Why I Will Probably End Up Writing Iron Man Fic, by Naina, age 32.
There is a decided lack of Tony/Rhodey in the Iron Man fandom. Whatever the reason(s) may be, I think that is a crying shame. So I've jotted down some of my thoughts to see if anything will coalesce, and I'd be very, very happy if any comments were made.
Set in the movieverse, for one thing. I paged through a few of the comics in a used bookstore the other day and was still snickering an hour later.
NO Tony/Pepper. Yeah, they were cute and flirty. But any pairing that comes to be dubbed something as nauseatingly precious as 'Pepperony'... I just want no part of it.
Tony Stark in all his obnoxious, redefining-genius, alcoholic glory. I want to see his issues and his demons. I want to know how he realized the palladium was killing him, and his reaction to that. I want to see one of the military guys asking "what the hell is in Mr. Stark's chest?" and the gigantic kerfuffle that ensues, because you KNOW they'll think it's a bomb. And, god, what if they want to get an MRI or CT scan?
The mini arc reactor. Yeah, it looks kinda like an electronic Brita filter, but it's also disturbingly sexy. It keeps the barbs away from his heart, yeah, but what about other parts of his body, like his lungs? Or his spinal cord?
Apparently, I'm a sucker for a guy with a mini-ARC reactor keeping him alive. Who knew?
