“Iron Man is Loki's Good Counterpart. Very clever, but has little idea of how to fight beyond Attack! Attack! Attack!? Deadpan Snarker? Narcissistic? A total diva who's all about presentation and self-aggrandisation? Prone to equally spectacular self-destructive behavior? Bitterly jealous of the blond, nobler teammate who his father liked better? A big difference, of course, is Tony's experience in Afghanistan, which drastically changed his worldview. Loki is very close to a version of pre-Afghanistan Tony Stark Gone Horribly Wrong, albeit with far more jealousy and Sibling Rivalry.”- TVTropes archived page
"I started reading Avengers fics based on recs I was picking up from my flist. Although I was really interested in gen, especially fics featuring Natasha, most of the early ones recommended were Loki/Tony. At first glance the FrostIron ship didn't seem very likely to me. However, after trying out Bruce/Loki, Clint/Loki, Darcy/Loki, Thor/Loki, Jane/Loki, Steve/Loki, Sif/Loki and Natasha/Loki, I have to say it's the one that makes the most sense to me [...] To me the biggest suspension of disbelief to overcome is that two guys, with such massive egos that a single planet is hardly enough to contain them, can exist in the same room (much less same relationship). Realistically, I think that Stark and Loki are too much alike to actually be attracted. However, the stories where their egos are less important than their achievements are the ones that can really click."
"It seems to me that one reason he and Tony tend to work as a pairing is that he generally needs to shed fewer of his canonical characteristics to fit together with Tony[...]"
"It is exactly because, as some fics have implied, Tony Stark is essentially a prince of Earth that he has so many meeting points with Loki. Statecraft, political maneuvering, entitlement, self-absorption, and a defiance of protocol and expectations are all areas where the two overlap, not to mention similar family issues, betrayals, and rude awakenings that changed the course of their lives."
"Tony [..] can't point fingers at Loki's privilege, and he's not above whining himself, despite the fact that he regularly gets away with much more than Loki does and has fewer people who can clearly hold him to account. In short, the two seem as well balanced as two characters can be in this verse when one of them is a very long-lived god."- yourlibrarian, Why Loki/Tony Can Work

A few months after the battle of New York the God Loki appears back on Stark Tower under chaotic circumstances. This time however he is on the run. Tony Stark gets caught up in the crossfire and is taken along with the Aesir. Can the two of them ever make truce in order to get away? And even if they do, how does one escape from such a dark corner of the universe, when they are so very far away from the Nine Realms, that not even Loki knows the way back home. But first, they need to survive.

Epub pdfIn many centuries of life, Loki Liesmith has never had a follower like the other gods—until one day, he gains one. A mortal who is brash and bold and hardly believes in gods. He is someone who will change the course of Loki's life in more ways than Loki could have possibly imagined, because devotion can by a dangerous thing, especially when given not just by a mortal to a god, but by a god to his mortal, as well.

Epub pdf Tony is a vampire but noone wants to admit it. He's also half of the team that proved Loki wasn't himself during the invasion, and everyone wants to talk about that.
Thor and Loki show up to prove how great the Aesir princes are when they're not trying to destroy your planet, but inTony's view this is a mission only Loki succeeds at.
And he and Bruce will prove it to anyone watching. And maybe Tony will get a date out of it, after all...

Epub pdfFollowing a violent, masterfully feigned death aboard the Statesman, Thor believes Loki's gone for good; more importantly, so does Thanos. Exhausted and hungry for revenge, Loki returns to Earth, but as he bides his strength, anonymously supplying the Avengers with inside knowledge between his own preparations, he begins to see the true cost of holding on.

Epub pdfThis story exists in a completely different timeline from the Gotterdammurung 24/7 universe, the only common denominator being that Odin is (and always will be, in my mind), the worst dad in the history of dads. This Loki, at least at the start, is probably is closer to canon than his 24/7 counterpart. He definitely has an attitude and some major lessons to learn, not the least of which is how to survive on Midgard, in winter, with no magic and no superhuman abilities, while wearing his Jotunn form.
To say he's overwhelmed would be an understatement.

Epub pdf(Diverges from canon before Phase Two: assumes Loki escaped from Asgard after the events of 'The Avengers' and has continued to make trouble for the team.)
After a battlefield taunt gets much more of a reaction than expected, Tony realizes that at least some of Loki's vindictiveness may be influenced by outside factors.
Since Asgard's punishments just seem to keep making Loki angrier, and it's Earth that keeps on paying the price, Tony decides to take matters into his own hands. Besides, Loki keeps showing up to talk to him, so he doesn't have much of a choice. He just wishes he knew what the Devil he was doing.
Loki's volatile and dangerous and Tony may have bitten off more than he can chew, but slowly something grows between them. Love isn't a magic cure, but between them maybe they can alleviate the symptoms.

Epub pdfLoki’s plan for evading Odin is less a plan and more a series of increasingly ridiculous hiding places, almost all of which are apparently in Tony Stark’s mansion. Tony isn’t too happy with the Norse god that keeps showing up unannounced and destroying his living room, but he’s good at making the best out of a bad situation. Thor just wishes his brother would stay in one place for five minutes and all Steve wants is for Tony to stop flirting long enough to help save the world. In the end, they all get what they’re after– just perhaps not in the manner they had come to expect.
