This was a really interesting look at Steve's waking up from his own point of view. My favorite line was definitely this part:

"You're a national treasure, right up there with Martin Luther King and JFK."

Steve stares at him blankly.

"Ah. Sorry." Iron Man shakes his head.

"I need to play catch-up," Steve murmurs, his eyes fastened on the floor.

I don't think anything else I've read in the fandom has brought home to me as soundly and clearly how much Steve has missed as this has. To not recognize those two names! Wow.

Thanks so much for sharing!
