“I was reading online about different things to do,” Maria says excitedly, pulling out the travel binder she takes with them anytime they go on a vacation. It will be filled with information about local attractions, restaurants, theatre and musical venues and what is playing.First of all, the whole Tony/Rhodey pairing is so minor that if you blink you will miss it. Just had to start with that cuz I almost missed it.
“There’s a wax museum--”
“It’s probably awful,” Tony says.
“And a Natural History museum--”
“Oh please god no,” Howard says.
“And, oh, look at this one! I think you’ll both be interested in this one!” Maria says, rooting around in the binder, then pulling her hand up to reveal an extended middle finger.
They spend the rest of the car journey finding ways to surreptitiously flip each other off. Howard pulls a middle finger out of his coat pocket; Tony finds a middle finger up his nose; Maria finds another middle finger in her purse and applies it to her lips like lipstick.
Tony's parents take him to Ireland as a graduation present--Tony does what he does best and gets into trouble. But this time he might not manage to get out of it.
The other part is how I kinda tried to read a book about a story like this. Not exactly like this but the guidelines were almost the same. And this fic was actually better than that book. I gave up the book after three chapters or so.
Anyways. The rules of the fairy world are weird. It is even weirder when they try to go around the rules just to fuck with others. And it kinda gets weird but it still keeps all that excitement and the story stays on track. Which was good. Even the ending was pretty awesome and the reason behind it was even more awesome.
The best part of this fic was how everything had a reason. There was a reason why not to say thank you, why not tell your name, why not to name things, why not to eat fairy food etc etc etc. And it didn't get to that point where you can't keep track of things or you are just what the fuck is going on. No. This kept all the beans in the pot. Or what the fuck is the saying.
Anyways. Fairies! That are gods in the movies/comics. But still fairies and fairy world and everything like that. Just wicked awesome. Ha.
