And of course, I realized this morning that I've spent a hell of a lot of time in not!Tony's head and not very much at all in not!Pepper's head.
Because seriously. Why in the world would she marry this guy? He's a self-destructive risk-taker with a smart mouth who has no regard for the people around him. This changes somewhat during their captivity, but when all's said and done, a tiger is a tiger and has a really hard time changing its stripes.
So now I have to go back and find or write in some sort of redeeming quality, something that would make her say "Okay" when he says "Marry me." I mean, duh, of course he wants to marry her, he can't tie his shoes without her there walking him through it, but I need to find a sane reason for her to reciprocate other than "We've just been through a hideous trauma together, let's have babies!"
