Fic: Only Smile When I Lie

[soda-and-capes.livejournal.com]

Title: Only Smile When I Lie
Summary: OKAY, normally I pull a line from the story as a summary, but I can't find a good one that summarizes SUPERVILLAINS IN LOVE, WAIT, IS LOVE THE RIGHT WORD? YES? PROBABLY? That's what this is about. Also mortality! Monsters! Armor! Asexuality! Gender! Violence! TRUE SUPERVILLAIN LOVE, YES.
Rating/warnings: PG-13.
Characters/pairing: Loki/Doctor Doom.
Disclaimer: I don't own them.
Notes: All the thanks to cause_to_effect and bluestalking for providing all the best Loki bits and to cause_to_effect for the beta. Also thanks to everyone who heard me mention this fic over the last five months and said they actually wanted to read it. This touches comics canon at one or two points that are mostly Siege and Journey Into Mystery. Ignores Children's Crusade and pretty much anything else you can think of, except the movie, which it doesn't ignore. Makes reference to Ouroboros and kingmaker, but you don't need to read either of those to understand this. Oh, and the title is from Hall & Oates' "Kiss on My List." Yes. It is.
