Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Summary
Wei Wuxian has been haunting his childhood home for three years. He's perfected the fine art of scaring away all the tenants, and has grown used to living with the dying flowers in the garden as his only company.
When Lan Wangji buys the house, Wei Wuxian fully intends to drive him off too. Except Lan Wangji is beautiful, and interesting, and captivating company - even if he supposedly doesn't know Wei Wuxian exists.

Summary
“Your parents do realize I am a grown man and not, in fact, a college bachelor in need of feeding, right?” Shuuichi asks, cradling the rice like it’s a child and politely ignoring the strange emotional acrobatics Natsume’s face performs on the word parents. “I can and do feed myself. On a daily basis, even.”
Natsume stares at him, unreadable. Natsume’s monster cat peeks over his shoulder, ears flat and judgmental. Even Hiiragi, lurking in the kitchen, levels him with her unblinking one-eyed stare.

[Focuses on Clint and Loki, not slash in the least. Mentions of all of the Avengers and some Guardians and Defenders, I only tagged characters who got more than a line.]

Summary
Loki is her consolation prize.
He is the last thing she expects when her husband returns from his wars, reeking of blood and unwashed leather, but the paternal instinct can soften even the most battle-hardened warrior. As he stands before her, clasping the Jotun-blue baby in his arms, the mighty All-Father looks as anxious as a mother cat trying to nurse a duckling.Frigga puts out her hands, accepts him for what he is: a replacement for the son Odin has claimed as his own. A prize, looted from the battlefield by the All-Father himself.
She looks down at the squalling, alien child, already made fretful by the heat of the room, and thinks: yes. This one will be mine.

Shelter from the Cold by CatKing_Catkin
Fandoms: Thor - All Media Types, Thor (Comics), Journey into Mystery
29 Jul 2014
Tags
Summary
(Takes place post "The Mighty Thor #12 - Shattered Heroes" and pre-"New Mutants #1 - Exile")
Loki is not used to being taken care of. He is a child, but most of Asgardia seems to ignore that and he tries to forget it as often as possible. He's forced to take care of himself, more often than not, because he has too many enemies even within the walls of Asgardia who would seize upon a moment of weakness to weaken him further. Loki cannot afford to seem the child that he is.
So when he falls deathly ill, Loki does not expect to be picked up off the floor of his room by Thor when his brother returns to Asgardia. He does not expect to be brought to Volstagg's house for safekeeping while he recovers, and he certainly does not expect the care and aid he receives in recovering from a man who last told him to stay away.
All of these things happen, however, impossible as they seem. For perhaps the first time in his reborn life, Loki knows what it is to be taken care of. It can't possibly last, but he can learn to enjoy it while it does.

Summary
For my own prompt at Norsekink:
[Gen] Loki and Odin, "No you can't have his head" H/C
I just found a version of the lip-sewing story in which the dwarf demands Loki's head AND ODIN REFUSES. Comes right out and says, "No, that's crazy, ask for something else."The dwarf then tries to insist and kick up a fuss, and that is when Loki uses his loophole, and also when, to placate the dwarf, the Aesir agree to the lip-sewing.
I'd like to see this, and then later Odin going to Loki with his godly manicure scissors and cutting the stitches loose while giving Loki six kinds of worried-dad hell along the lines of "you're going to be the death of me, don't ever do anything like that again, and by the way thank you for the wonderful spear."

“This wasn’t me, you know,” Crowley says, the words out of his mouth before he’s made the conscious choice to utter them. “Not just the library, but the whole civil war. You know me; I’ve mostly been getting drunk at Bacchanals.”
“I know,” says Aziraphale.

Summary
The books dig into his chair, and he leans his head back, eyes fluttering closed. When he breathes, it smells like the crisp air of the forest, and he thinks he should leave, or at the very least worry that this is not what he thinks, that maybe it’s the coffin, pushing back -
Instead he licks his lips and says: “Martin?”
There’s no answer, but the bookcase moves again, and for a few seconds he is utterly trapped, the desk digging into his stomach; it’s painful, it’s heavy, and he loses his breath - but these days, it’s as close as he gets to an embrace.
