Prince Anthony, First of His Name, Protector of the Kingdom, Creator of Miracles, the Iron Knight.

Tony had always been interested in many things. Though he had perfected the art of fencing and swordmanship, as expected from a prince, he had preferred studying from a very young age. He had loved spending his time in the library, and later in a workshop in a formerly abandoned tower of the castle, set up solely for his curious endeavors in alchemy and metallurgy and astrology. Some said God blessed the young Prince, some said he had made a deal with the Devil. Sometimes there were strange noises or lights coming from the workshop in the tower, and sometimes it became quiet for days. But Prince Stark always emerged with new wonders from there once the suspicious lights or the worrying quiet had ended. He was also always ready to throw himself in the way of danger if it threatened his people. The neighboring rulers kept talking ill of him, but the people of the castle, of the kingdom adored their Prince. After he rose to the throne yet it seemed no other ruler would allow their daughter to marry the strange king, Anthony shrugged and started to look for a boy among his own people to adopt a new prince into the royal family.

Title: The Fixer Pairings/Relationships: Tony Stark/Pepper Potts (Pepperony) Warnings/Rating: Endgame spoilers!!! Summary: Pepper is a fixer. Notes: I reiterate: fuck everyone who works at Marvel Studios and choke to death on a prick. Fix-it #2 of who-knows-how-many. Unbeta’d af. Fill S-2 for the Tony Stark Bingo 2019: Experience.

***IF REBLOGGING, PLEASE TAG FOR SPOILERS!***

Everyone’s watching with tears in their eyes when Pepper arrives.

She doesn’t gently pull Peter to the side and whisper soft words to her dying husband, nor does she cling to him while she begs him to hold on just a little bit longer. She doesn’t scream or rage or weep or sprout out denials.

No, she’s a fixer.

She’s always been a fixer, since she was a child trying to mediate an argument between her preschool classmates about a toy and all the way until she was telling Tony on the couch of their home that he needed to save the universe.

She’s always known that Tony would die in that suit, doing what’s right and protecting countless innocents, but that day is not today.

She grabs Peter by the shoulder and throws him to the side without a single thought of being gentle, falling to her knees as her suit’s hand reassembles itself into what she needs. She doesn’t hesitate, simply grasping her dying husband by the hair and yanking his head to the side. She doesn’t care if it hurts him, or exacerbates his injuries, or if the people around them gasp and cry out with horror and surprise. The only thing she cares about is exposing his neck so she can stab him in his exposed neck with a needle, depressing the plunger on the syringe embedded in her Rescue armour and watching as lines of orange-red start bleeding into his veins.

Tony doesn’t scream, his vocal folds ravaged by the Snap, but he does seize and gurgle on his own blood, and Pepper laughs hysterically even as someone jerks her back with superhuman strength. She watches as Tony convulses, entire body lighting up with fire, and she can see blackened fluids beginning to ooze from his pores and widespread injuries, can see his charred and broken body already starting to stretch and bubble as Extremis begins to work its magic, repairing his body and flushing out the radiation.

She has experience in this arena. She remembers what it felt like to have that serum forced into her veins, remembers the burning and the agony, but she also remembers scars disappearing like oil paint being smeared on a canvas, remembers feeling her heart beat stronger, remembers feeling the energy blossoming in her brain. She remembers seeing Killian’s body regenerate after being burnt alive and crushed, remembers seeing people get shot and ripped to pieces before their bodies regenerated in seconds, and she knew coming into this fight that the possibility of one (or both) of them dying was high – terrified that she would leave their daughter an orphan if they both died or not, there was no way that she wasn’t going to be prepared. Just in case. Just in case.

Tony’s always said that he didn’t want to repeat the cycle of shame, and is even more adamant after Peter. He had almost abandoned the time travel possibility because his love for Morgan had (and still does) overcome his need to protect and save the universe, and Pepper is glad she came prepared to fix things, because she cannot allow him to fail on that promise to himself, even if he had wielded the gauntlet to protect Morgan and countless others from universal extermination.

“Oh my God,” she hears Bruce whisper as Tony’s skin goes from red and yellow from organ failure to dark and flushed with blood, as his hair regrows and his arm snaps when the bones unbreak, as his vocal folds finally repair enough for the screaming to start, as his body rapidly goes from dying and broken to healthy and whole, and all she can do is laugh.

Falling through time

Stephen Strange looks for the best possible ending of the fight with Thanos, but after watching thousands of different futures and universes where they lose, he'd settle simply with any possibility where they win.

But it seems impossible - at least with the given circumstances. As the Sorcerer Supreme digs deeper, he recognizes a pattern: the Avengers lose, because the two of their leaders aren't on good terms with each other. Everything boils down to Steve and Tony needing to learn to actually work together, like they were supposed to from the beginning.

Strange has an Infinity Stone (and Tony’s half-finished time machine) and a brilliant idea: sending the two iconic Avengers back to witness their own pasts together, therefore understanding each other better in the present.

Things go sideways when, due to an argument between them as per usual, Steve and Tony get separated during their trip to the past. The result? Tony falling through time and landing at seemingly random eras and places, while Steve getting stuck at all kinds of wars, fighting again and again and again.

Strange can't seem to help them, until Bucky, fed up of losing everything he has, stands up and is ready to throw himself into the timestream. He'll go after them, after his idiotic best friend and his former opponent, two people he secretly (or not so secretly) loved for a long time. He’ll go and protect them and guide them until they find their way back home, or until he’s dead.

Bucky gets scattered everywhere and nowhere in time like Schrodinger's cat, he fights and protects them, always showing up when they need him but never quite able to really stay.

During their journey through time, it seems these two only needed a Bucky in the middle to bridge the gaps between them.

And if all three of them fell in love in the journey through time, and come out of the adventure in polyamorous relationship, well. Maybe that's not a bad thing either, after all?

A different take on the Iron Fam

Howard and Maria Stark adopted Natasha Romanova at age 8, when she was rescued from the Red Room. Natasha still became a trained spy, because that’s what she had started, and that’s what she thought she’d be the best at, and because there are influences on young kids that are easier to work with than to undone. But this time, it was her own choice, and a path she walked proudly.

Tony and Natasha grew up as siblings, the kind of chaotic mischief-makers that are too good to ever be caught, friends who constantly tease each other with inside jokes and make fun of each other privately, but who would kill anyone who dared to look wrongly at the other.

When Natasha Stark goes missing on a mission, Tony is worried, sure, but he’s also confident in his little sister’s abilities to get out of any trouble.

What he doesn’t expect is Nat to show up a month later with a fellow prisoner in tow, who is none else but the long lost soldier Bucky Barnes, and for her to announce that they are a couple. Tony nearly shots the man with a repulsor blast then and there.

Tony is worried, and very suspicious of this new guy, but after a while he has to realize that this troubled, traumatized man isn’t a threat to his relationship with his little sister, and also a good influence on her. He makes her happy. Bucky is a good guy, and he treats Nat with the utmost respect, love and admiration, which goes the other way around too. After months of prodding and testing and complaining, Tony also has to make his peace with the events. Bucky will have a long way to recover from the abuse he suffered in captivity, but Nat and Tony are going to be on his side, at least.

And if Tony has a new partner in crime when he wants to annoy people, well. That’s just the cherry on top of it.

Tony Stark Bingo Round 2 - Masterpost

So another round of the TSB is over, and I’m proud to say that this time, I MANAGED TO DO A BLACKOUT! HELL YEAH! Here are my fills, in order of the card squares.

S1 - Kink: sex magic

Title: Take me to the magic of the moment (chapter 3.) Pairing: Tony/Bucky (Winteriron) Rating: E Warnings: mild dub-con (circumstances are pressuring the consent, plus some bdsm aspects are not pre-negotiated), Explicit sexual content Summary: "Tony was wondering how he, the fucking best tech-mage of the kingdom (or maybe the whole continent, or the whole world, if he didn't want to be humble) ended up here. (...) Which was exactly what had happened in their neighboring kingdom just a few days ago. Daddy Dearest apparently had gotten himself into some huge mess with his mages. Howard was probably dead by now, Tony at least was sure of that, knowing said mages personally. Oh yeah, that was the reason why Tony was sitting in Barnes's room in nothing but a robe." * Tony is the best tech mage, and has to work with Barnes, the best nature mage, in order to save their kingdom. It... doesn't exactly go as they planned. It goes way better than that. And way, way more intimate. A collaboration with the lovely @feignedsobriquet​!  Words: 14,322

S2 - [image: Tony and the armor]

Title: Count on me Rating: T Pairing: Tony/Bucky (Winteriron) Warnings: general Winter Soldier angst (with a happy ending) Summary: "For some reason, the Asset knew that the number seven was impressive, and when he was out of the base and no one was watching, he traced the outlines of it with his metal finger." A soulmate tattoo shows how dangerous the soulmate is. Bucky's tattoo shows higher and higher numbers as time goes by. In the end, he finds the person behind the numbers, of course. Words: 2,618

S3 - Kink: begging

Title: The stranger addition (chapter 4) Rating: E Pairing: Steve/Tony/Bucky (Stuckony) Warnings: PWP, Explicit sexual content,  BDSM Summary: The man steps in. Tony stares at them alternately. “Who’s he?” “He’s Steve,” Bucky says, “my shadow.” “I’m your best friend,” Steve corrects him, “has been since childhood.” “Yeah, that too.” Bucky waves it away, and there’s certainly a story behind this, but Tony can’t decipher it with the limited information he has, and he’s frankly preoccupied with other activities to figure it all out. Like with how Bucky keeps kissing his neck, gentle this time, like making up for the harsh treatment a moment earlier. “And this is Tony,” Bucky continues with the introductions, “my owner… and my pet.” --- Tony bought Bucky in a horse auction. Bucky became Tony's property, his bodyguard, and later - while they remained in their original roles to the wider audience - Bucky became Tony's Dom in the bedroom. This balance seemingly provided everything they needed. But one day Bucky announces a guest, and a new addition comes to the equation in the form of Steve Rogers. Words: 8,765

S4 - Kink: collars

Title: Already a sinner, and I'm an overachiever  (chapter 1.) Rating: E Pairing: Steve/Tony/Bucky (Stuckony) Warnings: PWP, BDSM, consensual loss of bodily anatomy, bondage and restriction Summary: "Extremis and his arm - that for a long while was a combination solely for Tony's and Bucky's pleasure. He shared Tony in almost every aspect, but this, this was private, this was theirs… His greedy mind recoiled from the idea of sharing until only recently. Lately, Bucky feels that he might be ready to share Tony completely with Steve. They are all together in this relationship after all, but Bucky held back this piece of him from Steve, afraid that Steve wouldn't be able to accept that submissiveness. Just like with Tony, it took Bucky time and effort to work through his fears, but now he’s ready to make that leap of faith. Especially if he doesn't have to do it alone this time." --- Bucky is finally ready to be submissive in front of Steve. Turns out, Bucky wasn't the only one who held back a piece of himself. Tony finally gets to enjoy being in control of both of his boyfriends at the same time instead of separately. --- A remix of JaracandaBanyan's fic Bucky Barnes Thinks Extremis Is Hot - with embedded moodboard in the beginning and in the end :) Words: 7,649

S5 - Warm and Fuzzy Feelings

Title: Tony Stark’s Snuggable Murder Kitten Rating: G Warnings: Fluff Pairing: Tony/Bucky (Winteriron) Summary: Bucky, even though he lives in the Tower and is an Avenger, is still the Winter Soldier. Tony Stark apparently didn't get that memo and uses every opportunity to snuggle Bucky. Bucky has zero objections. Words: 1,595

T1 - Nebula

Title: Silver love under the sun Rating: T Pairing: Pepper/Nebula, Pepper&Tony Warnings: none Summary: It was forbidden. But Pepper had nurtured forbidden feelings since she had arrived to the temple of Selene. AKA the three of them are priestesses of Selene, the Goddess of Moon. Words: 978

T2 - Weddingfic

Title: Yelling at the bride is sometimes justified  Rating: G Pairing: Sunset/Tony, pre-Bucky/Tony (ending in proper Bucky/Tony) Warnings: attempt at forced marriage Summary: Steve Rogers, part-time wedding organizer, sets up everything as Sunset Bain wanted. The only problem presents itself when they're all at the wedding, and it turns out, the groom is not as willing as Sunset hoped. Luckily Bucky is there too, and the two of them comes to the resuce. Words: 1,172

T3 - Happily ever after

Title: Take me to the magic of the moment (chapter 5.) Pairing: Tony/Bucky (Winteriron) Rating: E Warnings: mild dub-con (circumstances are pressuring the consent, plus some bdsm aspects are not pre-negotiated), Explicit sexual content Summary: "Tony was wondering how he, the fucking best tech-mage of the kingdom (or maybe the whole continent, or the whole world, if he didn't want to be humble) ended up here. (...) Which was exactly what had happened in their neighboring kingdom just a few days ago. Daddy Dearest apparently had gotten himself into some huge mess with his mages.

T4 - Sharing body heat

Title: Eleven, twelve, thirteen Rating: T Pairing: Bucky/Tony (Winteriron) Warnings: Barton family, mutual pining Summary: “Are you sure there is no other way?” he asked Laura, hope thinly veiled in his voice. The woman dared to give him a condescending look. "He’s your soulmate, Tony, I’m sure you two will be able to handle to be in the same room for a night." Or: Tony is not pining. Seriously, he's not. Second part of the Danger number soulmate au. Words: 3,372

After he recorded a message for his family, he also saved his consciousness, and when his heart stopped beating, FRIDAY activated the new AI's protocol. Tony rapidly learns how to fit into his new circumstances, how to handle things with Pepper, and he also figures out on the way that he cares a bit too much about some supersoldiers of his.

R1 - Shared trauma

Title: Soar in the sky (with me) (chapter 3) Rating: M Pairing: Tony/Bucky (Winteriron) Warnings: standard Winter Soldier and Tony Stark warnings apply Summary: "The Asset was suddenly entirely sure that the kid was like him. He couldn’t track down the origin of that thought, or the base of this feeling of similarity, but ultimately it didn’t matter. It was instinct like battle-readiness, like the anticipation of the next move of an opponent before his conscious brain could catch on." --- "He didn't move for a moment, too surprised. This position was too sudden and too much - the closeness wouldn't have been a problem for him, Tony was used to his private space being invaded, but the fucking wing outstretched over him made it into a nest, caring and intimate. Tony was used to sudden closeness, had been in just enough parties with drunk university students, even if this environment wasn't where he would've expected something like that. What was truly shocking, though, was the lack of visceral reaction from him."

I owe a huge, huge THANK YOU to all the amazing mods of the Tony Stark Bingo, for everything they’ve done for us. YOU ROCK! And I love you all! @tonystarkbingo

Also huge huge thanks to all the amazing betas, cheerreaders and friends who helped through the writing/editing processes, or did collabs with me - you all are the magical unicorns of the fandom who makes all of this come to reality from scraps, and I definitely wouldn’t post any single fic without your help.

I'm personally not a big fan of DrPepperony, mostly because I don't know how to write Pepper and I generally don't write porn with female characters, so I do hope that the lack of said porn isn't too much of a disappointment. Still, I kinda like this regardless, and I had fun with it, even if it doesn't fill the prompt to a T. Also, it's unbeta'd af, and has the added bonus of filling A-5 for my Tony Stark Bingo 2019 card: Cinderella Story (in a highly unconventional manner lmao). Enjoy, and feel free to prompt me more for my Bingo Card!

Also read on ao3.

-----

Pepper comes in at half-past four and blinks.

After so many years of being Tony’s PA, then boss, then girlfriend, then fiancée, she likes to think that she’s seen it all. Tony’s never been a shy man, nor has he ever been particularly shameful – Tony Stark is a conundrum and a complete wild card, even in his predictability, so he’s gotten himself into some crazy situations that Pepper’s walked in on, berated him for, or teased him mercilessly about. Let it be known that Pepper’s not shy either, and that’s why she’s a damned good CEO of the biggest conglomerate on the planet.

Honestly, Tony dabbling with employees isn’t exactly out-of-the-norm (obviously, considering Pepper herself, and the gossip mags are still having a field day with that one), and, of course, Tony’s always been a fan of roleplay too, so it’s not like she’s really surprised by what she’s seeing.

Except she is.

Pepper’s always liked Stephen Strange, which isn’t really a surprise to anyone who knows her. He’s her type – sharp, smart, a bit of a dork, kind, unbelievably soft behind closed doors, a thousand other things that makes her heart flutter and her cheeks flush – and he’s good for Tony too. It’s nice having him around, because Pepper can talk to an adult for once and Tony can get his geek on with a fellow swot, not to mention that they take care of each other out in the field too. She doesn’t even want to count how many times the two of them have jumped into the middle of a fight to keep each other safe, and Pepper’s always going to be thankful for that. She already has enough worry and stress in her life knowing that both of them are fighting and saving the world, but the comfort of knowing they have each other to lean on is relieving.

Stephen is straight-laced and arrogant, a remnant of his neurosurgery days, and a wry, bizarre little shit from his current profession as the Sorcerer Supreme. It’s a juxtaposition that shouldn’t make sense, but somehow it works on him, especially considering the gibberish he talks that makes him sound like an alien sometimes. He’s very proper and maintained, meticulous and stern, sardonic and baffling, and Pepper’s never really seen a deviation of that over the year of Stephen being intimate with Tony.

Seeing him like this? Well. She thought she’d seen everything, but apparently not.

“Tony...” she says slowly, watching Stephen as he cleans off a bartop with careful precision. From the corner of her eyes, she can see Tony practically skipping towards her with a huge grin on his face, showing every tooth in his mouth, but she can’t quite take her eyes off Stephen quietly doing what the cleaning crew is employed for, and who could even blame her anyway?

Stephen Strange, Sorcerer Supreme and widely considered to be the best neurosurgeon that’s ever practised, is dressed in a skimpy, oddly flattering maid’s costume. It’s short and revealing, with a dipping neckline that shows off the tops of his pink nipples, and the sleeves and skirt are poofing out, ruffles swaying with every movement he makes. It’s short enough that Pepper can see lacey white knickers on his arse, the boyfriend-cut not enough to hide the swell of his arse as it peeks through the bottom, just barely cutting into the crease, and the white lace matches the shockingly white sheer stockings that stretch up his lean, muscular legs, gartered up mid-thigh. He has a pair of simple, heeled Mary Janes on, more innocent than six-inch stilettos would be, but it still emphasises the bulge of his calves underneath sheer fabric. A matching lace choker around his neck, a small bow in his hair, and long white gloves complete the ensemble.

Pepper immediately wonders what the bet is, and who’s winning.

“Welcome home, babe!” Tony greets happily, pecking her on the cheek chastely before wrapping an arm around Pepper’s shoulders, focussing his attention on Stephen as well as he thunks his head gently against hers. “I see you’ve become aware of our pretty Cinderella.”

“Tony...” she says again, and this time there’s a hint of you-better-explain-yourself-now in her tone.

Tony sniggers for a second, then brandishes a remote in his free hand as he explains with deliberate nonchalance, “Well, you see, we were arguing about how Stephen is a terrible snob – which is rich, coming from me – and he said that he is perfectly capable of taking care of himself without needing help, which I thought was hilarious. I mean, you know as well as I do that he’s adorably messy, always leaving his clothes on the floor when he’s getting naked or not wanting to shower after I’ve come all over him, so we made a deal.”

Pepper fights the urge to roll her eyes at their predictable brand of crazy and says, “Let me guess, he has to do...that until midnight?”

Tony thunks her head again with his and answers cheerfully, “Sure does! Wanna see him dance?”

“I—” she starts, but she doesn’t manage to finish, because Tony’s pressing a button on the remote and suddenly Stephen’s knees buckle, hands flailing for purchase before he slams his gloved forearms against the bartop, the cleaning cloth squeezed between his fingers. His entire body shivers, hips twitching into the perfect position for the overhead lights to shine directly on Stephen’s dolled-up body, and suddenly Pepper can see the sheen of viscous liquid on the bare strip of Stephen’s inner thighs and hear the faint buzz of a toy.

“Tony!” she exclaims, mouth dropping open, and she’s not sure whether she’s fascinated by the sight of Stephen’s countenance or if she’s just completely flummoxed that Stephen’s allowing this.

Pepper’s sex-positive and fairly blasé about sex in general, so she knows what her fiancé and boyfriend get up to. She knows that Stephen’s an adventurous man in the bedroom – she’s seen it first-hand, more times than she can count, since they’re always fooling around with each other and always trying to one-up the other to boot – but she also knows that Stephen generally makes Tony dress in pretty things (or Pepper herself, but that’s for the aesthetic). Seeing it the other way around is already jarring, and knowing that Stephen’s apparently getting off on doing household chores (my dreaded enemy, he likes to say sometimes in that dramatic way he has) in a skimpy maid’s costume while something buzzes inside him?

Well.

Well.

“It’s great, right?” Tony quips with a squeeze, pulling her close. “I mean, don’t worry babe, I’ve been periodically taking it out for more lube – I need to build one that has a secreting function, but it’d need a reservoir, so it’ll be tricky – so I’m being super careful. In fact...” He pecks her on the cheek again and then walks towards Stephen, practically strutting and eyes bright with arousal. Now that he’s in her line of vision, she can see that he looks well-rested and comfortable, in a threadbare shirt with the sleeves shucked up to his elbows and a pair of Stephen’s flannel pyjama bottoms which do nothing to hide the swell of his prick.

As he turns off the vibrating plug and then slowly pulls down Stephen’s lace knickers to expose the swell of his arse, running a hand along Stephen’s skin languidly, she can’t help but think that this is her favourite type of Tony: easy in his own skin, predatory, soft and calm in the comfort of his own home and around the people he loves. She loves when he gets like this, because it’s proof that Tony can take a deep breath and really allow himself to be for once, rather than hiding behind a well-worn mask or keeping his armour (both metaphorically and literally) up. It’s extremely validating that he’s able to be his true self in front of her, allowing himself to be seen like this.

She watches as Tony digs a bottle of lube out of his pocket, pulls out the sizeable toy (bright red and garish, which isn’t surprising), and lubes it up again before slowly teasing it back inside of Stephen’s hole. He’s kissing the side of Stephen’s neck, long drags of his lips and rough murmurs that Pepper can’t quite understand, so she steps closer so she can decipher the words. It’s quiet praise mixed in with vile words – you’re so beautiful Stephen, and your hole just sucks it in all pretty and desperately, fuck you’re gorgeous aren’t you – and it’s classic Tony, just the right mixture of dirty talk and honest appreciation. Stephen seems to eat it up, his face and chest flushed as he bends placidly against the bar, and Pepper can’t help but stroke a hand along the other side of Stephen’s lightly damp neck, pressing a kiss of her own against his thick hair.

“Welcome home, Pepper,” Stephen croaks thickly, turning his head so he can look at her with glazed eyes. “How many businessmen did you eviscerate today?”

She smiles. “Four, actually. I have their balls in a jar on my desk at the office.” She presses another kiss against his flushed, sweaty forehead and asks them both, “So is anyone going to tell me what this bet is?”

She hears the buzz of the vibrating plug start up, making Stephen jolt around a low groan, and Tony pipes up, “If he continues to be our pretty Cinderella until midnight without getting off or avoiding his duties as our maid, I have to physically attend that conference in Geneva for nerve regenerating stem cell research with him instead of just throwing money at it. If I win, he has to come to Vegas with me for twenty-four hours without complaining about it. Obviously you’re enthusiastically invited to all of the above, though I doubt you’ll partake in any Vegas festivities.”

“I might have to, if Stephen’s not allowed to complain about it,” she remarks off-handedly with a shrug, presses a last kiss to Stephen’s cheek, and then ruffles Tony’s hair. “Our PR team might have a coronary if you’re forcing him to enable you in Sin City. I’m going to go shower now.”

“Okay babe. Do you want him to wash you up?” Tony offers.

She watches as Stephen’s eyes go dark at the possibility, and despite the fact that it’s always nice to shower with her men and be pampered, she also knows that Stephen has a bet to win and she’s going to do everything in her power to help him do it. If only for her own sanity.

“It’s fine,” she replies easily, smiling at Stephen. “Wouldn’t want to make you get out of your pretty dress, Stephen.”

Tony giggles as Stephen scowls, though the effect is weakened by the sharp arousal in his sharp face. “This costume is humiliating and incredibly uncomfortable.”

“I think you look nice, if a little cliché,” Pepper notes, pulling away and shrugging out of her suit jacket. “Be thankful he didn’t put you in a corset and six-inch stilettos instead. He’s always had a thing for that.”

“Ooh, that’s a thought!” Tony exclaims with a cheeky wink. He pushes a button absently on the remote, making the buzzing get unbearably loud, and Stephen cries out, entire body shuddering before his hips start thrusting forward into air for friction, eyes clenches shut as he feels.

Pepper rolls her eyes and says seriously, albeit with a twinge of amusement, “Stephen, I need you to be strong for me. Think of Geneva and making Tony suffer through a benefit dinner, and you’ll make it to midnight. Be a pretty, strong Cinderella, and I’ll help you make him suffer.”

Through the constant groans and full-body shivers, Stephen still manages to crack a smile even as Tony huffs with mock offense. “Hey, that’s rude. You’re not supposed to take his side on this.”

Pepper sniffs without any heat and then makes her way to their master bath, calling out merrily behind her shoulder, “You honestly don’t expect me to pick a side when the stakes are Vegas and a medical conference in Geneva? Think of the shoes, Tony.”

She leaves the room with a smile, listening to Tony laugh vibrantly and Stephen moan even as he’s ordered to keep cleaning up.

They’re both totally insane, in Pepper’s opinion, but she loves them nonetheless.
