chitauri
gunfire. But then the jet seems to point towards Loki and Thor who are fighting on top of Stark Tower. Nat, Barton and you witnessed the fight between the brothers.
"Nat" Barton spoke.
"I see 'em" Nat replied.
"Watch out!" you held the back of their seat as Loki used the scepter to blow up the jet's wing causing the situation in the jet to sway violently.
Nat and Barton trying to control the situation but the jet seems to have lost control. You held your breath as the jet seemed to hit all the buildings there before it crashed to the ground. The jet comes to stopped, you let out a sigh of relief when you found that you were unharmed. You got up and ran out of Jet following Steve.
You were stunned to see all the mess in that area. Chituari flying here and there attacking civilians. Those innocent people became victims because of Loki. You reached into your trench coat pocket to reach for your Sonic Screwdriver in case something happened.
Although sonic screwdriver is not used for fighting but at least it can sonic those Chituari vehicles or weapons to stop it works.
"We gotta get back up there." Steve stated.
You all ran onto the overpass, looking up at Stark Tower. But then you all freeze when you see the giant Leviathan come out of the portal. You are stunned.
'it happened again' you thought.
A warship of the Chitauri, flies through the portal with more warriors.Those warriors jump onto the side of buildings and into the
buildings where they shoot civilians. They sneered threateningly towards the civilians.
"Stark, are you seeing this?" Steve said, still watching the scenes.
"Where's Banner? Has he shown up
yet? Tony replied still not believing his eyes that he would witness such horrifying scenes.
"He's not here" you said before taking out your sonic from your pocket and sonic the one Chituari who was about to shoot you.
The Chituari's gun started to malfunction before it throws it gun and rushed towards you but then the Chituari slumped to the ground when Nat shot the Chituari.
You were stunned then glanced at Nat with a grateful look. Nat stared at you for a moment before taking out her other gun from her holster before handing it to you. You stared at the gun.
"take this, at least you can defend yourself" Nat stated.
You take the gun and stare at it for a moment. Not like you don't know how to use a gun, it just gun really not your thing.
"I'm sure you know how to use a gun. Make sure the gun is in good condition before returning it to me" Nat said.
You gripped the gun tightly in your hand. "I'll make sure you get this gun back in good condition" you paused. "no need to tell me what will happen if it is not in good condition"
All of you ran in the mess, counterattacking all the Chituari that appeared. Shoot, sonic, hit and shoot all the Chituari who try to attack you or the civilians who are saving themselves.
You quickly dodged the Chituari shot before you sonic it gun and shoot it in the head with the gun Nat gave you. You make an impressed face. Not knowing that you can do that. But then again, first you need to survive to maintain this life. Otherwise you will regenerate and change to a whole new 'person' again. And we don't need to leave this life short right?
You, Nat and Barton took cover in the back of the cab trying to take cover wherever Steve runs over to you all also took cover.
"We've got civilians trapped." Clint said after he noticed some civilians trapped not far from where you all are.
Loki who had already boarded the Chituari troop flew fast through the air past where you were all taking cover followed by several Chituari soldiers.
"Loki" you muttered, hands gripping the gun and sonic screwdriver tightly.
"They're fish in a barrel down
there" Steve said, referring to some civilians who were saving themselves.
"We need to close the portal before other things come out" You said to them all.
"It's too dangerous to go to the tower with all these flying aliens" Clint said while preparing his arrow.
"Think you all can help me get to the tower?" you looked at Steve, Clint and Nat hopefully.
"What are you thinking? Running around, endangering yourself just to get to that tower? no" Nat said with frustration.
"Well, I just got this idea that we use Loki's scepter to close the portal, seeing that the scepter and the Tesseract have the same sort of power," you suggested.
Nat stared at you for a moment. "what if it doesn't work?"
"It will work. Trust me, I'm the Doctor" you said with determination. "Besides, I will use shortcuts to get to the tower as long as those Chituari don't interfere"
The tree human only looked at you for a moment before they agreed with your plan.
"if you say so" Nat stood up and fired her gun at the incoming group of Chituari nearby. "We got this, It's good. Go!" she shouted before continuing to fire her gun.
You nodded and ran quickly towards the tower not before you fired your gun towards the nearby Chituari before entering the gap in the building to avoid colliding with Chituari. You looked up to the sky, a giant leviathan flying and destroying all the buildings in sight. You rushed quickly hoping to quickly reach the tower.
Steve is still reluctant to let you go to the tower alone as he is still trying to understand what you are trying to do. He looked at Clint who was still crouched behind the cab.
"You think you can hold them off?" Steve spoke towards Clint.
Clint smirked while his hands fiddling with the arrows and bow. "Captain, it would be my genuine pleasure" he put the arrow to his bow and began to set his target towards Chituari before releasing his arrow hitting Chituari in the head before the same arrows multiple split into two and hit the nearby Chituari. The tree Chituari dead on the spot.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"left right left again right! Oh!" you shot Chituari who suddenly appeared. The Chituari growled before collapsing to the ground, dead.
You let out a big breath before running fast to the tower which is only a few steps if those Chituari don't attack you. You sonic-ing their weapons which lead to malfunction before shooting those Chituari in the head. But then when you want to shoot the last Chituari, you are dumbfounded when you find out that you are out of ammo.
You cursed the Sontarans even though it wasn't their fault before running towards the main entrance tower. The Chituari chased you until they entered the towet, crashing against the windows and various pieces of furniture in the tower until they broke just to get you.
You dodged and ran everywhere hoping to escape from the Chituari. You entered various rooms and corridors but then the Chituari just crashed into the wall and kept chasing you. You cursed again before deciding to enter the open office to hide from it.
You hold your breath as the Chituari seems to be trying to find you. You put your palms to your mouth and nose trying to hide your panting breath. You can still hear the sound of Chituari growling near you. You looked around the office trying to find anything that could be used as a weapon before your eyes focused on the scissors on the table.
We all know that the Doctor does not like violence but seeing that she is in this situation, she needs to do something brutal to save herself.
You reached for the scissors and held it tightly before slowly leaving the office. The hand holding the scissors was hidden behind your back as you slowly walked outside from the office. The Chituari started to sense you and growling at the sight at you before it rushed towards you at high speed and jumped on top of you making you both fall to the floor. You immediately defend yourself with your free hand while the hand holding the scissor starts quickly stabbing the Chituari's neck making the Chituari let out a pitiful whine and dead on top of you.
Your eyes widen when you go through that experience. You have never dealt with Chituari so closely in your life. Let alone kill it with your own hands. You let out a big sigh before pushing the dead Chituari's body off your body. You remained lying down, trying to calm down your racing hearts.
You sighed and stood up before supporting yourself by holding onto the wall. Your head feels dizzy after that scene, now you don't have time to rest. You looked around the place, trying to find a place to go up to the top floor. You are not sure if the elevator is working or not. If not you have to override it to work for you which takes time.
You strode towards the open elevator and pressed the top button which is obviously not working due to the problem you are going through now. You rolled up your sleeves a little before fishing out your non sonic screwdriver from your pocket and unscrewed the lift button panel to override it to work again.
"right" you fiddling the wire with your sonic screwdriver.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"Why did she take so long to close the portal?!" Nat shouted as she fired her guns at the Chituari.
Steve hit the Chituari in the face with his shield hard. "don't know, what I hope she can make it to the portal."
"Wait, who's going to close the portal?" Tony interfered in the conversation.
"Y/n, she's going to close the portal with Loki's scepter" Nat replied.
"And you all didn't tell me that she's going to do that? Alone?" Tony said pretending to be upset as he dodged the Chituari's troops.
"We may just know her but that's what she said to us.. Trust her" Steve said while hitting the Chituari with his Shield.
"aye, you know I can hear right.. I am touched by your words, Captain." your voice is heard in their ears.
"what took you so long?" Barton said as he shot his arrows at Chituari who decided to change route towards him.
"Patience is a virtue" You said simply while sonic-ing the wire in your hand solemnly. Tongue sticking out of your mouth shows how focused you are with your work.
"Hurry up, those flying lizards are getting more and more" Tony said as he blasted his blast at the giant leviathan.
"aye, aye, tin man" you salute in your mind.
Tony rolled his eyes at the nickname.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
You put your sonic screwdriver in your pocket before screwing back the screw on the lift button panel. You then press the button at the top of the tower. The button light up, so was the light in the lift. You grinned with satisfaction.
"there you go, top of the world" you said as the lift door closed and the lift started going up to the top floor.
As soon as you reached the top floor of Stark Tower where the Tesseract was located, you quickly exited the elevator as time was running out. But then you stopped when Loki, suddenly crashed hard from the Penthouse window. He flipped himself back to stand. His face turned frustrated when his ride was interrupted.
Loki eyes looked around before his eyes focused on you. He stared at you for a moment before he smirked dangerously at you. He started to approach you.
"well well well, is this the Timelady that the human said? The one who's go by the name of the Doctor. The lady who possesses knowledge from the entire universe. The last of her kind" Loki said slowly, he approached you.
You stepped back from Loki trying to get away from him. Still remained silent and did not say anything. Loki grinned.
"Why are you silent? Cat got your tongue? Tell me, does this remind you of that 'war'? Are you going to do the same thing as you did in the past?" he disses you. Trying to make you lash out at him.
Your mind kept replaying the Time War after Loki mentioned that. Everything reminded you of that bitter moment.
Loki grinned cynically when he noticed you seemed to be fighting with your own mind. Before he opened his mouth to trigger another sentence, Hulk suddenly crashed into him causing the Demigod to be thrown across the room hard. Loki groaned angrily. You stepped back at the sudden change of situation.
Hulk roared at Loki who was now standing on his own feet.
"ENOUGH! You are, all of you, under me! I AM GOD, YOU DULL CREATURE, AND I WILL NOT BE BULLIED BY-"
Hulk grabs Loki by the feet and smashes him into the floor repeatedly, then throws him aside and walks away. You winced in pain when you witnessed this. Watching this can make you feel pain all over your body even though you are not in Loki's place.
But then again, it's Loki. He deserves it even though it looks painful.
"Puny God" Hulk spit out those two words.
Loki let out a whine of pain where he lay. His body is stiff as he's trying to hold back his body pain. For the first time Loki has been beaten into submission.
Hulk: 1
Loki: 0
You were speechless before you jerked from the situation to run outside the Penthouse towards the Tesseract or portal machine. You stared at the machine there without any comments.
"The scepter." a gruff voice could be heard from your side.
You turned your gaze to the source of the voice. There Doctor Selvig was lying not far from the Tesseract.
"Doctor Selvig, right?" You walked towards him.
"Loki's scepter, the energy- the Tesseract can't fight. You can't protect against yourself." Selvig said.
"I know, that's why I need that scepter. Did you know where the scepter is?" you questioned hoping that the scepter was not far from there.
"it's my fault.. I made the machine" Selvig said with sorrow.
"it's not your fault, you don't know what you're doing" you replied. "now, please.. If you don't want all this to continue, tell me.. where the scepter is. Please. Help me, Doctor"
"It may be able to close the portal. And I'm looking right at it. " Selvig said turning his gaze from you to the lowest platform where the scepter was.
Your face lights up on the sight scepter. You grinned. "great. Now help me set those things up while I retrieve that scepter."
Selvig nodded his head then got up and walked towards the Tesseract. His hands started working against the machine. While you go down to the lower platform to retrieve the scepter. Your eyes catching on the figure of Loki who is still lying down. A look of pity flashed on your face before you took the scepter and ran back to the upper platform.
Selvig setting up his equipment as you are finally in front of the machine. "right at the crown!" Selvig pointed out.
You begin to push the spear through the barrier surrounding the cube, it's hard to break but you try your best to push it. You can feel the warm temperature of the Tesseract. The bright blue light makes it quite difficult to see.
"Anyone on the other side? I'm starting to close this portal!" you shouted into the earpiece hoping anyone online could hear.
"Do it!" Steve said firmly.
"no, wait" you heard the voice of Tony who was out of breath.
"Stark, these things are still coming!" Steve argued.
"I got a nuke coming in, it's gonna blow in less than a minute." Tony said.
Your expression changed. "what?"
"wherever you do now, Doc. Don't close the portal yet. I'm carrying a nuke on my back now and I know just where to put it" Stark replied with certainty.
"Stark, you know that's a one way trip." Steve reminded Tony.
You who were listening to the conversation were silent as you saw Iron Man fly past Stark Tower towards the Portal with Nuke behind him.
Your gripped on the scepter was still locked even though you witnessed what Tony was trying to do.
It's like everything that's happening now seems to freeze as all the Avengers witnessed Iron Man's heroic actions. Hopefully what he did was the right decision.
Iron Man entered the portal and released the Nuke to the other side. Tony watching the empire of Chituari destroyed in front of his eyes before he closed his eyes. The Chituari and leviathan immediately dropped to the ground as its Mother Ship was destroyed by the Nuke.
You are still waiting for Tony to come back. Hands still holding the scepter, ready at any moment to bury the portal.
"Come on, Stark" you muttered hopefully.
"close it" Steve commanded from your earpiece.
You hesitantly thrust the scepter into the Tesseract, closing the portal and shutting off the source of power from it. The portal in the sky immediately disappeared.
Steve noticed something else falling from the sky and that something is something he knows and knows.
"Son of a gun" Steve exclaimed with relief.
You put the scepter down and cheers as the portal and the war are finally over.
"Yes!" you laughed and hugged Doctor Selvig with relief.
Selvig who doesn't know you, can only return your hug with a relieved smile.
But your small celebration didn't end long as you remembered that the mastermind behind all this is still there. Loki. You parted from Selvig and take the scepter off the ground before rushed towards Loki who had just dragged his body to lean against the wall.
You met up with the others at the Penthouse center before you took out your sonic screwdriver from your pocket and pointed it at Loki who was unaware that he was surrounded by the Avengers.
Loki turned around and was stunned when he saw the whole gang surrounding him.
"If it's all the same to you, I'll have that drink now." Loki said.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
The Avengers and Selvig all walk to the center of a footbridge. Tony is carrying a briefcase, Thor has Loki in a muzzle and handcuffs, Barton, Natasha, Banner, and Steve
walk from cars. While you are leaning your body against the TARDIS with Bounty in front of you. Hands crossing on chest while eyes focused on the two brothers.
Selvig takes a glass cylinder out of a truck. Tony opens his case, which is on the ground. Banner holds the Cube with some tongs and puts it into the glass cylinder Selvig has.
Over this footage. Finally the Tesseract is in the right hands.
Thor smiled widely and shook hands with Selvig and said goodbye to him. Loki who is bound and gagged in muzzle can only remain mad when he is caught. He glanced at Nat who whispered something to Clint. Clint smirked at something she said. He rolled his eyes annoyingly before his eyes caught your figure who's still witnessed the exchange.
He narrowed his eyes as he began to recognize you. You, sensing someone looking at you turned your gaze to Loki who was staring at you with unbelievable shows in his eyes. You nodded politely at him.
Before he can do anything, he feels Thor nudging his shoulder. He annoyingly looked at his adopted brother who gestured to him to take the other side of the cylinder that contained the Tesseract. He rolled his eyes and took the other side before turning his gaze towards you. Thor nodded his head to the others to say goodbye before he twisted the device and disappeared from their sight.
As the two brothers out of your sight, you begin to open the TARDIS door and let Bounty enter. Tony who saw you about to enter the TARDIS rushed towards you.
"Hey, Y/n" Tony called you.
You turned your body to look at Tony confused. "yes?"
"here" he tossed something to you which you caught before it fell to the ground.
You looked at the thing you were looking for and found it was a device. You furrowed your brow in confusion.
"what's this?" you show the device to Tony.
"a messenger device. It's for emergencies. And it's easy to stay in touch with you as you travel through another universe of any kind of utopia" Tony explained.
"what for?" you fiddle the device with your fingers.
"Incase there will be another alien attack or I want to invite you to come to my party" Tony told you simply.
"right, yeah.. Of course.. Party. Right, I'll stay in touch with you if you really need my help. I'm not in the earth all the time, I got another place to go you know" you told him.
"yeah, yeah, I know. But still, we might need your help in the future. So better take care of it." Tony muttered.
You nodded and put the device in your coat pocket. You nodded in farewell to Tony. "Until next time, Stark"
Tony nodded in farewell too. "Until next time, Doc"
You grinned one last time at Tony before stepping into the TARDIS where Bounty was twirling around the control panel excitedly
Tony stepped back from the TARDIS as the TARDIS started wheezing and wheezing when the engine was started. The TARDIS seemed to fade in and out of reality before Tony's eyes but then he frowned when the TARDIS seemed to stop fading in and out.
Tony stared at the TARDIS confused by what happened. The TARDIS door was opened by you, you stepped out of the TARDIS and looked at Tony with realization on your face.
"oh luckily you didn't go yet. Well, the gun is Nat's. I forgot to give it to her" you handed Tony Nat's gun that you used during the battle. It seems in good condition like what Nat wants. Seems like you didn't need to regenerated early then.
Tony took the gun and stared at it for a moment. You nodded one last time before entering the TARDIS again.
"bye bye!" you said then closed the TARDIS door and started the engine again.
Wheezing and wheering is heard from the TARDIS again as the TARDIS begins to fade out of reality leaving Tony there.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Your fingers pressed and pulled the lever from the control panel as you set the time on the TARDIS awaiting your next adventure with the Bounty and the TARDIS. You smiled with satisfaction when you were able to return to your track again.
"well then, to the next adventure!" you exclaimed excitedly.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
"The humans are working with the Timelord. She's the last one. We need to kill her. She's going to mess up our plan"
"To challenge them, is to court
Death"
"find her"
"kill her"
Disembodied figure turns and smiles, revealing himself to be
the mad titan himself-
THANOS.

The Avengers are sitting around a table, eating, stuffing their faces. They are silent, no one makes a peep. The workers are cleaning up this destroyed place. The place is
silent
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Avengers 2012 ends
