Days and Steps by Catking_Catkin (gen)
Even after everything, Thor holds out hope that his brother can be redeemed. Now that he's away from the Chitauri, his mind is fully his own again. Not that he's home, even as a prisoner, maybe he can start to remember what it's like to have a family and a place to belong. Maybe he can even come to truly understand the other worlds as something other than a conqueror.

Nuances by FelicityGS (Natasha/Loki)
Loki is here—in her safe house no less—and despite the complexion change Natasha isn’t sure what else he has access to. Even if he doesn’t have his magic, he looks like a mutant; all the world needs is Magneto or Mystique recruiting him to their cause. She can’t very well let him walk out, but she doesn't have enough time to get SHIELD here either. Does not want SHIELD here anyway—this is a safe house, meaning away from them as well, and Natasha hates the hassle of moving locations.

Here are some of my favorites:

Bargaining by Proantagonist (Gen)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1108212
Faced with an eternity without his brother, Loki strikes a bargain to change the past. Post TDW.

Winterheart by Goddamnhella (Loki/Tony)
For his crimes, Loki’s punishment began in a lonely and endless winter. For Tony’s sacrifice, his imprisonment began with a rescue. A story of ugliness and beauty, inside and out, and learning what the word ‘monster’ really means.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/9851081/chapters/22105451

A Morbid Taste for Ice by sitehound (Loki/Darcy)
Darcy Lewis likes to think of herself as terribly adaptable, with an "if life gives you lemons, zap life with a Taser and demand chocolate" sort of attitude. And life, lately, has had a perverse sense of humor, first trapping her in a state of perpetual Science Assistant in the armpit of New Mexico known as Puente Antiguo; and then forcing her to live in a trailer home with Jane Foster, Jane's guy, Thor, and his brother, Loki, master of mischief and wide-scale urban renewal.
But Darcy's not about to let her situation get her down. She's managed to get pretty good at her job, and with liberal application of a credit card, made her rustic house a home. And wielding a Taser and armored by her snarky wit, she's more than a match for the God of Mischief.
Stumbling face-first over the frozen body of a friend on the front porch, however, is more than even mostly unflappable Darcy can handle. The obvious suspect is her mentally unstable roommate. But despite all his other faults, Darcy is certain Loki isn't the perpetrator. And not just because she's starting for fall for him....

I do solemnly swear by Mikkeneko (gen)
In which our heroes learn the perils of lack of inter-team communication, and Loki gives his side of the story.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/518534?view_full_work=true

Ask Me No Questions by Alex51324 (Gen)
When Thor returns from Asgard to rejoin the Avengers, he brings Loki in tow--stripped of his magic and bound with a geas that allows him to speak only in response to direct questions. AKA, yet another "Loki lives with the Avengers; chaos ensues" story.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/887344

Overlapping Spaces by khilari, Persephone_Kore (Gen)
Summary: Thor returns to Earth a month after the Chitauri invasion to keep his promises -- to see Jane again, and take her to see Asgard, even if the rainbow bridge is still undergoing repairs. Not that Jane is complaining about watching the repairs. But she wasn't expecting Loki to be haunting the palace library, even in psychiatric care; and Loki wasn't expecting to make friends with Thor's mortal girlfriend.

And some more....

[catalenamara.livejournal.com]

No Such Liberty by Xparrot (Gen)
Summary: The first thing Loki said, after he had swiped his tongue over his lips to wet them, was, "You shouldn't trust me."
Following the attack on New York, Thor takes Loki back to Asgard in chains; but this does not mean that the god of mischief's schemes are ended, or that Thor has or ever will give up on his brother. But when Thanos threatens the realm to claim his lost prizes, on which side will Loki fall?
http://archiveofourown.org/works/461963

Chaos War by Astolat (Thorki)
Summary: It was never easy to find Loki when he wanted to hide, but he wasn't doing a particularly good job of it at the moment. Probably he didn't think anyone from Asgard would be wasting their time hunting for him while the shining ones churned their way steadily through all the realm.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/243244

Road to Nowhere by Lise (Gen)
Summary: When Loki turns up demanding Thor's help on a quest to retrieve the All-Mother from Valhalla, Thor isn't about to say no. But that doesn't mean he's forgotten anything, and what better time than a road trip through the backwaters of the universe for trying to talk things out?
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1155790

Take the Long Way Home by cavaleira (Thorki)
Summary: Thor strikes a deal with Loki: each month, he will trade half of his golden apple for one day spent together in a temporary truce. Both brothers find themselves getting more than they bargained for.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/470291

Bargaining by Proantagonist (Gen)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/1108212
Faced with an eternity without his brother, Loki strikes a bargain to change the past. Post TDW.

SHIELD Codex by KhamanV (Gen)
As Loki falls from Asgardian grace one more time, he chances a risky path that takes him directly to the door of SHIELD. At first a cautious enemy, then eventually an odd ally, and then ultimately a friend, Loki has to decide what changing his destiny truly means - and what it will cost.
http://archiveofourown.org/series/181178

A Place to Put My Heartache Across Six Christmases by BigSciencyBrain (Loki/Steve)
Steve's still trying to find his place in this world. Accidentally saving Loki's life doesn't help. But maybe there's a place for both of them, together.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/777680

Fear and Loathing in Asgard by Speranza (thorki)
http://archiveofourown.org/works/484500/chapters/843525

Monster Culture by Alvitr (Bruce and Loki)
When Loki is injured by Kurse in Thor: The Dark World, Thor pleads his case to the All-Father and Loki is given the chance to repay his wrongs on Midgard in the care of Bruce Banner. Over the course of a year, the two navigate the city of Boston and try to figure out what it means to be human and what it means to be a monster.
http://archiveofourown.org/works/2440775

Shatter by Aria (thorki)
"Loki," Odin says, heavy with disappointment and regret for all he has to raise his voice, "Odinson. I cast you out."
http://archiveofourown.org/works/213786

Leave Out All The Rest by Niori (gen)
Odin always intended his charismatic son to be the figurehead king, while the clever one advised him and made sure things ran well behind the scenes.
Only now Thor is king and Loki isn't playing. Thor has been insufferable since the coronation was announced and Loki in no mood to sort out the kingdom only for his brother to take the credit. He's not getting involved until Thor begs him for help! (Besides, watching Thor and Asgard flounder is hilarious!)

Take The Long Way Home by Cavaleira (thorki)

Trickster + SHIELD by kalishino
http:// archiveofourown .org/ works/5821582

Loki falls to Earth and is rescued by SHIELD. Fury, of all people, should have known better.

(Goes AU directly after end of Thor.)

[isoldam.livejournal.com]

Some of these stretch the definition of 'good person' a bit, but Loki is not a bad guy in any of them (for long)

The Yggdrasil Chronicles (http://archiveofourown.org/series/390355) by smac89
Darcy knew she wasn't normal. But she could never have imagined exactly how not normal. It involves realm-hopping, world-saving, and the universe's oldest conspiracy. As Darcy tries to unravel the mysteries surrounding her own past, she makes friends and surprising allies, including a certain God of Lies who is not quite as evil as she first thought.

Storm's Eye (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8864747/1/) by Rene Austen
In Asgard, post-Avengers, Loki is drawn into a whirlwind of deceit and ancient blood debt. At the same time, a shadowy menace stalks Asgard, eluding capture despite Thor's best efforts. When these two quests intertwine, Loki must confront both the rift between himself and his brother, and the sacrifices he is willing to make to meet his heart's greatest need. Loki/Sigyn

Family Ties (http://archiveofourown.org/works/309981) by skiesovergideon
After his fall from the Bifrost, Loki finds himself taken in by a suburban family and lacking most of his magic. He resolves to escape them as soon as possible. This does not go the way he planned.

Loptr Farm (http://archiveofourown.org/works/9695006) by Oceanbreeze7
Where Loki decides that the best place to stay hidden in all the realms, is right in the dead smack middle of Iowa.
He didn't mean to adopt a dog, or two, or four...Or a goat, a cat, a horse- wait, is that a lion?

Loki Annoys the Marvel Universe (http://archiveofourown.org/series/24574) by LokiOfSassgaard
AU in which Odin is mostly-honest, Thor is still a spoilt brat, and Loki still deserves a smack in the mouth.

Desperate Measures (http://archiveofourown.org/series/46207) by RenneMichaels
Loki is returned to Asgard and nothing good happens, but Loki isn’t the only one with issues, Odin has plenty of his own, especially in the realm of A+ Parenting. Loki is desperate to escape from Asgard, Odin and his past.

Thor and Family's Camping Adventures (http://archiveofourown.org/series/53258) by 5ofSpades
In Which Asa-Thor, his frost giant slave Loki, and their family go on a road/camping trip across the realms, meeting the colourful cast of the Poetic Edda along the way. aka How the Poetic Edda was mutilated by a ThunderFrost fic, complete with illustrations.

Meltwater (http://archiveofourown.org/works/508935) by Korilian, llassah
Loki Laufeyson slips between the worlds unnoticed, unmissed, curious as a child. Small and weak, he was left in the temple to perish, but survived the night. His only desire is for the freedom to pass through worlds unseen, but when the Jotnar invade Midgard and he is caught up in events beyond his control, he finds himself both having and needing more.

[isoldam.livejournal.com]

Aimless Play Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/153746) by not_rude_ginger
Loki has learned that the only way to get what he wants is to play the games he's good at. Now, Thor is banished, Odin sleeps, and Loki is king; a role he never wanted, but must uphold until Odin wakes, whenever that may be. Loki has to ensure his brother is safe, his kingdom avoids war, and his illegal marriage to Crown Princess Sigyn of Vanaheim remains a secret until the right time, all the while dealing with the truth of his heritage. He longs to show everyone that he can make Asgard great, but in the process he may lose what matters most to him.
Balancing politics, affairs, love and family, this will be the longest game Loki has ever played, but he is determined to win.

Changing Fate (http://archiveofourown.org/works/4143219) by melWinter
Loki was supposed to go back to Asgard to assume control of the throne after saving Thor on Svartalfheim. He was supposed to be the portent for Ragnarok...too bad fate didn't ask for his opinion. After all, fate didn't plan for Loki to find an abandoned baby elf. Nor did Loki plan to discover how intriguing Jane Foster can be. And what the heck do the Avengers and his trickster of a daughter have to do with any of this?

Hela's Entertainment (http://archiveofourown.org/works/8179390) by melWinter
Hela is not warm and fluffy. Nor is she Loki's daughter. She is a ancient creature, self-titled the Goddess of the Underworld who desperately searches for entertainment. A search that is difficult to find after existing for so long. To amuse herself she will watch the living, and currently she finds the trickster of Asgard highly entertaining.

The Littlest Valkyrie (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1513667) by bluetoast
On one of his realm walks, Loki Odinson discovers the Red Room in a remote area of the Soviet Union.Less than pleased with what he finds, he lays the compound to waste. The only survivor? A five year old girl with flame red hair named Natasha, whom he decides to take back home with him to Asgard and raise as his own.
