  1. Summary

    Gods walk among us and are fueled (as anywhere) by worship in America. The diaspora spawns new attitudes and cultures with each coming generation of immigrants. The gods and spirits brought to California by our grandparents are still having a ton of fun. What happens when old gods meet new gods? What happens when new generations of old gods come with more recent immigrants and meet those who have been in America for a while? What happens when fandom spawns a new type of god? While I adore Gaiman as a storyteller, he's from England and very flatly told a story about America. The American Experiment has been going on for a while, and it deserves an American Gods story that captures a few more experiences, don't you think?

    Summary

    This used to be a loose collection of vignettes and little scenes that came to me and did not make it into the main stories. They were once set in Thor's and Loki's childhood and the future respectively, after Loki returns from in-patient treatment. At the time, it was a purely self-indulgent affair but the more I posted, the more scenes took place at the same time as the main series and the lack of chronology began to bother me, so I recently made an effort to edit it all into a coherent timeline that starts as far back as 1970.

    Summary

    Tony leaned on the back two legs of his chair. “How do I deal with you now that I know you’re here? I want some input from you.”

    “You go your way and I will go mine.”

    “We both know you can’t do that. You’ve always got to cause some sort of trouble.”

    “Maybe I’m turning over a new leaf.”

    “Maybe you’re just biding your time until you can conquer the world.”

    “Oh, for the love of your God, fixate on something else,” said Loki. “I am not causing mischief or making dastardly plans. Nor am I scheming, raising Hel, plotting your downfall, or up to no good. I cannot make it any clearer to you that I do not want to conquer your world.”

     

    Tony spots Loki in a Starbucks when he's supposed to be imprisoned on Asgard. A media circus ensues, and the lives of everyone sucked into the aftermath change forever.
