Summary
Sequel to How Desperate Are You?
Returning to Midgard after an absence of almost two years, Loki finds that as desperate for change as he has been, some changes will take time to get used to, especially when they concern his relationship with Tony and Pepper. Darcy lays down her taser, momentarily and decides to start wielding the internet to the dismay of both the fallen Prince of Asgard and S.H.I.E.L.D.
Outing the trickster god to the general public is going to be difficult for Loki, but equally difficult will be Tony's acceptance that things between the three will change, and not always the way he wants them to.
COMPLETE
Loki, Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Avengers Team, Phil Coulson, Darcy Lewis, Nick Fury, Natasha Romanoff.

Summary
Within the shadows of long ago forgotten memories, remains the painful witness of a broken heart.
Or
Loki runs away with his baby from his father, who uses him as a surrogate mother for his own business.
He searches for a new beginning and he may have encountered it with his savior and his friends but life is always threatening him in the worst ways.
He never expected to be encoutered by enough dauntlessness to run away from the claws of his misfortune and find people who would leave anything behind in order to keep him safe and sound. Though, even when he starts to learn sharing is caring, one unwanted borrower will take him back to where he started.A Steve/Bucky fic with Loki on it. Lots of angst. There will be torture and violence later. You've been warned.

If Thor Didn't Have Plot Shield by Kadorienne

Summary
Thor: The Dark World is full of holes in the script through which a fleet of helicarriers could pass with ease. If the portal through which Loki brought the Chitauri into New York had been as big as these plot holes, he'd be ruler of Earth right now. Characters behave in a completely illogical fashion because the plot requires it. It's like the scriptwriters had heard of people, but never actually seen one.
This is a series of unconnected, sometimes cracky ficlets pointing out the holes.
I really, really hated Thor: The Dark World. Because of that movie, I grew to really, really hate Thor, who before I had loved a lot.
If you don't want to see TDW or Thor being ripped mercilessly to shreds, don't read this.
This is just me letting off some steam. I'll be adding to these whenever I feel the need to vent about everything wrong with this movie. Brilliantly acted, beautiful to look at, morally appalling, and with the stupidest screenplay imaginable.
Also, thank you to Pluma for suggesting the title.

So That's What It Does by Nyx_Ro

Summary
What if during 'The Avengers' Phil Coulson had picked up a different weapon before going to confront Loki-- and thereby totally changed the course of the rest of the movie?
NOTE: Contains references to past torture, rape of a minor, and abusive parenting. Also involves de-aging-- sorta. Unbeta'd, posted as an experiment. Constructive criticism welcomed.
Also, I am going with the MCU-canon suggested age ratio of 50 Aesir years to 1 human year, because it's simple and it makes sense. Though I am adding the proviso that Aesir babies develop at the same rate as humans for the first four years before slowing down.

Summary
“Well, you know, performance issues,” Tony says. Loki’s eyes flick up to his, a spark of anger starting there that hints at gory revenge, and then his eyes go wide with something that doesn’t look like anger, and Tony has no time either to figure out what that means or brace himself before Loki lunges for him. Which is when things stop being garden-variety weird and take a hard left into straight-up bat-country surreal.
Or: the scene between Tony and Loki on Stark Tower takes a different turn. (Not a shippy one. Sorry, FrostIron people.)

Summary
Gamora is there when Loki falls into Thanos’ hands, and she’s there to watch Loki break under torture. She’s not going to defy her father (yet), but in the beginning, she gives Loki a little advice: find a core truth about yourself and bury it deep, and once Thanos has broken and remade you into what he wants, something of you might still be left.

They were supposed to save the world.
No one realized the deadly cocktail of bitterness, anger, resentment, and vengeance that was created when this team came together: the anachronistic war hero, the master assassin, the Winter Soldier, the fallen prince, the neglected schemer, the cast-aside scientist, the experiment gone very wrong, the archer, and the genius billionaire. They were supposed to be the heroes of Earth, its last and best defense.
They were not supposed to become its conquerors.

Summary
It might have been just another long, boring night. Nod along to this man, plaster a smile here, fake a laugh there; the usual schmoozing that a high profile figure like himself would be familiar with.
Not that any of these muggles actually knew who he was.
Harry knew how to walk the walk and talk the talk. He just needed to go unnoticed long enough for the arrival of—
Him, actually.
The father of one of Death’s Lieutenants. That made it personal.

Summary
Loki spoke. “I do not know what magic this may be. I cannot with all my art pierce the illusion that has been cast. I do not understand how this world seems to have slipped its allotted sphere. But I can tell you this: there is no version of any reality where you cannot trust Thor.”
Fury seemed to take this in stride. “Hill, you told me there was a video. Why don’t you show it to us all?”
Maria bit her lip, took a deep breathe, and then said, “All right, Thor can stay, but I’d first like him to swear to us that he will not tell Odin or Asgard about anything he sees here...."
Takes place after Thor the Dark World but before Age of Ultron. Completely MCU-canon compliant through Age of Ultron (except that in this tale the mortals find out who's after the Infinity Gems). Really.

Summary
Based (somewhat loosely) on a prompt at Norsekink.
The Chitauri twisted Loki's magic and forced him to become pregnant, but the fetus was killed during the New York battle. As Loki's plans are dashed one after the other, he keeps struggling to come up with a way to escape what's coming.
Or: gratuitous Loki whump.
