The book in your hand borrows its title
from Little Wars by HG Wells, 1913,
a rulebook for playing with toy soldiers.

★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★

The particular Little Wars
which lends its title to the one in your hand
is a well-preserved first edition
belonging to Steven Grant Rogers.

He displays it among nine lead Doughboys
atop his bookshelf somewhere in New York,
sometime or other within the confines
of the 21st century.

"Little Wars...can be played by boys of every age from twelve to one hundred and fifty—and even later if the limbs remain sufficiently supple..."
HG Wells, 1913

NOTES FOR READERS
STEVE/FEMALE OC
This Steve is super dorky. I can't stress this enough: huge dork warning.

MCU CENTERED, BUT NO SPECIFIC TIME/MOVIE/EVENT (EVERYONE LIVES AU)

THANOS DIED FROM PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO PURPLE PAINT FUMES IN 2011 IN THIS UNIVERSE IDK RIP

SLOW BURN... SLOWWWW, SLOWWWW, SLOWWWW BURN... DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU ARE NOT UP FOR WAITING A LONGGGGGG TIME FOR TENSION RELIEF. THE❗️BURN❗️IS❗️SLOW‼️

CONTENT WARNINGS
CANON TYPICAL VIOLENCE; STRONG LANGUAGE

SENSITIVE THEMES:
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, TRAUMA

SEXUAL HARASSMENT

MISOGYNY
Maisie has internalized her negative experiences, and sometimes her thoughts toward herself are objectifying, demeaning, shaming, etc. She also has some negative body image thoughts.

EXPLICIT SEX SCENES
SOFT DOM STEVE (SERIOUSLY SO SOFT AND FLUFFY.)

DISCUSSIONS OF PAST ABUSE
SEXUAL ASSAULT & COERCION
PHYSICAL ABUSE, DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
None of this happens in-scene, but there are some details given via recollection and fragmented flashbacks.

I write with an assumption that the reader is an adult, and mature enough to have an independent understanding of adult romantic and sexual relationships. This book is not educational, instructive, or didactic regarding any of the topics listed above, or for that matter, any topic at all. It's just a comfort fantasy. The only purpose is to fantasize. I wrote this for myself. 18+
