And to think that I initially thought 'not another vampire fic'.
Started reading this late at night, had to break for that pesky thing called sleep, then had to endure twelve hours of snatches between work breaks before I can lock myself in my home library, leaving my poor hubby outside, and just curl up and finish this already. God damn this is good.
Tony is still very Ultimate!Tony but his vulnerability kind of reminds me of 616!Tony, and I liked this Steve a lot more than I usually like Ultimate!Steve (even if his notgay!denial wants me to hit him in the head. Has he never heard of bisexual before?). And surprisingly, because most badguy!vampires in fics and even in a lot of books and movies are one-dimensional cutouts that are just there for the audience to boo and hiss and cheer when they get killed gruesomely by the heroes, Ezrabet is most definitely not one. She's still a psychotic, twisted sadist, unscrupulously ambitious, but that's not all she is. The scenes with her memories and Cecilia made her a rounded and well fleshed out character, I wish I could write original characters that well.
And because I'm a hc whore, Tony's scene with Ezrabet in the cell hits the spot :p.
Great job, and hopefully you'll continue to write in this universe.
