A Warning From The Gods (To Stay Away) by StompedKirbs
Fandoms: Loki (TV 2021), Marvel Cinematic Universe
25 Jan 2024
Tags
Summary
There’s a house across the street that Don isn’t sure was there the day before.
Not that he’s made a habit of looking too closely at the houses surrounding his. The grass always looks more even and the paint is always a bit brighter. Sue him, he’d rather protect his peace of mind over the insidious comparative nature of midwestern suburbia. So, in the long run, anything strange about the house across the street could be nothing more than re-painted doors or maybe a new bush on the lawn.
So, that’s probably it.
New trimming.

Or: Loki, grasping at straws, selfish incarnate, makes an attempt at not being alone. If only to spite the role he was forced to play.

Summary
If you’d told the old Mobius, the one from that first day, that in a couple years he’d be parked on a jetski in the middle of Newark, praying to Loki, with an empty bottle of Advil tucked into the pocket of his shorts, he would’ve laughed you out of the time theater.
“I miss you,” he tells the water.
The waves sigh back at him.

to find loki, mobius goes not to the end of time, but to the middle of it. he makes a few pit stops along the way.

Even Someone Good by atimefeeler

Summary
“That’s what I am. A nowhere man,” Mobius admitted, “Nothing feels right. Not my life on the timeline. Not the TVA. I’m just… stranded.”
“He really fucked you up, huh?” Sylvie murmured.
Mobius let out a bark of laughter, surprised, and shook his head. He wanted to deny it. He studied Loki's life and still, he went and fell for the one person destined to leave.
...
When Sylvie kicks Mobius through a time door, Mobius never expected to land in Asgard 2011 on the sacred timeline, right before Loki stages the Frost Giant attack in the weapons vault. He also never expected to survive long enough to become someone important to Loki and maybe even fall in love with him again.

Summary
“Maybe just take a break every once in a while,” Mobius offered, “Just, you know, when you can’t think anymore, or feel like you’ll pass out any second.”
“But I feel like that all the time,” Loki whispered, “If I stop now… what if I stop forever? What if I just give up?”
Mobius teased, “Give up? That’s not a very Loki thing to do, is it?”
**
OR Loki spent centuries trying to fix the Loom and Mobius spent centuries loving Loki. He just doesn't remember it.

Summary
"Nice speech," Sylvie drawls, but the sarcasm doesn't land.
“Guess your rendez-vous with destiny didn’t turn out so good, huh.”
Mustering a strained smile that dissolves instantly, Sylvie hums. Nothing about that is right. And the glaring anomaly in the room can’t be avoided any longer. Now there are no prying eyes, now Mobius can lean into that swell of apprehension enough to burst it wide open.
"Where is Loki?”
“Where’s Loki?” Sylvie asks at the same time.
Oh.
Oh no.
Destiny is a deception and fate is a fiction. They're doing this their way.

Summary
Loki grins broadly, white teeth gleaming. “I wasn’t aware the CIA took a special interest in art theft.”
“They don’t.”
“So you’re here because…?”
Mobius coughs. “This is, ah, a personal project.”
“Is that so?” Loki says, looking entirely too delighted. His smile gets even wider, and much more predatory. “Why, I’m flattered, Agent Mobius.”
“Don’t be,” Mobius warns, doing his best to glare at the other man. He knows it’s futile; Loki can’t help but be flattered. It’s in his nature. “One day I’m going to catch you.”
(Mobius just wants to bring down the notorious and prolific art thief he's been studying for years. He certainly doesn't expect said thief to be so handsome, or charming, or... helpful?)

Mac and Dennis Conduct an Experiment by pavonine
Fandoms: It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia
17 Sep 2016

Summary
Dennis convinces Mac that the only surefire way to prove his straightness is to sexually experiment with another man. Of course that man happens to be Dennis. Of course Mac buys into this as a reasonable plan of action.
Of course it backfires on them both.
Set somewhere in the middle of Season 8. Warnings really only apply later on in the story.

Summary
How can he say more than the words that don’t even capture a fraction of the pain. You were dead. Three words that are too weak to hold up the agony. Cas, you were dead, and you weren’t coming back. I know because I burned the body.
“Okay, alright. You don’t need to speak. It’s alright- I’ll- I’ll just-” and then Cas is holding up a glowing hand that he moves over the vague shape of Dean’s body under the tangle of his bedsheets. “I can’t sense anything wrong. Nothing malignant, or even duress of natural causes. I don't- I don’t know what’s happening.”
Cas, man, it’s actually not as bad as it seems. I think I’m having a panic attack.

Summary
“How did it feel?” His gaze trails to the scars again, head tilting, neck pale. “When he cut you.”
Again the gentle shift in Hannibal’s throat, the barely visible tic that suggests a blink that never comes. He’s poised, wire-taut and patient, letting his eyes linger on the fingers gently turning the filter between them. He considers how the smoke still lingers in the air, knows he’ll smell it for days, wonders if it will seep into the carpet, into his suit…
“Like a reminder.” he said softly, “That a wolf will never be a house pet.”
A therapy session, an oral fixation. That's as much as you need to know. Freud would be proud.

Summary
Cecil Palmer is the best phone sex operator in the small company called Night Vale. One night, a slightly tipsy and very lonely scientist dials his number, and gets far more than he bargained for - a late night conversation about advanced biochemistry, a brand new fetish for surreal horror, a surprisingly reasonable internship program, some newts, and slowly, strangely, the love of his life.

Summary
He gives it a little shake; maybe it’s broken. That’s when the needle starts wavering again. And suddenly, Carlos can hear Cecil’s voice. Coming from the Geiger counter.
Night Vale changes things, and Carlos is about to discover just how much. A coda to the very first episode.

Summary
Before the zombie apocalypse, Carlos was a scientist. Now, between the ravenous hordes that defy all scientific explanation, the vast abandoned cities, and the loss of his old communities, he's not quite sure where he fits in. Arriving alone in a strange desert town, where the locals are alternately welcoming and hostile, and where he's sure that his radio operator is crushing hard on him, Carlos starts to think he may have found some way in which he can be useful: he runs.
A Night Vale / Zombies Run AU, because both stories begin with a newcomer in town, and are narrated by a guiding voice on the radio.

Summary
"The colloquial name is bloodstone," says the man from StrexCorp's Acquisitions division. "Heard of them?"
Carlos shakes his head. "No, but I'm not a minerologist. Are you certain this wasn't intended for the geology department?"
~
Carlos is a loyal company employee, who has never been to any place called Night Vale and never met anyone named Cecil…which doesn’t explain the mysterious woman appearing in his lab, or these dreams he’s started having…

Summary
No one else is aware, but Cecil is, and he isn’t bothered by it. Although he is bothered by how not bothered he is. Shouldn’t he see an issue and fix it? Shouldn’t he be actively trying to get better, problem realized? What was he waiting for, someone to come make him act like a responsible adult?
