Rec Lists?

Or, alternatively, just recs? With the tag system being down on AO3, and FFN just being terrible for searching for fic, I've been trying to find rec lists. Or just recs in general.

Where can a person find long, plotty fic? I'm particularly interested in Thor right now, but I am not terribly picky. I like AUs of any sort, especially with a lot of world-building. I'm not terribly into slash, but if it's a background thing and not the central focus of the fic, that's fine too.

There's a Recs Compilation Post (http://avengers-search.livejournal.com/691.html) which you might find useful. :)

Have you read Silvertongue by Epiphanyx7 (http://archiveofourown.org/works/407723)
Pairings: Thor/Jane, Thor/Loki *Unrequited*, Sif/Loki (one-sided), Coulson/Clint
Summary: [[Post-Avengers. Loki’s plan had gone perfectly, now he needs only to see it to it’s natural conclusion.]] No Asgardian cell can hold him. Loki’s magic is bound, but his mind is not — and the Aesir were always fools, to think that Loki’s mind was anything than his most dangerous asset.

It's Post-Avengers and it's pretty awesome with BAMF!Loki (and Jane). Though if you have a problem with major character death, I suggest you skip it. But it's long and plotty? :D?

The Uncertainty Principle by claireoujisama (http://archiveofourown.org/works/346088)
Summary: Post-movie AU that deals with the troubled relationship between Thor, Loki, and Jane in amongst the mess caused by SHIELD arsing about with the cosmic cube/

I could probably rec you more long/plotty fic, but they're either going to be Thor/Loki, Tony/Steve or Tony/Loki. :/

In Which Tony Stark Builds Himself Some Friends (But His Family Was Assigned by Nick Fury) (http://archiveofourown.org/series/18228). This is Steve/Tony but the series has three long stories and most of it is GEN.

I don't really know any Thor focused rec pages, but I have been keeping an eye on the following rec journal / tags /people who rec stuff - maybe you'll find something there:

Marvel tag of [livejournal.com profile] bethbethbeth's rec journal (mostly avengers, all genres, pairings and characters imaginable - I trust beth's recs absolutely and will read stuff she recced that's normally not my cup at all.) : http://beth-h.dreamwidth.org/tag/recs_update:marvel%26dc_comics

[livejournal.com profile] rexluscus's recs (mostly Loki, but where there's Loki, there's usually Thor) http://rexluscus.livejournal.com/tag/recs

[livejournal.com profile] amanuensis1's recs (handily sorted by genre, variety of pairings and characters) part 1: http://amanuensis1.livejournal.com/280978.html / part 2: http://amanuensis1.livejournal.com/281181.html

Bea's recs (not overly familiar with those, but I've found some good stuff there. Has links to various Masterlists, although mostly slash): http://bea-lullaby.tumblr.com/tagged/recs

Unfitforsociety's recs (not overly familiar with those either as there's not much Loki. But looks like a good variety to poke through) http://unfitforsociety.dreamwidth.org

I'm not really into reccing stuff myself (too lazy tbh) but I do maintain bookmarks of my favourite fics on AO3 - I'm mostly a Loki girl, so almost all of it is Loki focused slash or gen, but there's a bunch of other stuff there too and I'd rec all of them without reservation: http://archiveofourown.org/users/Mieronna/bookmarks

Good luck finding something :)

icarus_chained writes great gen. I really liked the JARVIS series and Tony and Bruce series.

I definitely second the rec above for In Which Tony Stark Builds Himself Some Friends. All of scifigrl47's fic is fabulous and the slash more background than the focus.

It's long, plotty, action/adventure-oriented, adorable fic and I highly rec it. Loki's magic goes a lil crazy and things happen (kid!loki, bruce/natasha switch bodies, Tony gets turned into a woman, Clint has to deal with it.

Coneycat's Housemates series on AO3 is amazing. It's AU and Loki-centric and very, very long. It was started before the Avengers came out so it's extremely AU at this point.
