[magicasen.livejournal.com]

Title: Belief Space (2/2 - Complete)
Author: magicasen
Universe: 616
Pairings/Characters: Steve Rogers/Tony Stark, the Illuminati, assorted others
Rating: Teen
Warnings: Please see endnotes (note: they're spoilery). There's nothing too big, though.
Word Count: ~44,000 this chapter, ~60,000 for the entire fic
Beta Reader: iloome
A/N: This is a canon divergence, so familiarity with Hickman's current run on Avengers (vol 5), New Avengers (vol 3), and the Infinity event is recommended. No canon published past New Avengers #12 is used.

Summary: The Time Gem appears not when it is wanted, but when it is needed. Steve learns this the hard way.

(Or: an Infinity #6 AU where Thane refuses his birthright and the Avengers are doomed - until the Time Gem shows up within Captain America's grasp.)
