That one act likely saved his life, and not always in the most obvious ways.

Summary
It wasn’t easy to live with memories from his past life while trying to survive all the hormone rushes of his new body’s adolescence. Even more so with love of his life, or both of his lives in this case, constantly around and in his space, letting his hopes so high that every return to the reality of friendship felt like a fall from a skyscraper.

Summary
The marriage between Loki Laufeyson and Anthony Stark, two gentlemen as eccentric as they are wealthy, was once the talk of both Asgard and Jotunheim. But ever since a disastrous visit to Muspelheim, Tony hasn't been the same, so Loki finally takes his daughter and runs to Midgard, hoping to spur Tony into action. Natasha Banner fled her traitorous husband-to-be before she could take the Romanoff name, but false accusations brought her to settle in Midgard under an assumed identity. Thor Odinson has lived in Midgard almost all his life, and recently inherited his father's mill, but his principles are getting in the way of his business sense and it is very nearly bankrupt.
If this wasn't a Victorian romance, this could probably only end in disaster - but as it is, a multitude of other characters and SHIELD Legal Services combine to result in a universally happy ending!

Summary
If there ever was a man who could hold her interest, she thinks, it would be him.
From the original sources we know exactly 5 things about Sigyn:
She is a goddess
She is Loki's wife
She gives birth to two sons, one of whom is later turned into a wolf and kills his brother
Her kenning is incantation-fetter
Loki is described as the burden of Sigyn's armsShe is often regarded as the paragon of loyal, nurturing femininity but I can't help but feel that any woman who can love Loki must have more to her than that. This is my attempt at giving Sigyn some backstory and agency.

Summary
What if the nations' memories are literally the national memory, as taught in schools and discussed on talk shows? And changing the way people think about their history changes the nation's own memories?
In this, Alfred and Matthew talk about the Tories/(United Empire) Loyalists, who opposed the American Revolution - many of whom became refugees when the war ended, and were granted land in other British colonies of the time in thanks for their loyalty.

Summary
When Dr. John Watson returns to London from service in India, he visits his old friend Lestrade, who is very much in need of his medical opinion. But on his way from the train station he runs into a mysterious man offering him a job, and all too quickly he finds himself pulled into an adventure he never expected, nor even believed was possible.
--
“Doctor Watson, I told you I would find you.” He stepped further into the room, greeting Lestrade as well before adding, “And it appears that you have wandered into the middle of my case.”
“It would appear that way, yes,” Watson said, feeling suddenly hot under his collar as he tugged at his tie. “Or rather,” he continued, his voice hoarse as though choked, “Your case is also my case.”
