MCU Fanfic rec
Aug. 13th, 2013 06:38 pmYou know, for me, there are only a very few authors - all the more admirable for it - who can pull off the genre known as curtain fic. I.e. the main characters busy doing domestic things, like, well, buying curtains, and not much else of an exterior plot happening. And it's great character and relationship exploration.
penknife is one of those few. She has done it for Xavier and Magneto in the past, and now she's given us a look at young movieverse Tony Stark and Jim Rhodes:
Housekeeping: Four and a half times Tony did housework (or, five times Rhodey wasn't sure Tony Stark was cut out to survive in the real world.)
In which Tony and Rhodey meet at MIT and start their friendship. Also, there is washing. Seriously, though, this makes for a great backstory, and a lovely exploration of the Tony and Rhodey dynamic which is shamefully neglected in fanfiction when the movies made it clear how important it is to both their lives.
