WIP WEDNESDAY

So, this is part of some flashbacks of the new chapter 10 of tbbw, first draft but still...I may have dumped the angst glitter on the Mikaelsons. Particularly Elijah. Oops.

[shrugs in a what-can-you-do gesture]

However, the reason this flashback has been added in the edits is because it also helps set up next plot arc I'm going to be writing from chapter 36 onwards. So like, take from that what you will - you guys know I love a good teaser.

Pisa, Marquisate of Tuscany, Italia. Le Estate, 1114 A.D.

“KOL!” Elijah yelled, struggling to rip the sharp, broken chair leg from his brother’s grip, yanking it away only to face another battle - stopping Klaus from grabbing anything else. “HELP ME HOLD HIM!”

“Elijah, please, don’t let them do this to me-” Klaus begged, eyes wild and unseeing, lost to yet another hallucination.

“KOL!” Elijah screamed again, just as their brother appeared around the corner, cursing upon seeing the scene, Klaus’ chambers in disarray, tables and chairs toppled where he had tried to fashion the wood into stakes. Elijah wrapped his arms firmly around Klauss chest, holding him back and leaning forward to hiss in his ear. “Niklaus, we’re only trying to help, you are hurting yourself-”

Kol rushed to Elijah’s side, leaping over the toppled chairs to grab Klaus as he thrashed in Elijah’s arms.

“Please, I can’t! Don’t let her take him from me-”

Kol glanced between his brother and Elijah, grimacing as Klaus tried to slip out of his grip, nearly succeeding - he had always been stronger than his siblings. “What is he talking about?”

Elijah shook his head. “I don’t know, he’s not lucid-” He swallowed, trying to catch Klaus’ eye. “Brother, please, we don’t mean to harm you-”

“NO!” Klaus roared, lashing out and throwing his elbow back, right into Kol’s face, smashing his brother’s nose on impact. In the next moment, he’d pushed Kol with so much force his brother was thrown across the room, slamming into shelves and cracking the wall. Kol fell to the floor, blood dripping from his brow. Eyes wide, Elijah’s grip slipped and his brother nearly managed to flash away but he caught his jacket at the last second, snagging the fabric and hauling Klaus by the neck into the wall behind them.

“NIKLAUS!” he bellowed, pinning him across the stone and shaking him for good measure. “That is enough,” he snarled.

Klaus shrank away, terrified, frantically shaking his head, so terribly unlike him that it made Elijah pause. For the first time, he noticed the tear tracks on his brother’s cheeks.

“I can’t lose him, please, don’t let her take the wolf away-” he begged, but he wasn’t looking at Elijah, but to the side, talking to whatever hallucination standing there. “Please, ‘lijah, don’t let them do this to me-”

Elijah’s grip slackened, his anger exhaling from his body in a single flood of horror. He remembered the night Klaus was currently reliving, remembered the heat of mother’s fires, the roar of Mikael’s orders. His hands pinning Klaus down, enclosing his wrists in tight shackles, and eventually, Elijah doing the same.

Now, Elijah looked down at his hands, clenched around his brother’s shoulders, holding him down and suddenly felt sick, releasing his brother as if burned.

“Brother, I-”

Klaus didn’t give him the chance to work through the ball of emotion in his throat, releasing a yell of fury, grabbing Elijah and flashing them both across the room, slamming him into the opposite wall. Elijah gasped, looking down where Klaus’ hand had impaled his chest, fingers grasped around his heart.

“You took everything from me,” his brother snarled, eyes bleeding red, seeing not his brother, but another enemy entirely. Even so, it felt like he was saying the words to Elijah all the same. His grip tightened, fingers squeezing around Elijah’s heart and in that moment, he didn’t doubt Klaus would tear it from his chest.

Suddenly, hands grasped the side of Klaus’ head and his neck snapped to the side, body falling to the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut. Kol stood behind him, his chest heaving with adrenaline, nose bloody as he stared down at her brother’s unconscious body in shock and horror. Elijah slumped against the wall, a hand over his chest where the wound was already beginning to heal, sliding to the floor.

Neither of them moved for a long while. ______________________________________________________________

Elijah bolted the door to the cell shut, glancing through the barred window of the door to Klaus inside, their brother laid out on the cold, straw-lined floor where they had left him. There was no furniture for him to break and use as stakes, no windows and curtains to open and let in sunlight, the daylight ring on his brother’s finger noticeably absent. Elijah didn’t know where he had discarded it this time. He’d have to search through the wreckage in the room to find it.

“Make sure the door remains locked,” he said to Kol, turning to leave the dungeon, a numbness settling into his bones that felt suffocating. “When he wakes, he may try to escape.”

“If that’s what you think is best,” Kol said as he passed him, lips curled in a bitter snarl.

Elijah stopped in the middle of the cells, his entire body freezing as Kol’s words cut into his skin. He hadn’t known how much Kol had overheard upstairs - they had carried Klaus down here in silence, neither of them knowing how to break it. But now, now he knew.

Skin itching with Kol’s judgement, slowly he turned around, teeth gritted as he looked at his brother, daring him with his glare to speak up. “Do you have something to say to me, Kol?”

Kol looked away from him, fists clenched as he stared instead at the wooden cell door currently locking their brother away.

“Do you know why Finn had to snap my neck to stop me from going after you and Nik that night?” he asked eventually, taking Elijah off-guard. When his gaze met his brother’s, there was agony there that was not unlike Klaus’ own. “Because I understood even then what you were going to help them take from him. Maybe not fully, but I understood enough.”

Elijah swallowed around the ball in his throat, trying not to remember Kol’s wails of grief the night they were turned, and later, Klaus�� screams as his wolf was ripped away. “Losing your magic was not same as what happened to Niklaus-”

“How would you know, Elijah? You were never a witch. And last time I checked,” Kol spat in his face, shoving past him, “You were never one of the wolf-folk either.”

On his way out, Kol slammed the door to the dungeons behind him. Elijah couldn’t stop his flinch.

Uh oh, putting a writing WIP up on the Internet? Lmao I'm not very confident in my writing but here's what I've got of Kotone's (and Saburo's) intro. Not the beginning of the story, but very early on.

A little context:

Shu has already run into a fucked up Youja soldier and a classmate of his, a girl named Umeko, may have witnessed some cool supernatural shenanigans. Then Kotone and friends crashed the group meetup.

The giant red gate appeared in the middle of the street, towering over even buildings in a familiar, if unwelcome sight. It swung open with a terrible groan, releasing slowly drifting fog to tumble silently across the cityscape.

"Awfully quiet." Shin said softly. "There's usually all that wind and noise…"

"No spirits, no soldiers, no ac-!" Shu started to shout, but Seiji hushed him.

Through the clearing fog, the silhouette of a person could be seen.

It was a girl, but it definitely wasn't Kayura.

Her clothes were tattered, her white hair thick and wild, the armor she wore was worn and old fashioned. There was a beastly mask covering her face, a snarling thing with huge, curved fangs jutting from the mouth. As she stood there silently, staring them down, they could hear metallic shuffling and dragging.

"Who are you?! Are you Youja?!" Ryo shouted at her, but she continued to only stare forward at them, unmoved.

The metallic sounds grew louder and louder until they could see the shapes of more and more of the warped Youja soldiers staggering up behind her.

Touma drew back an arrow."Last chance. Who. Are. You."

The shuffling abominations halted behind her. There was a tense pause before she extended her arm, pointing toward them. Immediately, everything erupted into chaos. The Youja twisted into animal-like shapes and lept forward with uncharacteristic speed, growling and roaring and gnashing. Crawling over each other and falling in waves of twisted, metal nightmare. One had been bad enough but now there were dozens rushing them like a stampede. Still, the girl stood watching them silently as the horde parted around her.

Shu ran up to Umeko and pushed her into Naste. "RUN!!"

"Byakuen! You know what to do!" Ryo called out to the tiger and Byakuen rushed over to Naste.

"We have to go, Umeko!"

"Go?! Go where? What is going on?!"

"Don't worry! It'll be okay!" Jun hopped on to the tiger's back, followed by Naste, who reached out a hand to Umeko.

"You can't stay here."

Reluctantly, Umeko got onto Byakuen's back and the tiger took off at a full run, leaving the boys to contend with the wave of chaos that erupted from the gate. Some of the metal abominations clashed with them and others poured out into the city. At last as the fighting erupted, the girl stepped forward wordlessly, breaking into a run as she crossed the threshold. Seiji cut through one of the twisted creatures just in time to be set upon by the girl who leapt at him, curved sword in hand. He scarcely had time to guard, but it was still enough for him to raise his sword to block her plunging strike.

"Seiji!" Touma shouted for him as he drew back an arrow, but a Youja lunged at him, interrupting his shot. "Dammit!"

Seiji managed to push her away, practically throwing her through the air away from him. She fell slowly, landing lightly on her feet as the monsters cleared away from her.

"What have you done?!" Seiji cried but still the girl didn't speak. Instead she charged him again with a flurry of wild swings, snarling like an animal.

"I'll take a vantage point!" Touma called to his friends as he jumped up to a rooftop. As soon as he was up there he took a quick glance around to see how bad things had gotten and down one of the streets he could see Byakuen and ones he'd carried off stopped by a big, long, tan colored animal. He alerted the others as he took aim at one of the Youja beasts."Byakuen has run into some trouble!"

—

"What is this?!" Umeko cried. "Is this a movie set? Did I stumble on to a movie set?! Am I dreaming?!"

She clung to the tiger's fur, struggling a bit to keep hold. It didn't really seem like he was used to carrying 3 people, even if one of them was just a kid.

"I'm afraid it isn't. It's very real." Naste answered. "Three years ago there was a major incident that occurred in Shinjuku. People thought it was a black out caused by an earthquake. It wasn't."

"Are you serious?!" Umeko asked. "What was it then?!"

"Well…" Naste sighed. "There was a prophecy…"

"A prophecy???"

"Yeah! The guys are really strong! They fought all kinds of bad guys and saved everybody!" Jun shouted excitedly.

"What the hell have I gotten myself into?! You're all crazy-!" Umeko started to say, but she was cut off as she felt something sharp and unseen graze her cheek.

Byakuen suddenly came to a stop and started growling.

"What's wrong Byakuen?!" Jun asked but the tiger continued growling, carefully shuffling backward.

A strange, long creature resembling a weasel emerged from a dark alley. It was huge, bigger than even the tiger, and slowly moving toward them making a strange, low screeching sound.

"Interesting, interesting!" A man's voice spoke, almost seeming to come from the creature. "A traitor and a couple of human stragglers, eh? Scouting can wait, I want to sharpen my claws!"

"Who are you?! What are you?!" Naste cried.

"Ain't it obvious, woman?" The weasel lifted it's head and almost seemed to laugh. "I'm a weasel! A little beast you humans like to call kamaitachi! Quick as the wind and sharp as a sword!"

"Kamaitachi?!" Jun shouted."Like the yokai?"

"Yeah, kid!" The weasel laughed. "A yokai! A scary ol' monster! Except I'm here to do a lot worse than just give you a little scratch!"

Naste grabbed onto Umeko, and she and Jun jumped off Byakuen. The tiger leapt at the kamaitachi with a great deal of strength, swiping at him with claws extended. The giant weasel jumped back and knocked the cat away with a heavy swing of his tail. He reared up, teeth bared and his claws growing strangely long.

"I'll tear you all apart!!"

He jumped at them with a screech but was struck across the snout by Shu's staff.

"What the hell is going on here?! What are you supposed to be?!"

Ryo ran up next to Byakuen, placing a gentle hand on the tiger's back. "Are you okay, Byakuen…?"

The tiger shook his head and chuffed softly.

The weasel snorted and bared his teeth."Who are you calling an overgrown worm, you outrageous house cat?!"

Byakuen roared back, stepping forward in front of Ryo as if to protect him.

—

Shin had tried to grab hold of the girl with his spear but she slipped out of its grasp with an effortless jump, landing on the back of one of the monstrous things.

For whatever reason, she avoided him- only dodging his attacks- but charged at Seiji with a surprising amount of speed and strength. It was as if she were after him specifically.

"Seiji, I get the impression she doesn't like you in particular!"

Seiji sighed as he cut through a smaller Youja beast, the girl beginning to circle him from several yards away. "I've noticed that too. It's as if she isn't interested in fighting you." She paced around him, furious eyes gazing at him from the eye holes in the mask.

"I'm not sure if I feel insulted or flattered."

She charged at Seiji again but was stopped by several of Touma's arrows cutting off her path in a line. Growling in frustration she changed direction and circled around a large beast and rushed by under its chin, toward Seiji again. Keeping low this time, she swung upward and he deflected but it put him off balance. He stepped back to regain his footing and she pushed forward, turning her wrist to swing downward at him in close quarters. He had to lean backwards awkwardly to avoid her swing, the sharp edge of her sword grazed across his armor with a spray of sparks.

"Seiji! Back up!" Shin cried, pointing his spear at the girl. Seiji staggered back as quickly as he could before a column of water rushed by, crushing Youja in its path and slamming into the girl and forcing her away.

She stood back up, drenched head to toe, coughing and staggering and struggling to stay back on her feet. The Youja beasts swarmed between her and them, growling and swinging weapons with extra, misplaced arms. One lunged at Shin, biting onto one of his arms and grabbing his spear with a free, unwarped hand. Several of Touma's arrows struck the thing and it collapsed into a heap of metal and a plume of fetid smoke.

A sigh of relief escaped Shin. "These things are so…vicious? They don't fight like people anymore. Something is very wrong here."

Seiji shifted back into a defensive stance and watched the girl wearily. She put her hand against her mask and shook the water from her hair.

"Well…" She spoke at last, still sputtering. "I admit that was unexpected. But I'm not interested in fighting you, yet."

"So you can understand us!" Seiji shouted back at her. "Not very interested in talking though, are you?"

The girl shrugged. "Not here to talk."

I was not expecting EY epilogue to be so short or come out so quickly and neither was I prepared for it. Tbh you should rename it to "How to fuck up an audience in 600 words or less" because HOLY SHIT. I knew it wasn't going to be pretty™ but did you really have to go this hard??? The 2 being all cutesy romantic on a cruise with a burning harbour literally in front of them???? THAT RAM SET ON FIRE????? The tea vendor?????? READER FEELING GUILTY AND RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DESTRUCTION????????

And then you have the nerve to answer that other anon's ask about Ram saying I love you with "haha no he loves you but he has too many issues to admit it out loud" ONLY to then turn out the next day and use it HERE of all places is. God. You bastard-

Oh shit uh.... I kind of realized I don't really have anything laying around in the horny Ram art department (that isn't a total disaster or way, WAYYYY too self-indulgent) sooo.... may I offer you a WIP in these trying times??? Entirely SFW but I feel like it's plenty horny still, just in a different way ;) (Link in another ask again. Btw, you can post the WIP publicly if you feel like the Ramattra nation should see it. I still have no goddamn idea if I should try to revive my abandoned art blog or start a new one or if I should even commit to posting semi-regularly in the first place why are my feelings so fucking complicated on something so basic-)

OH I FEEL YA MAN, same story here, don't care about the game I care about the universe, except I left the franchise entirely ages ago only for Blizz to be like "hey you liked Zen right? Here's his hot angsty younger brother" and I'm like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffffuck you Blizzard, and fuck me for falling for that eye and brain candy...

Heard about that "sometime in 2024" release date, THAT AIN'T IT MATEY, could be in December for all we know, I NEED it sooner- But hey, I guess Blizz's laziness means the fans can go wild???

And oooooh you say shit like this keeps you active? Guess I gotta bother you some more then :P Also NEEEEEY you an SSS+ tier writer the heckle you talking about-

HAHAH YEAH FKDJSG So my original draft of it was actually even darker, with more of Reader "waking up" on being released from their room, then spiraling and feeling guilty and only being maintained by the feeling that they have to keep Ramattra in check. So, I think this one's a bit kinder in that Reader's still feeling guilty, but it's easier for them to push away the darkness.

fjdhsgks listen! Again! My original epilogue was darker (I think I didn't have him use it, but I also don't think Reader prompted him to say it?) And to be fair it's more that he has too many issues in that moment at the end of Ch5... and he's kind of settling into accept that you do love him and want ("want") to be there with him by the epilogue... so he can choke it out sometimes.

PLEAES STTART AN ART BLOG???? HES SO FUCKING GORGEOUS???

Like, yeah idk, it certainly is... difficult to know how to engage with fandom. More than a few times I've wondered if just being in a small, dedicated discord would be a better choice (but then I'm awful at engaging with people directly, so I tend to lurk in discord servers...)

Hah, see, I completely missed Ramattra's release. I played a little bit at OW2's release, so a bit into season 1, then I just stopped playing. I don't think it was intentional quitting. But I somehow completely missed Ramattra's entire existence until I randomly started playing Overwatch again in March/April (I don't even remember why? I think the Minecraft server I was playing revealed itself to be run by morons and I was looking for a game to spend most of my time and just ended up back with Overwatch).

Only to, bam, load into a game with someone playing him and for me to immediately go "oh my god" (and also he gave me headpats and i...... I wonder if that person has any clue what they've done. but then I think most Ram players who give headpats are also Ram Enjoyers.)

LISTEN.... I DONT EVEN BELIEVE ITLL BE 2024 BC BLIZZARD BUT I HAVE TO PRETEND......

gjkhgsd You know that um. that chart that depicts "art quality vs perceived art quality over time"? to show how artists' perception of their work changes as they develop it? I feel like I'm permanently stuck in a "I'm sure my work is fine given the time I've spent working on it as a craft, but it still doesn't look/behave in the way I want it to." groove for like. at least a year.

The last time I genuinely 100% liked something I wrote was uhhhh probably in Februaryish with an unpublished DBD!Wesker/Reader WIP. (The WIP title is Boon: Wesker's Worms LOL)

Receiving the AO3 notification about your new fic made me so happy! I love your writing, and I'm already on board this new fic. Despite being a newcomer to the COD fandom, I know it's going to be great!

Just out of curiosity and no rush, but I was wondering if you plan to finish your other wips now too?

Oh my goodness Nony, first of all thank you so much!! When I got back on here after being gone for like 3 years I sort of figured I would be starting from scratch in a new fandom. (And was totally ok with that!!)

But there are so many people I recognize from my TOG days who seem to not only remember me, but still want to read my stuff, even if it's in a different fandom??? Wild. Y'all are amazing!

Ok and to your question, short answer: Yes!!!

Long answer: Yes and then some!

I have 2 WIPs from The Old Guard that need finishing. Both of them are plotted and I even have a few chapters already completed for both. So yes, As You Wish AND Indian Joe and the Sword of the First Crusader are both going to be finished. I've set myself the goal of getting them done by the time the sequel comes out.... More reason for them to get us that release date sooner 😜😜

In addition to that I have three series that I had more parts planned for. And I plan on getting those out as well.

Never fear. I may take awhile sometimes, but I never abandon a fic forever. (I have a spn fic I wrote over a decade ago on another account that I didn't finish until last year... It may take me awhile sometimes but I always come through!)

Thank you so much for your ask, and for caring about my writing years later and in a different fandom, it means so so much!!!

#oh my gosh that was practically a novel in itself #nony #ask #lolo rambles #lolo writes #one of the “planned parts of a series” that i need to get to is part 3 and 4 of the Share Your Address Series...#if anyone still cares about that lol #also keep in mind that this 3 year gap is mostly because i was pregnant and had a newborn and then a toddler.... which is A LOT #shes 2 and a half now and slowly getting more manageable lol #so that is a big reason i have the energy to get back into this #no plans on having another kid anytime soon so i dont forsee any large blackouts like that in the future 😜

tumblr 2021 year end review o(*￣︶￣*)o

tagged by: @taegularities, @amourtae and @agustdakasuga, thank you lovelies!

rules : post the top 5 works you're most proud of that you released this year (not necessarily your most popular), your top 4 current WIPs that you're excited to release in the new year, your top 3 biggest improvements in your writing over the past year, your top 2 resolutions (ways you wish to improve your writing/blog) for the new year, and your number 1 favorite line you've written this year!

lessgeddiiittt <3

1. top 5 works i'm most proud of that i released lastyear:

Keynote - I LOVE the way this fic turned out. It burned me out mid-last year and I'm so happy I pulled my pants up and finished it. It was a WIP that I wanted to finish for so long, I wanted it to be nasty extraordinaire, and I feel like I achieved that so yay!

Opaline Moon - I'm always in love with this. Because a. Jin. And b. it was my first try at a real story I think, and I was pushed out of my comfort zone with incorporating some angst. This is the only fic I love rereading from time to time.

A Date With Destiny - MY FIRST BABY!!! I go back to it sometimes and want to rewrite so many things, but I am always just so happy that I opened Docs and went with this wild dream.

Unicorn Ride - I probably wrote this in a horny daze, in two nights. It feels like a shitpost and I'm so proud of it T_T

“Kittens, They Love To Enslave Us” - It's a milestone drabble that I wrote and I found it to be very difficult, but it was just so fluffy and cute 😭I was veryyyy happy with the way it turned out.

2. top 4 WIPs that i'm excited to release this new year:

Ornaments Of Adour - Coming in a few days! I wanted to badly fill the Namjoon gap in my mlist, and I think I'm done with 60% of it! Very excited <3

Stigma - OH LAWD I WAS SUPPOSED TO FINISH THIS IN OCTOBER MAN I KNOW BOO ME OFF THIS PLATFORM T_T I swear I will be done in Feb/March, all the plotting is through I just need to seat my ass and WRITE.

Strip Lawyer - This is another horny dream with Lawyer!JK. I'm not gonna say much but 😩😤🤯

Dress Down - Just more installments of this series!

3. top 3 biggest improvements in my writing over the past year:

Descriptions have gotten better - I think my smut quality has improved in general.

Better stories? I thought I would write myself a whore nest but somehow, I add SOME SEMBLANCE of a story here and there. ANd HEY, big ups to all sexy writers who write filth pwp - immense respect for you. I just didn't think I would do it LOL

This is not a writing thing, but I think I've gotten better at betaing and understanding someone else's writing style and adjusting my comments accordingly <3

4. top 2 resolutions (wishes to improve writing/blog) for the new year:

Want to write more angst. More feelings. Just more tears. I don't like reading angst but I badly want to write it.

Want to try to not abandon my writing for days just because I wasn't happy with one paragraph. Learn to leave some of the work to editing Siya.

5. number 1 favourite line i've written this year:

Your brain rejects logic, chews and spits it out before any of the rationale seeps into you. You have wanted this for far too long. The need inside you for a meaningful relationship materializes in the form of recklessness, desperately looking for surface-level relief for the moment. A night of sewing sutures to your battle-worn heart, stitches that may come off at the slightest strain - but right now, that will do.

- Opaline Moon. (I'm sorry I know its not a line T_T)

No pressure tagging: @jimilter, @agustdealer, @voiceswithoutlips, @beckysworld7, @sugalaritae, @jeonjcngkook, @moccahobi, @ditttiii, @moonse0k, @kookthief, @sublimebangtan, @yutasthetic, @hobeemin and anyone else who wishes to do this! <3 And if you have done it already pls forgive a blind bich ily 🥰

Hey! I'm recent to the fandom and wanted to know if there's a MUST READ list anywhere or any really good gems that are unmissable. I've already went thought cavaleira's (almost) whole AO3 account and am still recovering from 'Take the Long Way Home' (like, how soon is too soon for a re-read?). Also, awesome blog :)

Hi!

So I bring you a mix of genres and there’s both canon and AU fics, basically what I feel really captures the experience of this fandom as I know it. Take the Long Way Home would be very high on that list so you’re already covered there, just linking for other readers.

Note: 1) Unless I absolutely couldn’t help it, it’s one fic per author but on this list there are MANY very prolific, very talented authors. Please check out their other works too. 2) Some of these are current or even abandoned WIPs. Some stuff is just too good even without an ending.

First you have the list of just titles and authors, then under the cut the same list but with summaries included because this is just so long.

A Brother’s Treason by dreamlittleyo

Thor can tell, by the barely discernible narrowing of Loki’s eyes, that his brother is surprised to see him.

To Be the Anvil by Schaudwen

Let slip the dogs of war by amberfox17

The air hums with the charge of his seidr, bottling up inside him, unable to escape so long as he is bound within the enchanted cuffs, and the beast in him is still battle-hungry and furious.

When Thor went storming into Jotunheim he was looking to start a fight, but accidently winds up a pawn in Odin and Laufey’s plans for a permanent peace between the realms; namely, in exchange for the return of the Casket of Ancient Winters, Laufey is offering his firstborn child Loki, the Aesir-sized sorcerer, in marriage to Thor. Such a momentous decision is not to be taken lightly, so Odin sends Thor to live on Jotunheim - without Mjolnir - for a season with Loki, to get to know his prospective consort and to teach the wilful prince some diplomatic sense. Thor is horrified, his parents are insistent and no-one really knows what Loki is thinking, but he hasn’t stopped smiling…Or, a jotun AU arranged marriage worldbuilding fic, featuring a confused Thor, a manipulative bastard Loki, Jotunheim politics, a slow burn developing relationship and a motley arrangement of characters from Marvel and myth.

Dog inside the heart by thebookhunter

Thor and Loki are the children of a dynasty of great actors. Their mother Frigga is a grande dame of the stage and muse of the finest European movie directors, their father Odin is going down in history as the Lawrence Olivier of his time.

But as they become dragged under the public eye, so does their past, full of secrets and lies.

There are things that not even Thor can protect Loki from.

Facing the Vast by needleyecandy

England has just declared war on Napoleon, Naval captains are winning their laurels on a daily basis, and Thor’s ship is ordered to the South Seas to seek out a lost scientific vessel.

Loki is an artist employed by the naturalist who accompanies HMS Hope on the expedition of rescue and research. He is to make quick and accurate sketches of those plants that catch his employer’s eye. For the first time in his life, the rest of his time is his own.

Thor is fucked.
