Like a marionette she complies. Bends under the pressure and under his gaze, under the gentle curve of his mouth around the letters of her name, and she tries not to break. Gorgeous, lyrical, bittersweet Pepper POV.

Hee! I really like the Tony-Rhodey banter here, as well as the Tony/Pepper.

Hee! Tony calls Pepper to get him out of a sticky situation. At 3am. Pepper is not happy. Bantery and cute.

Sequel to Blame the Coffee. More adorable Tony/Pepper banter as Tony's page interrupts Pepper's date. They are so totally the new Josh/Donna. *hearts*

Adorably bantery flirty Tony/Pepper. “What would you do if I kissed you right now?” “You wouldn’t.” “How can you be so sure?" “Because you know I would quit if you did.” "I know no such thing." "Liar."

"Potts, did I just promise to feed the hungry?" Lovely look at Tony Stark and how he might just save the world.

A kind of satisfaction lives in such words--a unity, a completion. Teach them to a child, and you'll see what I mean [...]. They taste good in the mouth, and they seem to resound with their own verbal truthfulness.

season 3 picspam. oh *boys*...

John plans to give the Impala to Dean. The difference between what the gift means to John, and what it will mean to Dean, is absolutely heartbreaking, and totally believable.

"Merlin knows, you’ve teased him often enough about his lack of interest in girls." // "What do you mean, girls? [...] I can’t believe he said that he doesn’t like Quidditch!" Adorable story about how Remus comes out &how it doesn't change an

Flirty, bantery Tony/Pepper UST. adorable.

Pepper helps Tony out of the suit. Adorably bantery and full of UST.

Set sometime in season 1, Sam convinces Dean to help out a kid who needs a ride. Spare and sad.

Breakfast at the Connors'. Derek is so fucked and he knows it. Shivery, creepy Derek/Cameron.

the odd couple! starsky and hutch! er! hee!

Tony/Pepper that's full of witty banter and UST. He makes her a robot, and she's tempted to give in to his invitation. Wonderful.

hee!

"Sounds like a plan." A pause, and Dean reconsiders. "Well, it sounds like one of our plans." Sam can't get Dean out of his deal, so he does something else. Heartbreaking and funny and so very them.

Elaine asks Lucifer about sex. Lovely and fraught, as all their interactions should be.

our boys are all growed up. *sniffle*

Adorable, heart-clenchy Jim/Pam (au-ish)

Males are playing superheroes, funnymen, even leading ladies. Females aren’t so lucky.

Exactly what the title says. Nice look at Pepper leading into the movie.

The three months Tony's held captive, from Pepper's POV. Lovely. (The writing's a little clunky in spots, but totally readable.)

Quiet, hopeful apocafic. Dean wakes up and the world has ended, and he has to find his way back to Sam. He picks up a couple of friends along the way. Lovely and wistful.

AU, Dean makes the deal for John in Crossroad Blues, and has ten years to live. Beautifully done and heartbreaking.
