Post-movie: Barbie knows all about crying by now - but not while she's actually happy. Of course, Gloria is there to clear it up for her - which only reminds Barbie of everything else she forgot to thank her for. And to tell her just how she's inspired her. And when she can't quite accept/believe she could do that, Barbie gets to build her back up this time. Post-movie conversation with major spoilers and major female friendship/bonding [though those who want to read baby gay undertones into it can]

What if when Wanda dreamed about her boys in another world, there was another part of that life the Darkhold didn't want her to see? Or rather, another person in that life - namely someone named Peter Parker who saved her life.

By the time our Wanda learns that, our Peter is on his class field trip to Europe - and she gets there right in time to expose an evil plot before it starts. Which then makes so many things better for her and Peter, and the multiverse as well.

But when the dust settles and Wanda starts dreaming again, her dreams/visions of her first world with Peter become more...explicit. [Explicit parts in Chapter 2/3]

Chap 3: Wanda wasn't the only one dreaming about...other Wanda's night with other Peter. Or the only one now willing to do something about it on our world.

**********************************

In these parts, Multiverse of Madness DID. NOT. HAPPEN. At least not like THAT. This is my fifth attempt in almost exactly one year to rewrite history and erase it before it starts.

After Tony Stark's funeral, Wanda is actually comforted by someone other than Clint about Vision - in this case an equally mournful Peter Parker. And in this scenario, they actually start to become friends...yet Wanda is still unable to reach out to Peter right before, during or after Westview.

Its only after Peter is exposed, and rejected from MIT with MJ and Ned, that Wanda finds him again and offers to use her newfound powers to fix things. However, she neglects to tell him her mass mind erasure spell - and the side effects when it is messed up - came from the Darkhold until it is too late.

Multiversal villains, team-ups, tragedy and unlikely allies ensue - if not exactly the same as usual.

Welp, this is it.

Thank you so much to everyone who left kudos, bookmarks, comments, hits, etc to this story, even as my attention was clearly divided between it and my other MCU rewrite – though this is more of a loving expansion/reimagining of a superior MCU film than when I tore out Multiverse by the roots.

Final Chapter: Find Peter + Credits - Only one person remembers the world prior to that morning at the Statue – but not for much longer.

Chapter Twenty-Two: Forget Peter - Peter Parker is lost, and found - and lost again - as multiple worlds are forever changed.

Chapter Twenty-One: Loved - Peter confronts the Scarlet Witch

[robertdoc]

In my fic "Because I Knew You," Wanda Maximoff was unaffected by the "forget Peter Parker" spell, actually became neighbors and friends with him, and eventually destroyed the Darkhold before ever targeting America Chavez.

Unfortunately, now a sorceress named Clea is after her instead, to destroy her before her multiversal incursions further destabilize the multiverse and the Dark Dimension. But when Stephen Strange learns of this - and eventually realizes Wanda is not behind it - he brings her and Peter to protect America with him.

Thus what SHOULD have been Multiverse of Madness ensues - with Clea as the all-powerful female villain NOT made out of sexist tropes/character regression, Wanda and Peter side-by-side to help save America, Stephen thoroughly on edge around Clea for many reasons, and different kinds of multiverse travels, cameos and surprises all around them.

Welp, this is it.

Thank you to everyone who has read/lasted this whole way through, or joined in at some later time or another, or who left kudos/favorites/bookmarks for one reason or another, or who just came in to rant about universe-717, or anyone else who dropped in for whatever reason.
