Marvel Comics/The Mentalist (R)

Title: If It Could Be Held
Pairing: Tony Stark/Patrick Jane
Author on LJ: cerebel
Author Website: cerebel_fics
Why this must be read:

For reasons that are likely obvious, movie!Tony gets crossed over a lot, and he gets paired up mostly with the smartest characters from other fandoms. Sam Carter, Kaylee Frye, Bruce Wayne, Gregory House. The engineers, a lot of the time, but also the ones with wicked wit and charm, the ones that are a match for Tony in the way that he likes. In this case, Tony's verbal poker partner is Patrick Jane, who spends a lot of time on his own show being tortured, too smart for his own good, and driving pretty girls crazy. Sound familiar? The author nails what would be fun about this matchup, and then some.

Stark flicks an eyebrow. “What do you consult on, Mr. Jane?”

So Stark did remember his name, from the introductions earlier. “This and that,” says Jane. “Does your nice house make you feel guilty?”

“No,” says Stark. “Do people hold it against you that you’re so handsome?”

“No,” returns Jane. “Do people hold it against you that you sold weapons to terrorists for most of your adult life?”

Unfortunately I don't know much about the The Mentalist fandom, but I am intrigued by the idea of Sam Carter/Tony Stark :o Think I'm going to have to put my Google Fu to good work!

I found this ficlet, R-rated (http://oxoniensis.livejournal.com/395384.html?thread=23912056#t23912056) since someone else asked, though I'm pretty sure I read another one at some point too. My google-fu is nonexistent...
