Never Say Never

Written for skategreat's cliché challenge, prompt #92, kid!fic. This started out as comment fic and then we clearly got a little bit carried away. Many thanks to unlurkster for the very speedy, last-minute beta; any and all remaining mistakes are entirely mine. Title

Oh man, this is so adorable and sweet. SWEET AND ADORABLE. You have managed to put a huge huge huge grin on my face.

[nova33]

Oh, thank you! And yay for managing to put a grin on your face!

I was waiting DESPERATELY for this fic. Please continue to write out every single family interaction they ever, ever have. This is beyond amazing and perfect. *_____*

Well, there are so many things to cover...birthdays, Halloween, Easter, Thanksgiving, summer vacation...the list goes on!

I am really glad you liked this, especially after waiting so desperately. Thanks for the lovely comment. ♥

“This is terribly romantic,” Johnny says as he steps over a leftover piece of cake. He means for it to come out sarcastic, but it sounds more sincere than anything else.

Love this line so, so much! In fact, I adore this entire story!

[nova33]

Oh, thank you! I'm glad you liked that line; it's one of my favourites.

Ohhhhh. This is EVERYTHING I love. Kidfic! Prom shenanigans! Awesome sulky teenagers! Accidental parents! Falling in love without meaning too! Oh, boys. I had a really crappy day and this made my heart SING. Lovely, lovely work.

Thank you so much! I'm very glad to be able to brighten up your crappy day (which sucks, by the way, I'm sorry!) with all sorts of ridiculous things. I'm also glad that we appreciate all the same tropes!

[nova33]

Thank you so much! I'm glad to have brightened your day, and I'm also glad that you appreciate all the same tropes we love!

Loved this!!! You set up the situation so well, without any nasty drama involving the mother. I loved Caleb's scandalized looks, and Johnny's insistence that nothing was happening! lol. But most of all, this very last line really touched me: He can pretend that he’s eighteen again and wore a fabulous suit with a fabulous bowtie and fabulous shoes to his prom, and that he went with a boy - with Evan Lysacek, of all people - and that they had an excellent time. Lovely ♥

Full credit for the set-up goes to alex_boylove, who is definitely soemthing of a genius. I'm glad you liked their characterizations and that line. Thanks so much for reading and for the lovely comment. ♥
