Summary
Stephen should have known that leaving Tony Stark unsupervised in the Sanctum was asking for trouble.
He only needed five minutes. Five measly minutes to complete a containment spell he'd been studying for weeks—something that couldn't be interrupted. But five minutes with Tony Stark loose meant fifty different chances for chaos.The noise came first.
A metallic crack, a short laugh, and then an "oops".Series

Summary
Tony opened his mouth to reply, his lips already parting to form the carefully measured words that would require two separate rooms with single beds, but Stephen was quicker—and dangerously at ease.
"Yes, miss. A room, a bed," he said with that smile that was pure defiance, and winked at Tony.
The hunter froze for a split second, his brain processing the audacity of the statement while he felt heat rise up his neck above the collar of his coat.
The girl blushed, trying to hide her laughter.Series

Summary
"Breathe," Tony's voice cut through the growing panic, soft but firm as he approached Stephen. "Don't fight it like it's an enemy. The broom senses your tension and gets nervous too. It responds better if you relax and trust it."
"Easy for you to say," Stephen retorted, his words coming out more breathless than he intended, "you were born with aerial balance."
"No," Tony replied, serious for a moment. "I learned. I fell more times than I can count during my first year. I fractured my right wrist twice, spent more time in the hospital ward than in the classroom. But it was worth every second."

Summary
Stephen Strange's first official day as Peter Parker-Stark's temporary guardian began at 5:47 a.m., when the sound of metal being dragged across marble echoed through the silent hallways of the mansion. Stephen was already awake. He found Peter in the middle of the living room, surrounded by pieces of what appeared to be a disassembled drone, his small, dexterous hands already working with an Allen wrench that was far too large for his fingers.
"Good morning, Peter," Stephen tried, in a firm tone.
"Good morning, Dr. Babá!" Peter replied without even looking up, completely absorbed in the contraption before him. "Look, I'm trying to turn this thermal sensor into a magnetic levitation device! Dad said it's impossible, but I saw the schematics on his computer..."

"Funny, isn't it?" he said, opening it with a soft snap. "I die to save the world, and you bring me back to it. Then the world returns me with a burnt arm and a dose of nightmares."
Stephen let out a short, bitter laugh. "I should have let you sleep."
"You should have," Tony replied instantly, leaving no room for doubt. "But it's a good thing you didn't."

The day began like any other.
Stephen was reviewing old notes on containment spells—nothing that required intense concentration, just enough to keep his hands busy, in the corner of the laboratory.
Everything was fine. Until it wasn't anymore.

Stephen leaned his bike against the wall and crossed his arms. “Your ‘secret laboratory.’ No one’s going to tell you to stop enjoying things here.”
Tony stared at him, surprised.
For a moment, he was speechless—which was rare. Then a shy smile appeared.
— You're terrible at hiding secret places, you know that?

Stephen swallowed. “He… came back.”
The penguin moved. Slowly. First a paw. Then the head. And finally, the gaze—empty, but aware.
Tony abruptly switched off the monitor. “That’s not biology. That’s not disease.”

Summary
Jordyn Wen could make magic. She could lay a grown man flat on his back with a well-placed kick, restore her mother's 1967 Chevy Impala with her own hands, and take the role of chief meteorologist during a universal crisis at age twenty-seven. She just couldn't tell Stephen Vincent Strange that she was embarrassingly, frantically, and outrageously in love with him.
Stephen Strange had watched the woman he loved marry another man, and to top it all off, there were no otherworldly threats to keep him distracted. The only time he felt anything real was with Jordyn, who kept him on his toes all while keeping him grounded. Christine had asked him if he was happy, and Stephen was scared to admit that with Jordyn, he was.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is the Chinese celebration of the Moon when it is at its most beautiful and bright. It is a night for relationships, reuniting families, and love.
*Ignores all Multiverse of Madness plot points with the exception of Christine's wedding.*

—“you already married.”
—“So it’s going to be a triangle, congratulations.”

Nothing.

America chuckled softly. — “Just push.” You speak as if they aren't two of the most stubborn people on the planet.
— Okay, yeah, there's that — Peter scratched the back of his head. — But think with me: they've already saved themselves together, they've already fought together, they've already… you know… looked dramatically at the horizon together. Everything's ready. All it needs is a little push.
America picked up his own cell phone, his nimble fingers typing.
—Then leave it to me. I send the message. I bet Stephen will go down just fine.Series
