In a galaxy where Infinity War happened about forty years before it was supposed to, Thanos rules the remaining population with his Infinity Gauntlet. And to celebrate the Balance he has brought to the universe, as well as his defeat over the rebel uprising that followed his victory, an annual Contest is hosted where two contenders, a male and a female, are chosen from each of the districts. They must participate in a fight to the death for the honor of the everlasting Balance, where only one can triumph above the others.

When Loki becomes a contender in the Contest, he is determined to do whatever it takes to win and fulfill his promise to his best friend. But to win, he will have to decide who he really is, who his allies are, and if he can even trust the advice of his enigmatic and seemingly hypocritical mentor.

Winning means preserving the Balance.

Losing means joining the Fallen.

Two of A Kind by AJK_ForFun
12 parts Complete Mature
In this alternate universe, Loki is sent to Midgard after the fight over the Aether. The Avengers question the Allfather's sanity, but agree they would rather have Loki where they can keep an eye on him. So, after some extensive remodeling, the Avengers Tower and neighboring facilities are now an extensive training ground with everything they'll need to reform the once proud Asgardian prince. Thor is hopeful. He wants the brother he thought Loki was back. Clint (Hawkeye) is waiting for a reason to exact some much deserved revenge. Steve (Captain America) has hope that even the most hardened of evil doers can be changed for the better. No one quite knows what Natasha (Black Widow) is thinking. Tony (Iron Man) resents having to share his tower with a psychopath. Bruce (Hulk) did not fly away to Sakar. He's brooding away in his own private wing. Scott (Antman) is under house arrest... at the tower. Wanda (Scarlet Witch) is still mourning her brother while nurturing a still very naive Vision. (Neither are living in the tower. Will only play small, fleeting parts in this story.) Dr Strange refuses to move into the tower. After all, it is more important to keep up with his work at the Sanctum. Peter (Spiderman) is spending his summer at the Tower, much to the dismay of Aunt May, who knows how dangerous this is, but does not know Loki has returned. Sam (Falcon) will follow Cap to the ends of the earth, but refuses to jump off the proverbial bridge just because Cap's doing it. Bucky (Winter Soldier) is trying to atone for his past misdeeds, while learning what exactly they were, but is living in Wakanda with T-challa (Black Panther) so neither will be playing a large role in this story. Then there's Aite. She's new. She's the Greek goddess of mischief, delusion, folly, and ruin. You'd think her and Loki would be the best of friends... Not so much.
Puzzle Of A Chosen Trickster by Taboojinx

After Thanos snaps half of the universe out of existence, Tony is grieving but his brain still won't stop asking questions. Like why on Earth did Loki leave Thor a stone covered in runes that looks suspiciously like a puzzle? He soon finds out that inside that little puzzle, the God of Lies left behind the truth. Along with his plan and the fact that his death is anything but permanent. ------------------- Marvel owns the characters. I did not make the art on the cover but I did make the cover itself. I don't own any of the art or music that may be featured. I own the writing. Please do not copy or post to another site or app. Warning! Temporary character death (spoiler), and very canon divergent. Also, sorry for any mistakes with Infinity War and End Game, but I genuinely think I blocked the movies out of my memory because all I remember is my favorite characters dying. :( Some of the differences are on purpose though because I didn't like a lot about the movies. This is my fifth published story. (July 2 2020 (I think anyways, the date on the published mark keeps changing)) (Made before the Loki series) Mature for canon-typical violence and gore. Frostiron/Ironfrost (Tony+Loki) (mostly implied and at the end) Some notable hashtag achievements (thank you all so much for the support!): -#1 in marvel (Sep 15, 2021) -#1 in alternaterealities (Sep 15, 2021) -#1 in frostiron (May 22, 2022) -#1 in lokifriggason (June 23, 2022) -#1 in hela (July 2, 2022) -#1 in ironfrost (October 13, 2022) Hit 20k reads on June 12, 2022!

When I Landed by BooBitchItsABook
59 parts Complete Mature
Falling Wind gushes past me as I tumble through the void. Stars blur together in the never ending dark, and I can't help but feel cold. And it's not the kind of cold that fades with warmth. It's the kind that grips your heart, freezes your limbs, and quickens every breath. It forces you to take note of how trapped your brain is, how it has been locked away without a key. It's the kind of cold that reeks of fear filled pain. The kind that makes you long for death's arrival. Smack Slimy, rocky, stones slam into me. For a never ending moment I can't breathe, I can't move. Landing I've finally landed, and now I want nothing more than to keep falling. I want nothing more than to feel the familiar arrival of my death. - (This story is still under editing) Loki is sent to Midgard after the events of Ragnarok. In this story Frigga was only injured by the dark elves and Asgard was greatly damaged but still fixable. Because of Frigga Hela decided to form a strained peace with Odin but her hatred for him remains. Now Asgard is under repair and Loki is sent to live with the Avengers to 'protect Asgards people' *cough* more like protect *cough* Odin's pride *cough cough* And during Thor and Loki's time together many truths about Loki's past are dragged out into the open, causing wounds to heal, tear, and appear. ⚠️This story will contain graphic details of torture, self harm and other painful subjects so viewer discretion is advised.⚠️ Happy Reading📚 #1 in sadloki Officially completed 💅💅💅
Asgardian Twilight by LuminousAvenger
40 parts Complete Mature
Thor Odinson has once again restored peace to the nine realms and eliminated the threat of Ragnarok, effectively saving his world. This should be cause for celebration but all is not right on Asgard during his absence. When he digs deeper, Thor discovers that Loki lives and has been masquerading as Odin for some time now. In an effort to recover the king, both Thor and Loki travel to earth in time to learn a startling revelation- Thor is not Odin's firstborn. That title belongs to Hela, the goddess of death, and she has returned to claim the nine realms, promising to drench all of creation in blood. Meanwhile on earth, after being freed from prison following his defiance of the law, Dean Allen is a fugitive on the run. Determined to find Thor and aid him in his quest to prevent a cosmic threat, he embarks on a journey that will take him far from earth to the blood-soaked arenas of Sakaar and into a deadly clash of gods.

To Save A Life (Loki X Reader) by MLorane
21 parts Ongoing
Loki is sentenced to either be executed or stay on earth without his magic until he has a change of heart. Y/n a 16 year old orphan, telepathic, and telekinetic teenager saved Natasha's life on a mission, Nat thinks maybe she can save Loki, too. Thor wants to keep his brother alive. Avengers are trying to help Thor in any way they can. Loki would rather die than be defenceless in front of the mad titan. Again. Can he defeat the Mad titan? School, tests, and trying to keep a villain from killing everybody and himself, *sighs*. How hard can it be, really? What does the trickster do when he realises he is in love? How far is she willing to go to save his life? DUAL POV *LOKI* AND *Y/N* In this fic, Loki is 897 years old, which is like 17 in human terms, assuming they live 5000 years. Slow burn compared to what I have usually read in these types of fics. Loki x reader. HAPPY ENDING (at the end of the trilogy). He deserves it. I'll try my best to deliver on my word, but no promises. Updates every fortnight. Or every week. I have school to deal with, so please be a bit patient. Disclaimer- I do not own the Avengers or Loki, sadly. And you own yourself. Enjoy 😊 Most impressive ranking as of 9 September 2024: #7 on loki x reader 11 December 2024: #3 on Loki Love story 13 May 2024: #66 on Loki laufeyson 18 June 2024: #29 on Thanos 23 July 2024: #31 on Odin 24 June 2024: #408 on Loki 17 July 2024: #5 on Frigga 1 August 2024: #19 on Bruce Banner 7 August 2024: # 47 on Tony Stark

My MCU Book 1 *Books can be read alone or all together* 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘥𝘴: 33,196 Almost everyone knows how the events in the MCU went down, right? Lots of death, betrayal, and hearts breaking around every corner (character and viewer alike). What if there was someone behind the scenes who helped prevent all of that? What if there was an extra character - one who, like her sister, was banished - who made so many important friendships and relationships that one day helped her save the world and the people in it? Multiple times too. We start the journey following Liv Odindottir and her adventures through my own take of the Marvel Universe, where hopefully, everyone gets a happy ending. You'll just have to read and see to be sure. #7 in ragnarok -- 01/16/24 #5 in frigga -- 01/29/24 #4 in frigga -- 02/14/24 #3 in avengersxoc -- 03/27/24 #2 in avengersxoc -- 04/02/24 *Little note - I know there's a lot of chapters but like 95% of them are really really short lol*
