Lizardbeth's Tale

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.

Hail of Shadows
Part IV of Understanding the Storm
Characters: Loki, Frigga, Thor, Odin, Sif, Fandral, Hogun, Volstagg, Malekith, Sigyn, Thanos
Rating: R (for some scenes of torture)
Wordcount 57,000 total, 3500 this part

Summary:
Outside the boundaries of the Nine Realms, beyond the protective embrace of the World Serpent, waits a figure of nightmare and shadow, who leaves only death in his wake: Thanos the Eternal. Even as Loki vows to avenge himself on Thanos, dark forces are moving: in snowbound Jotunheim, a warrior is murdered to lay a trap, and in Svartalfheim a mad king makes a terrible alliance. Frigga knows only a united Asgard will withstand the coming storm, even as the fates seem determined to rip them apart.


Author's Note: So here it is, starting exactly 100 days from the release of Thor: The Dark World - aka the movie that will utterly joss this story! Both the Dark Elves and Thanos are in this, but are pretty much entirely a creation of my own brain, since I started this even before the teaser came out. Sigyn is also in this, but in a different take on her role. So, you gotta roll with the changes. :) Many thanks to gaslightgallows for the beta. Everything left over is totally my doing. The story is complete, except for edits and formatting. And yes, this story is much bigger than the ones before, as events in the other Realms impact Asgard, but in its heart it's still Loki and Frigga's story as they continue to deal with the aftermath. I hope you enjoy the journey!

Title: Holding the Light
Author: lizardbeth_j
Artist: glasslogic
Link to art: HERE
Fandom: Avengers/Person of Interest
Wordcount: 40K
Pairing: John Reese/Natasha Romanoff
Characters: Reese, Romanoff, Steve Rogers, Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, a few surprises from the Marvelverse
Rating: R
Warning: sexual situations, violence, language
Disclaimer: not my sandbox

Summary: Coulson recruits a new operative, John Reese. But as John and Natasha struggle to hold onto the light, new bonds form and a new hero rises.

A/N: This is set in an AU of the Person of Interest pilot, so you don't need to know about the show, and set before Avengers. My many thanks to rose_griffes for the beta and to glasslogic for the wonderful art! Also to sabaceanbabe for making me two icons for this story for my birthday - they've been a great inspiration!

Does the Marvel verse have the equivalent of Black Air for the US? A mostly-evil or at least Very Dark Grey spy/asssassination agency? like, a CIA branch, or possibly semi independent or DoD related instead (like Division on Nikita or Checkmate in DC). Doesn't have to be mutant related (like X-Factor wouldn't work, and of course not SHIELD itself, because I need something in opposition to them).

I don't know modern continuity anymore, tbh, though I would have to think all that mutant hunting in recent years would feature Agencies of Questionable Ethics. Basically I'd like to be able to say "Reese was a part of Division" and people like Natasha would know what that means immediately.

anybody?

Series: Understanding the Storm, part 3
Fandom: Avengers/Thor
Characters: Loki, Frigga, Thor, Odin
Rating: PG
Wordcount: total 33,000, this part ~3000
Warnings: implications of self-harm
Continuity: Based exclusively on the movieverse, including the credits easter egg and deleted scenes, especially from Thor. It ignores all comics/myth/unreleased MCU continuity.

Summary: Frigga and Thor battle Loki to save him from himself. Words are Frigga's weapons and love is her strength, and she will not surrender this fight.

Note:This story follows directly after Understanding the Storm (AO3) and Understanding the Storm: Prelude (AO3). You should read those first.

My thanks to hearts_blood for the beta and encouragement!
