Oh, this is a delight. A good historic fic, drawing on the vibrancy of the era, is a wonderful treat. This one in particular focuses on WWII-era LGBT figures in New York. A glimpse into a world I never knew and all that.

Also, it’s a pre-serum Steve being attractive, which is something I’ve seen rarely. I’ve seen “Steve reverts to his old self, but his partner still loves him,” or partner loved him before the serum, and still loves him now,“ but this is a fic where an outside character finds Steve attractive, and there’s no mention of the serum’s effects at all. It’s just really sweet.
