Loki fic recs

I’m in the Loki/everyone camp, so my ao3 bookmarks has a large variety of fics. Some are Loki-centric fics with no pairings, most are thorki, with frostiron, stoki and others mixed in too. The ones listed below are nowhere near all I’ve bookmarked or read, but are definitely my favorites. This was inspired by an anon asking for Avenger Loki fics – tho I don’t have a lot of those, so a more general fic rec post got made.

Loki-centric fics are above the cut, the rest are under. 

read the tags before starting any fic, have fun, and write your own ❤
