Why this must be read:

It was hard to pick one of dafna's fics, and this one probably isn't the most obvious to pick, but I love her take on Pepper here, how despite it being in the form of a list of 8 personal fanon/canon things about Pepper, it has an internal rhythm and logic to it. It's nuanced and human and everything I love about her writing.

2) There are jobs that don't appear on her resume, like "model" and "valet," and "model valet". Tony may have developed the building blocks for the algorithm that eventually became Google, but his attention span is short, and he doesn't ever make it past the fifth page when he does bother to search for "Pepper Potts."

It's in moments like these that she's more than a little grateful that Tony seems to genuinely forget her real name isn't actually "Pepper;" that it's a name he gave her and not the one she was born with, and more importantly, posed with. More than a little.
