Looking for A Specific Avengers Fic

[ryder clark]

Ages ago, when I had just joined the fandom, I read this fic. I can't recall if it was set directly post-Avengers; or if it was one of those fics where Loki never got captured at the end of the movie and goes on to occasionallly wreck havoc on Midgard.
In the fic, the Avengers team is confronting Loki and he performs some kind of spell, which goes terribly awry. The Avengers are then transported into his mind- which is an incredibly effed up place. They encounter a younger, scared version of Loki, a Jötunn version of Loki, see some awful memories- shiz like that. I'm not positive, but I think they have to navigate through his mind to find the "current" Loki, who might be able to get them out, or something- I'm not exactly sure. Either way, they go traipsing around and, at the very least, gain a better understanding of their enemy and realize that thesituation isn't so black-and-white.

I can remember ALL THIS DETAIL- but not the name of the fic. Please halp?

Sorry, that's not it (incidentally though, I have read that one before).
The fic I'm looking for is pretty angsty; the spell that went wrong actually transported the Avengers into Loki's mind, like it was a physical place. And if I'm remembering right, they had to kinda interact with these different perceptions Loki had of himself (like his Jötunn self, his child self, and so on).

I hope you can find this - it sounds *great*. I can't think of anything remotely similar. I love those "going inside someone's mind" stories. One of my favorites is one where Loki has to go inside Thor's mind to save his life. I'll keep track of your post to see if anyone has an answer for you, because I'm dying to read this now. :-)

YAAAASSS! It took like a week of using a combination of various Avenger search filters, but I FINALLY found it!
