Why this must be read:

Reading harmonyangel's Captain America fic is always a joy -- because she has such a thorough knowledge of the character and his history, and because she's obviously thought a lot about the conflicts and contradictions presented by that history. In this story, she examines Steve's transition from a shy, serious, artistic kid growing up in New York during the Depression, to the model supersoldier that he became in World War II. harmonyangel uses one skillfully envisioned, lyrically written scene set during Steve's childhood to represent all the things Steve Rogers leaves behind when he becomes Captain America -- including the possibility of a full acceptance of his own sexuality.
