Fic: "Sin City For Beginners" (Marvel Movieverse)

Aug 04, 2007 23:05

Well, it's tomorrow in HER timezone, so...Happy birthday to likeadeuce! I hope it's a great day, darling. :)

Extended Marvel Movieverse, specifically X-Men and Fantastic Four with a dash of offscreen Iron Man. :) That is to say, Scott Summers, Reed Richards, and special guest Tony Stark.

Thanks to sionnain and romanticalgirl for beta passes.

Hahaahha, man this is genius. GENIUS. Reed and Scott on vacation is destined to be a genre that only gets written by you and me, on each other's birthdays.

And of course Iron Man is behind everything. . .

Man, I'm afraid to start quoting all the great lines in this --

"It's a combination of several complex feminine-coded interpersonal dominance dynamics, a strong desire to maintain face in front of a rival, and the chance to go shopping bankrolled by Tony."

"Of course not, Richards, don't be crazy. Spying's what you do to your enemies. When it's your friends, it's judicious monitoring in their own best interests."

"It's probably less awkward this way."

And the argument about cultural imperialism! And Scott's many ingenious ways of figuring out how not to talk on the phone to Tony.

Perfect!

HA HA HA!!! This is extremely perfect.

I have so much love for this. SO MUCH LOVE.

They're kind of great, in their dorky heroicism. That's not a word. Oh well.

:dies:

Omg this was perfect and it is exactly like how you were telling me it would be all those weeks ago. Simply brilliant.

Poor Tony. He should've known they wouldn't do his version of fun.

I really wonder how Jean and Sue faired in Paris. With Emma. :g:

I told 'Night, I'm pretty sure he did know -- deep down. Otherwise, he would have gone with them.

Also, we decided that Tony WOULD introduce his dorky friends to Cap, who would proceed to get deeply involved in conversations about boring topics, while Tony made, "STEVE! THESE GUYS ARE NOT COOL!" hand signals.

You know they have hand signals.

Hee.

I can see Reed and Scott debating whether that tall blond muscular guy Tony's hanging with is actually Captain America's secret identity, or if Tony's just got a fetish.

"Reed, it's *Tony Stark*. He doesn't hire *imitations*."

Steve and Scott would end up talking motorcycles, while Tony and Reed drifted off into a long argument about some scientific/engineering thing no one else could understand. Hand gestures would be involved. Really expansive, stretchy hand gestures.

Oh, my GOD. The awesomeness of this fic cannot be contained!

I love the dynamic between Reed and Scott, and I especially love your Reed!
