This has to be one of the best takes on J.A.R.V.I.S. that I have read. It is a series of 10 short stories that cover his inception to far in the future. There are links to other shorts Is it any surprise that a man who thinks that "learning to run before walking" would plan to make his AI self reliant. It is not until J.A.R.V.I.S. must step into to protect Tony that the others began to realize that he is more then an intelligent butler/secretary. The reactions of the team to this is funny and the scene between him, Tony, Pepper and Bruce is hilarious. The ending is poignant and shows just how much the team valued him and his creator and that their trust was not misplaced.

Awesome story, epic length, great characterization and one of the best descriptions of a war's effect on people that I have ever read. In this story Loki is not pulled from the Void by Thanos and instead spends seven years existing in hell before literally falling at the feet of Tony Stark. Tony watches unable to save the figure falling through the sky through the roof of his house and expects to find a dead body. Instead he sees a skin covered skeleton clothed in rags impaled with glass covered in blood but still alive. He realizes looking into blank eyes that the person has withdrawn mentally. He decides to honor what Yinsen did for him. The author takes the events in the Marvel movies and changes them in a way to be believable. Some events still happen just to different people and for different reasons. Without the invasion of New York Thor never comes back and it is Loki that in the end joins the Avengers.
Loki has becomes so dependent on the one man that he feels that he can trust that when he almost loses him decides to make sure that never happens. The consequences of those actions are far reaching. Events build up to the invasion by Thanos and the author concentrates more on the people and their reaction to impending war then on the action itself. However don't worry there is much action, angst, drama, misunderstandings, stupidity, pride and a bond of friendship that will survive anything even immortality. A warning there are major character deaths that had me crying but in the real world you lose people in a war. I cannot recommend this story enough. I started it and could not stop finishing it in 2 1/2 days mainly because I did nothing else
