Special Theme Week - The Week of March 21 - Celebrating Neal’s Birthday

[elrhiarhodan]

In Ancient History, we learned that Neal's birthday is March 21 (and he's an Aries). For the entire week (March 21 – March 27), wcredux is asking for recommendations for stories featuring Neal-as-child or Kid!Neal (de-aged) fanworks.

Same rules apply to Special Theme Weeks - one story that you've written, and it must be at least six month old (written before September, 2014).

You can always recommend as many fanworks from other creators as you want to (but do check to see that they haven't yet been rec'd here on wcredux), and they must also be at least six month old.

Posts for this Special Theme Week will remain open until 11:59 PM on March 27. Afterwards, your mods will collect the recommendations and add them to the master list.

Why should people re-read this story?: This is one of my personal favorites. The lyrics to the song that it’s based on just fit the windows of Neal’s life. It was written for elrhiarhodan’s birthday last year and was a wonderful partnership with kanarek13 who created incredible art from my ramblings in chat.
