*nods* Living in India, I can definitely empathize a little with Steve's whole man-out-of-time thing- there's a HUGE amount of cultural references that y'all in the West take for granted that I wouldn't have the first clue about, and I'm pretty Westernized as it is.
India? Wow. I'm used to the Internet being awesomely internation, but I think this is the first time I've run into someone living in India.
I could see it starting out completely platonic- say, with Tony going on about how much more convenient emails are, and Steve pointing out that he's never received an old-fashioned letter in his life, so how would he know? And the whole thing just going from there.
I had it in my mind as an established relationship kind of thing, but you know, I think I could make it work as a first time fic, too. *g* With the letters slowly growing more personal, more intimate, both of them revealing things in text that it just wouldn't come to them to say in a normal conversation, and then the letters start trending into romantic areas... So sweet.
*pokes* It's all your fault, really. You added me to your fic-in-progress filter, and after that I decided there was no point fighting it.
*laughs* I'm happy to take the blamecredit blame. *g*
Funnily enough, I *still* don't like Marvel, especially Civil War and its aftermath.
I love Marvel and I don't like Civil War and its aftermath, either. *wry*
Steve and Tony in my head exist in a happy little AU where CW did not happen, Steve is still alive, and Tony is- well, he can't NOT be messed up and still be Tony, but I like to think he's on the saner side of messed up.
Hee! We're all right there in the happy AU with you. :-) :-) And hey, being with Steve really helps Tony be on the saner side of messed up!
