Okay, so first of this is adorable. I am a whole sucker for any fics where food=love especially for Tony since we seem to HC him as an incapable-of-feeding-himself-properly gremlin and this one was ADORABLE. Using B. Dylan Hollis was genius, I was actually just saying the other day how I need to write pre-serum Steve with that level of feral, especially since so many of the recipes are from the the 30s and 40s. Speaking of recipes, I loved Steve and Bucky getting emotional about the food, even if it was generally terrible. I've always thought it would be extremely in character for Tony to not just design gear for the team but also to specifically design EVERYTHING for them, right down to the way their rooms are (like in my polyverse!) and which food is sitting in the fridge, so for you to dial in on Tony specifically making things that Stucky would enjoy/remember-- I just really love that. ALSO Clint and Nat literally just popping into place constantly. That's such a good comfort trope from like, the early days of Avengers 2012 everyone is a family in the tower fics. JARVIS was so funny in this! I was literally laughing out loud when Tony and he were doing the water pie because it's like, JARVIS was reading Tony exactly the directions with no deviation and Tony was like "yeah this seems right" and then "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT OVEN MITTS" and it's hysterical.
AND you "sure thing, sweet thing"'ed Bucky and Tony! That line might be the single best one I ever wrote for Bucky Barnes and I'm so glad it's worked it's way into other fics!
Overall, top tier fic but I have to say that your author's note 100% made me tear up. Between Tumblr getting increasingly less creator friendly and with 2020 and 2021 being so stressful that alot of people sort of *blipped* out of interacting (understandable, of course), I don't get as many comments or messages from my readers anymore and I honestly miss it. I'm so glad you're still around reading my fics even if you aren't on Tumblr. The pets are just fine, #Mocha the Dog is getting older every day and that makes me sad, but her tail still wags and she still acts goofy over treats so that's good. #Misha the Cat is about as worthless as you would expect for a chubby, lazy, entitled cat but she's literally exactly what I wanted when I went to adopt a cat, so I guess I can't complain lol
Thank you so much for this, for your note which legit made my entire day.
OH MY GOSH I'M SO BLOWN AWAY AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMMENTING!!!
Can I just say your "Sure thing, sweet thing" in ironwinter fics makes me squeeeeal in delight every time I read them - I'm always on the lookout for it, it's the most precious thing! And that one fic where he says "Sure thing, stupid!" By accident at first and then things work out because Tony is an absolute gem 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰 THE FEELS ARE REAL. Of course when i decided this fic would be ironwinter, i HAD to put the line in there! ICONIC!
Kisses and scritches to Mocha and Misha from me! I'm so glad they're out there living their best lives ❤️❤️
Every time you update, I get the biggest excited smile on my face 🥰 and it'd be SO FREAKING AMAZING to see smol steeb with Dylan's energy!!!!!! I can imagine it perfectly! 😂
And i love love love how considerate Tony is towards his teammates' and friends' tiniest needs and comforts, in your polyfic and in others too, especially to those needs and desires they don't realize themselves sometimes - he's the best 🥰
Your response has filled my heart with joy ❤️ ! I know as a fan I don't know you as well as I know the words you've written, but i honestly feel like you're really such a genuinely caring and lovely person, and your writing just reflects how wonderful you are 😃 And thank you for taking the time to write this lovely message! ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you and the pets have a great day!
