Sigh. I love reading fics about these two restraining themselves, but at the same time...all this tension is gonna make me explode. This is lovely.

Hee, yeah, I totally know what you mean. This is my way of getting around it! There's porn! Just, you know, not real porn. Anyway, glad you liked it. :D

*flail* OMG SEXUAL DAYDREAM FIC = BEST THING EVER

The whole time I was basically shouting, *find the right time and kiss her TONY OMFG*

*sigh*

I really like the way you write these two.

[atrata]

Ha. Thank you! This is, I think, the closest I could come to getting them into bed without spending 50,000 words doing it. It was making me CRAZY. Glad you enjoyed. :)

Mmm, that was hot and awesome and also kinda makes me whimper cuz I want them to actually have sex. ;) But oooh, the image of Pepper jerking Tony off at the dinner table during a business meeting? Yum. Loved the tone of this, too, the way they dance around each other and around their feelings, going about their day to day life and work normally while at the same time imagining what it'd be like to be together. And lol, yeah, I can see how the tenses in this would've been hell to write - but you pulled it off very well. :)

I want them to actually have sex, too! I just... can't quite pull it off and buy it. But not writing porn was driving me nuts, so I compromised. I'm glad you liked the results. *grin*

Oh, the ending. You totally nailed it. That fifth one is probably my favorite because I'm a huge sap. I loved this, the structure and everything really worked well together.

[atrata]

Thank you so much! :D

So, that was insanely hot, but heartbreaking at the same time. You got a really good balance going here and it was majorly awesome to read, seriously :D

And, the fourth bit almost made me cry. Not gonna lie.

[atrata]

Yes, hot and heartbreaking. Exactly what I was going for, so yay! Also, as sappy as I can manage. Thanks so much for reading!
