vr_trakowski: (Advent wreath)

December 8

The music is Trans-Siberian Orchestra's A Mad Russian's Christmas.

Fandom: Iron Man, Tony/Pepper
Prompt: Holiday Muzak




Pepper had never heard Tony play like this before; music poured from the baby grand, augmented and embellished by what sounded like an orchestra forcing itself through Jarvis’ speakers. Tchaikovsky on speed.

When he’d wrung the last note out and silence fell, Pepper stepped forward to touch his shoulder. Tony’s eyes were dark with pain as he looked up at her, and on the music stand she saw an old, faded Advent calendar, half the doors torn off and fixed with yellowed tape. The date at the top was 1979.

“I miss them,” he said, and she could only nod.

Sad but lovely. And TSO is beyond awesome. Have you ever been to one of their concerts?

Thanks for sharing this drabble. The season really can be an emotional mess... *wants to cuddle tony*

No, I've never had the pleasure. Maybe someday...

Thanks! I feel pretty bad for him myself. :P
