First of all: chi fic *flails* I have a love of ur writing...always have.

Second of all: this is quiet...nothing too flashy & yet so solid & right.

ALSO. BRUCE & PEPPER LOVE. I adore it. Srsly. & it had never entered my mind until 30 seconds ago.

Third: I enjoyed this. :)

Fourth: Tony/Pepper love & Darktiemz Abt Which We Are Not Speaking. I like how u handled that.

I'm all about platonic relationships these days -- and how can they have depth and meaning and color our world in various ways. One of the nice things about this series has been exploring that.

oooh! This is part of what drew me to Jane By Design...Billy & Jane r bffs, have been since they were 8 & it wasn't filled with UST...just gooey bff goodness & love & joy & day saving. & then UST. Which kind of messed with my head a bit but I'm over it now. Point being: platonic boy/girl can be a BEAUTIFUL thing. Series, u say? There's more? *izhopeful*

So sweet - I loved the conversation between Pepper and Bruce, and how Bruce is trying to be all noble and Pepper just shoots him down. They're both just so good, aren't they?

[ladychi]

They really are. Annnd I love that about both of them. I'm so glad you enjoyed this. Thank you for commenting!

Flailing with love, here. Bruce was spot on perfection.

Thank you, darling!

Oh, that was lovely. I really enjoyed this. You write a lovely Pepper, and I love her conversation with Bruce. Kudos! Also? YAY AVENGERS FIC. *ahem*

I've been ALL ABOUT the Avengers here lately. It's kinda been all-consuming. I doubt this is the last Avengers fic you see from me.

Thanks for commenting! It was good to hear from you!

I wanted to post a very thinky comment about Pepper and how your portrayal of her dovetails with certain thoughts I've been having about various aspects of womanhood in the 21st century West.

But those are big thoughts, and they're still works in progress (though I should probably post about them) and ultimately what I want to let you know is: I really enjoyed this.

[ladychi]

I'd be very curious to hear your Thoughts, even if they're in the nebulous stage, because thoughts of that nature always interest me...

but I'm so glad you took the time to comment and let me know you enjoyed this! Thanks!
