Thor/Avengers AU: While out for his daily run, Steve Rogers stumbles across Loki. There's only one glaring difference to how the Captain remembers the god of Mischief and how he appears now. Loki doesn't look like he can be older than six or seven years of age, nor can Steve ignore the utter terror he sees in the boys eyes.
Eir had declared, upon completing her examination of the boy, grim faced and tone heavy, that he would likely not live past another week, and that he and the All-Mother would do well to begin planning funerary rites. That assuming the All-Father did not just simply intend to have the child sent back to whence it had come, to expire as it had been meant to expire.
On their first trip to Asgard, Steve Rogers and Tony Stark make a startling and dismaying discovery as to the fate of their once enemy, Loki. In the course, Steve finds himself forming the most unlikely of friendships, and discovering that everything he once thought he knew and understood about Thor's wayward little brother couldn't have been more wrong.
Thor and Loki go venturing to a remote cave system in search of an ancient artifact. But when danger finds them there, and both brother's find themselves badly injured, it will take all they have to survive. Pre-Thor
Thor hasn't seen Loki in over a year. Not since he moved out of their apartment and in with his boyfriend Thanos. And then one day, Loki shows back up, worse for ware than Thor's seen him in a long time. Thor human AU. Warnings for graphic depictions of violence, mentions of rape/non-con, hurt/comfort, NorseBros.
Thor AU: After a terrible car accident, Thor's kid brother Loki ends up blind and deaf, and Thor must deal with the consequences, and the new found responsibility of having to care for a child infinitely more vulnerable and helpless within the world than already he had been.
At seventeen years of age, Loki Odinson is committed to a New York State Sanatorium, located centrally in East Side Brooklyn. At seventeen, Loki Odinson is declared, legally, mentally insane.
Thor hasn't seen his brother in five years, a reality which for all that time he's regretted deeply. On the eve of Christmas then, he decides to visit Loki, in his little antique book store.
Loki is injured, gravely, guarding Thor's back in battle.
For once, the doors to Loki's chambers came open without resistance, and distantly, Thor knew that meant his little brother was, likely, presently occupied.
When Loki is a very young child, he is almost desperately affectionate.
