Recs and Reviews
"So, normally I wouldn’t rec Sam-fic, because while I love everything he writes with the fiery passion of a thousand suns, I tend to assume everyone’s read it already. But! This one just went up today, and it’s, just, ugh. It’s so real it aches (mind the warnings, on that front), and the picture it paints of Steve in particular is exquisite. Just. God, yes. Read at once."[1]
This is a wonderful piece of fanfiction. The author offers you a unique look into Captain America as he grieves and wishes to return to his time. I loved this because I haven’t really found anything exploring Steve’s grief for Peggy and Bucky’s deaths quite at this level. Steve is suicidal in a passive-aggressive way and it’s Tony’s job to fix it. This is really wonderfully written.[2]
Lets be honest the story is amazing it's more honest view on how people grieve. And how canon kinda pisses me off they expect Steve to be fine and be happy to be here while his world and every one he loved is gone. So yeah this fic is a little honest than canon this matter--my only complaint is that it's not longer.[3]
A great character study of Steve's adjustment to modern times, and Tony helping him deal with it all. It made me cry, it made me grin... definitely worth reading.[4]
This was painful to read. It was also so very wonderful. There's no sad ending here, folks, so don't let that stop you from enjoying this REMARKABLE story.[5]
