Rating: Teen And Up Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Bruce Banner/Tony Stark
Characters: Bruce Banner, Tony Stark

Summary: Post the first Avengers movie, Tony is still fascinated by Bruce, and, like anything he's fascinated by, he wants to push just to see what will happen.

Notes: This was in my WIP folder from a long time ago, and I decided I wasn't going to take it any further, but I quite like what it's got so far, so I figured why not publish it.

So, I went to see Ghostbusters last week. And then again this week. And I seem to have a massive crush on Holtzmann. I suspect this film is going to be like Iron Man for me (which I have watched at least 10 times, if not more) except that I'm experiencing it at the time the film comes out and not on catch up. Which is fun but also frustrating because there's not much fic out there yet (not to say I haven't found some really good ones - are people interested in recs?).

It's kind of weird to be getting back into fandom because I feel like (a) I forgot how to do it and (b) it's being done differently now anyway. Tumblr scares me kind of and I don't really know how it works. I guess we'll see. I've not had that impulse to be creative in shows I'm into for a while, although I can't quite identify why not. I might well do some Jessica Jones stuff at some point but I need to nerve myself up to re watch that - I mean, it was absolutely amazing but I sped watched it over two days, which is a pretty hefty gut punch of emotional impact!

I did love it enough visually to commission a vid though :) I still wish I could make vids but I don't think I'm actually going to get around to figuring it out any time soon! buffyann made me a fantastic one though, and it did what I love, showing me some of what I love about the show and the characters and some things that I hadn't thought about but fitted perfectly when I looked at those clips with that lyric.

Summary: After their first, less than perfect meeting, Steve gradually revises his opinion of Tony Stark.

I finally finished it! There is A LOT of porn!

Is trousers a Britishism? Or is it something that Americans say as well and pants is just synonymous for them? Also, why is writing porn so hard, eh?

Which would people say is better for streaming fannish TV - netflix or Love Film? Or something else, I suppose.

Do Americans talk about units of alcohol (e.g. a pint of beer is 1 unit, a glass of wine is 2)? Or is that just a UK thing?

So, I might have continued obsessively watching Iron Man and Avengers and watched all the prequels except the Hulk and I have thought of the following things, among others.

- Among the reasons that I like Tony Stark, I think, are that he has no brain to mouth filter and tends, unless he has a good reason to just tell the truth about stuff. I love the fact that at the end of Iron Man he's all "fuck this secret identity shit". I may possibly identify with this :)

- Another is that he is someone who has heroism thrust upon him, as opposed to Steve, who is naturally heroic and is just given an opportunity to show it.

- I think the reason I'm writing the fic I'm writing at the moment is not because I actually want Steve and Tony together but because I want Steve to see that he was wrong in what he said to Tony on the helicarrier. The problem is that this makes the fic unbalanced because Tony was also wrong, but I haven't focused on that at all. This means that I need to reconsider where the whole thing ends up, which is annoying but explains why trying to write the last bit doesn't work.

See, this is why I don't post things in chapters. In the 5 things fic I'm currently writing, I've written part 1 (OK, but too short - needs to be fleshed out), part 2 (substantial and I'm mostly happy with it and part 4 (quite pleased with how that one turned out but not sure if if it finishes in the right place). I have a summary of what should happen in part 3 but no actual text that I'm happy with yet and I just had a new idea about part 5 last night which has completely changed where the whole thing will end up and may mean that bits need to be re-written. But not until I've written my essay, oh no.

Anyone fancy story-doctoring what I've got? It's going to end up being Steve/Tony now and it's Steve's POV (which I am finding very tricky). At this point I am mostly in the "babbling about ideas/story direction" mode rather than "serious nitpicks about grammar" mode. I think I am possibly too enamoured with the structure of it or something.

Title: Doing the right thing
Fandom: Avengers movieverse
Summary: Steve and Tony have a conversation about the conversation they had on the carrier.
Notes: So we went to see the film again last night and I came home and wrote this. Mostly still thinking about getting the character voices right and experimenting with Tony POV. This is my excuse for writing movie tags with no plot, anyway :)
