Of Liars’ Gifts, and Gifted Liars [The Avengers, Loki/Tony Stark, NC-17]

Of Liars’ Gifts, and Gifted Liars by Like_a_Hurricane

A series of exchanges between a pair of talented showmen: mutual torment of a verbose nature, unexpected gifts, and the peculiar honesty of a pair of craftsmen proud of their own work, and willing to admit admiration of another’s. Also featuring: Loki talking his way out of incarceration, Tony Stark making reckless business decisions on a whim, and much much more.

I still cant understand people who just "accidentally" writes 25 000 word long oneshot. I just cant understand them. Okey. I can understand how hard it is to cut it to the chapters, but still. People, c'moon. Explain yourself.

But back to the fic itself and just to be cruel Im not gonna rant about plot. I just dont what to say about the whole plot thing when I dont even what part of this was the plot. Yea. There were so many little things happening at the same time that it just doesnt make one good, real plot in my head. Well besides all that "Loki wants to be part of the Asgard population all over again" but that wasnt even the main thing in the fic.

Which all just leaves me with... characters and single scenes and.... ooc. Probably not so much ooc in this one. At least I didnt really notice any. So. Scenes and characters.

Loki was probably the best. I have read lots of this kinda shit already but finally (not so sure now when I really think about but whatever) someone really wrote something good about how he really is the god of lies, like really The God of Lies. He can lie and he is the best one in lieing and there were lots of things played with that thing. Like how he can bullshit his way out of fucking everything. So that was really good one.

Also good one was how Tony understood all that showman thing. How you lie and keep lies and keep fronts when everything just crashes around you. Good pokerface would be pretty good. Because lets just admit it, Tony is public figure and you can see how he has to deal with that kinda shit all the time so that thing was really good then too.

And the thing that puts these two together. How boring the world is (world is boring, seriously) and how they can find ways to entertain themselves. And that was just brilliant. And now Im not so sure if Im talking about this fic or the series.. Well. Whatever. (The link to the series is Tricks of the Trade and totally worth for reading if you even finished this fic.)

Dumdidumdidaa. I had something really brilliant to say but as usual I tend to forget things and remember them a month or two later so sorry guys. I really have to leave this one to that. But still good and it doesnt even feel so long after you are halfway through, yeb. Believe me. Yup. Thanks.
