chordatesrockFANDOM: Marvel Cinematic Universe
FIC LINK: Love Is For Children (link goes to the AO3 series main page; see also the Dreamwidth version, because the comment discussions there have turned interesting lately)
AUTHOR LINK:ysabetwordsmith
RATING/WARNING(S): There are warnings and other content notes in the tags on AO3 and the headers on DW. The entire series is rated G but contains occasional possibly-disturbing material of a nonsexual nature that doesn't usually have to do with violence or other standard warnings.
WIP?/WORD COUNT: Nine completed works, one WiP (apparently completed and being updated three times per week). The completed works together total over 156,000 words.
MAIN CHARACTERS: Phil Coulson, Tony Stark, Clint Barton, Natasha Romanova, Bruce Banner, and Steve Rogers at first. Later on, Betty Ross, Hulk and Bucky Barnes.
FIC SUMMARY: The Avengers pretend to be kids and play kiddie games as a way to learn to trust each other and work through their super-sized (pun intended) baggage. Later on, they also take care of each other in other ways. It's very much a series about fixing things.
RECCER'S NOTES: The characters cry a bit more than I find plausible, but no, no one's utterly woobified. Certainly they're more IC than the premise would seem to suggest, and no, no one lisps. At most, there's the very occasional "'kay" instead of "okay". The strengths of this series are in showcasing care, how needs are met, and how to deal with problems constructively. The series's main theme is probably psychological healing. It probably sounds like it's not your thing. Try it anyway. Read the first fic, Love Is For Children, and see if the rest of the series appeals to you. My personal favorite is Splash. Birthday Girl is the one where Natasha Romanova has a birthday party, and there's so much buildup that it's actually plausible. Also, Fury is a dick in this fic. Note that Guys and Dolls does contain minimal mostly-implied romance (nothing that actually happens on-screen couldn't be platonic, though). Heads-up that Hide and Seek is very YMMV in terms of quality, and Eggshells might hit some squicks even if you like the rest of the series.
