Why this must be read:
Ostensibly movieverse but really a comics/film mashup. Tony and the most important people in Tony's life. The ways that he pulls them in, and the ways that he pushes them away, as they try hopelessy to cover him through his inevitable downward spiral. And yes, drunk!Tony. I love a spot of good drunken Tony characterisation, and this story has it in spades. Plus. War Machine.
Tony shuts off the saw and rocks back on his heels. “Okay.” He snaps his plastic mask up. “Come on, Rhodey, whatever you’re trying to say with that loveable passive-aggressive charm of yours, let’s hear it.”
Rhodes’s eyes narrow; he pushes the goggles up on his forehead. “I’m trying to say, you being sober enough to help me out today, that was chance.”
“Oh, for the love of— Once, once, a guy can’t keep a repulsor steady, and you never let him hear the end of it.”
