Freeway, Chapter Seven

[et2brute.livejournal.com]

Title: Freeway, Chapter Seven
Rating: This chapter is PG-13.
Summary: Tony's room goes dim as a cloud passes over the sun, casting the city outside in shadow. In the sudden gloom, Pepper's shoulders cut severe lines all the way down to the slim knots of her hands. The treasure's melted away: she doesn't glitter at all. There's nothing left but the brittle crystals of her eyes, shining in the semi-darkness like broken bottles. The really shitty breakup chapter.
Warnings: Infidelity.  Gore.  Tony being incredibly horrible and selfish.
Notes: This is part three, chapter seven of the Stone series. 3bird is my amazing beta, as always.
