Summary
"Why are you helping me?"
Don pauses in his administration. Why is he helping this blue man who terrorized New York and killed numerous people not even a year ago? He looks at the arm in his lap, bloody and stiff. One that could kill him and his children in seconds.
"Because I have a death wish," he chuckles and shakes his head, "And it's the right thing to do."
Or Don helps a forsaken Jotun find his glorious purpose.
What if...Thor never asked for Loki's help?

Summary
"Loki," she says, "You are so special. I wish Odin could see it. Don't lose yourself trying to be someone you're not."
"No one likes me as me, Mother."
A sudden soberness comes over her. "The right person will love you for everything you are. You just have to give them time."
Loki scoffs. "How much time? Forever."
Or Loki falls in love with the enemy. It goes about as well as you expect.

Summary
Mobius doesn't want to die. Of course he doesn't. But the universe doesn't give him pleasantries like that. It never does.
(AKA they missed something when Mobius came back from the loom and now he's paying for it.)

Summary
This man is truley insane. There are no if, ands, or buts about it. Anyone who would help the God of Mischief stay on Earth against the wishes of the entire populace must have lost a few screws. Loki is doomed.
(AKA once upon Stark Tower there was an age old disgraced prince and a amnesiac S.H.I.E.L.D agent.)
What if...Loki had survived Thanos?

Summary
He hears O.B. and B-15 scream his name but he's swallowed in blue. He feels as if every cell in his body is being torn apart. He sees images. The loom. Asgard. Cleveland. McDonald's. The TVA. The loom, Asgard, Cleveland, McDonald's, the TVA. Theloomasgardclevelandmcdonald'sthetva. It goes faster and faster. He can't think. He can't breathe. He's being crushed. He's going to die. Mobius is going to die.
Or Mobius uses the Space Stone to find Loki. It's a lot harder than it looks.

A series of drabbles for my own indulgence. They have been separated from the main collection so they are easier to find in their own category.
Love comes in many forms and lights.

Summary
They don't say ‘I love you’ but they do say ‘you okay?’ and it means the same thing.
When the Loom melts down and damages the TVA, Loki is sent slipping uncontrollably through time.
Our TVA family finds themselves back on their timelines, reset to their original Nexus Events, but with a twist- no one gets the memories of their lives back.
Loki must find his family and bring them together to rebuild the TVA and prevent Multiversal War.That is, if they don’t fall in love with life on the timeline first.
This work is complete. The main story takes place between Chapters 1-41. Everything else is bonus content.
The goal of this story is to provide content for a community who misses the TVA family. It's an extreme slow burn, deep dive into the dynamics between Loki, Mobius, Brad, Casey, Sylvie, OB, Hunter B-15, and Victor Timely.(Optional:) To maintain proper pacing, the recommended way to consume this fic is one chapter at the same time every week like a TV show, the same way it was written.
(Loki, Mobius, and Brad centric, mostly in their POV. More tags in notes)

Summary
mostly post-falcon & the winter soldier, mostly focused on sam/bucky and also their relationships with other people around them/outsider pov gossip. fics are a mix of texts/interviews/social media/buzzfeed articles/in-universe fanfiction/normal fics.
everything is obsessively formatted - the texts will literally look like texts on your screen. there's a lot of snark energy, bisexual energy, new york references, and end notes that could be much shorter but are not. it's a series rather than one fic because sometimes i am not linear and it's easier for all of us if i just slot something in earlier in the series than change the chapter order.
idk, mostly my goal with this series is for people who like sam, bucky, sam/bucky, or the mcu overall to just have a good time. i love comments/kudos, but if it's making your day better/making you feel a little more seen, that's really what matters. <3
