AGH!!. this is so cute?! I love how they are allowed to be happy.
For @rangels
I was the pinch-hitter for Rangels. I chose prompt 3 which was: I take anything. And I'll cherish it. I ended up choosing this prompt because I wanted to do this idea I had and to make it into a moldboard and playlist.
In this AU, Tony and Pepper end up breaking off their engagement but are still best friends. Tony survives at the end of Endgame because the Guardians of the Galaxy remember what they did when Peter held the Power Stone. Tony's got some damage to his right arm as bad that he loses it. He does a lot of physical/occupational therapy to get any movement back in his hand and hand. Tony is retired but he still plans to train Harley to take over in the future for the iron suit.
Tony is at home in his small mansion and is bored, so he decides to get a switch cuz Peter-Man once mentioned it before the Blip and he's heard about the new Animal Crossing game, New Horizons, and Fire Emblem Three Houses. Breath of the Wild was already out a few years ago, but he decided to also get that cuz open world. It also helps that he's able to use the controls as a way to help with coordination for his right hand.
(LET'S PRETEND THAT THOSE GAMES CAME OUT A FEW WEEKS BEFORE ENDGAME OKAY. WE ARE ALSO GOING TO PRETEND THAT NINTENDO ALREADY CAME UP WITH THE NOVEMBER 5 BIG UPDATE FOR ANIMAL CROSSING AND ANY DLCS FOR IT, FIRE EMBLEM THREE HOUSES. BOTW HAS ALREADY BEEN OUT SO ANY DLCs ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE)
Tony ends up getting both games and is learning to just chill and relax without getting too anxious about what's happening superhero-wise. He's actually having fun with video games. Stephen visits Tony and they just hang out with each other, almost every other day because Tony has a schedule of who is visiting on which day, but he likes it when Stephen visits outside of his scheduled day. Stephen also gets to learn who Tony really is, because, in those 14,000,605 futures that he saw, he only saw what Tony was like in those fives years until the end.
(Stephen only sees that one future where Tony dies, so he thinks that he just sent Tony to his doom, he doesn't take into account the quick jumpstart of the memory of the Guardians with the power stone)
Anyways, he learns what Tony is like after those five years and slowly they end up falling in love with each other, Stephen falls in love all over again as he fell in love with the Tony from all those 14,000605 futures and not the Tony after Endgame.
