This fic was irresistible from the summary alone because there's not enough Young Avengers fic in the world and the idea of them interacting with Tony was awesome.
I wasn't prepared for just how much the story would emotionally affect me, though, and while I usually hunt for happy, OTP endings, I really loved this take on the future. I'm kind of twiddling my thumbs and waiting for Steve to come back to life in Marvel U right now, because it'd be hard to accept if he never did, but I love your take because it's not a fix-it, but there's still some wonderful closure.
My favorite part, other than the Teddy/Billy because I'm biased, is Tony taking care of Shannon and becoming her father almost in place of Steve, because you know Steve would be incredibly proud, and it's great that Shannon can give Tony the same hope her father did. That he resolved things with Sharon so that they can both be parental figures to Shannon, and acknowledge that is also perfect And I'm so, so glad no strange, angsty romance was involved. Steve bound them together, and that was enough for both of them.
