( You're about to view content that a community administrator has advised should be viewed with discretion. )

Fandom: MCU
Pairings/Characters: Loki, Thor
Rating: Gen
Length: 13k
Creator Links:
Theme: siblings, AU, fork in the road, character development, gen, politics, family,

Summary: "Because you are my brother," Thor told him.

(Politics and family on Asgard. A brotherly love story.)

Reccer's Notes: This goes AU just after the first Thor movie. It's a fascinating exploration of what might have been, and of Thor and Loki and Odin and what it means to be King of Asgard.

Fanwork Links: That Sheds His Blood With Me

Fandom: BBC Sherlock
Pairings/Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson
Rating: teen
Length: 3k
Creator Links:

AJHall
Theme: siblings, family, gen, friendship, asexual characters, fandom classic

Summary: "Anyway. Enough of my embarrassing sibling brothel stories. Tell me yours."

A Sherlock conversation, over breakfast.

Reccer's Notes: I am shocked to find that this fic has not been recced before! This is a such a lovely picture of John and Sherlock's relationship, contrasted with Sherlock and Mycroft's relationship. (Not all sibling relationships are good or healthy.)

Fanwork Links: Breakfast at 221B
