"Asexual," Tony repeated the word as if it were an insult. "Are you saying I'm... broken?"
"That's not what I said," Stephen replied quickly, sitting up straighter, the pain in his back protesting with an audible crack. "Tony…"

Summary
Steve’s apartment was a sad excuse for an apartment, really.
He didn’t have a lot of things, only really had whatever SHIELD had kept of his locker from the 40’s. He had his suit and a few outfits, and his dog tags and only two sets of kitchen utensils and dishware. Tape for his hands, a duffel bag. Peggy’s picture. Bucky’s.
His apartment was not full, it was clean in an empty way. Never permanent, not a permanent spot for rest. He didn’t rest much in it, only rested when his wrists were tired despite the serum and his head couldn’t stop pounding - something that he was sure had nothing to do with how he turned memories back and forth over and over, until most times he couldn’t breathe.
When he woke up to his apartment that Wednesday morning, he couldn’t get up.

Stephen leaned his bike against the wall and crossed his arms. “Your ‘secret laboratory.’ No one’s going to tell you to stop enjoying things here.”
Tony stared at him, surprised.
For a moment, he was speechless—which was rare. Then a shy smile appeared.
— You're terrible at hiding secret places, you know that?

"They're going to fight again," Clint muttered, crossing his arms beside Sam.
"Again? This has become part of the post-battle protocol," Sam replied, rolling his eyes.
Natasha, without taking her eyes off them both — “The whole. Holy. Mission.”

Stephen closed the folder, letting out a soft sigh. "Sometimes I think the captain really wanted to punish us."
Tony laughed, leaning across the table. “And sometimes I think he’s smarter than he looks. We’re good together.”
"Professionally," Stephen corrected.
“Sure.” Tony bit a smile. “For now.”

Summary
"What if we pretended... I don't know, that we're together?"
Pressured by Pepper and Rhodey to move on, Tony Stark has a brilliant (and terrible) idea: to convince the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange, to enter into a fake relationship of convenience. Rules are established, dinners are arranged, and photos are taken.
It seemed like the perfect plan to keep the curious away. But between nights of pasta at the Tower, visits to the park, and battles against interdimensional monsters, the line between pretense and reality begins to blur. When Stephen is injured in battle, Tony realizes that perhaps the only lie he was telling was to himself.
Or: The one where Tony and Stephen pretend to date until they forget it was all an act.

The other rolled his eyes, wiping his ruined shirt with a handkerchief.
"Are you always like this, or does lack of sleep make your... charm even worse?""I was born this way," Tony replied, with that smug glint in his eye. "Genius is a genetic trait, apparently."
"Modest, I see." The man gave a half-smile—the kind of smile that seemed more like a challenge. "Stephen Strange."
Tony winked, offering his hand without a hint of shame. "Tony Stark. Engineering. The pleasure is all yours, obviously."

I'm going to mobilize the team.
Tony slumped into his chair, his fingers tapping against the table. The whiskey remained untouched. With each passing second of silence, the pressure in his chest only intensified.
Damn, Stephen... where have you gotten yourself into?

Summary
"See you tomorrow, wizard."
Tony Stark said that every day. The problem was that, for Stephen Strange, tomorrow never came. Trapped in a torturous time loop, Stephen must deal with his own demons, phantom pains, and a growing passion for the only man who makes eternity bearable. How many repetitions does it take to have the courage to say "I love you"?

Summary
Tony approached a center console that miraculously appeared intact, his hands hovering over the dusty surface before he began typing commands with intuitive familiarity.
"There's partial power flowing to this specific terminal…" he observed, his fingers moving quickly as lines of code danced on the dusty screen. "Let's see what secrets this dying machine still holds in its memory."
The hologram above the console flickered hesitantly before stabilizing, and then an old recording began to play—an archival video showing Stephen Strange, dressed in impeccable surgical scrubs, speaking animatedly about "Project Ouroboros" to an unseen audience of colleagues. The image was sharp, professional, showing a Stephen some years younger.

Summary
“I invited Mr. Stark,” Peter repeated, as if the repetition would soften the impact, leaning forward with his hands open in supplication. “He was super nice today, gave me a brilliant tip for the models. And I thought it would be a way to… I don’t know, bury the hatchet. Pizza or lasagna, your choice. No pressure.”
Stephen sighed deeply, leaning back in the chair with a creaking sound, running a hand over his face in a gesture of resigned exhaustion. "Peter, you know very well that I don't…"
"You don't like him, I know," Peter interrupted, impatient but gentle, his brown eyes fixed on his father's. "He feels guilty, Dad. About the lab. And I wanted to thank him. That's all. And admit it: he's not so bad."

Tony merely raised an eyebrow. "A wedding ring?" he feigned confusion, twirling the silver ring on his ring finger. "Oh, this. It's... experimental technology. It measures stress levels."

Summary
Stephen should have known that leaving Tony Stark unsupervised in the Sanctum was asking for trouble.
He only needed five minutes. Five measly minutes to complete a containment spell he'd been studying for weeks—something that couldn't be interrupted. But five minutes with Tony Stark loose meant fifty different chances for chaos.The noise came first.
A metallic crack, a short laugh, and then an "oops".Series

"Funny, isn't it?" he said, opening it with a soft snap. "I die to save the world, and you bring me back to it. Then the world returns me with a burnt arm and a dose of nightmares."
Stephen let out a short, bitter laugh. "I should have let you sleep."
"You should have," Tony replied instantly, leaving no room for doubt. "But it's a good thing you didn't."
