Summary
14,000,605 universes and only one win in the time Doctor Strange had to look.
This is not the universe where they won against Thanos. Sitting in the ruins of their battlefield, knowing everything he swore to protect, his universe was coming to an end, Stephen makes a choice.
Sacrificing his body for a spell, he takes the only souls he knows can orchestrate a victory back in time. A spell created by his own hands, fueled with his sacrifice, he catapults himself and Tony Stark back to the moments of their birth.
With their reality at stake, they need to create a chance for their time-line to win. After all, their universe wasn't the one that won.

Summary
"Fuck this," Tony grumbled to himself as he tried not to yank on the car battery cables connected to his chest in frustration. "Fuck Thanos, fuck time travel, fuck the fucking glow stones."
He paused, glowering up at the security camera blinking away in the corner of the cave.
"Actually fuck everything," he growled slightly louder. "Imma Mary Sue the shit out of myself, just you fucking watch."

for a hundred visions and revisions by aventria, iluxia

Summary
Dr. Strange looks at the world after Thanos and, faced with its seemingly irreparable brokenness, breaks his own oath. Tony, Stephen, and Loki go back in time for one more chance - an intentional choice, because they are each other's insurance against repeating the same mistakes. Tony wakes up shortly before the Stark Expo with the reactor's palladium core still poisoning him. Stephen wakes up with undamaged hands and a flourishing medical career. Loki wakes up in Asgard one day before Thor's coronation.
"Do I dare disturb the universe? / In a minute there is time / for decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse."
[ Yet another take on that time travel fic with lots of worldbuilding, hand-wavey comic book science, political intrigue, inventing, nerding out, and a broken Tony trying to fix a broken world - but this time he's not alone. ]

all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter by theidesofmarch1
Fandoms: The Pitt (TV)

Summary
Despite all that he’s surprised sometimes, for just a moment, at how normal it all feels. How mundane—domestic, almost—it is to wake up next to Samira and open his eyes to her still form awake and already watching him, her deep brown eyes glowing almost red with the moonlight they reflect. It’s the same color as the light that spreads over the walls of her apartment when she opens her fridge, rows and rows of blood bags stacked neatly inside it that give it an eerie glow. It had almost made him laugh the first time he’d seen it because how was it that a vampire had a more orderly blood bag organization than every hospital Jack has ever seen from the inside?

“So which one is yours?”
The kids were breaking, a wall of blue jerseys dissipating back to their awaiting parents, when Ziya spotted her.
“Amma!” She screeched, making a mad dash across the field, dirt kicking up underneath her cleats.

sweetness that I took (for sweetness that she gave to me) by simplyprologue

Summary
“And listen,” he continues, and she can watch the part of his brain prone to nervous rambling switch on. “I know the popular opinion is against my general sanity but—I swear to god, I wanna marry you Samira Mohan. And you can say no, and I’m still gonna spend the rest of my life in love with you.”
“Until your other leg falls off,” she repeats, a little distantly.
Jack nods solemnly. “The chance is slim but never zero.”

Samira Mohan does not cope gracefully with having to wait months for her board exam results. Jack Abbot decides to distract her.

a little sugar in my bowl, a little sweetness down in my soul by arcticmonks

Summary
As she’s working with the next few patients (broken leg, UTI, baby with a fever), no one else says anything, though she does get a kind little smile from Jesse that says that he heard what happened but he doesn’t care. Too bad he’s gay. He’s kind and can actually hold a conversation, and that salt and pepper hair is —
“Dr. Mohan,” Abbot calls from somewhere behind her as she’s finishing up her last chart before she hands off to the night shift. “Come see me before you clock out.”
