>> Thank you for this. Age play in general is something that I'm either uninterested in (sexual age play) <<
Same here, actually.
>> or pretty neutral (non-sexual age play) about, though I freely admit that I haven't tried the latter a lot.<<
I had no interest in ageplay until Natasha said, "Love is for children," and it hit me that all the Avengers had serious childhood challenges for various reasons. They could all use a chance to go back and fix what's broke or make up what they missed. It is purely nonsexual. There isn't even a lot of sexual reference in the non-ageplay parts.
There is very little nonsexual ageplay, which I think is kind of sad, because it actually can be a great tool for people with crappy childhoods. Plus, nobody ever seems to get all the things even in a good one. I was an adult friend's first experience decorating Easter eggs once. We were going to do some for an event, he mentioned that he'd never decorated any as a kid, and I said, "Well, we're going to fix that right now." It wasn't exactly ageplay, but definitely had a whimsical mood.
>> So I may give your stories a trial run despite not being my usual fare.<<
If you look at the comments, you'll see a LOT of people who aren't usually ageplay fans but loved this series. YMMV, but statistics suggest it's worth a peek. Later on, there's a lot more content outside of the ageplay, too.
If LIFC doesn't grab you, Schrodinger's Hulk has no ageplay (LIFC is the only thing I've written that does).
>> Also, I'm super impressed with the sheer breadth and length of the 'verse you've created.<<
I am actually a professional wordsmith. I just do fanfic for fun. If you're into worldbuilding, check out my original superhero series Polychrome Heroics or the Shared Worlds.
>> And I really support the premise of Avengers as found family who will actually get to care for each other.<<
LIFC has truckloads of that.
>> The canon was a disappointment in that regard.<<
The canon was a complete clusterfuck, and the least-worst thing I have to say about Civil War is "This is what happens when you leave a bunch of traumatized superheroes on duty 24/7 with no mental care. They will snap and you will regret it."
Endgame was the last Marvel movie I will ever watch. They don't get to treat me like that.
Also, my fans keep saying they like my fanfic better than Marvel canon, so I am content with that.
