Lokius Fic Recs

Less than 10K words, Season Two Edition

Admittedly, I am very behind reading all the fabulous fics that came out after season 2 so I’m sure I’ve missed some gems. Nonetheless, sharing a few of my favorite post-season two Lokius fics, less than 10K words.

See my less than 10K season one Lokius fic recs here. And Lokius multi-chapter fics here.

If you’re looking for…

Angst with a hopeful ending (aka post S2 reunions or near reunions)

Come back. even as a shadow, even as a dream. by harleygirl2648- Loki and Mobius, steal what moments they can together following the events of season two and eventually find a way to make it permanent.

time will pass, darling (but my feelings, they won’t) by burnthatbridge- Another! Loki and Mobius steal what moments they can together following the events of season two and eventually find a way to make it permanent. (Okay this one is just over 15K words).

Serendipitous by emilieee- Mobius dreams of all of the moments over the centuries that he had forgotten. Meanwhile, Loki tries to find his way back to Mobius.

auld lang syne by Mirilya- Mobius experiences the first New Year's Eve that he can remember… and finds something worth celebrating.

Purpose Shared by tishae- Loki hears Mobius across the timelines and finds his way back.

Dream of me by Tears_and_smiles- (explicit) Mobius falls asleep in his motel bed and disappears into his dreams to find Loki. When he gets there, they share a night of pleasure.

with, no withouts by dinosuns- Sylvie and Mobius deal with the aftermath of Loki’s decision and begin to make a plan to get him back. (I remain delusional/hopeful that this fic will be finished. Regardless, the first chapter is spectacular on its own).

Their Burden to Bear by PerpetualDaydream- listed as Sylkius but vague to ship whoever you like. Focused on Mobius and Sylvie finding Loki and deciding to save the multiverse together.

Tell Me Some Things Last by Tears_and_smiles- Sylvie and Mobius work through the aftermath of Loki’s decision. Lots of healing vibes (and Sylvie and Mobius friendship my BELOVED).

Angst with little comfort, but beautiful:

Off The Beaten Path by ChaosAndOrder- Mobius deals with the aftermath of Loki's choice and makes one of his own. No reunions here but a gorgeous character introspective with a hopeful ending.

After They Left by ebeatrice- told from an OC POV, a TVA agent reflects on how much quieter the TVA is now after they take over Mobius’ old desk.

Centuries by TheVulcanBobDylan- (explicit) Throughout the centuries, Loki seeks comfort in the arms of different Mobius variants.

I know what I want by beandogger- (explicit) During one of his timeslips, Loki shares one more moment with Mobius before facing his fate.

Season two finale canon divergent fix its:

Let Us In by DewdropReader- How it should have ended IMO. Loki is convinced that the only way to save everyone he loves is to carry the burden of the multiverse. Sylvie and Mobius aren’t willing to allow it. What if instead of sacrificing himself, Sylvie and Mobius were able to stop Loki and were able to convince him to let them help. (I’m a big believer in The Power of Friendship endings and will always crave them.)

Kissed You Atop The Ferris Wheel by kittyhazelnut- Loki accidentally freezes time. He and Mobius share (no spoilers) a ✨moment✨. The next time Loki timeslips, things are different.

Missing Scenes, Season Two:

Portraits of your fidelity by Aliencritters- After the events of episode S2, ep1, Mobius convinces a panicking Loki to calm down and take a much needed break.

remember me (for centuries) by bookinit- Loki and Mobius throughout his timeslips.

No Time to Rest by startingatmidnight- (explicit) After the events of S2, ep1, Loki and Mobius sleep together, literally and otherwise ;). (I am obsessed with Mobius’ characterization here. Snarky, manipulative yet deeply caring Mobius, my beloved)

once more to see you by thumbbird- canon divergent S2, ep5, a Don/TVA!Loki fic! Loki has lost TVA Mobius and is determined to make a life for himself with the only Mobius left—timeline Single Dad Don. But how long will Don remain ignorant of the strange circumstance that brought them together? Obsessed with this pairing!

Fluff:

Camellia by 19960821- Settled on the timeline with Mobius, Loki thinks about how far they've come while gardening.

The Veins and The Branches by Love_is_Green- Loki reflects on his and Mobius’ journey while listening to a thunderstorm.

Lokius Fluffuary by blackbirdofasgard- okay I technically haven’t read these ones yet but I adored blackbirdofasgard’s last Fluffuary fics so including their latest here too.

And that’s it for now! My to-read list is miles long so excited to dig in more to the fabulous post S2 fics.

Happy reading!

Any good angsty fics on Mobius, like your cheating one, that you remember and recommend?

I haven’t had time to read much lately, but some of my favorites that stand out to me are:

I’m still a fan. Always will be by LokiSnakes — Mobius stepped in and defended Loki when the Minutemen assaulted him. There’re angst and fluff. I always come back to reread it!

Jetski For Sale by thekingslover — Mobius kept getting these strange feelings that he’s missing something — someone — important in his life. He couldn’t remember what, or who.

Not Even Close also by the kingslover — the angst in this one is just so good!! Loki realizing he could never (would never) hurt Mobius, even if he tried convincing himself otherwise.

looking in their eyes (when they’re down); by unintentionallyangsty — Mobius decided to trust Loki, despite being warned by his colleagues. Then his trust was being put to the test when Loki disappeared during a mission.

Home by that_disabled_mutant — Loki and Mobius reunited after being separated, post Loki series season 1 finale.

I don’t know if you’ve read my other works but, not to shamelessly promote myself, most of the stuff I write are angsty Lokius fics. So if you feel like checking them out:

I swore that I’d become a better man for you and I tried — canon divergence for Loki series season 1 episode 4, Loki founds Mobius drunk and miserable after their fight and decided he need to look after Mobius and make it up to him.

hostias et preces — the classic injuries hiding trope.

darkness it shines the brightest — Vampire Mobius fic inspired by Netflix’s Midnight Mass

I can be the subject of your dreams, your sickening desire — another canon divergence for episode 4 with angry and jealous Mobius.

For Strings and Organ — after Loki’s Roxxcart betrayal, Mobius found him within an inch of his life and decided he wasn’t going to give up on him now.

keep on falling when I know it hurts — another one where Loki erased Mobius’s memories post-TVA because he wanted Mobius to be able to go back to his old life that was stolen from him. Loki did this for Mobius. The only problem is that he was having a difficult time letting Mobius go.

till the end of time — and another one where Loki thought he should let Mobius go. Mobius shared different beliefs.

and you can use my skin to bury secrets in — Loki read Mobius’s journal and learned about the feelings Mobius had for him.

If anybody has anything suggestions, please feel free to add to the list!
