Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you enjoyed. I like stories where one character isn't even in it, but really it's alllll about them anyway. It's easy to do with Tony because on multiple levels, he wouldn't be where he is if it weren't for Steve. So it works for Steve too, because he's kind of got the fire-and-ice thing down pat.

Poor Tony. I was going back through old Iron Man issues a week or so ago, and in retrospect it's easy to see the long fall. Man, he was coming apart well before Avengers Disassembled.
