Lizardbeth's Tale

Title: The Ice Demon and the Hydra
Author: lizardbeth_j
Characters: Loki, Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, Peggy Carter, Col Phillips, Thor, Frigga, the Howling Commandos (minor Steve/Peggy)
Rating: PG
Wordcount: 50K
Continuity: AU to Captain America:The First Avenger
Series: The Ice Demon Series, The Snow Queen and the Ice Demon and The Ice Demon and the Snow Princess. They take place 150 years earlier, as a crossover with Frozen. They aren't necessary, but certainly useful for backstory and explanation for this particular 'verse.

Summary: More than a century ago, a Snow Queen melted the heart of the Ice Demon. When Arendelle is invaded, Loki vows to keep his promise to her, to protect their people. But these mortals are not as ignorant as he remembers, especially not his new enemy Johann Schmidt. What begins as an attempt to protect a small kingdom becomes a more important quest to protect the world from the evils of the Red Skull. But at least, he doesn't have to do it alone.

Notes and Acknowledgments: Because this runs parallel to First Avenger, I do obviously lean on the movie pretty heavily, including a few lines here and there. This story is, in essence, What if Loki joined the Howling Commandos? Note however that while Steve and Company are pretty much the same, Loki's point of divergence is long ago (as detailed in the previous Ice Demon tales), so he's quite a bit different.

Thanks to gaslightgallows and rayniskies who undertook beta, even under pretty trying circumstances, and to enknowen for the beautiful cover page -- see here at AO3.

Title: The Wrong Door
Pairing: Loki/Sif
Rating: PG/Teen
Words: 1800

Summary: Sif takes a wrong turn, knocks on the wrong door, finds... someone maybe right?

NOTE: From a list of shippy AU tropes, the prompt: Loki/Sif, knocking on the wrong door au. Because I'm avoiding writing a combat scene in the longfic, have the start of something with way fewer weapons...

In which I write fanfic of my own story, I guess? or fill in a gap, at least. Since i always felt sorry that I skipped over that whole aftermath to get to the epilogue. FYI, this doesn't stand on its own, at all, only in the context of the larger fic.

Posted my NPT Ficathon fic which so far is having a decent reception even if I haven't heard anything from the recipient. Luckily this being a fairly big fandom it's not dependent on the recipient for acknowledgment (but oh, would I be pissed if this happened at Yuletide). I've always been lucky enough to get something from the recipient (and may yet, it's only been a few days) so hopefully that trend continues. Author reveals in a couple of days.

Also posted Suddenly I see making my previous Loki/Sif Music AU a series, but this is a prequel, all Teen Angst where it's pining, love-triangle fluff. I don't even know who I am anymore. :) I always wonder with Very DIfferent AUs whether I shouldn't just Original Fic it. It wouldn't be too hard with this 'verse - screwed up families and musicians work together.

I also got a lovely comment from an anon who bookmarked "Not all that we are" back in 2008 and was quite happy that it was actually finished! woot!

Camp NaNo is so far kind of blah so far - I spent the first week finishing up the ficathon and have spent the last few days getting things ready to post instead of writing anything, which is SOOO not what's supposed to be happening. On the plus side, I got an idea for a new resolution to Crocus, if I can get it to work.

Back to trying to try to tie up some of these other short fics!

Kick off the moss
MCU - AU
Loki/Sif
Rated M

Summmary: Sif returns from business trip, to find Loki down because his music's not turning out. Really, sometimes he needs a keeper.

Note: Fluffy Rock Star AU. And a bit of Adam from only lovers left alive. Because Adam.
