>>I have been looking for this fic since I got into the fandom.<<
W00T! That's quite a compliment.
>>I wanted nonsexual ageplay, and I wanted it to be used in just this way. The Avengers are good people at heart, but so damaged.<<
What got me thinking nonsexual ageplay for them is that they're all broken, most of them from child abuse. It's a way to get around Natasha's "Love is for children" premise, but that applies to more than just her. There's a lot of overlap in how they were broken, so it meshes very well.
>>I have only one problem, and that's the lack of Pepper. Pepper/Tony is my OTP for this fandom, and I wish she were here, but everything else is lovely.<<
This series pretty much drives itself, and it focuses strongly on internal group dynamics. There's very little outside that, although other people figure in occasionally. This version of Tony is shallow and promiscuous when it comes to romance -- I get the impression that he honestly tried with Pepper, but they're better friends than lovers.
If you want an Avengers story with Pepper and Tony that easily reads as Pepperony, try "Saving the Heroes."
>>I completely agree with so much about what you've done here, and your characterizations. Again, you've written the fic I have been wanting to read for ages, and done such a good job of it. When I found it, I thought you must be psychic, seriously.<<
Yay! *chuckle* It's not my psychic talents I'm using here, but rather my literary analytic ones. I mine fanfic to identify things that people want, that they aren't getting. Sometimes I experiment with the new ideas by writing fanfic. Sometimes I load things into my original canons instead. So if you find things here that you like, you can usually find more with a similar flavor elsewhere in my work. The ageplay is new, but given how popular it is, I may try it again elsewhere. The teamwork and family aspects are things I do all the time.
Thank you!
