Reactions and Reviews

One of my favorite fic series of all time is icarus_chained's Space Electric far future AU series

What I loved: As advertised, this is a space opera with Tony front and center. All the 1st phase MCU characters come out to play and Jarvis is fully developed and key player. Very very nice enemies to allies transitions and Tony is at his very BAMFiest and hyper-competent best. This is EVERYTHING I loved about IM1-era Tony with none of the bad, a dollop of Extremis awesome on top, and a supporting cast of OC’s that are done to perfection in their characterization and what they add to Tony’s story.
