Description
*** Working on an Big Update *** Salience (the quality of being particularly noticeable or important) Stranded on Earth due to an unforeseen circumstances, the renegade god, Loki, finds himself held in S.H.I.E.L.D. custody at a facility known as the Raft. Little does anyone know that his continued presence on Earth has begun a chain reaction that, if allowed to grow, will change the fate of the universe. As the ragtag group of acquaintances known as the Avengers recover from the Battle of New York, secrets come to light, allegiances are revealed, and blossoming friendships are tested. All this begs the question; what is the cause of such a change and what is the cost? Author's Note: As an avid reader of fanfiction, I've often come across a story trope which I find quite interesting. A 'what if' scenario revolving around Loki somehow remaining on Earth after his defeat at the hands of the newly formed Avengers. From my time spent reading these stories, I've seen that many follow the genre of hurt/comfort through to the same conclusion. And I mused; what would I write when presented with the same scenario? The Avengers are not going to start off as friends. There's going to be infighting. It's going to be messy. This is not going the way you think. Best be prepared. This isn't a story about redemption and found family.
