Thor/Loki Rec <3

Chaos War - Thor/Loki [Rated Explicit] by [livejournal.com profile] astolat.

Yeah, I’m late to the party on this one. So late, in fact, that the dip has soured and all the balloons have deflated, and I’m stuck with the last piece of shit cake bathed in candlewax frosting.

But even if just *one* person follows this rec, well then, mission fucking accomplished.
I can’t say enough about Astolat’s writing. I’ve followed Ast through a number of fandoms, and the writing is always top-notch, the storytelling amazing. Always a great deal of thought and care in the planning. All of the voices are spot on, but it's Loki’s characterisation that makes me weep with utter joy. I’m drawing so many hearts around this, in as many shades as I can. All the best Crayola flavours. New to Avengers and Thor/Loki and don’t know where to start? I’m at the fork in the road pointing you here.

Oh my goodness, yes, it'll be if much use! Thanks for the link, darling ♥

It's the fic that ruined me for all others, tbh. But, yes, OMG, the Loki characterisation. <333

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:45 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, I think it may have ruined me for all others as well. We can be ruined together <3

I kind of wish I could unread that fic and read it again all shiny and new, because, oh, her Loki is just amazing.

Her Loki is pretty fucking amazing. It's too bad good stories like this can't be unread, but we can pass the shiny on to others at the very least, y/y?

[identity profile] amanuensis1.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Possibly my favorite piece of fanfiction in, what. Five years? That's probaby fair. And that was even before I fell into Avengers fandom.

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Definitely my fave piece of Avengers fanfiction thus far.

[identity profile] tracy7307.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
I have a giant Avengers boner. No joke. Huge.

Will read this rec, bb <3

Also come over on Sat 6/2 at 630 for beer/pizza/girl's night. Amy and Ruth will be here at least :D *smish*

*shares in the joyful glee*

How are you doing, m'dear?

[identity profile] ariadneelda.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
I already have this and another couple of Astolat's fics bookmarked. I guess I should start with this one. :)

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:54 pm (UTC)(link)
As Rane said above, I think this fic ruined me for all other Thor/Loki fics. Definitely start with this one.

Man, I want assignment-marking to be over NOW.

Make reading this your reward for assignment marking, Meggie :))))

[identity profile] lolafeist.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
that was the first Thor/Loki fic I read and omfg

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:56 pm (UTC)(link)
IKR???

[identity profile] carolinelamb.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 10:22 am (UTC)(link)
HA! I just read this one a few days ago! I also adore Astolat! It's great to see so many recs pop up on my Flist. I was very reluctant about Thor/Loki in the beginning (I read/wrote Lucius/Draco with great passion but had "problems" with Thor/Loki ... O.o ... no idea why!) but fortunately my reluctance was cured by Astolat (and HummingbirdMoth, K_dAzrael et al ...)

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
HummingBirdMoth is next on my list methinks.

Problems with pseudo-incest? Why do you think that was?

[identity profile] carolinelamb.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
Really, I have NO idea! I couldn't read anything with this pairing prior to The Avengers, so I missed all the Thor/Loki fic when it came out right after Thor.

It may be because I don't find Hemsworth particularly interesting–I mean I find him very goodlooking and blond and gorgeous ... but somehow he doesn't resonate with me as much as Barton/Jeremy renner does (although Hemsworth is definitely the better looking one!) ...

I only got around to it, because I initially liked Barton/Loki (Can you guess, that my favourite HP pairing is Sirius/Severus and Lucius/Severus? Dysfunctional Pairing, thine name be Caro ... O.o) ... only the fics that I've read so far, despite all being brilliantly written, don't really scratch my personal itch.

Then I somehow fell into Hummingbirdmoth's Thor/Loki fics and I fell in love!

I think Hummingbirdmoth and Astolat are going to be my Fabula Rasa of the Avengers Fandom ...

[identity profile] tarotemp.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 10:58 am (UTC)(link)
Chaos War was also my way of dipping my toe into the Thor/Loki fandom. It's one of those fics will definitely stand the test of time..<3

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I have it bookmarked for a second reading once I've met my fill. *G*

[identity profile] huntress1013.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 02:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey it is okay to be late to the party =). I certainly did not know that Astolat now also writes Marvel (movieverse) and I haven't read any Thor/Loki yet (mostly stuck with Bruce/Tony to be honest. Thank you for the rec. That was a great story!

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Astolat has written a few Thor/Loki fics, and from what I understand, they are all wonderful.

Have any Bruce/Tony recs to share? *G*

[identity profile] huntress1013.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course I do :g:

http://huntress1013.livejournal.com/587383.html

I will also rec Steve/Tony. I read alot of that in the last couple of days.

[identity profile] mieronna.livejournal.com 2012-05-24 05:20 pm (UTC)(link)
I read all of Astolat's Avengers stuff only last week and I'm already itching for a second round. So Good!

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I now have a shit-tonne of other Thor/Loki links if you are interested, hon.

[identity profile] mieronna.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Interested? Do you even need to ask? :D

Though I admit, I'm all over Tony/Loki right now.I think that and Thor/Loki are gonna be my two pairings. I always had to have two pairings. Less, and the dynamics get boring quickly, more and I'm stretched too thin.
I've read some many fics these past two weeks, I'm already starting to lose track of them, mixing up plots and forgetting key points. Ah, the first weeks of a new fandom. Good times.

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm assuming you saw that post Rex made? She had all sorts of Loki pairings listed.

Have you seen this? (http://savekeating.livejournal.com/1109.html)

[identity profile] mieronna.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Hi Tony!

And yes, I have. Excellent taste as always!

[identity profile] symetric.livejournal.com 2012-05-25 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
oh man, I ADORE THIS FIC. gotta agree with someone above, first Thor/Loki fic i read and it blew me away. <3

[identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com 2012-05-26 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
It blew me away as well. It's destined to become my favourite I'm sure :))))
