>> I thoroughly enjoyed this addition to your series. <<
I'm happy to hear this.
>> Your focus on the characters caring for and about each other makes this a delight to read. <<
It's the characterization and relationships that intrigue me. I write original stuff this way too.
>> Also, I really get a lot out of the notes and links you put at the end of each chapter. I know it must take a lot of work, so know that it's appreciated. Thank you for sharing this. <<
*bow, flourish* Happy to be of service!
Yes, it does take a lot of work. I use fanfic for practice. One thing I'm experimenting with is the amount and style of notes to use on fictional pieces that need them. It's something I carried over from my nonfiction writing, and use in series that have obscure or controversial topics. This one, people really went nuts over the notes so I've expanded the service. That has led to me doing more notes in the work I'm writing for sale. You can see examples of the results in Polychrome Heroics.
>> I really like the growing relationships between Phil and JARVIS, and between Bucky and Tony. <<
I'm happy to hear that. Both of those get further development in later stories.
>> I especially like the way you focus on the way people can be physically intimate without having to involve sex in the matter. <<
This is something I often explore in my writing. There are so many other kinds of relationships, and they rarely get attention because Romance hogs the spotlight. Some of the Avengers have complications regarding sex, though, so they really need other ways to connect.
