    There are certainly some lovely comics images, from the time when Doom and Loki were (briefly) allied. Of course you've got to ignore the hell out of canon, before you get anything sexual out of there, but I've seen fandoms build pairings out of less. And I've got to say that Doom's got a brain on him, and a lot of personal complexities. I like throwing his brain up against Tony's or Bruce's, and I love taking a cruel/manipulative Loki, and turning him loose on some of Doom's personal issues. ...Reed Richards on the other hand... I just can't get that guy to connect up with his own physical body enough to pair him with anybody besides Susan (and he still seems lucky as hell to have her).

    Well with Thorki, it helps like hell that this is AU. Because some places where I've never experienced what the character is experiencing, I go to what I did experience at that age, and I excerpt the bits that fit with the situation. With canon situations, if I try to write Thorki... Well I think I managed it convincingly once, in a co-write I did, but first I had to throw all the good reasons why it wouldn't work at the couple, and then I had to find reasons to explain why this was an exception, and it would work anyway. We've gotten a lot of kudos on that story, so I guess I succeeded in making it believable... I think we've gotten more kudos on the TonyxLokixBruce story we wrote around the same time though, unsurprisingly, because I do a better job on couples I actually like.

      You've tried to explain DoomxLoki before but except for powerplay between the two I don't really see much happening. But that's alright, right? :)

      I really liked that story.. wished for more 'relationship' if you like but you explained it and it does make sense but one's free to wish.. ;)

        Oh yeah, it is all about what works for you with these things ...unless you're wrapping your brain around someone else's pairing for the sake of a good story at any rate.

        And I remember your commenting about that other one, yeah. I also remember that I've tried to at least look at the hard-R/soft NC17 version of what goes on between all the other couples I've written since then, because of that comment. Because unless there's a reason why the story shouldn't go there, it only seems fair to the readers to take it there for a while.

          I was perfectly fine without the NC17 stuff ;) but unless they actually said it, it felt a bit 'Are they or aren't they?' at times. Sort of unsure (could be just me. Could've been super obvious to others, of course)

            Naw, I think it felt super-obvious to us, because we were the ones plotting it. You've usually got a pretty good nose for stuff.
