Title: Metamorphosis
Author: [personal profile] jordannamorgan
Archive Rights: Please request the author’s consent.
Rating/Warnings: Mild PG.
Characters: Christine, Stephen, Wong.
Setting: Sometime after Doctor Strange.
Summary: Christine could appreciate better than anyone what Stephen became, because she knew what he had been.
Disclaimer: They belong to Marvel. I’m just playing with them.
Notes: I wrote most of this story in 2017. In the years since I have soured on the MCU’s direction, but I still have a soft spot for Doctor Strange. In 2022 I was inspired to finish this after a rewatch of his original solo film, but somehow it took me another ten months to finalize and post it.
This fic fills the prompt “The Cost of Magic” at [community profile] genprompt_bingo. Over the course of the movie, Stephen’s character arc from self-centeredness to self-sacrifice is really an amazing thing to behold. Christine’s perspective is ideal for examining just how dramatic that change is, considering she never got to see the actual steps of that long process.

It was a summons that made Doctor Christine Palmer’s heart jump every time. )
