Roundup: Little Black Dress Exchange 2023

[firecat]

littleblackdress is an exchange for characters that "go with anything," that is, they can be shipped with multiple other characters. This is the second year I've participated. Almost 90 works were posted.

My LBD character this year was Loki, who got into it with Thor and Heimdall.

I received two gifts. My assigned person also wrote for me — Loki/Wong, a pair that hadn’t occurred to me and worked really well. And I also got a story about Ariadne/Dionysus that I really liked.

What I wrote:


Consequences (3416 words) by firecat
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Thor (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe
Rating: Explicit
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Loki/Thor (Marvel), Heimdall/Loki/Thor (Marvel)
Characters: Frigga | Freyja (Marvel), Loki (Marvel), Thor (Marvel), Heimdall (Marvel)
Additional Tags: Fuck Or Die, Plot What Plot/Porn Without Plot, Semi-Public Sex, Lust Potion/Spell, Pre-Canon, Intersex Loki (Marvel)

Summary:
“You’re not ready,” Freya told Loki firmly. “Lust potions are very tricky, unpredictable spells. I’ve never been able to make one that I could rely on.”
“Unpredictable how?”
“Too weak, too strong, wear off too soon or not soon enough, the lust can be misdirected…the list goes on.” Freya picked up a phial containing a small amount of purple liquid. “This one usually just gives you a pleasant buzz of lust, but occasionally it becomes poisonous. Then if you use it and don’t have a lot of sex right away, you will die!”

What I received:

”Doing It Right” (MCU: Loki/Wong), by nununununu, teen and up, 1150 words

Summary: “You’re doing it wrong,” Loki announces, when Wong is busy wrangling the monster of the week and had thought himself alone up until he sensed the other man’s arrival.

Tend the Growing Shoots (1073 words) by Missy
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Ancient Greek Religion & Lore
Rating: General Audiences

Additional Tags: Waking Up, Romance, Travel, Post-Minotaur Ariadne, Little Black Dress, Little Black Dress Exchange 2023, First Kiss, Coaxing, Love Confessions

Summary:
Dionysus has shown surprising restraint in bringing Ariadne along after the death of her brother and the desertion of Theseus. But she proves that she's more than willing to love a God when they stop in a grape bower.

cheers

I am sorry to miss LBD but on reflection I couldn't've done it this year.

I definitely can't do all the exchanges I'd like to do!
