Stephen Strange Is My Husband

Work in progress.

I just finished watching Infinity War for like the 8th time and got an idea….

What if Stephen was pregnant during that time? Like during his third trimester. The baby could be Tony’s or someone else’s but Tony does whatever he can to protect Stephen and the baby. He literally will use everything he has to protect them. Tony would tell Strange to stay in the sanctum during the New York invasion in the first part of the movie.

If Tony is in a relationship with Stephen at the time then both would be in bed when Bruce falls into the Sanctum

Strange would already be up from just being uncomfortable with the baby inside him, so he would be the first to see Bruce fall in. Strange would hurry and wake Tony

Bruce would fill them in on the news about Thanos and then the invasion would happen.

Tony would hurry to the door of the Sanctum to see what’s up followed by Stephen (still in his pajamas and now wearing the cloak)

Tony would REFUSE to let Stephen out.

Skipping to a scene where Strange is kidnapped at the Sanctum. He is binded and Maw would comment on how helpless the pregnant sorcerer is. Maw would also threaten to kill the child if Stephen doesn’t give up the time stone.

Stephen would try to fight back but he would start feeling slight practice contractions from just using his magic

This would get him kidnapped and Tony would follow after Wong has told him about Stephen’s kidnapping.

Moving onto the scene in the ship, Stephen would be bound to a table or chair. He would try to hold back his fear as Maw tries to get him to hand over the stone by using the microsurgery needles.

This is where Tony and Peter would come in and save the day. Thankfully the cloak and the bindings on Stephen keep him safe when Tony blows a hole in the ship.

When Tony reunites with his love, he kissed his lips and makes sure the baby is okay.

That means he’s not alive when Thanos snaps his fingers, so he doesn’t turn to dust. Cue, Tony realizing what happened and attempting some desperate CPR. Which works, because I’m not a complete monster and I have an OTP to preserve.

So now Tony is stranded on Titan not only with Nebula and his own serious injuries but also a very hurt and barely conscious doctor who can only give a few hints for his immediate treatment before losing it again.

But, since they both have rather busy lives with lots of responsibilities, what time they have together they tend to spend alone.

The result is that no one else Tony knows quite believes that he has a handsome, world-saving boyfriend who is also literally magical.

I mean, sure: Bruce met someone who vaguely fit that description once and the spider-kid says he exists, but no one else has seen him.

And lately Tony has been acting pretty erratically, almost like for the first time ever he is really happy…

On the spaceship in infinity war, Stephen gets his heat at a very inopportune time. Tony, after struggling between his loyalty to pepper and the need for them to beat thanos, comes to the conclusion that the only option they have is for him to help Stephen through his heat. They can’t beat Thanos without one of their strongest players in the game.

Fast forward through the battle and Stephen is snapped away. Endgame happens, but Tony doesn’t die for some reason. A burst of magic living in his body protects him. He’s hurt, but alive, and he goes back to his happy life.

Stephen, a month or so later, discovers that he’s pregnant. And the only person who the father could be is… Tony. Their baby survived the snap. Stephen incredibly torn. Tony has his perfect family. Stephen doesn’t have any right to interrupt that.

Meanwhile, the baby starts showing signs of strange (pardon the pun) magic stronger than anything Stephen’s ever seen before, even though it hasn’t been born yet and it senses stephens sadness and loneliness and seems adamant on bringing Tony back to him, and maybe, just maybe, the Stark household has room for just two more.

Tony has forgotten about his time with Stephen. Of all the things he remembers about that day his heat was the last of it. And it wasn’t romantic either. It was quick and dirty and efficient.

Knowing what is to come, Stephen works to get out to the Soul Stone, but when he does he wakes up in a desert with an exhausted/scared/shocked much younger Tony Stark standing over him. 

Accidentally/or villain did it drugged Strange warping reality around him with his magic and Tony trying to take care of him.

In a different dimension, on the other end of the multiverse, Doctor Strange, overwhelmed by battles and foes, begins spell work to create an artifact, a powerful metal man to help him fight. As he works on it, he starts to call it Tony.
