Convince me.

a. Dear meret:

Thank you for saying you were excited about In Plain Sight, because then I felt compelled to actually watch it, and you know, it's pretty damn good. USA Network, I see you totally being The Network this summer. Iz times for Psych and Burn Notice nao!

Regards,
Me.

Anybody else watching this too?


b. My Live Free or Die Hard story is stalled. Probably because John is stoned. Trufax! Thanks to whomever suggested that for the hard4brains July 4 Ficathon.


c. If you could convince me to write any Iron Man story, what would you want to see? No, I will not pair up Tony/Pepper. IMO, they work better just the way they are. However, I am succeptible to giving Tony a boyfriend*, I just haven't found one that works for me. Convince me.

*ETA: Smoking hot one night stand also welcome.

IMO, they work better just the way they are. However, I am succeptible to giving Tony a boyfriend, I just haven't found one that works for me. Convince me.

My standard answer to anyone needing a boyfriend is Ianto, but sadly, Ianto really wouldn't work because I think he'd end up shooting Tony and he and Pepper would probably be very snippy with each other and no one would have much fun.

The problem is that Tony needs someone to keep him out of trouble who also won't shoot him, and I really think that list is kind of small. Michael Weston? He's patient and would be good at keeping Tony out of trouble and would probably only shoot him in non-vital areas if he ever got annoyed with him.

Did we talk about Tony/Chuck? I remember having that conversation. It would be really cute and Chuck could possibly pout at Tony into behaving.

This needs more thought.

Though after seeing some of the comics, I'm starting to think that Captain America is the only boy for Tony.

I would be totally prepared to pair Rodney McKay from SGA with Tony, because of the brain factor but then my own brain shudders in horror at the picture they make.

There's always Jack Carter from Eureka, he who is Sheriff of a town filled to the brim with disgruntled geniuses who blow crap up reguarly. Of course I'm pretty sure everyone and their dog will be hopping on this one right away because the other main character there is Nathan Stark.

Or you know, he could probably come up with a metric ton of jokes about Mr. Fantastic or The Invisible Girl or well, okay the entire Fantastic 4 team would be fodder for him really.

i vote for someone pitching a movie about Tony Stark and Ari trying to get RDJ the gig. Bwaha.

Maybe not a boyfriend, but Tony Stark/Chuck Bass really pings me.

Ooh! Wait! I agree with sparky77 Tony/Chuck would be cute and Michael Weston would play with his guns and then Tony would probably get a little turned on. But how you'd manage the two of them together, I have no idea.

I think we need to see the one time Tony Stark met Irina Derevko. I am not sure there should be Tony/Sark, but it could be fun, if you can get over the rhyming thing.

Tony Stark/Peter Parker, am I right? :)

I think the world might very well be improved with a spot of John Sheppard/Tony Stark.

Iron Man/Entourage crossover where Tony and Ari try to figure out what to buy their assistants for Assistant's Day.

Well, there's Seth who wants to write movies about superheroes and is an intern, and it's so, so, so wrong in at least twelve different ways.

Then there's Bryce, who Tony swears must be a secret agent or somebody who used to work with/for/near Rhodey, because Rhodey gets all still and weird when Bryce is in the same room.

And, of course, the on-off thing with Jack Bourdain. It's fun and Jack cooks almost as well as Tony's personal chef, and they used to have the best parties.

So much love for Burn Notice!!! Psych, while not *as* awesome, is really fun and cute. So I guess this is to say Very Much Yes! to a. :)

LOL! I watched the pilot and disliked it so much I haven't watched it since. :)

Burn Notice!!!1

My immediate reaction to Ironman was to give Tony a sarcastic and occasionally violent ex-wife. :hands:

I had this long post about how Harry Osborn (movie) would have made an awesome boyfriend to Tony Stark, unfortunately LJ sucks ass and deleted by accident. So, dot points rather than long essay.

- Tony and Harry are sons of ‘great’ and ‘powerful’ men; they would have hung around the same social circle, though Tony would have been the older and more successful son. Harry would have been fascinated and slightly jealous of Tony, because Tony Stark is awesome, and no one calls him boy in fear of waking up in the morning to discover their company have undergone a corporate takeover by Stark Industries.

- Harry is jealous, Tony is amused and couldn’t really care for the boy. They meet, they snark (Harry never gets the upperhand), Tony provides suggestions on women, money and sex. Harry seethes and starts obsessing over Peter Parker. They don’t see each other often.

- The spiderman movie happens, Harry angst, the 2nd movie happens, Harry gets obsessive and murderous, the third movie people hand waves, and then IM movie happens. And Harry is all “WTF does EVERYTHING goes right for you!” Blah, blah, blah, angst! And decides to kill IM in a fit of rage. Tony is no longer amused though he is slightly interested by the Green suit, technology and serum.

- They talk, well Harry rages, Tony lifts an eyebrow, there is some violence, which leads to storming out of mansions, then it eventually leads to sex.

- Except Harry REFUSES to leave Stark’s house, start infringing on Tony’s space, and wants the technology to power himself up in the hope of killing Spiderman.

- They are in a relationship, kind of, Tony attempts to ignore him, Harry throws a fit, there is sex. Repeat. Till Peter Parker joins the Avengers, and it is like a bitch fight.

Or you can write about Ari making RDJ dresses like Tony Stark for sex. Well, not real physical sex, so much as viewing RDJ as Tony Stark having sex with other people because Ari loves Mrs Ari and would never actully cheat on her for fear of getting a butter knife to little Ari, but being voyeur because it is like free porn. And Mrs Ari doesn't mind the porn since she figures it is probably moer sanitary than some of the people Ari do business with.
