Notes - the long version
"It is to be called Never give all the heart, and it is a fusion in which Mark Zuckerberg is Iron Man and Eduardo Saverin is Spiderman. And it is meant to be half cracky and half serious and... this is just idek." Clearly I would never have finished this story if not for
forochel,
illuvium and
yay_box, whose responses to this fell neatly in the category of 'YES DO IT', for which I am very grateful. ♥ Huge thanks also to
crosshair for fanning the flames of my TSN feels, and my housemate KY (who probably won't read this) for going HOMG every time I told her the word count (until she realised that I wasn't... anywhere near finishing it).
Geeky things - I very much based Mark's tech off of the Marvel Cinematic Universe version of things; chronologically speaking, this would probably take place around a similar period as Iron Man 2, although clearly the fact that Mark is Mark and not Tony Stark means that things unfolded very differently. Also, the speed at which Mark develops his Iron Man suits is definitely not at Tony Stark levels, so in my mind the older suits (Mark III, for example) were a lot less spiffy than Tony's. On the other hand, I did borrow some elements of the comic-versions of characters like Justin Hammer, so it's all pretty mixed. Specs for Eduardo's new suit from Tony Stark's redesign in The Amazing Spider-man #529, beautifully giffed
here.
I owe a huge debt to all the amazing fic that already exists in TSN fandom - particularly the incredible fandom staple that is
Boy Falls From The Sky, because I suspect that everyone who has read that amazing fic has a bit of a headcanon for Spiderwardo already. Also, people on Tumblr who do those little gif fusions of Iron Man and Spiderman are my favourite people ever - in a fit of frivolity I
made one too (gifs not mine).
Music & inspiration - in addition to the mix above, I listened to the Iron Man soundtrack (which is ACE, I highly recommend it) and
tracks by The Glitch Mob. I also watched these fanvids:
TSN 'We Are Young',
'We Used to Be Friends' far too many times. They're pretty great. And THIS:
Justin Hammer + Can't Touch This. Best thing ever, hands down. I loved writing Justin Hammer and only wish he'd appeared more.
Writing this fic has made me hopelessly pumped for The Amazing Spider-Man. Perhaps this is a good thing?
