I've been reading all of the chapters you've written over the two days on my spare time, and goddamn, must I praise you for being so unbelievably good in writing Stark/Wayne! <3
- I mean, I didn't really feel for this pairing 'til I read one fick like some months ago, and just noticed you had the latest chapter up in darknightfic. I was so scared this wouldn't be worth it ( because hey, let's face it, I don't think everyone can write about Tony and Bruce the way they actually are... at least in my head... ), but oh dear, I'm glad I read the first chapter, been hooked up ever since!

And I'm the kind of fic reader who usually doesn't get her hands on to anything else than NC-17, but sweet lord, you guys sure can get the mood on in your fics without having all the rough sex up there. You really can actually write about the pairing and not just the sex - or whatever there might be between a pairing - which makes me even more happy that seems you guys will still keep on writing this ( seeing that the chapters are right now 10/?. I love question marks :> ) <3

All in all, this rambling is supposed to praise you from the groung to the skies - I'll be hovering over and waiting for more enthusiastically!

<33333333!

I just love comments, since we don't seem to get many (and yet still keep posting somehow). I suppose their is no going back when we have 24 (so far) chapters done. We don't honestly know how many there will be. We talk about how to end it and then something else comes about and we're like, naaaah. (suppose it doesn't help that we RP with them on twitter either).

I'll admit there are times we just... fail at details and such, but its really more of the dialogue that makes it for these two. Especially in the next few coming chapter, where we could have added more, but its really just the situations and not really trying play out too many characters. Its Tony and Bruce, not Tony/Bruce and and bunch of other people that no one is here to read about. so a lot of things get vague, but hopefully everyone will forgive us and just enjoy it for what it is.

I'm glad you're enjoying it! Chapter Eleven will be up Christmas Eve (as its the Christmas piece we wrote!)

And I don't understand why people don't comment. Is that implying people don't read this gorgeus fic? ...8/ Because that's a real sin. I want to read mooreeee....
- Oh my dear, you have no idea how happy it made me to hear that <333 24 chapters! At least fourteen chapters more of this damn awesomeness!! <3333333333333 This must be a way that something is paying me back for the shit I've been through :P I'm liking it, <3
RPing... in Twitter... with Tony... and Bruce... That'd be a sight to see, *squeal* <3

I think you've done such a great job with these chapters, and I just can't love you guys more for not hopping over things like they never happened ( for example the kidnapping that happened in Malibu - I would've so screamed in anger if you guys would've just ignored it in the next chapter, since, believe me, some people do that. argh. ). I feel like I'm reading a book here, and little details, such as Pepper's unique nature etc pop out and make the best atmosphere for me ( and I seriously need to gongratulate you for making Pepper seem so much like she is in these chapters <3 ).
I think you've succeeded in making Tony and Bruce seem like they have other things to do than for example fucking each others brains out, and it does not irritate me at all that there are people in it that sort of shouldn't be here if this is a pairing fic. I love how for example Lucius is there and all :3

Aw man, then I'll be read it on the 26th, since I'm going away for three days, starting from the 24th 3< Oh well, then I'll just have a little something waiting for me when I get back <3

I wouldn't quite call it RP on Twitter, they dont out right do anything, they use it like twitter should be used (most of the time, give or take a few interactions with other RPers who've found us). It's a lot of banter, brooding, fighting, arguing and what can be assumed as make-up sex. hilarious if nothing else.

I will say what I mean by touching on other comic related characters and not giving them too much or just hopping over them a bit, really shows in the coming chapters (starts at twelve I believe) where we touch on the whole Civil War events of the Marvel Universe. We didn't quite flesh out some characters as much as we should have. But as you said, its a pairing fic, there really isn't a need to drag out what isn't adding to the fic, which is what we thought when we did it.

We had a lot of chances to just make every chapter NC-17 rated, but we stopped ourselves because that's not what we wanted this to be. We wanted this to be a variety of crack, romance, relationship, family and angst, etc... not just one genre that people would get bored with quick.

This could easily be a book. Calculated the word count today and we're at 110,000 words. And who knows when we'll be done.

Well happy holidays! And you'll have a nice gift of fic when you get back! :)

Hilarious, indeed, since I'm already smirking at the idea of the two of them to be on Twitter messing around... <3

I'll be waiting for the upcoming chapters, what I've read until now shows me that you clearly do a great job, and I have no doubts that someone would be left too vague in the upcoming chapters :)
- That was the best solution, in my opinion, since you've written so much. It would get boring if in every chapter they'd be all around theirselves doing nothing more but fucking.

Holy shit, that's a lot! A big applause is in order n.n
- Thanks, and merry Christmas for you too!
