Kay these are the stories that don't fit into the protective universe, so they each have little to do with each other. They are just one-shots and their only connection is that they all have dragon-Loki. Some of them are not incredibly canonical and some may have OOC-ness which is the only way some of these plots work. Loki looks the same though as in the protective universe stories though and some have a similar feel to my protective series except for the OOC-ness.
"Isn't that hot?" Clint asked Fury who was in his normal clothes even though they were outside and it was over 100 degrees.
"Yeah, maybe you should lose the leather jacket. See, even Thor abandoned his armor," Tony added pointing to the blond who was examining his friends. "I mean especially since you're cooking the burgers," he said looking at the grill that Fury was next to. Fury flipped one of the burgers.
"I'm fine," he said, but Thor didn't believe that much. It was entirely too hot to be wearing as many clothes as Fury was. In fact, it was only because he was in the shade that he was able to handle the heat as it was. Thor looked away from his friends for a moment to look at his source of shade. Loki in his great, big, black, dragon form was sleeping peacefully at the moment. He was sure that for the first time in a long time Loki was actually enjoying the heat. Normally Loki was extremely sensitive to heat, but The Thunderer supposed that he knew why that had been. Loki was a frost giant, more genetically suited for cold and more vulnerable to heat. As a dragon, it was quite the opposite. His enormous form was creating shade for him. Clint, Natasha, Bruce, Tony, and Steve were all wearing their bathing suits even though they were no where near a swimming pool. They were at campsite far from the rest of civilization. Loki had helped them bring down many villains and the group had decided to celebrate in a place where Loki could lounge without feeling cramped.
"Next time we actually have to go swimming," Tony said. "I'll find somewhere Loki can come too," Tony said when Thor opened his mouth to argue.
"Next time we celebrate maybe we should pick a less hot day, I mean if we aren't going to swimming," Natasha said her tone was conversational, but her skin was glistening with sweat, worse than many of the others.
"Alright, swimming next time," Steve agreed even though he had been for the BBQ, of course that had been when they had been in the air conditioned tower. The Avengers fell into silence, but it wasn't an uncomfortable one, it was peaceful and warm. Thor found his eyes closing. He could see the light of the sun even behind his closed eyes and feel his head against Loki's tough hide. He was on the edge of falling asleep when he heard.
"First burger is ready," Fury said. Thor's eyes were open and he was on his feet before the others.
"Good, I'm famished,"
