Derek never imagined it like this. He expected it to happen suddenly or not at all. It never occurred to him he would fall in love slowly.

Eve Moneypenny believes Q's in danger. She sees him fall into the flames which he can't escape. Q is tired and angry, because she's wrong. And James? Well, he just wants Q to be happy. Is it so hard to believe, Eve?

As Tony stands near a dark window he thinks about the things he's done. When Loki finally comes (as expected, of course) they talk about fears. It seems they're both afraid to fall, the god more than the man. A SEQUEL/COMPANION TO WAITING FOR YOUR ENEMY (you can find THE THIRD FINAL CHAPTER Agreement fulfilled on AO3, Im sugarpanties there - fanfic . net thinks its too hardcore :D)

In which I wanted to take things slowly, the characters didn't listen, but are still sweet. Or the one where Thor brings Loki back, he acts like a sane person and everybody seems to like him. Some more than others... M in the later chapters

Even though Tony's waiting for Doom (and he's pretty sure, he won't show up, that bastard), he meets the other enemy. However, he's never seen Loki in dress, so of course he has to take him to the dance floor.

Will wasn't surprised not even scared, because it finally made sense.
