    Summary

    “So what if I ate the cheeseburger?” Tony shouts, throwing a wrench at Loki’s head. The bastard dodges it easily as he stalks closer. “That doesn’t mean I belong to you!”

    “Oh, not to me,” Loki says lowly, a smile like honey slowly spreading its way across his face. “But with me? Surely you’ve heard of Persephone.”

    “A cheeseburger isn’t some fucking mystical pomegranate, you smirking lunatic.” It isn’t, it just isn’t. Not even close. "You aren't even Greek!" he adds, throwing another wrench which is dodged just as easily.

    Loki spreads his hands wide, posing like the showman he is. “I think you’ll find that a pomegranate symbolizes the fruit of the dead. Your cheeseburger, made of dead flesh, was topped with fruit. It’s close enough for the symbolism to bind.”

    “Ah-hah! There’s no fucking fruit on a cheeseburger,” Tony says triumphantly, finger pointing accusingly at Loki. “I fucking win, no going back to crazy town with you. I stay here in my workshop, and you fucking leave before I call the Avengers.”

    “Oh Stark,” Loki murmurs, almost affectionately. “A tomato is a berry, you ignorant fool.”

    Bookmarker's Notes

    The summary did not prepare me for the journey this fic has been. This was an absolute masterpiece, it was so beautifully written and developed Loki so well. Will definitely be one that I return to! <3

    Summary

    For his crimes, Loki’s punishment began in a lonely and endless winter. For Tony’s sacrifice, his imprisonment began with a rescue.

    A story of ugliness and beauty, inside and out, and learning what the word ‘monster’ really means.

    Summary

    [Post Season-2]

    “Hypothetically speaking, of course,” The Corinthian begun, clearing his throat with a very human affectation. “If a creature of the Dreaming were to want to… formalize a certain rapport with a human. You know, a rapport that goes beyond the usual professional courtesy of assisting said human from being harmed by various supernatural threats. What would be the proper procedure?”

    Lucienne, forever patient, had simply peered at him over her spectacles. “I do believe this all has to do with your relationship with Johanna Constantine, doesn't it?” she’d said, cutting right to the heart of it. “And let me assure you, your attempts at subtlety are about as effective as a fog horn in a library.”

    OR

    In which The Corinthian asks Johanna Constantine out on a date.

    Summary

    “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” Iwaizumi said, the slight puffs of breath dissipating into the air after every word.

    What he had experienced as a kid was real, what he had experienced today was real, Oikawa was involved, Iwaizumi was involved, and they were in over their head.

    Special Agent Iwaizumi Hajime, FBI rookie, is partnered with Special Agent Oikawa Tooru, FBI hotshot who harbors an intense and forbidden fascination with X-Files—cold cases involving unexplained occurrences, relegated to the basement never to be seen again. That is, until Oikawa and Iwaizumi get their hands on one that doesn't seem so cold.

    No previous knowledge of the x-files required!
