Title: History Lessons (1/4)
Recipient: often_adamanta
Author: Memory Dragon (dragonofmemory)

A/N: I tried to be as spoiler-free as I could, but sometimes that wasn't possible due to clarity. I'm pretty sure you don't have to be familiar with the fandoms to understand, however. Also, a standard disclaimer: The opinions of the characters do not necessarily reflect my own, and on most accounts, I tried to give multiple view points based on what I thought their characters would like. Except for Adric. I'm sorry, Adric fans, but everyone else really does hate him. I'm fairly sure no one will notice my intense loathing of the movie 300 though, which I consider an accomplishment.

Also, a note on the UST. You said you wanted them to fall in love slowly... Well, see the UST over there? Yup, that's a snail going ten times faster. In 33k, I'm not sure if this really even made it to pre-slash. Hopefully you won't mind too much.
Thanks: Many, many thanks to my betas, one of which stayed up till 8 am to finish her second read-through. You're crazy with your all-nighters, but I love you all the same.
Original Prompt: Tony catching Steve up on the television he missed
Things you'd like to see: falling in love slowly, steve surprising people with his knowledge of movie/television, the team teasing them about "date night"
Things you don't want: steve being homophobic or extremely naive
Word Count Over 33k. Sorry. I apparently couldn't write a simple trope prompt without making things complicated.
Summary: Steve hates modern television shows and history. Tony is determined to remedy both of those, provided they can survive each other.
