Lights Out

Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: NC-17

Odin tells Loki he has two choices after Thor brings him back to Asgard: marry Thor (in a Thor-gets-to-control-him type of way), or die.

This one is painful to read, mainly because I'm such a Thor girl and while Loki hurting him makes sense from Loki's point of you, it hurts to see Thor so devastated again and again. I legit started tearing up in places, but overall it's a satisfying read.

The Groundhog Day-ish one where every life Thor remembers all the previous ones he's lived, and he and Loki find each other and live life together (or sometimes kill each other). Except this time, he hasn't found Loki for a millennia. I love love love the ending 💖

Thor goes clubbing and takes a body shot off a green-eyed stranger. That whole body shot sequence literally drew me in to the point where all background noises faded, and I was almost experiencing the shot with Thor. Hot and simmering and ugh.

Future Loki visits past Loki and they talk... among other things. I really like this idea of future Loki wanting to change things, and past Loki wanting to ensure he never turned into what he saw in his future.

In Your Dreams

Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: NC-17

So I already recc'd the first work in this series, In The Flesh, and I'm not certain these two are actually related in any way, but this one has interesting dialogue, a fantasy that's by turns sweet and heartbreaking, Thor and Loki being themselves (I like how Thor is coming into his own and becoming able to match wits and banter with Loki now, and I'm sure Loki does too, for all he probably was initially dismayed by this), and of course, scorching scorching sex. Good lord the sex.

Two Post-Ragnarok Hug Fics

Title: Reign of the Hammer & Homage
Author: Ralph_E_Silvering
Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: NC-17/Explicit

Two post-Ragnarok hug (and beyond) fics, as part of Ralph_E_Silvering's "Princes of Asgard" series. Reign of the Hammer has beautiful, burning hot UST, and Homage has some verbal teasing in it that manages to be scorchingly playful. I also love how "brother" is almost synonymous to "I love you" between these two, at this point (reminds me of "as you wish" from The Princess Bride :P).

“Was that what you needed, my king,” the mischievous voice, of the one person Thor truly needed in life, teased. “Was that homage enough for the ruler of Asgard?”

You Don't Have To Say You Love Me

Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: NC-17/Explicit

Thor and Loki, post-Ragnarok but also through the ages, being each other's firsts in all the ways that count. Not everything is resolved between them, and Loki can't promise that he won't leave Thor again whenever it suits him - but for now, they are together, and he is there.

“I would savor this.”

The answer gave Loki pause. His brother remained troubled.

“I thought you were dead,” Thor whispered, his voice close to breaking.

Loki dies in front of Thor, again, this time by Thanos's hand. But then Strange wants to know if he's even going to ask the question. The emotion in this piece was beautiful.

If You Were Here

Title: If You Were Here
Author: Catchclaw
Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: Mature

Catchclaw writes beautiful, beautiful Thor/Loki (her Sometimes The Old Ways Are Best was previously rec'd), her summary of this story - "after the destruction of Asgard, a hug: then and now" - is a gorgeously seamless interweaving of the past and present. Also, my favorite sentence, which somehow manages to be both hot and somehow heartbreaking:

Thor’s mouth at his ear, his voice solid and sure. “Spill yourself on me so next time I fight, I will remember why I must come home alive.”

Sometimes The Old Ways Are Best

Beautiful, beautiful story of Thor and Loki after Ragnarok, but also throughout the ages. I love the recurring themes (Thor's "Have faith, little brother, have faith"), and their steadfast love for each other through everything, through all. (Thor calling Loki "cricket" was a little odd to me, but hey, to each their own)

Thor darns stockings, embroiders, goes to spas, and otherwise cheerfully and unabashedly enjoys the hell out of "girly" activities. The story is also littered with references, and the whole thing sparkles with wit.
 
“But why are you dressed like that?” Tony wanted to know. “I am mostly heterosexual with a healthy dose of bi-curiosity and the sight of your manly thighs does not offend, but are you in need of a pair of sweatpants?”

XDDDDD.

ohfreckle writes ridiculously filthy burning hot pr0n, and holy fuck it's sizzling. This one has size kink as well as a couple of other things, and I strongly suggest being alone when reading it ^_~ And then go read all the author's other stuff, because goddamn.

Kings and Queens of Promise

The one where Jotun Loki is taken as Thor's spoil of war.

Ok, this one has rape in it, so be warned. Thor's not the one doing the raping though, but it's there. Warning aside, I do like how Thor and Loki gradually change their beliefs, attitudes and interactions towards one another in this story.

The one where 17-year-old Loki has an abusive stepfather, and one day witnesses Thor killing someone.

I like the dynamics between Thor and Loki here (even though there are some violent interactions), although some of the... problem-solving felt a little too neat. Still, a good read :)

Mad Man

Title: Mad Man
Author: griseldajane
Pairing: Thor/Loki
Rating: Mature

Thor is captured and brainwashed/conditioned before Loki can find him. I adore how griseldajane writes Loki's dialogue - he's always had such an elegant and eloquent way of speaking in the movie, and griseldajane does all of that justice - and so much more - in her writing; I can hear Loki speak when I read this piece. Also I love pieces that explore Loki's complex emotions regarding his brother, which ultimately end up in him (not always happily) admitting that he cares about Thor, and this delivers in spades.

(The rest of her stuff is gorgeous too).

The opposite of love

Rating: PG-13

Yet another hug fic. Because godDAMN they both needed it.

All things considered, Thor thought he had been holding up remarkably well. Losing his father, his place in the world, his hammer, his home, his eye. His boon companions. Possibly his friend Banner. Probably Loki -
 
But Loki was here.
 
...

Thor had been holding himself together with a cobbled together framework of determination and vengeance and grit and not thinking and covered all of it with a mantle of “god of thunder.”

But those two little words ripped the mantle away and knocked the foundation out and Thor fell into Loki’s embrace broken and exhausted, no god at all right now, but simply a man seeking the comfort of his brother’s arms.

Oh my boys.

Soulbond thingy. Honestly lightening Thor gets me so much more than half-naked Thor (not that I mind the abs... and the arms... XD), but this is gets more into the realistic logistics of Thor trying to manage his elemental seidr without Mjilnor.

Sweet Violent Urge

Thor comes out of prison and goes to find Loki, who put him there. I like that the dialogue feels true to the characters (even when Loki is hurting he can't stop from lashing out, and doubly so if he's made himself vulnerable), and the emotions come through clear and strong.
