I'm now totally convinced that Iron Man, or more exactly, the Iron Man fandom, has a very, very bad, corrupting influence on me.
Firstly, I've taken up reading mature fics. I never ever did that before. When I spent time in the Stargate SG-1 fandom, I was a huge fan of Jack/Daniel friendship and hurt/comfort, enjoyed gratuitous smarm, but as soon as it got slashy and even the least bit adult, I looked away instantly. Such stuff just made me feel uncomfortable. But now, here I am, reading and loving Tony/Pepper bits that are NC-17, and even crossover slash and whatnot, just because it looks interesting. Ok, maybe I'm a bit older now, have seen and done more stuff myself, but still, it's a bit disturbing.
Secondly, and more importantly: I just wrote the opening lines of a crossover slash fic that I've been thinking about for some time - actually, ever since I wrote chapter 3 of Iron & Irony and these lines:
Tony glared at House for a while longer, a dark look that, if looks could kill, would've been a nuclear bomb. House stared back, his icy blue eyes challenging, unyielding.
I mean, there's so much snark and electricity there. So yes, I am seriously planning on writing a bit of Tony/House slash. Definitely won't be writing sex scenes, I don't think I'd know how to even if I wanted to. But anyway, I'm really shocked at myself. Argh. I must be going nuts.
