tbh honestly for me it's less the underage element in and of itself so much as the tone makes it seem like they want sincere romance from it, while I tend to prefer age difference fic that engages with the potentially problematic elements of it, and tbh the age difference isn't even the only part of their relationship that makes sincere romance difficult for me.

Yeah, hope they get something they want, but the way they describe Adam's crush on Fiona as "loves her so much" and talks about Fiona being with a "younger man" rather than a teenager suggests to me that they and I would not have compatible views of the ship.

So, a good example of how underage and how to write it can be mildly polarizing even though overall YKINMKATO.
