Ahh! You break my heart. This chapter was amazing!! Poor Pepper. T_T

[subterrain]

It had to happen! & I will make it up to you, I promise. :(

[compactstars]

I trust you. :(

Also. I looove your layout. It makes me want to watch the movie again and again and again.

Wow.

Fracking amazing. I don't know how you do it. The emotional ride through it is clean, smooth. The snatches of humour here and there are a great way of breaking the tension before it builds to be too much.

Really liked Rhodes' reaction at the end there. Very realistic.

Favourite lines:

He’s dimly aware that it must be weird for people that he’s even in the building - he’s never once before been to the complex without Stark himself - like an amputated limb jerking around on its own, leaking blood and turning grey.

It’s like watching a 60s sitcom, Stane even pauses to pretend to wipe a tear out of his eye. What a sociopath.

“Play us some tunes, Jarvis,” he says, and Jarvis breaks out the Al Green before Pepper threatens to switch him off permanently.

(Oh, and if you're interested, my fic is up.)

omg, am at work so I can't even begin to tell you how AWESOME you are. Oh, Pepper! So sweaty and gorgeous even Tony can't resist him. You've got him just spot-on.

I also totally realized that I did an inadvertent shout-out to his expensive watch in my most recent bit - had you written this by then? Or are we just on the same tony-pepper-brainwave?

I am totally compiling another post tonight, and I will link everyone - you should also def post this at the pepperony and starkindustries comms.

sfkjlasdfaksdf, Julia, you are my FAVOURITE.

I think my head exploded.

*pieces it back together*

Thank you. ^_^ There I go, emoticoning. You know I'm lost for words when...

I wrote the scene last night, actually. I - er - couldn't wait for your reply to my permission of ficing them like that, so I wrote it and promised myself that I would NOT post until you gave your OK. I spent about an hour researching watches, going, hmm, oh, this one is nice. I was thinking of putting him in an Omega, but the Breitling is just too sexy.

Thank you for the comm names, I definitely will!

(I'm so glad you liked the fic. It's not really my best, but it was just too hot of a pairing to resist. Thank you!)

[featherjournals]

You also know I'm lost for words when...

It's supposed to say: couldn't wait for your reply to my comment asking for your permission, etc..

[subterrain]

Ha, well I'm glad you clicked despite the obviousness of the crazy.

And the real slash is coming, don't you worry. I'm all for the long build-up, but I will deliver.

[revolutionaryjo]

I am really loving this! Can't wait to read more.

[subterrain]

Thanks!
