OMG BFF!! BFF!!! I love them! This is awesome.

I'm so glad that you liked it -- knowing how much you love these characters and the show, that's a great compliment, thank you!

This is charming and sweet. Loved the ending especially -- all leaders need to be good teachers, after all. "Educator in Chief" and "Leader of the Resistance" -- John is certain to be a success! *g*

Thank you for sharing.

[ancarett]

Thanks for your kind words! T2 did emphasize how John reached out to the older terminator and teach him to be more human. I figured this story could bring some of that same element forward for John and Cameron.

[ancarett]

Yeah, I figured that BSG would be a really dysfunctional and painful parallel for the Connor family!

"Boy and his terminator" -- bingo! Hee!

This was great! The first SCC fic I've ever read, too. Yay! And your Cameron was perfect. :-)

[ancarett]

Aw, thanks so much! I think that Cameron's a fascinating character if a bit intimidating to write since she's stiff yet simultaneously childlike and adamant, all at the same time.

Aaaaawwwww.

And nu-BSG would not be John's cup of tea at all. Little too much realism. Poor kid.

Yeah, I don't think he'd be a big fan of our other show. Pity, but maybe they'll have better fun with Wonder Woman. *snerk* Or they could trying renting TOS BSG! *chortles*
