>> Aw, Flip! I never even thought of that, that Bucky being "Uncle Buck" would give Phil the chance to slide down with his littles occasionally. <<
There have been times when Flip has come out, with the team to watch over him, but this is the first that he's been little with them. Bucky is in a unique position with the team, and that makes it feasible for him to stay Big while the others switch down, without feeling that anyone is getting left out. It adds flexibility.
>> That must be such a relief for Phil, to know that he can slide down without making (well, asking, but it would feel the same to him) any of his littles stay big. <<
Sooth. It's still a bit challenging for him to navigate through agespace, but he's getting better at it. This new option helps.
>> And, because you always ask: I liked this one. <<
Thank you!
>> I enjoyed all the different parts of it, both the ones that brought back memories of things I had or did (like Natka & Betty playing "girl games" together) and the ones that brought back memories I things I didn't have or do (like have a pet tarantula; my mom said no). <<
We often resonate with parts of a story that touch our own memories.
>> I especially liked see Natka experiencing "kid" things for the first time, and super-controlled Phil dealing with his feelings about Natka's pet. <<
Those are both examples of how agespace can make someone more malleable and more receptive to emotional processing. What would've taken considerably more work for Phil is a lot easier for Flip.
>> The fic did feel a little disjointed at times, but I think that was mostly because I was reading it as you posted. I need to go back to reading these when they're complete, no matter how much it frustrates to have to wait while you post them. <<
That's understandable. If I post much more than 1000 words at a time, it can hangfire the blog. 500-word installments for shorter stories and 1000-word installments for longer ones is convenient for blogging ... but they're written as whole stories, so yes, the 'chop' effect is real too. Feel free to read them as whole pieces after they're complete. If you want more of my work in the interim, you can always hit the Poetry tag. I post new poetry fairly often too.
Thank you!
