Note: in Captain America the movie, Steve was short as well as scrawny prior to the treatment, but in the comic origin he was tall, just really skinny & had multiple chronic health problems. Tall worked better for this fic, even though it's meant to be movie-version characters.
As part of my nefarious plan to attempt as many different fanfic genres/tropes for Iron Man as I can I decided to try a high school AU for Tony and Steve. I sifted through my random collection of googled bits hoping to find a spark. When I re-read an interview excerpt where Chris Evans (Steve Rogers) expressed his sincere (FANBOI) admiration for Robert Downey Jr.'s (Tony Stark) charisma, persona, etc. I said, YAY, acting school! So then I googled for the school of the Performing Arts in NYC (Fame, the movie & Fame, the TV series were based on it) and discovered to my utter joy that it eventually merged with a music and art school so Artist Steve and Actor Tony could very naturally meet! YAY, squared. I love it when a plan comes together.
