In the 'Steve Compares Tony to Howard' fanfiction, how does Steve's comparison affect their relationship?

Steve might compare Tony to Howard based on their personalities or leadership styles. Maybe he points out similarities or contrasts in their decision-making.

Well, sometimes Steve might compare their leadership styles or the way they handle challenges.

In the fanfiction, Steve leaving Tony for Bucky could also make Tony more guarded in future relationships. He might be less likely to trust people easily, especially those who were close to Steve. And Steve, on the other hand, might be focused on building his relationship with Bucky, leaving little room for any kind of reconciliation with Tony.

Steve being Tony's godfather could have a huge impact on Tony's life. Steve's old - fashioned values would contrast with Tony's more modern and sometimes self - centered ways.

Maybe Steve misses Howard. Howard was his friend from the past, and he sees some similarities in Tony that remind him of Howard. It could also be that Steve thinks Tony has the potential to be as great as Howard was in certain aspects like leadership or scientific genius.

It could be that Steve has a certain image of himself and his interactions with Tony. Fanfiction often takes creative liberties and might show scenarios that go against his principles or how he views their bond.

At first, it might be a bit rocky. Tony, being used to his own space, might feel smothered by Steve and Bucky's over - protectiveness. But as time goes on, he'll start to see their good intentions. Steve's moral compass will inspire Tony to be a better person, and Bucky's loyalty will make Tony feel secure. Eventually, they'll become like a real family, with Tony looking up to Steve as a father figure and seeing Bucky as a cool older brother.
