Here's some little christmas gifts for some amazing mutuals that have made this year a whole lot more bearable with their amazing content and their amazing interactions and just being amazing in general :']
Long post ahead so divider here to spare your scrolling. (I am also probably gonna get a bit sappy so if that makes you cringe: you've been warned lol)
@lilbitofmac Thank you for being my introduction to the fandom here on tumblr :'''D I really think I wouldn't have stuck around if it weren't for your initial warmth and encouragement. Your Tony remains my fave Tony I go feral over your art orz I may or may not have the clingy ironstrange drawing as a phone wallpaper-
Tumblr media
Hope next year is kinder on you man! I know we don't really talk outside of tags/replies, but if you ever need smthn I can help with my inbox is always there.
@strxngetimes I'm just tagging this one blog because I don't want to spam all your other blogs lmao. Thank you for sharing your interpretations of the characters with us, not only the rps with other muses but also the headcanons and brainrot. It's always such a pleasure both to see you on the timeline writing with other muses and on the inbox with the disaster man.
Tumblr media
I specially like how you include his Cloak in the mix and give it a personality- I absolutely adore the Cloak :'') So here's it being all clingy to the disaster man. Hope to see more of you having fun with all ur muses in the coming year :D
@starkkawajiri Pretty art!! Hilarious and heart wrenching character interactions!!! I love your designs and lore building so much. Fanboying over the same disaster man and making him suffer always brings a smile to my face. I've wanted to draw your Strange for a while now, so this was also the perfect excuse, I love him so much you have no idea-
Tumblr media
Can't wait to see more of your amazing designs and lore stuff for this AU! (and anything else you create next year :])
@nekojetto I think your Strange is the purest Strange there is and the fact that it's based off Supreme makes that so much more impressive. Your animatics are simply breath taking, and whenever I go back to check your concepts and sketches for character interactions I always get a smile on my face :D
Tumblr media
I'm sorry I haven't gotten to the collab just yet :'') Plz know I still have it in mind, haven't forgotten about it and am still just as excited to finally get to it as I was the first day!
@infiniteeight8 Your words make me cry and laugh so much all the time :'') You write the disaster men so beautifully both in serious, fluffy, angsty and funny situations. Reading ur stuff keeps the creative juices flowing!
Tumblr media
I remember you liked the vampire Stephen prompt you were sent, so here's some of that, even if it's more halloween-y than christmas-y.

Ironstrange prompt: reincarnation or isekai?
I went with reincarnation because, considering everything Tony and Stephen have been through, isekai felt a bit like Just Another Tuesday. LOL. Although maybe if I could think of a different enough world, maybe with another version of them in it to meet… hmmm…
Well, reincarnation this time.
-
Tony spent most of his life assuming that reincarnation was bullshit. He also spent most of his life believing that magic was bullshit, and now he’s met what feels like half a dozen wizards of one type or another. Most of them he avoids as much as he can, no matter how often he’s told they’ve “changed”.
But Stephen… 
From the moment they meet, Stephen feels familiar. Tony finds himself trusting him despite the fact that he’s a wizard. Despite the fact that he’s a stranger. Despite the fact that experience has taught Tony that other heroes are only going to abandon him, one way or another. Despite all of that, being around Stephen feels like being around Rhodey. Solid, like there’s years of trust and history there. 
It niggles at him until he bursts into the Sanctum one day and, finding Stephen in the library, says, “Okay, level with me. Did we know each other in another life or what?”
Stephen almost drops the book he’d been taking off a shelf. He turns and stares at Tony. “How did you know?”
Vindication rushes through Tony. “Gut feeling,” he says smugly. “So? What were we to each other?”
“If I tell you—” he starts.
“It might not happen?” Tony finishes. “Bullshit. Besides, that reaction already tells me we were probably lovers.”
Stephen actually looks flustered now, which is kind of awesome because he’s normally as cool as a cucumber. “I don’t expect anything,” he says. “Our past lives don’t have to define this one.” He drops his gaze to the book he’s holding, his shoulders slumping slightly.
Tony sighs. Stephen is a thinker, like Tony is. But where Tony jumps six or seven steps ahead and sometimes regrets it, Stephen follows every little twist and turn and sometimes gets lost there. “You’ve got it all mixed up in your head, don’t you?” Tony says. “Here. Let me simplify things.”
He pulls Stephen into a kiss. The book falls with a thump and Stephen’s arms are sliding around him, his lips parting for a deeper caress. Tony can feel their hearts pounding in sync. This kiss feels right in a way that nothing ever has before.
When they part, Stephen smiles at him. “Somehow, despite all our previous lives, you still surprise me.”
Tony chuckles. “Well, a cheat sheet only gets you so far,” he says. “Previous work is there to be built upon.”
“We best get started, then,” Stephen murmurs, and pulls him into another kiss.
-
Me starting: This one is going to be under 300 words! I can feel it!
Me finishing: Whoops…

HEY ITS JAY (frenchbaguette190) I have a writing prompt!! Anonymous valentine from within a friendship group (it's probably basic you don't have to use it)
OMG HI!!! It's been a while!! How are you?
TYSM for your prompt! It's really cute, I love the friends to lovers trope sm <3
Anyways, it gives off Ironstrange vibes because Wong would have totally picked up on Stephen's crush (actually, everyone can. This man is so oblivious it hurts) and makes him confess to Tony, even anonymously.
Anyways, I had a lot of fun writing this, but I got a little carried away so it's a bit of a long one... and not exactly 'friend group', but I think it's close enough.
Thanks again, Jay!!!!
The moment the door closed, Wong turned to Stephen and cleared his throat.
Stephen tore his gaze from the door and looked at Wong. "What?"
Wong crossed his arms. "When will you realize that Stark is literally head over heels for you?" he asked.
Stephen's brows furrowed. "Him? The gorgeous genius billionaire, falling for me?" Stephen snorted, a light blush dusting his cheeks. "Yeah, right. It's not like he'd care about a useless doctor who does magic tricks for a living. Get your head checked, Wong."
Stephen shook his head and climbed the stairs to his room. Wong almost screamed. Months of this. Months and they were both oblivious. The only good thing about the situation was that Stephen's negative self-talk was getting better. Everything else was hard to watch.
Stephen was completely and totally in love with Stark. Stark was utterly smitten with the doctor. Neither one knew that the other returned the feelings. Wong had tried to set them up, even worked with the other Avengers (who were just as sick of it as he was), but it never works. Wong didn't think there was anyone more oblivious than those two.
And he grew up in Kamar-Taj with a bunch of emotionally repressed sorcerers.
It was take to try harder: desperate times call for desperate measures, and all that.
~~
A week later, Wong found his solution. The Avengers were hosting a Valentine's Ball charity event and even better, it was anonymous. You address a Valentine to someone without signing your name. Valentine's are passed out at the end of the night.
The perfect opportunity to make Stephen confess. Even if it was anonymous.
When Stephen returned from the monthly Avengers meeting, blushing with a love-struck smile, Wong pounced. "Stephen."
Stephen looked at him and smiled. "Yes, Wong?"
"The Avengers, that means Stark, are hosting a Valentine's Ball with an anonymous Valentine's drop. The invitation explains it. You are going."
Stephen nodded, that stupid grin still on his face. "Okay. Tony's great. I like Tony."
"I know. Everyone knows, except Tony."
Stephen sighed. The smile faded slightly. "That's because he doesn't like me back."
Wong sighed. "Send him a Valentine's and see what happens. He. Likes. You."
Stephen rolled his eyes. "If you say so, Wong. Where's the invite?"
Wong resisted the urge to facepalm, instead handing Stephen the invitation and walking away. He had a class at Kamar-Taj he needed to get to.
Two hours later, Wong found Stephen singing softly in the kitchen. It wasn't unusual to hear Stephen singing, but Wong didn't recognize the song.
He turned to corner to see Stephen hunched over the table, writing... something.
"Love me tender, love me dear... Tell me you are mine... I'll be yours through all the years... Till the end of time..." Stephen was singing under his breath.
Wong frowned. He didn't recognize the song.
"What song is that?" Wong asked.
Stephen looked up. He smiled. "Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley. Anyway You Want Me, Side B. 1956."
Wong nodded. "And... what is that?"
Stephen grinned. "A card. For Tony."
The party wasn't for another week. Wong resisted the urge to sigh.
"Can I see?"
Stephen hummed. "I just finished." He turned the card around and showed Wong what he was making. In large, wobbly letters, Stephen had written out a short, but simple message.
Dear Tony.
I Love you.
Love, Anonymous.
Wong nodded. "Keep that safe. Tony'll love it."
"Hopefully."
Wong just hoped that Stark would finally realize that Stephen loved him back. Maybe then Wong could get some peace from Stephen's incessant pining.
~~
The night had finally arrived and Stephen was a nervous wreck. Wong was sick of it.
"Just walk in, drop your card in the box, and have a good time. It's that simple."
"No it's not! He'll see it and he'll think it's dump, or it'll get lost in all the other Valentine's for him and he'll never find it!" Stephen nearly wailed. Wong sighed and sat next to him on the stairs, pulling him into a short side hug. A sign of affection he definitely wasn't used to showing, but Stephen needed it.
"He'll love it. It'll be okay. Deep breath."
Stephen took a deep breath. "Okay... You sure?"
"I'm sure. Now go before you're late."
The doctor took another deep breath. "I look okay?"
Wong looked at Stephen. He wore a rented black tux with a red bowtie with gold accents, giving it away as the Cloak. The suit was well-fitted and accentuated Stephen's legs and shoulders. "You look great."
"You really think so--"
"Yes. If you don't leave now, I will not hesitate to portal you into the lobby myself."
Stephen chuckled. "I'm going, I'm going."
"Good. Begone."
Stephen stepped through a portal of his own and Wong let out a long breath. Hopefully Stephen resolved the mutual pining; Wong was on his last straw. And while he was gone, Wong had his own Valentine to attend to.
~~
Stephen came home two hours later, portalling straight to his room.
Wong decided not to bother him.
~~
The next day, Stephen woke up late. It wasn't uncommon for Stephen to sleep in, so Wong wasn't concerned. He only started to get worried when Stephen didn't come down after lunch.
Wong was about to go up to Stephen's room to see what was wrong when someone knocked on the door. And didn't stop.
Wong sighed and walked back down the stairs. "I'm coming, I'm coming..."
He opened the door to find Tony Stark. Dressed in an oil-stained Black Sabbath T-Shirt and sweatpants, his hair windswept and his eyes wide. He looked like he was crazy.
"Stark."
"Where's Stephen?"
Wong sighed. He glanced at the ceiling, then back to Stark. "I'll get him. Close the door behind you."
Stark nodded, almost frantically, as Wong headed up the stairs. He knocked on Stephen's door, sighing at the muffled groan.
"Stark's here. Go talk to him."
Stephen was silent for a second. "Don't wanna."
Wong felt like screaming. "Cloak?" He hissed.
There was a shuffling of fabric and a scream. "I'M UP! I'M UP!"
Wong chuckled. The Cloak was just as sick as Wong was with their pining, it seemed.
Stephen finally opened the door, hair disheveled with bags under his eyes. He wore an over-sized Columbia T-Shirt and biker shorts.
"Stark's downstairs."
"Don't wanna."
The Cloak pushed Stephen out of his room, nearly shoving him down the stairs.
"Hey! I'm not decent!" Stephen shouted as the Cloak lifted him up, flew him downstairs, and deposited him in front of Stark.
"Stephen..."
Stephen's eyes widened. "T-Tony..."
Wong had half a mind to summon a bag of popcorn.
"Is this yours?" Tony asked, holding up Stephen's crumpled Valentine.
Stephen glanced at the paper, then to Tony, then back to the paper. "I... I thought I threw that away..." He whispered.
Ah, so that's what happened.
"Well... I.. JARVIS saw it. Told me you never even came in." Tony admitted.
Stephen looked like he was close to tears. Wong didn't know how to feel about what he just heard.
"I... I'm sorry. I-"
Tony raised a hand and unfolded the paper.
"Dear Tony," He read. Stephen's breath hitched. "I love you."
Stephen swallowed. He nodded, slowly. "Love, Anonymous." He croaked.
Tony smiled, grabbing the front of Stephen's shirt.
"I love you too, douchebag." Stephen eyes widened as Tony pulled him down into a kiss.
Wong resisted the urge to cheer. Finally.
~~~
The song Stephen is singing: Love Me Tender by Elvis Presley

Oof, yeah, the combination of time to write, motivation to write, and idea to write can be really hard to hit. I love everything you write, though, and am unbelievably happy that ironstrange has been the pairing of choice!
Prompts...hmm... pining with oblivious Stephen? First times (meeting, kiss, rescuing the other, realizing they're in love, etc.); not fully human (selkie, demigod, shapeshifter, etc) Stephen (or Tony) and how that does or doesn't affect canon; reincarnation into MCU or another world; Stephen's existence was actually orchestrated by one or all Infinity Stones; fake supervillain au (Stephen as the fake supervillain for reasons, maybe); actual villain au (one is a villain the other is a hero, or I guess they could both be villains); fairytale au or fusion...
I hope you end up finding inspiration here or elsewhere. Your fics are definitely worth the wait!
Well, thank you for the list of inspiration. (Seriously, THANK YOU. Even if it took me ages to actually get anything finished.) (Several of these have actually been started and are being worked on.) But here's the first one from the list that I actually finished: Villain AU. Though if we're honest, most of it is post-villainy. But that's just what the inspiration spit out.

Prompt idea:
IronStrange no!powers AU wherein Stephen goes into education after his accident, adopts America, and realizes that he has a passion for working with kids, so he takes a job teaching biology and chemistry at a private academy for gifted children in K-12 in upstate New York. It isn't long before he becomes the PTA liason for the school, and immediately he's proven to be great at his job.
Meanwhile, Tony Stark has been divorced for a few years now, but his family has only grown with the adoption of Peter and Harley. After discovering that the boys have been struggling with a bullying problem, Tony decides to move all three of his kids to this academy Pepper and May had told him about, and buys a house in the area. All three of his kids thrive there, and Peter and Harley won't shut up about their new science teacher, so when they come home with a flyer from him asking parents to volunteer for the annual autumn carnival, Tony finds himself attending a PTA info meeting and immediately becomes smitten with the alluring Doctor Strange. Pretty soon, Tony finds himself volunteering for every PTA event just to spend a little more time with Stephen, completely oblivious to the fact that his growing crush isn't unrequited. Bonus points if America is fast friends with Peter and Harley, and Morgan adores Stephen too. Additional bonus points if Stephen is just as oblivious as Tony- gotta love that pining, lol.
Sorry if that's too much detail for a prompt, I just love your style so much and I think you could really do something like this justice
Can you hear me singing?! I really love this prompt, thank you so much for sending it!!
It’s gonna take me a while unfortunately, as I’m currently working full time and writing some other fics, so I wrote this whole thing for the meantime (I’m thinking the actual fic is going to have to be chaptered to get the full effect, I’m getting a million ideas already for this one).
~
This prompt kind of ties in with this idea I’ve been wanting to write about Stephen actually delivering America, and that’s how they meet and he actually meets and adopts her through the connection there.
The idea has been sitting in my list for a while, because I’ve never had anything to follow up with, but I think it would be cool to add in this fic (because I love Doctor Dad and backstories, I’m sorry).
Maybe America’s Mum’s have an accident on the way to the hospital, and Stephen has to emergency deliver her because he’s the only Doctor available at the time.
Maybe her Mum’s both passed away then, and she’s an orphan baby now
Or maybe they’re all okay, but another accident years down the track claims their lives, and Stephen finds out she’s an orphan
Or he meets her again in the hospital because she goes looking for the doctor who delivered her while she’s staying there recovering herself from the accident. Even better if this is in the same timeline as Stephen’s accident, and they’re both patients and they build a connection during the long hours of having no where else to go.
He wasn’t really looking to be a Dad, but something deep inside of him is really drawing him to her. He can’t stand to let her fade into the unknown, so he puts his hand up for carer, and later he makes the adoption official.
Let’s headcanon she’s really smart, but because of her dislexia, it’s hard for her to put her thoughts on paper. So Stephen tutors her and they have these brainstorming nights where they just talk science all night long, and he realises he likes this, teaching kids, they’re so optimistic and artistic and anything is possible to them.
He lost that optimism spark a long time ago, but she’s reigniting it again.
So he starts looking for teaching jobs, thinks of maybe starting his own after school club or something, when an old college professor of his, who finished out his last working years at a gifted school, retires and actually recommends Stephen. He’s heard about Stephen’s accident and thinks this’ll be good for him.
It has to be a sign, that the job practically found Stephen, and it’s so close to home they could walk, and America gets a free education and all the resources she wants- whatever career she decides to pursue.
So he accepts the job. Has five crisis’, almost a breakdown before he starts, but America drags him in the school gates their first morning. And he’s worried, that he’ll hate these kids, or they’ll hate him, and they’ll be annoying and disinterested, disrespectful, or ask a million questions about his hands.
But they hit him rapid fire with questions from the very first bell, and when they realise Stephen really knows his stuff, they’re actually super excited to be in his class.
This won’t be a year of boring lectures from a textbook, Stephen is interesting, and not afraid of gore or messiness. His classes are interesting and real, and it hits Stephen one day, that these kids are wanting to grow up and be doctors and research scientists because of him.
He may not be the king of an operating theatre anymore, but being the king of a classroom of young minds, where he’s making hundreds of other masters of their craft is… wow, this is so much more important than anything else he’s ever been and he loves it.
Meanwhile, Tony has primary custody of his three kids. He’s stepped back a little from work and the limelight (leaving Pep to be CEO of Stark Industries) and he’s really just enjoying being a Dad. These kids are healing traumas he didn’t even knew he had. He still can’t believe he’s kind of good at it.
Pepper and May are still involved in the kids lives, they’ve all got their routines and their family dynamic works seamlessly. They’re both thriving in their careers, and Tony is equally happy for them.
He isn’t at all prepared for the day he’s phoned to the principals office, and Peter and Harley are both pouting and Harley has an actual black eye, and for a second, Tony questions his humanity, because he’s going to kill whoever did that to Harley.
He fusses over the boys until one of the school officials comes along and invites them into the office. Neither of the kids would tell him anything, they’ve never been so shut down with him before, practically sticking to one another silently and refusing to tell him anything.
It all makes sense when he’s told the boys have been the targets of bullying at the school. It literally shatters his heart, and he doesn’t understand why they never told him, until it’s revealed half of the awful things said to them are mockeries surrounding their relationship with Tony.
“I bet you don’t even know Tony Stark” “He’s just using you for good PR because you’re so pathetic” “He only adopted you to look good” “Tony must be ashamed that you’re his sons” “I hope Tony comes to his senses and drops you back on the doorstep you came from.”
Tony un-enrols them on the spot, shouts some choice words to the heads of the school who have allowed this to go on to the point where it became physical, and takes the boys home and cuddles them for two days straight, heartbreakingly icing Harley’s black eye.
Late at night, Pepper and May have heard all about it, while the boys are sleeping. Tony’s wanting names- the kids names, family names, Tony wants to take down anyone and everyone associated with whoever has been picking on his kids, but the women talk Tony out of becoming a bully himself, pushing him into devoting his energy to the kids and giving them a fresh start.
When Pepper is dropping Morgan back off at the end of the weekend, she and Tony discuss the situation, and Pepper tells him about a school for the extraordinarily gifted, like their three children.
She’s heard good things, and she’ll look into it for him. She’s not really happy with Morgan’s school either, and Tony agrees, and it might be easier if all three kids went to the same school.
A week later, Tony is ushering three nervous faces in the gates, holding all three hands. He’s keeping it together- business cold, hoping if he’s calm, it’ll calm the kids. He spends the day stress pacing and calling the school to check that there hasn’t been any incidents.
His said his goodbyes in the morning to three quiet, anxious children, and is bombarded at the gates that afternoon by three smiling, laughing, shouting kids, all talking over each other to tell him about their day.
Their hair is in shambles, they’re literally buzzing. Meanwhile Tony’s been on the verge of vomiting all day with anxiety.
A couple weeks go by, and the hype stays. Tony feels good about making the decision to enrol them there, so good that he’s happy to pack up their life and move closer to the school. Out of their apartment and into a home. It’s a little further away from Pep and May, but they’re happy with the move, too.
Every afternoon the kids brag for hours about school, and Tony hasn’t missed that Doctor Strange is the favourite teacher by far as the boys are concerned. They love his science lessons, love his teaching, his experiments, his guidance. Also, his homework is actually cool, even Tony can admit that, so he gets bonus points.
A few months go by, and Tony is actually hoping parent teacher meetings come up soon, because he so wants to meet this Doctor Strange, who is good as God to the boys. Tony’s even considered reaching out and making one, under a false pretence that he wants to check the boys are warming well to their new school.
So when the boys come home one day, a couple months later, with a flyer from the one Doctor Strange about the upcoming PTA meeting, Tony see’s it as the perfect opportunity to meet the man. They’re also seeking donations for the autumn carnival, and Tony is sure he can sort something out with Pep, so that he has an excuse to speak to the man one on one.
Peter and Harley are insisting he should go, he’s gonna love Doctor Strange, and honestly, Tony’s kind of got a weird little crush? on the man. Even though they’ve never met, the boys have talked so much about him Tony honestly feels like he knows him.
So, he puts on some nice dress pants and a button up and more casual jacket, and goes to his first ever PTA meeting.
He phones May in the car park, kind of freaking out, and she talks him into taking the last steps into the building.
Tony has loved being a Dad, and he’s done all this school stuff before, but suddenly, he’s really spooked at the idea of attending an actual PTA meeting. Suddenly he’s feeling totally inadequate being there.
He’s glued himself to the drinks table at the entrance, and Tony Stark has never, ever been shy, but he feels like he doesn’t really belong there.
Meanwhile, Doctor Strange has noticed a new face at the meeting, and makes his way over to welcome him. He wasn’t expecting Tony Stark, but he’s glad at least one of his students parents read the flyer and actually turned up.
They talk, and Stephen calms him down while Tony is very steadily growing heart eyes.
Stephen is so authoritative, and well spoken, and intelligent, and actually Peter and Harley don’t brag enough, this man is incredible. He’s so thorough and clear running the meeting, he’s organised and has such great ideas.
Tony’s afraid to stand up out of his seat afterwards, he’s fairly certain he might be more than a little turned on.
So he says his goodbyes and goes home to 1) research more about this Doctor Strange, and 2) find something good to donate/contribute to this carnival so he has an excuse to talk to the man again.
They meet casually here and there, talk politely, and Tony finds any and every excuse for them to bump into each other again as soon as possible. It might as well be Christmas the day Tony finds out Harley’s new best friend America is Stephen’s daughter!!!!
She’s got an infinite invitation to the Stark house, so long as her Dad drops her off and picks her up so Tony can see him.
Tony gets more and more involved in the PTA, just to be close to Stephen, and they get friendlier and friendlier, and Tony’s crush is bigger than Jupiter now, and all the kids are teasing him about it, but who could blame him?
Stephen is perfect, and such a good Dad, and god Tony just wants the man in his house for the rest of their lives.
Maybe they have a lot of almosts.
Getting stuck together at he top of a ferris wheel at the carnival, but they never quite kiss.
They go tea tasting together, and Tony could fucking spit it back in his mug, but he swallows every sample for Stephen.
They decorate the hall for prom, and chaperone and they almost kiss again under the lights like a teenage dream. But they don’t.
Tony’s so fucking desperate he might just steal a kiss.
Maybe on the school camping trip they go on, or at the competition where Harley and America win first prize for their invention. Maybe while they’re cooking for charity work, or when Tony invites Stephen to the tower and lets him poke around at their research.
In the end, it’s simple. It late at night, and goodbyes are too hard when they’re this tired.
Tony kisses Stephen, and later, when his head is clear, he can’t believe that Stephen actually kissed him back. He literally goes to bed smiling that night.
It’s Stephen who suggests their first date, and everything falls into place from there.
Eventually, America and Stephen pack up their apartment and move into the Stark’s house, and they do bonfires, and light marshmallows. Friday nights are for movie marathons, and Saturdays are usually spent brainstorming world changing devices and medicines.
They’re happy, and in love, and a family.
Tony and Stephen both adopt all children, and Stephen gets to know Pepper and May, and they all go together to the kids big functions, and share tissues and embarrass them all every time.
And even well past the older kids graduation, Tony is a familiar face around school.
The husband of everyone’s favourite Doctor Strange, always at his husbands side, practically a trophy-spouse, making sure everything is in order and his husband is happy and successful in his endeavours.
Everyone knows them, everyone loves them. They’re the it couple, even though they’re both in their fifties now.
They visit the kids at college all the time, and vacation most of the rest of their spare time.
They’re happy, and eventually they downsize to a small cottage and live a simple life together in one another’s company, far from everything that was difficult in their earlier lives.
They watch the kids take over Tony’s company and do great things, and they feel so incredibly lucky this is their lives. It’s been perfect.

Stringless – 2,044
Betwixt – 2,023
Obstacles and Opportunities -1,523
Counterfeit Boyfriend – 1,368
Ternion- 1,299
You know what, I’m really surprised by number four if I’m honest. I was always under the impression that one hadn’t done very well, as usually the fics people talk to me about are Stringless, Betwixt and Love, Dreams and Coffee Machines. It’s a pleasant surprise, but I’m a little shocked!
5. Do you respond to comments? Yes, I try to respond to them all, sometimes things get in the way, and I forget, but I’ll always respond, it might just take a while! But I do appreciate all of them and the kudos, and occasional screams in my Tumblr inbox. It really does act as a motivation for more stories!💞
6.What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Oh, this one is easy. It’s Without You, it’s the only really sad story I’ve written. I mean, I love putting angst in my writing, but this is the one where Tony was dealing with his grief of losing Stephen, and he doesn’t get him back.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
I think all my fics have happy endings if I’m honest.💞
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Yes, unfortunately, they tend to range from: Why are you writing about this couple? Why aren’t you writing about the couple you just did? I don’t like reading about this pairing. I’ve recently had a few saying my writing is awful, or my take on a story is awful.
I think that’s the risk you take with posting things online, which is saddening as I don’t think people always appreciate how much work, effort, time goes into any creation, be that art, fics, or mood boards. I’ll be honest, it can drag you down at times, and it has made me want to quit a few times, but the fandoms I’m in are incredibly supportive and welcoming, so I try not to let the few bad comments overwhelm the positive ones I have.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I think most of my fics have smut in, unless they’re the small prompt pieces I worked on, and I write all kinds, to enhance the plot, without a plot, multiple partners, solo self love.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I haven’t no, but I I do have a request sitting in my inbox for a IronStrange/ Star Trek crossover which I really want to work on!
11.Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Back before my AO3 days yes, and when I confronted the writer about it they were very apologetic and took it down. I’ve had people take my stories and post them on Goodreads and I’ve had to fight with them several times to take down
12. Does not exist apparently
I’m not even 100% I exist if I’m honest.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I haven’t, I’ve worked with artists on stories before and that’s been incredibly fun.
14.What’s your all-time favourite ship?
I’ve had loads, but the one I’ve written for the most is IronStrange, although I enjoy writing for FrostIronStrange more.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
I actually have a half-written JohnLock one sitting on my laptop, but I’m not sure I’ll ever get back to it. I love the idea and I love writing it, but I don’t know if I can get their voices quite right and I keep losing faith in it.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I’ve always been told it's my characterisations and emotive writing, which are huge compliments.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I would say it’s writing action/fighting scenes, I always leave a place card saying ‘Write fight scene here’ and go back to it at the end. I just…find writing them tedious and I don’t think I always get the movement right, or the stakes, if that makes sense?
I struggle with pacing too sometimes….like I want to get to the good bits of the story and skim over the other bits.
18.Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
The only other language I know is French from what they taught at school, and unless you want me to write a story where I need to order stationery and tell you where the library is, it’d better if I just stuck with English.😂😂
If I did need dialogue in another language, I’d reach out to an author who I knew could speak the language.
19.First fandom you wrote for?
Beyblade, way back in the olden days…..or actually, maybe it was Lord of The Rings?
20. Favourite fic you’ve written?
I’ll always have a soft spot for Stringless because it was the first IronStrange I’d ever written and I was so nervous about writing for Marvel and posting it, and Ternion because again, I’d never written a poly couple and I was really anxious about writing Loki.
But the fic I enjoyed writing the most was Betwixt. I was devastated when I finished writing that because I’d poured my soul into it. I wrote it on pieces of scrap paper during meetings, I stayed up late working on it, and I got up early to write it. I always enjoy the stories I work on, but that one holds a special place in my heart.
I’m desperate to write a sequel for it.
Tagging @the-elle-kat @atypical-snowman @jeromesankara @xoniarainforest and anyone else who wants to play!

You Broke into My House Drunk AF, But My Cats Like You. Date Me, Please.
Tumblr media
@ironstrangehaven
IronStrange Week 2022 Day 4
Prompt: Meet Ugly AU
Modern AU
No Powers AU
Tony is CEO of Stark Tech and Records
When he was younger, he had an excellent idea to start a tech company and a music label.
The company is doing well
Like making money 
Also, in this AU, let’s make the music labels different from the music labels in real life.
This means the artists get to keep the money, including the other people that work to help the artist succeed.
The company pays the amount needed to make the albums and stuff
Tony lives alone and has three cats
Friday
Butterfingers 
Jarvis
Tony’s cats are picky about who they choose to be nice to
The cats are adorable and cuddly with Tony’s friends and family
When it comes to Tony’s potential partners, they get hissy
Tony always ends it with his partners the day after meeting his cats
His cats are good at knowing who will treat Tony right or wrong
He trusts them a lot because the last time he ignored his cats, he got stuck in a horrible relationship
Anyways he’s in his office late into the night working and doesn’t get back till the following day 
During the time that Tony is at the office, Stephen finally has fun because he’s been busy with work
He’s a professor for the pre-med program, and he likes making sure his student understand what they’re learning and he wants them to succeed 
He’s been very stressed for the past couple of weeks
Christine, Wong, and Agatha help him let loose because, yeah, stress is terrible for you
Christine, Wong, and Agatha are in different departments or departments adjacent 
Anyways Stephen gets incredibly drunk and decides to walk to Agatha and Tao’s place while Wong drives Christine and Agatha to continue just to relax and recover from their inebriated state
Wong pulled the short stick of being the designated driver before all of the drinkings happened
Usually, Stephen is the DD, but Stephen needed just to have fun and not focus on work
Stephen thinking that Tony’s home is Agatha’s, just breaks into Tony’s house
Agatha and Tao live in the same neighborhood as Tony
Stephen is confused when Agatha, Christine, Wong, and Tao aren’t there, but he supposes he got there early
(JUST PRETEND THAT THE BAR IS VERY CLOSE TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, OKAY)
Stephen meets Tony’s cats, and the cats know that despite Stephen being drunk that’s he’s a good person
Stephen melts at the sight of the cats. 
He plays with them and ends up sleeping on the couch, cuddling them
When Tony gets home, he’s a bit confused to find the door to his house open
He’s cautious when he walks in, but then he gets even more complicated when his cats aren’t there to greet him 
He hears a cat purring; it is loud like an engine
It was Butterfingers who was purring. She always sounded like an engine running.
He walks into the living room to find Stephen asleep and the cats cuddled against a body part.
He also finds a few bottles of his cheap wine from the fridge on the table and an empty wine glass.
Confused, he just gets into his comfy clothes and gets breakfast ready for him and his surprise guest.
Stephen wakes up to the sound of food cooking and the light from the window.
He then gets up, walks to where the food is and finds a stranger in his friend’s house.
Tony turns around and is like:
“Uh, hi, you broke into my home last night, and I would have kicked you out, but seeing the wine bottles and the videos from last night, you were already drunk, and my cats have been very cuddly with you, and so do you wanna go out with me?”
Stephen, still drunk, is like:
“You’re not Agatha or Tao.
Tony does the whole explanation about Agather and Tao being his neighbors, and he once again asks, “Wanna go out with me?
Stephen: “When I’m not drunk anymore, yes.”

just because i feel like it:
some random thoughts about the art i made for ironstrange week + the very rough thumbnails for each piece (putting this under the read more so this doesn't take up too much space bc this is a Very long post)
day 1 - red/wrath
Tumblr media
first fanart for this fandom! there are a few things i don't like about this piece (questionable anatomy, use of values could be improved, + stephen's hair makes him look like a wet cat /hj) but i do like the lighting and the theme of red spider lilies. i've always wanted to draw them and i love their symbolism of death and final goodbyes—feels very fitting for these goofs :b
i started working on this a good amount of time in advance, and i'm glad i did—this was one of the only pieces i used a painterly style for despite it being my preferred style; it takes me a lot longer than lineart + color, so i didn't get the chance to use it again throughout the event (with the exception of day 6)
day 2 - nervous/orange
Tumblr media
i struggled with the anatomy on this one—i don't draw back views often (or, at all really) so the first panel was pure pain. the second panel wasn't much better; it took several attempts to pose the hand in a way that looked somewhat natural. pretty pleased with how this turned out all things considered, though! my only qualm with this is the rushed shading, but that's what happens when you're a slow artist on a time constraint :,)
day 3 - yellow/cheerful
Tumblr media
i think this may be one of my favorites from this event. i'm very very happy with the lighting and overall atmosphere of the piece :)
i realize now that i used flowers as a theme for every color prompt—anyways, like i said in the tags of the original post for this, i very loosely referenced yellow primrose (symbol of happiness, warmth, & love, conventionally given to those in long-term relationships or someone who has always been there for you through thick and thin)
day 4 - intrigued/green
Tumblr media
i ended up liking this better than i expected to! i had to play around a lot with the lighting/color scheme before i was satisfied with it, though that's on me for not having much of a plan for it beforehand (with most pieces, i already have an idea of the color scheme when i start working on them). not much else to say about this one except surgeon stephen my beloved <3
day 5 - blue/serene
Tumblr media
this was the first time i've properly drawn a kiss and holy hell how do ship artists do it. that shit is so difficult. i struggled a lot with the anatomy and ended up changing the poses a bit; i also flipped the composition because 1. it looked slightly better that way and 2. i could include tony's ring <3
and yes stephen's mug says 'cunt' (with the handle being painted in black to form the 'c'—very much inspired by jacksepticeye's mug); for tony's i had to search for funny mug designs lmfao
i was going for a very domestic/warm atmosphere, which i think was more or less accomplished, so i'm pretty happy with this overall :)
also, not really pertinent but i was listening to sweater weather on loop while drawing this so. make of that what you will.
day 6 - grief/indigo
Tumblr media
ah, this piece. definitely my favorite of the 7, love how this turned out despite ripping my own heart out a bit while making it :,) listening to hyacinthus on repeat didn't help
my initial idea for this—the thumbnail in the top left—was going to be one of them bleeding out in the other's arms, but i had another idea that i felt more drawn to so i chose that instead (this was a very last minute change so the thumbnail is pretty much just a couple of stick figures pfft).
i decided to go back to the painterly style since it felt more fitting for this & i'm glad i did, although it was a little rushed towards the end when i was adding in the final details (the butterflies are pretty much just lasso tool + glow layer). this was also my first time drawing stephen's robes and. man that was a pain to figure out. get a simpler outfit stephen.
day 7 - purple/disdain
Tumblr media
had to end the event on a happy note! this was very rushed but i still like how it looks, though the bg petals are a bit janky.
the prompt 'purple' immediately made me think of violets, which were used as gifts for newlyweds so. here we are (they also happen to be symbolic of faith, mystical awareness, and spiritual passion—pretty fitting for our favorite wizard)
i didn't dedicate as much time i should've to actually making the violets look like violets instead of some generic flower but again, slow artist under time constraint. i did spend a lot of time with the expressions in this one though! i really wanted to convey a sense of pure joy and love, and i'm very happy with the result in that regard :)
something that i noticed was that it had become a lot easier for me to draw these two by this point. suppose it makes sense considering i'd literally been drawing them nonstop for 2 weeks lmao, but it was still pretty cool to see how quickly i managed to finish a sketch i was happy with, compared to when i was working on the first few days (good lord was it difficult drawing stephen in the first piece, especially at that angle)
anyway, prepare to see more of them in the near future because the brainrot is far from over. if i am this attached to them without having seen the majority of marvel movies featuring them (i'd literally only watched ds1 until yesterday when i watched im1—yes i started shipping them without knowing who tony was, i don't know how either), i think i'd be a puddle by the time i catch up on everything :D
whoo that was a lot—if you've read this far, thank you and have a cookie 🍪

PoliZ’s WIP Update - 11 Oct 2023
A less-than average week as Real Life took center stage.   I touched 3  fics (2 WIPs & 1 new works)  for a total of  1954 words.
On Ao3, I posted: 
An A-maze-ing Afternoon Together - established Stephen/Tony fluff  ficlet
Lessons Learned -  a Sam/Clint meet-cute ficlet. 
  Tony Stark Bingo Mark VII - September Round Robin - post-Avengers  Tony/Bruce friends to maybe something more. 
A Sign of the (Sexy) Times -  WinterPepperony silly, sexy ficlet (no actual smut) 
I have  18 semi-active WIPs  😬 with my  current  deadlines being the Sam Wilson Bingo that wraps on Oct 15, the Halloween Horror Bingo and the  the Fictober/ Flufftober/ Whumptober prompt challenges that all wrap at the end of the month.
See  below cut for what I’m working on/planning to work on - arranged more or less by bingos/challenges/etc.  As always, feel free to send me   prompts or plot bunnies as well as asks regarding  any of these projects  or any other WIPs I’ve got out there.   Interaction really helps feed the Muse and keep me motivated!
Seek & Destroy Collab
After reading @psychiccatpanda‘s amazing   Morguna and the Green Queen, I  got the itch to explore the Soldier’s POV and talked  Faustie into   collab’ing with me!  We’re working on a new part of the series, and I’ve  contributed about 900 words towards the  2500-ish we have so far.   Going to see if I can squeeze any of my BBB squares into this fic.
 Sam Wilson Bingo [SWB_R3]  (Ends 15 Oct 2023)
I have eight fills and zero WIPs - targeting a Column G bingo and perhaps one more fill before the bingo wraps up.  
* B4 - Natasha Romanoff -  Maybe add on to my Card Sharks drabble, where  SamNat & Steve conspire to create a polycule with Bucky?  This idea crosses over nicely with my BBB KINK: Seduction mission square and maybe I can squish a Fictober or Flufftober prompt in here. 
* G2 - Teacher/Teacher AU - Posted Lessons Learned on Monday - a No Powers AU FalconHawk meet (mostly) cute ficlet that crossed over with  Flufftober Day 9 “: "I wouldn't do that if I were you.”  and came in at  414 words.   
* G4 - Adopting a Pet - posted a moodboard for this where Joaquin brings a stray cat home and  Sam and Bucky (pretend to) disapprove.  Shout out to @hannahshattuck3121 for the assist on the Joaquin pics!  
Halloween Horror Bingo - [HHB_23] (Ends 31 Oct 2023)
Just signed up for this event, hosted by @halloweenhorrorbingo. After picking three horror films, you get a 3x3 card (with 3 alternates) with prompts based on those films.
* B1 - Dealing with Extreme Cold  - seems like a good match with my BBB Cold   and or SVB Last Resort  square along with Whumptober: Thermometer  & Fictober "It's not too late, let's go."
* ALT1 - There’s something under the bed - Finished up  A Hairy Situation -   WinterHawk Werewolf AU  that’s  coming in at a nice, round 2200 words and crosses over with my BBB "This might as well happen"  square. Targeting to post on Friday the 13th. 😁
Fictober/Flufftober/Whumptober - [FFWtober_23] (Ends 31 Oct 2023)
I’m lumping these three prompt challenges together as I plan on mixing and matching with a goal of using at least four prompts from each list by the end of the month for a total of 12 prompts.  I’m a little behind at only three used so far, but we’ll see what the rest of the month brings!  
* Whumptober Day 2: Thermometer  see  HHB Dealing with Extreme Cold 
* Fictober Day 3: "Okay, show me."   see SWB  Joaquin Torres above.  
* Flufftober Day 6. Corn Maze -  posted  An A-maze-ing Afternoon Together (fluffy IronStrange established relationship ficlet) on Friday.  It crossed over with my TSB  Tony/Stephen square and came in at 451 words.  
* Fictober Day 9: "I wouldn't do that if I were you."  See SWB Teacher/Teacher AU.  
* Fictober Day 12: "I'm not saying I didn't like it."  Wrote up a short Chapter 2  to  Caught By the Rain and Blinded by the Lightning  as a crossover with my  TSB Pairing: Tony/Thor square.  It came in at  567 words and will post on Thursday.  
* Fictober Day 24:  [melting emoji]  - combine with  TSB  "Get back in bed!"  Tony has a fever and won’t listen to his partner. Maybe throw in a little Whumptober too? 
* Fictober Day 27:   "I don't know if they will accept this."  - This could be a fun combo with TSB  T2 - KINK: Cock-blocking 'bots. 
WinterIron Bingo  - [WIB_R1]   (Ends 16 Dec 2023)
I have sixteen fills completed and two WIPs for this brand-new bingo event that I’m helping mod!  Along with crossfilling against my other bingos,  I’m going to try to combine my B column squares for the Iron Soldier badge (complete a bingo with a single work). – Alpha Tony Stark, “That was not my intention.”, James Rhodes, Alpine loves Tony and Blind date.   (Tony POV remix of A Sugar Coated Pill?)
* N1 - Bucharest –  I think I can fold this into a future chapter of My Love is Vengeance -  where a young!Tony and a recovering!Bucky have been kidnapped by Hydra, who still thinks Bucky is the Soldier.  
* G2 - Eye contact during sex - This will come into play in Chapter 6 of A Sugar-Coated Pill, where Bucky figures out what making love really means, with Tony’s help. It’s crossing over with BBB KINK: Gentle Sex and is up to 830 words.
* G4 - AU: College Students – looking to expand Beaten to the Punch with some backstory on Bucky and Tony as science camp counselors to fit with this square - will also cross over with my WFB  Volunteering Together square.  
* O5 - Gentle – use this poem  as inspiration?
Stucky’Verse Bingo Round 1 - [SVB_R1]   (Ends 22 Dec)
Eleven fills, two WIPs and a couple of ideas.
* A1 - Harem - crossover with CABB Secret/Forbidden Relationship - Bucky and shrimpy!Steve are both concubines - they love each other more than their lord. I poked at this a little for 71 words.
* A4 - Fairy Tale Curse  - this seems custom-made for a continuation of Beyond the Beast😁  Nothing written yet, other than some Vague Ideas.  
* C3 - FREE - Need to find a good match for Chapter 2 of   Half of the Flesh and Blood That Makes Me Whole   - a Bucky POV remix of at least the first part of Take What Was Wrong (And Make it Right), which is current sitting at  52 words.  I’m expecting at least one more chapter, possibly two, depending on how far I want to take the remix.   
* C5 - Last Resort - see HHB Dealing with Extreme Cold 
Bucky Barnes Bingo  - [BBB_R5]   (Ends 10 Jan 2024)
I’ve got  eleven fills,  four WIPs,   and a couple more Vague ideas.

* B5 - Cold - see HHB  Dealing with Extreme Cold
*  U1 - Never the fall that kills you -  I’ve got a WinterIron hanahaki fic idea for this that I might play with or check against Whumptober prompts 
* U3 - Fireplace -  Working on a 1980′s No Powers WinterIron fic set at a ski lodge where Tony’s being wooed by poetry and love letters that Bucky wrote to someone else.   Started poking at this as a crossover with a Love Letters prompt and it’s sitting at 129 words.
* C2 - Yelena Belova–   The plan is to use this prompt in the next chapter of Peresmešnik,  (aka Three Avengers and a Baby), which is currently sitting at 1303 words (600-ish of which are mine).

* Y1 - Gentle Sex – In-progress Chapter 6 of Sugar-Coated Pill- see WIB Eye Contact During Sex.
* Y3 - Alpine  - see WIB Iron Soldier combo.

Thirteen  fills and one WIPs, with a couple of ideas in play.

* R5 - Doppelganger/Evil Twins -   The Flash Fiction Friday prompt [#FFF214 Broken Mirror] got me at least a good start on the idea I’ve been playing with for this square.

Post July Break Bingo  [JBB_23p] (Ends Apr 2024)
@julybreakbingo is running another event to tide participants over with a 2x3 non-fandom-specific card - I got mine earlier this week and am checking it over for potential crossovers.
* A1 - “It’s you. It’s always been you.” - This might fit in with my TSB Doppelgangers/Evil Twins fill NamNori above :: ponders::
* B1 - Ask the neighbor if they know why your apartment is haunted  - I gotta do something with this for Spooky Month - maybe combine with TSB Old Ghosts or something off my HHB card  :: ponders:: 
* B2 - Character’s personality is split into two different beings – I’ve never played with Bucky & the Soldier being two different people, but this seems like the perfect opportunity! Will see what might be a good crossover on BBB or WIB (or even SVB)
*  C1 - Touch Starved – another good fit for a Bucky-centric fic. (Steve or Tony or Clint) possibly crossover with BBB Take the shot?
Warm and Fluffy   Bingo  - [WFB]   (no end date)
I got my card from  @warmandfluffybingocards back in February but really haven’t done much with it  - however, I’m picking it back up for some crossover possibilities!
 * O5 - Volunteering Together – see WIB AU: College Students
————
On  other creative fronts:  I am working on a Bela Lugosi Dracula  Stuffed With Character figure in progress for a commission and have signed up for the Marvel Trumps Hate event - so keep an eye out for my auctions! 
If  you’re looking for one of a kind gifts for birthdays or other celebrations, check  out Stuffed With Character    over on Facebook for a full list of my designs (now over 150!).   These soft stuffed figures are  mostly Marvel and monsters, but I have some Star Wars, Star Trek, DC   and Disney figures as well. Plus I love to take custom design   requests  for any fandom!

Magic and Middle-Earth
Fluffbruary Day 7 | @fluffbruary | Energy
Bucky Barnes Flash Bingo | 📚 @buckybarnesbingo | Undone
IronStrange Bingo Round 3 | 🏥 @ironstrangebingo | Body Swap
masterlist :: (ao3 link)
RATING: General WARNING(S): JK Rowling is mentioned.
A/N: I have never read or watched The Lord Of The Rings/Hobbit series so I didn’t have much knowledge so everything Bucky fangirls over is googled. Also, I kinda added the fluffbruary prompt in later but I thought energy and magic were a pretty clear connection.
Stephen doesn’t like when people take his notes or idea for Avengers book club which leads Bucky and Peter into an interesting situation, almost punishment for Bucky loving the Hobbit so much. | Stephen Strange/Tony Stark
fluffbruary 2023 | bbb 📚 flash | isb 🏥 round 3
Tumblr media
Bucky read the Hobbit in 1937, he remembers lining up and being so excited when his parents could spare the money to buy him a copy of the book. It was a beautiful paperback that he treasured and slept with it under his pillow every night hoping it would bring magic to the world. When he would wake up and realise that magic had yet to come he would instead read and be transferred into the magical world of Middle-Earth. 
It was almost like the magic in the books gave Bucky the energy to keep going. His energy seemed pretty similar to magic. 
So when Tony brings a wizard home one night Bucky is ecstatic to learn about magic. He asks more questions than Stephen ever expected from somebody who lived during World War 2, where magic must have seemed hopeless. 
“Can you really use magic portals? Does Middle-Earth actually exist? Is JK Woling actually Rita Skeeter? Is the Hobbit possible? Is it similar to energy? Is there science behind it?”
Stephen thoughtfully answers his questions the smae way that he does with Peter when he shows excitement for the mystical art. It brings a smile to Stephen’s face knowing that Bucky Barnes of all people is just as excited as a teenager who was infatuated with Hogwarts. 
“The energy is more obstetrical then scientific. We can see multiple possibilities or outcomes of different timelines but not as many different worlds entirely. There is also no distinct evidence to prove JK Rowling has ever come in contact with mystical arts and if I can help it, it will stay that way,” Stephen says with a straight face as Tony taps his boyfriend's shoulder laughing at the proposition. 
They are many more questions and warnings.
Tony as he laughs smiles at Bucky happy to see him enjoying something about the tower and their people. “Just don’t touch any of his books, trust me nothing ever goes right from touching one of Stpehen’s books.” 
Bucky takes the warning with a grain of salt.
.
It’s a casual Thursday afternoon, they aren’t expecting any visitors and Peter had come over after school to join Bucky in his quest to watch all the Lord Of The Rings movies after recently re-reading the books in the Avengers book club. It was almost routine between them all they read a book that had a movie or TV show adjacent and find themselves making time to watch and read both.
When he touched Stephen's book it was because he thought it was Stephen’s edition of the Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, that’s what the colour said. Sure he and Peter both thought it was unusual because it was hardcover and the blue emblem on the front related nothing to the book, but what would it hurt?
They’re plan to have movie night was replaced with the panicking and calling, Stephen Strange.
“You swapped bodies?” The sorcerer yells as he comes in via portal to the common floor of the tower where Bucky and Peter both stand sheepishly, in each other bodies, Bucky (Peter?) is currently stuck to the kitchen counter as he struggles to get unstuck.
Peter (Bucky?) gulped at the look on the doctor's face, “we thought about calling Mr Stark but  we quickly realised that he was the person who told us not to touch your books and then he would have laughed at us.” Bucky’s face is pouting which is a funny sight to see because Bucky doesn’t pout. Peter on the other hand is known for his pouting and puppy eye skills. 
Bucky flinches as he unsticks himself from the counter, not realising his strength he flings himself to the other side of the kitchen, which he notices changes Stephen’s smirk into a small smile. “We really are sorry Stephen, we honestly thought it would be no harm because it was just a regular book.” Stephen rolls his eyes before sitting down on the couch throwing his head back, clearly had a long day and now Bucky and Peter had made it longer.
Sighing Stephen talks with his eyes closed, “JARVIS, tell Tony that while the kitchen is fine, we really need to re-test Peter’s strength and power because even Bucky can’t withstand it.” He smiles at the thought of seeing Tony react to the citation his two teammates were in, “and ask him to bring his copy of The Fellowship with him so we can actually start movie night.” 
Sharing a look of confusion Peter and Bucky stand in their opposite bodies still, “aren’t you going to do something about this?” Peter gestures to both Bucky and himself.
Stephen waves it off with a hand, “calm down it will ware off, I only put it on the book so nobody will steal my book notes again-” He’s cut off by the loud sound that is coming from the hallway as Tony Stark runs down it laughing at what he’s expecting to see.
He laughs even harder when he gets to the kitchen looking between Bucky and Peter, breathing heavily as he’s exhausted from running and then laughing so hard. He  turns to his boyfriend a large smile on his face, “this was intended for me wasn’t it?” The idea of that makes the older man laugh harder.
The look on Stephen’s face and the way he folds his arms over his chest prove that Tony is correct in his suspensions, “you stole my notes last month, I’m not letting you do that again.”
Tony continues to laugh falling down onto the couch throwing an arm around Stpehen’s shoulders and kissing him on the cheek, “love you.” And from the background, he can hear Bucky eye-rolling and Peter grumbling as they both sit back down on the couch.
“JARVIS, start The Hobbit.”
“Movie starting.”
It’s fine, the magic will come undone after 17.5 hours of watching the 6 total movies.

ironstrange Drabble: “you’re on my side of the bed.”
(Also OMG you’re great at writing prompts anyways have a great day!)
Weary, Stephen bid the Cloak goodnight and turned to face the suite’s single bed. Tony—his roommate by necessity, the hotel being overbooked—was in bed, tapping at a tablet. He’d left plenty of room, but— “You’re on my side of the bed.”
Tony looked up. “This is also my side of the bed, and I got here first.”
Stephen rubbed his forehead. “I’m not trying to be petty,” he said. “But I won’t sleep if I have to take the other side. Is there any way you could move over?”
“I could,” Tony said, setting the tablet aside. “It’s just… If I do, I’m going to end up spooning you all night,” he admitted.
That wasn’t what Stephen was expecting. He considered it for a minute. “I don’t mind if you don’t,” Stephen finally said. 
Tony’s eyebrows went up. “You sure?”
“If it makes you uncomfortable—”
“No, no, I'm fine,” Tony assured him. “Just surprised. You kind of radiate ‘untouchable’ vibes.”
It wasn’t the first time Stephen had heard that. Unfortunately. “I enjoy contact as much as the next person.”
Tony chuckled. “Well, you’ll get your fill of cuddles tonight.”
Stephen smiled to himself, suddenly grateful for the shortage of rooms.

Hullo. Welcome.
I've been thinking of doing a pinned post for a while now but never got the chance to (read: I thought about it, procrastinated, and then forgot), so... yeah. It must be weird for my long-time followers to suddenly see a "Hey there! Welcome to my little corner of the internet!" post but, here we are. A couple years late, too. Anyway.
I'm Kitty. I go by she/they. I'm a fanfiction author. All my works are posted on my ao3.
This blog is for me to share my writing, interests, and/or other hobbies. Feel free to drop an ask or slide in my messages if you fancy a little chat -- I don't bite. :)
My current fandom focus is the MCU, mainly anything about Stephen Strange, but I tend to shift through different fandoms like BBC Sherlock and the lot. I'll do you a favour and not list them all here because, well, in that case, it'll be practically endless.
I used to post incorrect quotes, but not so much nowadays. If at all. Ah, also, fair warning: I generally do not tag any of my reblogs and could go on reblog sprees from time to time, or be inactive for days on end. There is no in-between.
This is my own space and I have the right to express myself and my opinions freely here, although I will rarely engage in anything with heavy discourse/debate and the sort. But I am always open to them if anyone's interested. Just don't ask for trouble.
More details regarding my blog under the cut.
Tags
Despite the messiness of my blog, I do, in fact, use some tags for my own posts. Surprise, surprise.
I use #my writing for all fics I've written,
#incorrect quotes for, well, my incorrect quotes,
#ask for basically all the asks I've answered,
#personal when I'm sharing something about myself or how I'm doing,
#ramblings for random thoughts or things in my head I decided are worth writing in my blog,
Occasionally #writing when I share (hopefully) relatable stuff about writing or when I'm sharing my experience in writing, and
#kitty makes up scenarios for when I share thoughts and scenarios about fictional characters and will likely not write about them.
Prompts
If you're wondering whether I'm open to prompts or not, currently I am back to receiving prompts. This will update from time to time.
You can send them in my ask box. :)
Here are a couple of things I'd like to emphasise for those interested:
I am not a fast writer. I will not respond to your prompt immediately. It could take me weeks, months, and maybe even longer to get to you.
I would prefer if you'd leave some space in the prompt for creative liberties and not put in too much detail. (You might as well write it your own if you want it in a very specific way.)
Don't pressure me into doing your prompt. Please keep in mind that I can and will send it back/refuse to write it if the prompt you send isn't doable to me for one reason or another.
I can be sensitive to some topics like alcoholism, physical/domestic abuse, etc. but it is negotiable so long as it isn't heavy on the topic. Just send me a DM to discuss.
It comes without saying, but underage and sexual abuse is a definite no.
Physical de-aging is OK, but I won't do ageplay or age regression -- whether it's sexual or not.
Yes, I am open to writing NSFW but please, for the love of god and all that is holy, do not send me anything about mpreg or genderbending. Or anything too... weird, for that matter.
In case a clarification is needed: yes, hurt/no comfort or even MCD fics are definitely OK. Yes, yes, yes, 100%.
Yes, I ship. My ships include IronStrange, Frostrange, Wongrange, Strordo, Johnlock, and am open to other ships if you wish so. Again it is negotiable and I am flexible regarding this.
Genfics are 100% OK, too.
If I happen to reblog/participate in an event with a prompt set, I am usually alright with receiving requests about them.
Unquestionable, but, prompts from other posts/not an original prompt you made is, of course, welcome.
I don't write/read x reader or reader insert. I don't read/write x OC, either. Sorry.
I do not write "Not [X] Friendly" fics. I do not like character bashing.
The rules may update from time to time. Please check them before sending requests.
Last updated 12/10/23
My preferences
I'm not exactly that picky of a person, but I do have preferences when it comes to reading and/or writing. And I would greatly appreciate if you'd take them into consideration, as I want to enjoy doing requests as much as you do when reading it.
I tend to prefer Hurt!Stephen or Whumpee!Stephen in h/c or whump scenarios, but I am not opposed to writing him being a caretaker. In the Sherlock fandom I prefer Hurt!Sherlock but, again, totally open to otherwise.
I love a lot of various tropes and things but am practically obsessed with whump and hurt/comfort. Angst is another one I absolutely love. I write fluff as well, but it usually requires a certain mood, so fluffy prompts might be replied to later than whumpy/angsty ones.
Most of my works are IronStrange but I love Wongrange just as much, if not more. Other ships are, again, totally alright. Although I am not very fond of these ships in particular: SpideyStrange, ScarletStrange, and x reader.
Other things
Be reminded that I am an amateur author and a human, so, despite me not being averse to 'constructive criticism', it'd be appreciated if you would kindly hold your opinions to yourself instead of sending hate asks/comments -- unless you can say them without being rude. Both explicitly and non-explicitly. I am not confident with my writing (as I should be, haha), and doing so will just discourage me further.
I post from a lot of fandoms. This is not an IronStrange-exclusive blog. Filter tags if and when necessary.
Minors are allowed to follow as I do not post anything too explicit; at least without tagging them. They would be tagged #tw suggestive or #tw explicit. I do however advise you to beware as I can be... a little bit... unhinged, sometimes.
Ask me if you want to translate/post my works to other platforms. You must have my written permission.
If you disagree with me (e.g. you characterise/see/view [Character A] as ... but I write them as ...), please keep in mind that all of this is fiction and everyone is allowed to have their own opinions. But well, feel free to discuss with me if you'd like.
Please don't hesitate if you have any questions! ^-^
I thiiiiink that sums up pretty much everything. If you've read this far, thanks for letting me waste your time!
Much love! Cheers! xoxo
- Kitty

Love is Composed of a Single Soul Inhabiting Two Bodies
Tumblr media
My moodboard/edit for IronStrange Spring Fling
Prompts: Embrace, Water, Proposal
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, 
while loving someone deeply gives you courage.
~ Lao Tzu 
All water has a perfect memory
 and is forever trying to get back to where it was.
~ Tony Morrison
This is post-endgame but canon divergence. Tony and Pepper are best friends. Tony is alive and loses his right arm, but makes a waterproof prosthetic. He’s retired from Iron Man, but he still provides help with his Iron Sentry and still provides support for Rhodey with War Machine and any superheroes that need it. 
Tony starts hanging out with Wong when Pepper and Rhodey are busy with SI and the Avengers. Wong ends up loving Tony around, helping figure out how to properly incorporate magic with technology, like meshing the two into one new power/magic and they have a gaggle of learners curious and ready to try. 
In the beginning, Stephen is annoyed at Tony cuz he stole his best friend Wong from him but slowly accepts the friendship because it brings in a new kind of energy that everyone is thriving willing to learn because Tony is curious about how the sorcerors' magic works and it inspires everyone to think of magic in a more playful and safe way cuz safety first. 
Tony finds the doors with the knobs that change places, and with Wong’s help finds waterfalls because Tony loves waterfalls. He finds them peaceful, and so he often spends some time at the waterfalls, and Stephen curious starts going along with Tony with the excuse “You don’t know what dangers there are at those places.”
The two learn more about each other as they spend more time at the waterfalls and anytime Stephen is free from superheroing. They also go to places, not the waterfalls that Tony’s always wanted to see but had been too busy being Iron Man and saving the world to see. Tony confesses that seeing Stephen turn the black hole that Thanos threw at him into butterflies made him realize that Stephen, despite being an asshole, is just soft and lovely. It’s why when Stephen walks into Tony’s place, holograms of beautiful blue butterflies start flying around them.
Stephen and Tony start going out. They have biweekly dates at any waterfalls that the two can find. Wong helps keep the environment protected from the two and them from the nature around them. (I like to think that there's a magic that can erect some kind of invisible barrier that protects the plants or something) They swim in the waterfall if it’s safe.
The two men learn to love each other deeply and as they keep going on dates, they both go to their friends, Pepper and Rhodey and Happy for Tony and Wong for Stephen. They go to them for advice on how to propose to each other. They don’t know that they’re proposing to each other. 
They plan to go to the first waterfall they went to. They take a swim in the water and they have that moment again where they realize again “Fuck, I love this man.” And all plans to propose the way they wanted to fly out the window. They embrace while still underwater and start to swim to the surface, still in each other’s embrace. They’re just breathing in one face, really close to each other and they both whisper “Marry me?” 
And together in one breath, “Yes.”

Prompt Previews
So a few of you have been kind enough to send me some prompts, and since they are all still in progress, I wanted to post a couple little excerpts from just a few WIP’s while you’re waiting, to thank you for your kindness and trust in me writing your prompts!
These are heavily shortened, so if they don’t quite make sense, don’t worry, they will be fleshed out a lot more in the real fics, but I didn’t want to spoil too much! Also, if you don’t see your request below, don’t stress! I have others currently in progress not listed below. You can always check out the queue and request or talk about ships here. I love being sent random headcanons if you’re ever looking for an ear to listen!
Below the cut, you will find snippets from:
-Doctors are the Worst Patients
-Stephen Falls Asleep Everywhere
-Tony Has Feelings About Stephen and Thor. He Doesn’t Know What Feelings, But He Has Feelings.
-The Mystery of Stephen Strange’s Daughter
**Titles subject to change

DOCTORS ARE THE WORST PATIENTS (5+1) (Ultimate Supreme Family)
Stephen woke slowly, blinking in and out to America dabbing his forehead and cheeks with a cool, damp cloth, slow and gentle.
It took him a moment to get his bearings, unfamiliar with being doted on. America was sat in the middle of the bed, eyes concerned and concentrated as she tended to him.
He had to admit, he wasn’t feeling fantastic, but it was just exhaustion catching up to him, he wasn’t sick, like Tony had insisted that morning. He just needed to wake up a little more, get moving and he’d be fine.
“Hi, Baby…” Stephen’s voice was a little croaky,
“You have a temperature,”
Stephen reached an arm out of the covers to gage the heat in his face, “I’m just a little warm… nothing to worry about…”
“You need to cool down.”
America persisted with her efforts, and Stephen didn’t move to stop her. Actually, it felt quite nice.
He shifted to reach an arm out to caress the side of her leg, so incredibly grateful that this little angel let him be her Dad. She was far too good for this world.
“Is Dad awake?” Peter peeked around the door frame,
“Hey-“ Stephen greeted, and Peter came in to sit on the bed, the boy reaching out to him,
“You’re warm,”
“I’m fine,” Stephen denied again,
“He has a temperature,” America countered.
Peter moved to brush the sleep out of Stephen’s eyes, and Stephen gave up arguing with them, closing his eyes and instead just enjoying having them close.
He didn’t want them to worry about him- it’s supposed to go the other way, he was supposed to stress over their well-being and helicopter their illnesses.
But maybe just for a second… his muscles were a little achy, come to think of it.
~~~
STEPHEN FALLS ASLEEP EVERYWHERE (5+1) (Ultimate Supreme Family)
Stephen was his Dad, through and through, Harley didn’t even think about that other pathetic excuse of a man anymore. This is what family was- falling asleep together on the couch during movie night. Now that Harley was the young man of the family, it was his job to make sure they all made it to bed.
“Come on, Pops…”
“I’m sleeping,” Stephen slurred,
“I know, on the couch, you gotta go to bed,”
“Just leave me here…”
“Your back in the morning’s gonna hate you,”
“Mm,”
Harley sighed.
It was a good thing he was bigger than Stephen these days.
He wriggled a hand under Stephen’s legs, and lifted him from the couch as effortlessly as a person could possibly lift a fully grown, 6ft tall man, pulling the exhausted sorcerer close to his chest as he carried him bridal style out of the living room.
“What the…”
“Shh, I got you,”
“Put me down-“
“You can’t even keep your eyes open-“
“You can’t carry me-“
“Well, I am. Shut up and let me do something for you for once,”
“You do plenty of things,”
“Yeah? Like what?”
“You make me happy…”
Harley shook his head, humoured by his fathers delirious rambling, “Let’s get you to bed,”
“Mm.”
~~~
TONY HAS FEELINGS ABOUT STEPHEN AND THOR. HE DOESN’T KNOW WHAT FEELINGS, BUT HE HAS FEELINGS. (IronStrange get together)
Tony’s fist twitched, and that was the end of it.
He had no explanation for the heat consuming his body, boiling under the skin as he roughly pushed his hair back, jumping to his feet and storming towards the door.
It was a loud ordeal, enough to startle Stephen awake, but Tony was already half way out the door, ignoring the protests from the other hero’s at the meeting as he raced down the hall, hoping to escape the confusion swirling in his head.
Tony didn’t like Stephen and Thor.
Specifically.
He didn’t like Stephen and Thor.
The thought of them separately was fine. Stephen without Thor was fine. But Thor and his stupid big bicep giving the sorcerer a pillow was-
“Stark…”
Tony whirled around to come face to face with the sorcerer, and in that moment, it hit him.
~~~
THE MYSTERY OF STEPHEN STRANGE’S DAUGHTER (Doctor Dad and Multiverse Daughter)
When Stephen had asked to bring a plus one to dinner, Christine had pictured a tall, strong, beautiful superhero, or maybe someone he had met through magic. She hadn’t even considered the possibility of a kid at his side on her front step.
“I didn’t know Stephen had a daughter…” her husband whispered once the pair had passed them, down the hall and towards the dinning room,
“Neither did I…”
Her head was spinning…
They were identical.
Their walk down the hall, matching handshakes with her husband. They moved the cutlery the same, sipped at their water glass the same.
America shared his sense of humour, his cockiness, she sat up straight and her eyes owned the world, the way Stephen’s always had as a surgeon. She was intelligent, beyond what her years would allude, and the knowing glances and private jokes between them made it obvious.
America was his daughter.
Christine did the math.
Was there someone else she hadn’t known about? Had she made their entire relationship up in her head? Was there other people he was seeing on the side? Was she flirting with a man who had a partner and baby at home?
Was she a home-wrecker???
“Christine?” Her husband called,
“Hmm?”
“Should I prep desert?”
“Mhmm,” she nodded to her husband, feigning indifference.
