Hello! Do you happen to know some slow-build thorki fics with a mix of confusion and hidden feelings? Thank you sm you're amazing btw ♡

The Unnamed Days by Clarice Chiara SorchaFollowing the events of Thor: The Dark World, Jane opens her home to Thor in the hopes that now he will have time enough to at last come to terms with everything that has happened to him in the past two years.As it turns out, Loki has plans of his own for his erstwhile elder brother and the mortal astrophysicist.

Waiting for the Moon to Rise by cavaleiraAs the newly crowned king of Asgard, Thor's life is filled with stress as he as he navigates political intrigue and struggles to figure out what kind of king he wants to be. Desperately in need of a night of relaxation, he finds himself at a brothel he used to frequent in his youth. It's there that Thor spends an evening in the arms of beautiful courtesan named Loki, and his whole world changes in ways he never could have imagined.

God of Lies by izazovThere are lines no one in Asgard should cross. Not even Asgard's two princes.

In the Grip of Grace by proantagonistWhen Loki learns the truth of his heritage, he quietly leaves Asgard behind. The search for the lost prince continues for nearly a year until Odin hires a professional tracker to find him, sending Thor along on the hunt to ensure Loki’s safe return. They locate him on Midgard, living on his own in a run down apartment—depressed, weakened, and trying very hard to disappear.

What Lies Beneath by punkfaeryLoki finds out about his true heritage a little earlier, and a sequence of bad decisions are made.

A Guy Could Do Worse by needleyecandyThor and Loki woke up from what should have been a lighthearted one-night stand to find themselves naked, hungover, and married. It shouldn't be that hard to end a Vegas marriage - celebrities do it all the time! - but life isn't as easy as it should be.

War is an art, love is a science by ravenbringslightDuring the campaign against Jotunheim, Thor takes Prince Loki captive. Their initial dislike is mutual, but they start to grow on each other.

Faceless by thefirstwhokneelsThere is a special tavern in Asgard where, in complete anonymity, anyone can have their desire granted.Both Thor and Loki share the passion for what the tavern provides - it is only that they don't know it of each other...

Bloom by mrhiddlesLoki is dead and Thor can finally grieve. But Loki is a liar and Thor should have known just what it required to be able to raise Mjolnir once more.

Ungolden by needleyecandyA simple challenge - three days of silence - proves to be less than simple, after all.

Risk by @the--mantling--darkThey’re playing truth or dare. Loki always takes dare.

White Lines (don’t don’t do it) by ohfreckleLoki needs money, a lot of it and quickly. Thor Odinson may be just the man to help him.

[thorvaenn]

Hey there Diana, pretty please, do you know any dark fics? I mean really dark, where Thor and Loki do truly love each other but it's full of dark themes and angst? Anything that left you devastated is my sorta thing. Thank you!!

Out of the Mouths of Babes and The March of the Damned by Rynfinity“He’s my brother,” Thor says with a shrug. “I don’t expect you to understand.”

Dead wings carried like a paper kite by illwyndIn the heat of battle, Loki kills his brother. As soon as Thor lies dead at his feet, though, he realizes this is not what he wanted. So he brings Thor back, and surely all is well again. Right?

I Remember a Shadow by illwyndAfter centuries of sibling rivalry, Thor and Loki at last receive the news of which one of them the Allfather has chosen as heir. Loki takes the decision to heart far more than anyone around him knows.

One for sorrow by thebookhunterLoki catches his brother sex chatting girls online behind Jane’s back. Thor is a real asshole about it. He’s a real asshole, period. He deserves a lesson. And Loki deserves revenge. He sets up a profile as a fictional girl to entrap his brother and ruin what he has with Jane. Or that was the plan. As it happens, things don’t go quite as expected.

Everything We Lost by ravenbringslightThor and Loki make love in the flowers.

Waiting To Be All Right by thisdorkyficthingTheir house is big, nice and remote, which makes him think someone has broken in for a moment before he notices nothing is out of place. He climbs up the stairs to the second floor, his heart begins beating in a rapid pace and he feels his stomach twist with nerves.

Look To The Sky by karuvapattaMost of his pleasant daydreams started like this: Asgard in ruins at his feet. And yet Loki felt very little satisfaction as he stepped over the wreckage.

Mad Man by griseldajaneWhen Loki discovers that Thor has seemingly vanished from the nine realms, he uses all the tricks at his disposal to find his missing brother, including teaming up with the Avengers.In the meantime, Thor is pushed past his breaking point and may have forever lost his way.

Happily (N)ever After by izazovLoki’s best friend stupidly gets himself cursed and turned into a frog. Loki’s life grows progressively worse afterwards.

do you know of any angsty amnesia/memory loss fics? loki or thor forgetting stuff, doesnt matter who-- as long as they both suffer lol

Forget Me Not by ravenbringslightLoki and Thor wake up in the woods with no memory of who they are or how they got there. All they can piece together is that it seems like they’ve been traveling together…and that they are absurdly attracted to each other…

When The Storm Arrives by CalamityCain What happens when Loki is backed into a corner with nowhere for him – or the Space Gem – to go.

Side Effects: May Cause Memory Loss and a Sudden Urge to Sex Up Your Brother by thisdorkyficthingWhen Thor finally wakes from his deep slumber, it’s in the early morning with only him and Loki in the hospital room.

If you forget me by amberfox17His house is small, with a door in each side: north, south, east and west. It is made exactly for one, with one long, narrow bed, one wide, comfortable chair, one perfectly circular table with just one stool. He has one bowl, one cup, one plate, one fork and one spoon.He does not notice the lack of a knife for a very long time.

the only place that I call home by kiyalaLoki has always seen Thor at his regular bar every Friday night after work. But once they start talking, everything begins to change and soon, Loki begins questioning everything that he thought he knew about himself. 

Variations on a Theme by proantagonist -  Chapter 9 Thor has lost his memories.Loki could not be more delighted.

[thorvaenn]

Hi, may I ask you to reccomend some really sad thorki fics. Like nothing fixes? I crave some angst! Thank you in advance!!!

a lot of this will be by @illwynd but no regrets here because they really are a master of the angst and creep.

Sea and Storm by illwyndA storm. A shipwreck in the middle of the ocean. Sailors bobbing on the water, struggling to survive against the hostile creatures of the deep. But there is always more to the story than that.

Over Now by illwyndA dark post-Ragnarok ficlet in which things are not okay.

Dead wings carried like a paper kite by illwyndIn the heat of battle, Loki kills his brother. As soon as Thor lies dead at his feet, though, he realizes this is not what he wanted. So he brings Thor back, and surely all is well again. Right?

The Joy of Vivisection by illwyndWith Odin asleep and Thor banished, instead of trying to use the Bifrost for his purposes Loki comes up with a somewhat different way of dealing with his Jotun problem…

Beautiful by illwyndLoki conjures a pair of Thors. He and Thor watch. Then he wants Thor to join them, because they’re all beautiful.

Mad Man by griseldajaneWhen Loki discovers that Thor has seemingly vanished from the nine realms, he uses all the tricks at his disposal to find his missing brother, including teaming up with the Avengers.In the meantime, Thor is pushed past his breaking point and may have forever lost his way.

What Once Was Mine by shadow_in_the_shade“In the aftermath of it all Thor’s feet return him to this place – treacherous feet, marching him like gaolers to what is left of Loki’s cell. As if he has not mourned enough, no less painfully for it being in silence, his heart must bring him here to break loudly in his chest. For no, he cannot mourn enough; nor, he suspects, should he ever stop.”

Moonrise by ravenbringslightThor found the Jotun covered in blood and half-dead, left in the forest to die for Norns knew what reason, and he scooped the poor thing up and brought it home. Jotnar were the enemy, he knew, but this one was so small and broken that it tugged at the tender corner of his heart, and he couldn’t bear to just leave it to die.

a lack of color by cavaleiraThor has always loved the idea of soulmates.

[thorvaenn]

Hi, I know you’ve answered similar asks before, but I’ve read them all and now I have no purpose in life. Could you please recommend any other fandom classics or just amazing long ass fics that you haven’t mentioned yet?

Well I can’t guarantee I haven’t mentioned any of these yet, but perhaps some that could have slipped through the cracks:

In Plain Sight by dreamlittleyoLoki may not want to be found, but that won’t stop Thor from searching.

Avaricious by SilverLynxxThor has Loki kneeling naked and hungry at his feet, and he has every intention of giving Loki exactly what he wants. Eventually.

At times we tie our own leash by thefirstwhokneelsAU, in which the Jötnar attack Asgard and along with the Casket, they take Odin’s most cherished treasure.

highway skies and thunder seas by miikkaa_xxThor teaches Loki respect, but the lesson is a little skewed.

Coalescence by cavaleira“Loki was never supposed to be a pilot.”

Just One Night by thisdorkyficthingHe finally stopped at a brightly lit building, covered in red and white light bulbs that seemed to twinkle. He snuck in with a crowd of other men and shuffled through in the packed hall. The music was loud and upbeat and it made Thor’s heart speed up.

There is a pleasure in the pathless woods by amberfox17The signs are clear. The Forest God is angry and only one thing will appease him: the willing sacrifice of his most beloved mortal, the mighty Thor.

Spectacles by Hermaline75Loki makes an unwise bet to ask out a person of Tony’s choosing. Tony picks Thor. Loki finds himself more intrigued than he expected to be by this prospect.

Resonance by mrhiddles“Golden and spoiled,” Thor spits at him. “Spoiled with the love of a brother who I’ve been forced to see spurn me for something I had no part in! Gilded in the lies of a father who thought to gift me in sharing the burden of his thievery! For loving you,” he roars, standing. “An ungrateful brother who won’t so much as let me embrace him, to bring him home.“

Stolen Fruit is Sweetest by lazulisong It wasn’t a terrible fight or anything, it was just that Thor had taken the brunt of the attack. You really could hurt a god if you hit it enough, Tony guessed.

[thorvaenn]

in the mood for angsty, like really angsty fics, preferably focusing on Loki. :)

[thorvaenn]

Hi, once again thank you for all your recs! Do you possibly know denial Thorki fics? I mean the ones where they are together but in denial about it / head over heels in love each other but resist it at all cost? Thanks in advance.

A great example is:

By touch we are betrayed by amberfox17

5 times Loki and Thor had a threesome and one time they cut out the middleman/woman. Angsty porn with feelings and of course, a signature happy ending.

also the currently running

One for sorrow by thebookhunter

Loki catches his brother sex chatting girls online behind Jane’s back. Thor is a real asshole about it. He’s a real asshole, period. He deserves a lesson. And Loki deserves revenge. He sets up a profile as a fictional girl to entrap his brother and ruin what he has with Jane. Or that was the plan. As it happens, things don’t go quite as expected.

[thorvaenn]

Hi there! Do you have any Thor-centric fic recs? Or any fics that portrays a good characterisation of Thor without being overshadowed by Loki? It's just... I get so annoyed seeing so much Loki stuff. He's too oversaturated in my opinion. I tried going through AO3 but it's so Loki-saturated that I kinda gave up...

I assume you mean Thorki fics? Because I don’t really read anything else, I always seem to overlook gen or I just don’t know how to find any I’d like.

But as for Thor-centric or generally very satisfying when it comes to Thor’s role or character, or when hurt/comfort that Thor being the one comforted:

[thorvaenn]

Hi! ^^ I'm new here in the fandom, I like reading a lot and from what I've seen you're doing fic recs (?) So.. I was wondering if you could point out some Thorki fics where Loki hurts Thor repeatedly, but I'm not talking about physical pain... If you can help me, please (Canon divergence or AUs, everything is okay)

Hah, does he ever do anything else?

Pas de Deux by ravenbringslight

Bitter high school senior Loki snoops through his older brother’s things and not-so-accidentally finds his diary. He decides to use the information not for good or for evil, but for chaos.

Heart’s Desire by Rynfinity

Tuesday-Thursday Noon ‘til Nine, the neatly printed sign in the door reads. Thor breathes out a little sigh of relief; it hadn’t turned out to be as short a walk as he’d thought, and he’d more than half expected to find the shop closed already. Three small bells clink and jingle as he pushes the door open. There’s no one around; just a sleek black cat stretching and yawning in a blanket-filled basket at the base of the counter. The store smells richly of ink and good paper. Beautiful.

Familiarity by karuvapatta

This quest was a chance for Thor to spend time with his brother and to mend the distance between them – but Fates laugh when gods make plans, do they not?

A Wished-For Song by cavaleira

In which Thor is forced to become king and Loki returns from parts unknown.

and I’ll throw in my Lights Out as well

[thorvaenn]

hey ^_^ since you seem to have tons of fic recs, might as well try my own luck here, right? :3 Any whump! or torture recovery Loki fic recs? Doesnt have to be 100% Thorki, but even better if it is! thanks :3

This is a bit tougher because I’m pretty particular about what Loki whump I can and can’t take. I will also include some very old, like Avengers era fic that I had bookmarked but didn’t look at for years so idk how well they held up.

Hi Diana, can I ask for any fic recs where Loki is grieving over Thor? Whether Thor is dead or not is good

Dead wings carried like a paper kite by illwyndIn the heat of battle, Loki kills his brother. As soon as Thor lies dead at his feet, though, he realizes this is not what he wanted. So he brings Thor back, and surely all is well again. Right?

Beautiful by illwyndLoki conjures a pair of Thors. He and Thor watch. Then he wants Thor to join them, because they're all beautiful.

Running Out of Options by ikoliholic“Is this what it was to mourn me, brother?” Loki pleaded.Yes, seven successful days of lies, trickery and brown-nosing for bettering his new life — but Loki knew it would take much longer to escape the plagues of his own mind.
