Yeah, now that I think of it the Coulson issue is suddenly making a horrifyingly huge amount of sense and I'm actually getting newly angry at the idea of palling around with Loki after he killed Coulson as I sit here. It's weird that I forgot about it — it was right in the forefront of my mind when I first saw the movie, and I know I have made comparisons between Coulson and Yinsen.

Signs you've been reading too much Avengers-fic: You forget Coulson's actually dead :D

[(Anonymous)]

Someone (supposedly) found Coulson walking around in the ending scene on the Helicarrier. Whether I believe that or not, I'm ignoring that Coulson is actually dead. :)

[dazzledfirestar]

I saw that too... don't know if I buy it (the screen cap is REALLY low quality and the shot's pretty far out. It could really be anybody). But I'm perfectly happy to play the DENY DENY DENY game in fic. ;)

Signs you've been reading too much Avengers-fic: You forget Coulson's actually dead :D

Ain't that the truth? lol Of course that depends on what you read. If you pair him off with anyone there's enough angsty "OMG DEATH!" or fix it fic to remind you. ;)

It's my major sticking point with Loki as Avenger fic in general right now. As said, if it is dealt with, or if there are characters that are very uncomfortable/angry about it (ie Clint, Tony, or PEPPER! God I'd love to see fic where Pepper freaks out that Loki's hanging out in Stark Tower because HE KILLED HER FRIEND!!) then I could totally buy it.'

I just don't think Loki's getting an invite to Thanksgiving dinner that easily. LOL

[intrigueing]

I admit that even though I'm not a Loki fan, I'm a huge fan of Loki-redemption (I mean actual redemption, not retcons of 'oh, he was actually good all along') simply because I love Thor so much and I know that the only scenario in which he'll be truly happy is if Loki becomes good again and the thought of Loki making Thor so miserable by hating him and doing terrible things without remorse makes my heart break. So I'm admittedly a bit too overzealous with wanting everything to be okay for Thor's sake.

But yes, definitely, no matter how sincere he is redeemed!Loki would have to absolutely crawl for it to get anyone to give him an inch of leeway after killing Coulson. I'm sure the 9/11-ish scads of tragedies from the battle of Manhattan aren't gonna do him any favors either. Neither will all the SHIELD agents who lost coworkers. Or Clint's likely case of severe PTSD.

See, this is why evil people are considered EVIL.

However, most Tony/Loki fics I've seen actually have Coulson alive in them (joys of fandom fix-it tendencies)

[dazzledfirestar]

Okay, this is a legitimate question on this, because I don't read Tony/Loki much and I'm curious.

In "Coulson is alive" versions, did the attack still happen? Was he still stabbed? Or is that just not a part of those fics' canon?

[intrigueing]

Yes, it's usually explained by "when Fury said "they called it" (about the paramedics who appeared just before the scene cut away from Coulson), he was lying". And Coulson's actually in a coma in a secret Hellicarrier ICU. Given Fury's stunt with the trading cards, I suppose it's the most IC reaction.

I did see one fix-fic where the Avengers find out that Coulson's not totally dead because the spear he was stabbed with was magic, and they go to Arlington cemetery to dig up his body and heal him with Asgardian voodoo and accidentally zombify all the corpses in Arlington. That was a really creepy one.

[(Anonymous)]

do you have a link for the zombie one?

[intrigueing]

Oh man I'm sorry: I forgot the title and my bookmarks are a mess and I'm not sure I even have it bookmarked, but it was a multi-chapter fic whose focus was actually developing a Steve/Tony/Pepper OT3 with Steve spending most of the story freaking out and trying to resist temptation, and the whole Coulson subplot was a plot element that was there to draw the three closer, but was shockingly disturbing and dark.

I do, however, remember that one of the AO3 tags was "incidental zombies". So if you search for that, I think you'll find it. ;)

You're looking for Come at Me (http://archiveofourown.org/works/427806/chapters/720028) :)

[dazzledfirestar]

Thank you! [bookmarked for later]

[dazzledfirestar]

Okay, that's pretty consistent with non Loki/Tony fic so... cool. lol

OMG... um... link? I'd kind of like to read the crap out of that! :D
