I LOVE THIS. With the power of a thousand suns. Oh, MA, why can't Marvel do this always?! But, um, this is exactly what I was talking about wanting yesterday-- happy funtimes, and no one's dead, and people are talking and acting like functional adults! <3!!

Hooray, thanks! I've no idea. I wish they would, in MA at least. IMAGINE, PEOPLE ACTING LIKE FUNCTIONAL ADULTS. THAT NEVER HAPPENS.

:D

this is pretty belated and I am usually the kind of awful person who does not leave comments on fic but I feel it is imperative I inform you that this is fucking beautiful and I do not think I have enjoyed any item of fanfiction as much as this piece of brilliance at any point in the last year

I kind of want to stuff it up my shirt to keep me warm and happy during these horrid winter months but will just have to reread it more often than is really normal instead

why are you so fabulous

[iambickilometer]

Belated comments are really not an issue at all, no worries. but wow. I'm flattered. Thank you so much, I'm really glad I could provide you with something to read that brings you that much joy.

You could print it out and stuff a pillow with it? :D

I am not at all sure, but I'm glad you see it that way

(also, your icon. I love it. and feel so goddamn inspired.)

Finally got around to reading this, and it's just delightful! So many little things made me grin -- Steve not knowing what "badass" means, Tony's secret identity issues, the "younger, sociable Daredevil" concept, the fact that Jan, in a search for female members, also talked to Warren Worthington... it's all awesome. I love how this unfolds, setting up the Marvel Adventures U as we know it, and the glimpses we get into everyone's character. Lovely work.

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it, thanks! It was a real blast to write, especially those little details you mentioned. The Spidey-as-a-younger-and-more-sociable-Daredevil was what helped me make the story work, actually. (I was on the fence about including Warren, but Jan had to know him, and he's totally "one of the girls".) I was trying to come up with more female characters of colour that Jan could've known, but unfortunately I drew a blank while writing it.

Now, what I really want is to read about that race.
