I started quoting my favorite parts but it started to become the entire fic so I stopped.
Hee! Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. More than a lot of other fics I've written, it went where it wanted and I didn't know where it was going to go next, so I'm glad it all made enough sense to be enjoyable I'm the end.
Aw! Don't worry, Steve. You'll meet Sam soon. And I'm sure Natasha would be open to hanging out more.
Sam and Letty were almost in this at one point, actually. There was going to be another POV swap to take place after Cap 2 with Steve coming to New York and using his apartment while he was there, with Sam along to maybe assist in the Bucky search or just hanging out. But it shifted the tone and point of the story to somewhere else, so I dropped it to maybe save for another day.
Both fics can be summed up as stories where Tony Tries to Make Friends By Giving Everyone an Apartment.
'I acquired/built material goods for you' is how the Stark Family express affection. I felt like for Bruce, Tony was providing open doors ('this is a place where you can be safe and come and go as you please and have no one keeping you here or using you for their bidding or chasing you away') and for Steve, Tony is trying to provide an anchor ('this is a place you can make like you want, whether it's nostalgic or modern, and in won't change and won't go away and you can depend on it being here'). So, it was fun to decide how Tony might express that with Stuff.
I also had a bit of fun designing what the apartments might look like before Avengers 2 perhaps shows us.
