Summary
You thought you knew what love was. It was cold, sterile, completely pragmatic in its application. A tender stroke of a hand when the pain became too much to bear, and praise when you had performed an experiment well enough to earn your parents the accolades of their colleagues. For over twenty years, you were raised by your adoptive family, traveling the galaxy to convention after convention, experiment after experiment where you thought you understood your lot in life. To love and to love, only to receive crumbs in return.
In a great display, and the equivalent of said crumbs embedding themself into your skin when laid on them too long, your sister sent you off on your own. To grant your dreams, she said, though she didn’t consider much else in her grand plan of your salvation. Homeless and without a dollar to your name, an alien in New York City, you decided to try and make the best of your situation.
It was funny. On this strange blue dot in a solar system far from everything you have ever known, you discovered there was more to life than chasing after scraps. You could be more than just a specimen for study.
You could be a hero. You could be happy. You could be loved.

Summary
Maya Banerjee, 27, Croydon native. Messy flat, sketchbook addict, perpetually single. One quiet Sunday she falls asleep watching The Fellowship of the Ring… and wakes up in Bree, in Peregrin Took’s body.
She knows the movies (mostly). She does not know how to be a hobbit.
Between mistaken identities, cultural confusion, and the inconvenient pull of a certain ranger’s gaze - who is absolutely, definitely, destined for Arwen… right? - Maya finds herself tangled in a story she only half-remembers, and one she may not want to leave.

Summary
Sequel to Frost and Flame.
Loki sits on the Throne of Asgard wearing Odin's face. Most of Asgard is none the wiser, with only a select few privy to the knowledge that their King has been sent away to Midgard. Reagan - the fire-wielding mortal Loki shares a soulbond with - is under the impression that Thor is watching over their father, for his own wellbeing and for the good of Asgard. Loki intends to keep it that way, after all, Hel hath no fury like his mortal.
After the trials they've faced since finding one another, the pair believe themselves to be inseparable. Things are rather blissful. At least, for the time being. But as Reagan begins to learn the lengths Loki is willing go to in order to keep her safe, they find their bond put to the test.

"I swear, I don't think I've ever been this mad at you before," Reagan hissed at him, struggling to keep her flames at bay.
"What about the time I tried to take over New York?" he asked.
There was a beat of silence.
"I'm sorry, is that supposed to be funny?"
Loki just shrugged a little. "Only if you laughed."
