Good/misunderstood/abused!Loki & bad!Thor

[macbyrne.livejournal.com]

First time poster here!

I've been reading a lot of fics about Loki, about his POV during the events of Thor and afterwards, and have become hopelessly smitten with the scamp that he is.  ;)   What I'd really like to read, and have had some trouble finding, are fics where Loki is the good one, the abused one, the misunderstood one, and Thor is the villian of the piece, either through ignorance (not realizing that Loki's been abused all these years, mentally, emotionally, physically, etc) or through sheer malevolence.  Thor can be as bad or as indifferent as you like; hell, I'll even take good Thor; what I want to see is where someone else clues Thor into what his brother has been going through all this time.  I'd like to see where the Avengers welcome Loki in with open arms, and maybe give Thor the cold shoulder.  Any pairing, or gen, doesn't matter.  Just want to read real angst-fests where other people realize that Loki isn't such a bad guy, after everything he's been through, and where Thor isn't so perfect and wonderful as he's been led to believe.

I hope this makes sense to someone!!!  LOL.  Thanks in advance, guys!

(I've tried to tag correctly, and have probably instead tagged excessively; sorry about that!!!)

You should definitely read Are You There God of Mischief? It's Me Tony by fullofleaves ;)

Omg there's this one called Wandering Child, started anonymously on the KMM and crossposted to AO3. It's a WIP but it's so freaking long and it's known as one of the best angsty sob-fests in this fandom, and so ridiculously well written.

You might want to set aside some time for it, because it's heavy and emotional and really long, but so good! I hope you like it! BTW please please mind the ratings. It's rated and tagged with trigger warnings for a reason. Loki really is a poor bb.

I actually started reading Wandering Child just before I posted this search; so far I'm really enjoying it! Thank you for the rec.

No, but I'm running to go read it now! LOL. Thank you!

Note the above story is an unmarked WIP (also brilliant). If you don't mind brilliant WIPs then Wandering Child might fill your bill.

Also, for complete and utter perfection, try Lost Boys.

Where can Lost Boys be found?

Thank you for all the great recs; if you think of any more, please let me know.

And just in case you haven't read it, this is one of my favorite favorite Loki stories:

Darkness, Flooded in Light

I think you should read a heart of mesquite if you haven't already it has most the things in that u are talking about but its one where Loki gets turns into a kid and in my opinion its amazing
