Avengers fic that you all have to read RITE NAO!
"Hug Therapy" by astolat (Thor/Loki, NC-17). I laughed so hard I almost ruptured my SPLEEN.
The hugging seemed at first rather to infuriate and madden Loki to new heights; it drew also the condemnation of some of his allies. "Thor, no offense," Tony Stark said, "but the love-in is just not working for me. Something about how Loki keeps managing to escape while you're busy hugging him instead of putting him in chains? Also our PR firm is going to quit over having to explain why one of us keeps snuggling the bad guy in public."
Thor persevered, however, until on the sixth occasion Loki's eyes glittered savagely and he hissed, "If you so badly require more evidence we are not kin, I will give it to you," then closed the distance between them and kissed him upon the mouth.
Thor, startled, released him; Loki laughed wildly and vanished. "No!" Thor roared, and flung Mjolnir down in frustration: he had begun to mark his success by the length of time he managed to keep Loki in his arms. He stormed back to the tower, vowing that next time he would not be so easily taken in.
His friends exchanged looks. "Uh," Barton said, "Thor, do you really want to start playing gay chicken with Loki? I don't think that's really the best idea."
Thor made Stark and Barton explain to him the nature of this competition, so he was well prepared the next time, when Loki indeed proceeded from kissing to squirming his hand between Thor's legs and stroking him. Thor blushed fiercely: Loki's fingers were long and deft, and he could not help rousing in a most unbrotherly fashion, but he held fast. "I will not be the first to cry 'chicken,'" he told Loki firmly, "nor will I give over hugging you, brother."
