Oh, look, I'm back with more thinky thoughts

So I've been thinking, in the course of plotting out what began as an X-Men movies AU and then morphed into a Marvel movieverse AU (no, seriously, it's mostly Avengers and X-Men, but Spiderman and Fantastic Four will probably cameo and I'll even give a shoutout to Daredevil if the opportunity hits). It really, really sucks to be one of the support

the sidelines - I can see how it wouldn't be good for the stress levels (even when he's exasperating, Pepper probably would rather Tony argue with her, than her wondering if he's alive or dead (it may've been pre-relationship, but I think she held that opinion even when Tony was in Afghanistan))

"Oh its no picnic for me either. Some days I just walk from here to there and back again." -Bob, in the Dresden Files ep 'Bad Blood'.
(Bob at least gets taken off the sidelines from time to time, moderating the effect)

the story idea -- it has great potential. though it would have to be a relative of someone promiment in Xavier's - if the school janitor is her only surviving relative, would she still be admissible? (then again, knowing Xavier...). Downside is that there may be Mutant kids who try to bully her (the shoe being on the other foot, and Xavier's being a place where she is the minority). even without the bullying or teasing, there would be a definate sense of You Are Different in the back of her mind. (and since all her experience is in interacting with Mutants her own age and other ages, she might (at least initially) have difficulty adjusting to non-Mutant society).

makes the perfect pot of coffee/tea.

>seeing as they've never met.
I don't see how that's an obstacle to shipping.

And my Pepper will eventually have it even worse since my eventual ship plan is for Pepper/Steve/Tony. I'm an OT3 sucker, I have them and Clint/Coulson/Natasha planned. And Raven/Azazel/Riptide as well as one more from the X-Men side of things. So she sits there watching two people.

Oh, it's someone prominent. Jean Grey, was my plan. Which makes things rough once we get into film canon even though I will be AUing that. Some to slot in my different mutant villains and other characters, some because with X3 I felt the cure and Phoenix did not work as a meshed storyline, so I'm separating them.

*snicker* That is a highly useful power, just not for fighting. Unless one poisoned the drink.

No, it's not precisely an obstacle, but the lack of meeting means I am surprised at the strength of my love for them. :)
