Why this must be read: In few words, and with almost no action,posyvanilla draws an intricate picture of Steve Rogers' complex, contradictory and changing attitudes towards Tony Stark. Thoughts, feelings and memories are knit together as Steve oscillates between respect, dislike, sympathy, and the faintest hint of desire. The short story is full of contrasting images, reflecting Steve's internal conflicts: Steve's childhood poverty versus Tony's wealth; Steve's longstanding dislike of alcohol with its "bitter tang", and the day he discovered his mother was a secret drinker, versus Tony's unapologetic alcoholism. Even his unappealing breakfast cereal, "soggy bits of bran flakes," sits in contrast to the beauty of a glass of Tony's whiskey left standing on the kitchen table: "a prism of color arched its back over the rim of the glass, and below, streaks of amber shadowed over the wooden table and the edges of Steve's fingers."
