Fic? Did I mention fic? The girl I'm talking about is an artist, not a fic writer. But yeah her shit pops up pretty much the moment you type in Six/Rex. She's really popular because she emulates the style of the show really well and churns out a decent amount of stuff for the series even now.

Anyway, the age difference didn't bother me much but then that flashback episode happened where Rex was even younger and I went, "Okay, this is weird, let's go back to the present." Didn't stop me shipping grown up Rex with Six, but it made me more aware than ever how much of an age difference there was between the two.
Mmmmhhhmmm. I'm a fic writer (I know writing a fic for this series now is pretty pointless but I still plan on writing up something! It will make my friend happy anyway. :D) and that episode made me more conscious of how carefully I'm going to have to tread with regards to the age difference. I mean, Rex is like six months away from being 18 at the end of the series so it's not that weird at that point but these two would definitely have a hard time navigating between a romantic/sexual relationsihp and Six's more bodyguard like role. The only thing that really saves it is that their relationship doesn't have any parental vibes.

Nah, you didn't mention fic, that was my incorrect assumption. Oops! (Is there not much decent fic, then? Maybe I should search AO3 again...)
ANYWAY, thanks for the link! I like her style; it's simple but looks very reminiscent of the show art, which is good! I'm not a major fan of the younger Rex and Six drawings even though there's nothing sexual going on, but she's got the right style for this particular series.
IDK man, if you wrote a fic I would probably read it! As long as you advertised it or I remembered to look. I was really into the idea of those two the entire run of the show and I never saw much about them. As long as you acknowledged the age difference (it's even weirder when people just act like it doesn't exist) it would be okay.
It would be different though, for sure. Anytime a friendship or some other type of relationship takes a romantic turn there's some differences, but like you said, at least Six isn't anything even remotely like a father figure to Rex. (If he were, my feelings on the pairing would most likely be extremely different.)
