Catches tigers in red weather.

Last Tuesday I went to the Texas State Aquarium with my brother, my mom, mom's boyfriend P, and like a million elementary students in neon colored t-shirts. Just our luck, we picked a field trip day.

At first we all stuck together, but then I had to go buy myself some batteries from the giftshop, so my brother and I went off on our own afterward. And, as some twins are apt to do, we went off into our own little world as well; at one point we were imitating stingrays until we realized, hey, we're in public. Not that that stopped us from giggling to each other the entire time. We also spent quite a bit of time by the sea turtle tank watching Koopa Troopa, a rescued turtle who looked exactly like that enemy from the Mario games. ...Okay, so his real name was Lucky, but seriously. His face was just like a Koopa Troopa. XD

× mekosuchinae has been writing ficbits for Iron Man and AHHHH they are so incredibly awesome and I've reread each one more than once with this giddy smile on my face. Somehow she has taken my favorite part of the film, those interactions between Tony and Pepper, and created these moments that feel so true to the characters. All of her Tony/Pepper prompts have been indexed in this post (my personal favorite being Four Color Glory)
