#god!loki

Thanks for the tags, @elodiah and @thosegayoldmen! Here’s a snippet from the Child of Thanos AU I’m theoretically working on.

Loki stepped in front of Mobius, the slight tensing on the variant’s legs alerting him a sliver of a moment before the variant launched himself at the transparent cell panel door. Mobius hissed, startled or empathetic Loki couldn’t say, and Loki heard the Time Stick flare to life. The variant slammed his body into the barrier, panting and eyes open wide enough to see the whites around them entirely.

“Let me out,” he growled. “Let me out! You saw what I did to those who tried to jail me before. You saw what fate could await you. LET ME OUT!”

"What are you the God of, Loki?" 

That had been the question since he came into being. 

Loki did not know what came before that. He was not born, as other Gods were, and he did not appear from the rocks or sprout from the earth as plenty more had done. One moment the universe had existed without Loki, and the next moment Loki had existed within in it. 

He had been a child then but with the knowledge of eternity flowing through him. He had not been bitter, he had not yet been cunning, but he had known that all Gods need a purpose. 

He had known that they needed followers. 

Loki hunted for his followers. He crept into houses and walked the length of fields, whispering into the ears of mortals who never heard him. He followed their armies to battle and appeared at their burial mounds and still no-one saw him, no-one heard him. 

"But what are you the God of? What do you say to them?" the Mother Goddess asked. 

She held Loki in her arms when he had exhausted himself, carrying him to the home of the Gods. 

"I tell them to worship me," Loki said, curling into her arms, growing stronger from her warmth. 

She might have adopted him then. She was fond of Loki, of all children and Loki could have become the God of foundlings and adopted heirs if she had, but her husband, the Father God, found Loki and chased him from their realm, casting him back to earth.

"You are nothing, small god, too unimportant to be the God of anything. You will fade away," he promised Loki. 

Loki lived then in the forest. He was not one of the animal Gods. They were hardly Gods at all, more the embodiment of concepts - prey, predator, life and death. Loki took care to stay out of their way for he was not as they were.

They were primitive, small minded. Loki contained the whole universe inside him. 

For many years that was Loki's life - sneaking into the home of the Gods, being cared for by the mother Goddess and shooed away by her husband, then returning to his forest home. 

He made a nest of twigs and moss, slept there and waited for hunters or wise men to find him and worship him. Horns, curved as a goats, grew from his head. His eyes turned green as the leaves and slit like a cats. He wove himself robes of cobwebs, delicate and glittering. He drank the fresh fallen rain and ate the songbirds and grew melodious and soft-spoken. 

He lived and he waited for his followers to come, but they never did. 

Apart from one. 

One boy.

A golden -haired child who gazed upon Loki in awe, who reached out to touch him, who saw what no one else had ever seen. 

A boy named Thor who was Loki's one and only follower. 

Loki felt the flame of Thor's belief as soon as it sparked, felt the power of that belief flow into him. 

i have some!!! at long last

Answer Me- Sombraline, T, No WarningsThe knock came at the door just as Tony was about to go to sleep. He stood perfectly still for a few seconds, certain he had heard wrong, certain it had to be the wind outside that was playing tricks on his mind. For who indeed would be foolish enough to be outside tonight, in the middle of a storm wild and loud as even the Ice-Land rarely endured? Then he heard it again: three deliberate, patient knocking sounds. this was a very introspective look at loki and godhood in all honesty (note: yes i know the fic is tagged as past loki/odin. but tbh? i didnt really notice it? or anything like that at all? and once i saw that tag after i opened the tab i was actively looking for stuff like that since i knew it was gonna end up on the rec blog)

I promise myself to my God- AuthorInDistress, E, No Warnings ApplyThere’s this legend.A legend that most of the children in the village have already heard told countless of times before, around many of their campfires and odd little meetings in the church. Well. It’s a story, really, not real at all, but legend is what the elders call it, so legend it’ll be.i recced this just yesterday for another list but it fits here also, imo. hope you enjoy! (same warnings as yesterday too- threats of non-con/rape, but nothing happens)

Ghost in Amber- fullofleaves, E, Chose No WarningsTony Stark has two frivolous hobbies. The first is photography. The second is hunting ghosts. When the mysterious Loki Sharpe steps suddenly into his life, he’s presented with the perfect opportunity to combine both. He follows Loki from Buffalo, New York, to Cumberland, England, where things take a turn for the strange and he begins to wonder if he’s trapped himself in terrifying situation beyond what he can survive. A Crimson Peak AU. its not suuuuuper God!Loki, but it feels enough like that to me for it to fit

The Skeptic’s Paradox- JayBarou, T, No WarningsThere is not archeological proof of worship or active cult to Loki, and Tony finds out why during his research time. Revelations lead to meetings that lead to plans, that not humans nor aliens are meant to understand. There are two loki’s here- one god loki, one canon loki, so im counting it klfhsdf
