The Allfather has run out of options. Loki has made a fool of him and a fool of his realm one too many times. If he won't stay in his prison on Asgard, maybe he'll fare better stuck in Stark Tower. (Needless to say, Tony doesn't like that idea. He calls in a few friends for help.) {Cover by @kozkaboi}

This was originally supposed to be mostly Loki series oneshots but it's now really just kinda everything Marvel, and the only reason I haven't changed the name is that I like the cover (but Loki really is in most of them). cover by the legend themself @cant-we-be-seventeen

"I have built dozens of holes in this plan," Loki hisses. "Find them." When Loki tries to sabotage his own plan, the only reasonable explanation Tony can think of is that he wants to go back to Asgard, and that alone is more than enough reason to keep him on Earth. Tony reluctantly agrees to keep Loki in Stark Tower just long enough for Thor to talk to his father about how to proceed. His visit ends up lasting much longer. Cover by Carry_On_Waywards

Loki had committed treason on a level Asgard had never seen. He would not be welcome back to his home realm. He would remain at the mercy of those he tried to control: the humans, SHIELD, and, of course, HYDRA. By the time the Avengers come knocking HYDRA's door, Loki's long gone in every sense but the physical. Fortunately, even in his silent, fearful state, he's managed to make some friends. Wanda and Pietro won't let anyone hurt him. The Avengers are nothing but a threat, and Ultron makes them a promise that they'll be free of those so-called heroes soon enough. (Basically, it's an Age of Ultron au where Wanda and Pietro have adopted a very broken Loki and they're determined to keep him safe.)

When the Tesseract lands at Loki's feet, he knows he should take it and run, but curiosity gets the better of him. He just has to know why there are two Tony Starks walking around Stark Tower. Cover by the wonderful Carry_On_Waywards

Loki faked his death. Again. After his mother died, there was nothing to keep him in Asgard, so when Thor unknowingly gave him this chance, he took it without hesitation. Life on Midgard is lonely and mind-numbingly boring, but he would choose it every time over the alternatives: life imprisonment in the dungeon, or, worse, another visit to Thanos's Sanctuary. It's all going decently well until he runs into Clint Barton. (I'm too lazy to make a real cover don't mind me)

Loki died years ago. He fell from the Bifrost and he died. So how is he here now, weeping into Thanos's corpse?

Natasha's training didn't account for this. For gods. For beings so powerful, they could tear the world apart with their bare hands, yet they still crave more. They always crave more. (a Loki x Natasha Romanoff fic)

They were supposed to find peace. That was the deal. He Who Remains could do his thing, and Loki and Sylvie could take their friends and live out their days on Midgard. They would get their apple-pie life. Then the world turns black and white, Mobius and Hunter B-15 become completely different people overnight, and Loki and Sylvie have to suffer through some real-life sitcom bullshit for just a glimmer of hope that maybe they'll get their friends back. (Or, Loki and his friends get stuck in Westview when Wanda takes over the town)

All Loki wanted when he escaped that godforsaken interrogation room was to find the Tesseract and use it to finish what he started. Now he's stuck working with Thor's human ex and an obnoxiously cheerful middle-aged man to catch another version of himself who could quite literally be at any time and any place in the history of ever. ... He really should have stayed in Asgard. (A Loki/Jane Foster fic set during the events of Loki season one)
