Where is my love?

a/n: can you tell how much I adore angst? Idk how i feel about this one, but i kinda like it??? Hope you’ll enjoy <33

summary: Stephen finds himself in a different universe. He goes to the Sanctum Sanctorum where he meets someone who’s been long gone, you.

pairing: Stephen Strange x variant!reader

word count: 1.8k

warnings: hurt no comfort, angst

The darkness around him felt heavy, oppressive, almost surreal. He was in New York, but it was nothing like the city he knew. Silver moonlight broke through heavy, dark clouds showing him even more of an atrocity that he wasn't able to see at first. A few mockingbirds were sitting on a dead tree, they tried to sing, but the sound that came out was almost like screams of tortured souls. This universe was rotten down to its core, even howls of the wind were dreadfully unwelcoming. He was pretty sure that he got stuck in an empty universe with no one to help him.

He walked through vacant streets wondering what happened to this place. All of the buildings were destroyed, with no grass on the ground, only dirt. Street after street of abandoned houses drowning in the darkness of this world looked the same. Each house was once a home, a home belonging to a family and now there was only hollowness and coldness. If there was hell he was sure that this was exactly how it looked like. The closer he got to the Sanctum Sanctorum the quieter the world got, even the wind seemed to be gone. When he finally saw the building shivers went down his spine, he had never seen so many dead birds laying around one place. He was never the one to believe in bad omens but this one made him want to turn around and run as far away as he possibly could. The dead bird is considered to be a symbol of discontentment, loss, grief and hopelessness. They also symbolise that the place that you're in is unsafe and he was aware of that. He looked at one of the birds lying next to his feet and noticed something on its crown, a symbol that he has seen only once before, in the book about the darkest magic. It looked like whoever did this was in possession of the darkhold and what was even worse, knew how to use it. He took a few deep breaths and walked towards the doors. If there was a way for him to come back to his universe it was through objects and books from the Sanctum. As he approached them the smell of rotten corpses was unbearable. Whatever was inside was probably as vile and wicked as what was outside.

Before he was able to push the door open, a portal appeared underneath him causing him to fall. He hit the wooden floors of the building's hallway. He immediately stood up ready to fight the person that opened that portal, but he was alone. His only companion was the silence that allowed him to hear his shaky breath. Much to his surprise, he didn't smell the corpses anymore but the sweet, familiar scent of paperwhites. He decided to follow it and as he did he entered the living room that looked just like the one in his New York except it was messier. He looked around and found plenty of ancient magic books tossed around the tables, some artefacts and a few weapons. What got his attention was a small frame laying on the floor a couple of metres away. It looked oddly familiar. He wiped out the thick layer of dust that revealed a broken glass underneath which was a picture of you and him. He was always happy while being next to you. No matter where his life was taking him as long as you were near he felt safe. Tears formed in his eyes, in his universe you were gone, you sacrificed yourself for the universe. Another version of him probably went through the same loss. Lost in the memory of you he didn’t hear someone coming down the stairs.

“Hello, Stephen” this voice, the one he would recognize anywhere, yours.

His eyes widened, you looked nothing like he remembered, you were tired, no, exhausted. Dark circles were under your fatigued eyes. Your face was sickly colourless, almost corpse-like. He was carefully analysing your features. He didn’t even realise that a sad smile formed on his face. You walked towards him and for the first time in this universe, he felt comfortable.

“y/n,” he said, trying not to break down in front of you. He missed you dearly. Back at home, he thought about every possible way to bring you back or at least to let him say goodbye. He tried to touch your cheek but you stopped him by grabbing his wrist. That’s when he noticed your fingers. They were black, cursed by the magic of the darkhold.

“Why?” he asked you.

“There was no other way” you stated. Before you were able to continue you got interrupted by coughing up your blood. “Fuck” you mumbled to yourself.

“It’s killing you,” Stephen said, it was obvious how concerned he was. You weren’t his, but he couldn’t bring himself to act like he does not care.

“I know” you responded.

“Then why? Why are you using the darkhold? I’ve seen this world… it’s almost dead” his voice was a little shaky.

“Because as I said there was no other way” you don’t remember the last time that you said anything and considering your health condition it was a miracle that you still were able to do so. “We fought against Galactus, we were losing. If we’d lost that day the whole multiverse would have paid a horrible price for it. You absorbed the power of all six infinity stones just to buy me a little time” you chewed on your lower lips nervously as you felt tears filling up your eyes. “You distracted him and I tried to trap him in a pocket dimension but he was too powerful already. I managed to do so but…” you took a deep breath.

“But even the spell from the darkhold wasn’t enough to keep him locked up. You have to protect it” he finished your sentence.

“Yes, that’s why I look like this” you turned your head and felt disgusted as you saw your reflection in a window.

“Did… I leave you?” he asked anxiously.

“In a way,” you said and he felt his heart stop. How could he leave you knowing the price that you had to pay for keeping the multiverse safe? “You couldn’t handle the power of all the infinity stones. I killed you and destroyed all of them except for the time stone” you explained. “I kept the time stone so I can be here and protect the spell” you continued.

“You’ll be here until the end of everything?” he tried to touch you again and this time you allowed him. The feeling of his palm on your shoulder made you grin.

“Yes,” you sighed knowing that all that you can expect is pain and suffering.

“You don't deserve this, you deserve the world. That’s not how things should be for you” he said, his voice shaking.

“Where am I in your world?” you asked and just by the expression on his face you knew the answer “Sometimes we need to put ourselves aside Stephen. I’ve had plenty of time to learn about the multiverse and us. In every universe, one of us, if not both, has to deal with eternal sacrifice. I wish it wasn’t like that, I wish there was at least one version of me and you living a happy life” you smiled at him. “But I don’t think it’s meant for us”.

He would love to say that you were wrong but he’d be lying. He was trying to remember if he ever dreamt about you laying in bed playing with his hair and not having to deal with any sort of threat. His dreams were always the same, either you or he were dying.

“Can I ask you about this picture?” he pointed at the frame he found earlier.

“That was the day you proposed. We went to my favourite restaurant in Italy…” you closed your eyes and gulped. “I miss my Stephen, every day. Being here all alone isn’t helping with that, but trying to change anything is just a pointless resistance to the destiny” you coughed again. “I miss you too. I mean my version of you. I had all of you and then none of you, in just a few seconds I lost everything. I didn’t even get to say goodbye. I watched you die and I couldn’t do a thing about it” he said.

“I’m so sorry” you gently cupped his cheek and looked into his eyes. After a moment of hesitation, you placed a gentle kiss on his temple.

“You came here because you need to get out, right?” you said. You could read his thoughts, this one was buried deep down, almost hidden. Not from you, but from him.

“I don't think I want to” he responded.

“I can help you” you stated. “I know a spell that can open a multidimensional portal. It will send you home” shy smile formed on your lips. “How is your universe?” you asked.

“It’s beautiful. I wish I could show it to you” he grabbed your hand. “Leave this universe, leave with me, please” he was practically begging you.

“If that was an option for me I’d do it ages ago. If I leave and the spell breaks…I can’t afford that risk. I’ve carried the burden of the darkhold on my shoulders and I’ll do it for as long as I’ll have to. You see Stephen, everyone in the multiverse plays a part. I wasn’t born to be happy and have my little, sweet, dreamy life. I was born to suffer, take burdens and cause destruction. That’s how it is, was and always will be, all so the others can live in a peaceful world. The same goes for you” you sighed. “You're not meant to stay with me. My death was an absolute point in your life and yours was an absolute point in mine. We can not change it.”

“I know,” he said. You walked towards the large windows and within one swift move of your hand, you created a circle out of candles. He walked into it and stood next to you, your bodies inches apart. “I want to try something,” he said and pulled you into a kiss.

“Thank you” you wished you could keep the warmth of his lips forever. “Once I start we won’t have much time left. I want to say goodbye”

“This is our last goodbye, isn’t it?” he asked.

“I’m afraid it is” you answered and he nodded. Dark mist filled the room and you began to cast the spell. His eyes weren’t leaving yours until the light beam blinded him.

He was on his earth surrounded by so many people and yet he felt lonely. Then he noticed something in his palm, a paperwhite from the sanctums living room on the other earth, a symbol of hope.

Edited screenshot from Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness

I really enjoyed both Doctor Strange movies.

I’d have to say that in terms of overall story I like the first movie more but I will give the sequel credit for increasing the amount of cool trippy wizard shit that I felt was lacking in the original.

Got a theory for ya'll:

Those who think Sinister Strange is hot most likely also thought/think Ben Ravencroft from Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost is hot too.

Same kinda vibes and energy in my opinion. If not? Most likely just me then haha.

***MAJOR SPOILERS FOR DOCTOR STRANGE IN THE MULTIVERSE OF MADNESS***

Im fresh out of watching the movie and all so please don't mind if I miss some fact or whatever but by supposedly "killing" Wanda in the end of MoM(which I didn't believe for a second btw and was shocked that people actually did cause she is literally the main character of the mcu rn) was anticlimactic for the story that was leading upto it. Cause even though incursions take place and universes are at stake and Strange is under the influence of the Darkhold, isn't it all null and void that she began the journey as a villain realised her mistake by the end of the film and kind of fixed her damage? Like yes I know there is other Multiversal stuff happening and all but as far as her journey is concerned...well, I guess it was only for the journey because the destination was not far from what was already happening even if the Multiverse. It is still going to be shambles because there are other factors managing and responsible for it (Like Loki and Sylvie). And as dumb as the Illuminati was for thinking that the Scarlet Witch is not gonna be a problem they were right when they said that Stephen fucks it up because in the end the Multiverse thing was still happening. And I mean I guess that's how movies work and everything is fixed and back to where it was or whatever but this felt different. Which doesn't mean it was not important to intervene with what she was doing but I guess intervening caused it to get worse? Oh my god I'm spiralling. Someone please tell me this makes sense or I'll cry.

But all that being sad, I was living for Wanda finally embracing her dark side being the villain in this. She has gone through hell and back and was not going to be in a very hero space of mind after what we've seen her go through in Wandavision and especially before that. It's great that they unapologetically acknowledged that and her true potential as the Scarlet Witch. And Doctor Strange on the other hand was great as well. We got to see more of what he is going through and how he basically adopts America. I want to see more focus on him next movie though and his childhood and of course the whole Darkhold thing. I need to see a grand end to the Multiverse storyline too cause its just that complicated and it shouldn't feel rushed. That's all.

Decided to talk about a theory that has been consuming my mind ever since watching this video 👀

So I definitely have a feeling that the people that don't have red mist surrounding any of their eyes (Wong, Christine and Mordo) are going to die in MOM, but istg if they kill Regin George and our Beyonce stan, I will be walking out of that movie theatre! (I probably won't though)

Now the other all have red mist covering one of their eyes but I noticed especially in Wanda's and I think in Doctor Strange's that he cover part of their right eye. So I have a feeling that the other Doctor Strange that we've seen in the trailer (the one that we saw from What if?) Will be killed by someone - considering 18 people are rumoured to die.

Now with Wanda, I have two theories. One of which being that her -or someone else - may kill that other (Variant?) Wanda that we've seen in the trailer - just so that our Wanda can have her kids back, or the rumours of Doctor Strange killing Wanda are true but in the end credit scene or somewhere at the end of the film we see Wanda alive, because I do believe in the comics she can resurrect herself.

And lastly America Chavez has her eye completely covered by the mist which I greatly assume she's going to survive due to her being in future MCU projects.

Also, this isn't a theory that I'm going to be talking about here so you don't have to read this part if you don't want to. I'm actually so sick of some of you so called Marvel fans, mainly due to the fact that you've literally bullied a 15 year old off social Media just because some countries aren't going to be viewing MOM. It's not Xochitl Gomez's fault that her character is a Lesbian and that really shouldn't be a problem, but no, some of you are literally blaming a 15 year old for it when it wasn't her fault! DEFINE THE CHARACTER FROM THE ACTOR!

There rant all over 🙂

(Hopefully some people know this wasn't targeted at them)
