Holy heavens! This was so freaking amazing and unique story that I almost embarrassed myself in the middle of my office place at four in the morning!
I am going to run outside for a smoke break to wipe the tears off my face because for couple hours (the ones I was putting a bit work in between chapters) I was taken to something absolutely beautiful and hopeful in a way that left me deeply touched.
Your version was a pretty unusual and so much different from canon at the same time the same story we all know by heart (minus usual Tony Stark behaviour)

Freakingtastic story!

Good ficlet!

wow rather interesting concept

This is a really nice story. Beautiful friendship between Steve and Tony. Great job.

SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO GOOOOOOOOOODDD

That was beautiful in all the right ways and I love it

I have to say, this is by far the most unique AU about Tony and Steve I've ever had the pleasure of readying, and I think it's also the best. Good job, very good, and a very nice take on how Tony would be without the billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist in "genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist."

This was adorable. I loved every moment.

I have no words to describe how much I freaking loved this fic.

Well, that may have been one of the cutest stories I have ever seen. I don't know entirely how to describe what I feeling right now and I think that's a good thing. I loved the way that you incorporated Banner. That , I think, was my favorite.

This is so damn great I can't even handle all of my emotions! Wow.

Right in da feels. This was a good one. Everyone seemed in character except, perhaps, Tony. Almost Tony. I think it hinged on the dialogue and posture. The broken and defeated genius was spot on, but Steve waxed the poetics a bit too much.

Either way, I did enjoy this puppy. The use of present tense was very effective. Thank you very much for sharing. I hope you continue writing. :)

Really beatiful story. I'm late to the party, but thoroughly enjoyed it. :). It walks the line between sad and suspenseful and saccharine so well. Thanks for sharing!

Very sweet. Well done.

this is just genius, and adorable, and so freakin perfect! I absolutely love this. Thank you, so so much for this wonderful story. I loved the subtle romance between Tony and Steve, and it was all just so beautiful. Well done.
