Shapeshifter Loki Escapes & Loki recs

I'm looking for a story I read some time ago. This is the only scene I can remember from it. Loki is a prisoner on Asgard and has been sentenced to (execution?). Loki escapes by turning into an insect (fly?) and hiding on Frigga's (shoe?). I think Frigga knew Loki was there and was helping him escape. Does anyone remember a story with a scene like this in it?

I've been on a Loki kick recently, so I'd also love to have any recs for your favorite stories where Loki is the protagonist and is not a total bad guy. Thanks so much!

I tried to get a nice selection from some of my favorites, so I hope you enjoy some of these.

Loki Makes Love and Babies (And forgets the War part)

*features mpreg or rather Lokipreg so you might want to skip if you don't like that trope.

Queen of Lies by Bernice (iibnf)

This is Frigga-centric but it also explains the backstory to Asgard, Thor, etc. a lot better than the MCU does.

This goes AU early in 'Thor 1' and features Jotunn Loki.

Here's one that features Loki clones plus a later appearance by Loki himself.

I was deep into the SHIELD Codex stuff when it was still being written. If you'r all right with gen, it's pretty up there with some of the best imo. He starts off still pretty bad, but goes through this whole journey into being a better guy. With Coulson!

Here's the first one, but there's a whole bunch of fics in the series.

These are some of my favorite Loki-centric fics on AO3.

Here are my bookmarks, almost all of them Loki-centric. I read slash, get and gen - pretty much all pairings. I generally bookmark one story per author and almost all of these authors have many more good stories.

If you ever find the story you're looking here could you post the link here? I'd love to read it.
