*SQUEE* Yay, I'm so glad you like my fill! Fantastic prompt, btw.

This is so sweet and a little heartbreaking at the same time.
That's what I was going for. I couldn't make it just angsty, I had to get Tony off the streets. Writing a fic where he was just an alcoholic homeless guy with PTSD from a war he officially was never part of ... I just couldn't write that. I had to give him the happy ending.

I love Thor bringing the inadvertant burn by pointing out the deficiencies in our culture that leave so many people falling through the cracks.
It's so true, though. There are a lot of indentured servants running around, not to mention outright slaves, in our culture, we just don't think of them as such for the most part.

And Tony just begging to stay... Oh, sweetie!
Yeah, the tone is pretty light but deep down, Tony is begging to be let to stay and saying he's fine with being called a slave so long as he gets food and a bed. It's kind of horrifying.

Thank you so much for writing this!
*blushes* Awww, you're welcome! I'm so glad you love it!

There's also a sequel/continuation, if you're interested:
