People wanted another one, so...

PANFANDOM REC MEME

"I ship it!"
"I want fic!"
"I want art!"
"I don't care what it is, but I want it!"
"Where's the fandom?"

Rec meme! You ask for recs, and others provide (or fill!).

Maybe there's something you'd really like to see but you can't find it. Why not ask for help? It might be out there! Or maybe there's something you really loved reading and you want someone to geek over it with. Why not rec it to someone else? Maybe they'll love it too! Who knows, someone out there might be looking for something that sounds exactly like someone you know just created.

Don't feel bad about reccing your own stuff, either! Apparently someone else wants to see it, right?

TEXTBOX (optional, dont worry):

Regular post will be up at the usual time!

Does anyone know any good Thor or Avengers fics in which Loki is redeemed BUT has to deal with the consequences of his actions, the author doesn't make excuses for him and the other characters aren't portrayed as villains to make Loki look good?

I would prefer brotherly gen with him and Thor, but I'll take any pairings if the fic is good.

If you hadn't read it yet, I can recommend Wandering Child:

http://norsekink.livejournal.com/8802.html?thread=18193250#t18193250

The prompt was that the Avengers discover Loki is underage and see his actions in a new light. They do discover he's been abused and Odin comes off pretty horrible, BUT, and that's a big but, Loki is still held very much responsible for his actions and they don't immediately forgive him. In fact, it is now still in progress and 72 chapters in and he still haven't been forgiven by all of them. Plus, almost every character that is shown to be bad later turns out to look more like a victim of circumstances, so… I just recommend it. It's very thorough.

Thank you, I'll definitely give that one a try!

Seconding this rec. It's very very long, unfinished and so detailed. It really gets into things.

Plus, almost every character that is shown to be bad later turns out to look more like a victim of circumstances

As a note to the OP looking for fic, this is the reason the above recced fic didn't appeal to me personally. Just an FYI.

It was a decent fic until the Loki stans ruined it for me in that wank. I had some problems with the story even before they started their white knighting but despite that, it was still an enjoyable read, and I also liked that the A!A treated criticism really gracefully, but the stans left a really sour taste in my mouth (and dear god, it's like that story lured the most annoying and unbearable users out from their caves, and it seems like they are still unable to understand that Norse mythology =/= Marvel Movieverse).

Ugh, I know what you mean. They almost ruined it for me too, but i ended up ignoring all the comments that came in.

That said, it's a really good fic and realistically portrayed. I felt that the 'bad due to victim of circumstances' was pretty realistic, since no one's forgiven for being bad due to their situation.

Lost Boys - When Loki is captured by Shield, they discover a dark secret between Loki and Odin. A different take on Loki's 'monster' kids.

Second Wandering Child. Reading it right now myself, cannot recommend enough.

The Hangman's Hands - Thor and Loki never get back to Asgard. Now S.H.I.E.L.D. is stuck with the world's most hated war criminal on their hands and everyone wants a piece - unless they can find a way to get rid of him for good. Jane/Thor/Loki triangle. Post-Avengers.

Redemption Song - attempt at a Loki's redemption scenario. There are only two things that could bring Loki and the Avengers together: a common enemy, or something happening to Thor. This is #2.
http://www.fanfiction.net/s/8179869/1/

Ilk - After the battle on Earth, Loki returns home a prisoner. However, when another threatens Odin's realm, it is he who must save Asgard. Badly injured, Loki seeks the aid of the Avengers, while someone else will have the heart of the would-be King. Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day and other poignant idioms. IRONFROST. Loki whump.

Like Poison - Loki makes another enemy and decides to go to the Avengers for help. The Avengers are not amused.
(I don't recall if this one is good) http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7024614/1/

Thank you so much! All of these look excellent!

THIS: http://archiveofourown.org/works/403598 it's called Everlasting Winter and it's just fantastic so far. It's very much brotherly gen but apparently there will be Loki/Natasha toward the end? So far it's covered stuff when they were kids, and then on Asgard, and between movies, and it just started covering Avengers. The author has done an incredible job fleshing out Loki's character. And I messaged her on Tumblr because I was curious (that's how I found the story to begin with) and she said it's a Loki redemption fic by the end.

Thank you! Wow, I have so much reading material now. :D

Brotherly Gen with Loki even bonding with the Avengers (particularly Steve and Tony). There is the a reoccurring OFC who is Loki's therapist, but she is a gem and doesn't steal the spotlight. The story started on norsekink and was about 10-15 chapters in before Avengers came out so it isn't compliant with the canon of the Avengers movie. It's pretty long, but it is worth it! You get to see Loki work through his issues and see how he slowly evolves as a character.

Thanks, that story looks amazing as well!
