Fic Title: A Shooting Star Named After You
Kinda wanna steal this for my IM3 AU, but it doesn’t quite fit.
So. IM1 AU.
Stephen and Christine are hanging out on a rare night they both have off. There’s a blaze across the sky.
“Make a wish, Stephen,” Christine would laugh.
And Stephen would make a wish, pretending that Christine was being silly and childish so she wouldn’t ask what he wished for.
Several minutes later, they’re both called in.
To perform surgery on Tony Stark. Who crashed in an experimental suit of flying armor.
Pepper there to have them sign NDAs bc they really don’t need news getting out of their CEO nearly killing himself just after he’s gotten back from captivity. And bc they need to keep this so close to the chest, Stephen gets stuck doing follow-up where he’d usually pass it on to someone else so he could move on to the next big surgery.
He gets to know Tony - snarking ensues - and they fall in love.
Stephen’s wish was for love.
