@just-inside-her requested this one and I live to serve their astounding music taste 😊
Tumblr media
He should move on.
He knew he should.
But he couldn’t forget what he’d lost.
He didn’t want to forget.
No matter how much he wanted to, his promise kept the memory of him alive.
Why had he promised such a foolish thing?
Why had he allowed himself to be haunted every time he had a quiet moment or closed his eyes to sleep, knowing he’d only dream of him?
He knew eventually these things would pass, but he wouldn’t forget.
Even when he lost his mind and forgot his name and what he’d meant to him, forgot all their shared moments together and how and why he’d lost him when they should have grown old together, he would never forget his face.
Tony rubbed at his eyes.
It should have been him, not Stephen.

Yes I have been listening to this song all day, how’d you guess?
Tumblr media
Tony and Stephen were married, but even though Stephen had been in love with him, is still in love with him, Tony never was.
Tony was expected to marry, and holding onto the fairytale of love was not something he could do any longer.
So, when Stephen proposed, Tony had little to no choice but to say yes.
And it struck him only a week into their marriage that they were barley compatible for one another.
Whenever Stephen was at home and he wasn’t sleeping, he spent most of his time reading his books while Tony wanted to talk or go out somewhere to fight off the boredom he felt constantly.
And while Stephen obliged, Tony could feel resistance coming from him about engaging in the things Tony liked to do.
So, lonely in their relationship with Stephen’s late hours working, Tony is unfaithful.
And when Stephen finds out about it, Tony doesn’t hold anything back.
He wants to be with hos lover, not Stephen.
It hurts Stephen to know that he never made Tony happy, that they were so completely similar yet different and he never saw his own husband straying from him.
That he was never there to prevent it from happening.
But he won’t let Tony go.
He moves them away from everything and everyone, in hopes this will keep Tony from straying again.
A month passes in silence, only breaking it to snap at one another.
As the second month slowly drags on, Tony begins to see the toll Stephen’s work is taking on him.
How he’s fighting a losing battle, and is more angrier than usual when the frustration and tiredness get too much for him.
Even when Tony tries to offer him some words of comfort, Stephen shuts him down immediately, straining their relationship further.
It’s only when he wakes one night in his study to find Tony had placed a blanket on him during the night to keep him warm that he begins to talk to husband again.
And slowly, so very slowly, they begin to heal.
They acknowledge their mistakes and they try to start anew.
Only this time, they are both in love with the other.

Some villain Tony and Stephen for tonight while planning out my next fic.
Tumblr media
They were a team.
Together they could fell any Avenger who tried to stop their plans.
And they did.
Multiple times.
Tony’s tech and Stephen’s sorcery were no match for anyone who dared to even try to come between them.
Villain team ups were one thing, but villains who were also desperately and infaturely in love with one another were a completely different story.
When one was pinned down or in danger, the other would unleash Hell upon the unlucky hero who’d managed to get the upper hand.
They’d lost too much to lose eachother now.
With their lover free, they would take the time to make sure they weren’t injured, to make sure they didn’t want to call it quits for the day and try again some other time.
They knew their limits.
They knew when they were outmatched or when they could or could not take on the back up that had inexplicably arrived.
Sometimes they would stay.
Sometimes they would leave.
But one thing was clear.
It was hopeless to fight them, to even think the heroes could win against them.
The world would be theirs one day, and after that?
Only they knew that.

It’s the end of the month and with it comes the end of my music month.
Thank you to everyone who sent in requests, and for taking the time to read through these writing exercises.
They’ve been a lot of fun and have freed up space in my brain so I’m not thinking about different fic ideas whilst trying to get the one I’m struggling to write off the ground.
If you guys still want me to cover any songs or movies, I’ll be more than happy to answer any requests, it just won’t be a full month of it as I am completely out of movies and ideas for music.
Or if you wanna send me an ask about anything, I’ll answer.
So, to leave us all on a high note, I chose this song for tonight.
I hope you enjoy it and I hope to hear from you guys sometime!
Now, without further ado, let’s do this one last time!
Goodnight!
Tumblr media
Together, they couldn’t really stand one another.
Too similar in almost every aspect of personality, and with matching moon sized egos to boot, you would often hear them talking down the relationship as if it meant nothing to them at all.
But alone, they were almost unable to function.
Tony wouldn’t even be able to distract himself with working on his suit, opting instead to just lay around on the floor and scare everyone into emergency mode whenever Friday’s voice would chime in telling them all Tony had a pain in his chest.
And Stephen?
Stephen felt just like that armour Tony wears.
Emotionless, robotic, and completely useless without Tony, unable to perform simple spells due to his hands shaking so violently, needing Tony to take them and soothe them like he always did.
And yet, when brought together once more, when the weight in Tony’s chest lifted and Stephen’s hands stilled almost completely, they would be right back at it again as if they didn’t want the other to know just how badly they needed them.
The two were honestly made for one another and they knew it.

Hello everyone! Got another request for you tonight. @just-inside-her has another great song for us!
Tumblr media
God, how much they’d changed.
After their initial argument about Stephen’s moral compass when it came to Peter, Tony had had to distance himself from his former flame.
Yes, neither of them had wanted kids back then, but that was back then!
And just what the hell was Stephen doing back in New York in cosplay anyway?
Last Tony had heard from him, Stephen had been living overseas.
He looked out the window as stars flew past them.
Why had Stephen come to get him now when the world was seemingly about to end?
He couldn’t pop up a couple of months, or hell a couple of years ago and ask him how he was?
How life had been?
If any of the plans they’d talked about were still just dreams?
Tony turned when he heard him trying to sneak up to him, the light almost making him look like that young man he’d fallen for so long ago.
Stephen wasn’t there to apologise about his remarks.
He wasn’t here to wax on about their past or how different they were now.
Tony could see it in his eyes.
But then, whatever Stephen was going to say seemed to get stuck in his throat.
He’d meant what he said, meant every word of it because that’s who he was now.
He was Sorcerer Supreme.
But looking at Tony.
Not the celebrity.
Not the Iron Man.
Just Tony.
His first love.
Everything slipped away, and he was Stephen Strange once again.
God.
How much they’d changed.

How about we take this song and give it a happy ending?
Tumblr media
How had Tony found him?
He’d been keeping his distance from him before ultimately returning to Kamar-Taj just to get away from him.
And now he was here.
Thoroughly pissed off at being forced to travel half way around the world just to talk to him.
But why?
Why would Tony want to talk to him after everything he’d made him go through for five long lonely years?
How could Tony just forgive him for taking away the only people he loved so he would have a reason to bring everyone back?
How could he stand there in his suit, his right arm made completely from it, and not want to kill him?
He had left him in peace, knowing Tony was better off without him, and now he was here.
Stephen would try to say something poetic about why he’d left and Tony would shut him down.
Stephen would try to walk away and Tony would stop him.
Stephen would look at the ground and Tony would force him to look at him.
And Stephen could see a hint of fear in the few more lines of Tony’s elegant features.
Was he too old for him now?
Was he too broken?
Was that why he had left?
If that’s why then Tony didn’t know why he was here and Stephen could go jump for all he cared.
But when he felt that hand on his arm pulling him back, he didn’t put up any fight.
And when those lips found his, soft but a little chapped just like how Tony remembered, they both forgot how stupid they’d been to jump to conclusions.

Getting this one out early before my power goes out again
Tumblr media
He should have known.
He’d seen the signs, he’d had experience with people close to him betraying him.
But despite it all, Tony had still trusted Stephen.
And it hurt so much that the man he had fallen in love with had just been an act.
All of those nights together when it was just slow and loving.
All of those long talks over coffee, letting the silence fill in as much of what they didn’t want to say.
All of those moments where Tony had been at his most vulnerable, the moments which made up what Tony had been referring to as their relationship, hadn’t meant anything to the dark sorcerer.
He’d just used him, like everyone else did.
Tony didn’t want to hear any apologies, he didn’t want to hear that voice saying his name in the way which made Tony’s knees weak.
Tony closed his eyes so he didn’t have to look at him anymore.
God, he was so stupid for not seeing this happening sooner.
Or, maybe he had, and had just chosen to ignore it, hoping he would be proven wrong.
Of all the things he’d gotten right in his life, why hadn’t this been one of them?

Can’t believe how fast this month is progressing.
Tumblr media
The bed was lonely without Stephen’s warmth beside him, bringing in a chill that Tony could feel even through three layers of coverings.
He hadn’t slept, just lied awake staring at the empty pillow as if that would somehow will it’s owner into existence.
It had been a stupid fight.
One they were both in the wrong to start, and keep going for as long as they had.
Tensions and blood presssure had been high and Stephen had left, his hands shaking so badly he’d failed to create his portal on the first try.
And Tony didn’t know if he was coming back.
They’d both had time to calm down and regret what had been said, but maybe they’d gone a step too far this time.
No.
Tony wouldn’t let a petty fight, one of the many they’d had, come between them.
He had no idea where Stephen had gone, but he’d find him.
No matter what it took.
No matter how long it took.
He would find his dumb, stubborn wizard and bring him home.
He’d just gotten out of bed when he heard it.
The mystical swirl of a portal opening.
And stepping through it, was Stephen.
They didn’t need words, enough had been said already.
Apologies could wait or remain as a silent agreement between the two, they weren’t as important as the man before them.
They moved at the same time, Tony holding him tight and Stephen holding him close.
And everything felt right.

Can I make an au with an instrumental piece?
Let’s find out, shall we?
Tumblr media
Apologising to one another never just came out right.
They’d sit in silence, each defensive their argument was correct and would do so until doomsday if they could.
But they each had the same tell which let the other know they were ready to bury the hatchet and move on, and that was the piano.
Whenever one would move to it and begin to play, would be the cue for the other to join them when they were ready.
And once both were sitting on the bench, turning the solo piece into a duet often came with its own hurdles when hands were slapped away or dark looks were shot in their direction for trying to lift the melancholy melody into something lighter.
But when the challenge to follow the other’s lead was accepted, their apology to one another would be played together, fingers dancing along the keys as their music said what they often had difficulty putting into words.
And it would lift into the higher notes until they each fell to the floor, smiling and giggling and content to move on.

Another request from @just-inside-her! I am spoilt. And I love it 🥰
Tumblr media
No matter what happened in his life, no matter what the press printed or what people said about him, Tony knew he could turn and always find Stephen there, never swaying from his side despite the stupid things Tony always did or situations he’d often find himself in.
He could be a sweaty mess covered from head to toe in machine oil having not bathed for a week and Stephen’s only complaint would be about how many tools he had to push out of his way to get to him.
Tony would wake in the middle of the night, expecting Stephen to have grown sick of him by now and gone, but would find him asleep facing him, no matter what moods they might have gone to bed in.
He didn’t expect to sit up talking with him about what was on his mind, absolutely positive that it wasn’t important, but they did and did for hours until all the noise finally went silent and he could think again.
No matter what was on his mind, no matter the time, no matter what may be more important, Stephen was always there.
Something of which thoroughly confused and always surprised him.

Anny request for tonight! It’s such a sweet song, I hope I did it justice.
Tumblr media
Neither of them had expected to meet again.
When what had been between them so long ago had come to a screeching halt, each had moved on with their lives, simply accepting the decision neither had made nor wanted.
And when their paths crossed again, it was almost a shock to see just how each had grown over the years.
And how easily they seemed to fall right back into the relationship which had never truly ended.
It had taken so many long, lonely days and lonelier nights when their memories would keep them awake, wondering if the other was thinking of them.
Sadly believing they weren’t, unknowing they were.
But now they didn’t have to wonder that anymore.
Now they were together again and after so many wasted years apart, they weren’t going to ruin this second chance they’d been given.

Requested by @mystical-magician, who saw some angst potential in this song.
I hope I delivered.
Tumblr media
When they had first met, Stephen didn’t know what to make of Tony Stark.
He’d known the celebrity almost all his life, but the man?
He was something Stephen hadn’t been expecting.
Everything he’d thought he’d known about him was swept away by all the insecurities and anxieties and fears he could see bubbling under the surface of the mask Tony wore so well.
He was a mess, often trying to hide his pain with humour, something Stephen saw right through as well.
He knew these things, because he was the same.
Maybe he thought if he fixed Tony, then he could fix himself at the same time.
Maybe he thought there was a chance to break down the walls they each had built so high to keep people out, or to keep themselves in.
And Stephen was determined to break them down and reach the man within.
But when Tony started to open up to him a little bit more, when he started to rely on Stephen more, when he began to let Stephen closer, Stephen’s walls climbed higher.
And he knew he’d never change.
Not even for Tony Stark.

It’s another night for some feel good feels.
Why not?
Tumblr media
It was the loud roll of thunder that did it.
Spring was turning into summer and a large storm had been predicted for a few days now.
It was early morning and still relatively dark outside when Stephen woke to the hail beating against the glass of the window overlooking the city.
He had gravitated to one side of the bed and had kicked the sheets off himself completely while Tony was curled up on the other side facing away from him.
He moved in to close the gap between them, wrapping an arm around him and thankful for the air conditioning that allowed him to do so without breaking into a sweat.
He’d just gotten comfortable, head resting above Tony’s with a few strands of his hair tickling his nose every so often, when a loud roll of thunder shook the very walls around them.
Suddenly Tony was fighting him off, Stephen having no clue what was happening as Tony broke free and toppled out of the bed.
Then he was scooting backwards along the floor to the large window.
Stephen was out of bed and turning on the lamp before walking toward him slowly, allowing Tony to see his approach.
“I’m fine doc just...just give me a minute...”
As Tony tried to calm himself, Stephen took in what he could.
Tony’s pupils were dilated.
He had sweat beading his forehead but he was also shaking.
His breathing seemed to stutter out of him as if his throat wasn’t allowing the air through and he had a hand resting over his stomach, rubbing slightly.
Stephen moved his hand to rest on Tony’s chest, almost recoiling from the rapid beat he could feel against his fingertips.
Tony’s other hand clasped his wrist and kept it there.
“Don’t go.”
Stephen wanted to get Tony some water so he didn’t dehydrate, or at least move them back to the bed where they’d be comfortable, but instead he nodded, sat down beside him, and reassured him he wasn’t going anywhere.
Tony’s eyes seemed to unfocus and Stephen quickly used his free hand to massage his scalp, hoping to chase away any dark memories or creeping headaches.
When the sun finally peaked out from behind the clouds, they were once again asleep, Tony using Stephen as his own personal pillow, a doting cloak wrapped around the two to keep them warm.

For @i-love-my-selfinserts who wanted some Bryan Adams.
I hope you like it!
Tumblr media
Anyone else living a normal, happy life didn’t have to fight to keep it.
They didn’t come home broken and bloody, almost on death’s doorstep because they refused to let the one they were fighting for enter it to help them.
Anyone else’s relationship probably wouldn’t last that long if that were the case.
But not theirs.
Not them.
Tony had been covered in his blood more times than Stephen would like to remember, had had to drag his sorry, unconscious, broken body to bed and stitch him up while he was out more times than Stephen ever had during his practicing years.
But Tony did it and he did it without complaint.
Stephen might be a stubborn pain in the ass who liked to disappear for days on end to fly solo while protecting the world Tony lived in, but he was Tony’s pain in the ass and therefore Tony’s to take of.
Stephen trusted no one else more.
Loved no one else more.
And while anniversary nights were often forgotten and date nights were put on hold until indefinitely, they never minded.
Every morning they woke up together was like Valentine’s Day.
Every day off where they could just laze around together and do whatever they pleased was better than any date night either of them could have planned.
They didn’t need anything more when they had eachother, and no enemy alive would leave alive if they dared to try to take this away from them.
It’s what you do when you love someone.
You fight for them, and every second you get to spend with them.
