*** Currently being reworked. Unknown when new version will be ready *** Salience (the quality of being particularly noticeable or important) Stranded on Earth due to an unforeseen circumstances, the renegade god, Loki, finds himself held in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody at a facility known as the Raft. Little does anyone know that his continued presence on Earth has begun a chain reaction that, if allowed to grow, will change the fate of the universe. As the ragtag group of acquaintances known as the Avengers recover from the Battle of New York, secrets come to light, allegiances are revealed, and blossoming friendships are tested. All this begs the question; what is the cause of such a change and what is the cost? Author's Note: As an avid reader of fanfiction, I've often come across a story trope which I find quite interesting. A 'what if' scenario revolving around Loki somehow remaining on Earth after his defeat at the hands of the newly formed Avengers. From my time spent reading these stories, I've seen that many follow the genre of hurt/comfort through to the same conclusion. And I mused; what would I write when presented with the same scenario? The Avengers are not going to start off as friends. There's going to be infighting. It's going to be messy. This is not going the way you think. Best be prepared. This isn't a story about redemption and found family.

Loki's punishment for attacking Midgard involves him staying in the Avengers Tower, helping to fix the city he tried to break, no magic allowed. With hateful stares directed at him everywhere he goes, Loki spirals downwards into a battle with himself, triggered by the memories of his time in the Void. But with the Avengers close by, they soon realise that there's another monster they have to face, a monster much harder to defeat than a legion of Chitauri. ⚠️WARNING:⚠️ -heavy mentions of anorexia -disturbing descriptions of torture -mentions of rape STAY SAFE ❤️ if anything in this story is triggering, or invokes unhealthy thoughts about food, PUT IT DOWN!! ‼️DISCLAIMER:‼️ Do I own the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

Book I of the Resurgence Saga. "Today is the one opportunity you beseech your gods for. A chance at freedom becoming more than an illusion!" A game of shadows and lies is played as a ship heads for a solitary world, a certain raven-haired god is broken and left with only a single name as a memory, and a mad ruler prepares a deadly tournament for his own sick enjoyment. Each of these truths stand alone, but in the battle for the universe, there is seldom a causeless action taken. A mysterious foe lingers in the mind of the fallen, sentient powers awaken, and the truth the universe tried to hide will come to light. What happened in the time known as the 'before' and why does it seem no one is willing to break their vow of silence? Praise for Resurgence: "Absolutely brilliant!
