dorindaIn a delightful morning surprise, I've discovered that MOLLYAMORY WROTE ME A BRUCE/TONY COMMENTFIC AW YISSSSSS, to my vague and hopeful prompt! Yay yay yay wooooo freebiiiiiiiiird!
I'd always talked to molly about the "idyll" type of story, in which the characters are stuck in a peaceful, comfortable, well-stocked place, usually with some kind of swimming available (anyone remember the classic Pros story "In Hot Water: an Idyl"? That is totally the Platonic Ideal.). I adore the idyll story, although I haven't yet written one myself.
So I asked molly for an idyll--and mused about, you know, whether Tony would even find my kind of idyll idyllic. Her conclusion is No He Would Not, at least not if he were ordered to be there, because whatever you tell Tony to do he looks forward to doing the opposite twelve times before breakfast. Besides, I suspect an actual idyll for him would definitely have to involve access to his labs and equipment, and something blowing up at some point. So here I get to see Bruce being zen and making sure to get some deep relaxation in, which I think he can be very good at, having perforce developed the skill (and when he's in a place he can feel safe), and Tony being contrary and unexpectedly charmable. ♥
THANKS, MOLLY, ALTHOUGH DON'T THINK I WON'T KEEP MAKING WISTFUL EYES ABOUT YOUR UNFINISHED BRUCE STUFF. ♥ ______ ♥

However, love and happiness are not as important as getting his job done/defending Britain/keeping the villains down, and he will unhesitatingly throw love and happiness -- his own as well as others' -- under the proverbial bus if higher priorities require.
