"I'd rather have us as friends and invincible than in a relationship and regretting it." Tony and Pepper decided a relationship between them wouldn't work. Still neither can really let go. Tony is persistent, Pepper reluctant. NO Endgame spoilers. Rated M in future chapters. Song inspired. SLOW BURN, you've been warned. Set after IM2 and the rooftop kiss never happened.

After a freak accident, Tony and Pepper find themselves stranded in a remote cabin in the woods in a blizzard. It isn't the way either of them intended to spend the Christmas holiday, but can they make it work, and, therefore, make it a Christmas neither of them will ever forget? Very AU. And very fluffy, with a pinch of angst thrown in for interest.

He had always been terrified of this thing, which he now looked at in awe because the only thing he now felt towards it was love. Tony/Pepper.

What if Pepper had been with Tony when he was kidnapped? How would it impact their friendship, not to mention a potential relationship with him? And would being Tony Stark get in the way? Rated M for sensitive material.

She couldn't believe she was going to do this. It was hard enough asking for favors when it was work related, but it was a whole new ball game when it was a personal favor. She knew he'd never agree, but it is worth a shot asking. Nevertheless is she shocked at the response.

Tony got drunk, it changes things.

After an accident, Tony and Pepper find themselves depending on each other in a way they never expected.
