I love your take on this 'verse; Steve of course, is Steve in any situation, and Natasha is so clearly Tony while also being very much a woman, with all of the problems that would entail for someone in the fields Tony runs in.
Steve's awkward overtures at friendship, all muddled up with a slightly confused attraction are perfect, as is Natasha's frustration and bitterness... and complete and total willingness to put that aside when confronted with Steve.
Also: He hadn't been in it since she'd come up with some sort of half-metal, half-cloth reinforcement for his costume and had insisted that he watch it be put through every test she could think of, including a small explosion that had garnered news coverage and a stern letter from the local fire marshal.
That is possibly the best description of how Tony's experiments tend to go, ever.
