In the Light Between the Lines

Tony and Nebula are stranded on an alien planet with no viable means of escape. In order to get back to Earth before running out of resources, they must build a new ship from a total wreck (which is also an apt description of Tony's mental state at the moment) and find some way to track down and defeat Thanos once and for all.Back on Earth, Shuri makes a discovery. It seems that the Infinity Gauntlet has destroyed more than just lifeforms. With two planets in the Solar System unaccounted for and the possibility of accelerated heat death on a universal scale, time is not on anyone's side. Meanwhile, Steve, Rhodey, and Natasha struggle to cope with their personal losses while coming up with a plan.In the dimly-lit and ever-shifting limbo dimension ruled by the Soul Stone, Gamora, T'Challa, both Peters, Sam, Bucky, Wanda, and everyone else killed by or for the Infinity Stones must fight their way across a foreboding plain of existence to reach a portal to Earth opened by Loki during his last confrontation with Thanos. Which, of course, was Loki's plan all along.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own these characters. If I did, they'd still be alive. That having been said, this story contains HUGE SPOILERS for Infinity War Part 1! I'm talking spoilers so big they could almost fill all the plot holes this story will contain. *ahem* THAT having been said, as of now I've only seen IW once (boo!), and I suck at writing 80% of these characters (and am probably not much better at writing the other 20%) so I apologize in advance if I fuck up everything and remember nothing. Feel free to correct my blatant disregard for continuity if you want! Anyway, if even one person enjoys reading this absolute dumpster fire of a fic, then my work here is done. As always, big love to my Marvel family! I'll see y'all in therapy.
