#i needed ironstrange fluff so i wrote some

I figured out what went wrong with the IronStrange arranged marriage (sort of) fic.
Unfortunately, the place it went wrong was right from the start.
The idea that I had, that I wanted/intended to be writing: Tony and Stephen end up in an arranged marriage. Instead of tons of friction as they figure out how to live together they hit it off right away. Medium-short length. Fluff! Maybe amusement!
The idea that I was actually writing: Tony and Stephen, both desperate to sort their lives out, enter into an arranged marriage. It works out pretty well, and together they are able to get to where they want to be. Medium-long length. Serious. Some romance.
The set up I used was perfect for the second idea, and everything that followed naturally and logically from that set up went down the path of the second idea.
But that wasn't the fic I set out to write, so I wasn't happy with it.
Having figured things out, I feel a lot better, in no small part because this means the time and words invested in the fic weren't wasted. I do actually like the words I wrote, I was unhappy because I was writing the wrong fic. I can set it aside and when I want to write that fic, there'll be a 6800 word starter waiting for me.
I've also now figured out the correct set up to get me down the path of the first fic idea (well, 90% of it). I might need a short palate cleanser before the second attempt, though. *wry*

Here’s my 2020 year end writing summary:
***
I didn’t write anything lol.
No, actually I did. I just didn’t post a lot of what I wrote. Due to a concussion, a med fix and getting the rona a lot of my writing was incomprehensible. 
***
Here’s what I posted:
Three Inch Lifts vs Five Inch Heels - MCU, Dr. Pepperony (or whatever the pepper/tony/dr strange ship is called) smut that’s pretty incoherent 
Of Grief, Schemes and Sundry - MCU, Ironstrange main story. This is a side fic to the Cat Ears series
The Dead Ringer Ax - Marvel, Ironstrange, smut and fluff
***
Here’s what I worked on:
SAO type fic - MCU, ironstrange + ace loki poly - I’m working it into an original novel bc the characters are so ooc y’all’d hate it. And, it was my NaNo to get a plot set and feedback for an original novel anyway so yeah. Doing the novel, then I’ll write fic about it lol
A/B/O soulmate time travel fic - MCU, ironstrangefrost - it’s dark y’all. and it deserves careful planning.
Dragon!Tony fic - MCU, ??? - I just started it/got down ideas and it’s super weird. 
Cat Ears part 2 - MCU, ironstrange - had a lot of blocks on this but now i’m 8 chapters in and i can see the end of this segment
Of Marriage and Other Binds - Sherlock, Johnlock - I’ve got part of the next chapter done. I lost the notes for the rest of the fic so remembering everything is difficult
A Coincidence By Any Other Name - Sherlock, Mystrade and Johnlock - I wrote the next two chapters, decided they sucked and now I’m stuck
Dragon!John fic - Sherlock, Johnlock - when I asked for more info the feedback I got was way darker than I wanted to write. I am already kinda uncomfortable about some of the stuff in there. So idk, it’s on hold until I can decide what to do with it.
His Dark Materials fic - MCU, FrostIron - jotted down ideas and wrote some. it’s def “off” so it probably wont go anywhere
2 Broke Girls fic - MCU, Ironstrange - it doesn’t work without being ooc. I am looking into making it a Sherlock fic
Some stuff that my computer deleted bc it’s helpful like that
***
And I’m probably forgetting a lot. If I promised to write you something shoot me a DM or smth. It’s not malicious, I just have a terrible memory and my computer deleted the list of things I needed to do.

HEYA!
So i read a lot of fanfic. like. a lot. of fanfic. its well written, awesome characters, amazing authors and artists, is something i can easily keep with me when I am on the go bc i can leave it open on my cell’s internet app, and its fun. fun to read, fun to connect w the creators, fun to experience characters in other ways. so what imma do on sundays - maybe weekly, maybe more spread out - is post links for all the fics i’ve read in that period. this is the first one. settle in for a crap ton of epically written works to which I claim absolutely no credit, i’m just a reader of these great works! Again, no credit to me, all credit to the amazing authors of these works!

This is just Peter’s sort of luck: getting speared straight through but somehow remaining mostly whole. It’s the kind of irony that he would find amusing if it didn’t apply so often to him

“Spidey, they’ve got reinforcements. We’ve hit a bit of a snag here, and I don’t think anyone will be able to help you for a while. Think you can sit tight while we deal with this?”
The pressure on his lower back and legs was becoming too much. Peter swallowed thickly, fighting down panic. He could handle this.

With May gone, Peter is an orphan and sent to foster care. He doesn’t stay long, the abuse he receives there becoming too much.
Despite being homeless, he still puts on the suit, Spider-Man getting him through when being Peter Parker couldn’t. It’s a chance encounter that brings Tony and Peter together.
Doing the right thing seems easy, but in reality, it’s far from it. Tony is going to make mistakes and so is Peter, but maybe, in the end, they’ll be alright. Recommend the whole series!

Peter falls somewhere in the second category.
He's made a list of what he has, keeps it zipped up in his old backpack to make sure he hasn't lost anything important. It isn't long: a carefully folded wad of cash in the bottom of his bag, hidden away to make sure nobody else can find it; three granola bars for emergencies; ibuprofen (fighting crime isn't safe, kids); his Spider-Man suit (that's what he's decided to call himself); a pair of extra socks; his pictures.
That's it. Everything Peter owns fits in one bag.
That's his lot in life.
Pathetic.
(In which May and Ben died in tragic circumstances, leaving a fifteen-year-old Peter Parker to fend for himself. Enter Tony Stark: genius, playboy, billionaire, philanthropist, and- apparently- Spider-dad.)

That was oddly specific. Glancing down, he looks at what little he can see of the kid’s shirt—which isn't much since there’s so much blood now, but what could be once called a cartoon joke is printed on it. “Um, yeah?” “Son of a bitch.”
Otherwise known as how Rhodey finds out about how old Peter is, and how badly he needs to beat Tony with a stick.

Tagged: All About Me and Fanfic
Thank you for the tag @atypical-snowman !! <3 These are all really great questions, I can’t wait to dive in.
1.  At what age did you start writing fanfiction?
I started writing fanfiction at the ripe old age of seven. It was second grade, and my teacher asked us to write short stories. Most of my classmates wrote about talking pets, or just a fun day in the life of a character with a name one letter different from their own. ... I wrote a self-insert Peter Pan fanfic. I turned it in, and the teacher absolutely loved it. She made me read it in front of the entire class, which was both very embarrassing and very rewarding. From that moment on, I was hooked on writing and the rush it gave me. I kept writing fanfiction, though I didn’t know it by that name at the time, as well as my own original work. It wasn’t until I discovered Quizilla in eighth grade that I published my first fic - another self-insert, this time for Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare.  I kept writing original works through high school, then picked up the fanfiction gauntlet again when I was nineteen and have kept on with it since.
2.  Who is your favorite author?
Oh god oh god I can’t choose one. Uhhhhhhh.... Okay. I’m just gonna list some people who I’m really super into reading right now from the IronStrange fandom, though there are so many more writers who I enjoy: twobettafish (doesn’t everyone love them?), @visionarygalaxy, @tonystarrks, @incorrect-ironstrange, and @meshkol. I need to give a shoutout to @turtleoftheabyss ( @turtlewritesthings ), whom I adore as a writer, an alpha/beta, and a person. And also shoutout to aroacewritingplace from the Parley ship, without whom my ao3 notifications would be a lot less angsty and wonderful.
3.  What is your favorite kind of scene to write?
It really depends on what I’m feeling. If I’m feeling happy, I write fluff. But if I’m feeling angsty I’m taking all you bitches down with me ;)
4.  What is your favorite fanfic?
Nope nope nope nope NOPE. I hate this question. Okay, so, I love a lot of the heavy hitters of course: From the Top, Citizen Erased, and literally anything twobettafish writes. But here are some of the fics that I love and think are underappreciated, just going by kudos counts:  I am here by polyommatusblues R&R by @turtlewritesthings tap dancing on a land mine by Culurien Of Madness and Carnage by @visionarygalaxy Those are all IronStrange, of course. In Drarry my favorite is All Our Secrets Laid Bare by @firethesound , and my favorite Parley is He Made Me Who I Am by aroacewritingplace . There are so, SO many other fics I adore, this is just a tiny sampling.
5.  What tags do you avoid like the plague?
Watersports. To each their own, it’s just not my kink. Everything else is pretty much fair game.
6.  What AU do you wish you could write, but feel you won’t manage?
I've never made the decision not to pursue a fic because I thought I couldn’t pull it off - all of my plot bunnies sitting in their graves ended up there because I didn’t have time to feed them.
7.  Do you outline or write as you go?
Oneshots I plan down to the detail. Multichapter fics are trickier, though. My brain will latch onto a few key scenes or twists, and as I write the rest all falls into place around it.
8.  What has been your favorite story to write so far? Without Light , which I wrote for an IronStrange gift exchange to @ironstrange-is-the-endgame . It’s the longest oneshot I’ve ever done, and it required so much medical research and emotional energy. I really appreciate how it pushed me as a writer, to stick with something that wasn’t coming as easily to me as other fics usually do, and I love the end result.
9.  Do you prefer to write one-shots or multi-chapters?  Why?
I like writing oneshots in a series. I’m telling a long story of one set of characters, so there’s room for readers to explore them and their relationships to one another, but I’m not chronologically limited like I would be in a multichapter fic. If I want to write Tony and Stephen married with a kid I can, and then tomorrow when inspiration strikes I can jump back to their first date.
10.  Which is your favorite kind of comment?
Each and every comment I receive absolutely makes my day. That being said, I particularly love when readers tell me their favorite lines, because a lot of times they’re mine too. Sometimes it takes me literal hours of writing, revising, and revisiting a sentence to get it just right, so when someone takes the time to tell me how much they loved it I feel like the results were worth the effort.
11.  Why did you start writing fan fiction?  Why are you still writing?
I started writing fan fiction because of a school assignment as I said above (I really need to go back and thank that teacher), and I kept on writing because once I set that flow of words loose I couldn’t bear to dam it back up again. @turtlewritesthings @helathesixth @lacrimula-falsa @tonystarrks your turn!

Spooky's Masterlist!
Since I've written a couple fics and posted them on here, I decided just in case there's someone out there who hasn't seen it/gives a flip about my writing to put them all in one convenient lil place! I also am trying to delve into writing x reader fics cause there aren’t enough of ones for male readers (though, I’ll take requests for any reader you may want in the fandoms I’ve listed!) All things listed are things I’ve either written for or would like to write for!
Fics
"Goodnight, Rogers" is a fluffy lil stony oneshot for those like me who ship the heck out of that. This is honestly one of my favorite fics that I've written for Marvel thus far, will literally rot your teeth out with all the sweetness!
A Broken Man and a Winter Soldier is a Stucky oneshot I wrote that is way more angsty than I intended, it's like my high school self threw up in a hot topic onto Bucky and Steve. so enjoy that!
The Invisible Little Android is a chapter story (which I started and kind of abandoned for a bit but I'm starting it back up again I swear) to make up for the total lack of Simon appreciation in Detroit: Become Human, because he deserves love, too, guys!
Connor vs Cat is a little fluffy thing that I wrote about my android son interacting with the world. if you can't tell, all of my teeth will be rotted out by the time I’m 25 because I LOVE FLUFF
Connor and Hank on Christmas ft Sumo is exactly what it sounds like. A fluffy fic of my favorite android with his human dad and dog on Christmas!!
Super Father’s Day is a drabble I wrote for Father’s Day because I needed to have a fluffy family fic for my favorite superhusbands this father’s day
Saving Captain Steve is a oneshot thing I wrote for a writing challenge, the title is very self-explanatory, but I tortured Steve just a lil bit 
Late Nights and Hot Chocolate is another oneshot in my fluff series because there's a lot of fics about Tony's nightmares so I made one for Steve's
Breathing and The Lack Therof is one of my favorite fics I’ve ever written, a super fluffy one where Tony saves Steve from a panic attack
May I Have This Dance? is a no power au oneshot that I wrote about Tony and Steve meeting at a wedding :)
Burning with Love is a short lil surprisingly Stucky sickfic, with cute nicknames and a feverish Stevie
In The Most Cliche Fashion Possible; I Love You is a spideypool fic in which Peter is an oscorp intern before he becomes spider-man and wade is,,,,also there with some fluff and angst sprinkled in (so far it’s 3 chapters!)
Collections
Flufftober 2022 is exactly what it sounds like! I'm gonna be posting a fluffy one shot for every day of October! (Ships may vary from fandom to fandom)

Kinda Fun
Tumblr media
*Deadpool sits on a chair* Hello Tumblr, This is an acceptable compromise. So get ready weirdo's, here's your story..... ACTION!
Warning: swearing, this is Deadpool so.... Take it with a grain of salt
______________________________________________
Deadpool leaned against his favorite taco truck. "Ah it's already a good start, it's got tacos! Which granted aren't as good as chimichangas, but you take what you can get when it comes to writing.. am I right?" Wade turned his head to the man inside the truck.
"Please sir, your scaring my customers." Indeed, people were giving a wide berth to the vigilante. His mask was pulled half up his face as he ate a taco.
Wade huffed, and shoved the rest of his meal in his mouth. "Fine..." He said thickly, through a full mouth. He swallowed, and walked off. As he turned down an alley, and jumped back.
"What is with you and alleys? Is it some sort of fetish or something!?" His thoughts yelled. But that was not the reason he had jumped. It was Spidey!— and he was huge!
"Petey! What happened to you!"
Peter flinched back, and tried to back up. "Mr. Wade! I don't know what happened to me! I was swinging by, and then something shot me, and now—."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Wade held his hands out. "You said someone shot you?" He asked.
Peter nodded. "And now I'm huge! What am I going to do?"
Wade sighed. There was not much he could do.... This was an avenger sized problem. "Sorry Petey, but this one is out of my hands, litteally! You should go get dad stark, to call his magic boyfriend, and have him shrink you."
"He's not my dad..." Peter mumbled. "But.. I can't! There's people and—"
"Are you scared? Is the great, incredible, amazing Spiderman scared?"
"No..." Peter denied.
Wade hummed, and came up to Peter, and began clambering up his leg. "Mr. Wade," Peter twitched and shifted. "That kinda.." he snorted.
"Hold still! I don't want to snap my neck just because your ticklish! Because then we would have to wait for it to grow back."
"Sorry Mr. Wade..." Peter apologized.
Wade reached the top of his shoulder, and stood, grabbing a handful of Peter's mask. "It's fine Petey, now I'm about to say something I've been waiting all fic to say. Giddy up little spider! Hi-Yah!" He slapped Peter's head.
"Uh, what?"
Wade huffed. "That sounded better in the authors head. You ain't blaming this one on me buddy!" He shouted to the sky. Peter rolled his eyes, Wade was doing that thing again, where he yelled at the wall or sky. He stood.
Wade lurched forward, and toppled off the shoulder only to be caught by Peter.
"Mr. Wade! Are you alright?"
Wade sat up. "Yeah, I'm fine. I fell five feet kid."
"Oh, ok."
As Peter stepped out of the alley, people gasped, and pointed. Deadpool could feel Peter's hand shaking slightly.
"Hey! Pe-Spidey! Look at me. Just look at me!" He tried to jump out of Peter's hand, but Peter snagged him, and lowered him to the ground. "Alright! This way," wade walked backwards waving his hands to Peter. "Just follow me!"
"Um... Mr. Wade. Your hoing in the wrong direction..." Peter pointed his finger in the opposite direction. "It's that way.."
Wade sighed. "Fine." He darted under Peter's legs to the other side. "This way..."
They had to stop for directions anyways, after Deadpool had insisted they take a secret shortcut, across a construction site.
"And it would have worked to! If it weren't for the author. They haven't even been to this universes New York, it could have worked!" Wade crossed his arm. "Your just running out of ideas, and need a higher word count."
Peter rubbed the back of his neck nervously as they approached the tower.
"Alright see ya Spidey."
Peter raised his finger, and tapped the building. "Um... Mr. Stark..."
Wade rolled hjs eyes. "Where is that billion dollar *ss?" He stormed up to the door and slammed his foot through the glass door. Imediately the alarm went off. "There we go."
Within minutes Stark came flying to the tower, he stopped short at the sight of Peter.....and Wade.
"What the helllck. Heck, happened? And what is he doing here?" Stark pointed at Wade.
"I ran into your spiderling after my on set lunch break, and brought him here. You're welcome, and if you feel like passing out rewards, I'll take a cool Mill."
Starks face plate came up. "Hold on Peter. I'm gonna call a friend in, and we'll get this fixed."
Wade grinned, and rubbed his hands. "Oohh, are we about to get some ironstrange fluff going maybe? Some angst? I prefer fluff but..." He shrugged.
"What?"
Wade turned to Peter. "Well you see spidey, when a fandom on Tumblr loves two men very much..."
"Wade!" Stark snapped.
Soon, Stark called his friend. And if it turned out to indeed be the doctor well, he really was the only one who could fix Peter.
"What happened?"
"It's not relevant to the plot. Don't worry." Wade said, patting Stephens shoulder as he did his magic.
Stephen shot Wade a side look. "Do you mind...?" He gestured to his shoulder.
"Nope! Fire away sparkly." Wade grinned, leaning against the doctor. Stephen pulled away, causing Wade to fall, and finished shrinking Petter back down.
Peter beamed under his mask, and ran up to hug Stephen. "Thank you Dr. Strange! Thank you!"
Stephen stiffened, but then placed his hands lightly on Peter. "Your welcome." Peter let go and ran over to Wade who already had his hands out, though Peter didn't.
"Wade?— Whoa!" Peter was squeezed by Wade, his feet lifted off the ground.
"I'm so glad we are all finnally back to our original sizes! What a rush! No more size fics for me please."
Peter snickered, to happy to care. "What? Whatever, you want to get something to eat? I'm starving!"
"Yeah! Chimichangas here we come!" He let go of Peter, and pushed him. "Race ya!"
Peter toppled back to the ground, bjt jumped right back up again. "No fair! You had a head start!" He laughed, throwing out a line of webbing to catch up.
Stark raised a hand to stop them. "Peter wait! Not with him!"

that endgame deleted scene is killing me, so here’s a (not great but) wholesome ironstrange short to combat it:
“This feels like a betrayal. I miss him, I want to be with him again.”
“Then I think it’s time we make that happen.”
“You’re serious?”
“FRIDAY, activate the ‘on the mend’ protocol, please. And yes, I’m serious; it’s time.”
++++
Wong was rudely interrupted from his mystery novel by frantic knocking at the Sanctum’s door.
“Strange, I’m in the middle of a chapter! Get the door please.”
“No.” Stephen’s broken voice called quietly across the house.
“Ugh, fine, but don’t get mad when I give you a full synopsis of what I just read.” Wong had recently gotten into mystery stories. The idea of detective work appealed to him, and it was different enough from his sorcerer duties that he could immerse himself in them when he needed a break.
After putting his book down, he opened the door to see a flustered James Rhodes.
“Is it time?”
“Yep.”
Wong smiled. “You’d better come in, then.”
Rhodey followed Wong inside and took a deep breath. This was a good thing. Stephen was probably going to be pissed, but not for long.
“Would you like anything to drink?” Wong offered.
“Decaf coffee, if you have it,” Rhodey replied. “Thank you.”
“Of course. I hope you didn’t have any difficulties getting here, I understand that the traffic can be a mess when you don’t have the luxury of traveling by portals,” Wong said.
“You seem to have forgotten that I can, in fact, fly. Thanks to Tony, of course,” Rhodey replied.
The entire vibe of the conversation and the building itself changed when Rhodey uttered his best friend’s name. Something felt lighter, and it probably had to do with what was about to happen. It probably had to do with the gentle footfalls that could be heard in the near horizon.
“Rhodey?”
++++
“What I’m about to say is going to be out of character for me, but it’s important; don’t be dramatic about this when you go to see him. Leave the drama to us,” Tony requested, a glimmer in his tired eyes.
“As if I’d ever steal your spotlight,” Rhodey teased. “How do you even know there’s going to be drama?”
“Silly question, Platypus. You know how we are. Plus, you know he’s hurting,” Tony replied. He became very sad, suddenly, and a few tears made their way to his eyes.
++++
Wong quickly hurried out of the room, muttering something about having to check on a relic. In reality, the librarian made a beeline for the living room, picked up his book, and began to discreetly eavesdrop on the conversation in the kitchen.
“How’ve you been?”
Stephen didn’t know how to answer such a stupid question, and he informed Rhodey of that fact.
“Okay, valid point,” Rhodey replied. “But seriously, have you been doing okay?”
“I’ve been keeping myself busy. The trait of working past the point of exhaustion has transferred itself to me, I suppose. I just have to keep going and going, lest I allow myself to get absorbed in my memories,” Stephen said.
In truth, he was trying to get over Tony, he really was, but it was hard. He couldn’t stop thinking of the proposal and everything that was going so right before it all went so wrong. He thought of his mistakes, his selfishness, and his selfish mistakes.
“You know that nobody blames you, right? Least of all Tony,” Rhodey began gently.
Stephen scoffed. “How would you know whether he blames me or not?”
“He told me yesterday that he doesn’t,” Rhodey replied.
Wong placed his book to the side so he could watch Stephen’s reaction. He hadn’t known until today that Stark hadn’t actually died. Yes, the power of the infinity stones knocked him unconscious, and he was pronounced legally dead for a few minutes. Stephen had fled immediately after the man stopped breathing. He’d missed the moment when Stark was miraculously resurrected (to this day nobody knew how or why it happened). Obviously his medical condition and chance of survival once we woke up was in some limbo, and that’s why Stephen still didn’t know that he was okay.
“I’m not telling him until I’m absolutely certain that I’m not going to die from this,” Stark had said firmly. “So no one tell him. I’m not going to get his hopes up only to let him down.”
Wong figured that Rhodes was here because it was finally confirmed safe to tell Stephen. Wong could tell from his facial expression that Stephen was confused, maybe a little hurt, but mostly doubtful.
“How can that be?”
“He had me over for dinner last night, and he told me to tell you not to blame yourself,” Rhodey said.
“You’re fucking with me, and I don’t appreciate it,” Stephen snapped. His voice was shaky, but he still held his authority.
“No, Stephen, I’m not,” Rhodey replied. “I’m really not.”
“But he died, FRIDAY said so,” Stephen said, “I don’t believe what you’re saying.”
Rhodey smiled with a twinge of sadness. “I know you don’t. That’s why I’m here to show you that I’m right. Can you open a portal to the lake house?”
Stephen made the portal, stepping through it just before Rhodey did and just after he told Wong where he was going.
As the pair walked towards the house, Stephen turned to Rhodey and said, “You know if you’re wrong about this, there’s a chance I’ll never speak to you again.”
“That wouldn’t surprise me, and I don’t blame you. I’m not too worried about that, though,” Rhodey said. He’d seen movement from inside the house, and he knew that whatever was going to happen next would be sickeningly emotional.
“Why?”
“Because I know I’m not wrong.”
Before Stephen had a chance to reply, the door opened.
“Are you two going to stand out here all day, or are you coming in?”
++++
“I didn’t expect him to pass out.”
“How would you react to the news that your fiancé is miraculously back from the dead?”
“What, are you saying we should call it even now?” Stephen asked, blearily entering the conversation.
“If that’s what you want to call it, sure.”
The hand brushing through his hair felt too soft and familiar. He didn’t know what the hell was going on, but nothing actually felt real. Sure, the sensation of Tony’s hand playing with his hair felt real and soothing, but for all Stephen knew this could have been a dream.
“Anyway,” the voice sounding suspiciously like Tony’s continued, “that’s not funny, Platypus. To answer your question, though, you beat the Titan that caused his death.”
That remark brought Stephen back into the battle against Thanos. He heard the words “I am Iron Man” in his head, he saw Tony die, and he felt his world growing colder as he left the scene through a portal.
“I didn’t say it to be funny, Tones.”
The hand in his hair stilled, and soon Tony (was it Tony? Was it very human-like AI? Stephen didn’t fucking know) was laying down and cuddling up to the sorcerer, just like he used to.
“What the fuck is going on?” Stephen asked. “Rhodey what the fuck?”
“I told you.”
“I don’t understand,” Stephen said. “Tony died, I— I saw it.”
“I don’t quite know what happened. Everyone was gone when I somehow woke up, and I still don’t even know how this was all possible. Once my eyes reopened, though, I figured I’d try and fight through all of the harm I sustained during that battle. I told myself that I wouldn’t tell you I was okay until we were certain I’d fully recover from this. I wasn’t going to get your hopes up for no reason,” Tony explained.
“I don’t know what to say,” Stephen whispered. He gently reached out for one of Tony’s hands. “You’re actually here?”
Tony stood up, much to Stephen’s sadness (he really liked cuddling, sue him). After flashing a soft smile, he said, “Yeah, I really am.”
Stephen sat up. “I should be mad at you.”
“Livid, probably,” Tony said. He was going to stay something else, but before he could, Stephen leapt up and wrapped his arms around him.
He was crying embarrassingly loudly, but he didn’t care. “For the record, I am a bit pissed, but more than anything I’m really happy,” he cried.
Tony just nodded and hugged him back. He wasn’t sure what to say, honestly. In truth, he hated himself a little bit. Was it selfish of him to want to spare Stephen the pain of his coming back to life and then dying because of a failed medical procedure? Maybe it was.
Once he calmed down a little, Stephen smiled mischeviously at Tony.
“What?” The genius asked.
“I’m thinking about all the ways that I can convince you to let me decide on a color scheme for our wedding,” Stephen said mirthfully.
“I thought you picked already!” Rhodey shouted from the kitchen.
“Maybe I’m changing my mind again,” Stephen said. He dropped his voice to a near whisper. “Assuming, of course, that there’s still a wedding to plan now?”
“Of course there is, though I was a bit worried you’d be so mad at me you’d— never mind. I don’t even want to put that thought out there,” Tony said sheepishly.
“Good, don’t. I wouldn’t,” Stephen said. “Not after an emotional response like the one I just had. Not after all we’ve been through. Not after how much I’ve loved and appreciated you, not after how much we’ve both grown.”
“Trying to make me cry, asshole?” Tony asked, drying his eyes.
Stephen pulled him into a hug. “Now we’re even, douchebag.”

soft moments with ironstrange post endgame (screw the canon ending, in this story the radiation of the stones just amplified the pain of the snap so tony broke his arm and passed out but he’s getting better and alive and happy) ft. carol and pepper
Stephen looked down at Tony, who was laying sprawled across him with his head on his chest. They’d been like that for some time, Stephen’s arms wrapped lovingly around a half asleep Tony. Said man sleepily reached up to ruffle Stephen’s hair, stretching in the process.
“You can’t tell me that’s comfortable,” Stephen said.
Tony shrugged, “Don’t care. Don’t feel like moving.” He yawned and then added, “I wanna listen to your heartbeat.”
Stephen was flooded with another rush of love for Tony in that moment. If he could make the drum in his heart beat louder for him, he would without hesitation.
Tony ever so gently wrapped his arms around Stephen and hugged him, his arm (which happened to be in a cast, but that didn’t stop him from hugging) slightly bent (I mean, as much as one can bend their arm whilst in a cast) as to cradle his head softly. “I love you,” Tony whispered.
“I love you too,” Stephen said, yawning. He didn’t realize he was tired, but the sun was coming warmly from the windows and it felt nice.
They were silent for a moment, both drifting in and out of sleep, until Tony finally quipped, “of course NOW my arm starts hurting, as soon as a peaceful moment comes along.”
Stephen laughed quietly as Tony moved his arm and got into a slightly less painful cuddling position.
“You laugh, but I did just save the entire world. I protect reality too, you’re not the only one,” Tony said indignantly. He soon settled on his stomach, still laying on top of Stephen, with his head resting in between the taller man’s heart and his shoulder.
“Comfier?” Stephen asked, the mirth still present in his voice.
Tony nodded, “Yes, but if you put your arms around me it’d be even nicer.”
Stephen pulled Tony back into a hug and began to card a hand through his hair. Every now and then, he’d lean forward to place fluttery kisses on his face. Tony smiled. For once, he seemed content and willing to sleep, and you know what? After everything he’d done for the world, he fucking deserved it.
++++
About an hour into Tony’s nap, Stephen had fallen asleep. A moment or two later, there came a knock at the door.
“Fri who’s interrupting my nap?” Stephen asked.
“That’d be Miss Potts and Captain Danvers,” FRIDAY replied, quietly as not to wake the still slumbering Tony.
Stephen rolled his eyes and quietly invited the two women in. He didn’t know that Pepper and Carol had become friends, but as he saw them walking in with their arms linked, he smiled to himself. Good for them!
“How’s Tony?” Pepper asked, sitting in an armchair and crossing her arms.
“Waking up from a nap that was, to be honest, too short,” Tony replied, snuggling further into Stephen.
“You were right, they are nauseatingly cute,” Carol said to Pepper.
“I told you,” Pepper replied, “Anyway, I have things to do but Carol wanted to come say hi, so I brought her around. I’ll see you later.”
Polite goodbyes were exchanged as Carol occupied the armchair that Pepper had just vacated.
“Carol, are you and Pepper a thing?” Tony asked, his voice muffled from where he was pressed into Stephen’s side.
“No, we’re just good friends,” Carol replied.
“Ah. I was preparing to give you a very stern ‘be respectful of my CEO and longtime friend’ talk, that’s why I asked,” Tony said.
Stephen laughed, “Much like the ‘Stephen you may be the sorcerer supreme but the man you’re dating is my best friend and brother and if you disrespect him magic won’t do you any good’ talk that Rhodey gave me.”
Tony sat up a little, “Precisely.”
“Okay but on the topic of relationships, is winking at somebody during a battle an appropriate method of flirting?” Carol asked.
Tony, who was now on his back and reclining against Stephen, looked up at the sorcerer humorously.
“Tony always makes fun of me for this, but yeah winking is good flirting but it depends on where you are. I winked at him when Thanos’ lackeys dropped into New York, and we’d known each other for less than an hour at that point,” Stephen explained.
“Why do you ask, Carol?” Tony said, curiosity overcoming his tiredness. He could sleep another time, gossiping and chatting and reminiscing with his husband and his new friend was his main priority at the moment.
“Oh, do you guys know Thor’s friend, the one he apparently just named Queen of New Asgard?” Carol asked, a slight blush coming over her cheeks. Somebody once told her that they’d never seen the Captain blush, but thinking about Thor’s friend always got that response from her.
“The one who was riding the white winged horse? I have no clue who she is but I saw her. I didn’t know he’d made her queen. Good for Thor, he needs some rest,” Tony said.
“Isn’t that funny? Someone who never sleeps talking about rest,” Stephen teased, gently dropping a kiss on Tony’s hair and laughing as Tony shushed him.
“Yeah, her,” Carol said, laughing at the couple’s antics. “She winked at me, and I talked to her after the battle about how I thought we’d make a great team and she told me to go visit her in New Asgard and said something about being co-Queens of a place is good teamwork, so there’s that.”
“That sounds like a marriage proposal, you’d better go follow up about that,” Tony replied, “Let us know how it goes.”
He laid down again, his head in Stephen’s lap. He’d be interested in hearing about Carol’s adventures in love, but what he really wanted was rest and relaxation with the one he loved. According to Stephen, he deserved it. For once, Tony agreed.
