You might want a Superman in the streets, but how about a Batman in the sheets?
pepper x tony proposal headcanon
Tony doesn’t propose at the end of Homecoming
Because Pepper won’t let him
And it feels too invasive anyway
He’s messed up with her too many times, he has to get this right
But he ends up getting in his own head
Because if he screws this up she might leave again, for good
And he can’t live without her
In the end, Pepper is the one who proposes
It happens in a fancy restaurant
It happens on the balcony at the compound
She comes up behind him, resting her head against his shoulder
And Tony’s looking out into the distance
But Pepper is only looking at him
And she muses into his ear
“So, are you going to marry me or what?”
Tony has to laugh, because he’s been planning the perfect proposal for weeks
It’s been consuming him, eating into his sleep
In reality, nine little words on a balcony in upstate New York were all he ever needed
He’s not sure if she’s being serious at first, though
“Are you sure about this? Because I’ve got baggage, and a side gig that drives me crazy, and a best friend who isn’t going anywhere, and there’s that kid who won’t seem to leave me alone and… are you sure you want to cash all your chips in?”
Now Pepper is the one laughing
“I’m pretty sure I cashed my chips in ten years ago.”
And in a split second, the gravity of everything sets in
“We’re really going to do this, huh? God, there’s so much to do. Rhodey will kill me if he’s not my best man, of course, but that’s fine because I’m sure Happy will be more than content with terrorizing any potential wedding crashers. I’ll make Pete do the flower thing, because he’d lose those rings the second I made him a ring bearer–,”
Pepper puts a hand over his mouth
Pepper effectively shuts him up by stopping his mouth with her own
When she pulls away, he’s beaming at her
Even after all these years, she’s still not completely used to the intensity behind his gaze
Because some people wear their heart on their sleeve, but his has always been just past his eyes
“You’re a hopeless romantic, you know. A balcony, really? Don’t think I didn’t catch that reference.”
She wraps her arms around him, and his stubble on his chin bristles against her neck
“I barely even remember that night.”
Even though he can’t see her face, he knows she’s blushing
“You don’t remember almost kissing me on that balcony? And then trying to drink away the tension with a vodka martini, extra dry, extra olives? That ridiculous black dress with no back will be seared into my memory forever.”
Pepper doesn’t say anything for a second
And then, softly:
“My dress was blue.”
He moves back to look in her eyes, and the corner of his mouth tugs into a smile
“I know. I just needed you to admit that you are disgustingly sentimental.”
Pepper moves to smack him, but he catches her hand and holds it against him
His chest rises, stretching against the scar where his arc reactor used to rest
The thing that proved he had a heart
He didn’t need it anymore, though, because all the proof he ever needed was standing right there in front of him
Tony stayed out there on that balcony with her, watching the sky turn dark, not daring to leave until she did
Because he made that mistake once
And he was never, ever going to make it again.

“Remember who you are, Daenerys, … The dragons know. Do you?”
For my final #TargaryenThursdays I saved the best for last, the girl who started this all for me. Without Dany, I wouldn’t be here! I remember buying the books in 2012, a year after the first season had come out, and not having the motivation to start such a huge series. Then whilst scrolling here on tumblr, I found a gifset of this very smol girl with pale silver hair and I was so intrigued! (I started the first two seasons of Game of Thrones after that, then devoured the books and the rest is history!)
I started this drawing in January, and then suffered a motherboard failure, and thought I wouldn’t be able to get this back because I didn’t have the money to pay for a harddrive extraction. Then last week I taught myself how to do it on Youtube, and was able to start working on it again! I’m glad I am finally able to share this with everyone, and glad I was able to honor Daenerys in this way!
I’m hoping my girl makes it to the very end and lives to tell the tale, but regardless of what happens I am SO grateful that GRRM created such a fantastic female lead character in a fantasy series.
