Summary
Crowley never remembered why he hated the fourteenth century. He knew it was a terrible time. After Armageddon, now happy with his angel and their growing family and friends, the last thing he expects to have to do is revisit those long-suppressed memories.
If you are not here for non-consensual snake sex but would like to find out about this story, please skip chapter 1, and be advised that I will mark chapters with flashbacks in the notes at the top.
NOT S2 OR S3 COMPLIANT. Certain small events might exist, but none of the major plot of seasons 2 or 3 will be present within this story.

Summary
After subduing the Jotunn king and claiming the Casket of Ancient Winters, Odin found one last treasure. A Jotunn infant, abandoned in a temple to die. Sympathy and a hint of compassion moved him to take the child, a natural shapeshifter, back to Asgard as his own.
He made plans for the boy. Political plans that would benefit Asgard and Jotunheim. But a good father would eventually set those plans aside and focus on what was best for his son.
Unfortunately, Odin had always been a better king than he was a father. And as Loki grew, he never forgot his purpose for the child. It was what was best for Asgard. Even if the boy would have to repeatedly pay the price.

Place My Gun Upon The Table (in blood I draw the line) by CloseToSomethingReal
Fandoms: Marvel Cinematic Universe, Loki (TV 2021)

Summary
"The TVA's name was not its best feature by any stretch of the imagination. The Transitional Vampire Agency was a name chosen to seem more innocent on purpose for the inevitable day that knowledge of vampires grew more widespread and naive people worried about the welfare of the creatures. They 'helped vampires transition to a new state.'
Specifically, they forcibly transitioned vampires from a state of undead to a state of true death."
Mobius spent most of his life defending the world from an unseen threat, stalking them in the darkness, hunting them like animals. He was prepared to spend the rest of his life doing the same thing.
But following a doctrine is so much easier when you don't know the person on the other side. Now, hunting down a vampire with a face he knows - someone he once cared very deeply about - Mobius must struggle to find the line between truth and lies, before it's too late.
TVA agents are dropping like flies, the pressure is rising, and at the centre of it all is the one vampire Mobius isn't prepared to face.

The Best Part Of Believe (Is The Lie) by CloseToSomethingReal
Fandoms: Loki (TV 2021), Marvel Cinematic Universe

Summary
When the Tesseract fell at Loki's feet, he was not one to allow the opportunity pass him by. He escaped from custody, creating a branched timeline where he tried to earn Thanos's forgiveness with the Tesseract. There was none. Only suffering at his hands and later the Frost Giants eager for vengeance.
Three years later, Mobius arrived to collect a broken Loki for a very specific purpose. To help track down another Variant of himself for the benevolent TVA. And after years of torture and abuse, even the smallest kindness was a gift.
Mobius saved him and Loki gave him unquestioning loyalty and trust in return. He would do anything not to lose that kindness. Whatever Mobius asked of him.

Summary
It's sometime later, still dark or maybe dark again, when the door to his flat opens. He wakes, startles, then whimpers. Every tiny movement feels like the knives are still hacking away at him. Where was their cold efficiency then? No, they'd wanted him to suffer. They'd succeeded.
"Oh." That voice again, and in the room this time. Crowley would weep, but he's not sure when he last stopped. "Oh," Aziraphale says again, "oh, Crowley."
"They took them," Crowley moans, pitiful even to his own ears. "They took my wings."

Summary
"You're going to be the first of many new things, kiddo."
Apparently talking to one's gravid stomach was something humans did. Couldn't be much different from screaming at houseplants, and no more difficult.(A random assortment of POVs following Aziraphale and Crowley as they prepare to welcome - and eventually welcome - a new addition to their family)
