Gen; Loki, Avengers, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, and OCs; crack/humor/crossover/fashion (is that a genre?); rated G; 6336 words
Summary: Loki hadn't been observed with a new scepter, and there had yet to be another alien invasion, but he was still a supervillain. SHIELD was on high alert for three months.
Which was when the new season of Project Runway started airing, and one of the designers strutting his stuff in the opening, boldly declaring, "I'll show you mortals how to make it work," set off every facial recognition program SHIELD had.
All right, so the idea of Loki as a sympathetic character is not appealing to me which is why I don't read much Loki fic. But the summary for this fic sounded so cracky that it was irresistable and it was really impossible for me to withstand the charm of this story. So, reccing this one not just for Loki fans. It is just hilariously cracky all around (and really brilliant in the way it works, to a degree*, within the logic of both verses **). And Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn are kind of awesome in their roles, as are the OCs.
* Well, it's not the most in character I've ever seen the Avengers. But hey, it's crack.
**As a side effect I plan to watch Project Runway now. (I have a secret weakness for certain kinds of reality shows.)
