Summary
"Loki," she says, "You are so special. I wish Odin could see it. Don't lose yourself trying to be someone you're not."
"No one likes me as me, Mother."
A sudden soberness comes over her. "The right person will love you for everything you are. You just have to give them time."
Loki scoffs. "How much time? Forever."
Or Loki falls in love with the enemy. It goes about as well as you expect.

Summary
"This isn't real! You hear me, Loki! None of this is real! Give it up! This isn't real!"
But the God pushes him out. It's like the point in the bubble Mobius was shoving at bounces back. He's locked out. And Loki goes on as if nothing happened. Mobius throws down the mic. The poor thing cracks and metal parts go everywhere. He leans on the console and takes deep angry breaths.
O.B.s voice is gentle but terrified. "Mobius?"
"Get me in there," Mobius hisses, resolving to become exactly what Loki is making him. "Get me in there. Now."
It's time to be the villain.
Or
Loki creates his own little world so he can have a happy ending. Mobius disagrees.

Summary
"Is he really worth it?" B asks, voice tentative, "After all that's happened is it really worth it to bring another Loki into this. Especially one this broken?"
Mobius stares at the tree, feels the painful ache in his side. He shakes his head, "This isn't about me, B. This is about him. He deserves a better ending than what he's got. I'm going to make sure that ending happens, even if it kills me."
Or Loki is a child of Thanos doomed by the narrative he was forced into. Good thing there are those who don't believe in the narrative.

Summary
Mobius doesn't want to die. Of course he doesn't. But the universe doesn't give him pleasantries like that. It never does.
(AKA they missed something when Mobius came back from the loom and now he's paying for it.)

Summary
They don't say ‘I love you’ but they do say ‘you okay?’ and it means the same thing.
When the Loom melts down and damages the TVA, Loki is sent slipping uncontrollably through time.
Our TVA family finds themselves back on their timelines, reset to their original Nexus Events, but with a twist- no one gets the memories of their lives back.
Loki must find his family and bring them together to rebuild the TVA and prevent Multiversal War.That is, if they don’t fall in love with life on the timeline first.
This work is complete. The main story takes place between Chapters 1-41. Everything else is bonus content.
Extended Edition Release Date: September 2026
The goal of this story is to provide content for a community who misses the TVA family. It's an extreme slow burn, deep dive into the dynamics between Loki, Mobius, Brad, Casey, Sylvie, OB, Hunter B-15, and Victor Timely.(Optional:) To maintain proper pacing, the recommended way to consume this fic is one chapter at the same time every week like a TV show, the same way it was written.
(Loki, Mobius, and Brad centric, mostly in their POV. More tags in notes)

Summary
mostly post-falcon & the winter soldier, mostly focused on sam/bucky and also their relationships with other people around them/outsider pov gossip. fics are a mix of texts/interviews/social media/buzzfeed articles/in-universe fanfiction/normal fics.
everything is obsessively formatted - the texts will literally look like texts on your screen. there's a lot of snark energy, bisexual energy, new york references, and end notes that could be much shorter but are not. it's a series rather than one fic because sometimes i am not linear and it's easier for all of us if i just slot something in earlier in the series than change the chapter order.
idk, mostly my goal with this series is for people who like sam, bucky, sam/bucky, or the mcu overall to just have a good time. i love comments/kudos, but if it's making your day better/making you feel a little more seen, that's really what matters. <3
