FIC: off the record (off the map), tony, pepper, G

Jun 02, 2008 11:11

Series: Iron Man
Rating: G
Disclaimer: Oh, Marvel. Remember that time you had Ultron turn Tony Stark into a girl? Why do I even bother writing fanfic for you?
Notes: FIC? TWO WEEKS IN A ROW? WEIRD. This'd be me trying to figure out the characters, mostly. But I ended up liking it enough that I'm okay with other people seeing it too.
Warnings: ( Read more... )

fic, marvel, oh whatever tony stark

I really like this.

Yay! I'm glad. :)

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH

Seriously, all of it. Midwestern hijinks! Shoe switching! Pepper being so absolutely and perfectly Pepper! Happy being precious. And, jeez, you write a really awesome Tony. He's all quippy and sort of dark and twisty but still essentially a THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOY. dfgtrhrtht ♥ ♥

Dude. I will not quote all my favorite lines back at you because that would be annoying! But still.

I am totally delighted by this comment! Especially at having my THIRTEEN YEAR OLD BOY Tony (i know! i know! he so totally is!) validated. Thaaaaaank you! ♥

*twirls you* Thank you, darling! I'm glad to write fic for which you actually know the canon too.

Oh, I loved this. So many little bits - from Pepper being too observant, to Happy and his doe-eyes, to Tony trying, really trying, in his own special way to be better than he was before. This was perfect.

I'm so glad you liked! That bit about Tony, especially, given that that was my thematic statement and what-not, and I wasn't sure how well it came across. :D

> That somewhere deep-down there is a Tony Stark (Mach I) who's been covered up by well-tailored suits and a profound self-awareness of exactly how clever and charming he can be but in that deep-down place, he is otherwise a basically normal, decent person, trying to make something great out of himself and the world around him ( ... )

Man, thank you so much! I am really happy that you liked it! Especially that you liked my bookending with the idea of Pepper's tell-all book. I like doing that kind of reoccuring idea, and it makes me happy when other people like it too!

he really does want to be (seen as) a good person . . . to in fact DO good in the world

Both movieverse and comicverse played with the idea of redemption, so I wanted to too! But in a slightly more subtle, awkward way? :D
