Oh this is achingly beautiful. Poor Bruce, getting his hopes up and then having them dashed. I hurt for him so badly through this. I love that Tony understands him so well, and trusts him, which is something Bruce needs - to be trusted.

I would love if you continued this.

[_samalander]

Thank you! I love the Tony/Bruce friendship so much.

I'm not sure what shape a continuation would take, but I will think about it. :)

Oh this was lovely. I kinda love that Bruce is rooting for Loki to get better because on some level he can relate. I love his talks with Clint, Thor and especially Tony.

[_samalander]

Thank you so much! Bruce's line in the movie, about rooting for Loki, has always stood out to me, and it wasn't until I started writing this that I really got why he said it.

Oh, that's lovely and sad. *cuddles Bruce* I really like the way his interactions with the others work here.

Thor grinned, thumped Bruce on the shoulder and went on his way up the stairs, assumingly to find someone else who wasn’t Bruce to help with his stupid magic. - did you mean "presumably"?

[_samalander]

Thank you!

..yes, yes I did. I generally try to use words that, you know, exist. :p

[hsavinien]

I figured. ^_^
