okay so I can't stop thinking about a nerdy prudes star trek au
Pete: Android, Chief of Science
second “son” and creation of infamous non-federation cyberneticist t'noy karaxis (because come on that just sounds like a Star Trek name) 
t’noy’s first creation (ted) was considered unstable/aggressive by the federation standards and was incredibly dangerous, but when they went to handle the situation both ted and t’noy karaxis had ~mysteriously disappeared~
pete doesn’t know where they went either and he’s always very worried about them showing up again (but also, secretly, really wants at least ted to)
pete was never completely finished because of the disappearance, so he’s faulty, prone to power fluctuations (woah,,,, almost like low blood sugar,,, crazy,,,,)
he’s got an emotion chip, but it’s also faulty, in that it spikes hard into overdrive, and he has a hard time controlling it some of the time
If he’s feeling really upset/worried about something important/embarrassed he’s prone to remove it (especially when he’s younger/before he’s got his established friend-group-crew; they really try to stop him from doing that)
VERY IN LOVE WITH STEPH BUT HE DOES NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND IT AND IT’S STRESSING HIM OUT
started just as a normal science officer but like six people died and now he’s got the position– he’s also really stressed out about that precedent
he loves outer space so bad, they regularly have to reign him in on ground missions or during very dangerous space-issues because he’s just so excited about learning cool new space facts
his room is just books and experiments and a huge window so when everyone else goes to sleep he kind of just Stares out at the stars
he has little cyber-glasses that ‘help him analyze things’ but mostly he wears them because he thinks they look cool
not great with people both for android reasons and for ‘spent the vast majority of his early existence entirely alone and isolated, finishing building himself’ reasons 
Steph: Half-betazoid, Security Officer (She’s….. the brawn……. he’s the brains)
okay first things first I know betazoid's irises that are all black but I've always thought it would be cool if it was their whole eye and this is my au, gene roddenberry, so leave me alone
back to actual au: her dad (human) is a high ranking starfleet officer who nepo-babies her through the academy and onto a starship but he’s incredibly open, both vocally and projecting-his-emotions wise, that he’s doing it to get rid of her
her mom (betazoid) died when she was really little and she was raised across multiple starships/bases by her dad, so she’s entirely cut off from that part of her culture
she’s flying completely blind with her emotion/mind reading abilities and from a very young age has learned how to take advantage of it for her own benefit
it’s basically masking times four hundred because she’s navigating all of her relationships and interactions based on the thoughts of those around her/what they’d like or want from her
she’s constantly subjected to the really gross thoughts of her crewmates and it’s GROSS AND BAD and has really heightened her defenses
especially in her academy days (at the behest of her friends) or when she’s feeling threatened she can and will use her mind reading abilities to be really, really mean but,,,, she doesn’t do it much anymore and does feel very bad about it
she really hates pete at first because he’s the first person she’s never been able to read the mind of and she doesn’t know how to navigate it/it’s way, way too vulnerable for her but it actually ends up making them way closer because it’s the first relationship she’s ever had based fully on trust
never actually gave a shit about star fleet or it’s missions before, she was honestly really annoyed by the academy and her dad all but forcing her to take this position, but it’s… sort of growing on her (don’t tell anyone)
Grace: Human, Medical Officer
human and incredibly proud of that
she’s like…. maybe a little prejudiced about it,,, she certainly doesn’t mean to be,,,, but she’s always the one to deliver that classic star trek ‘I thought this race didn’t have BLANK advancement, humans do this better, etc...’ lines that kicks off an episode to tell you about the new alien race of the episode
both her parents worked with star fleet but never actually made it off of earth (because they didn’t want to) so she’s her family’s equivalent of ‘kind of a rebel’ for wanting to be on a starship
she’s just a really high achiever and is treating it sort of like a mission trip to help other planets
(she also just��� really wanted to and thinks it’s cool but she thinks that's kind of selfish so she keeps that a secret) 
doesn’t trust pete and is at least somewhat miffed about him not needing help from medical 
met steph in academy and was really, really, really excited when they got assigned on the same ship (steph was NOT)
huge stickler for rules and regulations and it’s either incredibly helpful or causes all their problems there's no in between
morally against the holodeck and no one is necessarily clear on why
because her parents worked for star fleet on earth she still lived with them during academy so being on the ship is her first time ever being apart from them and it’s causing some sort of crisis (though who know which way said crisis is going to hard pivot) (you hope it’s in a gay way but it’s also grace so it could be in a space murder way,.,., only time will tell)
Ruth: Human, Engineer
human and livid about it
desperately wants to be captain one day, and has dreams of being on the bridge, but it became clear very quickly in the academy that she was too anxious to ‘boldly go’ as far as she’d need to to achieve that :(
she’s very good at engineering but she thinks it’s boring, and she thinks just being a human amongst all these cool aliens is lame, and she kind of is under the impression everyone is judging her for it (they’re not)
don’t let this bitch around an visiting vulcans she will ask them about pon farr
she asks steph about “the phase” IMMEDIATELY (context: the phase is where mature betazoids suddenly become horny forever basically) and was like ‘is that going to happen even though ur only half??’ and steph, who had never heard about it, was HORRIFIED
met richie and pete in academy and thought they were so cool she needed them to be her friends or she’d die
they were both very okay with it 
they’re all buddies :)
she helps pete with any repairs when he gets damaged or something happens- she’s the only one he trusts to do anything other than himself 
(... she also wants to test if he’s actually ‘fully functional’... pete’s said no so far though :/)
spends hours on the holodeck
Richie: Andorian, Communications Officer
he’s not much of a fighter, despite being andorian, and initially wanted to go more into the artistic side of his culture but his fascination with other planets/cultures/people as well as the concept of ‘boldly going’ pushed him into joining starfleet
still draws/creates art in his free time tho
managed to be fluent in like forty different alien languages and the universal translator pisses him off in CONCEPT (even though it’s still incredibly helpful that he doesn’t Need it and is part of why he has his job)
he keeps his room freezing and pete’s the only one willing to hang out with him in it because he can’t get cold :) 
he’s mad he has to wear the red uniform because of his job >:( he’s blue why can’t he wear blue >:(
constantly gets in trouble for wearing increasingly non regulation layers over his uniform
single handedly caused the tribble outbreak on their starship
he’s banned from ground duty anytime they’re on a random planet because he gets over excited and keeps almost dying from getting straight up phaser-set-to-stunned (because he’s not only andorian but he’s a particularly fragile andorian like it doesn’t even need to be a phaser pistol just a normal phaser fucks him up)
also spends hours on the holodeck, often with ruth, and they like to drag pete with them even if he doesn’t really get it

NPMD SPOILER WARNING FOR ANYONE JUST SCROLLING BY! :]
okay so i have no clue how you feel about the au where after max was taken to the Black and white, things were sorta reversed and Richie and Ruth come back to life (basically like the tgwdlm au where everything is reversed when the meteor explodes)
but if you’re not like opposed to it, do you think that Ruth and Richie would get some comfort tickles to be shown everything is alright (including a bunch of hugs and tears and long talks and reassurance.) cause ruth was humiliated in her death and richie was implied to have an absolutely gruesome and violent death (with Sam puking when he saw the body and everything) so they’d definitely be a little messed up from everything
I gotta admit I’m a little out of touch with some of the popular au’s & headcanons in this fandom & most others because I just stick to the people I follow & I don’t venture into the tags very often, but I absolutely love these kinds of au’s!
There’s so many potential for au’s in Hatchetfield because it’s basically canon that there’s multiple timelines/universes, so technically anything can go!
I feel like they’d need a lot of therapy, but if they tried to talk about what actually happened the therapist would think they were legit insane, so that’s not really an option. Instead, they fall back on their friends who lived through these experiences. It’s the only place they feel safe enough to do so tbh
Pete, Steph & Grace are great listeners, & they all comfort them in their own ways, but the most important thing is just listening & being there to ground them. After the factory reset, Richie & Ruth are a lot more timid & sad than they used to be, which is to be expected. But that doesn’t mean their friends don’t try to help bring a smile to their face whenever possible. Pete will offer warm, comforting hugs & sneak in a few tickles to cheer them up after a much needed cry (something Ted would do for him after a rough day at school) & he’ll play video games with them in comfortable silence until they’re ready to talk again. After they come back, he’s not as mean of a ler as he used to be because he feels like they deserve to be handled with care. Steph on the other hand has the complete opposite tactic & thinks it would be worse to coddle them, so her techniques don’t change too much. She also prefers to comfort them by sharing music she thinks they’ll like & does the earbud sharing thing. Grace uses the opportunity to try & convert them, but she knows when she needs to be a friend & comfort them instead of their youth pastor. She actually gets pretty close with Ruth after all this. It takes longer than they would’ve liked, but things do return to some semblance of normal
All in all, I think Richie would handle the situation a bit better than Ruth just because he would make jokes about how he’s like an anime character now. “I’m just like Goku for real! :D”
I know it’s been a long time since I’ve written one, but au’s & crossovers really are my bread & butter I fucking love them! There’s infinite possibilities!

Magic and Chemistry
Prompt: Your Stephens prodigy and you might have a thing for a certain spider-man (And of course Tony and Stephen are dating because there has to be Ironstrange in this)
Thank you so much for the prompt! I love it, I get to write for all three of my favorite characters! I hope this was what you envisioned!
Pairings: Reader x Peter Parker, Reader and Stephan Strange, Stephan Strange x Tony Stark, Tony Stark and basically everyone, Peter Parker and basically everyone 
Tumblr media
****
Stephen wanted nothing more than a relaxing day, one that consisted of meditating peacefully in the sanctity of his bedroom with a book held plainly in his hands and the soft melodies of David Bowie drifting through the air, but was he going to get that? Evidently not
You shattered his plans as you came barreling through his bedroom door, a smile dancing on your lips and the burst of energy clear in your composure “I’m goin out! See you later tonight, don’t wait up old man!” You declared swiftly already moving to bounce out of the room as quickly as you bounced in, hoping to not leave any room for interjections from the Sorcerer Supreme, but of course that didn’t work
His floating back was to you as his eyes never left his book “Out?” You heard the man question, his low voice stopping your movements
“Yeah, out. Like outside, where normal people live and function, not that you would understand” you rambled, your sarcastic tone laying way to a heavy eye roll from Stephen
“I’m gonna need more than that” he briefly declared
You gave a heavy sigh as your body leaned against the door you had thrown open “It was good enough for Wong” you grumbled, trying not to give up the details of your personal life since you knew quite well what would happen if you did
He quirked an eyebrow “I’m not Wong am I?” The man questioned with the reminiscent of a smile
After a few moments of silence, and realizing Stephen wasn’t going to give in you took a deep breath before eliciting for a loud groan “I’m going to go meet Peter over at Stark towers” you spoke, words flowing quickly out of you mouth in an attempt to try and make Stephen not understand you but alas, of course he did
Both eyebrows rose as he finally directed his attention to you “Peter now hmm?” The man began, you knew this was coming
Crinkling your eyes closed you shook your head “C’mon Stephan please don’t do this” you pleaded, already feeling color rush to your face
“Do what?” He questioned feigning innocence as a smile tugged at his lips “I’m just curious as to who hangs out with my little prodigy”
Opening your eyes you stared daggers into him “Well now you know, may I leave please”
He clicked his tongue as his feet slowly hit the ground, already beginning to stride over to you “Not yet” he began “Tell me about this meeting, what is it exactly? What are your intentions with the Spider-Boy and what are his intentions with you?”
About to open your mouth to say something along the lines of ‘none of your business Gandalf’ you shut it again quickly finding a better, more intuitive response, a small smile beginning to form on your own lips “I don’t know Stephan, maybe they’re the same as your intentions with Stark?” You fought back with defiance and a smug look
Stephens cheeks quickly flushed as he glanced down at you, the two of you falling into an intimidating silence. It was quite obvious that your master had a thing for the millionaire engineer, and it was quite funny for you to watch. You knew Stephan and you could see through all his lies of going over to Stark towers for a ‘sparring lesson’ or for an ‘intellectual discussion’, you knew they were much more graphic and intimate than that. Thinking of a way to get back on top Stephan’s flushed cheeks quickly returned back to their normal color “Fine” he began
“Thanks Stephie! Still, don’t wait up-“
But you were cut off by a raise of Stephan’s finger “But I’ll be coming with you”
You quickly lost your smile as you watched the sorcerer, looking for any signs of him just joking but you found none “Ewww why?”
He slowly began to gain back his smug grin as he slipped his sling ring out of his pocket and onto his fingers “To keep an eye on you” he declared “If you two are anything like Stark and I I’ll have to make sure you two never get within arms length” and with that his smile turned mischievous as his hands formed a portal into the middle of Tony’s living room, your face contorting into one of disgust “TMI Steph” you mumbled before grumpily stepping through his portal and hearing it close behind you as he followed after you
With your rather dramatic entrance you were sure to spook Peter whose former relaxing body shot up from the couch he was just lounging on as his eyes rapidly moved to the portal you had just stepped through “Whoa!” He started, a nervous laugh following “Y/N! I thought you said you were gonna walk over” Peter questioned a tug of a smile appearing on his lips all before his eyes landed on the tall figure behind you, Peter’s face slowly beginning to lose color “Mr. Strange!” he said in a voice a bit too startled, his hand beginning to rub the back of his neck 
“Dr. Strange” Stephen corrected, which only caused the boy in front of him to fidget more
You offered a sigh in response, taking a step forward as your hand found their way into your jeans back pockets “Well I was gonna” you started, shooting an angry glare at your master who stood smugly behind you “But someone decided to invite themselves to the party” 
“I see that” Peter responded, his eyes too afraid to peel themselves off of Stephens before he finally gained the courage, his eyes moving to settle on yours, his whole demeanor slowly relaxing “Well, uh, Dr. Strange did you want to join Y/N and I?” the boy timidly questioned, still unsure on what exactly Stephen was doing here
You moved to answer first “No-”
“-Yes” Stephen interjected as he took a step to stand by your side “I want to get to know Peter a bit more, have a talk with the kid trying to court my little prodigy” 
With that you heard Peter choke himself on air alone, coughing loudly, trying to clear his blocked air way
“Court? Really? That’s what you’re going with here?” 
“Well it is his intentions is it not?” Strange retorted, his eyebrows raised as his lips rose in a smile, watching poor Peter still feverishly choking “You do like Y/N don’t you Peter?”
Throwing your head into your hands you wished you had never even come in the first place, or at least, never told Strange you were leaving. Wong was definitely your favorite master
“Of-Of course” the boy choked out, his eyes wide as he was uncertain on what to say “I like Y/N a lot” 
His words brought a quiet smile to your face, the two of you weren’t exactly dating, not yet at least, but you two had definitely spent intimate moments together, ones that mainly took place at night when Stephan was asleep and you were able to portal over to Peter’s with ease or even have the spiderling sneak into your room at the sanctum. The thoughts began to consume you, the only thing pulling you away from the fond memories was the voice of Strange “And don’t you think it to be smart to have a talk with her master before you make any further advancements towards her?” 
“What are you my dad?!” You questioned incredulously, willing the man with your mind to please stop 
Waving you off with his hand his attention turned back to Peter “Let the boy answer”  
Peter went red at that, the memories that you had just thought of obviously filtering through his head as well. He began to feel guilty for not addressing the Sorcerer sooner, but he didn’t feel too bad because the man was terrifying when he wanted to be “Yea-Yes of course, is that what you wanted to talk about?”
Stephen opened his mouth to reply, loving holding this kid in the palm of his hand when you finally interjected him, trying to put the boy you adored out of his misery “No actually he didn’t, he came here because he has plans with Tony?” you pushed, trying to get the stupid sorcerer away from you
“Maybe Tony could join us?” Stephen suggested, not letting up his own stubborn attitude to make way for your own “I’m sure he’d love to sit down and chat about this relationship as well”
“What relationship?” A new voice interjected, wafting into the room with confidence and humor, the three of you turning your heads to watch Tony stride into the room, his head hung as his eyes gazed upon a blueprint screen in his hands, tapping it a few times before sliding it into his back pocket and pointing his attention up at you “Hermione and Dumbledore!” he says, a smile slipping onto his lips as his eyes filter between the two of you “What a pleasant surprise”
“God this is a shit show” you mumbled lowly under your breath quiet enough to where only Peter could hear, his lips curling into a desperately needed humored smile 
“Pete you didn’t tell me we had guests” Tony scolded, directing his attention to Peter who looked like he was about to explode 
“Well, to be fair, I did tell you Y/N was coming over later today” the boy responded, his hand returning back to his neck to once again rub it raw 
Tony made a few clicking noises with his tongue as he wagged his finger at the boy “Yeah that’s right, you did, something ‘bout a chem test right?” 
Peter lit up at that, hoping to get this situation cleared to where he could just take you and disappear “Yeah exactly” 
With a nod of Tony’s head his gaze left Peters and turned to Stephan's, cocking an eyebrow at the sorcerer “So then why are you here Dumbledore?”
Stephan was about to open his mouth, probably to say something stupid, but you weren’t about to have any of it “He came to see you” you interjected, giving your master a rather rough nudge, pushing him towards the other man, you knew you’d get yelled at for that later
Tony glanced between you and Stephan, biting down on his lower lip “S’that so?”
Stephan’s eyes went from you to Peter, weighing his options of continuing to mess with the two of you or go to Tony and mess with him. He released a breath he didn’t realize he was holding in before a smile appeared on his lips “It is Anthony” he began, beginning to move closer to the engineer “Thought we could maybe look over some of your new gadgets” he quipped, his smile turning mischievous as you could feel yourself about to throw up 
The engineer quickly understood Stephan as he too found himself smiling “Well you’re in luck, I have plenty of new gadgets to discuss” the man responded, nearing closer to the other “C’mon, leave these kids alone and I’ll show ya” he began “I’m sure you’ve tortured them enough with your intense stare and overall presence. Specifically Pete over there who looks like he’s bout to pass out” and with that Tony was tugging at the other mans arm “You’ve done enough for today” to which Stephen gave a nod to and allowed himself to be lead further into Stark towers and into the mans workshop, completely out of sight and ear shot 
With the fleeting presence of your master and Tony you immediately turned to Peter who was both confused and terrified as you began to laugh at the whole situation “Oh my god I am so sorry” 
His composure slowly began to relax once more as he listened to the melodious sounds of your laughter, letting out a few chuckles himself he neared closer to you “Should I even ask about what just happened?” 
“I barley know myself” you responded truthfully, finally being able to give the boy a genuine smile that filtered all the way to your eyes 
A calming silence steadied itself between the two of you before he remembered why this mess had even started “So chemistry?” Peter questioned, gesturing to his room in Stark Towers 
“Yeah, sounds good” you replied, about to walk towards the boys room before you felt his hand on yours
You felt him intertwine your fingers as he pulled you close to himself “I feel like we never even said hi to each other” he admitted while a bashful pink traveled up from his neck, resting on his cheeks 
“Maybe that’s because we never did” you reminded, suppressing a quiet laugh that instead formed itself through a lopsided grin 
Grinning himself he reached for your other hand, curling his fingers in between your own before he began to swing both of your hands childishly. The two of you started at each other for a moment, his eyes losing themselves in your own, his thumbs drawing soothing circles on the backs of your hands. It wasn’t anything special but it made you feel safe, your hands secured by his own as he gently lowered his forehead to rest against your own, his hot breath tingling every fiber in your entranced body “Hi” he mumbled, barley audible, a dopey smile spread evenly on his face
Giggling quietly you cutely scrunched up your nose and hummed peacefully “Hi” 
You didn’t know who released hands first, one set of intertwining fingers leaving each other to place themselves somewhere else on each others bodies, Peter’s now free hand settling perfectly on your waist as your own drew itself up to the nape of his neck, your fingers curling themselves into the baby hairs that settled themselves in his lower hairline “I thought Dr. Strange was gonna rope me into a game of twenty questions and If i didn’t answer something correctly he would kill me” Peter confessed, his lips smiling but his eyes proving that he was pretty scared 
“Awe I’d never let him hurt you” you started, squeezing his hand lightly for reassurance “He might be the Sorcerer Supreme but I’m scrappy as hell. Plus Wong would definitely back me up”
The boy laughed at that, any tension help up in the room completely fading between stolen glances and wishful smiles
“You know, I feel like I deserve something nice for being put through all of that” The boy quipped, a lopsided grin transforming his smile 
Glancing up at the boy you quirked a brow “Oh yeah? And what do you feel you deserve there Parker?”
He feigned thought for a moment “A medal would be nice, something that said ‘I survived Dr. Stephan Strange’” he began, tilting his head down
“Hmm that might take a while to make...would you settle for something else?” you bargained, pleasure apparent in your words
“Like?” 
“Like this” and with that you closed the distance as you met him in the middle, pressing your lips together in a long overdue kiss that melted you to your core
The hand around your waist was strong and secure while the other hand intertwined in your own made you feel like you were floating, the way his lips danced along your own was worth the pestering from Stephan, speaking of whom
“Chemistry test huh?” you heard a voice announce itself, loud enough to cause the two of you to go flying apart from one another, heart rate high and nerves on end 
“Leave em alone Stephie” Tony grumbled, his own arm around the waist of the sorcerer “I think they’re cute” the engineer confessed as he threw the two of you a wink, color flooding to both of your faces “Besides, you’re no better” and with that Tony did the least expected thing you could’ve thought of as he reached down and slapped the sorcerers ass, hard
Stephan’s face flushed completely white as Tony only chuckled, Peter and you sharing a humorous glance of ‘I don’t know what’s happening but I’m not mad about it’ “Back to the lab Gandalf!” and before anyone else could say anything Stephan basically ran back into seclusion leaving you and Peter alone once more where instead of staying out in the open the two of you floated on to the boys room continuing once more with your ‘chemistry test’
