Nutcracker

[vr_trakowski]

Last year cincoflex and I had a really great idea. Due to NaNoWriMo and other considerations, it didn't get finished until now. I'm going to be boastful and say...I think it was worth the wait. *grin* It is always a privilege and a pleasure to write with such a talented, warm-hearted author, who very generously let me have my own way in almost every point in this story. And she made the banner, which I consider to be one of her best. Thank you, love.

Nutcracker is Iron Man, rated G, and available at her site or mine.

Oh, VR! Oh, Cinco! That was lovely...just...lovely.

How you managed to take them back nearly 30 years and still keep them in character...wow...just wow. So beautiful and so touching. I am overwhelmed.

Thank you! :D We're pretty proud of this one, I'll admit. And thank you for commenting at both our journals. You are amazingly considerate!

I did review on your site Cino but let me tell you both, it was WELL worth the wait. What a gem! I can almost hear another lock crack open around Peppers heart where Tony's concerned at the end of this fic.
Lovely!

Thank you! We had a blast writing it, definitely! *grin*

This was a WONDERFUL treat to read over the weekend...well crafted, believably told and not too sugary - which some prequal-type fic can sometimes be. Not to mention, I now have the Nutcracker Soundtrack stuck in my head. ;p I love how you tied past to present with such delicately balanced strings.

Out of curiousity are you a dancer yourself? (either of you) This definitely had the feel of someone who knows the world of ballet intimitly...

Thank you! :D We did try to keep it realistic, heh.

Cinco was in classes as a kid, briefly IIRC; I took one as a small critter and barely remember anything. We boned up using books. English majors, you know...we do our research (most of the time!).
