The blond grumbled at hearing the melody of his beloved’s cell phone. She pinched his arm in the attempt to get him to roll off of her so she could reach the phone. Unfortunately, Thor didn’t but he grabbed the object and dropped it within Jane’s reach.
“Hello?” Jane asked.
The burst of noise fully woke Thor and Jane up. The woman’s eyes were wide and she passed the phone to Thor after putting it on speaker.
“Hello?”
His brother’s voice came through the device, “I swear I didn’t mean to. We were just talking and then she…and then she…”
Thor sat up, “Brother, what has happened?”
“I broke Darcy!” Loki wailed.
“Brother, you are not making sense. It has been a long time since you have been with a woman but that would not have broken your beloved.” Thor stared at Jane with wide eyes. The woman shrugged and mouthed, “it’s possible.”
“It’s not that. She found it mind-blowingly enjoyable.”
“Then why do you think you broke Darcy?” Thor asked.
“She’s not moving! Part way through our conversation she froze and her eyes went glassy!”
Jane mouthed, “what did he say?”
“What did you say before she did that?” Thor asked.
“I…uh, mentioned feeling a magic flutter in her womb.”
Jane let loose a squeal of delight and then jumped to her feet.
Thor stared at the device stupefied before beaming, “I’m an uncle?”
“Yes, you big oaf!” There was a clatter on the other end before a feminine shriek of indignation. “Darcy, love, you don’t want to do that.”
“You, get dressed. Loki broke Darcy’s brain and I need muscles to keep those two apart long enough for a pregnancy test to work.” Jane said and tossed a pair of jeans on the bed.
Thor grinned and obeyed. Silently he wondered if his brother’s blessing would soon become his own when Jane saw her friend swollen with child.
He had been determined not to like her. He was usually determined not to like people, and it was easy for him. He always prefered to be alone, and this smalltown in Maine offered the chance for him to hide in plain sight. He might be an infamous actor in a different country, but Americans did not exactly bingewatch Scandinavian TV.
He had been prepared to live a somewhat quiet life, if it wasn’t for the girl living next door. He had told his Assisstant back home to buy him a house – and she had ended up buying him half of one. Semi-detached buildings were one of the stupidest invention mankind had ever come up with, in his opinion.
And for the very fact that she dared to live next to him, he was determined to dislike her. He didn’t even need to see her for that. That was, until one evening, he heard her.
Loki froze in his tracks when a beautiful rendition of “Peer Gynt’s” Act I for the piano carried through the thin wall between their house-parts. Loki sat infront of his own door and listened with eyes closed for a good hour. He didn’t want to, but he found himself regretting when the first Act was over and the music didn’t continue.
Act II followed the same time the next day, and Loki found himself planning his days around the hour of music from next door. They were the only light moments in otherwise dark days.
And then one night, after an angry phone-call from his so-called brother lead to him emptying three bottles of wine on his own, Loki slipped a note through under the door. A request for a particular song. And a few minutes later, the girl next door delivered.
It was the start of something very strange, but also strangely magical.
Meow-Meow was born the smallest and greyest of a litter of 5. His parents were farm cats for Tom and Millie Santos, an elderly couple living in rural New Mexico. Life was pretty good back then. But when Millie died, Tom couldn’t take care of himself on his own, never mind seven cats, and moved to Santa Fe to live with his son and daughter-in-law. They took all the cats they could find with them, finding them new and loving homes elsewhere. But Meow-Meow was only little and found change very scary and hid under the house the whole time. Tom didn’t know where he was, and Meow-Meow wouldn’t come when called. So eventually they had to leave him behind 😦
They sold the house to a guy from LA who wanted to convert the big old disused missile silo out back into an underground apartment complex. So soon there was an influx of construction workers and machinery that scared Meow-Meow even more. He was still living under the house, or in the attic, where people couldn’t reach, eating the moths and bats and mice. This guy who brought all the noisy, thumpy machines only got so far when the housing bubble burst and the whole place was left alone. So by the time Meow-Meow was an adult cat, he was pretty used to being alone. It was okay, not great. There were no ear-scritches, or boob cuddles.
But after a while a new set of thumpy, noisy humans arrived, with their own set of machines, and filled out the house again. They weren’t so bad as the construction humans but they weren’t turning it back into a farm like Tom and Millie.
One night there was a big thunderstorm and Meow-Meow had to run back to the house to hide under the porch. Which is scary enough anyway – double scary when there’s a big big big human sitting on the porch swing watching the storm with a beard and a grin on his face. This one has the heaviest footsteps of all and Meow-Meow listens to them clumping back inside.
“There is an animal residing under our porch,” Thor announced, pointing a finger downwards.
“Aww, it’s probably scared by the storm,” cooed Darcy, while Jane went with a suspicious “what kind of animal? You want raccoons? This is how you get raccoons.”
“Small, four-legged, and fast. Dark grey.”
“We’re gonna need more than that, buddy,” Darcy prompted.
“Hmm, well, its face had the appearance of having collided with a very steep hillside.”
Darcy and Jane figure that is a cat but that there’s no point trying to coax it out when all it wants to do is hide.
In the morning the storm is gone and Meow-Meow pokes his head out from under the house. It’s a bright sunny morning, with a light breeze, and a bowl of tuna fish sitting just by the steps. He hasn’t had tuna for ages and ages!! So he gobbles it all up and when he turns around there’s another human on the porch. Not a big scary one this time. A smaller one, with dark-hair, who makes kissy noises and looks like she’d be really good at boob cuddles and ear-scritches. He’s very tentative at first but Darcy gives the best boob cuddles.
He gets a bath (!), some more cuddles, more food, a trip to the vet (!!) and then brought back to the house. Inside the house, not under it, where Darcy has Meow-Meow’s very own cat-bed lined up next to hers. And a food dish, and a scratch post, and lots of boxes, and lots of things that light up and go beep. He becomes Darcy’s cat, and she becomes Meow-Meow’s human.
Jane is fine. She isn’t so good at cuddles as Darcy, but she lets Meow-Meow sleep on the machines that get warm. It takes him a while to get used to Thor. After all, Meow-Meow is just a small creature and Thor is probably the biggest creature Meow-Meow’s ever seen, and he once saw a coyote!
So that’s how Meow-Meow came with the lab and became an indoor cat, science intern and beloved pet. He still likes to eat moths though. They’re crunchy.
“With or without training wheels?” Darcy asked as she brought out a bottle of Stark’s best tequila.
Loki shrugged behind her, eyeing the rise of her skirt as she stood on tiptoe to reach the shot glasses on the shelf behind the bar. “Training wheels? I do not take your meaning.”
Darcy glanced at him as she placed the glasses down on the counter. “Salt and lemon to make the tequila go down easier. Some use them and some don’t.”
“I’ve never needed anything like that before now, so I’ll pass on the training wheels.”
He watched as she poured the shots and handed him his glass. His left eyebrow quirked a bit when she licked the top of her hand and poured some salt on it.
“You know, Darcy, if a simple lick was all you needed I’d have been pleased to assist.”
He had to resist a laugh when she shot him a half-disgruntled, half-aroused look.
“You, sir, can keep your magical tongue exactly where it is!” She reached across the counter to grab a lemon wedge from the bowl Tony kept there and dropped it next to her glass.
“Magical, is it? Last night it was also amazing, fantastical and what was it you said? Oh yes, your second favorite organ of mine.”
Darcy turned bright red. “Loki!” She hissed, glancing around to make sure they were still alone in the living room. She wasn’t embarrassed by their relationship, far from it, but everyone didn’t need to be privy to all the details.
“Your words, darling, not mine. And you certainly weren’t shy about using them last night.” He raised his glass, “Shall we?”
She shook her head with a smile. This semi-reformed villain of hers kept her on her toes for sure in both word and deed. And she enjoyed every moment.
Picking up her shot of tequila she toasted in his direction.
“To us,” she said before licking the salt off her hand, knocking back the tequila and stuffing the lemon wedge into her mouth.
“To us,” he repeated, taking his own shot and watching her with amusement. Darcy smiled then, a wide, lemon filled smile that made him laugh.
He leaned down and kissed her on the nose. “Don’t ever change, Darcy.”
So I started this little thing a month or so ago, but I just have no idea where to take it, so I am offering it up to al my Tasertricks friends if they want to continue it, be inspired by it or whatever. 🙂 @soothsayerstale@concavepatterns@howdidthisevenhappenanyway and anyone else interested…
<i>I wonder if you care, I wonder if you still remember, Once upon a time, In your wildest dreams.</i>
~The Moody Blues~
Exhausted from all the science Jane, Dr. Banner and Stark got into, Darcy Lewis quickly showered, brushed her teeth and slipped on a pair of panties and oversized t-shirt. Crawling between freshly washed sheets, she settled herself quickly with a sigh and closed her eyes. Tomorrow Team Study Everything would keep her hopping once again, and Lab Assistant Lewis needed all the energy she could get to keep them in line, focused, and fed. Tonight she just wanted to sleep.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Darcy woke it was to the feel of a soft blanket beneath her, the smell of fresh grass, and the warmth of the sun. Blinking her eyes against the light she sat up only to realize she was now wearing a green sundress stitched together with golden thread. With one hand she smoothed down the dress, while taking in her surroundings.
“What the…” she muttered as the meadow around her seemed impossibly beautiful and odd and familiar all once.
Darcy stood, noting a large shade tree a small ways from her. For a moment she stilled, then memories came rushing back to her. She’d been here before. So many times. She knew this meadow, that tree, and the green of her dress.
This was the place where she dreamed of a god named Loki.
Sometime after her eighteenth birthday she began to dream of him. At first it was longing glances and sighs. Visions that lasted mere minutes. As months passed, Darcy and Loki became closer and the attraction between them clearer. He’d kissed her for the first time beneath that same tree and she remembered clearly how the world spin off its axis.
Eventually her dreams with Loki developed into so much more than friendship. There were secrets shared, kisses exchanged and touches that left her aching and unfulfilled upon waking. And then one day, he was gone. The dreams stopped and Darcy never felt more cold and alone than she did in the months that followed.
She thought about him even now, almost two years after the last time she saw him. She wondered daily if he was okay, wondered even more if he was real.
As if conjured by her thoughts, a blueish light appeared beneath tree. The shape of a man began to form and she knew it was him by the tilt of his head as looked at her. Before she could register her actions Darcy ran and threw herself at him, wrapping her legs about his waist and her arms around his neck.
He held her tightly, shifting from his armor into clothing more suitable for this meeting. Darcy raised her head to look at him. He was exactly as she remembered, almost a full head taller than her, with black hair, devilish green eyes and killer cheekbones. His long, lean body felt like home.
“Loki! What the hell?” she questioned, lifting her head to look in his eyes.
The smile he gave her was genuine in its affection though there were telltale signs of stress and exhaustion around his eyes.
“I am sorry for disappearing, Darcy,” he replied quietly, though he offered no explanation for why these shared dreams stopped over a year ago. “It was not by choice, I assure you.
Darcy loosened her hold and he let her slide down him slowly until her feet were on the ground. She hitched her breath, feeling the swell of arousal pressing against her belly. In dreams prior he’d made no secret about wanting her but it never went further than heated kisses and heavy petting. But this felt weirdly real and more intense than ever before.
Heat flared between them and Loki raised shaking hands to frame her face. “You are as beautiful as I remember,” he whispered before lowering his head and claiming her mouth.
That felt more real too; the heat of his mouth, the way his tongue teased her bottom lip. She wanted to deepen it, lose herself in it, but common sense and curiosity were still clinging to the outskirts of her mind like a stubborn wad of gum so she drew back, reluctant and a little out of breath, to ask, “Is this…It feels different than before. Are you really here? Am I even here?”
Loki chuckled. “I’m afraid the answer to that is far more complicated than the question.”
“But you are back, right?” Please tell me this isn’t only a trick my mind’s playing on me is what she wanted to say, but Darcy swallowed down that plea with a tiny, aching lump.
Loki’s whole demeanor seemed to shift and ease at that, like slow-melting butter as his eyes softened even further, the last signs of stress sliding from the hard set of his shoulders. He looked vulnerable. Trusting. The sight made something flutter warmly in Darcy’s chest.
Bringing a hand to her neck, his fingers brushed the curve of her jaw, forehead tipping down to rest against hers as he promised, “I am.”
“Will you tell me?” She asked, taking his hand and leading him back to the blanket. “Will you tell me where you’ve been?” She repeated as they settled on the ground.
Not wanting to break the physical connection between them, Loki pulled her in front of him so that she rested between his powerful thighs her back to his front.
“It is a long story, Darcy, and a difficult one,” he replied seriously, wrapping his arms about her and burying his face in her shoulder. His Darcy radiated warmth and light and he could not seem to get close enough.
“I don’t know about you, but I’ve got nothing else going on right now.” She said it lightly, wanting to alleviate a little of the sadness just beneath the surface.
When he didn’t answer she turned her head, forcing him test her eyes. “Please, Loki. I worried about you. So much that I thought I made you up. But you’re here and you’re real, and I need to know why you weren’t for so long.”
Loki swallowed thickly, surprised and yet not at all surprised at how this slip of a woman affected him. So he told her. He told her the things he’d seen and learned. He told her the choices he made and the terrible things he was made to do.
And he held her, helplessly, while she cried for him. For all his pain and suffering, she shed tears.
Then Darcy wiped her face and turned around, kneeling between his legs. “Why didn’t you come to me for help? I could have helped you!”
“Sweet girl,“he said, letting his hands frame the face that had saved him through many sleepless nights, "It was my journey, and my duty to keep you safe. Coming to you would placed you in grave danger. I could not have borne such a thing.”
“But…” She tried to say but Loki only shook his head and shifted them so she was cuddled against his chest once more.
“You were my light in the darkest moments, never doubt your worth to me.”
He kissed her then, slowly, sweetly, melting her heart.
Hours later they lay in the grass, clothing scattered around them and Darcy rested her head on Loki’s chest.
“Loki?” She questioned, fingers drawing a lazy pattern across his chest.
“Yes?” He shifted, pulling her closer.
“I know we can’t stay in this meadow forever but when will I see you again?”
His lips curved in a smile. “Sooner than you know, Darcy.”
****and that is about as far as that can go.****
@concavepatterns I love that you jumped on board with this!!! So much so that I read your part at work, then had to wait All day do come home and finish it!! I always have the tasertricks feels from your writing! Thank you for playing along!! ❤😍
Darcy was the one who initiated it. She was kissing him before she could stop herself. And once she had stopped herself, the damage had already been done.
“Oh my blob…I’m so sorry…” She wiped her mouth and looked around for an escape, an exit. Didn’t even have to be good or make sense. She just wanted out of this lab and out of this planet.
Loki reached up to touch his lips, to touch the place she’d kissed him. “Why are you apologizing?” He tilted his head quizzically. “Was it an accident?”
“Yes! Yes, I didn’t mean–”
“Did you mean for your lips to touch me somewhere else? My cheek? My throat, perhaps?” he asked, his tone silky-smooth and doing things to her.
She shook her head, “I just meant…I don’t want this to be weird.”
“The only one who’s making it weird is you…” He took a step towards her, wrapping his arm around her back. His hand came up to cup her chin as he sealed his mouth on hers.
This scene is so like fic!Thor & Loki and I’m thrilled.
The eye roll in the bottom gif! Loki is all “Really? This again, brother? As if hero worship of yourself on Asgard wasn’t enough, now you indulge these dull Midgardian creatures, too?”
It’s okay Loki, I’d pick you over Thor any day!!
And the way he watches her walk away after she bumps into him? In like every tasertricks fic ever written AND I LOVE IT.
Okay Tasertricks:
Darcy caught a glimpse of Thor posing on a street corner with some fans while she was making a coffee run for Jane and Tony. Even though she knew she’d see him later she made her way over to say hello. He was happy to see her though something in his strained smile alerted her to the fact that something important was happening. She took this as a cue to excuse herself.
Taking a few steps back she bumped into a solid, immovable mass. She turned, coming face to face with Thor’s presumed dead brother.
He eyed her coolly, silently as though waiting to see what she would do.
“You’re supposed to be dead,” she said calmly as if she were discussing the weather.
“Disappointed?” He asked, holding up a hand to stave off Thor’s interruption. He wanted to hear what the vibrant young friend of Thor had to say.
“Fascinated, actually,” she returned with an amused smile. “I like the suit, too.”
Darcy’s cell phone beeped and she pulled it from her jacket pocket to see who text her.
“Oops, gotta run, science needs coffee…pronto. See ya around, Thor,” she called to the blond Asgardian.
Grinning cheekily at Loki, she winked and said “I hope to see more of you, Mischief.”
They watched her go and Thor was bemused by her laid back approach to Loki, especially knowing how the others might react to having him back.
Loki watched the sway of her hips and found himself more than a little turned on by the flirtatious little mortal. Perhaps there was something worth seeking in Midgard after all.
I fucking love you so much right now
“Fucking genius can punch a hole in space but can’t even fix her own coffee machine without blowing it up.” Darcy grumbled as she shuffled along with a tray of enough piping hot coffees to stave off Jane’s addiction for the foreseeable future. Darcy blanched at the scientist’s penchant for either burning hot or cold and old coffee but it helped her work so Darcy was happy to oblige. It also meant she didn’t need to face the crowded streets of New York as often.
“Son of a Bitch.” she said as she bumped into a rock hard wall of muscle and premium wool suit.
“SORRY!” she squeeked as the man turned around and Darcy realised just who owned the gorgeous suit she’d just annihilated with Jane’s coffee. “Oh. actually I’m not..sorry.” she said, proud she hadn’t lost her sass in the face of– holy Moses Thor’s brother was hot. She looked around and spotted Thor goofing around with two teenage girls and taking selfies. out of the corner of her eye she saw Loki pull a massive eye roll and snorted.
Thor was such a ho. “How long have you been in New York?” she asked and Loki raised his eyebrows.
“Uh, Three Midgardian Days” He answered, bemused.
“What? Fucking. SON OF A BITCH!” Darcy said, louder this time and handed her frappacino to out to Loki before she deposited the remaining coffee over THOR’S head.
the two teenagers backed away, more scared of Darcy than the two gods. “You better go and see Jane this instant or you are going to be in a world of pain you fucking jerk!”
she grabbed his arm and towed him towards the lab.
Loki watched, a little awed as Thor allowed himself to be pushed, poked and brow beaten all the way to his paramour’s abode, apologising and making weak excuses. it was almost worth the delay this would bring to their mission.
as the beautiful girl turned and said, “You too asshole.” Loki had to admit that his time on Midgard might not be without fun after all.
Darcy watched, amused while Jane read Thor the riot act in the lab. As they were on the far side she couldn’t hear much but certain words lingered in the air such as Three days!, Loki!, and Damn It! She snickered more than once at how Thor still had coffee dripping slowly down his face.
Loki stood to her left, hands in the pockets of his fitted black trousers, a small smirk on his face. She turned to face him and tipped her head back so she could meet his eyes. And Damn, weren’t they a magnificent shade of green?
“So what are you guys doing lurking about New York anyway?” She wanted to know what had kept Thor from seeing Jane.
“Looking for Odin.” His reply was short and to the point, though the way he watched her suggested there was something else on his mind.
“You lost the King of Asgard? Dude, that’s hilarious. How did that even happen anyway?” She laughed almost delightedly, given the way Thor’s daddy had treated Jane when she won Asgard. Served the old goat right, in her opinion.
“Does it matter?” Loki raised an eyebrow at her, more attracted than he wished to admit to this woman.
“I suppose not, but tell me why, given recent history you want to find him. I’d have thought you would be happy he was gone?”
“Do you question everyone in this manner?” He asked amused and annoyed by turns wit her.
“As a rule, yes.” She replied without hesitation.
“If I answer,” he leaned down so their faces were mere inches apart, “What will you give me in return?”
Darcy mentally swore. Did he just…? Oh, yes, he did. And Darcy knew what she should do. Trouble was, how often did one get propositioned by a darkly handsome god?
Reaching out a hand she grabbed him by the tie, “Come on, Mischief, I think this conversation needs a bit more privacy.”
Loki grinned wickedly as he trailed willingly behind her. Oh yes, he’d see that they both got what they desired.
Loki watched the girl -Darcy’s almost instant reaction to his flirtations. it had been a while since he’d had any easy banter with anyone truly worthy and he was rather enjoying himself. Seeing Thor get thoroughly dressed down by not one but two tiny mortal women had made his century -that really spoke to the quality of his last hundred years or so but now was not the time to dwell on that.
He almost started as the girl reached out and grabbed his tie, the mortal neck adornment that made little sense but rounded out the attire called a ‘suit’. it was a surprise to be touched in such a way by one so fragile and he felt his cock stir even as he schooled his reaction to his usual slight amusement.
He allowed the girl to lead him away, tramping down on his body’s reaction. there was little chance of anything truly exciting happening today, the girl probably been aware that the couple in the room had been inching closer to one another an chosen to vacate the room in order to extract the information without having to watch the others at their appallingly sloppy amorous relations (he Loki definitely knew the value a decent argument had on a tumble in the sheets). Loki actually felt grateful for the first time in a long while that she had chosen to include him in her escape. She eventually released him, and they wound through several corridors lined with strange machinery part of his mind would like to examine more closely, numbers and measurements passing through his mind. Another part of his mind had already analysed a thousand possible attack scenarios and exit strategies. and of course there was always the part of him that raged and burned and wept a thousand hot tears at all the lies and betrayals of past years; though that part seemed to quiet a little it this small woman’s easy company.
The rest of his considerable intellect however was currently occupied by the curve of the woman’s ass in those pants and the ratio of breast tissue she was carrying compared to the surface area of each hand. he’d just come to the estimation of very nearly 1:1 when they arrived at the door. Realising the path of his thoughts he squeezed his hands closed, and placed them behind his back, leaning easily on the hallway wall to hide the tell when she looked up at him. Her eyes were so very bright, he noticed, holding an intelligence he was sure many missed in her skilled use of other distractions.
Darcy gave him a heated smile before opening the door and pushed it open. she took him by the hand and lead him inside before pushing him into the closed door. once more his surprise at Darcy’s sheer audacity to touch a prince allowed her to move his considerable bulk around easily.
He continued to be shocked at her gall as she pulled his face down to meet her own in a searing kiss, biting his lower lip with little warning.
he had always wondered at the actual physical heat present in these kinds of exchanges, now he knew that he truly was icy in more than temperament.
his thoughts along that melancholy line were completely derailed by the girl going for his belt. his hand caught her wrist gently even as his cock swelled at her spunk and the lingering burning sensation on his mouth. “I thought you wanted to know…” he started but came to a stop when she shrugged with a crooked smile he found to be very appealing.
“Oh I still want to know that stuff Magic Man, but we exchange payment before goods here on Midgard.”
“Do you now?” he asked, stroking her cheek and watching her shiver at his cool touch on her flushed skin. “And what if I ruin you for all others, hmm?One doesn’t often recover from a romp with a god. will a scrap of information be worth it to you then?”
to his surprise she smiled. “Oh I think you’ll find I’m a very political animal Loki. I think there’s a lot more than a scrap to be gained in being Mischief’s Lady for the foreseeable future.”
Loki growled, picking her up and throwing her on the bed. Loki was restrained and contained in many circumstances but he’d never been able to resist the offer of claiming. as he crawled up over the covers and met her in another fiery kiss, it seemed that his trip to Midgard would be far more profitable than he’d been led to believe.
he hardly knew this girl but as he dragged his teeth down her throat he mused that she should keep him entertained for quite some time to come.
Time he was now more determined than ever to ensure they all had.

* Ne’er Say We Die Multi-Chapter Inter-realm awesomeness and pirate fun. Features lots of Asgardian goodness. Darcy and Loki finally get romantically involved. Again, captivating and well written.
** We Are Our Own Folklore Multi-Chapter This fic is more Loki-centric and involves him shape-shifting to fem!Loki again in order to survive and get back to Darcy. I also have 3 words for you to convince you to read this: Pole dancing Loki.
High Priestess In Red One-shot This is not really tasertricks but its part of the series and VERY well written. The language description is just…… poetry basically. This fic is Wanda (comic Wanda)-centric and features Loki as a magic instructor.
The Tale Of Winter’s Daughter Multi-Chapter Again, not really focused on tasertricks but instead, their daughter. But still, a good read.
The Measure Of A God Multi-Chapter Natasha is educated in the happenings of sexytimes and Darcy goes to her with some questions. I thought this is a really cute discussion between 2 of my fav marvel girls.
Midgardians Are Easy Multi-Chapter (incomplete) Darcy’s inner monologue is really funny, but not inaccurate at all.
Fast Food by BuzzCat So basically Darcy takes Loki out to enjoy midgardian cuisine.
** The Blood-Dimmed Tide Multi-Chapter OK so OHMYGOD JUST GO READ THIS NOW. The writing is just amazing, its like reading art and the plot is sooo good and it really draws you in and just go read pls. Post-Avengers but realistic so the economy is down and everything is in ruins, Loki is a prisoner, Darcy somehow gets assigned to watch him. Mama Frigga is manipulative. Also, the butchering of Norse mythology but heh, Marvel does that anyway. Just so you know, this is VERY dark. Trigger warning for torture and sexual harassment/rape.
The Star-Filled Sky Multi-Chapter (incomplete) The sequel to TBDT. Personally, I feel that this fic is kinda slow and pales in comparison to the first one. The writing is still amazing but I find the plot too still. Also, I think this fic is even darker than the first if that is possible. Trigger warning for depression and cutting.
** With Pie PLEASE READ THIS ONE ITS REALLY REALLY GOOD. The plot is very simple, really, but its simplicity is astoundingly captivating and wonderful and there is so much cuteness and fluff. The fic goes from Loki being a little shit to Loki being Darcy’s best friend to eventually them being lovers. Also, pie fixes mental illness.
Burned Risotto and Failure Cookies idk. I think that this fic would have been better if simply left at the end of With Pie. This fic is more domestic and focuses on Darcy and Loki’s relationship on Midgard. Also, Loki is still a little shit to Thor.
Darcy, Loki and the Yarn Store by Hermaline75 All human AU. Interesting plot, well written text. Loki has lots of issues and lots of sex. This series can be summed up in 4 words: Bisexual Loki likes sex.
* The Cat Formerly Known As Prince by ibided Basically, Loki shapeshifted into a cat and manipulated his way into being Darcy’s pet. Also, ALMOST EVERY SINGLE PART IS REALLY FLUFFY with the exception of some which have Loki being a lil shit.
* Lokitty Chronicles by canterburyfic okok, I confess I may be biased towards all things Lokitty. But seriously, this series is really good!
That Darn Cat Multi-Chapter Really cute, kinda cracky, all in all very captivating. There is not a groundbreaking, million dollar plot to this fic but Loki(tty)’s interactions with Darcy and Avengers is enough to suck you in.
* Darcy cycle by Aria Holy mama Frigga, all I have to say is that this fic is a literal masterpiece. The writing alone makes me want to orgasm, ITS SO BEAUTIFUL its like the mona lisa was put into words no joke. The plot of this series itself is quite simple and follows Norse mythology but its the writing style that makes this truly magical.
In Which Nobody Is Normal Because Normal Is Boring by IffyJr1512 Not really tasertricks, even though tasertricks IS involved. Told from Bruce’s point of view, this fic features cute Avengers shenanigans that Bruce pays witness to daily. I love this fic because of the writing style which is unique and these headcanons are truly adorable.
** The Subconscious Speaks Volumes by daxcat79 Ok so this fic is really good and well written. The plot is gets quite personal with our fav characters and contains lots of interesting twists. 1 word: inception.
* Black Ice by of_raven_wings Also the author of the series Turning and Turning, this author HAS SOME SERIOUSLY WICKED WRITING SKILLS. I can’t even with the intense descriptions that are so vivid and so poetic. Porn with plot, this fic is really amazing. Its very gentle and intimate.
Magic for Beginners by Vera (Vera_DragonMuse) All human AU. This fic has a very captivating plot and comprehensible text. Loki is a magician and Darcy somehow becomes his assistant. Go read it, seriously.
** In the Service of Liars and Killers by MildredJosephine YOU HAVE TO READ THIS FIC OK. Taking place during the Avengers, Loki basically mind-controls Darcy into minionhood and he slowly falls for her. The plot is so well thought out and amazing I love this fic so much.
* Three Days by mischiefgoddesscomplex Go and read this now. Its very smutty, very sweet and very well written. The plot is not OHMYGOD CALL A MOVIE PRODUCER, in fact, its quite simple. Its the descriptive writing that really makes this fic stellar.
** Utter Darkness by ElegantMess This is no joke, after I read this, I felt like I had been reborn. THIS FIC CAN HAVE MY CHILDREN. A wonderful combination of angst, smut and hurt/comfort, this fic is superb. The plot is engrossing and riddled with plot twists and the writing is beautifully colourful. Warning for pervy Loki, torture and feels.
Daily Disasters by concavepatterns Lots of snark, lots of sexual tension, lots of hilarious Darcy internal monologue. This fic is really good and features some hot sexytime.
** Shine Without Fear by Yavannie Go read this now. Its really amazing and the plot pulls many Quicksilvers (you did not see that coming?) . This fic is told from several different points of view as our Avengers get separated. This is so well written and ridiculously original, I really love this fic so much.
** Not Without A Fight by concavepatterns Is it possible to marry fanfiction? Cos that is what I want to do whenever I read this. Loki is a little shit, Darcy is a dedicated friend and Jane is well… dying. This takes place during TDW and is basically how I was praying the movie would go.
Little Visits by concavepatterns ok guys, really. see this person ^ here is repeated several times throughout this list because really, she’s a hella good writer. just read everything she write’s and you’re good. This fic is FRIGGIN BANANABALLS and I find really cute.
** A Morbid Taste For Ice by sitehound THIS IS ONE OF THE FICS THAT GOT ME SHIPPING TASERTRICKS!!! It is legit so amazing and the plot is so organised and Loki is a lil shit but he’s also kinda sad cos reasons I will not give away JUST READ IT! This fic is like a murder mystery crossed with fantasy featuring OTP meaning PERFECTION.
** Captivated by leftylain Fun fact: did you know that if you use the filter on the side of the AO3 webpage and use kudos as the form of organisation, THIS FIC BECOMES THE FIRST BECAUSE IT IS THE MOST KUDOS-ED TASERTRICKS FIC ON AO3?! I think that speaks for itself. Go read this. Also, pre-Thor Prince Loki :)))
* Manic Taser Dream Girl by anniemar Post TDW featuring agent Darcy and fluff and smut and crack and I cannot with this fic just read please.
The Devil Wears Armani by crazynoona All human AU where Loki is Darcy’s hot sexy drool-worthy boss. There is a lot of hot smut in this. Very well written smut may I add. There are traces of plot.
* Blame it on the Vodka by dhauren Extremely very amazingly well written. Has lots of feels and Loki snark. Great humor and a unique plot. Go read this please.
** The Flip Side by paynesgrey OK WOW so this fic has such an amazing plot that is totally one of a kind, praise this author’s brain!!! Daddy Odin sucks, Loki is a mean shit even without a body and Darcy is the poor victim caught in the middle of it all. This is superbly written. Both Darcy and Loki’s internal monologues are spot on in character. MUST READ. Warning for torture and outrage of modesty(???) well if you possess someone’s body, it technically is an outrage of modesty and more i’m sure
Magnificent Incomplete Multi-Chapters: note: I will not review/rate these because they’re not completed yet but yeah, join me in painful wait for updates
* The Talk by Joanacchi Crack + Smut This is more between Thor and Loki. This is absolutely hilarious honestly. Thor asks Loki how to pleasure Jane properly. Loki demonstrates with a Darcy clone.
Tight Spaces by concavepatterns Smut Loki and Darcy get stuck in an elevator together. Things escalate (and i’m not talking about the elevator, that thing aint movin)
** Dear Darcy by crazynoona Angst kinda, feels This fic will break your feels guarantee it.
Darkness by of_raven_wings Hurt/Comfort, Angst THE WORDS ARE TOO BEAUTILFUL I CAN’T. Loki saves Darcy Warning: Rape
Sex On The Beach by MistressofLoki Smut thrown in with some crack for good measure. Loki misunderstands Darcy. (not that either is complaining well maybe thor is)
** Inn Mistaka by LadyCharliEM THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY A SHORT ONE-SHOT ITS A REALLY GOOD LONG STORY THAT IS SIMPLY AMAZING AND YOU HAVE TO READ IT. THIS IS UNDER ONE-SHOTS BECAUSE THE AUTHOR POSTED THE ENTIRE FIC IN ONE CHAPTER THUS IT QUALIFIES AS A ONE-SHOT.
** 23 Skidoo by SilverRumRunner THIS IS AMAZING I LOVE THIS GO READ! THIS LITERALLY COULD HAVE BEEN A DELETED SCENE FROM THOR TDW. (meaning, my brain has accepted this as headcanon)
Under Ether by Lunik Wonderful, hilarious crack. So Darcy is babysitting a Loki doped on drugs. That’s it. That’s the plot. (and I love it)
To: Frosty by vindiya Fluff galore. An absotootly adorable fic that is a must read during Christmas time.
* Run Softly, For I Speak Not Loud or Long by Allecto & blackbird ok so someone actually recommended this to me and it is really amazing. Its a full blown story too and is very sweet. There is a sort of reference to the comics/mythology in the sense that Loki gets his mouth sown shut. Smut, hurt/comfort, fluff.
Definitely Not Human by LokiOfSassgaard Crackish Smut. Very, very awkward sex. Loki makes a fool of himself as Jotun sex has some… unexpected happenings.
Echo by ohmyloki Ends on a very sweet note. This features in-the-process-of-trying-to-be-redeemed!Loki.
Of Pranks and Switching Bodies by MyNameIsDarcyLewis Crack. So much crack. Basically our Hiddlestoner joke about Tom’s seemingly never ending legs and Tasertricks pull a Freaky Friday. Also, Loki is a sappy romantic.
** And Then Shawarma by SilverRumRunner Fluff + Crack. This fic is a very much realistic way Tasertricks could possibly meet. Marvel should literally do a one-shot after this one-shot no joke. (AHEM AHEM HINT HINT MARVEL PLEASE) Immediate post-Avengers, the team eats Shawarma and Darcy babysits the megalomaniacal Norse god.
* Down the Rabbit Hole by psychollama Smut Darcy gets mind controlled by Loki and the Tesseract apparently ships Tasertricks. Very hot.
* Thou Makest a Cunning Linguist by Tawryn Crackish smut I can totally imagine Darcy doing this during sexytimes. Every time I read this, I have to continually pause and walk the second hand embarrassment off. I cringe for Darcy every time
**
I Find the Silence Bearable With You by spikewriter This is amazing, beautiful, if slightly angsty, fluff. Its so well written and just wow. This fic explores each character’s own depths to their own extent. Wonderful Thor and Loki relationship dynamics and mouth foaming tasertricks budding friendship.
~to be continued as new works arise~
Wow! To have some of my work mentioned among some seriously talented writers is such an honor! Thank you!!
And now I will work doubly hard to finish my WIPs because you all deserve completed stories!!
Sheriff Rogers smoothed out the copied picture of two outlaws, the only one taken of either of them in the last seven or eight years: Loki Silvertongue and Miss Darcy Lewis. There was a whole lot of speculation about those two, and not much else. Loki was wanted for two counts of murder back in Asgard, of both his adoptive father and his biological one. He’d left a heaping big bunch of marshalls wounded and lit on outta there. Loki had been through every frontier territory there was and plenty of charges had followed in his wake. Train robbery, bribery, smuggling. But no trail, and no witnesses willing to even swear to what day of the week it was. He was tall, whip smart, and much stronger than he looked. A real menace to civilised folks, and somewhere along the way he’d acquired an accomplice.
Some said that Loki had kidnapped Miss Lewis, threatened to kill her if she didn’t do his bidding. Others said she went willingly, often going so far as to say Loki seduced her from a goodly, god-fearing life to one of sin. Saloon gals from here to Iowa smiled and said the name Silvertongue weren’t on account of his pretty words. But it was hard to tell. A marriage certificate had turned up in Kansas but if there was one thing anybody knew about Darcy Lewis, it was that she was one of the best damn forgers in the country. She faked travel papers, bills of sale, licences for anything and everything, state pardons. Hell, even money. And the only clue came when she disappeared and, instead of your half of whatever deal you thought you’d made, she left you with a red hot helping of lead.
Loki was a manipulative bastard but when it came down to it, he shot you straight. Quick and deadly. It was Miss Lewis you had to watch out for; she’d shoot you in the gut and still leave room for you to regret it. He’d heard that one time she just plain ran her horse right over some poor deputy.
All that was years ago, neither of them had been seen in a long time, and only one ranger from Asgard was on their trail now. Thor Odinson had promised to track his brother to the ends of the earth, but whether that was to bring him in or put a bullet in him, Steve wasn’t sure. But either way, Asgard had sent word that Odinson would be coming Steve’s way and it would be better for all concerned if Steve saw fit to share his jurisdiction.
And now that he thought about it, he had heard of a couple who’d staked a claim outside of town…
this was a really great prompt that I couldn’t even contain to just art!! I based it off this photo of Belle Starr (1848 – 1889), who was called the “bandit queen” and consorted with outlaws (including Jesse James). She supposedly wore a hat with feathers and, like in the photo, rode side-saddle. At one point she was arrested for horse theft by Bass Reeves, the original Lone Ranger! She was shot and killed extrajudicially aged forty in Oklahoma and her death went unsolved.
