Darkness is a beautiful thing. Both with its wonder... and its curse. Kade's world ended on a school trip - and began again in a place meant to contain that darkness. Trapped inside a decaying Hotel that shifts and reshapes with every failure, Kade and three others must face the horrors that hunt them: things that scream through the walls, guard rooms as their own and chase them until they break. Guided only by the voice of a light that claims to protect them, they push deeper into the nightmare. But it soon becomes clear that this apparent protector is hiding something.

She was a dreamer - an astronomer and astrophysicist who believed in the theory of panspermia. He was a sorcerer sworn to protect this reality. And when Doctor Strange first saw Artemis Caldwell at a gala, he knew one thing: she was trouble.** She didn't know she was being judged by him before they'd even met. They didn't belong in each other's world. They were too different. Yet, in millions of future outcomes, even Strange hadn't seen this one coming. --- "You're limping," he said, tone quieter. "Let me help." "I'm fine," Artemis replied flatly. Aster didn't even look up. "She's not. But she doesn't like jerks touching her." --- "Congratulations," Wong said dryly. "Your stupidity just got you married." "WHAT?!" Artemis and Strange shouted together. Aster's jaw dropped. Zane, in her arms, let out a sad "beep" from his toy - the worst wedding theme ever. --- Aster stepped forward, eyes locked on Strange. "Note for next issue," she said. "Villain name: Doctor Egomaniac. Species: Duffer. Weakness: Empathy." "You're a cartoon artist?" Strange blinked. She tilted her head. "Graphic novelist." "Starlight Chronicles," Tony smirked. "That's you?" Strange asked, stunned. Aster smiled darkly. "Hope you've heard of me." --- Strange sat stiffly on the too-short sofa in her room, still convinced of one thing: She was reckless. Manipulative. Unfit to be a mother. ------- They hated each other for different reasons - he, for the version of her he invented in his mind; she, for how arrogant and judgmental he was. But while they screamed "NO," the universe whispered, "Let's get them together." From Stars to Fate: Mr. and Mrs. Strange A story where Thanos never snapped, Loki's alive and bothering Bruce, a shy boy keeps offering cookies (which Strange keeps throwing away), tony and Rhodey want to kill strange but they can't, and how he ended up being married to a woman he thought was reckless, materialistic and unfit to be mother,

Forced into a Bratva marriage to settle a blood debt, Alina is delivered to the Reznikov estate like an offering - silent, soft-spoken, and smart enough to know that survival means obedience.
