Reader
No one would think that Tony Stark is the man who has a whole floor of his 5th Avenue Mansion turned into a library.
Tony has his e-reader that he hates because it's still missing the vital points: the sound of paper, the scent of printing ink, the possibility to doodle and write on the margins in pencil, the breathtaking process of aging, making the pages turn yellow, making the corner of the cover creased and soft…
He used to have many favorites over the years, but there is one book that he remembered from his childhood one time and it got stuck in his head because it's uncannily fitting.
The Brothers Lionheart, a children's book – Tony would never admit this to anyone but he loves it because it's the story of his life, in a way. The characters die and become new people, but the world they are thrown into is bad, so they decide to make themselves yet newer people to finally get it right.
Tony almost dies in the cave and becomes a new man, then he almost dies again to become a superhero, finding his right way in it. The only differences are horses and cherries.
A/N: Sorry if the ending doesn't make much sense, but I couldn't stop myself form a reference :) If you haven't read the book, it's really really a must!
