Summary
All his life, Tony has heard voices in his head. Two, to be precise. One that makes him think of crimson and frost, the other of darkness and fireflies. They say they’re guardians from another lifetime, guardians that will guide him towards the two people who will love him most in this world.
But what if…what if Tony doesn’t want the Loki and Stephen from his universe?
What if he wants the Loki and Stephen who speak in his head?

Summary
This is a Midgardian form of courtship? To tease omegas?
Tony felt himself smile, the naivety of Loki’s question rising to the forefront of his mind. Only someone who dealt in tricks and lies would perceive pranks as a form of flirting.
Wait.
Midgardians perceive trickery to be a form of courtship?
Was that what was going on here?
Loki was courting Stephen?
Tony has been secretly pining after Loki and Stephen for months, and while he initially finds Loki’s pranks on Stephen amusing, those feelings soon turn sour when he realises that Loki’s feats of magic are a type of courtship.
He hasn’t realised that Loki’s been pranking him too.

Summary
‘How am I supposed to say I’m scared you’ll leave me behind like everyone else has?’
‘Just like that,’ Stephen whispered.
Preoccupied with their respective duties, Loki and Stephen have been off-world for months, leaving Tony behind and alone with his anxious thoughts and fear of abandonment. After they both come home and after reassurances and apologies are made, Tony has a clever idea of how they can make it up to him.
Written for TalesOfMagicandChaos's prompt: Tony edging Stephen and driving him crazy while not allowing him to come, while on the other hand, overstimulating Loki and making him come over and over, not allowing Stephen to come until Loki’s stamina is spent.
First chapter is story-based: rated T

Amor Vicit Omnia by veriante
Fandom Doctor Strange (2016), Iron Man (Movies), Marvel, Marvel Cinematic Universe, The Avengers (Marvel Movies), The Avengers (Marvel) - All Media Types, Thor (Movies)
11 Mar 2020
Summary
What if Doctor Stephen Strange was born 25 years earlier and became the Sorcerer Supreme and was Chosen by the Time Stone?
What if Dr Strange knew all the constants and variables that must take place in the Universe?
What if he falls in love with Tony Stark before they even meet?
And what happens if the Universe lets Tony Stark meet with Stephen Strange even before he goes to Afghanistan?
Those are the questions that this story seeks to answer. Be warned, and it is a long, long journey. But at the end of it all, will Dr Strange find that in fact, Love Does Conquer All?
Or is Amor Vincit Omnia just a pretty sentiment?

it's not going to matter if we fall down twice by AuroraWest
Fandom Doctor Strange (2016), Doctor Strange (Movies), Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thor (Movies)
28 May 2024
Summary
You’ll always be the God of Mischief—but you could be more. As though it’s that easy. As though Loki can snap his fingers and turn himself into a new person.
Scratch that. Let’s start over.
You’ll always be the God of Mischief—but you could be more. And Loki is pretty sure that’s what he wants. Not to be a new person. That’s never worked. The problem is, Loki has never been sure what he wants. Or perhaps he has, and it’s only that he’s been very good at lying to himself about it.
Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson, God of Mischief, searches for his place in the universe, the Nine Realms, and his family. Put another way: Loki learns how to be more.

Summary
Tony Stark had dealt with many unpleasant repercussions from one night stands in the past. He should have guessed that his night with the magical alien before he was taken off to Asgardian prison would result in the worst... or possibly the best.
On the one hand, he’s huge, throwing up all the time and is fairly certain he will be the worst father ever, on the other hand, it brought him Stephen Strange, a love Tony never expected, especially with that piece of his heart carved out for a certain trickster. Which is all well and good, until Loki breaks out from prison five years later.
