Someday, we swear we'll figure out how to get Steve and Tony dancing in formal wear into a fic, since we're convinced it would be meltingly romantic.
My brain went, "Wedding dance!" Which just goes to show how far the sap has infiltrated, because in my brain it was their wedding. *somewhat embarrassed* I never used to go for wedding fic, but I've turned into a hopeless sap. I kind of like being a hopeless sap, though. *g*
Steve is probably perpetually puzzled/irritated when people assume he'll be stuffy or easily shocked just because he grew up in the 30s -- people tend to think everything between WWI and the 1960s was like the fifties, with June Cleaver vacuuming the livingroom in heels and couples sleeping in seperate beds, and to forget that the 20s and 30s were a lot less conservative than that (and even the 50s were a lot less "stuffy respectability and conformity" than television portrays them as).
*nodding* People have always and probably always will romanticize the past. One of the interesting things we talked about in one of my sociology classes (Crime and Society, I think) was how people are constantly saying that the crime rate is so much worse and things used to be so much better etc. etc., but when you examine the statistics, it's not true! Crime rates have stayed pretty much the same, relative to population, and in some case have gone down quite a bit.
I highly recommend Immortal Iron Fist, despite my current feelings toward Brubaker and the fact that I'm lukewarm about Matt Fraction's writing in The Order.
Heh. fire_tears managed to suck me into reading Immortal Iron Fist in between the time I left this comment and now. :-) I'm enjoying it, so far. Danny isn't quite like I imagined him from the little reference I had, but I like him.
Fraction may not be very good at writing Tony Stark
Have you heard about the new Iron Man book Fraction is going to be writing? I'm not very well plugged in to the grapevine, so I heard via schmevil. It'll be interesting to see how it plays. Fraction sounds good when talking about Tony, but I know lots of folks have issues with how he wrote his appearances in The Order. I've only read the first trade of The Order, so I haven't got much of his writing of Tony to judge by (only three very brief appearances), so I'm reserving judgment for the moment. We'll see.
Oh good *smiles* We stuck it in because Coke being Steve's favorite soft drink because it's familiar just seemed inexplicably cute to us.

You know, it totally is inexplicably cute. *g*
