Mischief and Mortals

Here's a quick rundown of what's going on this month and a updated links.

💚Twins of Fate - This month, look for chapters 25-28 on Tuesdays.

Quick recap: Gwen, my Avenger OC, attends an Asgardian party, meets Loki, and starts a whole new life with him and their twins. A new and final arc is starting this month.

💛One-shots - I post these on Fridays alternating with other projects. So far:

The Assignment - Gwen is assigned to keep an eye on Loki. (light tension)

Greenhouse Mischief - Loki visits Gwen in the greenhouse and secrets are revealed. (humor and flirting)

The Mission - Natasha and Loki go undercover at the opera. (light)

Loki's Cloak - Loki loans Gwen his cloak but in Asgard, that means something... (humor)

Meow - Loki decides to visit Gwen in cat form. (humor)

Coming this month: Optional smutty continuation of Meow

💚 The Avenger's Office - What if the Avengers were the subject of an Office-style mockumentary? I love this series! It's like a warm hug of comforting characters in a familiar format.

Episode 1: Pilot

Episode 2: Team Building - Tony declares a team building day with partner activities.

Episode 3: Optimization (Coming this month!) - Tony and Bruce decide the tower needs to optimized for maximum efficiency. Someone keeps making a mess around the coffee pot and Steve is determined to find out who it is.

💛 Still Awake? 6 part Mini-series - Gwen and Loki flirt over text. Parts 1-3 are posted. 4 is coming this month.

💚Between Missions - texting shorts between Gwen and Loki but those will be expanding in the future to include others.

I also post art and progress on my Brick Avengers Compound and random thoughts on characters.

Each story stands alone. My timeline resets with each new story so you don't have to read every one to understand what is going on. If they are together, like the mini-series or something like Meow, I'll make that clear.

If you like domestic Avengers, warm fuzzies, humor, banter, shenanigans, flirting, and the occasional smut, you are in the right place.

And then sometimes I stumble on an idea that I HAVE to work on immediately, so of course, I'm doing that. Hint: Gwen and Bucky! Deep, emotional, character-driven.

I will have more Avengers Office, more Evie and Doom, probably more Wild West Sheriff Loki. I am halfway through a Night Manager fic, too. All of those will come out sometime this year.

Doctor Doom: incorrect. sit down. take notes.

Rewatching Vikings and it still pisses me off that someone can be the hottest, baddest badass that ever badassed and their partner could still be a complete dipshit.

Welcome to Whisper Ridge

Sheriff Loki doesn’t mind a little chaos. In fact, he encourages it. But when a conman wanders into Whisper Ridge, he quickly learns that cheating only works when Loki isn’t already ahead of you.

💚I was inspired a couple of months ago to write something about Loki in the Wild West and here it is! So, welcome to Whisper Ridge. Enjoy this peek into my little what-if.

Whether you’ve been here since the beginning, took a chance on a new author somewhere along the way, or found this story after it was complete, thank you. I appreciate you more than I can say.

This may be the end of this saga, but it’s not the end of Loki and Gwen, and definitely not the end of the twins. I have more stories across different timelines to edit and share, and plenty more still waiting to be written.

If you enjoyed their dynamic, I’d love for you to check out my other works.

I’m continuing to post new episodes of The Avengers Office, a mockumentary-style series about life and work inside Avengers Tower.

Next week, Welcome to Whisper Ridge, a Sheriff Loki Western AU where “accidents” tend to happen to those who cross the law. (This one may turn into a series. We’ll see!)

And next month, The Perfect Heir, a look into Latveria, centered on Doctor Doom and his brilliantly logical daughter, Evelyn.

Thank you again for reading, for sticking with this story, and for being part of it in any way.

I have other stories posted if you like their dynamic and I have more coming—some with Gwen, some without. I hope you stick around for the fun! 💛💚

Sheriff Loki doesn’t care about your gold—he just wants his town to stay quiet. But when a slick stranger from Missouri decides to test his luck at a high-stakes poker table, he’s about to find out that some games are rigged by powers far older than the West.

After a short break, chapter 28 is posted! Thanks for your patience while I dealt with some personal stuff. This story is wrapping up and I have some more fun one coming soon. 💚💛

As Gwen approached the table, one warrior—a broad-shouldered Asgardian with a braided beard and a tankard the size of her head—grinned at her. "Ah! The Midgardian!" he boomed, sloshing mead onto the table as he gestured enthusiastically. "Come, share a drink with us! Tell us of your battles!"

His companion, a leaner but no less imposing figure with scars tracing his jawline, smirked and poured her a fresh goblet of spiced wine. "Unless," he added, eyes flicking to Loki's cape still draped around her shoulders, "you're otherwise occupied?"

The first warrior followed his gaze and let out a booming laugh. "Ah! So that's why the Silvertongue was in such a hurry!"

Gwen opened her mouth to protest, but before she could, a familiar voice cut through the noise.

"Oh, do go on," Loki purred, materializing beside her like a shadow given form. His fingers brushed the small of her back as he leaned in, his smile sharp. "I adore gossip."

The warriors stiffened, their laughter dying abruptly.

Loki's grin widened. "No? Pity." He plucked the goblet from Gwen's hand and took a sip, his eyes never leaving theirs. "Run along, then. The lady and I have matters to discuss."

The warriors exchanged glances. Then, with muttered excuses, vanished into the crowd.

Loki sighed, handing Gwen back her wine. "Honestly," he said, "you'd think I'd just stabbed someone."

Gwen arched her brow. "Have you?"

Loki's smile was all innocence. "Not recently."

Tony and Bruce decide the building needs to be optimized for efficiency. Making coffee is a messy task.

Avengers movie night. What do you think they would watch?

Still a work in progress but I couldn't resist playing a little.

I've been sick for the last week but I got chapter 26 edited and posted.
