sure!

firstly, there’s nothing said or implied that there’s a “fixed point” jane resets to, never mind that fixed point being quentin entering brakebills. secondly, the timelines are implied to be pretty different from each other (jane doesn’t know where quentin is at the start of the pilot; she’s genuinely curious when she says “why, did you kill him?” re: alumni guy; she’s surprised he’s a good liar (1x02 when he has emerson’s alloy in his pocket); fogg isn’t able to guard against quentin slipping him truth serum in 1x12; ember doesn’t recognize quentin and julia on sight in 1x13, etc).

thirdly, there is the big detail of zelda saying that margo’s name was janet in another timeline. yeah, it’s a fun wink to those in the know about the books, but it’s no different from the rest of the show’s “worldbuilding” (the show isn’t really interested in worldbuilding and tbh that’s fine) so i take it as canon.

in 1x01 jane says “it’s starting” which could be about the beast starting to target brakebills, but that in combination with “you do have an eye on our boy, don’t you?” means that the time loop likely started a while ago. (if “it’s starting” is about the loop itself, it implies jane doesn’t actually have much control over it.)

Related question: do I have to read the Grisha Trilogy before starting the Six of Crows books?

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

hmm, you know, i don't have a ton, largely i think because not a lot of S5 compliant fic has been written. but i have a few:

I DON’T FIT INTO MOST BEDS WHICH IS TROUBLING AT TIMES!!

A hell of a lot of it is behind a paywall, and on top of that you need to pay for digital editions of the different books to access their content even if you have physical copies
