Summary
That spring Steve hears a lot about what’s big in algebraic topology from Mary as she talks a mile a minute in the car passenger seat, across the dinner table, under worn-out beach umbrellas or climbing up him like he’s still her favorite jungle gym though she’s almost too big now. What he gathers mostly is that, in order to classify shapes, mathematicians spend a lot of time trying to distinguish between differences that matter and those that don’t.
And isn’t that the trick in life, thinks Steve: figuring out what matters.
(Doesn’t help in explaining Bucky, though, but he’s not sure what would.)

Or: Steve as the single dad from Gifted and Bucky as the DJ from Monday. Sort of.
