OMG, THIS FIC! Alternative/parallel universe fics are definitely one of my favorite types of fic to read, so I was hooked from the beginning. I loved the characterizations and how the characters are both similar and different in each of the ‘verses. My heart just hurt for 616!Tony having to deal with the fallout in his universe and then being dumped in the Noir!verse and then meeting Noir!Steve and falling in love with him… Oh boys! ;________; But seriously, I kind of secretly wanted Noir!Steve and 616!Tony to work out because they were just so lovely together and 616!Steve missed his chance! But yeah, I feel the worst for Noir!Steve since he only knows 616!Tony and he fell in love with him without any prior knowledge of Noir!Tony. I won’t lie, I kept looking at the scrollbar the further I got because I wanted it to continue on forever and I really wanted more from the Noir!verse and how things work out for Steve there. Good thing there’s a sequel coming! XD I can’t wait for September to read the Big Bang fics! \o/
