ROSALIND LUTECE BIOSHOCK INFINITE regular sex partner and, dare i say it, friend. brilliant, captivating, beautiful pain in the ass. one of the few people in the city justified in stepping on him. past the intense physical chemistry to stephen it feels like they have a lot to say to each other, and they might actually get around to it, piece by piece.

mollymocks

MOLLYMAUK TEALEAF CRITICAL ROLE occasional sex partner and warm acquaintance, near friend. one of those people who intentionally projects complexity in a way that intrigues stephen rather than annoys him. they're two people who have come back from the dead, and stephen is actively hungry for this select company, but it's a difficult conversation to want to have with others.

HAKKYUU GUILD WARS 2 regular sex partner and friend. the first person stephen fucked in duplicity, his very first night. stephen respects his wit, sharp tongue, and confidence, as well as the fact that there's a lot going on behind those eyes that he may never see. there's rare potential here for a sincere connection between equals—difficult, for an increasingly lofty stephen strange to manage, and all the more valuable for it. it helps that the sex is 👀👌

cryfrustration

VRENILLE GUILD WARS 2 friend. they haven't had sex yet but at this point it is inevitable. stephen hangs out at vrenille's place not infrequently, like, once every two weeks at a minimum. he's a good host and an incredibly attractive person, easy to match wits with but also deliberate in a way stephen respects. and wants to muss up a little, to a lot.

JACK BENJAMIN KINGS friend. no sex yet, emphasis on yet. a young man that stephen sees a bit of himself in, in his dry wit, confidence, and classical education. a good date with good taste. stephen also knows his brain is a wasp hive and, look, it's not like he takes bats to those things often, but ...

LOKI ODINSON MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE occasional sex partner and ... uh ... enemy. stephen feels bad about having dubconned loki during tumenalia, and his mismanagement of that bad feeling is spiraling into actions and feelings that exist in a different cinematic universe than sense. he thinks loki would be untouchably desirable if the guy weren't such a jackass, which comically brings them somewhere closer to the level of equals. the fact that he thinks about loki at all, in mundane and solitary moments, is worrying.

MATT MURDOCK MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE regular sex partner and friend. easy to get along with, sexy, and painfully charming = stephen has a crush the size of the moon and would sooner die than admit it to anyone, least of himself. but normal people don't dress up like the literal devil and punch criminals, so, you know, is nothing easy?

STEPHEN STRANGE MARVEL 616 the good news is that your alternate universe self is sorcerer supreme, and if he can do it, you can too! the bad news is that he's also some kind of hyperintense socially maladjusted raccoon and his love life and social ecosystem doesn't look too promising. current senpai and the source of a lot of deeply repressed anxiety. WHY ARE YOU BOOING ME, I'M YOU!

definingfuture

TONY STARK MARVEL 616 friendly acquaintance. stephen finds him damnably charming and doesn't see why he and the other stephen aren't better friends. it's a little easier to talk to tony about his multiversal anxieties than most others, though admittedly that's a low bar to clear.

terraria

ASPEN ORIGINAL occasional sex partner and friendly acquaintance. the prettiest person in duplicity??? you tell me. the sex is real great and also real hilarious all the time; stephen welcomes the levity. with that said he's a little withholding here, because he also suspects aspen has interpersonal intuition bordering on damn near telepathy, and stephen's fort knox cosplay is a wip!!!

whatsina_name

PHILLIP DURAND ORIGINAL occasional sex partner, warm acquaintance, though with reluctance on stephen's part. he finds phillip annoying but a lot of that is him being annoyed with himself for smashing that cool teen. in actuality he cares quite a lot about phillip, recognises he's a sharp wit and wants to make sure he's looking out for himself; it's all just stymied by how stephen is mentally 1000 years old and finds it hard to connect with people who've never had to pay a mortgage.

DOOMFIST OVERWATCH DOMINANT. regular sex partner. a transactional contract made under the auspices of transparency, structured openness, and mutual benefit. outside of his own bedroom akande's penthouse is the one place stephen can relax. even the elevator ride up is a place to extricate himself from his ever-present need to remain composed. stephen's relationship with his dominant is an intensely private affair, one of his most closely guarded secrets for no reason other than his own pride. and if akande isn't all he seems, well, that's fine, neither is stephen. and if akande pushes sometimes, well within the boundaries of their contract but perhaps beyond what stephen recognises as his own limits, that's also fine. there's nothing stephen can't handle.

SHERLOCK HOLMES SHERLOCK (BBC) why is everyone me-adjacent such a weird dick? am i a weird dick? a revelatory moment by stephen strange, md, phd

lovesuwithknives

AZWEL SOUL CALIBUR new roommate. in ownership of some overpowered items to match his peculiarly overpowered self. stephen wants to know more about him and in fact isn't even fully convinced azwel isn't a danger to him directly, but god, karen, you can't just ask people their d&d alignment. and stephen refuses to let it ruin his day so we're here now i guess.

mastermagician

ASRA THE ARCANA old roommate. occasional sex partner. friend. when it was him, julian, and asra sharing a bed times were a little bit simpler, but only a very little. asra is one of very few people in duplicity that stephen unequivocally loves, like family even, with the attendant frustrations, distant worries, expectations. and a nearly unprecedented level of unconditionality, to boot.

WYNONNA EARP WYNONNA EARP regular sex partner, friend. she's gorgeous and has a dangerous destiny under her belt, two facts that stephen finds immensely appealing and intriguing. past the superficial aspects of his attraction wynonna brings out something more fun in stephen that can be difficult to come by nowadays.
