Author's Note I: Written for challenge 14 over on its_always_been. Instead of one story with three cities, I chose to write three stories, they'll be very loosely related, but are completely readable as standalones. For this story I used New York and Montreal.
Author's Note II: Thanks to the wonderful soundingsea for the beta!

Author's Note II: For whatever reason, I couldn't get on to AO3 by using my netbook at home and this is the first chance at work I've had.

At any rate, thanks again to the wonderful soundingsea for the beta.

Author's Note II: Surely by now soundingsea must be sick of all the words I send her, but she's amazing and gets back my betas so quickly. Thanks again! Words are not enough, and gods know I have plenty or words. ;)

Summary: The need to be alone with her, without the skeletons of a half-destroyed city, the broken bones of buildings and scorched overpasses a reminder at every turn of how close they came to losing, is powerful and more than a little selfish.

Any graphically-inclined people out there feel the yen to make 'Avengers' icons and want to do some Tony and Pepper ones, I would love to snag some.

Author's Note II: Thanks, as always, to the amazing soundingsea. You guys should see the sheer number of *;pages* she turned around last weekend, and that was on top of it being her birthday.

Author's Note II: At some point the fantastic soundingsea will politely ask me to take a long walk off a short pier if I ask her to beta, but fortunately for me, this fic was not the tipping point.

I've finished writing the whole thing and am going back and forth with Sea on various chapters. It's pretty long and I should be getting a chapter out once, if not twice a week.
