Author’s summary:

 

Steve picks up the picture to be sure of what he saw, but there’s been no mistake. “It doesn’t even have a Navy stamp,” he says, turning the photo toward her. “What is this?”

 

“Are you asking me?”

 

“It looks like a pin-up.”

 

“Yes,” Natasha agrees. “It does.”

My notes:

 

This story is a great expansion from the very fun art that inspired it, and I especially like the slow reconnecting of the two and Steve’s coming to terms with what he didn’t know and how he should move forward.
