thorki_bigbangHi everyone! Here are the summaries for this year's Thorki BIG Bang!
1.
Title: Lightbringer
Warnings: Depictions of abuse (not by Thor) and trauma stemming from abuse
Tags: Murder Mystery, Jotun Loki, Thor and Loki Are Not Related, Abuse, Angst, Hurt/Comfort, Recovery, Slow Burn
Summary:
Thor Odinson has been living a life of exile on Midgard for the past fifteen years. When news arrives of his brother and father’s deaths, Thor must not only take up the mantle of kingship, but also marry his late brother’s widow, a Jotun shapeshifter named Loki. As Thor and Loki come to know each other, the mystery of Odin and Tyr’s deaths looms large over them. Left unsolved, it has the power to tear them and their realms apart.
"You are the king now, Radiance.”
“Not quite,” Thor said, frowning, “but even a king knows better than to anger the steward of his abode.”
He turned on his heel and began to walk back towards the house.
“There is another thing, Radiance,” Sigyn said, catching up with him.
That title was beginning to wear upon him. Thor gritted his teeth and inclined his head.
“There is the matter of your wedding.”
2.
Title: An echo in the bone
Warnings: No warnings apply
Tags: modern-au, reincarnation, major character death, but like not permanent, which kinda comes with the reincarnation thing, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of suicide, lots of deaths, memory loss, returning memories, love through different lifetimes, demi-gods, trees, lots of trees, sibling incest, magic curses
Summary:
When the handsome stranger he meets in a broom closet at a gala tells him that not only have they met before, but they are also lovers from a different lifetime, Loki is pretty convinced that he’s been fucked by a complete lunatic (in more than one way).
But when he starts having flashbacks of their different encounters through time, Loki finds it harder and harder not to believe him.
Who is this strange man, and why is it that every meeting ends with tragedy?
And what can they do to stop this endless circle of death and rebirth?
3.
Title: Kalopsia
Warnings: Some violence, explicit sex in later chapters
Tags: Alternate Universe - No Powers, Alternate Universe - Modern Setting, Sibling Incest, The Lobster AU, Breaking up/Making up, Getting back together, Dysfunctional Family, Hurt/Comfort, Sexual tension, Angst with a happy ending
Summary:
Kalopsia (noun, uncountable). From Ancient Greek (καλοψία): the delusion of things being more beautiful than they actually are.
In a dystopian society, single people are considered second-rate citizens—they have no right to a fulfilling life if alone. They must enter into a romantic relationship within a strict timeframe of 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice. Thor becomes one of them again after Jane leaves him, and is sent to a hotel where he must find a partner within the allotted timeframe.
4.
Title: My brother’s keeper
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Tags: human au, teenage au, my sister’s keeper (movie) au, sick fic, cancer, Loki angst, Loki feels, Loki needs a million hugs, protective older siblings, Thor feels, Thor angst, Thor needs a million hugs too, Odin is not evil, neither is Frigga, but both of them can’t parent for shit, rated mature for serious health issues, trigger warnings for mentions of blood, shortness of breath, coughing, hospitals, death and chemo therapy, teenage romance, no smut
Summary:
Thor has been suffering from leukemia since infancy and Loki just so happens to be the perfect HLA match to donate blood and stem cells to keep him alive. He never complained because he loves his brother more than anything but as they get older, Thor’s cancer worsens and the tender feelings that blossom between them begin to complicate things.
They both hold themselves and their feelings back for the sake of the other but wrestling those nasty feelings of shame and guilt and disgust after they share a timid first kiss depletes Thor’s body and he begins to lose the fight against his cancer to the point where his kidneys fail and he is ready to let go. He asks Loki to refuse to donate one of his but Frigga and Odin don’t listen to him, not even when he tells their parents that they’re both scared of the surgery and that Thor simply doesn’t want to. Loki files for medical emancipation in court and wins. Thor thanks him but, as they prepare to say goodbye, a sliver of hope for a future he thought lost lights up somewhere in the distance when Loki begs him for a proper kiss and Thor is starting to have second thoughts.
5.
Title: In the Winter Woods
Warnings: major character death, dubcon, recreational drugs & alcohol, noncon drugging
Tags: Cabin in the Woods AU, horrorfic, mood whiplash, rangarok (end of the world not the movie), playing fast & loose with norse mythology, unethically liberal use of whedonspeak, thor and loki are cousins basically raised as siblings, sex pollen (of a sort), major character death (this is a mythological story; bear with me I promise), SHIELD & Avengers appear, other pairings: Stucky, Darcy/Jane, Natasha Romanoff/Maria Hill
Summary:
Loki didn’t even want to go, but here he is with his friends on a frozen mountain in the middle of nowhere, under attack by actual mythological monsters, when all they wanted to do was get away to celebrate after final exams. Somehow there’s also the sudden development that he’s having incestuous hookups with his gorgeous cousin Thor and oh—someone’s spying on them and manipulating them like puppets and it turns out it’s the literal end of the world.
6.
Title: The Serpent’s Kiss
Warnings: E-rated, fears and discussions of forced mpreg, suicidal thoughts.
Tags: Jotun!Thor, Aesir!Loki, Single-sex Jotnar, Imperialist Asgard, BAMF Thor, Shapeshifter Loki, Pining, Obsession, Loki is the equivalent of ~18, Thor is the equivalent of ~30, Political Marriage, Forced Marriage, Discussions of Forced Mpreg, Hela is the Worst, Deception, Misunderstanding, Heavy Angst, Eventual Fluff and Smut, Angst With a Happy Ending, Direwolves, Fenrir is Goodest Wolfy
Summary:
Loki is the second child of Asgard’s imperial throne, the unwanted spare who can do no right in his father Odin and sister Hela’s eyes. Thor is Jotunheim’s fiercest defender against conquest, its army general, Laufey’s first child and crown prince…and long time object of Loki’s youthful obsession. When Loki’s rash actions throw the two realms’ delicate peace negotiations into disarray, he is forced to marry the Jotun prince, leaving his future—and maybe even his very bodily autonomy—out of his control, and making a mockery of his dream of having Thor that he is determined to escape at any cost.
While Thor…he dreamed the embrace of a serpent would bring not only peace to his people, but something more.
7.
Title: What I've been looking for
Warnings: No archive warnings apply
Tags: Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, incest, shapeshifting, lies and misunderstandings, ferris wheels, kissing, feelings realization, love confessions, trips to midgard, insecurity, eventual smut, anal sex, flirting, banter, first date, oblivious idiots, happy ending
Summary:
On a visit to Midgard with his friends, Thor finds himself enchanted by a Midgardian woman he meets at a fairground. He wins her an alligator plushie at one of the booths and gets to go on a very nice date with her. When he returns home and goes to tell Loki about it, Thor finds that same alligator plushie on his brother's bed and Loki suddenly has some explaining to do.
8.
Title: Theft and Thorcery (or, the Enchanted Chocolate Pot)
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Tags: Regency but with magic, Alternate Universe - Regency, Alternate Universe - Historical, Alternate Universe - Fantasy, sibling incest, exes to lovers,
Summary:
1817, England: After years of putting it off, Thor, Marquis of Asgard, finally goes to London for the Season to find a wife and settle down. But when he stops by the Royal College of Wizards in the hopes of seeing his estranged brother Loki, he ends up entangled in a mess of thievery, sorcery, and attempted murder—all over a chocolate pot.
Featuring: dramatic encounters in the moonlit glades of Vauxhall Gardens, that awkward moment when you have to sneak into your brother/ex’s room at midnight to ask for his help after not speaking for a decade, and lots of shenanigans and subterfuge all against the backdrop of fantastical Regency Society.
9.
Title: Lovers of Strings Liberated
Warnings: Slavery; past abuse and noncon; graphic violence (towards OC minor characters; torture of a main character in flashbacks); dubcon (from aphrodisiacs); drug withdrawal; accidental incest
Tags: intersex Loki; aphrodisiacs; eggpreg; vaginal sex; oral sex; anal sex; identity shenanigans; egg laying; trauma recovery; happy ending
Summary:
Thor has been hunting slavers for decades, ever since his brother was stolen from him. Until now, even after meeting thousands of ex-slaves, he had never encountered a Jotun; never mind a runt.
Thor tries to help him find home, but his childhood memories are mostly missing. The whole situation feels off, but Thor can't just abandon him.
A sci-fi detective roadtrip.
Art preferences: I'd prefer no podfic if possible for this one because it's lengthy (estimated >3hrs speaking time), and my permission statement for them requests people to archive-lock podfics (which feels unfair for as much work)
10.
Title: Loki’s Terrible Horrible No Good Very Bad Day (title not final)
Warnings: None
Tags: arson, theft, callous disregard for any life that is not Loki’s, unnameable fluids, catcalling, peeping, lake bathing, implied infidelity, relationship drama, at least one murder, blowjobs, weird anatomy (leaning into shapeshifter Loki here), misunderstandings, Loki after getting fucked within an inch of his life: but what are we
Summary:
Cruelly ignored by Thor, who didn’t even check in before leaving him alone and unfed, Loki wanders the markets and alleys of Asgard in search of his brother. He endures uncountable trials and insults to his honor as he tracks Thor around the city, on the worst most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day of his life.
Meanwhile, Thor wonders why he’s suddenly being attacked by so many creatures and localized natural disasters while just trying to run some errands.
11.
Title: Bluebird
Warnings: No Warnings
Tags: arranged marriage, secret identities (of a sort), jotun Loki, mild racism anal sex, virginity, casual sex, thor learning how to love, angst with a happy ending, intersex loki
Summary:
When Thor is young he attends a royal dinner where he meets his intended for the first time. The two little Princes loathe each other at first sight and the evening goes to Hel because of their childish antics, not mature enough yet to understand all that is at stake and rely on the future, fruitful joining of the two of them. Due to the catastrophe of their two, and only, meetings the Princes are kept apart until their wedding day centuries later. When Thor gets the news of his imminent nuptials, he takes off to other realms, drinking and fucking his way through the last year of his freedom, dreading a life spent at the side of such a loathsome, irritating, snarking creature. There, he happens upon a Jotun unlike any he has ever seen before, a gorgeous young scholar that has nothing in common with the aggravating Prince and so, in a last act of rebellion, Thor decides to pursue and woo him, getting himself involved in a relationship that has a due date. What will he do when the time for him to return comes upon them to burst their little cozy bubble? Will Thor be able to leave behind Loki and go off to marry somebody he hates?
Art Preferences: No podfic/fanmix or moodboard
12.
Title: Set me free
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Tags: Thor AU, Jotunn Loki, Angst and Fluff and Smut, Explicit Sexual Content, Incest
Summary:
Loki has never left the palace. Centuries ago, Odin saved him as a baby and had him raised under his watch, but Loki knows he's nothing more than a prisoner in Asgard; just a secret no one outside of the palace knows about. All he has is the four walls of his rooms, his books, and his seidr.
And of course Thor, who decides to ignore all Odin's rules and give Loki everything he's been dreaming about since he was a child. Only that their secret night out that at first feels like a dream come true, soon turns into a nightmare.
For now, these summaries are just here to look at, but on November 20, 2022 (at 8 PM Manila time), this post will be opened for commenting. As soon as this post is open for commenting, the claims process will start.

1. Summaries will go up for viewing on November 18, 2022 at 8 PM Manila time.
At this point, you will not be able to claim any fics yet, but you can look at all the (anonymous) summaries and decide which fic you want.
2. Claims will open on November 20, 2022 at 8 PM Manila time. We will open this Dreamwidth post for commenting.
This is how claiming works: you comment with your top three choices and we'll give you your priority fic that hasn't been claimed yet (i.e. if your first choice has already been claimed we'll give you your second choice, and so on).

Username:
Claims by order: Fic #, Fic #, Fic #
3. Claims will work on a first come-first served basis.
4. For the first round of claims, one artist can claim only one fic.
