Blue by StarTrekFanWriter (R)

Posting the first of my last two recs for the month, because if the oncoming storm (*gratuitous Doctor Who reference*) hits as it's predicted to do, I'm not going to have any power/'net connection for the rest of October *g*

Fandom: AVENGERS
Pairing: Loki/Darcy
Length: 98,323 words

Why this must be read:

Author's summary: Whenever Loki shows up it means Darcy's life is in flux. That doesn't mean she's unhappy to see him.

"Blue" starts shortly after the Avengers (2012) movie, with Darcy - from Thor - assigned to watch over a magically-depleted Loki under what is, in effect, house arrest. The story of their developing relationship - let’s call it friendship, at least at the start - spans decades, during which Darcy ages and Loki...doesn’t. And then the story develops a plot!

Very insightful and smart, with a Loki who's a great mixture of movie and comic canons and a really wonderful Darcy.
