Summary
“Loki despaired. Not only was he technically helping Thanos commit genocide on a level never before imagined, he was now passing time on a dead planet in conversation with a Nazi. A stupid Nazi. He immediately lost all interest in the man’s story, and changed the subject.”
Thanos takes Loki up on his offer - and Loki travels with him, to help him collect the stones. A one-short I wrote shortly after watching Avengers: Infinity War.

Summary
On 10 April 1912, Dorian Gray boarded a ship in Southampton, bound for France, Ireland, and then New York. RMS Titanic.
Trying to write in the style of the show as much as possible - this episode features an illicit affair, a cursed diamond, a sinking ship, and - if I make it that far - an extremely hot priest.

Summary
Major Endgame spoilers ahead
*****
What happens in the 2012 timeline, stays in the 2012 timeline. Loki has the Tesseract, Steve has been told Bucky is alive, and HYDRA think Steve is one of them. Press play.
Planning for this to be a vehicle for giving characters time and space to process things, and more dumb spacetime nonsense.

Summary
Recently found this, written I think in 2013. The Marauders transposed to a British university, an initial chapter that I never worked on so it doesn't really go anywhere but I wanted to post it anyway. Remus/Sirius and Remus/Tonks. It's about British first years so obviously a bit of a mess.

Summary
1984 au, starring Steve Rogers as Winston Smith.
--
Before Steve even put pen to paper, he was dead.
Not literally, of course, although with his growing list of ailments, it surely couldn't be long. But he was as good as dead, once he'd decided to keep the diary. He'd committed the worst of all crimes, the essential crime in which all other crime was contained: thoughtcrime.
"The chocolate ration was 30 yesterday," he wrote. "Today, it was raised to 25."
He looked at that for a while, trying to believe it. Doublethink. If only he could do that, if only he could really believe the ration had gone up, then he'd be happy. But he couldn't.

Summary
It is entirely possible for Loki to be redeemed in Asgard’s eyes almost instantly, if he plays his cards right. (He won't, of course, but this is how he quite easily could.)

Summary
"In the aftermath of the battle I went into the temple, and I found a baby. Small, for a giant’s offspring. Abandoned, suffering, left to die. Laufey’s son."
There is more to this story than you might think. This is the story of Farbauti - the best of Loki's fathers - in the final days of the war.

Summary
Let me tell you about Crawly. He says he wants to work with humans - he gets himself a job pissing about on earth, tempting and wiling and getting drunk and generally having a time of it, only filing reports every other century and spending half the time asleep. I want to work with humans - oh, I get to make deals. What that boils down to is a whole lifetime of being the genie-of-the-lamp for the Idiot Human Of The Week, and at the end of the day I’ve got one soul, one commendation and one massive grudge against lazy sods like Crawly. Or Crowley, as he’s calling himself now, the git.
