♥ Thank you so much! Steve's Not!Gay is just... oi. I hope he'll develop slowly, but he's so indoctrinated and determined that "slowly" may end up being like cold molasses.

I adore my OCs and am not ashamed to admit it.. :D I'm thrilled that they worked so well for you too!

I definitely hope to play in this one again; I left some plot threads hanging, and Tony/Steve have a long way to go. But right now, I'm trying to get through other fic commitments. Here's hoping!

Thank you again for the lovely review. ♥
