Why this must be read:

Tony is going to kill Thor, he doesn't care if the guy's functionally immortal, he has resources, he'll find a way.

Totally adorable Tony/Bruce friendship fic. The banter is just the right tempo and the Bruce and Tony voices are spot on. It's hard to make conversation sound natural and like conversation in fic but this manages it.

"You spent a few hours after that laying on the floor refusing to move, you said you had terrible vertigo. Then you started hallucinating, and then you tried to take your clothes off because you thought that would make it better."

"Which I clearly succeeded in doing, because I'm wearing much less than I remember." Tony's wearing nothing, as it happens, he'd noticed that.

Bruce sighs, and pushes thumb and finger up under his glasses to rub his eyes. "It's complicated," he admits. Which is Bruce Banner speak for 'I really don't want to talk about this.' It's the sort of opening Tony would take full and terrible advantage of - but it does bring up another question.

"Is there audio and/or visual evidence of my descent into dragon-based insanity?"

"There was," Bruce says carefully. "But now there isn't. And I took your phone when you started trying to call people."
