Day 13
In your own space, write about a moment in fandom that meant a lot to you. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.
A moment in fandom... I mean, there's so many different moments with (surprise, surprise) Tony Stark. But I have to say, the one sticking out to me most is Tony, holding Rhodey on that ground.
If there's one thing I love, more than anything else, it's the family aspect of Tony and Rhodey. It's the way Tony yells at Ant-Man to 'let go of my Rhodey' - it's the way that Rhodey hugged Tony tight to his chest after finding him in that desert. It's the way that Tony and Rhodey stood back-to-back to defeat those drones; the way that they interacted with each other in just a few glances at the congressional hearing. And so to see, in Captain America: Winter Soldier, Rhodey plummeting to the ground, Tony trying to pour on speed to catch him before he hit, Sam also heading for Rhodey, both of them loving this powerful, dedicated man who stood by his convictions.
That one moment - Tony hitting Sam in the gut, dropping him, huddled over Rhodey's still, silent form, staring out into nothing, realizing how much he could lose right now...
I love Tony Stark. I never loved him more than in that moment. That moment is the biggest out of - out of every MCU movie, every moment. That one stands the clearest and brightest in my mind.
