>> Love this! Love Tony in this, from his cranky muttering because Bucky's arm is NOT perfect enough, to mega tipping for great service, <<

Yay! I wanted to show how mercurial Tony is -- that's canon -- at the same time showing the improvements particular to this series.

>> to his hand holding Steve though working the crowed, Tony's really rocking in this whole fic taking care of Steve and Bucky. <<

Steve really needed the help, and dammit, he deserves to have proper coaching for things that people expect him to do, not just kicked into the deep end and told to swim. It's also another chance for Tony to do something he's really good at.

>> Also Steve's speech. Perfect. Smashed the crowed in the face with his....himness. That Captain America thing he does that makes everyone within hearing distance want to be a better person. <<

Yaaaaayyyyy! I am so glad this worked for you. Those Captain America speeches are so much the core of his character, it's crucial to get them right, but very challenging.

>> And I'm guessing who the guy at the VA is gonna be!<<

I couldn't resist. ;)
