Story Title: Avengers Academy: Friendship Is Magic
Fandom: Avengers Academy (game)
Link(s): AO3
Summary: Loki is simultaneously too prideful and too insecure to be a good co-conspirator, but that doesn't mean Amora can't find a use for him--as long as she can make sure he's on her side. Unfortunately for her, the other students may have already beaten her to it. (Aside from the title, this has exactly nothing to do with My Little Pony. I just realized it was appropriate and then couldn't resist.)
Warnings: emotional manipulation, some blood, references to medical experimentation
Characters: Loki, Amora the Enchantress, Hank Pym, Tony Stark, Janet van Dyne, Kamala Khan; mentions of other characters
Pairings: potentially Loki/Natasha if you squint, but otherwise gen
When I Started: Probably a couple months after the game itself started, so...I dunno, a little over a year ago? The sad thing is that really isn't bad for my WIPs. (On the other hand, this was supposed to be relatively short.)
How I Lost My Shit: I feel like this story's been almost finished for ages, but then every time I would go back and try to finish it, I'd realize I had more to do than I thought, and I keep having too many other things to focus on because of deadlines, so this kept getting pushed down the priority list. Plus the longer I went without finishing it, the weirder I felt about it, because there have been about a million events since then with tons of new characters and various plot developments, when my story was still basically stuck in the Before Times when nearly all we had was the main storyline. (Hahaha, main storyline, remember when we had that?)
How I Finished My Shit: Despite the above, this fic's been a little higher on my priority list than others because it's for a type of mobile game that doesn't have a hugely long life expectancy to begin with, and various developments (mostly, events that increasingly push players to spend huge amounts of money, and players' frustration with that shift) made me realize I really, really needed to get my fic posted before the already-small fandom imploded and/or the game itself went away. WIP Big Bang was the final push I needed to do that.
