Huh.

I just figured out part of the reason why Tony Stark fascinates me: he's got an awful lot in common with Miles Vorkosigan.  Manic energy, genius, quirky humor, impulsiveness, charm, drive, the ability to not only see the impossible solution but make it happen--it's all there.  Of course, there are major differences too, but I was rereading my favorite bits of Komarr last night and the similarities kept piling up. 

Fortunately, perhaps, Pepper isn't much like Ekaterin.  But now my brain is pondering what a meeting between Miles and Tony would be like, despite the completely irreconcilable universes.  Really, irreconcilable.  No suggestions, please.  >_<

On a side note, has it really been over a decade since Komarr got published?  I hit the last couple of pages and remembered whooping over a couple of sentences--the "take a number and get in line" and the "the next number up is one" lines specifically--and realized that I'd been staying up late to finish the book, reading in bed...at my parents' house.  Prior to finally moving out.  Somehow that one always feels newer to me. 

Ah, Miles.  *hearts*  But I still love his father best. 

Huh.
