Why this must be read:

Short, sharp, and lovely look at Steve falling for Natasha, starting with the moment she uses his shield as a springboard in the movie. Nicely characterized, with a palpable sense of longing and a hint at reciprocation.

"It could be fun," she'd said, smiling and terrified, and he'd tossed her up onto the back of a damned flying alien vehicle.

Later, in the stillness of the aftermath, he'd looked at her and saw bruises forming on her cheek and knew there must be a dozen more in places he couldn't see. She ate her shwarma in silence and said, "What's next?" when they finished.

Steve thinks Natasha Romanoff is the most impressive girl he's ever met.
