I am always AMAZED by your deft use of second person. So difficult! This was lovely, and I don't usually go for threesomes (because I was raised by Disney and OMG ONE TRUE LOVE) but I really enjoyed this and could see it working. Tony would be the kind of person to need TWO people to take care of him.
My favorite lol moment was Tony's description of Reed and his space bullshit (seriously, I agree with you, Tony).
Favorite lines:
- He’s combative, pissed off, and yeah you were poking at him with words, little catches and snide turns of phrase, but that’s practically how you shake hands, isn’t it?
- Your latest scandal is boring. A few models and a hint of drug abuse. Blah blah blah, sounds like a Tuesday.
- (You privatized world peace, you think to yourself with an eye roll. That’s hardly socialist behavior. Not that they could even define socialism if you left them in a room with Robert Owen.)
- You save his goddamn life, and then he shouts at you about it, but he also has his hand on your bare, bloody shoulder like he can’t bring himself to let go. It hurts, because it’s kind of maybe dislocated, but.
You take what you can get, as always. You’re greedy like that, after all. [SQUISH TONY]
- which as that show with the gay brothers and the gay angel and that awesome car said, isn’t a porno. [!!! Tony watches Supernatural!]
- You have better things to think about, like whether or not you can start a lobbying group devoted solely to having Pluto reinstated as a planet. [It's important!]
- You feel safe between them. It’s entirely ridiculous, but here, in the middle of a paparazzi blitz, you finally relax.
- He’s calm and supportive, and you want to set him on fire for it. Just a little.
Couple of (nitpicky) things: - It’s Fox News, and they haven’t liked him since he returned from Afghanistan and, in their eyes, turned liberal.
- (Technically, it hasn’t ended, because she’s still his friend and she runs his company and sometimes they go get drunk together and do the beast with two backs, but only sometimes.) These aren't in second person. Is that on purpose?
- Sex with Pepper is a natural high. Pepper breaking up with you is [the] worst crash
- You’ve always done your own thing, and no[one] matter how much people whine and groan and, yes, shout about it, one ever stops you when it comes down to it. [As a side-note, this is also a favorite line of mine, because it's TRUE and it demonstrates exactly what Steve brings to the relationship in that he's one of the few people who can get Tony to STOP.]
- “How so?” you ask. You wish you could snatch the words back; they reveal to[o] much, you think.
- After a few minutes of silent watching, you’re starting to have PTSD flashbacks to that time you pissed Rhodey off and he convinced JARVIS to play that movie with the sparking vampires nonstop for three days on every system you owned. It was hell. [First of all: LOL; second of all, "sparkling" instead of "sparking"? This one might just be your word choice and not a typo.]
- Reed[ s ] is the first smartest, which still stings a bit.
