If you like things based on Norse myth, I highly recommend Eight Days of Luke by Diana Wynne Jones, if it hasn't been recced on the group already. It becomes AU of the Edda later on, and is closer to Edda 'canon' in that while Loki's a great guy he's a prankster who is not that careful about the consequences of his actions as opposed to the pre-Christianization mythology home and hearth god this series uses for characterization, but it's my second favorite book by her, after Archer's Goon and before the third-place tie between Hexwood and Howl's Moving Castle. You've got to love the ravens. They're not comic relief, they're just great. Read it and you'll see what I mean.
Do they ever address in this series that Slepnir, Odin's eight-legged horse, is one of Loki's kids via a pre-marital affair?
I would really like to know if there are any good Loki/Spica(Angrboda) fics out there. I mean, since he's the family man he is most other pairings lost any appeal once it was revealed in the manga that his wife was still alive. In the anime, she's the one that shows up, under Odin's control and there's a lot involving snappping her out of it, at the end of the last episode after the credits. I seriously doubt he'd cheat on her. I've only read the two officially translated volumes with her, and I want more, because they're just cute and sweet.
Am I the only one who thinks Thor/Yamino is cute? Yamino really likes cooking and looking after people, Narukami needs serious looking after. I don't have my manga with me, but I hope my memory that there was a cute scene with maid Spica and Yamino working together is accurate. Such a warped mother & 'daughter' moment. One of the early myths features Utgard Loki tricking Thor into hooking Midgarsorm and trying to reel him in. XD I could see him trying to set those two up, I really could. And Yamino would be all, Dad! And Loki would be smiling in that way he does...
Heimdall/Hel: Was I the only one who thought these two were cute? And people don't die in Norse myth, they just switch country of residence. ...oh good lord. If Loki and Freyr find out about their daughter/emo roommate having issues in common (Heimdall is Odin's son) and getting along, there is going to be the epic matchmaking conspiracy from Jotunheim and Vanaheim. Tell me there is fic. Asgard was where the aesir lived. Loki, who was a jotun, and Freyr, who was vanir, just had places there, and Freyr also had a place in Aelfheim (the land of the light elves). Freyr is the god of male love and fertility, equivalent of Freya. Loki, in myth, was prettymuch the only one who could resist those two. If he wanted to matchmake, there would be matchmaking.
Given what we have established about Mayura's father, I'd be interested if anyone's done any fics where he and Verdandi interact (she's the one with the bells). I don't know about pairing them, but given his sight issues and other things they would be fun to stick in a room together and see what happens.
