Great story. Steve is such a thoughtful guy, and he hides what he feels. Thanks for bringing it out.

My favorite line: "He had always been defined by his physical self, and felt alone in it, alone in his weakness and alone in his strength." Excellent.

This is so beautiful! I think I'll check out Leaves of Grass from the library when I go there tonight.

God damn it, this is gorgeous!

Wow, that was absolutely wonderfully written. Very thought provoking and meaningful. Pepper really is quietly awesome (I hope Tony realizes how lucky he is!) :) She knew just what Steve needed to help him be a little more at peace with himself :)

Once again, well done, my friend!

Ps. You have inspired me to write my own Steve story, I hope it does justice once I'm brave enough to post it, haha!

Thank-you that was lovely.
