Recs for Smart!Thor fics and/or Avenger!Loki

[renenzant.livejournal.com]

I just finished rereading this fic : Relics
1) Now I am craving fics where Thor is (more or less) not so clueless (as he seems always was at the beginning) and can become a partner to Loki in princely things, like negotiation with other realms or in strategising or giving input to Loki about this or that.

Also, (this second recs doesn't have to have anything to do with the first)
2) I would like to read more fics where Loki is included in Avenger since the beginning, or if he joins at later time, at least, not so focused on how he has to redeemed the battle of NY, but more about how he contributes to the team. I prefer Gen.
I have found some, but they are mostly Loki/Tony or even if Gen, it's usually so very short.

I would really really be so very very happy for any kind of recs you give.
Any AU, any pairing, etc are fine.
I hope for a lengthy story, but even if it's short, it's fine too.
For non-Gen fics, if there's any slash, please tell me first of the pairing.

Thanks ;D
*hugs and kisses to all of you*

(I'm sorry beforehand if I make any mistakes in the tagging.. this is my first time posting here)

I'm not sure if it's exactly what you're looking for, but Lise's Life in Reverse (228k, gen) is an AU in which Loki falls to Earth after the events of Thor 1 and eventually becomes a SHIELD agent and an Avenger.

thanks! I've read that one, and though it's really interesting, the story is too heavy on Loki's mental health and not enough Loki in action for me haha
Though I do want to reread it again :D

I've read a few of both. For the latter, I remember mostly fics where Loki becomes an Avenger after a big redemption plot. Let me know if you'd like recs for any of those.
The main "Thor is a good bro" fic I can think of doesn't match your rec, but I'll rec it anyway.

I recommend searching AO3 with these tags:
• Thor (Marvel) is a Good Bro
• Thor (Marvel) is Not Stupid
• Avenger Loki

sure! after redemption are fine too
and I've drained every fics search with AO3 in any kind of tag.. that's why I asked here :D

My favorite Badass!Loki fics:

Desperate Measures 'Verse by RenneMichaels
https://archiveofourown.org/series/46207
Not exactly Avengers!Loki, but close. Loki and Tony Stark. Long, gen.

SHIELD Codex by KhamanV
https://archiveofourown.org/series/181178
The Codex 'Verse (Sequel)
https://archiveofourown.org/series/485375
Loki as an Agent of SHIELD. There is a redemption arc, but it is nicely integrated with Loki being a badass shield agent. Very long, gen.

The Trickster Universe by Shadow_Chaser
https://archiveofourown.org/series/90937
Sort of Avengers!Loki.
They were never going to be friends, that much was certain. But perhaps, in time, they would be allies.
Very long, gen.

Loki Annoys the Marvel Universe by LokiOfSassgaard
https://archiveofourown.org/series/24574
AU in which Odin is mostly-honest, Thor is still a spoilt brat, and Loki still deserves a smack in the mouth. Mostly gen. I think one of the stories in the series is Loki/Fandral, but it's easy to skip. Long.

The Long Game by not_rude_ginger
https://archiveofourown.org/works/933232
No More Shall We Play (Sequel)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/3597033
Loki doesn't screw it up after Thor is banished. I thought it had a little to much malingering, but worth the read for badass King!Loki. Loki/Sigyn, long.

Storm's Eye by ReneAusten
https://archiveofourown.org/works/641777
In Asgard, post-Avengers, Loki is drawn into a whirlwind of deceit and ancient blood debt surrounding one of the Queen's handmaidens. At the same time, a shadowy menace stalks Asgard, eluding capture despite Thor's best efforts. When these two quests intertwine, Loki must confront both the rift between himself and his brother, and the sacrifices he is willing to make to meet his heart's greatest need. Loki/Sigyn

Thank youuu!! I thought no one would add more recs, so sorry for the late reply.

They are looong and their summary seems really really interesting. I look forward to read them all!

Though if you have more recs with more Thor&Loki brotherhood involved I would be glad to read them too huehue ;D

Thor and Loki brotherhood fics

Once More With Empathy by Kairyn
https://archiveofourown.org/works/8640694
Thor goes back in time to try and fix things. Meanders a bit, but quite good. WIP

An Ocean Deep and Cold: A SHIELD Codex by KhamanV
https://archiveofourown.org/works/14613753
Having uncovered the trail of even more buried family secrets, Thor turns to his brother to help him puzzle out what he believes may be a secret of his own lineage - but Loki's weariness with Odin's faults means he is at first unwilling to help.
When he does give in, the brothers together must face what the Realms have to offer them for all-new struggles, from Earth's intrigue to Alfheim's bureaucracy... and they must also share the weight of their own fraught relationship.
Part of KhamanV's Codex 'Verse, but I think it can be read alone.

I know I've read other brotherhood fics, but I'm drawing a blank. If I think of any more I'll post them here.

thanks again!!

I'm already having "Once More With Empathy" in my bookmark for sometime now huehuehue
but the Codex verse is a new one :D so, yay!!
(and I'm still not finished reading through the previous recs you gave muahahaha)
