Oh, this was fantastic. You write everyone here so well, and I especially enjoyed the Natasha/Pepper in the background. Awesome job! :D

[illezabeth]

Thank you ^_^
I was little nervous about the characterisations, particularly Tony's because I've not read the comics so I've only the movies to go on, but I'm glad they seem to have come across well.
(There may be a companion piece revolving around Nat/Pepper as my beta has become rather taken with the idea)

YES!!!

Hi! Prompt writer here! Thank you so much for writing this! This was better than I dreamt I might ever receive! First off, if I had included more details in my prompt, I definitely would have said "Please talk about Bruce's hair, and also about feathered dinosaurs, my two favorite things in the universe". So thank you for reading my mind

Thank you!

Wow, how do I reply to this? I guess firstly, I just have to comment on our apparent compatibility - because Bruce's hair (a man called Ruffalo, to have that hair, it's beautiful) and feathered dinosaurs are both incredibly awesome.

I'm glad the first two worked, I was worried that it might be a bit of a cop-out, but I just couldn't help but see this when I was watching the movie, especially the last one.

I'm surprised, and glad, you liked my Stark so much, I wrote and re-wrote him and I'm still not happy with his voice in my head (hence why I have already edited this story lol). I'm happy the work payed off!

The dialogue thing is something I always try and work at, I hate reading unrealistic dialogue so it's always my first thought. I do sometimes neglect the prose though XD.

I'm so pleased that it was all you wanted, and thank you for the inspired prompt :)

Loved this! So cute and funny. Made me fall in love with Bruce all over again ...

[illezabeth]

Thank you I'm glad you liked ^__^
How can you fall OUT of love with Bruce?

[merlenhiver]

Don't worry, I never did. :P Your story just reminded me of all the reasons why I love him. :-) *needs a Bruce/Tony icon*

[illezabeth]

Ok, that's more understandable :D

*needs one too* If I had the time I'd try making one, or at least would try trawling through the web to find one someone else had made as I have no talent for it

Grinning, all the way through. :D

[illezabeth]

Thank you :D

This is fantastic.

You win because feathered dinosaurs. And your Tony voice. And Pepper. And the sexy napkins. And the whiskey and Tony's ridiculous babbling. And the bits from the movie and the bumper sticker.

I would love a sequel where someone accidentally makes Tony jealous, or a prequel where Darcy gave Jane that bumper sticker.

I do seem to have got a few kudos for the feathered dinosaurs lol, but I just couldn't see Bruce NOT being into dinosaurs when he was a kid :D.
Haha don't get me started on sequels, I'll have a whole fanfic universe done by the end of it!
I'm glad you liked it ^__^ Thank you for the comment
