Wonderful ficlet. It would be even more wonderful if it included a sequel. A sequel with a higher rating than PG. Much higher. ;)
Agree with most of what you said, except for #5. Yeah, Tony's an ass, but me personally, I've always thought that he has a wonderful, kind, good-natured heart, even before Afghanistan. It was just hidden under layers of arrogance and self-importance and horniness. Spending so much time with Tony, in every kind of situation, I've always imagined that Pepper would come to see that heart and how good of a person he is deep down, and I don't think she'd question her judgement on that. :) Also, I've always thought Tony would have at least some clue that he had real feelings for Pepper before the blue dress. Maybe he wouldn't know that he's in love with her (though he always does in my fics), but some awareness.
