This story is a sequel to "Love Is for Children," "Eggshells," "Dolls and Guys," "Saudades," and "Turnabout Is Fair Play."

Fandom: The Avengers
Characters: Phil Coulson, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanova, Tony Stark, Bruce Banner, Steve Rogers, JARVIS, Betty Ross.
Medium: Fiction
Warnings: No standard warnings apply.
Summary: Clint messes up his back while testing some new archery equipment. Bruce offers to fix his back for him.
Notes: Asexual character (Clint). Aromantic character (Natasha). Asexual relationship. Teamwork. Flangst. Fear of vulnerability. Trust issues. Skin hunger. Hurt/comfort. Non-sexual touching and intimacy. Non-sexual ageplay. Cuteness. Personal growth. Family of choice.

If you've been reading this series for the fluffy ageplay, that's the last two parts of the story.  There's a bit of angst up front and then a great deal of mostly soothing bodywork in the middle.

A note on feedback: While it's not necessary to comment on every post I make, remember that I don't know who reads/likes things if nobody says anything. Particularly on long stories, I've discovered that I get antsy if there's nothing but crickets chirping for several posts. So it helps to give me feedback at least once, even if it's just "I like this" or "This one doesn't grab me."

Skip to Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8.
There is now a sequel, "Splash."

"Squiggles: Excerpts from Nleimen's Journal"

1504.08.01

I am so busy!  This school year has been lots of fun.  I am ready for the last trimester, though.  My project is coming together.  I have kept up with it, not like some students in my class who goofed off during the vacations.  Now they're running behind.  I don't care -- I will score higher than them because I'm working harder.

For the first time, I bred two squiggle mice together and their whole litter is curly!  According to my books, this means the gene that makes the fur curl must be recessive.  So the pup needs one gene from its mother and one from its father.  I think Jiju is what the glossary calls a "sport" -- he just turned out that way even though his parents had flat coats. 

I am still keeping most of the squiggles for my project, but I am giving a few of them to friends.  The other people who like fancy pets just love the squiggle mice and I am the only person who has them, except for the one I traded to the pet store.  So now everybody wants to talk to me about my mice!  I think Egram is getting jealous.  I'll make it up to him, though.  I got invited to a garden party some of the fanciers are throwing, and I'm going to take Egram with me since he gave me my first mice.
