(First Impressions Are) A Work in Progress
Steve Rogers/Tony Stark
Tony has a point system for the times he can get Steve to be less than perfect.
At various points, this fic was also titled: "The Corruption of Captain America by Tony Stark", "Tony's Superpower Is Being An Asshole", "Tony Stark Just Needs A Hug Dammit", "Steve Is Stubborn And Will Make Tony His BFF If It's The Last Thing He Does", and "I Accidentally A Cap Character Study via Tonyfeels". I feel like that collection of titles gives you an idea of the degeneration of this thing, plot-wise, and also a much better summary of this fic than the actual summary.

3 stars!
I’m not into the Marvel Universe at all, I haven’t seen a single movie and I have no idea about the characters and their dynamics. I have to admit that I read this one out of pure curiosity. I googled the characters and I really liked the approach this story took. I enjoyed finding out about who they are and I found the attraction between Steve and Tony quite credible. I might check out some other stories in this fandom.

Minus a star because of the coffee pot thing. It was petty and SO NOT Tony's style. Tony may be an asshole, but he isn't that petty.
From that accident, it was a struggle for this fic to win me over. But it did.

Really, totally loved this one. Tony Stark is such a deliciously snarky, deflecting bastard. All the <3.

some favorite quotes because i have no words, only that this was amazing and beautiful and i loved it.
Tony lowers them down onto the roof with an, "Aye aye, Cap," and adds a bonus slap on Steve's ass for good measure.
Steve squawks, "RED LIGHT," and Tony laughs so hard he nearly falls off the building and onto a termite the size of a tank.
Thor is surrounded by women, and from what Tony's seen the guy hasn't stopped talking all night—from the snippets Tony's caught, Thor's topics of conversation are: flattering the women by saying they're fine examples of Midgardian beauty, stories about battle, Asgardian drinking songs, and of course, Jane, which makes them all coo and gather around in a semi circle. Tony thinks they're moments from braiding each other's hair.
"So Captain America likes a challenge."
Steve snorts and doesn't look up from his sketchbook. "I'm friends with you, aren't I?"
sometimes the only person I give a damn about is you, and I still want to strangle you. And maybe force you to eat some real food, something besides scotch and coffee."
Steve pokes him, which he can feel through the armor, how does he even do that?

Not bad, but not really unique.
Some Favorite Quotes:
Twenty minutes later, Tony is hauled into Fury's office.
"Stark! Explain to me why I just had to have the 'birds and bees in the twenty-first century' talk with a national icon."
Five minutes after they've met, and it's a shouting match. And sure, that's about 95% Tony's fault, because that's what he does, he pushes buttons to see what they do, what gears they grind.
"Y'know what, nevermind. This is my own problem, I'll just--well, no, I won't deal with it, because that's not how I roll. But whatever, it'll be fine."
"Tony... the suit is nothing without you."

The tittle is pretty good, though.
