fanfic drabble emoji game

It's supposed to be a friendly competition. Best pumpkin carver wins, simple as that. Stephen thought it'd make a nice family tradition. Little did he know, a family like his couldn't have friendly competitions. 

He rubs a hand on his face.

Pumpkin pulp was blasted onto the walls, stuck to the floor, flying in the air and into shouting faces. He sees the cloak in the scene, nearly groaning aloud at having to wash it later. Tony catches his exasperated face, and a sly grin appears. 

The slimy, orange substance hits his face. 

"That's it!" he exclaims, and joins in.

So absolutely none of your reblogs or comments or anything have come through to me since your shadow ban so I'm hoping that following back works (though forgive me if I have zero to add to anything romantic lol!). Worst. Bug. Ever.

Hope life is getting better for you.

Ah, my friend, thank you so much - it's good to have you on board! And don't give it a second thought; just give those romantical posts & leanings of mine a wide and healthy berth😉😄

Maybe he’d be interested in camping out in Canada’s boreal forests in the spring and summer, setting up cameras and trying to document saw-whet owls engaging in homosexual behavior.

HAHA normally I end up with a boring sentence for this but this one is fantastic. That's too many words to tag but here goes...

Any (sfw) ironstrange fic refs?

Sorry for the late response on this— my memory is always pretty spotty, so I have trouble recalling good fics to recommend!

I’ll give you a top ten request, how about that? These are all AO3 fics!

End of Infinity by FriendlyNeighborhoodFangirls — I feel like if you’re a big shipper of ironstrange, you’ve gotta check out this absolute masterpiece of a fic!! It’s a suuuper slowburn, clocking in at 291+ chapters and still ongoing. Normally, I don’t read fics that aren’t finished, but trust me this one had me sobbing for days. Check out their other works, as well!!

The Blood in Your Veins by Aelaer — Wowowow, this fic absolutely shook me to my core. If you’re okay with some heavy angst, I would 10000% recommend this. Aelaer’s writing is so engaging and the care and understanding they have of Stephen and Tony’s perspectives and motivations are *chef’s kiss* Also, any fic that can actually make me care about the original characters within it? Automatically raises my respect for them.

The Sorcerer of Ephemeral Colors by Imagined — I LOVE FANTASY AUs FOR THIS SHIP!!!! Mage Stephen and Prince Tony go together so fucking well, I could go absolutely insane UGGHH!! This is another big boy fic, but the progression and story-telling, as well as the world-building are done so well!! If you like Fantasy AUs, you’ll love this fic!

(Sober) Companion by funkylittleidiot — It’s been a minute since I read this one, but I was thinking about picking it up again! Another AU fic, this time No Powers with the twist of Stephen helping people recover from their addictions! I wasn’t so sure about the premise at first, but honestly I loved how the author handled the subject matter from what I can remember. Heavy on the Tony angst. I really just love fics where Stephen takes care of Tony =w=;; I think this one is sfw? I really need to reread it 😅

The One to Bet On by airas_story — UGHHHH I LOVE THEIR WORK SO MUCH!!!! This is another fic that’s still ongoing! I am absolutely a SUCKER for time traveler Tony. It is so interesting to see what he does in the past to fix the future, and so far I’m really enjoying where they’re taking the story! Check out their other fics, as well, if you enjoy this one!!

Embers by surveycorpsjean — Idk man this is just a soft fic with these two 🥺💕 Steve and the other Avengers do make an appearance; there’s no character bashing or anything like that, but they don’t take up too much time in the fic! Stephen is just so smitten in this, and I absolutely adore it. Also another author you should check out their other works!

A witch’s cat by harpywrites — TONY GETS STEPHEN A CAT, AND ITS THE CUTEST THING EVER UGGHHH!!! Such a soft, feel-good fic, I absolutely love how Harpy writes Tony here. Seriously, if you just want a quick fic to make you smile, this is the one for you. If you want some heavy Stephen angst, though, check out the rest of Harpy’s works!! She loves to torture the poor sorcerer 💀

dream a little dream of me by DarkKitty1208 — You asked for sfw fics, so I’m not sure how deep angst can get before you call it quits? But if you’re cool with it, I highly recommend this one. Heavy Stephen angst with Tony helping him through his struggles; the imagery in this fic is stunning!!! Kitty has a very good understanding of Stephen and his struggles, so it’s super engaging to see this man trying and failing to cope with his demons! If you want more Stephen angst, check out Kitty’s LIBRARY of fics. Stephen never catches a break istg.

The Affection Thief by airas_story — I’m cheating by including them again on this list, but mostly it’s because I’ve run out of sfw fics 😅 THIS ONE IS SO DAMN CUTE!!!! Stephen gets turned into a cat and shenanigans ensue!! It’s such a simple concept, but the way my heart melted at how they wrote Stephen in this *sobs*

Annnd I’ll cheat for the final one, too.

Prophets in the Graveyard by FriendlyNeighborhoodFangirls — Another Fantasy AU fic because god I can’t get enough of them!!! This time with a murder mystery twist ohohoho! Another long boy with a slowburn because I love to torture myself in the best of ways. Again, this author just handles world-building, pacing, and characterization so so so fucking beautifully in their works. If you haven’t read from them, I beg of you to check out their fics!!

(Honorable Mention: you should absolutely also check out atypicalsnowman’s collection of works. I particularly love their “whatever souls are made of” fic, but it does have eventual smut!! Just seeing how Stephen and Tony would navigate a situation where they use a soul bond to defeat Thanos is ugghh so good.)

Summary: The life and times of Wong: Sorcerer Supreme, Librarian, and Target Sales Associate.

It was a quiet day in Kamar-Taj, and a quiet well-deserved after the months of reorganization and chaos that came with half the world reappearing. Things were finally back to the so-called new normal, a world that knew of the Mystic Arts combined with all the people that had come back after so many were feared lost forever.

Wong hadn't thought them lost, not once he learned Stephen's last words, but five years was still a long time. For now, there were many connections to reestablish, which Wong did in what little downtime he had.

But his downtime was short lived. Even as he finished penning the first sentence in his letter, he heard the door open without a knock, which meant it could only be one person. And when Stephen strolled through the door into his office with a smirk plastered across his face, Wong knew that his letter would need to wait. He was certain he wouldn't like whatever came out of Stephen's mouth.

"So when were you going to tell me," Stephen started, a crooked grin sticking through his words, "that you worked at Target?"

Strangesona: Seasonal Atronach

"We're just a step from fearless, Reach out for me my dearest: Don't you cry. You don't know, you're almost near it." - Tightrope (LP)

Part 1: Sketch I have been DYING to draw this boy for such a long time and finally, here he is! My Strangesona has been in the works since August of last year and I'm so proud to have finally finished his design. I was debating on if I would actually post him once it was finished, but thanks to the lovely @foxssketching, I decided that I really wanted to. This boy is very, and I mean very, picky about how I show him, and he would not work with me at all for the first hour I tried to sketch him. He kept telling me the pose he wanted was wrong and no matter how hard I tried, he wouldn't explain what he wanted. Finally with the help of @stewardofningishzida, I was able to get him to talk to me and tell me exactly what it was he wanted. After that, he basically just chilled out with me and relaxed until I got done. He had a couple of minor inputs - mostly about his cloak pauldrons and boots - but aside from that he was quiet. I have smelt evergreen for the last four hours and considering that I've caught a bug, it cleared my sinuses and I'm thankful. I'll probably be able to sleep now since I can breathe thanks to him. This is his autumn form, indicated by his "classic" robes, leaves on his antlers and mushrooms. My moonflower - @strangelockd - suggested it when he had me ask her what season she wanted to see him in. So, ta-da! I will upload a profile for him on the finished piece!

♒ - cooking/food headcanon

I think Wong enjoys cooking, particularly if he’s stressed. He’s prefers cooking over baking, though he can still do both. He thinks cooking is more hands-on than baking, therefore more rewarding in a way.

Soup or stew is a favorite of his to both eat and cook, because of how many ways it can be prepared and how easy it is to make a large portion. Cooking for others is also a sort of love language for him. (We often see Wong cooking for Stephen in the comics, though before that was merely because it was his job, but even now in the recent comics it seems he likes taking care of his friends by cooking for them, required of him or not).

While he does enjoy cooking for others, he doesn’t like cooking with others. If you want him to continue cooking for you, then you stay out of his kitchen. With as chaotic as his life is, he wants to be in control where he can, such as in the kitchen.

Wong isn’t necessarily picky about what he eats, but certain dishes need to be done a near perfectly. If his rice is still crunchy on the inside, he won’t like it. If the vegetable:broth ratio in soup is off, he won’t like it.

He doesn’t have much time anymore to cook due to his position, but he still finds time for it, especially if he feels there’s a need to. If Stephen’s hands are acting up, he’ll make sure he eats by preparing him easy to eat, silverware free foods. Say America failed a test, then he would try to comfort her with homemade deserts.

Alright I just wrote a lot more than I thought I could about food 😂

14 and 15 for fanfic ask game!

So... This ask was sent like, a month or so ago, I don't even think you remember sending it, asker, so I'm sorry for that. Haha >.< But anyway. Thanks for the ask!

I assume this was from this fanfic ask game from a little (long) while back, yeah? :v

14. What is your favorite part of the writing/editing/posting process? 

Oh, fun question!

I love thinking of a word mid-writing that I *hope* fits the sentence, and then search the definition and find out that it *does*. :D

I like writing pieces of dialogue or descriptions that make me go "gasp that was actually good!" or "oh my god I made that! I wrote that!" haha.

Sometimes I would be writing a scene and I'd remember a specific reader and go "Oh they would *love* this!" and that sparks joy.

I actually like fleshing out scenes. Fix the pacing and all that. I love being descriptive.

Loveeee writing inner monologue. Making my blorbos spiral into their own thoughts? Count. Me. In.

I would be insane if I didn't say I love receiving reviews and kudos in my fics. They keep me going. Seriously. Even the incomprehensible babbling and the occasional swarm of crying emojis. <3

15. What is your least favorite part of the writing/editing/posting process? 

Sometimes I embarrass myself by finding tiny mistakes that make big differences. xb Sometimes I catch them before sending it to my beta, sometimes my beta points them out, and other times those mistakes glare at me after I post them, lol. XD 

Proofreading. Is. The. Worst. When it's done, it's done. I usually cannot find the strength to reread the thing again after doing it for like 500 times already. I hate it. I want to get rid of it already. Rereading my own works make me cringe at myself sometimes. XD

Taggggsss. Tags are fun sometimes but they can also be extremely *hard*. I dread it. I have to skim through my work (again!) to ensure I didn't miss any tags or mistagged anything.

I think that covers most of it? Again sorry for the delay!

[sobeautifullyobsessed]

I just made myself a little sad...

While watching No Way Home, specifically the scene where Stephen attempts the initial casting of the Runes of Kof Kal, my mind posed a fic worthy question ~ what if that particular spell only lasts as long as the Sorcerer who cast it is alive? In the course of his work, Stephen dies. Peter would wonder why the heck he's suddenly remembered, so he stops at the Sanctum and learns the news😔.

But furthermore, and as we know Stephen dies and comes back to life in a surprising manner of ways, what if he comes back this time too? He'd remember everything...and thus, we can have Stephen and Peter interacting, even teaming up again.

Hmmmmm, maybe not so sad after all😉.

[inevitably-johnlocked]

Hi Steph, do you have anything where Johnlock meets someone looking exactly like them? Maybe they meet their clones or themselves from an alternative universe or cross-over with Everstrange is also fine. It'll be interesting to see Sherlock trying to drag John's doppelganger but he is like who the hell are you, get off me? Or an alternative Sherlock showing affection to John but it worries him because his actual Sherlock isn't affectionate or maybe they fight over him.

Hey Nonny!

Best I got are the Multiple Johnlock fics:

Clones / Multiple Universes (READ and MFLs)

Victorian Meets Modern Johnlock

I THINK I've actually had a couple fics recced to me where Sherlock became Dr. Strange, and another where they meet Iain from WTF? Let me see....

Ah I think I found them!

Takes Two To Tango by phqyd_roar (E, 12,956 w., 6 Ch. || Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Crossover || Sherlock/Iain & Johnlock || Post S4 Fix It, Jealous John, Whirlwind Romance, Fluff and Angst, Dirty Talk, Bottom Sherlock, Virgin Sherlock, Alternate Ending) – Just when Sherlock Holmes is beginning to think his relationship with John Watson will never recover from all its ups and downs, he meets Iain MacKelpie, freelance photographer back from Afghanistan, who looks exactly like John Watson.

Into the Multiverse by AnAnYaH (M, 21,958 w., 18 Ch. || Avengers / Sherlock / Dr. Strange Crossover || Multiverses, Everstrange, Parentlock / Teenage Rosie, Sad Sherlock, Angry Sherlock, Guilty Sherlock, Sherlock/John Fight, Magic, Strange John, First Kiss, Whipping, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Threats of Rape / Non-Con, Mental Anguish, Emotional Hurt/Comfort, Heavy Angst with Happy Ending) – Nothing lasts forever. I am beginning to think it's the same for you and me. In a world where we don't co-exist how long will it take to finally break us ? Or are we already broken in need of a fix ?A multi-chapter fic where Sherlock and John had to leave their lives to save the world from universal threats and pursue as Doctor Strange and Everett Ross.Will they ever reunite? Part 1 of the Everstrange series

YEEE I ROCK lol.

OH! Found another when search "multiverse" on my MFL list, part of a series, so check out the series too:

The Man in the Crimson Cloak by Aelaer (T, 25,968 w., 6 Ch. || Dr. Strange Crossover || Post-S1 / Post Avengers Endgame, No Johnlock, Action / Adventure, POV Sherlock, Dimension Travel, BAMF Strange, BAMF Sherlock, Bratty Sherlock) – Sherlock’s terribly ordinary and outright dull day turns into something well beyond his wildest dreams when a most interesting stranger enters his flat. Part 3 of the Adventures Throughout the Multiverse series

----

I think there was another I came across a long time ago where they met Ben and Martin? Hmm.

Anyone have any others to suggest for us??

A Fannish Year Review - 2023

1. Your main fandom of the year: I've kind of been all over the map, but I am always a fan of Dr. Strange and Star Trek. I do still love the X files!

2. Have u watched a film this year?? I have! I watched The Fifth Element for the first time and I really really enjoyed the costumes!

3. Your favorite book this year: Oooh that's hard, but I think it have to be The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. I liked the story structure and the descriptions a lot. But coming in hot behind that is Diane Duane's Spock's World and A. C. Crispin's Sarek. I was in a bit of a reading slump at those Star Trek books really really helped me get back on the train.

4. Your favorite album or song this year: Hospital Chase by Leonard Rosenman (it's the soundtrack bit in Star Trek IV where Kirk and co break Chekov out of the hospital) never fails to make me smile.

5. Your favorite tv shows this year: I'd have to say Slow Horses, Star Trek (TOS & TNG), the X files, and Avatar: the last airbender.

6. Your favorite tumblr community this year: From what I've seen, the Star Trek community here is so kind and fun. I've really enjoyed the art and the cool headcanons here.

7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year: I'm pretty new to this whole fandom thing, so everything has been new to me, but I've really enjoyed the X files love on this website. I've been watching since a yearish before COVID, but I didn't know about you guys til now!

8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year: The second season of Slow Horses (a spy show on Apple tv) was not nearly as good as the first season. Luckily, the 3rd season just came out and it is incredible!

9. Your tv/movie boyfriend and/or girlfriend of the year: I think Riker with a bread is stunning.

10. Your biggest squee moment of the year: As both a country music fan (yeah yeah I know!)and X files fan the release of the full song from Dreamland II on youtube was so exciting!

Thanks for tagging me @frogsmulder! It was good to get know you better :)

No pressure, but I'd love to here you guys' thoughts on the matter!
