Wish me luck!

I might have just signed up to write a MCU fic, a bang no less. Yupp, and though I'm asking myself in a crazy high-pitched voice "What have you done?", I'm looking forward to doing it.
Ah wait, I should tell you it's not going to be a story with Steve as a MC, so my Stony and Stucky flisters can relax - I won't harm the precious stars-and-spangled boy. No, I'm in for the more ambiguous and megalomaniac characters of Marvel, like Tony and Loki. Ups, that might just be the pairing. If you're not used to them, they're called ForstIron or IronFrost and, my, isn't that a charming name for a pair?

I read a few Marvel comics in my teenage days and have always loved the norse mythology because of Loki's ambivalent character. Then I took glimpses into the fandom because of alby_mangroves gorgeous art, even though I didn't find my pairing for a while. Then I stumbled over some wonderful art by Artmetica (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1303585) for a fic named Winterheart by Goddamnhella. Let me asure you that was the most marvellous story I've read in a while.
It even made me forget about my dislike of action movies. Yep, I've started to watch the movies and can tell you that:
- I cringed my way through Thor. Wtf was Kenneth Branagh thinking? Or is this golden bling nonsense in Asgard Marvel's or Disney's fault?
- I loved the Avengers. Does anybody know that I lived a few years in Stuttgart? Laughed my arse of about that part and some others too.

Long story short. Let's hope I won't embarrass myself by writing my first MCU fic, the first story in AE (that's going to be strange), and from the pov of one of two geniuses even though I'm far from being one. Well, don't say I do anything by halves. Wish me luck!

Have a lovely Sunday y'all!

Thank you, my sweet noodle! Well, Marvel is complicated as there are comics on the one hand and movies plus tv series on the other. The latter is based on the former, but afaik there are some differences. I'm not versed enough with the comics to have a say.

Anyway, I'm still working on watching canon and just had a great time with the 3rd Iron Man. I might just get used to all the explosions around sassy Mr. Stark or I'm still falling for this genius with all the gorgeous gadgets. It doesn't hurt either that RDJ looks mighty fine for his age. :p

I really love your writing and hope you'll post it on AO3, hon! Best just together with these charming pics of yours. You could start with your manipulating little princess, right?

Ah, Thor. Dear me, the 2nd is the next on the list. I really, really hope it's going to be better than the first. A friend of mine told me it'd be, but yeah, it's easy to get distracted by an evil looking Loki. I'll get that. ;)

ahhh, of course, it's a huge verse!! I don't know much about it, tbh, alas! But it's exciting you're writing a new thing - and yes, RDJ is quite easy on the eyes, and very charming? :D

and I did!! It's on ao3 here (http://archiveofourown.org/works/7317499/chapters/16620238)! I think I'm gonna write a sequel. or a prequel...all the quels!!! :D I have no self control LOL.

Hmm, I think the second is better? I haven't seen it, but I recall it had better reviews? Perhaps after the success of Avengers they pulled their socks up!
