I really like how they decided to shift things in this. Also Eggsy is pretty adorable with his sister and I really enjoy Harry’s reactions.[3]

Its a good fic that is an AU where Eggsy joins Kingsman in a slightly different fashion/way than the movie. Its a Fix-It AU that has many cute moments in it. Plus, its a fic by esama! I haven’t read too many fics by this author in the fandoms of my choice that I haven’t liked.[4]

care and custody by esama. THE kingsman fic to rule all kingsman fics. not joking when i say this is my fave of all time, ive reread it multiple times and will do so again. eggsy becomes harry’s valet rather than an agent, and then... maybe more[5]

i know. i know youve already probably read this it’s the highest kudo-sed kingsman fic on ao3. but it’s just that good. i followed this fic as a WIP from ch1 and it’s so good. esama just has a very succinct style that draws u in. read their other fics it’s all so so so good.[6]

It is just such a good fix-it and an interesting AU of what could have happened if some things had been slightly different.[7]

This one is the first fic I read in Kingsman fandom, and it set the mark really high. I'm not that big a fan of kid fic usually, but I love how Eggsy takes on the task of raising his sister and how all of his decisions always have her as his priority.[8]
