I love this. It isn't something that is often adressed (for what I've read, it is in some Ult!verse stories, but never as the main focus), and I love how you handled it.
I especially love how Tony cares too much to let it go and is responsible enough to realize that sex won't cut it, but that it would take time to overcome the ingrained prejudice. Also, Steve is very much a sweetheart in this, and my heart broke a little at his explanation <3.

Beautiful fic! You did a great job dealing with the issue.

So, so sweet, and I love how it isn't all just resolved with a snap of fingers but with actual, slow and steady talking and doing.

This was great! I feel like this is an issue that's not often addressed in fandom, 'cause even assuming Steve thought of himself as gay growing up, the stigma isn't something that one just gets over instantly, even for ~Tony Stark~. So thanks. :D

This is a great fic. It is well written, with good characterization, etc. But to me, that's not what makes it great. Rather, it's the way that you handled this issue, which is so often brushed aside, but which is actually really important. Thank you for taking it on.
