I loved this chapter for the character perspective on Tony.
>>Tony rubbed at his forehead, his hand coming away covered in ash and the grey dust of pulverized concrete. The world was almost as much of complete and utter mess as Stark Tower, and he had no idea where to even start trying to fix it.
I like the way the mess he's trying to navigate is like the wreck of his life. Very symmetrical.
And all of these wonderful character details:
>>They said he'd been buried with military honors, which meant something, but he wasn't sure what. Possibly only that Tony had felt guilty.
...makes this such a professional presentation.
Also, the way the interplay between Steve, Bucky and Sharon played out gave a newbie reader so much insight into the history behind these characters. I haven't read a Marvel Comic or Civil War in 20 years but I found you incorporated everything I needed to know contextually. Really, you deserve big ups for that feat alone. Almost no one has that type of attention to detail in a slash comics story. Everyone focuses on the *relationship* ourside of context, because that's so much easier.

So, bravo!
