    Summary

    Loki accidentally strips himself of his own immortality and magic and gets stuck in his female form. Banished by Odin for the crime of being mortal, Loki escapes to Midgard. As a condition of staying with the Avengers, Loki is required to attend sessions with Doctor Leonard Samson, psychiatrist.

    Tony discovers what it’s like to be a parent, and Bruce offers to answer Loki’s sex-related questions. Loki hacks JARVIS, discovers new-age religion, fails to learn anything from the Sorcerer Supreme, stumbles into a middle of a supervillain attack she has nothing to do with, and eats lots of yummy Midgardian food.

    Summary

    When two individuals explode out of the heart tree at Winterfell, the Bolton's think it's a blessing from the gods. It certainly is a change in their fortunes. Sansa expected to die the day the Bolton's did after their guest made the ground shake with her fury. Only she didn't, and now she is nominally the one in charge. With no army, no support outside of those men who saw an angry god and decided not to help their liege Lord, and said god is now her terrifying guest.

    Daisy would like to stop being mistaken for a god, and also reiterate flaying innocent people alive is not an acceptable practice. It would help if Fitz would wake up already because she's clearly not going to be able to get them out of the medieval hellscape they're now trapped in. Although Fitz wouldn't be her first choice of companion to be stranded with. And magic ice zombies, because of course there's magic ice zombies.

    Summary

    Being almost sucked soulless by a Dementor not once but twice makes a much greater, scarier impact for Harry. Summer 1995 is the last straw. An escape from it all is the only viable option, it feels. And if, along the way, the deepest desire turns out not to be only a temptation from the Mirror of Erised from long ago? Well, it’s the greatest bonus one can get!

    Summary

    Stephen Strange loves Tony Stark, and he'll do anything to save him (and the world, but mostly him).
    Even if it means dissolving an entire timeline to send his daughter back in time to rewrite Phase Three of the MCU.

    Summary

    Every choice, even the most minute one, has consequences.

    Steve Rogers chose Bucky Barnes over not only Tony Stark, but the rest of the entire world as well, and he stubbornly stuck to his choice well past the point of no return.

    Leaving Siberia behind him with Bucky finally at his side, Steve foolishly thought all the consequences of his choice had been dealt with. He couldn't even begin to fathom the immensity of the butterfly effect that the events of Siberia would have caused. Nobody could know at that time, but from the moment Tony Stark finally woke up in the Avengers Compound's infirmary with Extremis running in his veins, the entire universe would never be the same again.

    Summary

    Sylvie was alone all her life.

    Unloved by her (adoptive) parents.

    Hunted by TVA agents.

    And that black-haired clown came into her life and began to protect her.

    Somewhere at the bottom of her heart she could admit that she was grateful to him.

    Because she's not alone anymore.

    And she definitely won't let Avengers (what a stupid name that is!) hurt her Loki.

    Until Jotunheim gets a visit from Thor, those calling themselves the Avengers, and Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, asking for Loki's help.

    Summary

    A wish has been made to the Norns. One that must be granted. Time and space has been folded to see it fulfilled, but such an act always has consequences. History will be rewritten. Previous events will be lost or molded into an entirely new shape. A new villain will emerge on Earth, one who kills for sport and likes games.

    Will Odin believe in the power of a second chance? Will Thor catch a clue? Will Loki even agree to assist lesser beings?

    There will be humor as well as angst and plenty of opportunities for some to receive the slap upside the head they deserve. The story begins just prior to the conclusion of the fight between the Avengers and the Chitauri but does not start on Midgard.

    Summary

    A second chance. An opportunity to be better. Four heroes—and one sort of hero, but mostly a pain in the ass—are given a chance to go to a world where their counterparts have died and take their place. Their goal? Collect the Infinity Stones, and, maybe, rebuild their lives.

    Oh, who are we kidding? This will be a disaster.

    Summary

    Thor takes a good look at Loki once he has hauled him back onto the quinjet, and realizes that there is something odd about Loki's eyes. Thor has grown and changed much in the last year, and no longer takes anything for granted. So he starts asking questions. It doesn't take long to figure out that Loki is not acting of his own free will.

    Tony Stark knows what it is to be forced to do as an enemy commands. Steve Rogers has seen the atrocities manipulative madmen are willing to commit. Clint, Logan, Bruce and Natasha have been subjected to said madmen. They all know what it is to lose themselves, and to seek redemption.

    Together, this band of broken heroes draws a line in the sand. They will not tolerate any tyrant, foreign or domestic. That includes Nick Fury and the WSC, who have used everyone on the team for their own aims. It includes Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, who has hunted Bruce against all reason. It includes Odin, who treats his sons like commodities. And it includes Thanos, who has delusions of conquering Earth.

    Along the way, they learn to trust each other. They learn to help each other. They become a family.

    Summary

    So Jarvis is the one who pulls her up onto her feet, presses a tool into one hand and a book into the other and tells her to create. Tells her that if the numbers and the shapes and images in her mind hurt so bad then she should build them, should give them form so that they can finally leave her alone.

    Jarvis is the one who finally teaches her how to breathe.

    Or

    Toni Stark grows up with the tale of Icarus swirling in the back of her mind. Instead of taking it as a precautionary tale about hubris and overreaching she decides it's more about the limitations of wax.

    Years later when she builds herself wings of her own she makes sure to build them out of better material.

    Summary

    Barely five minutes into the past and Tony has already taken care of Ultron, thus prevented Sokovia, thus – hopefully – made sure that the Civil War would never happen. All things considered, he was doing pretty well!

    Then he just had to look up his fellow superhero turned time traveller on the internet.

    Summary

    The world keeps pushing him, demanding, because what he did wasn't enough. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, but that wasn't enough, wasn't ever enough.

    Tony Stark was tired. But he had a planet to protect, even if everyone laughed at him whenever the prospect of alien invasions was brought up. He could count on one hand how many people he could trust, which was disheartening but then, what else was new?

     

    Or,

     

    In which Tony does not, in fact, intend to take over the world.

    ...unfortunately, everyone else missed that particular memo.

     

    [gradual divergence from canon, starting at the end of Iron Man 3. In which it's Tony's self-awareness, rather than his support system, that becomes a cryptid sometime during Phase II.]
