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)

A Tale of Mischief and Mutants  by geekygirlg
200 parts Complete Mature
When Samantha a mutant and X-man is rescued from her captors by S.H.I.E.L.D she finds comfort from an unlikely source. This story follows the relationship between my OC Samantha Howlett and everyone's favorite Jotun Loki Odinson. This is an AU where the X-men have existed in the MCU since the very beginning they are involved in the events that take place in the MCU such as the battle of New York and other "Avengers level threats." In this AU Thor Ragnarok goes down slightly differently with Thor loosing his hammer when he falls from the bifrost instead of it being broken by Hela. He finds it later and figures out its no match for Hela. Thor then goes to forge Stormbreaker which is also not strong enough and he's forced to allow Ragnarok to take place. Thanos is killed prior to 2018 so he never gets the infinity stones and most of the events in Infinity War and Endgame do not occur. In this AU Spider-Man has a public identity now and everyone's knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man. He didn't flip out like he does in the movies because Tony is there to help him through it. Magic works slightly differently than it does in the movies because I wrote this before some of the rules with it were established and it's too late to change it now for story reasons. There are also other differences that luckily can be explained away via the multiverse. Though I try to draw a lot of inspiration from the main MCU timeline and work with the continuity that gives me it's not always possible to do because of how this story needs to play out. TRIGGER WARNINGS: Strong language, violence, some sexual content (honestly not much more than a PG-13 movie would show) mentions and descriptions of physical abuse and sexual abuse. Obviously I own nothing but my OCs. Enjoy!

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.
When I Landed by BooBitchItsABook

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 💅💅💅
