>> I just started reading this series last night and I couldn't stop until I finished. <<
Thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying this so much. I have a lot of other writing both here and some on AO3 if you want more.
>> It is very captivating and I love the relationships and I love Uncle Phil. <<
Yay! I wanted to explore those aspects because when you put a group together, that creates a tie between each person and every other person. The Avengers are different things to each other and that affects how they work together. Uncle Phil is basically the hub of the wheel that keeps them stable.
>> I also wanted to thank you, I have a big age difference with my sister and reading fanfiction is one of the only ways we can communicate with each other.<<
I'm glad I could help with that.
By the way, it's a relationship common in one of my fantasy cultures, the tribe of Waterjewel. I work with constructed languages so I have the vocabulary for it:
jeyan (noun) – In Waterjewel use, means “sibling parent,” “mother-sister,” or “father-brother.” Elves commonly have children decades apart, so that the older sibling is an adult by the time the next is born. Older siblings often help their parents raise the younger ones, and in such cases the term for the older sibling is jeyan. The related term for the youngster is kiyin (“child sibling”).
>> This series has been part of our discussions for a while now. She has been trying to get me to read it for a while. <<
I'm pleased that it's worth recommending!
>> I am truly glad I read this not only for the entertainment value and the characters that suck you into their world and make you laugh and cry with them, <<
That's one of my goals in writing this series ...
>> but for giving me and my sister another subject to talk about. It is rare that we find a series we love this much and can talk to each other about it as much as we have and will continue to do. <<
... but this is another, encouraging folks to spend time with friends and family. Yay!
