>> People often mention Tony doesn't like being handed things, but seldom do they explore why. And they certainly don't do such a well-written job of it! <<
I'm glad you found this so satisfying. One thing that often disappoints me both in film and in writing is that people take huge things and make them tiny. They'll throw in an abusive background just for angst, and not stop to think how it would affect someone. Think about how often people hand each other things; that "little" quirk of Tony's would be a major challenge in everyday life for anyone who wasn't rich enough to get his way 99% of the time.
Me, I like to dig into why things are the way they are, and what it means. So in fanfic, I take something like "Tony doesn't like being handed things," figure out what could have caused that, and then show how it would affect the character in new stories. Derive back, extrapolate forward.
>> I love this series and I hope you keep up your great work!!! <<
I have another story started, though it's nowhere near finished.
