Why this must be read:
After contracting an Asgardian virus, Tony starts forgetting things. And people. And Steve.
This is a long, complex, fascinating read. What I love about this story is that a good deal of it happens in Asgard, but not just the shining city but the outer areas. There is a sense of world building here that lets you get completely immersed.
When Tony looks at Steve, he thinks: speed, velocity, pressure, hydraulics, kinematic chains. He thinks of the precise angle of Steve's wrist to his forearm when he makes a fist; he thinks of the dance of Steve's fingers, forming kinetic energy from an inertial frame of reference.
When he's sober, Tony thinks too much.
"You want to play Animal Crossing?" Tony asks.
Steve grins. "Yes."
Animal Crossing is the latest part of Clint's plan to distract Steve from noticing the increasingly suspicious packages that strange men deliver in the middle of the night, packages that may or may not involve the little garden Clint is growing on the roof of the Avengers Mansion. Tony doesn't give a fuck, but the last time Steve asked Clint curiously to see the state of his daffodils, Clint had shoved a Wii controller in Steve's hands and said, "Look, training simulations!" And it'd worked.
Steve loves gardening his little patch, and buying wallpaper for his little house, and chatting with his little animal friends more than some Buddhists love Nirvana. It's the most hilarious thing Tony has ever seen, Steve with his big broad shoulders hunching over his controller, tongue poking out of his mouth as he determinedly picks out his character's newest hairstyle. Steve's Animal Crossing character has a goatee and spends most of his time trawling town in a three-piece suit, which is only appropriate because his character is named Tony Jr., a fact from which Steve seems to derive an endless amount of amusement.
"Tony Jr. is broke," he declares, leaning back on the couch. "He's spent his last bell paying his mortgage to Tom Nook." He toggles the screens. "Tony Jr. has to wear a paper sack now. He's very sad, you see."
"Steve, you are the meanest third-grader I've ever met, and that includes Johnny Oh, who used to stick glue and spiders in my hair. At the same time," Tony informs him. "If you need more money, I'll hack the game and give you some."
