OMG, your icon. So excellent.

And thank you! I read a few speeches before I sat down to write this, and I was really hoping this would read like one of them; I'm hugely pleased it worked for you. :D

[jwaneeta]

That was beautiful. Moving and elegantly written. Well done!

[atrata]

Thank you so much!

Basking in the awesomeness that is Tony Stark. You completely captured his voice, and I can definitely see RDJ delivering this speech.

Well done!

[atrata]

Yay! That's totally what I was going for, so I'm really glad it worked. Thanks for reading! :D

This. Was. Awesome. Actually, all three of your speeches were. I just am incapable of truly expression how awesome they were.

I love how tight and focused Tony is here: his single-minded need to get across what he's had to realize, and at such cost. Most of all, Tony's sense of responsibility for what's happened in the past and, by extension, what happens in the present and the future makes me go Gaaaaah and clutch ineffectually at my heart, but in a totally good way.

[atrata]

Yeah, I think the sense of responsibility he feels is pretty clear in that scene he does with Pepper... like, he's an irreverent ass most of the time, but this is something he takes seriously. So I'm really glad that I managed to convey it in his speech. Thanks very much for reading! :D
