When his worst fear comes true, Asgard's Dark Prince will stop at nothing to rescue his pregnant consort. Yet, not even the threat of Asgard's forces looming in the skies over Alfheim can force the Unseelie Winter Realm Elves to produce Shannon when she's missing from her cell. Nightmares of his previous wife's death at the hands of the Unseelie haunt him as he searches for Shannon.

A feisty, newly immortal Elven Goddess, Shannon isn't the type to wait for rescue. Cut-off from connecting with her soulmate Loki by a dwarven iron cuff, she doesn't know who to trust. Although born on Alfheim, Shannon has no memories of this planet or its realms. Surrounded by dark forces wielding the power of blood sacrifices, this mortal-scientist-turned-goddess must rely on her wits and limited, dwindling energy resources for her and her child's survival. Only weeks remain in her pregnancy, and the Fates don't play fair. The cost to save her son may be more than her heart can bear.

Some truths are hard to swallow. 
Some laws of the universe can't be fought.  

Book Two of the Triquetra Prophecy Trilogy within the Gods Among Us universe is based in an amalgamation of world mythologies including Norse, West Coast First Nations, Mesoamerican, Celtic, Greek, Egyptian, and Chinese, blended with our current modern world, and expanded to other worlds across multiple solar systems within this alternate universe.

The Return of the Gods (Children of the Sun Book 1) by dragonthusiast

[2023 Wattys Shortlist, 2023 Amby Awards winner, Featured 4 times in Wattpad Picks lists] Kaleth has worked as an agent of Luxarx for years. What the average person might see as an exciting, dangerous job has become the routine, and the only thing that fazes Kaleth now is that his habit of wearing suits everywhere is somehow still a thing his teammates tease him over. But that's all about to change. An encounter with one unexpectedly peaceful (and cute) terrorist soldier brings everything he thought he knew into question. If not all Umbra are dangerous criminals, what else does Luxarx get wrong? As he investigates, Kaleth stumbles onto a conspiracy that doesn't just concern the agency, but also his government, and the whole world. There are monsters hiding in plain sight, secretly in charge of everything since the very beginning - the long-forgotten dragon-gods with supernatural abilities. And they are definitely not as mythological as everyone thought. Now branded traitors, can Kaleth and his team fight back against the government they once served, and stop a world war before it can start? --------------------------- [word count: ≈ 90 000 words] • Book 1 - The Return of the Gods • Book 2 - The Return to Irithara • Book 3 - The Return of the Lifebringer • Book 4 - The Aperios [Featured in Wattpad Picks lists: 'Extraordinary Realms ✨' in December 2023, 'Reading Radar' in January 2024, 'Celebrating Wattpad Hits' in February 2024, and Valiant Heroes 🏰✨🏔 in June 2024, and also on the @fantasy profile]

Loki After Endgame: Cheating Death by EmmalinaP

COMPLETED! Loki lets out a small chuckle, his eyes sparking with wild delight, "Of course we're bad for each other. We're both raging thunderstorms that will leave the world broken in its trail." He pauses, his eyes staring deep into mine, as if they hold all the magic in the cosmos. "But I don't care about the world. I never have. I care about you and I want you no matter the cost." --This isn't an insta-love story. But if you want to read about two morally ambiguous, antihero's who learn to trust each other as equals on an epic & whirlwind cosmic adventure to cheat death (that is inspired by the Thor & Loki comics & Norse mythology) then this story is for you!! SPOILERS... This slow burn romance is about Loki and is set after Avengers Endgame, so there will be spoilers about Endgame. Also the story does involve some time travel to the Ragnarok movie and Infinity War. It also features Kamilla, a feisty human girl who's training in the Mystic Arts under Dr. Strange and Master Wong. Kamilla has a penchant for scheming and lying and has questionable intentions for sneaking into the Avengers lab to time travel, so she can bring Loki back to life. Against her better judgment Kamilla makes a deal with the devil and agrees to serve him, but can she outwit and resist the trickster? ....And does she even want to? Meanwhile, Loki will have to do some self discovery and face his greatest challenge yet, as he outwits death one last time. This fanfic switches POV's between Loki and Kamilla and it features Thor, Lady Sif, Dr. Strange, Lorelei, The All-mothers and Thor's cousins. This adventure dives deep into marvel's fascinating mythology & takes place amid the nine realms. Also there are plenty of flashbacks to Asgard (specifically for those who've ever wondered about Loki's childhood and want to know how he became the Trickster). -- All Marvel characters are owned by Disney, this is fan-fiction! -- This story deals with some mature issues -- I don't the own photos!

Hybrid's Hollow by ImmortalKissvv

Supernatural creatures are real. They are a part of the world now, instead of hiding in the shadows. They want to belong. Will they? When Davyna's mother is killed protecting her from a vampire attack at their home, she vows never to be weak or unprepared again when it comes to ANY supernatural. But when her father is chosen to oversee the integration and safety of the human race within the new world, Davyna is forced to be in the absolute last place she ever wanted to be - and although she sees some good in these creatures, she struggles to accept being among them harmoniously, and chooses to close herself off to most. That is, until she meets a certain werewolf and vampire. As wars brew, secrets arise, and identities are discovered, will Davyna rise up and embrace her place in the supernatural world? Or will she abandon it all for a life of revenge and isolation, that's only filled with pain and intense hate? ______________________________________ [COMPLETED JANUARY 9th, 2021] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] [Kindness is greatly appreciated!

HIDDEN (#1, Gods Among Us) by MGHicks_reloaded

After a steamy encounter with Asgard's Dark Prince unlocks her genetics, an unsuspecting scientist discovers not only are Gods real, she is one. *** When Shannon boards her flight to London, she's stunned her seatmate is actor Tod Corvus. Their rawly sensual union forges an unbreakable connection while uncovering hidden truths. With her sense of identity shattered, Shannon fears the destruction of everything she's worked to build in her life. Trusting her heart to another isn't on the agenda after her painful past. But more than her feelings are at stake. Mastering new powers presents its own set of challenges when annoyance generates a wall of fire or fear spawns a tornado. Adjusting to her new reality requires time she may not have. The God of Chaos never expected to be blessed with a soulmate, especially after the death of his immortal wife. Finding Shannon, then losing her within hours of her Goddess transformation is devastating. And it's his fault. As a new immortal of unknown background, she has no idea of the range of her abilities, how to protect herself, or even what dangers await her in the immortal world. Loki has never feared his enemies. Until now. Now, he has everything to lose.

[COMPLETED] "Love can be cruel," he mutters. "I thought it would be the reason I would propose, but it's not. Love never wins, does it?" Cruel. Devious. Twisted love. Love can play games, and we just happen to be the pawns. We play our moves strategically like a game of chess, until it comes to this moment. We can let the world separate us, stop us, pull us apart. We can let this old love between us fray at the edges. If love is a game, then Cato and I are destined to lose. "You're right," I whisper. "But love still exists. Even for a moment." His knuckles brush against my waist, before he decides to pull me flush against his chest. We're close, and burning, and his breath feels like electricity on my skin. In his green eyes, I see remnants of the heavens, the northern auroras flashing illuminating inside of them. He holds a new world inside of him, and I long to be the first to discover it. Cato's nose brushes up against mine, the space between our mouths fading like stardust. "Even for a moment," he murmurs my words against me.

The Crucible Campaign by Wordsmith-Rain

Gods, Ethereal as they are, reproduce exactly the same way as their frail corporeal counterparts, though with a few small differences. What is to humans an innocuous, repetitive, constantly occurring event, is to gods the single-most rare Cosmic Alignment of Fate and Order that can happen. That is to say, a god's Death is far more Common than a god's Birth. When a god is born, their niche, or Purview, of mortal life that they will command is decided, and for a period of a few decades, they feel the need to 'stretch their wings'. This story begins when a god of Games is born, to the Norse god Loki and another, ironic god, Ullr the Allfather, the god of the Hunt, who was the original Norse god of Games. - Caroline Skøll, a gargantuan farm-fed Texan Woman of 50 year's Young, proud mother of her children, (the Twins, as well as her many dozens of adopted or fostered children from around the world) who makes her living as a farmer and a Blacksmith, and has done so for 10 years, ever since she was 'retired' from her position as BUDS Training Command-Master-Chief Smythesson, after 23 long years of service. Teagan Skøll, House-husband of 30 years, a Professor of Chemistry from Sweden, has two daughters, whom he is very proud of, and who, interchangeably with their younger siblings, he takes with him on his many 'adventures', (or guest-lectures in other countries.) Thomas Skøll, female, 26, built exactly like her mother, at 6'8", named in the hope of at least one male twin, but mother was too stubborn to change it afterwards, currently following in her mother's footsteps as Blacksmith's Apprentice, and saving for Biochem School. Cassidy Skøll, female, 26, Identical to (Younger by twelve minutes)Sister, served 8 years in USN as a Navy Seal EOD/Commander of the Team based in Cairo, and was Honorably Discharged after an IED in Northern Egypt took her Legs and Right Hand.
