Been a long time, but hopefully this chapter is worth it. I'm reasonably certain the next chapter will be the last, but sometimes things get longer as I write, so no guarantee. I thought it was only going to be ten chapters, at one point.

Not quite a year ago I posted the first bit of this story, thinking it was a one-off vignette. 50,000+ words ( Read more... )

This story is just bloody amazingly wonderful. I so like how you write both Tony and Pepper. Well done. Very well done.

Wow! Your story is so amazingly, realistically dense! There are layers & layers & layers - to the people, to the conflicts, to the plot. I love it!

thank you! I'm happy you're still reading, and thanks for the comment.

Gah. At least they're talking to each other--and listening, at least somewhat--you have a gift for stories that sink claws deep into the heart and pull. So glad to see another chapter! They are so very them...

all Christine's reporter instincts will be champing at the bit now.

heh. Yeahhh.

Someone like Nick Furey? They know Tony is interested in Yinsen, they don't know exactly what went on in the cave; is this Furey poking Tony with a stick to get a reaction and see what happens?

huh, there's an idea! ha. I might have to steal that.

I'm getting murky impressions of deals done with the mujahideen in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation, and maybe arms and support being funnelled on behalf of the U.S. government to them (along the lines of the arms-to-Iran debacle) - after all, what better company with more impeccably patriotic credentials than Stark Industries to act as a go-between/supplier?Yeah, that. I'm convinced that Howard wasn't innocent of all this. And I so want to see that played out ( ... )

Nick Furey is outrageously cool deiseach May 19 2009, 13:07:11 UTC

Cigar-chomping gung-ho-ness and all.

S.H.I.E.L.D., though, always struck me as a problematic concept, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to hear they'd been up to various naughtinesses which they don't want any inconvenient questions about.

Ends do not justify the means, Nick.
