I adore this. The attention to small details, the theme of smell, the domestic bliss, the Bobby-ness of it, it's absolutely wonderful, and it doesn't read false like so many gay-family fics do (I don't think gay families ring false, just many times the characters pushed into it)

[ruggerdavey]

Thanks so much. I'm glad you like it.

I understand what you mean about forcing it - not everyone fits wiht kids, after all. And, really, Bobby is just at that place, and he's just that kind of guy. He's definitely father-material, which I think makes it easier to portray.

[vampirespider]

That might be it. You definitely have a point about the characters - I just can't see Lex and Clark having children, or Draco and Harry.

[ruggerdavey]

Heh. Well, there's a Lex and Clark in my head that do as they live happily ever after, but Lex and Clark don't live happily ever after, so we all know how in character the two that live in my head are.

[vampirespider]

Hee, I know what you mean. But I can see them getting married (AU and all), just the baby thing gets me.

[ruggerdavey]

Hmmm, yeah, I can understand that.

Well also, for Bobby it's canon, albeit cutting room floor canon. So that adds cred to the idea.

[ruggerdavey]

True enough.
