You’re my best friend

Hobie Brown • They/Them Pronouns • Just a couple of besties in the spider society giving mentors a hard time while also making the best of the time they get together. Even when shit hits the fan • SFW/Smol ANGST • TW: Some tragic backstories mentioned / Minor Injuries / Miguel being Miguel

For @cabinofcontentment

“The big angry panther really wants me on this anomaly?” Hobie scoffs walking beside Jessica on their way to the briefing room.

“Yes and I thought you would be a little more excited for this one”

“Now why is that?” The punk tilts his head a bit curious, but was met with annoyance from one of his mentors.

“Hobie. You don’t read the anomaly reports before these meetings do you?” Jessica asks watching that devilish smile of his emerge. “Alright. Well you’ll enjoy your partner on this one, they have not shut up about their excitement”

“Now I’m curious on who it—-“

“Hobie!” The familiar voice was music to his ears watching the figure run out of the darkness in Miguel’s office into the light revealing Y/F/N Y/L/N.

The spider person of Earth-838. A universe that is prepared for most problems that may or may not arise. So why have a Spiderman in this universe? Well shit still happens at a level that doesn’t concern the Illuminati. Leaving it to Y/N to take care of where they reside in the West Coast.

Hobie has always admired them since they’ve joined spider society around the same time he did. They were a chaotic little spitfire with their dark silver suit with sea-foam accents on their arms and legs. Then the outlier of the deep red spider sprawled on their back. They were one of the few organic spider people, he grew to know and that arachnid gracing their shoulders is a part of the organic webbing and improved vision. If you think about Spiderman from Earth-199999 and his suit’s self defense system “Kill mode”, that’s what they have. Except it’s infused to their spine and comes out whenever they need it. Never for killing though. That’s a bit extreme don’t you think?

But Y/N wasn’t in their suit for that meeting. They had been called for a briefing in the middle of one of their self care days.

“Are you exciting for this anomaly? We are helping Spider-cat in his universe!”

“Oh I didn’t—-“

“Yeah I figured. I’ll catch yea up enough so Miguel doesn’t have a tantrum” Y/N smiles about to inform Hobie but they couldn’t help but notice the laugh they got out of Jessica. “Oh Ben owes me ten bucks” they smile even more when Jessica playful glared at them to the whispered comment while Hobie chuckles to himself.

Hobie was informed enough by Y/N’s standards when they reached Miguel’s floating pad. He instantly knew the man would be in a mood and a clear give away was the eight legs sprouting out of Y/N’s back launching them off the ground high enough to avoid the computer panel Miguel had thrown their direction.

“Aye. We don’t need an in work injury now do we?” Hobie scoffs as Y/N hops back down from the ceiling feeling Jessica’s hand rest on their shoulder once their tense expression subsided.

“You are late. Y/N could’ve taken care of it by now”

“Right. Well. Are you going to speak or continue to have a fit?”

“Just. Y/N get suited and you two head the fuck out already. If you need backup, Jess is on call” Miguel sighs turning away from them to return to his personal anomaly search.

The three headed out of the room not even after five minutes of being in there. Guess Miguel wanted his frustration taken out on someone almost in a literal physical sense. Hobie watches Y/N stretch their back slightly once the legs retracted, noticing how they pierced through what seemed to be a new jacket.

“You heard Miguel. You need backup, I’m there” Jess reminds the two before going to check up on her new mentees.

“He seemed a bit miffed this mornin’” Hobie comments on his behavior while following Y/N to one of the locker rooms so that they can get suited up given he was already.

“I heard a rumor that he found more information about the 42 anomaly. Before you and Jess came, he was talking about it with me…then got pissed and tossed his cup of coffee at me that time”

“…Alright?” The concern in his voice shot right through them as they instantly grabbed his shoulder.

“Yeah, I’m okay” Y/N smiles before pushing him back playfully, entering the locker room to get suited up.

Entering Spider-cat’s universe was exciting for Y/N given they were curious if it was all cats or only animals. Like the movie zootopia, something they watched from someone else’s universe, except not humanoid. It was the first one. All cats.

“You can’t take one home” Hobie spoiled their seeded plan knowing Y/N was pouting behind their mask. “Let’s find Peter before—-“

Suddenly a cat tree that was made into a building barreled its way toward Hobie and Y/N, Hobie quickly taking his guitar and strumming loud enough to rapture the building while Y/N had quickly moved the cats out of the way of the fallen debris.

“WHY AM I IN A PLACE FULL OF FUCKING FELINES?!” A Doc Ock anomaly was their target as his tentacles grabbed building after building and tossing them all over the place while Spider-cat quickly webbed them up to avoid any of them hitting other cats.

“Isn’t the story of Spider-cat a bit gruesome?”

“Different spider-cat. There’s 3 from what I understand. But one isn’t actually a spider person.” Y/N informs as they started to make their way to help Spider-cat take care of the Doc Ock with Hobie following shortly behind.

As Doc Ock continued to toss the buildings toward now 3 spider people, Y/N did their best to latch their web onto them and quickly swing them back toward the villain as Hobie started to grab cat after cat directing them carefully away from the commotion even if it meant tossing a few into a big web he made.

“This guy torturing cats!” Y/N groans as their legs formed from their back to help them move quickly against the building.

Spider-cat let out an angered hiss toward Hobie indicating he’s the one torturing the cats because again, he was tossing them into a web to avoid them getting hurt by the anomaly.

“Sorry, fella. I’ll take care of it when we’re done”

“More so I will. Since I know how to get rid of the webbing faster than most spider people” Y/N quickly comments as they launch themselves toward Doc Ock with an extreme force courtesy of their spider legs from their back.

But as they were retracting themselves back into place, Doc’s tentacle suddenly grabbed some of their legs forcing it out of Y/N before throwing them into a nearby building.

“Y/N!” Hobie yells as he quickly picked up the pace in his step taking his guitar and knocking the doc off his feet noticing the webbing latched onto his ankles.

Soon the doc was dragged through his own mess and lifted off the ground, both Hobie and Spider-cat watching Y/N had gotten themselves out of the rubble tugging on the anomaly throwing the doc over them and harshly into the ground. Enough to knock the villain out. When the two came over and Spidercat took care of tying the villain up, Hobie noticed Y/N shaking a bit.

“Hey—Y/N, are you alright, mate?” Hobie tried to get them to respond but given when he tried to lay a comforting hand, they retracted. “Alright. Alright…Come on my feline friend. Let’s clean up this rubbish”

While the two took care of such, Y/N took the trap Miguel invented to secure Doc Ock and have him transported back to the spider society watching him disappear before going through the rubble making sure no one left anything. But also picking up two of their legs that the villain managed to actually rip out of their back.

“Lyla?”

“Yes Y/N?” The small hologram appeared by their head and instantly took note of the situation. “You should be seen at spider society immediately. Has this happened before?” She asks watching them shake their head as she didn’t wait to call in Jess to help Hobie and spider-cat clean up.

Hobie never liked this part of the job, cleaning up in a sense was simply taking care of whatever the anomaly may have left. Having to leave the destruction of the universe to the locals. But after doing his part and taking in a few locals’ attention by giving them pets, Hobie watched a portal open revealing Jess.

“Oy!” Hobie calls out to gain her attention as she let Lyla do a quick scan of the area. “Why are you here?”

“Lyla sent Y/N back. Did you not see what happen?” Jess questions Hobie who was just as confused as she was, hoping that he’d give her some answers.

Next thing the two knew, Spider-cat trotted his way over and meowed into his watch which lead to the scene being played out for them. Hobie’s normally neutral expression went to anxiety watching Doc Ock grab Y/N by their spider legs and tearing two off when tossing them.

“Fucking hell…”

“Shit. Lyla do a scan of the scene for…yeah. Then we’ll call it—-“ Jess turns to watch Hobie leave through a portal making her sigh. “I can’t be mad at him”

“Everything is cleaned up. All Spider-cat’s deal now”

“Alright. I gotta go check on my kid” Jess refers to anyone she mentors as her kids, Y/N being one of them.

Entering spider society, Hobie looked around for his partner not finding them in any of the places he’d think they would be. Even went to the infirmary and couldn’t find them there. Next thing he knew, a hand through a portal grabbed the back of his guitar strap pulling him through and into the universe with Earth-838.

“Why did you go to the society first?” Jessica caught him off guard as most injuries would get reported.

“Thought they’d be there”

“Their injuries were too much for our docs to handle so they went to the Illuminati of their universe to get checked out.”

“How do you—-“

“Do you not use any of the utilities at the society?”

The punk instantly gave her a deadpan look to her question as Jessica couldn’t believe she even asked that.

Y/N’s universe knew about the multiverse and took care of anomalies in their own way. But given their connection with spider society with the help of their own spider, the worry was very small for incursions.

The two walked through the Illuminati building and was met with Dr. Palmer and her infectious smile.

“They’re alright. The arachnid in their spine is similar to a few species that are able to regenerate their legs. So they’ll be back in a few weeks” Palmer shows an x-ray of their back to Jess while Hobie decided to slip past them. “But it will be painful and best if they don’t be on call for a while”

“I agree. We have enough capable individuals to cover for their time. What did you do with—“

“Y/N buried them. We aren’t going to question it, even if Richards wants to desperately.” Palmer laughs leading Jess to the main laboratory watching Richards getting his hands smacked away from Hobie as he was sat beside Y/N who was trying to hide in the rafters. “Reed. Cmon. Give them a break”

“I wanted to check the hematoma before they returned home. But this one is being rather annoying” Reed sighs only to be smacked in the head by a boot. “Excuse me!”

“Hobie!” Jess exclaims as both Hobie and Y/N pretend like nothing had happened. “Are you serious?!”

“What? He was botherin’ my favorite person. Just doing everybody a favor”

“By throwing your shoe at Mr. Richards?!”

“Who says it was my shoe?” Hobie flipped himself to hang upside down from the beam they were sitting on as Y/N did the same thing mimicking him before slipping slightly. They were on pain killers from the pain and it wasn’t a good idea to do their spider shenanigans. But when they fell, Hobie quickly webbed them and carefully setting them on the floor.

“Okay hun, how about let’s not get any more injuries and get you home” Jess laughs helping them up and removing the webs off them.

The two took care of getting Y/N home and Jess left Hobie alone with them for just a moment knowing he can’t stay in their universe for too long. Because of Miguel’s rules. But she wasn’t going to rat him out, she has a soft side for the both of them.

“Alright?” Hobie gently nudged their shoulder as they were sitting on the balcony of Y/N’s apartment overlooking the beach.

“Mhm. You…uhm. Gonna spend the night? I know it’s not your thing”

Hobie scoffs in a playful manner wrapping his arm carefully around their shoulders.

“You’re my best friend, dear” He smiles watching their eyes light up to what he’s to say next. “How could I say no to yea?”

The One Thing I Need

Stephen Strange • They/Them Pronouns • Sorcerer!Reader • SFW/ANGST • TW: Nightmares

Requested by: @accioptterv

“Come on Stephen!”

“I’m coming I’m coming…slow down..!” The young Stephen cries out following his sister onto the frozen lake.

“Woah!” Donna yelps slipping on the ice and falling onto her knees making Stephen start to shake like a baby deer. “I’m okay!”

“G-Get up slowly okay?”

“Okay worrywart” The laughter from his sister echoed throughout the lake as she rises to her feet.

Stephen suddenly felt a pit in his stomach as he watches cracks form underneath him. “O-Oh no. DONNA!” He cries out watching her whip her head toward him giving him that smile of hers.

Yet the cracks from his feet shot like lightening across the lake heading directly toward Donna. Making Stephen start to skate as fast as he could over to her.

But the smile on her face faded in slow motion along with her body falling through the cracks.

“D-Donna…” Strange whines in his sleep rolling over a bit causing his partner to stir awake.

“Stephen?” They groan a bit with tiredness slowly rising resting on their elbows to look at his stirring figure.

Stephen cries reaching the hole in the lake and reaching in trying not to over panic.

“Donna!”

Nothing of course. Stephen dives his top half into the hole and wasn’t met with water. Simply darkness.

“Donna?”

“why Stephen…”

“Donna!” He yells trying to figure out where the voice is. “Donna come here! Let me get you out of here!”

Soft hands expose themselves out of the darkness reaching for Stephen’s face and when he reached. The hands harshly grab him and a face of a drowned girl shines through.

“WHY DID YOU LET ME DIE”

“I didn’t mean to…D-Donna I didn’t mean to” Strange continues his sleep talk as Y/N fully brought themselves to his side pulling him to lay on his back.

“Stephen, wake up” They were quiet at first but he was starting to sob in his sleep instead of little tears rolling down his cheeks. “Stephen, love…”

“YOURE SUPPOSED TO SAVE LIVES! NOT TAKE THEM!” Donna in the state the paramedics and police found her in screamed in Stephen’s face pulling him into the darkness as they started to descend. “You did this to me…”

“Donna I didn’t…I-I didn’t…” He cries as he couldn’t calculate the lake would’ve been weak in that time of the year. He didn’t think the ice would crack under the pressure.

Then suddenly he appeared at the edge of the lake watching Donna skate through with that smile of hers.

“Come on Stephen!”

“N-No…”

“Woah!” And she slipped.

Stephen watched everything repeat itself.

Over and over again.

He started to shake in his sleep and it wasn’t by Y/N trying to shake him awake. This nightmare was getting to him and they couldn’t wake him. It was starting to scare them as they quickly got out of their bed whistling for Cloak.

The second they arrived, Y/N gestures for them to help wake up Strange. Cloak gave a few flaps.

“What do you mean last time you tried it didn’t work?”

More flapping.

“CLOAK JUST DO IT AND I PROMISE HE DOESN’T TURN YOU INTO A POCKET SQUARE AGAIN” Y/N yells.

“Donna…I-I’m sorry” Stephen cries holding his dead sister in his arms. “Im so sorry…” he whines.

Then. Finally!

Strange gasps awake to Cloak smacking him for the fourth time. Cloak and Y/N towering over him as he tried to collect himself on what just happened. The tears were taken care of by Y/N gently wiping them away as he suddenly took a hold of their wrist.

“I’m sorry…I…shouldn’t have woken you”

“No, Stephen. No…it’s okay, you don’t have to apologize” Y/N reassures feeling cloak wrap around their shoulders when they brought themselves back into the bed up against the headrest as Strange pushes himself to sit up and look at them for permission to lean back into them. Which Y/N could never turn down.

They rest their cheek against the top of his head once he got comfortable against their chest. He liked that they didn’t pry for him to tell what was happening in his mind…he was enjoying their warmth and the gentle scratches against his scalp they were doing.

“Y/N…”

“Hm?”

“Please don’t ever leave me…” He started to sob once more feeling them tighten their embrace around him as Cloak joined in with the comfort. “I can’t lose you, okay?”

“I’m not going anywhere, love. I’m never leaving” Y/N reassures gently grazing their fingers up and down his arm.

“You’ve always been the one thing I needed…and I’m not about to lose you any time soon..” Strange went on as he full brought himself to lay on Y/N, feeling their arms and legs wrap around him protectively.

I’m right here Stephen

“Are you happy Stephen?” I’ve never been happier

Supreme Strange • She/Her Pronouns • Research Scientist!Reader • SFW/ANGST/NSFW • TW: Pregnancy / Birth

Requested by: @accioptterv

“You’re hovering, love”

“You insisted on coming into work today”

“And?”

“You’re 36 weeks pregnant at work when you’re supposed to be on maternity leave” Strange frowns watching Y/N turn around in her chair giving him a confused look.

“I’m pregnant? I-I can’t really tell…” She acts. “It’s not like my ankles are swollen and I’m the size of a goddamn planet” then she grew enraged. “I know how pregnant I am, Stephen. You’re worried over nothing…”

“You had to be on bed rest that—-“

“For an amniocentesis…which is common to be on bed rest for two days after the procedure” Y/N assures as she starts to collect what she needs for the report. “For a former surgeon, don’t you suggest bedrest after procedures?”

“It’s protocol. But with brain surgery we do our best to get the patient up and at them to re-work their mind back to their new normal. You had a needle put into your belly and into the amniotic sac which could’ve miscarried the baby if you didn’t take it easy”

“Are you trying to calm me down or make me cry again like last time?”

“Okay I didn’t mean—-“

“You told me I could pop at any second and that freaked me the fuck out Stephen!”

“I just want to take you home! Why are we here?!”

“I would assume for the incursion update” Christine enters the lab with Mordo by her side seeing the two Stranges stop arguing. “The panel is ready but since you are also here, you can join your team while Y/N stands with us”

“You…risked yourself for an incursion update?”

“Shut up Stephen” Y/N rolls her eyes picking up her tablet and walking out with Christine leaving the two sorcerers.

“If my daughter is anything like my wife, I might lose it”

“I would be more afraid if she came out like you” Mordo, not very good at his jokes, laughs only for Strange to get up angrily glaring at the guy walking past him. “What?! I thought we were just joking around! I hope your child has both of your qualities!” He reassures trailing behind him.

As the panel formed and the lead being Christine started the presentation that ultimately told Strange that there wasn’t any new incursion caused by any other alternate in the multiverse. He kept his attention on Y/N while she was simply paying attention to the presentation holding her belly protectively like always.

“You’re going to get a stress headache again if you keep staring” Maria whispers to Strange receiving his usual annoyed look. “What? I’m looking out for you”

“I wish she stayed home” Strange whispers back as Maria turned to Y/N seeing that she was fine in that moment.

“Then when this ends, I’ll tell her it’s an order”

“Seriously.”

“Seriously. Or have Xavier do it. Everybody listens to him”

“Maybe have Black Bolt do it to get through that thick skull of hers” Strange can’t believe he just said that resulting in Maria laughing at the suggestion with Mordo standing behind Strange’s chair also laughing since the sorcerer wasn’t exactly quiet about it.

“You’re lucky I love you Strange or I’d kick your ass”

“She’d still do it out of love” Carter smiles getting a laugh from her colleagues.

The presentation came to an end and frankly, so did Strange’s patience but that was completely ignored when Y/N’s face changed to discomfort and she left the meeting first. He was quick to leave shortly after her only finding his little lady sitting on the steps for a moment.

“Are you okay?! What’s hurting—“

“My fucking feet Stephen. I’m fine…”

“Stranges?!” Reed calls out quickly to find the two at the steps causing the heat of embarrassment to rise to his cheeks for yelling. “Sorry. Wanted to make sure you were okay. Especially given yknow”

“I’m fine. We’re fine. But since you came out, can I get——“

“Oh! Yes” Reeds went to help Y/N up as Strange couldn’t help the annoyed whine to come out of him. Scaring the smartest man alive as he let go of Y/N once she rose to her feet.

The smirk on her face indicated she did that for just that as Strange couldn’t help but focus on the small detail of her face relaxing instantly triggered him again to say—-

“Are you okay? Y/N? Are you—-“

“Wait. Doctor Strange? Did I do something? Did I—“

Panicking two husbands, one who’s about to have a kid while the other has kids and would panic at everything that happened to any of them. They both boggy backed off the other…

“You triggered something Reed!”

“I don’t think it’s scientifically possible for me to trigger labor because you are the only one intimate with your wife”

“WHAT”

“You know this! You were a former doctor and should know that sexual intercourse can trigger a woman into labor. But they must reach or—-“

“Stop Richards before I lose my mind”

“Yes…but we did lose your wife” Reed points out that Y/N left the two to argue as Strange didn’t hesitate to make a portal to her location being her station in the research lab. Met with her annoyed face when she saw Strange’s same panicked expression. “She seems to be fi—-“

“IM NOT LITERALLY GOING TO POP OUT OF THE GODDAMN BLUE”

“YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT. APPARENTLY I CAN POP YOU WITH MY PEN—-“

“STOP TALKING” Y/N yells soon dying down turning into her laughing. “Of course Reed would panic and it’d ricochet off of you. Then repeat! But again, Stephen I’m fi—-“ she stops talking to rest her hands on her belly bringing back that distressed look making Strange step through with Reed as both of them were checking pulse points that after a few minutes she smacked their hands away. “False alarm”

“Okay no. We’re going to the hospital”

“Strange. It was just a really hard kick. I’m fine, we’re fine” She reassures squeezing his arm before leaving the room with the two trailing behind.

“It wouldn’t hurt to go to the hospital to make sure it’s no sign of early labor”

“Isn’t still pre-term at 36—“

“No! The norm changed so 36 is now the earliest one can go into labor but it’s ideal to reach full term regardless”

“Which I plan on doing, working or not!”

“Thought you were supposed to be on maternity leave, I knew it was you in the presentation” Xavier butts into the conversation after coming back from a chat with an old friend seeing the two stalking Y/N. “Tell an old man why you’re here instead of me having to go through your mind”

“Strange is driving me crazy”

“Oh no that happened with me. My wife kicked me out for two weeks because I was telling her all the statistics about the possibility our child can be born with a heart condition or a disability and the likelihood of not having either—“ Reed stops when Strange gripped his arm and Xavier was even glaring. “Sorry. It’s normal for the pregnant partner to grow annoyed by every single thing their significant other does.”

“You sure it wasn’t his existence?” Carter smiles joining the small group with Maria right beside her.

“You’re not the comedic relief here—-“ Strange randomly says. “Y/N you’re getting everyone involved—“

“No you are! I’m simply walking to go to Christine’s office and give her my latest data” She goes on with Strange following immediately as the four other Illuminati members looked at the other before following the Stranges.

“My wife almost broke my hand during labor. Beautiful experience but that truly says something since I’m supposed to be elastic”

“I heard women could tear”

“Oh definitely, that’s why if you think that’s gonna happen. Might as well plan for a C”

“Women back in the day used to die to childbirth at alarming rates”

“Now you’re getting scary Carter”

“You four are not helping me!” Strange snaps at the four—-“Black Bolt?! When did he—-REGARDLESS. You’re not helping me one bit!” He groans turning around to be met with a closed door to Palmer’s office and before he even thought about making a portal in, he realized Y/N stole his sling ring while he argued.

“Strange is like a hawk with you. We would’ve survived without you for that presentation Y/N, even if I do love having my partner on the incursion study with me” Christine laughs inserting the drive Y/N handed her.

“I’m…a little scared” Y/N started to open up watching Christine relax to give her attention. “Strange has been hovering and I understand. I’m huge. Carrying his baby. But that’s the thing I’m carrying his baby. I don’t wanna hear about scary things that could happen just from being in our house. I don’t want to fuck up this baby when she’s born and reading every scary thing known to man that could happen, then hearing him and his colleagues go on about it—-I’m…I….I’m drowning and I’m terrified because what if I’m awful?”

“Of being an awful mother?” Christine frowns watching her friend nod. “Oh love! Y/N…You have a village if anything did happen, but even if it did, you would be the right person for the job…you’re going to absolutely do amazing at being this wonderful, intelligent, overwhelming kind mother to this baby who’s only going to have both yours and Stephen’s good qualities….” She looped around her desk about to hug her friend when Y/N raised a hand to stop her. “What’s wrong?”

“N-No. I needed to hear that” Y/N started to cry smiling as she suddenly laughs. “But I think all the stress of the now swarm outside of your office really made my little one want to come out…cuz I am very wet and very…very sorry for your rug in this office” she took a deep breath as Christine just noticed her water breaking instantly resulting in her swinging her door open to stop their conversation as Strange was immediately directed to the situation.

“I told you so”

“Great! Now please take me to the hospital” Y/N whines feeling another contraction happening as she gripped onto the chair in front of Christine’s desk.

“I can call an ambulance”

“Black Bolt can quickly get one or I can transmit—-“

“Maybe just give the poor father to be his sling ring back” Y/N interrupts the two gentlemen as she reaches into her lab coat handing said sling ring. “Our hospital bag Stephen….”

“I’ll go retrieve it! Assuming it’s at your home?” Christine waits for a nod which both gave as Maria immediately held her hand out.

“More than happy to get you there quicker” She smiles helping the scientist get her friend’s things by flying her to their home.

While Strange panics anxiously to open a portal, resulting in Reed calling in Mordo to help since it was the quickest way of travel. Y/N quickly held onto her husband being lead into the hospital once Mordo got their portal.

Soon the Stranges were left alone and they had everything they needed thanks to Maria and Christine. But the Illuminati stayed in the waiting room given they were a part of the now more eventful day…

“I-I told you so”

“Yes…yes you did” Y/N suddenly gripped onto the railing of the hospital bed not liking these contractions one bit but she refused to yell out the frustration causing her complexion to redden and the tears to spill. “Shit…” she whines, relaxing when she felt Strange take her hand. “L-Love I…I don’t want to hurt you”

“I don’t care” Strange states gently pushing the hair out of her face with his other hand. “We’re having a baby…you’re…as much as I am angry for you not taking it easy…you did such a wonderful job carrying her…the least I could do is endure a fraction of the pain by holding your hand.”

“…S-Stephen…”

“My love?”

“I-I’m scared”

“M-Me too” He laughs tearfully pressing a quick kiss to her lips as Y/N squeezes his hand a bit. “But as long as we got each other, everything is gonna be alright”

When it was time, Y/N couldn’t contain her tears looking up at Strange. It was happening all too fast and she was ready, but who ever is…Still very hesitant to squeeze his hand knowing damn well of the phantom pain he receives and sometimes the stings of nerve degeneration, but the way Stephen squeezed her hand not giving an ounce of his own pain reassuring her while she went through hours of this pain.

Everything…changed.

All the worry from before…just didn’t matter anymore

For it was no longer just the two of them…

________

“Wait…what?”

“…Yeah. I-I…”

“You’re pregnant…You…This isn’t a joke is it? Because I can never tell and we both know how Mordo and Wong can be with that knowledge—-“

“Stephen!” Y/N took his face into her hands smiling with tears rolling off her cheeks. “It’s real…no joke…I-I’m pregnant, we’re gonna have a baby”

Strange stared at her, for what felt like an eternity. Will he be a good father? Will this baby have his bad qualities? Will the baby hate him?

Y/N staring back to the blank expression caused her smile to face and her fears to creep in. Is the is not what he wanted? This isn’t good news? We’ve been trying…did he just stop caring? Is he going to leave her?

But all that washed away when the tears that threatened to spill, just flooded out of Strange as he drops to his knees pulling Y/N close into him sobbing.

“We’re going to have a baby” He smiles laughing in his sobs turning his face to her stomach gently kissing it causing a laugh to come out of her at the sight.

I know I haven’t been the best man my entire life, it took losing so much to understand that I don’t need any of that to have the life I want. I chose one path, and this one chose me. And I know I’ll make mistakes along the way…but I promise you my love that I’ll protect you…

________

The both of you…

“I-I don’t want to drop her”

“You won’t…I promise” Y/N smiles as she reassures helping Stephen get situated right beside her before carefully placing the little girl in his embrace.

Oh how this sweet little baby stirs slightly to get comfortable in her father’s embrace brought the sorcerer to tears all over again. Thankfully both Y/N and Cloak took care of the tears making him laugh slightly that his daughter is seeing him in full sorcerer supreme glory.

“Oh sweet little baby” Carter coos at the baby comfortably in Y/N’s embrace once more as the two eventually let the peanut gallery of the Illuminati in to see their little girl.

“She definitely has Strange’s little worry lines” Maria adds when the little one brought herself close to her mother when Reed gently brushed his fingers against her head.

“She will be overwhelmingly smart given her parents” Reed comments with agreements from the rest of the panel. “This makes me miss my kids as babies. Cherish this truly”

“Oh we will” Y/N smiles gently kissing her baby girl’s head as Stephen instantly kisses his wife’s temple when she straighten up.

After the rest of the Illuminati signed and gave their congratulations to the Stranges. Stephen found himself later in the day holding his daughter close to his chest once again enjoying her small adorable features in the moonlight falling into their private room.

A soft knock on the door pulled him from his trance just for a second as he saw Christine smile back at him waving to see if she can come in. He nods but looked at Y/N’s sleeping form to inform her to be quiet. The scientist quietly walks over to the two seeing the smile that hasn’t left Stephen’s face once since the birth of his daughter.

“Hey��”

“Hm?”

“Are you happy, Stephen?”

“I’ve never been happier”

Their Bubble

Stephen Strange • They/Them Pronouns • Sorcerer!Reader • SFW/NSFW/Lil angst • TW: Mentions of his accident

Requested by: @cabinofcontentment

“I wish I could take you anywhere” Strange states as he washes his hands after just saving another life with his favorite scrub nurse right beside him. “Anywhere outside this hospital would be nice”

“If that’s your way of asking me out, Doctor. Just straight up” His scrub nurse, Y/N couldn’t help but laugh as they continue to update the patient’s chart on the tablet.

“I didn’t think it would be that simple”

“I’m not that difficult. But since you’re not asking…” Y/N sets the tablet down for just a second turning their full attention to Strange as he dries his hands. “Would you like to go out sometime?”

“How could I ever say no to someone like you?”

________

“I should’ve said no”

“You didn’t have to stay up with us, we both know how busy Doctor Strange Master of the Mystic Arts can get” Y/N stretches in their bed sighing happily feeling his arms snake around their torso pulling them flush against his chest.

“Mmm…'m not that busy” Strange kept them close feeling their fingertips gently brush against his arms in a calming pattern.

“Right…Because Wong is sorcerer supreme, why should you have said no last night? Can’t stay up like you used to, old man?” Y/N teases, only resulting in Strange playfully biting them for that. They quickly swatted at his arms for the biting while their laugh erupts. “Stop! It was just a question”

Strange rolls his eyes letting them go so that he can move above them gaining their attention after doing so. “Because America didn’t ask for help at a reasonable hour and waited til the last minute”

“She’s a teenager, Stephen! Not everybody is as organized and punctual as yourself” Y/N laughs smiling up at him as they had enough of the towering and pushed him off to sit up. “Besides. You’d never complain when I would have things a lil late”

“May I remind you what we did before you followed my footsteps in becoming a master of the mystic arts?”

“Mmm…no you don’t have to remind me. But you loved me then and still love me now, even with the same tendencies” Y/N smiles slipping out of their shared bed to stretch out the tired even more before starting to make their way to the bathroom.

“You shouldn’t walk around naked yknow”

“It’s not like anybody without piercing blue eyes and a goatee is staring at me” Y/N stops by the door watching his attention immediately turned to the ceiling. “If you don’t sick Cloak on me to cover up like last time, you can join me in the shower”

Strange stayed there and pondered for only a second before ripping the comforter off of him quickly catching up with Y/N.

“Y/N! Strange?! Hell. Uh. WONG?!” America calls out upon entering the New York sanctum. “It was a half day…I was wondering if Y/N was free to show me the greenhouse they’ve been working on or well had since forever” she makes her way upstairs heading toward the rooms entering hers first to set her stuff down before making her way to the masters.

The second she opened the door, Cloak immediately wrapped itself around her head causing her to scream.

“Cloak cmon!!!” America panics trying to rip him off as he quickly directed her outside of the room shutting the door.

Y/N removes the gem from their wrist revealing the two in the room as Strange used them as a cover even if they both were naked.

“We’ll catch up where we left off later. Get dressed, old man” They smirk moving away from him as he reaches for the blanket covering him.

“You have to get me one of those infused gems”

“I don’t get those, I make them but next time we do stuff, handsome…We gotta do it on a full school day” They joked for the most part quickly getting dressed in their streets while Strange cheated with a quick snap getting dressed in his robes. “I hate you”

“You love me”

________

“Did you get—“

“Yes”

“And She—-“

“Sheila is also working on your Laminectomy next week. But I will not be, I need to use my vacation days” Y/N scoffs finishing up Strange’s schedule only for their smile to return when he sets down the tea they asked for. “You never do what I ask…”

“So untrue”

“Mhm…” They smile taking the warm beverage in hand after handing off the tablet. “Don’t drive my nurses mad when I’m gone, Strange”

“They love me”

“Oh okay. Keep telling yourself that” They laugh walking off with their tea.

“You know you love me” Strange smirks tying his scrub cap on.

“I hate you!”

________

“Sorry about that ‘Mer” Y/N smiles sheepishly as Cloak immediately wraps themselves around their shoulders. “And I mean for Cloak not what you almost saw”

“Nah it’s cool. Uhm. Well. I should’ve knocked for sure”

“Right, well. You live and you learn” They smile patting the collar of Cloak as they shifted into a scarf before Y/N sat beside America. “None of your friends wanted to hang out for the half day?”

“I only have one friend, but he had a date with his partner so. Def wasn’t gonna third wheel that” America laughs. “Got anything exciting to do today and need…well. Never mind! You were just with Stephen so—-“

“Well if we’re gonna hang out you know he’s gonna be jealous and wanna tag along so—“

“I do not get jealous that easily.” Strange interrupts the conversation with his presence in his streets instead of the robes from earlier.

Y/N pats America’s shoulder for her to lean into them. “He banished my cat, Oz to Kamar Taj because I would let him sleep on his side of the bed” they laugh with America causing the old man to sigh joining the empty spot on the stairs next to Y/N.

“At least Wong has company. So about this hang out” Strange comments as Y/N gave an ‘I told you so’ look to America receiving another small laugh from the teenager.

“Can we get lunch?”

“Yes! And I know the perfect spot, but I have to prepare the lunch to bring there so give me a moment to do so” Y/N smiles quickly getting off the stairs and heading toward the kitchen in the sanctum leaving the two alone.

“How did you out of all people manage to get them?”

“Seriously?”

“What! In several universes, you’ve always had Y/N. I’ve met some of them too! They all ended up with you, yeah. But I wanna know how you Master of the Mystic Arts…Former Neurosurgeon…Doctor Stephen Vincent Strange managed to steal the heart of the tremendous Y/F/N Y/L/N”

________

Y/N suddenly grabs Strange by the collar in the worse state of his life. Selling everything. Getting every surgery known to man to get his hands back. Suddenly at a point asking for yet another loan for another surgery that they simply couldn’t watch anymore.

“YOU FIND ANOTHER FUCKING WAY” They yell right in his face shocking him. “Find another way, Stephen. Because this way lost Christine and I know how much you love her even if that pains me. But I’m not giving up. I love you and I’ll get you where you need to go. But find another fucking way. These surgeries and debt will only kill you.”

“Y-Y/N I…”

“Find. Another. Way” They let go of his collar, gently taking a hold of his hands not squeezing or doing anything to cause any more pain in them. Simply their soft hands holding his scarred ones. “I love you Stephen…but these don’t and never will define you. Your career isn’t why I fell in love. Please…just. Find something else. Before I’m gone too” they frown letting go of his hands and leaving his empty apartment.

•

“When Christine said you’d quit, I didn’t expect you…to come here” Strange froze at the sight of Y/N who didn’t look the same from their hospital days.

More piercing…a new tattoo peaking from their sweater collar…rings but thankfully no wedding/engagement one…exhaustion written all over their face even with the smile still present…a few scars littering the exposed skin he sees…

“Uhm. I stayed away when Palmer told me what you did as recovering. In a very creative way, I must say…but I uh. Wow. Words never failed me before” Y/N laughs a bit as the laughter slowly dies shifting into tears. Strange didn’t hesitate for another second running toward them and wrapping his arms tightly around their frame feeling them grip onto his back.

“I missed you…” He sighs feeling Cloak wipe away the tear that fell. “and I love you too” he admits only for a sob-filled laugh to erupt from Y/N making him smile a bit.

“Took you long enough Stephen…”

________

“Woah!” America smiles running around the rooftop garden, immediately ripping her shoes off so she could feel the grass. “Why have you been hiding this from me!!”

“I don’t use a sling ring often, little lady. Also, this seems like the perfect moment”

“It is!” She laughs enjoying the greenery that has taken over part of the old apartment building as well. The tenants don’t mind it and enjoy the gardens while Y/N takes care of it for the most part.

“This is where you go in your free time?”

“I have vegetables growing up here” Y/N smiles at Strange enjoying the stupid question a bit. “If I’m not asked by Wong to help clean up your mess? Or we don’t have anything planned…I’m always up here making sure the automatic watering system I’ve got is still working, my veggies are growing or in need of maintenance, making sure the grass isn’t blocking Ms. Stevens’ window, and feeding the strays that come up here. Or simply just to relax up here” They finished their rambling noticing his admiring gaze making the heat rise in their face before quickly turning to the scream they both couldn’t tell was out of excitement.

The two quickly ran to America’s position finding the cats she found on one of the benches Y/N put up there.

“They—-“

“I’m an intelligent human being, Strange. They’ve been given their shots. It took a few tries to get some of them to the vet but these are my babies even if I found them in the most…disgusting places. But regardless! Taken care of. She’s safe to pet them. Stop helicoptering”

Strange rolls his eyes smiling watching his partner move a few of the cats off the bench to set their bag down taking the few cans they brought out of the bag. They handed him one to open and set given the two cats swarming his legs brushing up against him.

“Hi…” He knelt and opened the can in hand only to be swarmed by the cats. His mistake was to open it at their level.

“The only time you’re ever going to be drowning in pussy” Y/N laughs taking the half-opened can watching Strange accept his fate and letting the cats explore him for the food source that was in their hands. But some found him comfortable and decided he was their new bed.

America decided to do the same by laying in the grass letting some of the cats migrate to lay on her or next to her. Y/N couldn’t let the moment slide as they quickly took their phone out to document the occasion before finishing up getting the cats fed and then getting their lunch out.

After a bit of cuddles with the cats, the three found themselves all sitting in the grass enjoying the cat company and the sandwiches Y/N prepared along with potato salad, watermelon, and apple slices with peanut butter (America’s request), and a few other finger foods.

“The greenhouse over there…” Strange starts. “is where you get all your vegetables? Is that why Wong is happier than normal when fresh produce shows up in the mess hall at Kamar-Taj?”

“I’ll never reveal…my very obvious secret” They chuckle continuing to eat their lunch petting a few cats occasionally.

________

“So you’re a wizard now”

“Sorcerer but alright”

“Don’t bring back the Strange complex into this life now. I get how mighty and powerful you are” Y/N continues to follow him through Kamar-Taj enjoying the vibe and energy the place gave with or without the people present. It was different…

“If it’s not too…much…I would like for you to work with me again.”

“Strange…”

“But I would be fine if this isn’t of any interest to you. I’ll admit it gets a bit lonely here and at the New York Sanctum…wouldn’t mind your company”

“Even if I learn a thing or two? Maybe become a better sorcerer than you?” They smirk up at Strange feeling his hands find purchase on their face memorizing every single detail.

“You think you can top me, Y/N?”

“Oh…Do I need to remind you that I can?”

“Hm” He leans into them feeling their hands grab at his robes to pull him closer. “Please do”

________

“We need more days like these”

“America coming home early from a half day?”

“Mmm. Yes and no. The last minute adventures that aren’t filled with worry regarding the multiverse or any magic related nonsense that needs to be fixed.” Strange continues as he pulled Y/N closer into him while walking back to the sanctum with a happy America carrying a bengal after convincing Strange to bring one home. “I want more of them…and I like our little bubble…”

“So do I” They smile approaching the stairs to the sanctum watching America run right in as they stop a few steps up to be at Strange’s level. He brought himself close enough setting their bag down feeling them grab his collar pressing their lips firming against his.

Strange chased for another kiss when they parted knowing for a fact they were enjoying the sight. Making his blush more present.

“Let me bribe Wong with some fresh tomatoes so we can sleep in tomorrow. Be in our bubble a little longer”

“Before the world needs us”

“Before the world needs us, Stephen”

[lonelinessinthemirrordimension]

Y/N: *opens up about Abusive ex*

Sinister Strange: My love if we weren’t the only ones alive in this universe, I’d torture the bastard in quite a few creative ways…

Y/N: It’s the thought that counts

[lonelinessinthemirrordimension]

Wong: Explain to me how your cat ended up in Kamar Taj

Y/N: Huh? I didn’t portal him there or anything. I’m rarely at Kamar Taj

Wong & Y/N: *realize*

Dr. Strange: *stepping through the portal with said cat in hand seeing both of their disappointed looks* What did I do

[lonelinessinthemirrordimension]

Dr. Strange: *hiding all the skewers*

Wong: why

Dr. Strange: Third eye again

Wong: You know they can get creative with poking your eye out right?

Dr. Strange: *shivers to the thought*

Y/N: *behind him without being notified, slowly raising a spoon*

I DONT KNOW WHY I HATE HIS THIRD EYE SO MUCH

[lonelinessinthemirrordimension]

IMMA SUCK THIS MAN’S DI——

Yeah. Okay.

Happy Birthday Benedict 💚
