Chaos War by Astolat (AO3 rated Explicit)

Pairing: Loki/Thor
Length: 34,000 words

Why this must be read: Another set of fascinating 'aliens' -- using that word at its most literal -- though this time we know and will ever know next to nothing about them -- threaten to overrun our heroes' home. All the honour and bravery and goodness in the world cannot defeat them, so perhaps it's time to try a little lying, cheating, backstabbing street smarts. Can Thor trust Loki to save Asgard? Or is it all some diabolical trick? Well. It's Loki, so trickery is a given, but the pleasure of the journey is watching Thor learn to trust and maybe even admire him. It's a lot of fun watching the rug get constantly pulled out from under him, but there's also just enough horror and despair to make the feeling of being under siege real.

As someone who has read this story (and stalked the author for some time ^^) I second this rec! The story is detailed with a slow build between Thor and Loki, with Thor being stubborn and Loki being....Loki.

Thank you for reccing this. I've read a lot of her work, but for some reason skipped over this one. Ugh, she's the most amazing Loki writer imo. It was beyond amazing.
