Emil Robertson is a little special with emphasis on the "little." He's twenty-two years old and has a unique family situation. "Unique" doesn't always mean "good," and it certainly does not hold positive connotations for Emil's situation. But he's got an amazing big sister and good parents that take care of him. Or at least, that's what Emil forced himself to believe about his parents for years until his sister brought home a man who becomes his savior. And that man will help Emil become more mentally stable with being the guiding hand in his life as well as becoming the love of his life and vice versa. ________________ WARNINGS: Abuse (not perpetuated by the main characters) Child abuse (mentions) Kidnapping - attempted and successful (not perpetuated by the main characters) Psychological problems PTSD and general trauma Age-regression Daddy Dom/Little Boy (DDLB) Dominant/Submissive Good things: Overcoming mental health issues Fluffy gay romance Emotional healing Sweet friendships New family members A little smut Side note: This story does not sexualize real littles.
