How different would Caro and Johnny's lives be if they had kind and supportive parents? Would they have started dating much earlier?
this is an interesting one, i might draw an art for it when i have time, but my first reaction was to wonder if they would even have dated at ALL if they had happy home lives. That maybe their relationship in school was a trauma response, running into each others arms cuz they both had something the other understood and also because it wasn't allowed and that tends to make you want something more. i DO like to think every universe they'd find eachother and be in love, but with the canon story, and how difficult they are finding navigating their relationship as adults because of all the closure issues and pressure from when they were teens, im curious if they actually would have dated much later if things had been good. He'd have gone on to be a small time rock star, and Caro would have transitioned with love and support, that I know for sure. But as far as relationships went, my gut instinct says they'd reconnect down the line, older, wiser and have an actual healthy relationship instead of a co-dependent one as adults.
i dunno though, ill have to think about it more. its a fun idea!
