I'm always a little skeptical about second person narration but you've made it work
Ahaha, oh god, I cannot lie. I love the second person. It's my default, in fact, because it's so good for selling readers on crack-faced premises. Drag a reader deep into a character's brain, right over the left eyeball, only let them see what you want them to see -- and heyyyy, I've slipped into second person again. XD But yeah, authoritative voice, strict control over the details, tight leash on the reader, etc, etc.
Anyways. I'm really, really glad this read as Iron Man to you. As dafnap mentioned up above, I had this horror of the fic reading like an original story with Tony, Pepper, and Rhodey nametags stuck on characters, so I really tried to take efforts to make them line up with canon points. Mostly, this consisted of Tony having whiskey around all the time, but uh. XD
And thank you so much for the rec on your LJ. I still re-read "Interview Process" every other day.
