Title: The Second Hand Unwinds
Fandom: Marvel Cinematic Universe (Thor, Avengers)
Pairing/Characters: Loki/Thor
Summary: This isn't a quest. Thor isn't sure what it is, though.
Rating: NC-17
Length: Short (4077 words)
Disclaimer: None of these characters belong to me.
Notes/Warnings: Endgame spoilers, canon character death, bittersweet/ambiguous ending. Fills my 100fandoms table prompt #26 (balm). Title from "Time After Time" by Cyndi Lauper. Not a fix-it because I'm not sure how to fix a lot of this, but I was definitely working through some stuff. Set before Thor's final scene with the Guardians of the Galaxy characters, I guess, but the continuity's a bit wonky. Enjoy?
Excerpt:
There was a Loki out there who had escaped with the Tesseract, years ago. Thor did not know if he made these trips to find the strength to go looking for him, or the strength not to.

Notes/Warnings: Written for this prompt on

cc_feelsmeme. This prompt is almost two years old. I have, accordingly, written the fic like it is two years. So... warnings for nostaglia?
Excerpt: ‘Odd’ being such an expansive term, Tony had honestly expected Jarvis to produce an explanation for Barton’s behavior to the effect of, ‘He only likes to sleep in trees or on the roofs of very tall buildings’ instead of what he eventually found: paperwork.

Spousal paperwork, because apparently SHIELD had stock forms for handler/agent weddings, a notion that, frankly, horrified Tony.

I've been looking at a few fic writing memes recently. It'll be a few months before I break down and do one, most likely, but looking through some of the questions did get me thinking. One question in particular- asking the writer to say which of their fics was most popular or well liked- interested me. When an author writes in multiple fandoms, some larger than others, it gets difficult to judge popularity, because it so obviously has more to do with the popularity of the fandom than the popularity of the fic.

( Contains me counting kudos and generally waxing philosophical; feel free to give it a miss )

In related news- how often does your muse get inspired based on what you're doing that particular day? It's possible that's where the first coffee shop AU came from- but to stay on topic, I took my dog to the vet, which to my brain equaled: "You want to write a veterinarian AU for your current main fandom." Nice going, brain. I needed that.

My Longmire Fics

Title: Happy Anniversary
Fandom: Agents of SHIELD/The Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe)
Pairing/Characters: Clint Barton/Phil Coulson; mentions of Bruce Banner, FitzSimmons and Nick Fury
Summary: Director Coulson tends not to make it to dinner, so Clint brings dinner to him.
Rating: PG
Length: Short (1,157 words)

Notes/Warnings: This was written for the

older_not_dead promptathon 17 prompt "anniversary dinner"
Excerpt: Clint rolled his eyes and put the bag in the machine by the front desk. The machine was way cooler than a metal detector. It was Asgard tech, specifically designed to identify weapons. Forks only got past it some of the time, which puzzled Clint. When it did detect something, the machine started screeching like it was Ragnarok, and since that would pretty much ruin Clint’s evening he had decided to forgo utensils altogether this time around.

Favorite birds of a feather flock together couple:

Not really my thing, I have to say. Take the Marvel universe, for example. I can see where people are coming from, liking Clint/Natasha or Fitzsimmons, but though I don't dislike those pairings, I don't really ship them either. Even if the two characters I ship are ultimately pretty similar, there has to be some kind of balance between strengths and weaknesses for me to like the pairing. Someone who is outgoing and someone who isn't. Someone who takes everything seriously and someone who is a little more carefree. Clint and Natasha are ultimately pretty different, but they still have a very similar core as characters, and that makes it hard for me to see them. Much is made of Fitz and Simmons basically being one person, and I was pretty floored when the show started to push a romantic plotline for them- at least for Fitz. I thought he liked Skye, for one thing, and his relationship with Simmons seemed very brother/sister-y in the beginning. Also, I do much prefer her with Triplet.

Series that you have many ships in:

The Marvel Cinematic Universe counts as a series, right? It totally counts as a series. I have a lot of ships in that. I like quite a few canon couples (I'm enjoying Skye/Ward messiness on Agents of SHIELD immensely, and I love Pepper/Tony lots) but also a lot of non-canon ones. I love Clint Barton/Phil Coulson, even though I don't really get where it came from- I mean, they talk to each other for like two seconds in Thor and that's it, right? (Maybe it's a comics thing. All I know about the comics I know from fanfiction.) I love Loki/Thor and Bucky/Steve too, and I also have a fondness for Steve/Tony. I'll also read Darcy Lewis/most anyone because I love her (but particularly Bruce Banner because it's so perfect).
