Summary
Thor is taking Darcy and Jane away for a month to Asgard. Jane would be studying the stars, and Darcy is widely adored as she spends her time running around his palace and spreading mischief and getting into trouble.
“Am I dead? Because if I’m dead, Jane is going to be furious, and honestly she has grounds.”
“You are not dead.”
“Great. Love that. Wonderful opening clarification.”
Frigga had crossed the room without sound and sat at the edge of the chair near Darcy’s bed, looking both entirely real and slightly impossible, like moonlight had remembered how to have hands.
“I have little time,” Frigga said.
“That is never comforting when said by mystical mothers.”
“My son is in danger.”
“Loki.”

Summary
Darcy had a plan.
This was immediately suspicious.
Not because Darcy did not usually have plans. Darcy almost always had plans. Lunch plans. Lab containment plans. Emotional triage plans. Plans for keeping Tony from substituting caffeine for bone marrow. Plans for ensuring Jane did not accidentally ascend into a higher state of astrophysical rage due to underfeeding. Plans for getting Clint out of vents, Natasha into soft blankets, Bruce away from guilt spirals, Fury near vegetables, and Thor into conversations that did not begin with “In my youth” and end with furniture damage.
But this was not one of those plans.
This plan had maps.
Realm maps.
Asgardian maps, Alfheim path charts, Jane’s translated realm-time models, Loki’s notes written in an elegant, slanted hand that made every sentence look like it knew something it was not telling you, and Tony’s projected threat lattice glowing above the common room table in a way that suggested the future had developed a migraine.
This is the third work in the series, but can be read as a standalone.

Summary
“This is war,” Frigga said softly.
Darcy flinched.
“This is genocide,” Frigga continued. “Not metaphor. Not fear. Not a distant threat that may be avoided if good people remain clean enough. He has slaughtered worlds already. He will slaughter more. He will gather the Stones if he can. And if he succeeds, he will not debate consent with the universe before he tears half of it away.”
Tears slipped down Darcy’s face.
Frigga stepped closer.
“I do not tell you this because cruelty is wisdom,” she said. “It is not. I do not tell you this because every enemy may be violated in the name of survival. They may not. I do not tell you this because victory excuses all methods. It does not.”

And what are we without hospitality but savages by Celosia_cristata

Summary
He was enormous in person. More enormous than visions had managed to translate, because visions had scale but not weight. He had the kind of presence tyrants cultivated and mountains achieved by accident. Armour dark and clean. Hands bare. Face calm. His eyes rested on her with the satisfaction of someone who had finally caught a question that had been irritating him.
Darcy did not reach for Pivot.
She did not step back.
She did not shout.
She smiled.
Warmly.
As if seeing an old friend at a party where the appetisers were bad but the gossip was promising.
“Hi,” she said. “You must be Thanos.”
His expression did not change, which meant it absolutely did, just somewhere more internal.
Darcy glanced around the chamber. “Do you have drinks? Water is fine. Tea if we’re being civilised. I have had an extremely long trip, and honestly, what are we without hospitality but savages?”
The silence that followed was almost worth the abduction.
