Loki decides to become more powerful than Thor by gaining “followers” on Midgard. After spending some time on the realm he has learned the basics of social media, but mastering it and the local culture is taking too long! He decides to hire a minion from the nearby University. That minion is Darcy.
He explains that his mission is to become more popular and powerful than his elder brother using social media, and that they will have near limitless resources at their disposal. He never hides his identity but Darcy (at the beginning) thinks he is simply an eccentric foreginer, who is very into his ‘God of mischief’ persona.
Darcy makes Loki into an internet star via epic prank videos to start with. Then she tells him that he could grow his fan base more if he had some kind of political message or charity that he was supporting.
So Loki, who started all this as part of his sibling rivalry ends up doing some epic amount of good (because he is a god with magic powers who never does anything by halves) without really intending to and it changes him. He becomes all about the cause and forgets why he was here in the first place.
Then Thor comes to take him home for reasons (maybe a battle?) and everyone is like ‘Woah!’ Loki is stupidly powerful all of a sudden from his hundreds of millions of ‘followers’ compared to a few thousand for the rest of the gods.
The Aesir are all forced to eat humble pie.
++The cause would be something close to his heart like LBQT rights/representation, child abuse prevention, sexual assult survivors, etc.
I would love it if somebody wanted to actually write this as a fic, just tag me so I can read and adore it lol ❤
Your soulmate couldn’t lie to you, but they could lie to everyone else and those lies would show up on your skin.
[Loki/Darcy] [Soulmate AU]
Darcy learned to lie from a very young age.
When she was younger, she didn’t understand the strange stories that were scrawled along her skin. She didn’t understand her mother’s insistence on covering her skin or why she told so many tales about it.
“My Darcy, she just gets so cold.”
“She has a little rash, I want to keep it covered.”
“She’s sick. I want her to sweat out her fever.”
She didn’t understand why her mother would say such things. Not until she learned about soulmates. Not until she learned the stories on her skin were lies from her soulmate. Not until she learned that most people didn’t have paragraphs of lies on their skin. Not until she learned that her mother was embarrassed for her.
Her breath hit his face in a white cloud of warmth that quickly dissipated into the chilled air around them.
His own temperature wasn’t helping matters, but Darcy wasn’t shivering, so it wasn’t hurting them either.
Loki moved closer to her, revelling in the warmth as she panted against him, smiling as his arms snuck around her waist to hold her in place. “What is it?” she asked, her grin widening.
“You’re so warm,” he murmured, ducking down to kiss her lips, jolting when his tongue met hers. Hot and smooth, she carressed his softly before breaking off the kiss.
“Are you cold?” she asked. “Colder than usual? Too cold?”
“I’m always too cold,” he said, his voice no more than a whisper. “But I never wanted for warmth until you.”
24.09.18 | Meow Meow the Science Cat: WHAT DAY IS TODAY? IT’S MEOW-MEOW’S BIRTHDAY! WHAT A DAY FOR A BIRTHDAY, LET’S GET ME SOME CAKE!!
Loki: this wretched beast’s entire weight is digging into my thigh.
Darcy: [sleepy grumbles]
Meow-Meow: You’re no sedan chair either, buddy… I mean, MEOW.
I have a headcanon (about my own fictional animal, which I suppose just makes it meow-meow canon ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ) that Loki can perfectly understand what Meow-Meow is saying. Which of course makes him look weird because no-one else does. And, despite the caption, Meow-Meow is just a cat so he doesn’t actually understand what Loki is saying beyond the usual cat perception of ‘make noise = get own way.’
