OK, I’ve decided to do it. Even though I already have things I should be writing… I could use the fire under my ass (expression chosen advisedly). And I have a job for next year, so consider this my handing out of cigars.
So: if you are following me, please reblog this post to enter; multiple reblogs do count as multiple entries. Likes are nice but not a commitment. Top 3 names chosen by a randomizer will win a 1000- to 2000-word fic (assuming I can keep to the word limit), Loki-centric gen or Thorki, written to a Satanic theme of their choice.
Satanic themes might include: incubi/succubi, fallen angels, recasting of some character as a devil/tempter/Mephistophelean bargaining figure… someone could take me up on that idea I had a while back about the Lucifer of Liège. AUs are the most natural way to go, but canon-compliant and canon-divergent are fine – with the proviso that I won’t write anything set during or after Infinity War, not least because I have no idea how much of it will stick.
I put all the rebloggers’ names in a randomizer and here they are:
Another one of my ideas is Goethe’s Faust AU, with Loki as Mephistopheles. I know that Thor’s character is very different from Faust’s, so don’t worry about Faust and just write Thor as himself.
To summarise the original story shortly (using a summary from Wikipedia, because I am awful at summarising):“ Faust makes a pact with Mephistopheles who promises him all his soul can wish for: fine living, gold, women and honour, and signs it with his blood. He hope that magic will tell him everything about life, however in the end Mephistopheles wins his bet.”
P.S. I know that Faust got saved by God in the end, but I wouldn’t mind to see a version where Mephistopheles wins altogether if you think a different ending works better for the narrative.
That is good. I like that a lot. One Thor/Loki Faust AU, coming up… not too long from now, I hope.
I jumped ship from Tumblr and this is where I landed. I'm a philosophy postdoc (INTJ, she/her) with a serious thing for Tom Hiddleston as Loki. Sometimes I even write fanfiction about it. Mostly Loki and Thor/Loki (sometimes NSFW), some miscellaneous Hiddles, MCU (Steve/Tony or "Superhusbands" is my secondary ship), occasional Cherik, Game of Thrones, LOTR, Whedonverse... whatever catches my fancy, really.
