This was a wonderful fic. I truly adored Sam's sonnet! :) I specifically liked the line "one rough diamond growing into her looks and a bright smile that shone like candles." It created such pretty imagery. But I'm with Sam: all those rules for sonnets sound insanely difficult! *lol*

“But Sam did such a good job using one of the classic themes of the sonneteers - idealized love of the perfect woman - that I was hoping he’d read it out loud for the class.”

Oh god, I cringed so much for Sam when I read that line. It's just too, too embarrassing when a teacher singles you out like that. Especially in Sam's situation.

...he was already wishing that Dad would call and tell them to meet him wherever the hell he was because at least then a monster could pull out his guts and there’d be a reason for why it hurt so much.

Aww, poor Sammy. My heart was hurting for him so badly.

The vision of Dean in tights is too hilarious! Well, on the bright side, at least he got something for his trouble. ;P

I loved how even though Sam was angry with Sally, he still kept thinking about her, caring about her. And Sally showing up to apologize in the end made for such a lovely scene.

Thank you, sweetie! ;-P

I absolutely despised writing sonnets in school, and I channeled a lot of that into Sam. Actually, Sam has more of me in him at fifteen than Sally does...which is kinda of weird when I stop to think about it; I was always the weird shy kid who read too much and I can see canon!Sam being that way until he goes to Stanford. (At least in my mind, that's sort of where he comes into his own.)

People are threatening me if I don't write that story, too... How many things can I fit into this 'verse anyway? ;-P

I really wanted to show them both making mistakes but still obviously caring enough to try and work it out. The ending scene was hard because Sally did screw up and I didn't want Sam to immediately forgive her, so I hope that worked out well in the end.
