Alex51324 Summary: In which Tony Stark ditches a boring party, makes an addition to the household staff, throws a much better party, and tries not to sexually harass his new butler.
Or,In which Thomas Barrow has a little trouble getting home from the pub, is generally unimpressed with many aspects of the 21st century, never thought of himself as a conservative dresser before, and may or may not be falling in lust with his new employer.
tl:dr: Thanks to time travel, Thomas Barrow becomes the Avengers' butler.
Review: I started to read this and couldn't put it down. I ended up reading it all in one day.
I love Thomas' point of view on the 21st century, and how the story focused on the adjustment period for both Thomas and Tony. I love Jarvis in this. He might not be on of the main characters but you definitely get a real feel his sarcastic wit and how he manages his butlering duty.
