This is amazing. You don't often hear about the cynical or harsh realities of Tony's past, not without the lighter side being shown, and this story shows how protective and dangerous Tony can be. He is often underestimated, and as you pointed out, somehow seen as lesser than Iron Man. Additionally, fanfictions don't usually show how Tony has been affected by the Avengers' speech and actions, so the fact that this one does is simply incredible and refreshing. Thank you for writing this, I love it!

Woah. These are my favorite type of fics.

Yes. Tony is the one you should fear because he IS Ironman - and the suit is useless without his endless upgrades and knowledge of how to operate it. It's connected to his own AI but he still wears it. He could operate it from afar but he chooses to actually wear it into battle.

I find it funny that some can't see that Tony and Ironman are one and the same.

Okay I just have to say, wow. I don’t leave reviews often. (I think this is my fourth in two years of reading fan fiction). I just had to on this fic though. This is brilliant. You really captured Tony’s thoughts in the exact way he would probably say it. I am getting into writing Tony fics and they’re crap but this is beautiful. I love it. Thank you! You are amazing.

I made an inhuman noise. This is sooo go!I made the noise again just writing this! Keep writing things! Now if you don't mind I'm going to pass out from amazingness(i know not a word, but whatever.

I love it! :D

I enjoy seeing this side of Tony.
He really couldn't have changed so much; the way that the movies imply.

Lol the last line makes this whole fic go from good to perfect I love it

Great character study. It's a point of view that is not often presented. I really enjoyed this fic.

Damn now THAT'S a Slytherin mastermind

Perfection has been written here *love on you*

I really liked this. If only Tony had completely destroyed Ross, Civil War wouldn't have been a problem!

Hahahaha. Yes!

FRIGGIN YES

OMFG THIS IS GLORIOUS! I love how over-protective Tony is and how you acknowledge that he's smarter (and not just when it comes to mechanics) than people tend to think. I'm so happy you wrote this and agree with his guarded heart.
