I'm sort of guessing that Pepper's reaction had more to do with the fact that Tony has a kid with someone Pepper resembles greatly (something Harry himself picked up on). That plus the fact that apparently Tony got all internal monology when he found out that Lily was dead had to be making Pepper think she was a replacement of sorts. Add in all his other 'reckless behavior' and yea, straw, camelback.
That being said - as someone who has pretty much hated the Pepper character since I started reading Marvel comics almost 20 years ago I have zero problem with her being kaput. I mean christ, nasty to Happy while mooning over Tony...only to marry Happy and adopt kids with him and be nasty to Tony...only to cheat on Happy...only to remarry Happy...and then turn off his life support...and then get with Tony. Yet, we're supposed to LIKE this character?
The fact that Gweneth Paltrow is (in my opinion) of the world's most overrated actresses? Well, my opinion of Pepper Potts didn't rise with the movies.

Hmmm... if the gloves work everyone can write it off as an anxiety to skin contact. Tony himself has a thing with being handed anything by strangers, so everybody will probably just assume they're more father-son because they share weird quirks (not that they are actually weird, just remember everybody's face when Tony goes on one of his rants about being passed things). :P I really like what you have so far, I hope to read more in the future. Something tells me, with the way it keeps being mentioned that Harry keeping magic a secret will blow up into his face... I just can't see Tony reacting in a bad way though; he's too child like I can see him having a minor freak out and then immediate awed acceptance like, "what the hell was that?! That was awesome" with the other's I'm not so sure.

Just a little nudge to say PLEASE UPDATE love this story x x x

I have enjoyed this very much. I hope you find time to finish it someday as I would love to read the ending:)

please write more!

You must update!

nice start
Harry/Loki pairing would of been fun to read
but it is a Steve/Harry story
are the HP characters going to be in here?
or only TA?
Trance

I can't wait for Tony to figure out how badass Harry is!

that was interesting...
hope to read more soon :)

Really taking the whole affair thing badly there... Hardly something that requires forgiveness.

I like how this story is going, I like the premise that Harry is Tony's son. I hope that you will update this sometime in February maybe.

Can't wait for more! I hope Harry opens up to Tony soon!

i love this story , hope that next chapter coming soon

I loved this so much and am so eager to read more I have followed you here, AO3, and twitter to await the update. Tell me that's not flattering in a borderline stalker sort of way. Seriously though, I find myself very taken with the story you are building here. Kudos.

Nice.
