call for recs: Thor! (and also recent discoveries)

[snickfic]

Our character of the week is the criminally seductive Lord of Thunder, Thor! Here is your chance to comment with recs for either of the following:

1. Works focused on Thor! Art, fic, vids, whatever you've got that you liked.

2. New works you've discovered in the past month that you haven't recced here before, whether they feature Thor or not. Read a new Captain Marvel fic you loved? Want to rec an older vid about the cosmic MCU that you just saw for the first time? Here's the place. :D

I will probably be back with more later, because Thor is one of my faves <3, but for now I want to rec this gorgeous Thor: Ragnarok art that just crossed my dash this morning, featuring portraits of Hela, Valkyrie, Thor, and Loki. The COLORS! The shading and blending! I am all hearteyes.

I come bearing the gift of Thor/Rocket! This is one of my favorite pairings right now, and the only way I don't want to completely ignore Infinity War canon. This is not all the fic for this pairing, though reading the entire AO3 tag isn't difficult, but I think these are the best places to start.

3.2k, Rated E. Set after Thanos has been defeated and everyone has come back, Thor and Rocket haven't seen each other in a year. The history between them in this story is amazing. It doesn't go into details of them working to defeat Thanos, but everything they did hangs over them like a cloud. It's so wonderfully done. Yes, the porn is great, but the shared history is everything.

8.4k, Rated E. Rocket is trying to go back in time, but gets sent to an alternate universe where Thor is the captain of the Milano and is in a relationship with that universe's Rocket. I love the in-universe power swap AU for Thor and Loki, there's fantastic porn, some very good pining, and a solid action plot. This fic has everything.

7k, Rated E. This is the fic that made me fall in love with this pairing. You've got Thor and Rocket going to a fancy party, all the angst, all the good porn, and some really great character development for both of them. I remember clicking on this the first time like, "This pairing? Really?" and being blown away by how into it I was.
