Ásgarðrian Galdr (ao3) - Valerie_Vancollie
T, 388k (WIP)
Summary: What if Loki was able to warn his past self, so he did not lose control during his regency and was able to act as he normally would? What if he had been able to remain calm and in control of himself, and the situation?
"Betrayal," his future self stated simply, rage clear in every syllable. "But you must control your reaction and come to see me, or you will repeat my mistakes and we will miss an opportunity to take control and alter things in our favor."
It would have changed everything.

Castles in the Air (ao3) - cosmic_medusa
T, 182k
Summary: Loki's first act as King is to collect his banished brother to aid his regency, however brief. Thor discovers that the political landscape is far from what it seemed, and that the lies of Odin have resulted in the threat of both his sons' safety and sanity. Drama, angst, double-crosses, butchering of folklore and history, and the epic bromance of Asgard's Princes ensues.
Changing Fate (ao3) - melWinter

N/R, 495k
Summary: Loki was supposed to go back to Asgard to assume control of the throne after saving Thor on Svartalfheim. He was supposed to be the portent for Ragnarok...too bad fate didn't ask for his opinion. After all, fate didn't plan for Loki to find an abandoned baby elf. Nor did Loki plan to discover how intriguing Jane Foster can be. And what the heck do the Avengers and his trickster of a daughter have to do with any of this?
Loki makes a different choice. But can Loki truly escape the fate that has been his since the beginning? Can the trickster learn to love? With Thanos rising and the infinity war looming, the universe may come to an end if the nine realms can't reconcile with the prince it once rejected. Eventual Jane/Loki. Warning: Loki and Hela snarkiness, Tony cockiness, Thor cluelessness, and random cuteness of Loki dealing with being a dad

Fate's Guardian (ao3) - PeaceHeather
T, 98k
Summary: Set roughly a year post-Thor:TDW, reference to events in Guardians of the Galaxy. Pretty much a shameless fixit fic. No pairings. A being shows up on Earth looking for Loki, the Avengers get pulled in to see what's going on, and they all learn what Loki has *really* been up to all this time. I dunno, I was in a mood to write something like this, so I did. First posted to FFnet, if you prefer to read it there.
Hela's Entertainment (ao3) - melWinter
N/R, 91k
Summary: Hela is not warm and fluffy. Nor is she Loki's daughter. She is a ancient creature, self-titled the Goddess of the Underworld who desperately searches for entertainment. A search that is difficult to find after existing for so long. To amuse herself she will watch the living, and currently she finds the trickster of Asgard highly entertaining.
With her assistance Loki has returned from death to answer one question. But now Odin has died and Thor has abdicated his birthright in favor of Midgard. With the throne now placed at the feet of a still enraged God of Mischief, a man still grieving the loss of his mother, what will happen? Will he leave Thor to Midgard or torment his former brother? Will Sif and the Warriors 3 survive under Loki's thumb? Will he rule wisely...or will he bring about Ragnarok?
