I guess it would be a bit disturbing to have all the AIs and robots in the house being so knowing. Tony's matter-of-factness amuses me-of course he sees no problem, he made them, lives with them...and he's kind of not right in the head, lol.

Well, Rhodey, what are you waiting for? Get in there, man! ;D

Thank you, hon. It's funny and sassy. \0/

I know I'd be bothered by it-- especially by Jarvis, who is everywhere and always "on". :0

Even though Rhodey is also a scientist himself, those are not his own creations, and any sign of excessive interest on their part has got to be disturbing. Hey, there are people who don't like their pets in the room during those intimate times, let alone things with potentially fewer "boundaries."

Well, I'm so glad you liked it! "Sassy" is exactly what I would have hoped for.

Many happy, belated returns! \o/

Oh that was so damn cute and inventive. (& I bet you don't need reprogramming either) Yeah, I'd feel a little weirded out is a robot bought me & mine a tube of lube. Either that or I would think that he wanted in on the action, again weird. But I loved the fic and your Tony's reaction to his creation's inventiveness and interactions. They all love their Tony 8D
Thank you for sharing this one, it was just a real smile maker

Oh, your words were like music! This was such fun to write, and it kind of started itself and then had to wait for feedback from the birthday girl as to whether it could go slashy or not. Butterfingers' offering of lube is more fun (and perhaps more worrisome) than, say, a bottle of beer.

I get such a kick out of Tony's interaction with his robots, including (or even especially) when he insults the poor things.

It all worked in Rhodey's favor, though, didn't it? After an unsettling little detour through the question of exactly how much initiative Butterfingers took, and what that might mean in the larger sense. :0

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I think that Tony's pervertedness has finally been rubbed off onto his robots. That's kinda creepy. Makes me wonder if JARVIS doesn't show off 'home movies' of Tony to the other bots?

Anyway, this is a interesting ficlet.

Sorry, I didn't comment sooner.

Could be! Or that they're learning, based on past actions, what some of the possible (predictable) futures are.

But creepy is right, when it looks as if they're trying to egg Tony and Rhodey on. Tony is far too blase about his robots, so he hardly even notices. :0

Thanks for making the return trip to comment!

They are sooo in-character! You're just awesome, you know that? :)

I'm so glad you enjoyed this! The two of them are such fun together, and I still firmly have Rhodey 1.0 in my mind for all of these. Darn the recasting of his character! :D

I know! I was so sad to see Terence Howard replaced :( I like Don Cheadle, but still... To me, Old Rhodey will always be the REAL Rhodey :)
