Loki/Tony Stark

:You might be looking for Frost-Iron, a tumblr blogger.
Loki/Tony Stark is a non-canonical pairing in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki appears in the Thor movies, Tony in the Iron Man movies, and they both appear in The Avengers (2012), Avengers: Infinity War (2018), and Avengers: Endgame (2019). The pairing is often based on the defenestration scene in The Avengers (2012), where shippers sense a great deal of sexual tension and feel the couple is having eye sex, and/or on the assumption that they're both morally grey characters, liars, showmen and hedonists.

* Beauty From Pain by Frostiron_OTP. WIP. First extended Omega!Tony fic in the Loki/Tony fandom. Heavy with non-con and plot. "When Loki forcefully claims Tony as his Omega, Tony's life steadily gets worse from the moment it all began. In perfect accordance to any Omega-Alpha-bonding laws, Loki is completely in his right to keep Tony and all his possessions, which makes a 'rescue' a criminal offence; despite just who it is, Tony is bonded to. But, as Loki's brutal treatment slowly erodes Tony's self-worth, things aren't what they seem and there's a mystery to this house that seems connected to Omega's and - mainly - to the both of them as well.[Non-con scenes now over.]" As of July 23,2020, he author is currently writing under the pseud

But first, they need to survive. (2012-2013)
* , an Alpha/Beta/Omega fic by AMidnightDreary: 'When Loki's suppressants fail, he registers to be paired with a companion during his next rut. It's a lot easier than finding an actual mate, which he's already given up on, anyway. He doesn't expect much to come of it except the very-much needed relief and a few days of casual fun. He certainly doesn't expect to fall in love, but it just kinda happens, anyway.' (2022)
* Coveted by Plumadesatada. Ongoing WIP fic. "The kid is nibbling on his pen now; all soft skin, white teeth and concentration. Loki bites back a groan and squirms in his chair, feeling rather too hot. He looks down at his watch desperately.Fifteen more minutes left. He sighs. Loki is twenty-eight. The kid is thirteen. He shouldn't be feeling like this."

And with more and more incidents in each of the realms occurring when they shouldn't, the both of them land on a journey neither had imagined themselves to be in.
