Oh man. I am so fucking late in replying to this, and there really is no excuse because your comment was awesome. And flattering. And holy fuck, I kinda feel awesome, except should I feel awesome for having such an effect on somebody DDDDD:?

Just do what dafnap and I do when G!Tony pontificating gets to be too emo: think about the roadtrip she takes with Rhodey their senior year, back to the family place in upstate New York for the Rhodes Thanksgiving dinner. Tony, in the passenger's seat, gleeful at the prospect of seven hours of time with Rhodey. A five pound bag of Swedish fish, a two-liter bottle of Mountain Dew, and Rhodey coming out of the Motel 6 at 5 AM in the morning to find Tony over at the truck stop, getting coffee, but talking engines and horsepower with a couple of the long-distance truckers who are also hitting the road early this morning.
