The pairing needs some fluff, it needs some campy cracky fluff that just blows that chan fear out of the water.
um... no. just no.
While I don't necessarily like chan, nothing in the world makes me run away screaming faster than cross-gen fluff or crack.
The reason I like cross-gen is because it is complicated and crammed with difficulties. Making a believable, working relationship or even a believable happy ending between Harry/Scorpius takes great writing. That's the charm.
Making it fluff or turning it into crack is like taking the wonderful concept of H/D and saying 'you should make a potion/spell that makes Draco in a girl' and that way the pairing will become popular with het lovers.
I'd rather be true to the pairing and have it unpopular.
eta: but I do see your point, that sometimes a fic with 'general appeal' could open someones eyes to the pairing. :D
