Title: Prophecies by wegoodandevilthings
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Thor, Loki, Frigga, Odin
Summary: "How Thor and Loki became the gods of what they are."
Word Count: 1782
Why I Rec This Fic: Happy and supportive family feels. Nice world building.
Thor encouraged any and all godhoods that his little brother suggested. "You'd make a wonderful God of Forests," she overheard him say once, their two heads together as they looked through a book. "I'll make sure all your trees grow a lot," he said very solemn, firm in the belief that this was his responsibility, either as God of Fertility or maybe simply as Loki's brother. She loved him for it.
Title: A Love Like Ice by MagicalGirlHell
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Loki & Odin, Hela & Odin
Odin, Loki, Frigga, Thor, Hela
Summary: "Knee-deep in snow (and jotun blood), Odin is visited by Frigga's illusion. She's given birth — but not to the twins her scrying foretold. Grief compounds grief as the battered king mourns a child that never was alongside the one that betrayed him."
Word Count: 2930
Why I Rec This Fic: The writing style is beautiful. This take on Odin is very much up my alley, I like people trying to be good (at a relationship in this case but also in general) (and failing at it) a lot.
Mjolnir was a judge’s gavel in her hands. Unworthy, her verdict. Unworthy. In Hela’s eyes, none but her beloved Asgard could ever be worthy.
“I could have done it, father,” Hela screamed at him. “I could have done it. For you.” Her rage was a hail of blades and a tide of blood.
“— for all of us!” Loki cried to him. The blades were turned against himself, and the tides of blood were his own.
Title: Pillars of Salt and Sand by Lizardbeth
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Loki, Thor,
Loki & Odin, Loki & Frigga, Thor & Odin, Thor & Loki,
Summary: Loki as Odin in Asgard. "He has everything he wanted. But the price is too high."
Word Count: 3631
Why I Rec This Fic: Mostly love the exploration of Odins perspective (though Lokis eyes) and the bits about Asgardian politics but there is also a lot of love between them all and you can feel it (it is of cause also complicated and not happy/functional really).
"Father!" Thor rushed forward a few steps. "Your hand!"
Loki glanced down. He'd kept the comb in his hand and had clenched it so tightly the prongs had pierced his flesh and he was bleeding.
"It's nothing," he said, turning his shoulder to keep Thor back. "An old man's grief."
But Thor had glimpsed it. "That is the comb Loki made for her?"
"It is crudely made," Loki said. "But she loved it so."
He opened his hand. The previously flawless, cream-colored horn was now marred with an ugly maroon splotch as the blood droplets sank into the porous finish. So I ruin all precious things I touch.
Title: i am lost at sea, i am a shipwreck in a storm by anotherdirtycomputer
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Loki
Thor, Frigga, Odin
Thor & Loki, Frigga & Loki, Odin & Loki
Summary: "Her lungs are full of water and she yet breathes."
Warnings: Mental Illness - Depression,
Additional Tags: Genderfluid Loki (She/Her Pronouns)
Word Count: 935
Why I Rec This Fic: The poetry style of mental illness description is not quite my forte, or how i expierince it, but I think it fits the world and with that the characters of Asgard and how they would talk and think about it. What I love about this fic is that Loki struggling as she does (i relate to the anger problem), has a support system including helpful therapy, and more positive potrayel of that is something I think I (and maybe others too) need.
Title: By Any Other Name by thejerseydevile, unorigelnal (jayburding)
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Loki,
Frigga, Odin, Thor
Summary: Daemon AU: Lokis daemon still hasn´t settled for a form or a name.
Word Count: 977
Why I Rec This Fic: Daemon AUs are great, full of interesting ways to characterication. Also love the mythology reference in the names.
She slips her names as easily as she slips her forms. Hlín and Tanngrisnir cling to theirs as if a particular random collection of syllables is so intrinsic to their identity that if they lost it they would lose themselves.
Title: Within It We Are Nameless by sentientcitizen
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Vili, Loki, Thor, Sif, Odin, Frigga
Vili & Loki, Odin & Loki, Odin/Frigga, Thor/Sif, Frigga & Loki, Loki & Thor
Summary: "The childhood of Loki Odinson, through his uncle’s eyes."
Word Count: 16216
Why I Rec This Fic: I love the way the world building in this (mostly Asgardian idenity, and Asgardian gender idenity/roles), and the way the complicated family relationship is always (for all good it does) meant as love.

Why I Rec This Fic: Friggas has her own kind of strenght, that contrast with how Odin conceptualize it.
Title: Cracks in the Illusion by awanderingbard
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Loki, Frigga
Summary: "A nightmare makes Loki revert to his true form, and Frigga tries to soothe him without cracking the illusion of his birth completely."
Word Count: 2062
“Do not touch me,” Loki said, as her hand reached for his. He pulled himself into a tighter ball. “I may hurt you. It might spread.” She could feel cold radiating from him. He was always cool, but now she could feel the ice in him. “I don't know how to turn back.”
“I am not afraid,” Frigga told him.

Title: Villt Vindur by Ffwydriad
Fandom: Thor
Character/Pairing: Frigga, Odin, Hela, Idunn
Summary: "Of Vanaheim, and the fall of Hela, and the rise of Frigga, queen of Asgard."
Word Count: 5971
Warning: "[This] focuses heavily on themes of imperialism, colonialism, power dynamics, and racism, and therefore may include some triggering content. For the most part it only scratches the surface on these themes.
The Vanir of the movies are shown to be Asian-inspired, specifically Mongolian from the one shot of Hogun's village. Therefore Frigga can be read as white or racebent to being Asian, left ambiguous. The themes of racism are based on the Vanir-Aesir-Jotun distinction and not necessarily on skin color, but given that the Aesir have all, as yet, been portrayed as white (before you ask, Heimdall is Vanir, not that it actually ever comes up) so I'm not denying that's likely a factor. There won't be any derisive remarks based on appearances, however."
Why I Rec This Fic: This is one of the fics that feel clever, I feel like I can see the author having given the world and characters though, and I like that.
Frigga here is definitly more then some motherly saint and I find it great to read and very in line with how I can see the character. Odin too is nailed.
"We are stolen goods, after all. Royal hostages." She bites her lip, spits blood, and curses Odin's name. "A curse, a curse upon all Asgard," she whispers. "They are to end in fire, as we have, and let their gilded halls fall, as ours have done as well."
Frigga can feel the magic here, can feel how much her cousin has poured into this curse. If she had the skill of prophecy, she wonders what new declaration there would be. Wonders if the end of Asgard would now be foretold in fire.
"What now?" she asks, as the magic settles, the curse as solid as any object.
"We live, I suppose," Idunn says. "What else can we do?"
and the follow up, less politics, instead nice Odin/Frigga interaction, that feels like affection/love (respect for eachothers different skillsets; seeing how their humor plays on eachother) but also loaded with forshadowing, nice magic concept that fits the characters and themes of the movie.

Summary: “After the losing her son during childbirth, Frigga cannot find room in her heart for the frost giant babe that Odin has brought home from the war.“
Word Count: 9123
Warnings: death of a baby during childbirth (off screen), postpartum depression, grieving the loss of a baby, and discussion of killing a baby.
Why I Rec This Fic: It´s written with so much Kindness (i am not sure if this is the right word, for it, more like kindness mixed with understanding/or the trying to understand) about Frigga, and this difficult situation and I love it.
