MCU Gen: Fic, fanart & recs

It starts with a mistake, a still-mysterious failure that drives Loki from his stolen throne far earlier than expected.  In desperation, he flees down impossible roads through unknown time and space to find a new fate he can shape for his own.  A life outside the destiny prepared for him - but to do that, he finds himself among humans that ultimately become the most unexpected of allies: The Agents of SHIELD, led by a man he once killed.

The SHIELD Codex is a canon-flavor genfic series with a slightly altered timeline (due to the interference of the Jotun Space Wizard), ongoing since May 2014.  Each multi-chapter fic is a contained story often meant to evoke the style of an episode or short arc of the Agents of SHIELD series and may include comic book characters written in MCU style.  The shorts between fics are a little more varied, but are generally vignette-flavor backstory or tie-in events.

All stories are rated PG-13/Teen, in line with the series and films.  Some language, moderate comic book violence.  Horror themes where noted.
