author’s summary: The Avengers go to see a revival of Star-Spangled Man! directed by Darren Nichols.


Crossovers are kind of a hit and miss prospect for me - a lot of them just leave me facepalming. But when they work, I adore them. Which is probably obvious, given that I’ve now recced two in two days.

This one’s probably funnier if you’ve seen Slings & Arrows - and if you haven’t, you should go do that right now, especially if you have any love of or experience in theater - but even if you haven’t, the concept of everyone attending a musical based (very loosely) on Steve’s old life is amusing enough. A fun bit of fluff, good if you need a giggle or two!

author’s summary: Thor has never wanted anything to do with the Mage-Templar war, until the Templars come to take Loki away. But this is Loki, and Loki always has a plan.


Link to story

When I saw this story on AO3, I knew it had to be my first rec. Crossing over my two current favorite fandoms? Sold! 

Deeply AU for both fandoms, but in a way that fits both the characters and the DA lore; because clearly, if Loki is playing Bethany to Thor’s Hawke - even playing Loki as sympathetic - things are going to be a little bit different. The way the author has placed these characters in Kirkwall feels authentic, and makes me want to know more about how they’d fit into the DA storyline. Definitely worth a read if you’re a fan of both!
