au where loki is a stuck-up, pretentious author who moves to an old fixer-upper in the country to get “perspective” and hires thor to do some repairs. cue loki thirsting over him for weeks and thor purposely taking his shirt off at the right moments, and loki doing embarrassingly domestic things like making him lemonade. and he gets so frustrated because his novel is supposed to be a moody drama but it’s turning into a cheesy harlequin romance & very obviously channeling his thirst for the handyman. so, naturally, they fuck to get it out of loki’s system. but then it happens again, and again, and again, and three months down the road thor still hasn’t fixed the back deck.
Headcanon: Bucky taught himself to do the cool knife flippy thing when he was a Howling Commando, bc War is long periods of boredom punctuated by brief moments of terror.
