Which is to say, that I saw Iron Man for the second time today, and it was so much fun that I kept getting distracted by the awesomepants and funny and falling in love with Robert Downey Jr all over again instead of, you know. Focusing on exactly getting Stark's personality and mannerisms down so that I can write dirty, dirty fic about the time Pepper did catch him doing something worse.

But really, it ties into something I've been puzzling over for Rome fic for a while: how do you make a guy like Mark Antony or Tony Stark be loyal to you? Or more accurately, what kind of interesting stories can I tell about earning Antony or Stark's loyalty?

( Which is not to say that Antony and Stark are the same person. Rambling and thinking-through as I type. )

SO YES, A LOT OF WORDS TO DESCRIBE A BUNCH OF TRAITS THAT ARE, IN FACT, INTUITIVELY OBVIOUS.
