Because this is how I roll, I have decided that what I want most of all post Iron Man 3 is Happy Hogan centric fic. Now that movieverse Happy has acquired a personality, ( a bit spoilery preferences and resentments ), and we know how he relates and talks to Tony and Pepper, I want more. And I'm not likely to get it.

I mean, there are other fanfiction I wishes I have post IM3, sure. Pepper dealing with spoilerly stuff. (Have already spotted one or two promising candidates.) More fleshing out of movieverse Maya Hansen. Various Avengers responding to events once they hear about them. Maybe Ben Kingsley's character's backstory? But fandom has that covered in varying degrees. Happy, otoh, being stout and unsexy, is doomed to languish in unwritten character hell.

...look, chances are he's known Tony for longer than both Pepper and Rhodey. How did he get his job in the movieverse? (Somehow I can't see Obediah hiring him, though then again Obediah might have done on the principle that he (wrongly) thought Happy as a chauffeur plus bodyguard would get Tony killed and never counted on friendship developing (and Tony surviving). And considering ( a line from the film ), which of the other Avengers has he already met? Other than Natasha, obviously. And given his canonical fondness for a certain show, has he badgered Tony into downloading the episodes for him so he doesn't have to wait for PBS to show them?

These are important questions, fandom.
