Poor Loki... :(

Hope someone can feed my newest addiction...

I just finished ConeyCat's amazing Housemates 'verse, where she delves deep into her interpretation of Loki's character, the misunderstandings that caused the events of 'Thor', the failings of Frigga & Odin's A+ parenting, etc etc.  I'd love love LOVE to read more fics in this vein:  where Loki's choices were caused by loneliness and misery, not by an evil streak, where redemption is possible; fics where Thor realizes he truly loves his brother, despite how he has ignored and excluded him in teh past.  Fics where Odin didn't bring home a changeling child simply to use him to further his own kingdom, but rather because he couldn't let a baby die of exposure.  Fics where Loki was the outsider growing up, was abused or neglected, etc etc etc.

Gen, Slash or Het welcome, just no Thor/Loki, unless you feel it is a truly amazing read.  Happy endings (or at least hopeful) preferred, but I don't mind a good hard cry either!

Thank you in advance!

This is pretty much everything I want in Loki fics too, so I second this. I think nearly all my favorite Loki fics fit these qualifications one way or another if you want to check my bookmarks on AO3 (http://archiveofourown.org/users/100indecisions/bookmarks) for now (I can actually go through and pick out some especially good ones later, because as it turns out my bookmarks are a huge mess).
