Things were completely and utterly falling apart.

Life and love and happiness left for the season.

Destruction. Chaos. Death.

Evil crept in.

Then light.

Sheer, pure, light surfaced.

… and was crushed.

Because the world was falling apart.

Everything was falling apart.

And nothing could stop that.

If there's a way,

Maybe to turn this corrupted, defiled rubble into beauty again.

He'd try.

If he wakes.

If.

If the man for all seasons decides to tackle it.

But it's been hard. And rough. And taxing.

Death.

Pain.

Pepper.

Perhaps that light could shine once more.

Maybe that's all he needs.

To know that light will shine.

Eventually.

What I came up with after seeing the Iron Man 3 trailer. Quite depressing, but someone requested I do something for the trailer. Not sure what I feel about this. The beginning is what he went through with the Avengers, and after is what you see in the trailer.

I haven't been around much, but that's because I've been working diligently on another story which has captured all of my time. I'd love to come back here and see you all every week like I used too, but the Tony and Pepper ideas have seemed to quit flowing :/

Now all that comes is Tom Hiddleston-ness… which is fine with me. ;)
