《Wished Away : Loki x neutral!reader》12. A Strange Visitor
Advertisement
You're sitting on the couch reading the last of A Midsummer's Night Dream and eating grapes, when an orange portal shows up and the one and only Dr. Strange walks through, urgently looking around.
"What do you need Magic Mike?" Tony asks looking away from the coffee machine to look at Strange.
"I'm investigating, something felt... off," he answers.
"Would you say it was a strange feeling?" Pietro jokes, laughing to himself.
"Oh fuck, I forgot that you're American," you exclaim. "And that fourth wall break was really uncalled for."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Strange asks. His eyes narrow, "Who even are you?"
"Aren't you supposed to know everything? You are the Sorcerer Supreme, right?" you say.
"I am but that doesn't make me some benevolent, all-knowing god," He responds.
"Understandable. I'm Y/n, I'm from a different timeline-"
"Different timeline?! That must be it! You're messing with the timeline, I can feel it."
"I'm sorry, I didn't catch a word you said. I'm still getting over your American accent. It shocks me every time," you apologize.
"Am I not American in your timeline?" Strange asks, tilting his head.
"Nope. You're British, and an actor named Benedict. He plays you in movies," you tell him. "You're kind of a fictional character."
"We'll talk about that later... there's more important things to deal with right now. How did you get here?"
"Not sure to be honest. I just kind of woke up here," you shrug.
"You just... 'woke up' here?"
"Yeah. Crazy, I know," you say, attempting to throw a grape in your mouth but missing. "Oh! You know what would be absolutely devastating to the fourth wall? If you met Everett Ross!" you exclaim.

"Who?" Strange asks.
"Not that guy again," Bucky groans. "Last time I saw him he tried to arrest me."
"Yeah, how about we avoid people that might try and arrest one of us...," Steve says.
"Fine," you pout.
"...So you just showed up, and now you're here, and where you're from we are all fictional characters?" Strange says, sounding very confused.
"Correct! Now, tell me, are you a Sherlock Holmes fan?" you ask, eating another grape.
"What does that have to do with anything?"
"Just answer the question."
"...Yes, isn't everyone?" Strange answers causing you to start hysterically laughing.
"You—I can't believe it—This is amazing," you laugh, your train of thought getting cut off by your own laughter.
Once you calm down, Sam asks, "Why is that so funny?"
"Because Benedict—Strange's actor—plays Sherlock Holmes in modern day adaptation," you answer.
"Who plays Watson?" Strange asks.
You smile. "Everett Ross' Actor."
"Is that why you wanted us to meet?"
"Yes." You eat the last of your grapes and get up to put the bowl in the sink. "Also, I just like how you live at 117A Bleecker Street, and Sherlock and John live in 221B Baker Street. One of life's little coincidences."
"Coincidences aren't usually coincidences, life is rarely so lazy," Strange mutters.
You quickly turn your head to face him. "You did not just say that. What secrets do you know?"
Strange puts his hands up in surrender. "I studied time and how it behaves, I know how coincidences work."
"That's a suspicious answer, but I'll let it slide for now," you reply.
Strange's phone rings and he picks it up. "Wong? Mhmm... What?! Okay I'll be right there," he speaks into the phone before hanging up. "I gotta blast, if anything comes to mind or if anything weird happens, call me."
Strange opens a portal and steps through, leaving you all standing around awkwardly. Slowly, everyone disperses and goes back to what they were doing previously. You had 5 pages left of the play and you were looking forward to talking about it with Loki over dinner tonight.

Alternative Reality Vol. 1
Note: Sadly, all things must come to an end and Volume 1 has been officially completed. Since I have now published the whole volume on amazon and enrolled it into KDP select, I can no longer keep the book uploaded on other platforms as per their requirements. Apologies for the inconvenience. If, by any chance, you'd like to support me there, you can find the book here: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07MRDFR7V What do you do when life‘s got you hunched on the ground, crying and screaming for your mother? When negativity and black humor is the only entertainment you‘re getting? You run away to a different world, of course! And it just so happened that one such world was available and open for the downtrodden and distraught. Alternative Reality - a virtual reality platform with a suspiciously unoriginal name, already established as the most life-like experience one could spend their time on and Luke had plenty of time to spare. Now? He’s more than just Luke, the social outcast. Now, he’s also Wail - a lunatic magician who plays with fire without the mental aptitude or sense of responsibility necessary to safely handle it. Add in a petty and spiteful character and the conditions for mayhem are fully satisfied. Join now and witness his adventures, while the world around burns with more than a bit of fault falling upon his downward sloping shoulders. Disclaimer! The book contains morally ambiguous choices, violence, arson, vandalism, unnecessarily satirical portrayal of religious zealotry, profanity, background forced labor that looms dangerously close to slavery and much, much more.

To live is to Dream (LitRPG; First Draft)
A new Power has come into the World and seeks to change it. Being on the last dregs of sanity and full of alcohol Daniel West receives an opportunity to seek revenge. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To live is to Dream is the second book of the Just a Dream series. You do not have to read the first to enjoy the second, but there will be recurring characters along the line. The first book features Mir, a man that dislikes how his current world appears and hence wants to change it. The second book will feature other people and how the changes implemented by Mir affect their lives. For those interested in my first book, it's easy to find it. Just beware that with the first book, it was my first time writing and there are a lot of grammar errors despite lots of editing, at least at the beginning of the book. The cover was done by Lmarief. I had requested something bizarre and she delivered. I have even used it as part of the story since her interpretation of my imagination was a bit different. Still, I loved it. As a thank you gift, I posted a link to her profile here for others who want a unique cover. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/220043
