wonderful story. very moving. excellent writing. =D

i absolutely loved it!;)

I loved it!

I liked it:)

It's really interesting:)

Aww... that was sad and sweet and I loved it. *Yay!*

Wow! That was amazing! Enjoyed it immensely! Tony being all supportive and concerned was very sweet. Their smexing was hot (as if it couldnt be :P), but I think my most fav part was his "You’re the best thing that ever happened to me". I'm a sucker for the line :) Great job, yet again! You really do a lovely job with TP.

Great job, I loved how you balanced the humor and the angst to create a truly deep characterization. Very well done. I hope you have some more great story ideas soon!

Wow. I really liked this fic. I’ve been looking for a nice angsty fic for a while to fit my mood and this one was perfect. It was well written and very believable. Good job!

Write a sequel. This story is great.

I'm so fortunate to have stumbled upon your work, what a very pleasant surprise. Just wonderful! You have a new fan *scrambling off to find and read all your work* which means you must start another story asap

Thank you so much

Great story...I love all your Ironman fics...more please!

Thanks for writing a piece like this. Actually it was very moving and tender in the way that Pepper finally let her wall down. She is a great character. Enjoyed muchly

I see what you mean about this being angstier than usual. :( Sad, but still good. Did you post all of it at once? :o *goes to read more*

Wow! I was wondering whether we'd get any more IM stories from you, and suddenly all that, all at once! Thanks for not dragging it out as a WIP, that would have been too stressful. This whole backstory makes so much sense, why Pepper would put up with him even before falling for him, why she'd want a job like that, needing to be needed and all. And Tony's response, all perfect! Thank you!
