IRON MAN rec(s): Four Times Pepper Considered Quitting and the One Time She Did

Apparently IRON MAN movieverse is the hip new fandom. People are writing it like crazy. And a lot of it's quite good. Most of the stuff out there is Tony/Pepper of some variety, but there is variety: gen to romance, with even the non-romantic fic focusing on their relationship dynamic and, to some degree, UST, with banter a-plenty (see, for example, "Coming out of His Shell" by confusedkayt or seren_ccd's "Spicy"). There are some other nifty things out there as well; left_arrow wrote me a quick Pepper-and-Alfred crossover with BATMAN BEGINS (yay!), and bacchae23 wrote a flawed but earnest attempt at Yinsen fic.

And there are the things that just make me go "oh, fandom" in various tones. Such as the earnest, wishful request for "REALLY fluffy fics for a poor fan girl": "could someone do a Pepper/Tony fic that had them... have children? A little boy would be really cute..I just thought that Mr. Stark would be the best dad (Not including the whole drinking, womanizing thing)"

Well, yes, *not including that.*

(Seriously, people. Equal parts *facepalm* and *adorable.* I am half inclined to try writing it for her.)

But there are seriously good fics out there, so if you're looking for something new, check 'em out. Such as "Four Times Pepper Considered Quitting and the One Time She Did," by seren_ccd. *points to fic* Yes, that.

(Don't forget: OH JOHN RINGO NO, the T-shirt, benefitting the Helen Bamber Foundation!)
