>>3133383"A little too Law and Order SVU" is a good way to describe it. If it was going to be an explorative work about early childhood sexual abuse, it should have been labeled as such from the start. The moment I realized what was probably going to be the backdrop for the story, the whole thing became an exhausting Very Special Episode.
The reason I wondered if it was an ironic rec is because the Lifetime tier portrayals of the characters didn't seem at all equitable or even relatable to the Tony / Peter dynamic that anon was suggesting people might dig. Precocious sexual risk-taking is common in actual abuse victims, sure, but why would that be something anon thought "captured the actor's portrayal"?
Just struck me as a weird rec to give without context. The author of the fic clearly wanted to do an exercise in characterizing CSA and simply utilized Tony and Peter as characters, and the bare bones concept of their dynamic, as vehicles. Which is fine, but not something I'd toss out as a recommendation to people who want to read, specifically, fanfiction of established characters.
