Fic: Meet Virginia
Title: Meet Virginia
Author: carrole
Rating: K+
Length: ~5800 words
Disclaimer: This piece is in no way associated with Marvel, Newsweek, Vanity Fair, Cosmopolitan or their respective companies.  I also issue my apologies to Jim Cramer for putting words in his mouth.
A/N: This story was inspired by the completely and utterly fantastic "The Kids Aren't All Right" by M, which got me thinking abut the format of a news article.  Anyone who hasn't read it should.  Secondly, [info]mariemjs and her incredible art skills with this Newsweek cover gave me the magazine for this article.  If you're reading this, I'd like your permission to write a fic based on that cover.
Summary: If behind every great man there’s a woman, it doesn’t take long for anyone familiar with Stark Industries (NYSE – SIA) to realize that the woman behind Tony Stark is Virginia Potts.

Follow the fake cut

This was great. I like reading the newsarticle format, though I would have enjoyed pictures too. I like how strongly you write Pepper and the observation of the dynamic between them. Usually in stories you are in either Tony or Pepper's head and here you are seeing it through slightly unbiased eyes. It is great.
I hope Pepper crushes Everhart's will to live.
This was a terrific fic that I enjoyed greatly. Thanks.

I read the other 'article' you recommended and loved it for its ability to bring Tony to life. I loved yours for its ability to bring Pepper to life. You did an incredible job giving her a voice. I am sitting here thinking she is a real person after reading that. Truly wonderful.
