❄️⚡🐍2024 Thorki Secret Santa Masterlist 🐍⚡❄️ alphabetically ordered.

a conspiracy of love by MoonGoddex, for darklittlestory

Loki doesn't ruin Yule, but he gets blamed for it anyway. Thor takes him to Midgard for a few days of peace.

Be my Lover by nerosgruft for Lost_Sanctuary

Jane was searching for the tall, blond, gorgeous Prince, but when she finally caught a glimpse of him, he was busy otherwise.

Borrowed Traditions by Mawg for dea_ex_machina

Loki and Thor bring back some Midgardian decorations, and share a private moment in the throne room. Done for dea_ex_machina for the prompt: Yule in Asgard. For the 2024 Thorki Secret Santa!

Driving home for Christmas by Julicorn (Jewelbug) for TheUsagi1995

Loki comes home for Christmas, for the first time since he moved out. There's a reason why he has kept his distance, and it's very much about his older brother.

Growing pains by dea_ex_machina for nerosgruft

After Asgard's destruction, the refugees on the Statesman find themselves on the brink of starvation. Fortunately, their new king happens to be a fertility god. But where saving his people from extinction by the hands of an ancient demon fell right into Thor's line of expertise, he now has to face the harsh reality of his complete incompetence at growing things - and on a spaceship at that. Luckily, he has a very resourceful brother back at his side...

Illusions of Love by Drachenkinder for Tellurion

After his vision by the Scarlet Witch, Thor goes looking for answers. At least that is what he tells Eric Selvig when they reach the well of worlds. In truth he's seeking his dead brother Loki to bring him back. For there was too much broken and left unsaid between them.

Snowglobes by viruxlent for Storybelle

Soft domestic Christmas Thorki

Spirals by darklittlestory for Drachenkinder

Thor despairs of ever getting his wish: Someone confident enough to to really test his limits. To put him on his knees, on his back. No one has met the challenge.

Then he meets Loki.

Starcrossed by Storybelle for viruxlent

Thor knows perfectly well what he is - Asgardian, warrior, in love. And yes, maybe fool too, if he tries to be all of those things in symphony.

Teasing Works for Them by Lost_Sanctuary for Sigynthefaithful

Loki returns home after some traveling around Midgard. Thor is happy to have him home.

the bonds that remain by lavenderandlace for Jewelbug

Thor, with all that has happened between them, had been by his side in the end, hadn’t he?

What a fool.

A lovely wonderful fool.

Wedding Jitters by Drachenkinder for Tellurion

Loki has way too much time on his hands before his wedding. Bad memories and worries and decisions. Surely a drink to calm his nerves can't hurt.

When Things Align by Sigynthefaithful for Mawg

What happened after Loki came back from the limbo where he had a most depressing talk with Old Loki and Kid Loki and decided they were talking mostly bullshit. Thor appears unexpectedly, doing unexpected things. Said things align :D

Wherever You Go, That's Where I'll Follow by ThorBlossom for thorarms

Loki is a werewolf hidden among vampires. He is shunned by all, except Thor, his overly devoted nephew, who likes him far too much.

Whispers of the Winter Crown by TheUsagi1995 for MoonGoddex

At long last, the furious tremors eased, leaving Loki drenched in sweat and barely conscious. He slid off Thor’s now softening length and was then spewed against him, a puppet with his strings cut. A God who had been worshiped. A Man who had been… Redeemed. Hollowed out by too many horrors, too much death, and refilled by a love he had so fiercely denied, cradled by hands which adorned his neck like jewels. Not to hurt—never to hurt. For a fraction of a second, everything stilled and faded, the Aesir glamour bleeding away, revealing the enchanting beauty of the icy blue of the frost giants. Thor blinked, uttered stunned to silence, struck by awe so deep it reached his core and set him aflame.

-------------------

Yuletide at the End of the Universe by Tellurion for ThorBlossom

At the encouragement of his Party variant, Thor comes to find his brother on his throne, to wish him a very Happy Yule.

Marvel Fic Recs | Loki&Thor (GEN)

let me prefice by saying this is all gen (non slash) fanfiction. if you are looking for thorki you are looking on the wrong blog sorry.

so i as the youngest of four brothers and the one hated the most by my parents, i have always had a soft spot for brotherly fic. Thor and Loki's dynamic really resonated with me as i went through my teen angst phase while my older brothers were all getting ready to settle down and were all already married. so if you are looking for a fic rec that centers the brotherly relationship between thor & loki you have found the right place.

one last warning is that most of these are loki-centric in case thats not your thing.

life's great lie by Laeveteinn Teen+ 7,787 Loki stares at his hands, slowly realizing that magic still works in the TVA. Perhaps not every kind, but Asgard’s sorcery can take hold here- in particular, Asgard’s illusion magic. Loki’s proven it with every step he’s taken. If magic didn’t work at all, he’d be entirely blue. (Or: even beyond the edges of space and time, he is Loki of Asgard.)

Cute post loki season 1 fic

i couldn't change (though i wanted to); by unintentionallyangsty General Audiences 20,640 Given the team's circumstances--travelling through the cosmos and headed for Midgard on a previously unplanned voyage--Loki taking up a newfound fondness for shapeshifting on a whim is hardly the weirdest thing that has happened to any single member of the Revengers in the past several months.  In fact, it doesn't even make the top three.  (Or; Three times Loki shapeshifts following Ragnarok, and one (1) time he does not. (Alternatively, how Loki unintentionally ends up bonding with the Revengers on the Statesman as a number of different creatures)).

so cute - this fic has influenced many of my loki headcanons and is just adorable

run down the vows of me by siv_siv_siv Mature 44,609 Thor is banished to Midgard. Only, this time, Loki is banished with him. An alternate Thor (2011) fic, where Loki tells the truth about letting the Jotnar into the vault, just after discovering the truth of his heritage on Jotunheim.

thor rewrite that focuses on thor and loki growing together during the movie plot.

~ Comeback ~ by anastacianott General Audiences (I would rate Teen+) 63,867 AU: Coming back for Loki's abandoned body led to the most incredible results Thor could ever imagine. Post Thor TDW.

shameless h/c fic set post t:tdw

Let Me Know if It Gets Above a Six by Sundial_at_Night Teen+ 65,188 “Mr. Loki?” asked the Spider cautiously. “Aren’t you—like—a bad guy?” he asked, voice full of only curiosity, as far as Loki could tell. His first thought was, yes. His second thought was no. His third thought was, sometimes? “It varies from moment to moment,” Loki answered honestly, prying his eyes open after they threatened to fall close. “But on a scale of one to ten, where are you at right now?” “Maybe a three?” The Spider-child nodded. “Cool,” he replied. “Let me know if it gets above a six. Or: Five times Peter Parker was there for Loki when it 'got above a six', and one time he wasn’t.

Im gonna be real with you the thor&loki takes a backseat to the loki&peter parker in this one but it is absolutely amazing and so much fun.

On Yonder Hill by bedlamsbard Not Rated (Id say Teen+) 80,394 “This is a terrible plan,” Loki said. “Absolutely dreadful.” “But you’ll do it, right?” Bruce said. “Of course.”   Five years ago, Thor died on the Statesman and Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe. Now the Avengers have a plan to undo the Snap, but they're going to need the help of the last King of Asgard. That's not a problem; that's where things get interesting. That tends to happen around the God of Mischief.

avengers endgame rewrite that focuses on loki after losing thor and his efforts to bring him back along with those snapped

Memento Mori by GwendolynStacy Teen+ 81,637 Of the many people capable of carrying the fate of the universe on their shoulders by travelling back in time, Loki would have been the first choice of exactly nobody. With no allies, no plan and nobody on his side, Loki will just have to wing it. Or: That awkward moment when you've completed your redemption arc, but nobody else got the memo.

another time travel fix-it that i honeslty don't remember the specifics of but i must have loved it since it was in my bookmarks.

Grievance by PeaceHeather (Restricted) Not Rated 92,518 For a fill in Round 17 of Norsekink: "Someone starts to notice that Odin treats Loki in ways that are neglectfull and borderline abusive and starts to feel very uncomfortable about it. It becomes worse when people at court start to take after Odin's treatment of Loki. But they still don't feel comfortable voicing they're doubts out loud. And then the lip-sewing incident happens and they can no longer sit idly by while this happens. So this person just stand up and calls the rest of Asgard out on this bulshit, seriously the boy just cut of some hair, it's not like it wont ever grow back on it's own again.

loki-centric but has great loki & thor content within. is not the most friendly to odin or the warriors three though... but it has some great references to mythology thrown in!

also you have to have an ao3 account to read.

Fate's Guardian by PeaceHeather  (Restricted) Teen+ 98,531 Set roughly a year post-Thor:TDW, reference to events in Guardians of the Galaxy. Pretty much a shameless fixit fic. No pairings. A being shows up on Earth looking for Loki, the Avengers get pulled in to see what's going on, and they all learn what Loki has *really* been up to all this time. I dunno, I was in a mood to write something like this, so I did. First posted to FFnet, if you prefer to read it there.

by the same author as grievance. also need and ao3 account to access this one. shameless fix-it fic that is loki-centric. loki is the anti-hero/hero in this one but it is heavy with thor&loki content.

Skýli by PeaceHeather  (Restricted) Not Rated (Mature) 111,988 See also "Skeletons, Scenes, and Snippets" Chapter 9 - the one where Asgard's magic users go on strike and quietly evacuate Asgard, after Odin passes sentence on Loki post-Avengers. Some of them turn up on Earth, and SHIELD has to assess whether or not this is another invasion. or: SHIELD is called to Iceland to investigate a village that appeared out of nowhere, and discovers that Asgard's magic users have quietly gone on strike and left their realm completely. The reasons are unsettling, and the potential consequences could shake the Nine Realms before all is said and done.

So far, no one has wound up on as many fic recs of mine as PeaceHeather. they are probably my favorite fanfiction author of all time - having written 3 fics that are on my favorite fanfiction of all time rec. this one did slip through the cracks when i initially made this list because i had gone through my bookmarks for the loki&thor tag but this one has no relationships tagged.

it is another brainwashed loki fic that deals with asgardian politics, the avengers, and expands upon the magic system within the thor movies.

You Screamed For So Long We Forgot To Care Anymore by GalaxyThreads Teen+ 126,180 Five months after Thor drags his half-dead brother to Earth to plead asylum, things take a turn for the worse. With the older Asgardian out of commission and a sizeable threat overshadowing them, Clint becomes aware of two facts: One: Loki was tortured, mind-controlled, and manipulated into attacking Earth. Two: Loki knows none of this. (gen, no smut)

mind controlled and tortured loki with heavy hurt/comfort and a focus on thor & loki. the other avengers are also in this one

Awake Within a Dream by Thursdays_Angel Teen+ 126,582 What if Loki had believed the invasion and subsequent battle on Midgard to have been nothing more than an illusion?

tortured!loki and a lot of hurt/comfort. odin is good in this one.

Castles in the Air by cosmic_medusa Teen+ 182,326 Loki's first act as King is to collect his banished brother to aid his regency, however brief. Thor discovers that the political landscape is far from what it seemed, and that the lies of Odin have resulted in the threat of both his sons' safety and sanity. Drama, angst, double-crosses, butchering of folklore and history, and the epic bromance of Asgard's Princes ensues.

up there as one of the best pieces of fanfiction ive ever read. god i love when these fics explore asgardian politics and norse mythology. This focuses on loki as king and thor's relationship with him during it.

Ásgarðrian Galdr by Valerie_Vancollie Teen+ 479,713 What if Loki was able to warn his past self, so he did not lose control during his regency and was able to act as he normally would? What if he had been able to remain calm and in control of himself, and the situation? "How?" Loki demanded. "Betrayal," his future self stated simply, rage clear in every syllable. "But you must control your reaction and come to see me, or you will repeat my mistakes and we will miss an opportunity to take control and alter things in our favor." It would have changed everything.

this is literature disguised as a marvel time travel fanfiction. god this is amazing and has everything i love in this side of the fandom - politics, sci-fi, mythology... it's supposed to have 3 sequels but im not exactly counting on it. its still beyond amazing standing on its own. the things i would do to have a physical copy of this....

i'm not currently hyperfixated on these two but going through my bookmarks has brought me great joy. I might add more to this one day or maybe not. i'd love to hear your thoughts if you read any of these!

❝All the King's Horses❞ (Pt. I)

pairing: loki x thor

✰ summary - When Thor ascends the throne after Odin’s death, Loki knows his place as a subject. But Thor's devotion runs deeper than brotherhood. In the shadow of Asgard’s golden halls, can Loki resist the will of his King?

✰ tags//warnings: alternate universe, dark!thor, pseudo-incest, love confessions, dark magic, power imbalance, forced relationship, soul bond. Part II. AO3.

✰ a/n: I've been very vocal in the past about how much I do not like Thorki, so this feels kind of hypocritical. That said, it's mostly because people always write it as a cute, fluffy relationship and I just know... it wouldn't be like that. Adopted or not, this is incest and not healthy by definition. I wrote this story envisioning a dynamic that is very much abusive and non-consensual, so you've been warned.

*･༓˚✧*･༓˚✧*･༓˚✧*･༓˚✧*･༓˚✧*･༓˚✧*･༓

The golden light of the throne room seemed harsher than usual. It gleamed off the polished walls and set Loki's dark hair aglow like a raven's wing. He stood at the edge of the dais, his hands clasped behind his back, his posture deceptively calm. Yet his heart betrayed him with its uneven rhythm, the treacherous thrum of unease.

Thor sat on the throne, a shadow of their father in his regal bearing, yet undeniably himself—proud, broad, unyielding. The weight of Mjölnir rested against the throne's arm, a symbol of his power, his right to rule.

Loki’s voice broke the heavy silence, smooth and unruffled as ever. “The All-Father would be proud, I’m sure.”

Thor smiled, the kind of smile that felt like a sunrise breaking across a battlefield or the warmth of a summer morning. “And what of you, brother? Are you proud?”

The word brother hung in the air like the toll of a distant bell—resonant, almost mournful. Loki shifted on his feet.

“I am but your humble subject now, Your Majesty,” he replied, his lips curling into something faintly sardonic, his emerald eyes flicking up to meet Thor’s. “It would not matter what I feel.”

Thor rose, his steps echoing through the hall as he descended the dais. Loki hated the way his pulse quickened at the sight of him, the way Thor’s sheer presence filled the room like a storm threatening to break.

“You matter,” Thor said, stopping mere inches from him. His voice was low, almost tender, yet there was a gravity in it that made Loki’s breath catch. “You always matter to me.”

Loki’s mask slipped for only a heartbeat, a flicker of unease cracking the surface. “How magnanimous of you,” he said, the sharpness in his tone a thin veil over his discomfort.

Thor reached out, brushing a hand against Loki’s arm. The gesture was fleeting, but it carried a weight that made Loki’s skin burn.

“I made it special,” Thor said, his voice almost a whisper, but it carried the power of a confession. “Just for you.”

Loki’s gaze darted to the golden goblet Thor held out to him. Intricate runes carved along its surface shimmered in the light. They weren’t just decorative—Loki recognized the bindrunes immediately. The pattern was unmistakable, ancient and sacred, the kind meant to signify love and devotion. He could feel their energy emanating from the cup, almost as if they whispered promises in a language too old to be spoken aloud.

He hesitated. “This…” He trailed off, his eyes narrowing. “Is for me?” 

“For you,” Thor confirmed, his voice steady, his eyes earnest.

“Do you even understand what they mean?” Loki arched an eyebrow, an edge creeping into his voice.

Thor stepped closer, his towering frame now invading Loki’s personal space entirely. “Do you?”

Loki’s lips pressed into a thin line. Of course he did—better than Thor ever could. He’d studied these runes, felt their power, and knew what they represented. This was not a careless act. Thor had chosen these deliberately.

“This is not something you can offer lightly,” Loki said, his voice darker now, wary. “Runes like these... they bind, Thor. They demand truth, fidelity.”

Thor tilted his head slightly, his expression softening. “Do you believe I do anything lightly when it comes to you?”

Loki’s chest tightened. He wanted to laugh, to deflect, to cut Thor down with some biting retort, but his tongue felt heavy.

“You assume too much,” Loki managed at last, his voice brittle.

“And you assume too little,” Thor countered, holding the goblet closer to him. “Take it.”

The command in his voice was subtle but undeniable. When Loki didn’t immediately obey, Thor added, “Drink, Loki. I had it made not for a subject, not for a servant, but for you. As you are. No masks, no schemes. Just you.”

Loki’s hands trembled as he reached for the goblet. His fingers brushed Thor’s, and the warmth of his skin sent a shiver up his spine. The runes seemed to pulse with life, as though they were aware of Loki’s hesitation, aware of his turmoil. He stared into the liquid within, its surface reflecting the light of the hall and distorting his own image. 

Thor’s voice broke through his thoughts, soft but insistent. “You bowed to me, during my coronation. Pledged allegiance to me. If you spoke the truth, then, what have you to fear? The runes will not bind you to me, anymore than your vows already have.” 

Loki’s gaze flicked upward, meeting Thor’s. It was a lie, of course. Were the circumstances different, he would be impressed. He’d never known of his brother’s talent for manipulation. With this one gesture, Thor was asking for a different kind of devotion, not the type a subject had for his king, and they both knew it. 

For a long moment, they stood in silence, the air between them heavy with tension, with unspoken words, with the weight of choices yet to be made. He had no say in the matter, truly. He never had. Finally, Loki lifted the goblet to his lips, the cool metal brushing against his skin as the runes hummed with approval.

The goblet’s contents were warm as they slid down Loki’s throat, rich and heady, unlike any mead he’d tasted before. The runes carved into the gold seemed to pulse as if in recognition, their soft glow intensifying for a moment before fading back into the intricate design. Loki’s chest tightened as a strange sensation rippled through him—not pain, but a warmth that coiled like a serpent around his ribs, its grip tightening with every breath.

He lowered the goblet, his fingers trembling. The room suddenly felt suffocating, the air too thick to draw in properly. Loki’s first instinct was to lash out, to cast the goblet away and spit some venomous remark at Thor. Yet he couldn’t move.

Thor was watching him closely, his blue eyes sharp and assessing, like a hunter waiting for his prey to react to the snare.

“What have you done?” Loki finally rasped, his voice strained.

These were not mere love runes. Underneath, there was something else.

Thor stepped closer, his expression unreadable, though his tone was soft—almost soothing. “Only what was necessary.”

Loki staggered back a step, but Thor caught his arm, his grip firm, unyielding.

“Let go of me,” Loki hissed, though there was no power behind the words.

“I can’t,” Thor said simply, his voice steady as a mountain. “Not now. Not ever.”

The weight of Thor’s words crashed down on Loki like a hammer. The warmth spreading through his body wasn’t fading—it was growing, binding itself to him. His magic, always a steady hum at the edge of his awareness, faltered and twisted. He felt... tethered, as though an invisible chain now linked him to Thor.

“What is this?” Loki demanded, panic creeping into his voice despite himself. “What have you done to me?”

“The runes… they bind us, Loki. You cannot lie to me now, nor act against me.” Thor’s gaze softened, but there was no regret in it. “Worry not, brother. You are safe with me.”

Safe. The word rang hollow in Loki’s ears. He wrenched his arm free, but the effort left him trembling.

“Safe?” he spat, his voice rising. “You dare speak of safety while binding me like a prisoner?”

Thor’s expression hardened. “No one but me can keep you safe, Loki. From others, and from yourself.”

Who will save me from you, though? Loki thought, but he did not say it aloud. His tongue, as sharp as ever, felt leaden now, weighed down by the binding magic. He turned away, his mind racing. This was worse than a cage—it was a collar, one forged with ancient magic that no blade or spell could sever. And Thor… Thor was holding the chain.

“Why have you done this?” Loki said, his voice quieter now, the defiance in it diminished but not extinguished. “I would not have betrayed you. I would not have .”

“So you say,” Thor replied. He stepped closer again, his presence enveloping, suffocating. “Your trickery is well known across the Realms, Loki. It’s become clear to me that you cannot be trusted. My hand was forced. It was either this, or exile.”

Loki wanted to laugh, to sneer, to fight, but every part of him screamed that it would be futile. Thor wasn’t simply his King now—he was his keeper. And Loki, for all his cleverness, had no idea how to free himself from this prison.

He turned to meet Thor’s gaze, his green eyes blazing with a mixture of hatred and anguish. “I am not yours to keep.”

“Perhaps not. But I am your King.” Thor smiled faintly, tilting his head. “You will learn to accept this, with time.”

Rules: List the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there's a pattern

Tagged by @berlynn-wohl. Ty!! It's been a while since I've done this one. Probably a whole new crop.

The Agreement (Blood Brothers!thorki) It hasn’t been going on more than six months when they agree to stop.

A Song in the Key of Death (thorki AU spookyfic) Hero worship is easy when you’re a high school outcast. Especially when your hero is Thor.

LMD (thorki) The world held its breath.

Still you lead me and I follow (thorki for bottomThoruary) Thor likes it hard.

What You Are in the Dark (thorki spookyfic) Anyone else, maybe, would have been grateful.

Illegal (thorki crack) “Brother, look at this!” Thor calls out (far louder than necessary, if one is being honest), hurriedly shoving the screen of his Starkphone in front of his brother’s face, where Loki lounges on the bed beside him.

Lokabrenna (Loki, Norse myth) He doesn’t know where the fire came into it. But it somehow always does, doesn’t it?

Alligator Tears (thorki, lokicest, alligathorki) In his own timeline, everything was different.

Unsaid (thorki) “Damn you,” Loki hissed, pulling at this bonds, the metal cuffs that pinned his wrists, the shackles on his feet, even the chains that always seemed to end up wrapped ludicrously about his waist whenever anyone meant to restrain him and wanted to make entirely sure of the fact.

The Bold One (thorki) “Give us a kiss,” Thor said, grinning while he bled, stretched out upon the cot with his tunic cut away while the healers hovered over him and Loki stayed near, trying not to worry.

So lol yeah I think there might be some trends there XD

Tagging, oh, @gorgeousgalatea, @philosopherking1887, @seamayweed, and anyone else who feels like doing the meme, I blanket-tag you :D

[iamnmbr3]

for that ask thingy you just reblogged, could i perhaps say loki and/or thor?

Sure! I can do both.

How I feel about this character

I really enjoy both Loki & Thor (in their original incarnations, not the TR retcon versions. Or the Loki Show - which legitimately made Cursed Child look well written and canon compliant). I find them to be really interesting, deeply flawed and dynamic characters. I think the fact that they have a very different world view due to being magical alien space vikings with extremely different values and perspectives than most modern day humans makes for some very interesting storytelling.

All the people I ship romantically with this character

I find thorki to be a really interesting ship as I think it heightens the stakes and tensions surrounding their fraught relationship and also allows for the exploration of a number of really interesting themes, character arcs and and plot structures, depending on the exact iteration.

My non-romantic OTP for this character

Give me all the brodinsons sibling bond content. Give me the precanon fluff. Give me the angsty fics of them resolving their canon issues (or not resolving them).

My unpopular opinion about this character

Thor is not stupid. I think Asgardian society doesn't value intelligence as much as being a Strong Warrior TM and so for that reason Thor often downplays his intelligence. However he is actually extremely clever and perfectly capable of being cunning and manipulative when he wants to be. I think out of universe this gets overlooked a lot and I think it also gets overlooked in-universe as well. I think Loki is one of the few people to notice and appreciate this side of Thor.

Also, Thor is not a sunshine golden retriever puppy. Thor can be very loving and devoted to people he cares about. He can also be terrifyingly violent. In the opening sequence of Thor 1 he is literally laughing while committing mass murder on Jotunheim and his life's ambition is to wipe out the Jotnar - aka commit genocide. (These attitudes are, of course, normalized and encouraged in his society). I think these traits make him a much more complex and interesting character and provide a lot of fodder for character arcs where he works on these flaws.

I also heartily disagree with the retcon in TR and the Loki show that prior to the events of Thor 1, Thor viewed Loki as untrustoworthy or as a threat. Thor clearly relies on and trusts Loki implicitly in the beginning of Thor 2011. That's why Loki is able to lie to him successfully. If he habitually did that then Thor wouldn't have trusted him (unless the implication is that Thor is incapable of forming short-term memories).

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon.

I wish instead of TR we got a movie that meaningfully resolved both their character arcs where they actually discussed their issues, Loki got to confront his self-hatred over his heritage and Thor came to terms with the flaws in Asgardian society and the harm his treatment of Loki did, even if it was unintentional at times, and where they both returned to Jotunheim and tried to make amends and establish a lasting peace. I think something where they both got to unite against the real threat - Odin - would also have been cool. Thor ultimately renouncing the throne and giving it to Loki could've been super neat. Especially as it would free up Thor to do Avenger stuff so it'd be convenient from a plot pov too.

[beheworthy]

do you ship thorki??????????

What the ??????????

When I said 'his love for Loki' in the prev ask, I OBVIOUSLY meant familial love that you have for your siblings. Love isn't just sexual and romantic, the heck!!!!!

Since y'all like to be purposely dense, no I don't ship it. I hate it with the intensity of a thousand suns. Even Chris and Tom do, because it ruined the BROTHERLY bond they had w each other.

[incorrect-wandanat]

Hi please don't see this as confrontational or offensive, I am just curious. I wanted to ask you How do you feel about your ship being controversial or questionable? Considering the large age gaps (perso I am weirded by large age gaps but if it is between 2consenting adults I might overlook it). People even consider Wanda a teenager (15-16) in AOU, you probably saw a lot of fanfics about Natasha adopting her, also it even gets more questionable if your Natasha's age is comics compliant.

People tend to overthrow reality's moral bonds because it's FICTIONAL CHARACTERS, I can excuse the grossest nastiest kinks & things look like because at least consent but seriously thorki, starker (Peter/Tony)🤮🤮🤮what the actual fuck?

What about you?do you keep your morals when it's about fictional characters?

i go with mcu ages. wandavision confirmed wanda to be born in 1989. black widow confirmed nat to be born in 1984. sooo no age gap really, five years is reasonable, especially since that puts wanda at 25. (don’t get me started on age gaps when the younger person is barely 18 years old at the start of the relationship.)

i would never ship two characters where one is a minor. personally, i don’t even support shipping two teens together (like peter and mj at their beginning of the mcu) cause i think it’s a slippery slope for a lot of people to end up writing smut for teenagers. that’s a hard no.

i don’t compromise my own morals to write. ever.

i also have never seen a fic/account that has the perspective of natasha adopting wanda, but maybe that was more of a thing in AoU era?

anyway, not offensive (little weird). but yeah. hope that clears things up.

[lemonhemlock]

"U like thorki" anon here! I wanted to ask what do you find compelling about these characters? Why do you ship them?

well, for one, i am a simple person who likes shakespeare, space, viking mythology and melodramatic/theatrical characters, so, if you mix all of these together, of course that thor has always been my favourite avenger & loki my favourite mcu character overall.

i also really like kingship narratives, so thor v loki to me was an exploration of different attitudes on ruling: the calm, collected & commanding soft-diplomacy mode of early!loki vs the reckless, buttheaded big-stick diplomacy of early!thor + the way in which they shift to autocratic, authoritarian loki & caring, wiser & more democratic thor (i am really talking here more about the movies thor, the avengers & the dark world really).

it’s interesting to see them contrast and complement each other & their co-dependency was always a compelling dynamic for me. they were always two sides of the same coin & always worked more productively and achieved better results if they teamed up. i also really like the acting choices - i think both chris hemsworth and tom hiddleston bring a bombastic dimension to their characters that's so satisfying in a dramatic-play-like setting and they both have great comedic timing, like, they're just delightful to watch playing off each other. seeing all this in a superhero movie was also pretty different and a breath of fresh air at the time

i like thorki both romantically and just as a brotherly relationship - imo they have a really complex and versatile bond that you could explore to great effect, from the wholesome side of the spectrum way into dark, twisted themes if it suited your fancy.

Reacting to Animated Marvel Shows 8/?

All right, back to the anime Avengers. All you need to know is: pretty Loki (of course the most important part), weird noses, Avengers meets Sora & co., way too fast redemption arc, and another possible incestuous ship for me whoops. Spoilers for Future Avengers 1x20 (and probably 1x19).

Bruno looks a little early Avengers (2012) Loki and I don’t know anything about his usual character design, but between his eyes and the war paint (I think) on his face, he looks a little mind-controlled. [I knew nothing that happened before ep 19 at this point, and even that I didn’t really retain, but damn I was really close to what’s happening here.]

“Wing daggers”??

Hulk speaks in complete sentences in Japan, apparently 

Ugh Amora, fuck off

Amora who are you calling “young sorcerer”? I know you’re older, but you’re roughly the same age 

Cap just said “Avengers, stay frosty.” What the hell does that mean?!

Ironman just jumped in front of Loki (and Wasp, but mostly Loki) and my frostiron heart has reawakened. Cap, is this what you meant? Frosty, like frostiron?

I mean, it did nothing, all three of them got thrown into the wall, but it was cute

Hey, Loki, remember how you have magic? Why are you letting the mortal with science superpowers protect you from overpowered Amora???

I don’t understand what Makoto’s superpowers are

This b-plot is still hella gay

“Being a hero without you is meaningless to me.” What the fuck, friends to enemies to lovers, excruciating slow burn 100k words

I will not go to AO3 after this episode, I’m stronger than that

Thor why do you have to yell “Mjolnir throw” like it’s a Pokémon that needs you to tell it what to do? Also how did you miss?!

Why do they all have to name their powers to activate them, first of all? Second of all, isn’t Loki canonically immune to this? I know this came out before Loki, but still.

Ooh this is a good idea for a scene. I hope they do it well. 

Lol they recreated the live action Avengers shot and just shoehorned Wasp in there.

I hate how the only part of their face animated to move is their mouth. Like Loki begging Thor not to listen to Evil Guy No.1 would be so much more moving (literally) if the rest of his face was allowed to be expressive. Like even if they did the anime pupil vibration it would add so much more emotion.

Loki kiss him to break the mind control (sorry, I’ll try to remember to tag this as thorki, I couldn’t help myself)

Thor please do the whole giving the villain a false sense of security in thinking he’s won by raising your hammer against your brother but at the last second slamming it against Evil Guy’s skull (I’ve already forgotten his name). You’re smart enough for this to be feasible, I believe in you.

I do also like the breaking the mind control through the power of (brotherly) love, too, though

But letting Loki genuinely show remorse and apologize when really you’re not influenced by Evil Guy (because your love for your brother is already too strong, okay I’ll stop) before you smash Evil Guy’s head in is cool too. Loki probably needs to do this for character growth purposes anyway. 

Loki’s crying and I’m screaming, this is cute I can’t stand it 

Holding hands! Okay I’m also crying now this is so sweet 

Oh shit is she dead! Fuck I hope so. Go straight to hel, Amora

So does Bruno take on the Emerald Crystal to try to be more powerful than Makoto and then Makoto has to save him through the power of love?

Oh wait he’s already got the emerald!

Makoto fuck off with this no homo bullshit

Makoto kiss him to get the Emerald shit off him

Why are the OCs the only ones with normal fucking noses?! (Yeah, I’m on that shit still)

Gay love can pierce through the veil of emerald crystal and save the day 

Makoto is so in denial about being in love with his bff lol 

Makoto, it was the YAOI

“Brotherly bond” shut up, Thor, it was also the YAOI on your end

Dammit, Amora’s still alive

Evil Guy’s alias is just Leader? Weak.

Oh shit Evil Guy had a gun this whole time?! I swear to god if this kills either one of them I’m gonna be so annoyed. They’re Asgardian.

Also, I paused it just as he shot, but I’m calling it now, he aimed for Thor, but Loki jumped in front, even though they’re both immune to bullets (I think)

If Loki dies I’m suing 

I fucking told you! Self-sacrificial piece of shit. If that armor isn’t bulletproof what’s it fucking good for?

Hey maybe subdue Evil Guy first before Loki fakes his death? He can hold it, it’s fine. But one, the dude might have another bullet in that gun, and two, he’s gonna make a run for it, both of which would render Loki’s bullshit sacrifice meaningless 

Loki you piece of lying shit

All the same, I can’t tell if I’m crying from laughter or just crying 

Marvel: So we can give you an evil Loki who lives or a redeemed Loki who (pretends to) bite it. That’s all we got.

Evil Guy why are you still here? Thor’s about to murder you three times over. You’ll be nothing but a spatter of blood on cement when he’s done with you, dumbass. You fucking shot Loki, then stuck around long enough to call him weak TO THOR’S TEAR-STAINED FACE?! Buddy you’re stupider than your choice of alias would imply.

YES! YES I FUCKING CALLED IT MY BOI LIVES

Oh motherfucker did you turn on your brother, you’re awfully close to Evil Guy for my liking 

I’m more mad right now that Loki’s surprised (again) by how Thor reacts to his death than I will be if it turns out he’s a dirty lying traitor again 

MOTHER OF FUCK, YOU PIECE OF SHIT

Again, Loki can live and be a villain or be a hero and die (fuck and doesn’t that sound familiar?)

Damn, there goes the kink cuffs 

Fuck am I invested in this? Oh no

The end credits song is so stupid lol

End announcer guy: Come on, Loki, how could you betray the Avengers like that?

You must be new here, fam.

End announcer guy: Who is orchestrating the forces of evil?

Me: Dr. Doom.

Show: *Kang appears out of the fog, the size of a skyscraper*

Me: NO!!!

Me @ me: Bruno and Makoto are not getting together. This is a Disney kids show from 2017, it’s not gonna be gay.

Me: *proceeds to watch the next episode anyway*

Loki: *betrays Thor, like he famously repeatedly does*

Thor: *surprised Pikachu face*

Me: *surprised Pikachu face*

Yeah, I’m disappointed in me, too.

Maps to Other Worlds

Thor is looking for a ghost story he's been chasing across the realms and galaxies. Tales of her follow disasters and the ends of worlds, anywhere there were mass casualties. She's a mystery called the Enchantress to most, but Thor just knows her as Loki, the little sister who was taken from him as a child. Someone else will find Thor first, and nothing will ever be the same.

I would actually argue that TUA Luther/Allison isn't, because they were in no way, shape, or form, raised to be siblings, they were raised to be soldiers, and their feelings for each other developed prior to any kind of familial bond cementing (they didn't even have names until Grace's AI evolved to the point where she considered herself their mother, years after her creation--which is why Five was never named, because he got timestuck before she named them).

Ultimately, similarly to Catra and Adora in fact, the Hargreeves are a bunch of orphans raised in the same abusive group home with no other recourse but to trauma-bond with one another and nothing to cling to but the illusion of a familial bond provided when their robot nanny developed sentience. The only reason they're siblings-on-paper is because they all took their abusive caretaker's last name, but he was no more their father than Shadow Weaver was Catra and Adora's mother.

Their relationship is 'weird' because they eventually claimed the sibling 'label' for themselves, despite all their relationships being a lot more complicated than any nuclear family could be, and there's a reason why for all their meta commentary, no one actually thinks it's all that weird that Luther and Allison are in love (and them being 'siblings' is like the least of the problems in their relationship).

Having said that, I agree that Thorki is (raised as brothers and believing themselves to be until Loki discovered his true parentage) and Charles/Raven is not, though they'd definitely have conflicting feelings about it. And yeah, adoption is one of those 'it's complicated and depends on the exact nature of the adoption/ensuing relationship' things so you can't make a blanket statement about it. (However I will generally say in 99% of cases I don't consider stepsiblings/in laws to be incest in any meaningful sense.)

Ooh, are we doing "Is adoptive incest incest?" discourse now? I'll start: MCU Thor/Loki is; TUA Luther/Allison is; XMCU Charles/Raven might not be, but even they don't seem sure; and SPOP Catra/Adora isn't, but I'm honestly surprised the possibility doesn't get raised more often.

...

But seriously, adoption can describe so many different situations that there's no hard and fast rule about it. "It always is" and "It always isn't" are both false statements. So no, we can't and never will just all agree ;)

grandthorki thorki AU where the grandmaster thinks he's doing something truly evil by forcing thor and loki to have sex with each other while they're stuck pretending they don't do this every other day

[kisses-4-loki]

I'm like 5 minutes away from a "Thor and Loki both fell into the void and got found by thanos" one-shot

like earth would have been FUUUCKED

Loki is sitting on thr helicarrier, hears lightning and acts all shocked, and then he and thor beat the crap out of cap and Tony and bolt

BAMF brothers!!!
