fic: for now we are young
fandom: the social network
pairing: mark/eduardo
notes: for the kinkmeme prompt: Set post-movie. Eduardo is de-aged for whatever reason and Mark has to take care of him.
title's from neutral milk hotel and is obvious lol whatevs okay its a kinkmeme story
warnings: references to abuse, angsty crack mixed with kid fluff

( It's six AM when he gets the call. He's still in the office, thirteen hours into a coding tear, and his eyes are practically bleeding. The shrill sound of his ringtone makes him jump. Dustin set it to )

Oh. This is the loveliest thing. I'm a huge fan of the way you made all the elements flow seamlessly together, little sidenotes from the movie that all came together so nicely. This -
He grabs a roll of paper towels once Eduardo's left, mops up the puddle, and it won't stop repeating in his head- my father does it with the belt. My father does it with the belt.
Oh, no. Just, devastating. And the way it all - at the end, uh, yeah. Just. I really liked it an awful lot.

Ummmmmm <333333 De-aged fics are my guilty pleasure and I am SO glad that somebody went ahead and did one for TSN, especially one as well-done and entertaining as this one. Poor little Eduardo. I thought you got Mark perfectly, like he wants to take care of Eduardo but just doesn't know how. I loved it. <33

I usually don't like de-aging fics very much, but that was all kinds of adorable and just the right mixture of angsty and sweet.
