Stephen can't cook, except for simple meals, but he's really good at baking. I like the idea of him lowkey being a stress baker and making random pasteries in the middle of the night. After MoM, he teaches America what little meals he knows and how to bake. It becomes one of their favourite things to do together.
America is scared of thunder and lightning cause it looks and sounds like her powers, giving her flashbacks of all the times she's been afraid and ripped out of whatever universe she's hiding in. Her first thunderstorm after MoM, she runs to find Stephen in the library, and he hugs her while reading to her until she falls asleep in his arms. They stay like that till the storms over (until America wakes up).
Inspired by the Star Wars books, Anakin used to sleep on the floor next to Obi-Wans bed out of fear of him leaving, America Sleeping on the floor next to Stephens bed afraid she'll wake up in another universe after a nightmare, she makes sure to be there after he falls asleep and before he wakes up, but when he finds out (he wakes up in the middle of the night for whatever reason, maybe Cloak woke him to tell him about America idk) he moves her room next to his and uses magic to put a door joining the rooms together so she can open it when she sleeps allowing her to have him in her sight.
Because of how young she was when she first travelled the Multiverse, she's behind on reading and writing, so Stephen takes the time to personally teach her and finds her books he thinks she'll like. She has a whole shelf full of books gifted to her from him, including some of his (and Donnas) childhood favourites.
Along the same lines, he shows her all his favourite records and info dumps about every song, album and band, he expected her to ignore it or get annoyed like most people but instead she asks questions and even quizzes him like his co-workers used to do while he was in the operating room. She thinks it's cool how he can remember every detail and uses him to find songs she can't remember the name of (she'll hum the tune or tell him the lyrics she can remember).
They have movie nights pretty much every week, unless Stephen's busy, where he helps America catch up on all the media she's missed from his universe.
Sort of an extension of the previous headcanon, but I like to think Stephens' favourite band is Pink Floyd, I think it would be cute if it also ended up being Americas, too. However, I also think it'd be funny if she hates them or pretends to hate them just to rile him up. Meanwhile, Stephen keeps trying to convince her why they're the best band.
He also plays the piano and teaches America how to play when she asks. They'll play together, and America will take over when his hands start to hurt too much to continue. He'll sometimes quietly sing along. He's not amazing, but he can hold a tune, and America likes it she thinks it's soft and calming. She sometimes asks him to sing to her when she's having trouble sleeping, and of course, he always does.
(Inspired by Xochitl) America loves tik tok and learns all the dances. She constantly tries to get Stephen to do them with her, but he refuses every time (she's not giving up though). Even though he refuses to partake, he always watches whatever dances she wants to show him and helps her film her videos whenever she asks. Eventually, she shows him random tik toks and downloads the app on his phone. They end up sending each other random videos back and forth all the time. But they never respond with any actual texts they either use the reactions or send an emoji back. (They even do this when sitting right beside each other, Wong is eternally confused)
America loves art, so Stephen constantly buys her all sorts of art supplies and makes sure they never run out, she hangs it up all over the Sanctum even painting on some of the walls, Wong is yet to find out about this, Stephen and America are waiting for Wong to notice. She paints her bedroom at the Sanctum, and Stephen lends her The Cloak so she can reach the high up parts. She now has a giant mural spreading across her walls and stars all over her ceiling. (Think the tower from Tangled)
They have pizza nights where they try and make homemade pizza, including the weird types of pizza America has found across the Multiverse, but those usually end in disaster since they don't have a recipe for them. Stephen also introduces her to pizza pockets, bagels etc and she becomes obsessed, he loves how happy they make her but he also regrets showing her since she already refuses to eat a balanced diet (the girl lives on pizza).
America constantly steals Stephens' old shirts to wear/paint. He makes poor attempts at complaining, but ultimately he doesn't really care cause as she points out every time he brings it up, he doesn't wear them anymore anyway.
That's all I can think of for right now. Please feel free to add on any headcanons of your own. 💕
It was Stephen’s birthday. And the sorcerer chose today to stay inside and focus on relaxation and catching up on a good book.
That wasn’t happening. Not with Tony around.
The second Stephen fell asleep Tony put his plan into action.
With the help of Wong, Peter and Chavez they decorated the Sanctum.
Decorations hung up, his favorite cake on the kitchen table already made and decorated with the words ‘World’s best Sorcerer/Dad/Friend’ and a little Golden Snitch from Harry Potter at the top just to tease the sorcerer.
Chavez grabbed the presents. Putting them around the table. They’d all gotten him a ‘few’ things.
Peter got him a weighted fox plushie and some bath salts he found he thought Stephen would like.
Chavez got Stephen some new slippers and a set of really pretty tea cups and saucers that were blue with gold outlines. Very fancy. And the best she could both think of and afford.
Wong got him a new book set to read, knowing the man’s preference better than most and some new incense and candles in scents Stephen preferred to use while bathing or meditating. He also got the man a yoga mat because secretly Stephen liked doing Yoga and would often just do it on the floor.
Tony, well he went all out. He got his lover some heated gloves for the winter, a new coat that was an absolutely stunning dark shade of red and heavy enough to keep even Steve Rogers warm. A set of different teas he knew Stephen drank. A new watch, a very fancy one to match Tony’s, totally built by Tony himself. And the last was a surprise.
They all crowded the sleeping sorcerer and decided to take picture first.
Chavez in front pointing to him sleeping while winking, Tony deciding to mimic her doing the exact same pose, Wong decided to go for silly and put bunny ears over the sorcerer’s head while Peter placed a party hat on his head.
When Stephen woke up after the picture was snapped Tony grinned.
“Hey babe. So-“
He paused for a split second.
“Happy Birthday!”
They all shouted in unison, making the sleepy sorcerer chuckle a bit.
“Thanks…”
Peter and Chavez dragged him out of the chair with Levi’s help and pulled him to the kitchen. Of course he laughed at the cake. And opened all his gifts. It was amazing, he absolutely loved it.
The last box he opened had a note ‘Turn around stupid!’
Stephen turned around to see something that made his heart flutter and skip a beat. A light shade of pink coloring his pale cheeks.
Tony was down on one knee, ring box in hand and open.
“A little cheesy I know. And not trying to outshine your birthday or anything. But listen I can’t wait any longer to ask. I’ve had this for a while, don’t ask how long, but just say yes before I keep rambling.”
Tony couldn’t make eye contact. His face held a slight red tone and his heart was racing a mile a minute.
Stephen hummed, kneeling down in front of Tony and placing his index finger beneath the man’s chin to make him look at him.
“Say yes to what?”
Stephen asked with a teasing smirk.
Tony groaned a bit.
“You kn-“
Stephen shook his head.
“I’m stupid. Remember? Your note said so.”
Tony huffed.
“Fine. Say yes to being my husband…before I decide I’ve made a-“
Stephen leaned in and placed a gentle kiss to Tony’s lips.
“Yes.”
He whispered against the man’s lips making Tony’s face turn a darker shade of pink that now matched Stephen’s. Then Tony tackled Stephen to the ground in an embrace while Peter and Chavez cheered and Wong had secretly been recording the entire thing from the second Stephen opened the box, but the smile on his face was clear. He was happy his friend found love. And even more happy that he had said yes.

Happy Birthday to Stephen Strange ！！！🎉🎉🎉
I was going to try and draw something for it, but I've had a lot going on irl and haven't really been enjoying things lately
I promise I haven't forgotten this blog, and one day, I will start posting more frequently again, but for now, here's a late reblog of Americas last birthday 💙
America, Morgan, Peter and Harley congratulate ironstrange
Tony blinked blearily at the mess that was their kitchen. Pancake batter dripped off the counter, flour had ended up everywhere, dusting the counter, floor, and Peter’s clothes. Which was better, he supposed, than the flour in America’s hair, the egg on Harley’s shirt, and the syrup all over Morgan’s hands.
“What fresh hell is this?” Stephen asked, just behind him.
The kids shifted guilty. Morgan was not-so-subtly pushed forward—they only ever used Morgan as their spokesperson when they were trying to get out of trouble, something about her being the most adorable.
HC: Stephen kept his plush after the death of his sister, Donna over the years; he tried to keep Franklin to his original state but over the years of patching him, he like how he look even if he has different color fabric on him. He sees it as a reflection of himself as he grew into a different man than he was years ago.
With his new family, Stephen gifted America Chavez and Wong their own emotional support plushies. Of course they loved it, Chavez adore her jellyfish as a she reminds it of herself full of energy and life. How ironic Stephen gifted Wong an octopus for him after both of them fought with Gargantos but he had a good laugh at it as he notice it's those reservable plushies for stress relievers.
Soon Chavez took a selfie with the gifts they received from Stephen. Stephen knew Donna would of love seeing him happy once more with the friends he made along the way <3
This was an adorable headcanon that me and @doctorstrangehands created after I sharing them an Instagram video based on this guy who has an emotional duck plush who travels the world! Augh! Hoping we can create more head canons in the future
