There Was A Boy, A Bitter Boy, Whose Golden Heart I Saw Gleaming

[masterofmidgets]

No one I know at the moment ships any comics fandom, and that makes me sad, because it means none of my friends will be able to appreciate the fact that I just found on my playlist a song that pretty much perfectly sums up the Tony/Sentient Armor pairing. Well, from the POV of the armor, at least - from Tony's POV, and the audience's, there is not so much sympathy for the armor as HOLYFUCKABUSIVEBOYFRIEND (except at the end where Tony goes all Stockholm Syndrome...)

The Bitter Boy by Kate Rusby

There was a boy, a bitter boy,
Whose golden heart I saw gleaming.
I thought I'd win the heart within,
But now I know that I was dreaming.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

And then the boy, the bitter boy,
He came to me for rest and healing.
He reached in his chest, deep in his breast,
Held out the heart for me stil gleaming.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

And then the boy, me and the boy,
We walked for miles through stormy weather.
And hand in hand, we roamed the land,
And held the gleaming heart together.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until I know I can't conceal it.
Because I hold the saddest song,
I wish to God I cannot feel it.

Then the boy, the bitter boy,
He came to take the gleaming treasure.
He reached in my chest, deep in my breast,
And took the gleaming heart forever.

But I will rise, and I will sing,
Until the day I can't conceal it.
And then I'll sing the saddest song,
And wish to God you cannot hear it.

Oh, then I'll sing the saddest song,
I wish to God you cannot hear it.

Poor armor...It loves you, Tony! It only wants to protect you! It's doing this for your own good, you know!

If you have no idea whatsoever what on earth I'm talking about...check out this link to see Tony Stark's armor become sentient, fall in love in with him, and then turn into the abusive boyfriend from hell. Because there is no crack like canon crack! and Marvel has no shame
