I love your fics, they make my day! "Did you hear? Stephen Strange - of all people - has gotten an apprentice! That poor guy! As if a hole in his chest wasn't enough!" or: Tony has to learn magic from Stephen (who has a reputation of being difficult to learn from).

“It’s an injustice, is what it is!”

Wong looked up, glaring at the master—Master Nestor—loudly talking in the corner. In the library. Where was the respect?

“The Ancient One has her reasons,” Master Lent. “She always does.”

“She sent the poor guy to Strange,” Nestor said. “Don’t get me wrong, the man is talented, no one can deny that. But he’s… he’s an asshole. And he doesn’t know how to teach. He just expects people to know exactly what he means as though it’s that easy.”

Wong narrowed his eyes. They were talking about Stephen and the novice that the Ancient One had personally assigned to him. Wong was one of the few people that had been told that it was Tony Stark, here on a last-ditch effort to learn how to purge heavy metal from his body, and currently calling himself ‘Anthony’. He wasn’t sure how everyone else didn’t recognize him—it was Tony Stark—but suspected the Ancient One was behind it. Wong never quite understood the Ancient One’s plans. He trusted her regardless.

As it was, he’d heard plenty about the situation. Stephen had ranted for days about how he wasn’t a teacher and why couldn’t Wong or another Master take Stark on.

“To be fair,” Lent said. “For Master Strange it always has appeared to be that easy, once he turned the corner. Sometimes it’s hard to explain each step of the process when you just… see the end result, everything flowing together.”

“Of course you’d defend him,” Nestor said. “He’s utterly unaware of your attraction to him, you know.”

“Shut up Nestor,” Lent said, unbothered. “I respect him, that’s all.”

Nestor snorted. “I’m just saying, the poor guy has enough to deal with, what with the giant, gaping hole in his chest. The Ancient One could have at least have given him someone reasonable to learn from.”

Wong might have agreed, if it weren’t for the fact that Stephen’s irritation hadn’t lasted a week. No one else ever quite followed Stephen’s train of thought—not even Wong, who probably understood Stephen best—but Stephen had been brimming with energy because Stark understood how Stephen thought.

Still stubborn beyond all belief, according to Stephen, but Stephen just considered that a challenge to get Stark to ‘see the light’.

No. Whatever the Ancient One had seen in Stark, Stephen really had been the perfect match.

Hi! This is for Ironstrange, a little off the wall and might not be doable within 300 words but I thought I’d share anyway. Anyway I was thinking magical creature Stephen (I was thinking some bird type person/creature but whatever floats your boat) has been gifted to human aristocrat Tony. Stephen expects cruel treatment at Tony’s hands, but the human is much different than the rumors paint him as (ie kind, handsome, and not at all the type to want to own a sentient person).

This is a long concept, but I decided I could squeeze most of it in. (Almost.) 😁

- 

When Stephen overhears his “keepers” say that he’s been sold to Tony Stark, he wonders if he should have fought harder during his recent escape attempt and made them kill him.

Stark is notorious for “losing” his pets. Everyone laughs at how careless he is, and they trade knowing glances when they do. No one knows what he does with them, but given that none have ever been found, it’s obvious they must be dead. At least if Stephen had died during an escape attempt, he’d have gone on his own terms and without suffering whatever hell Stark has in store for him.

Transport is miserable, his wings tightly bound, his legs chained from hips to ankles. At least they leave his hands alone, ruined as they are.

He’s on Stark’s estate for a week before he meets the man. When the meeting happens, he’s led to an isolated, soundproofed room. His heart thunders. The room is furnished like an ordinary sitting room, but the comfortable and mundane interior only makes it more terrifying. What does Stark do in here?

When Stark arrives, he’s relaxed and smiling. Stephen keeps his jaw set and his gaze hard. He’s terrified, but he’s not going to give Stark the satisfaction.

Stark takes a seat and gestures for Stephen to take the stool. It’s clearly designed for avian comfort. He doesn’t sit. Stark doesn’t go back to standing, just looks up at Stephen with the kind of warmth that has no place in this moment.

The first thing Stark says to him is: “I’m here to figure out the best way to free you.”

For a moment, Stephen can only stare, not fully processing the words. “Excuse me?” he finally manages.

“Normally I take a lot longer to get to this point,” Stark says easily. “Not all slaves are ready for that, you know? Sometimes it’s months before it’s safe to even float the idea. But given that you attempted to escape two weeks ago, I figure I can jump right in.”

Stark is the first human Stephen has ever heard refer to a pet as a slave.

He almost falls onto the stool, he sits down so hard. “All your pets that have gone missing?”

“All free,” Stark says, smiling. “Haven’t lost one yet, though there have been some hairy moments.”

Stephen laughs, and when he meets Stark’s gaze and realizes the warmth there is real, an answering glow fills his chest.

They’re not canon! There’s nothing remotely romantic about their relationship!

That’s cool. You go live in your sadness world. I, however, couldn’t care less about what you think, and will be in my world of schmoopy, campy, fluffy, gay fandom funtimes.

Guys, I just found out that if I read a fic on ao3 and log out, I can give kudos as a guest, and when I log back in, I can give kudos with my account, and both is counted, which basically means I'm finally able to give fics kudos more than once!!!

OH LAWD ITS IRONSTRANGE!!!!

*Drops this and run* 🏃

[asherashedwings]

Damn, can’t believe they got the same treatment from the devs

(Also, brown eyed Tony because if Marvel Rivals can ignore canon and give MCU Tony blue eyes, I’m gonna ignore canon and give MR Tony brown eyes)

Rhodey to Stephen - "Ofcourse you are his type, he's generally attracted to arogant assholes"

Stephen did his best to ignore the titters of the socialites a few feet away aimed in his direction. 

Despite Thanos, Kamar-Taj had managed to stay out of the public eye. Which meant so had Stephen’s own role. When people looked at Stephen all they saw was a former neurosurgeon with nothing to his name and the gossip was malicious.

He caught sight of Tony at the other end of the room, talking with an investor. Tony glanced over, catching his eye. He tilted his head in a gesture for Stephen to join him, but Stephen couldn’t bring himself to move.

Someone settled next to him and he looked over. Rhodey. 

“Enjoying your first gala?” Rhodey asked.

“I used to go to quite a few, actually,” he admitted. “I enjoyed them, then.” Back then he wouldn’t have had people wondering why in the world Tony was with him. It would have made sense. “It’s not quite as appealing now.”

Rhodey eyed him. “Yeah, probably not. So, what is it: ashamed of him or of yourself?”

Stephen blinked in confusion. “What?”

Rhodey gestured to him. “You’re here when you could be with him. So, it’s one of the two.”

Stephen flushed. “That’s not—”

“So which is it?” Rhodey pushed.

“I’m—” Stephen fumbled over the words. “They look at me and wonder why he’s with me. I’m not rich. I’m hardly capable anymore, at least not in their eyes. I’ve got nothing but my rather dubious charms to recommend me. I’m not exactly his type, not anymore.”

Rhodey looked at him like he was an idiot. “Of course you’re his type,” he said. “He’s generally attracted to arrogant assholes.”

“I did mention the dubious charms,” Stephen muttered. 

Rhodey rolled his eyes. “Look, I could tell you you’re freakily intelligent and a terrifyingly capable sorcerer, both of which Tony likes about you. But frankly, those don’t really matter.”

“And what does?”

“You make him happy,” Rhodey said simply. “You make him feel like he’s worth something in a way no one else ever has. Like he’s worthy. So—” Rhodey stepped back. “Don’t ruin that because other people are idiots.”

Stephen stared at Rhodey, caught off guard. But then… “You’re right,” he realized. What was he even doing over here?

Tony’s smile, when Stephen joined him, erased the insecurity. It didn’t matter if anyone understood it. Stephen belonged here, right at Tony’s side.
