Summary: Jarvis (the human one) is visiting Tony for the weekend. Pepper has warned the Avengers that Jarvis never approves of anybody except for Rhodey, but the gang takes that as a challenge to do their best to impress him. Rhodey himself isn’t particularly looking forward to the weekend, for reasons that are related to the fact that Jarvis is always pushing him to make an honest man out of Tony, despite the fact that they aren’t actually together.
Recommendation: This is most definitely not James D'Arcy!Jarvis, he’s a little more Alan Quartermain, like he’d be at home shouting big game in Africa rather than butlering in New York City, which I’ll admit is a little terrifying. Everybody’s trying to hard to win his approval and seriously failing. Rhodey might be the only one Jarvis approves of, but he feels like he’s failing himself. Jarvis redeems himself by helping Rhodey and Tony work out their issues.
