Many thanks to ninjababe and strangevisitor7 for the beta -- it's much appreciated!

My thanks to the folks over at ironman_lounge for helping out every time I had a question!




The Currency of Trust ~ Part III

"Is it a… gauntlet?" Charlotte asked uncertainly as she ran a finger down the gleaming metal device lying on the table.

"You could call it that," Tony replied. "But the best way to explain is by demonstrating."

( After reassuring Pepper that they hadn’t spilled any blood, they had come downstairs to Tony's workshop, what Charlotte called his 'inner sanctum and toy box', so he could finally show her what he'd been working on with such intensity. Last night, when she'd arrived, there’d been some sort of robot leg on the worktable opposite the one with the gauntlet. )

The Currency of Trust ~ Part I

( The granite of the stairs was cool against Charlotte’s bare feet as she headed down to the living room from the guest wing. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt that read ‘Friends Don’t Let Friends Drink White Zinfandel’, she was desperate for a cup of tea after last night’s tequila blowout with Tony. )

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Tell me about it. The tipping point was the conversation over at Ironman Lounge this morning, and the result was this.

Characters: Agent Coulson, Michael Westen.
Notes: PG, Iron Man/Burn Notice.
Summary: Michael considers a unique employment opportunity.

Black Isn't My Colour

( The guy at the corner table screamed 'Fed' – black suit, black tie, white shirt. But more than that, it was the air of innocuousness that contrasted with eyes that didn't miss a thing. Yeah. He was definitely the meeting.  )

A little crack type fic for the lunchtime hour. Very short, very silly. Don't ask me where it came from, because I have no freakin' idea! I figure after all the angsty Iron Man fic I've been writing, something lighter would be good!


Characters: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts
Notes: G, ficlet, pure silliness.
Summary: Tony explores his inner artist.

( Art Appreciation )

More Iron Man fic here.

Yes, it is indeed a sequel to Real Friends Buy You In-N-Out. The angst, it called to us. I swear I'm going to try and work on the sequel to Practical Applications next! There will be a third segment to this series, I think it needs some wrapping up and Pepper needs some screen time too :)

Characters: Tony Stark, Charlotte Sparrow
Notes: PG15, sequel to Real Friends Buy You In-N-Out.
Summary: Burgers, tequila, and the importance of friendship and simple human touch when you're hurting.


'Tequila Lullaby'

( Charlotte stretched her arm out across the bed, not at all sure where she was. They weren’t her sheets -- her sheets weren’t silk. Oh…right. Tony’s; she was at Tony’s. Memory trickled back. They’d gone for burgers. Tony’d had four, leading her to inquire if his Arc Reactor required beef and cheese for fuel. That had earned her a genuine smile. Then they’d come back here and there had been tequila, lots and lots of tequila. She vaguely remembered playing the piano, Tony throwing out requests that got crazier with each shot of alcohol. )

I did it again. More Iron Man ficagge. This is a prequel to 'Practical Applications' and is all angsty and broody. I've discovered there's a tired to angst ratio when I write. And I was really tired. The wine probably didn't help either. I'll probably regret posting it in the morning. But for now...

Characters: Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, Charlotte Sparrow
Notes: PG15, implied Tony/Pepper, prequel to 'Practical Applications'.
Summary: It's been a week since Tony's been back home and a concerned Pepper calls in reinforcements.


( Real Friends Buy You In-N-Out )

This fic has been a trip. I'm still rather baffled by its existence, but what can you do? Thanks to everyone who prodded me to actually write it. It was actually fun, despite the fact that Tony really never shuts up :) Thanks to ninjababe, dejla, and kensieg who looked it over in progress. I appreciate it!

Characters: Tony Stark, Methos, Charlotte Sparrow
Notes: PG15, Iron Man/Highlander, implied Tony/Pepper.
Summary: Tony looks up an old friend, sure that he has an offer she couldn't possibly refuse.

( Practical Applications ~ Part Two )

Use the story title tag for prior part.

I'm throwing this out here since I don't know where the hell it came from! Basically, it's an outtake, or a detour, of the story I'm currently writing, "I Am Going To The West", which is a Highlander fic. Why did I write this? I wrote it because Tony Stark is annoying and pushy and wouldn't shut up! He was peeved he'd been sidelined in favour of Methos and company, so to get some peace, so I can finish my story, I threw him a cookie. Except he tricked me, and it's gone from short little fic to an epic. Part two is being worked on as you read.

Characters: Tony Stark, Methos, Charlotte Sparrow
Notes: PG15, Iron Man/Highlander, WIP, formerly known as the 'I Have No Idea What This Is' Fic, implied Tony/Pepper.
Summary: Tony looks up an old friend, sure he has an offer she couldn't possibly refuse.

( An unexpected visitor... )

Okay, pesky peeps! I acquiesced to your desires and wrote it :) hope you enjoy it!

Title: Addiction
Rating: PG
Notes: Tony Stark meets Methos, Iron Man/Highlander
Character(s): Methos, Tony
Summary: Tony gains insight during a chance reunion along the California coast.


Addiction

( There was nothing like it; cruising along the California coast at twilight, the soft light of day’s end and night’s beginning caressing the horizon. This was true freedom, and Tony thought that this must be what a bird felt as it took wing, looking down on all God’s creation. No interruptions, no work or obligations to intrude on this moment of peace. Though the suit had brought a whole new set of complications into his life, it had also brought him this; solitude, and maybe… grace. )

My previous non xover Iron Man fic, 'Of Ninjas & High Heels' can be found here.

Hey, I asked for an intervention, so you have only yourselves to blame! :) A lunch hour ficlet.

Rating: PG13
Notes: Yes, it's Iron Man fic, yes, it's shippy! And yes, I know I don't usually ship anyone, but this seems to be the exception. Pure fluffy ficlet written to get it out of my head. It's all ninjababe's fault!
Characters: Tony/Pepper
Summary: Tony and Pepper discuss the talents of ninjas. Well, sort of.


Of Ninjas & High Heels

( Pepper walked across the large living room, seeming not to notice her boss sitting on the sofa in front of the floor to ceiling windows that looked out onto the Pacific. But Tony knew that was just an act. )
