Can I have one, just one fic where instead of Tony breaking up with Pepper because he has hot hot chemistry with Steve and her being okay with that or pushed off to the side, Tony breaks up with Steve because he realizes Pepper really is the one for him and he and Steve go back to just being bros? Of course I can't, because that would get in the

So much <3 for this. I kind of started shipping Tony/Pepper maybe halfway into the first Iron Man, was THRILLED to discover they made it canon when I finally got around to watching the second one, but then akatonbo had seen further ahead in the Marvelverse movies than I had, and had been reading the fanfic before seeing the movies, and was all about Tony/Steve. So I finally got around to watching The Avengers... last week? Week before? I forget. But... I just don't see Tony/Steve at all. I could get behind Tony/Bruce, sorta, if I didn't like Tony/Pepper so darned much. But even if I didn't, I just don't get why Tony/Steve is apparently the slash pairing of choice here. O_o

" (The other main reason: just by what I've seen of the fandom, it treats Loki just like HP fandom treated Draco"

I wasn't in HP fandom at all (spent far too many years reading the books to the kids) - so would you feel comfortable filling me in? (via PM is okay if you'd prefer.) What did HP do with Draco?

Draco in leather pants! Basically he became the fandom darling and everything bad he did was because of his upbringing. They woobie-d him and turned him into a lovable bad boy instead of a self-absorbed snobby bully.

*nods* I thought it might be something like that.

(There were so many ships in HP fandom that made me go O.o that ... well, it's another fandom I've stayed away from.)

Long time no see! :D

Yeah, I don't like woobie Loki, one of the reasons I like him is because of how amoral he can be.
