About Kid Fic
Children enter the picture: characters raising their canon kids, adopting strays the plot drops on them, or suddenly co-parenting a de-aged teammate. Kid fic turns heroes and antiheroes into parents and mines the comedy and tenderness of the adjustment.
There is a particular joy in watching a hardened character go soft over a six-year-old, and co-parenting remains one of fandom's most efficient romance accelerants.
Common scenarios: Two avengers jointly raising a child the battle orphaned, or a single chapter of a feared swordsman attending a kindergarten recital.
