Clarissa - Lissy to her friends - had seemingly had it all.  Brains, beauty, talent... what she didn't have was confidence.  Not any more.  Once a successful professional pianist, tragedy struck and altered her forever.  Now?  She was a shadow of her former self.  Teaching from home, hiding from a world she no longer felt safe in.  Her only solace? Music. Her only passions, good and bad? Her memories. Of him. Seeing him just once, he'd changed her forever.

He was tired. Of being taunted and reviled.  He was afraid. Of being alone.  When his brother suggested a hobby might take his mind elsewhere, bringing him suggestions to put his talented hands to legitimate use for a change,  publicly, he laughed in his face.  Secretly, he was intrigued. Maybe.... in time.  

So begins a dance in the shadows.  One still afraid of their past, both desperate to have a future.  How long before both ended up in the same light?

Love Affair That Lasts Forever - Book 1 of 3 (Loki and Kate series) by Fairydust2023
16 parts Complete Mature
When Loki meets the love of life, he begins to understand love isn't a weak emotion after all and that he is not unworthy of it. It consumes every fiber of his being the day he spots Kate McKenzie at a local street market in downtown Greenwich. Kate had met her fair share of suitors, but none that made it hard to breath, the way he did the first time she met him. This is a love story. Not an MCU story, but what life on Midgard could truly be like for Loki. For him to know that he is worthy of being loved, completely. *This is my first story. I promise there will be fluff, but not a tacky, gross stuff. My characters are not the trashy sort. So this won't be full of Smut. I am still working on ideas and trying to fit my story into a narrative that I think Loki deserves. ** I am still editing and re-working this at times. If this isn't your kind of story, thank you for at least reading some of it But you might find that you like it if you keep reading it!! * I do not own the rights to the MCU characters Loki, Thor and Jane Foster * I do not own the rights to the song that this story that gave me the idea and the headspace to write this Love Affair That Last Forever. by Richard Marx I wonder why it took so long for us to meet And if I ever passed you some street And I die just a little every time I count the days you should have already been mine I have waited all my life for you Knowin' no one else would ever do Baby, we were meant to be together Yeah, you and me We're gonna be The love affair that lasts forever You bring to life every single fantasy You and I, love how you make a mess of me What I feel has never been felt before We have it all, and all I want is more I have waited all my life for you Knowin' no one else will ever do Baby we were meant to be together Yeah, you and me Were gonna be The love affair that lasts forever

24 parts Complete Mature

You set out on a poorly planned mission to avenge a close friend and end up making an unlikely ally (Loki in disguise). The brief partnership ends up becoming more than a one-night-thing, despite everyone's best efforts, and soon you're enveloped in the world of Loki, prince of New-Asgard, and you have a newfound power growing within you - your own glorious purpose. Romance is never easy, especially when gods and monsters are in play, but you're on a journey to become more than just Loki's paramour... you're becoming his Lady. Story takes place in a wishful-thinking AU after Thor Ragnarok (Although I guess now every AU is kind of cannon, isn't it?). The Asgardians made it to Earth - Loki doesn't die. Natasha is still alive, Tony is still cocky and breathing, Vision is... around. Endgame and Infinity War are great, but let's keep the sad shit out of this one, shall we?
