Author's Response:
Thanks...
I really couldn't think of any other way to end it, sadly...

I confess, I was confused by the "Boy type" comment. If Dean had flat out asked, "Ranma?" when he saw the fingernail polish. And can I just say how much of a freaking spaz I was for Ranma 1/2 back in the day? Everything about Ryouga made me laugh like a loon.
This was really bittersweet. That blow-up fight between Dean and Sally when she made that comment about John -- ouch that was painful, but completely understandable, on both sides. And then poor Sammy having to say goodbye...
You really do know how to tug at the heartstrings!

*I confess, I was confused by the "Boy type" comment.*
Heh. I was referring specifically to some t-shirts that were produced some time ago - either "Boy Type" or "Girl Type" with a picture of the associated Ranma. ;)
That's my esoteric reference for the story.
*This was really bittersweet.*
The conclusion was inevitable when I started writing it, but I had to write it anyway once the idea crept into my head. I did want to explore the concept of "normal" - both from Sam's yearnings and from how an outsider would see their lives. Given Sally's own father and Sam's bitterness, it wasn't a stretch for her to go the "deadbeat dad" route.
Few scenes have been as difficult for me to write as the final scene in this one.
*You really do know how to tug at the heartstrings!*
One does one's best - though I would also posit that the Winchesters themselves lend themselves to angst mixed up with everything else...

I don't know how it is that I missed this one -- stupid, stupid me.
First chapter's positively adorable. And Dean ordering the skank out of his car is exactly how I expected him to react. People think he's callous, but Sam's his achilles heel. That ho might as well have said all those things to Sam.
I'm grinning like such a dork right now.
And props to you for adding 'yo' after saying Jack Black rocks. Can't say I agree with you (he rubs me the wrong way), but the 'yo' thing is a particular favourite of mine, especially coming from white-as-white-gets girls like us. lol.

Author's Response:
Not stupid. I was, in my enthusiastic glee, posting my backlog of stories much more frequently than I probably should have. Wouldn't doubt if I scared some folks off, between the number of stories and the length of my chapters.
Oh, and the het. ;)
All that aside, I have been amazed at the reaction this story has received. I wrote it over a year ago and I still have folks telling me that it makes them grin like dorks. So, mission accomplished. I worked hard to make the boys our boys, so...
*And props to you for adding 'yo' after saying Jack Black rocks.*
Well, he can be hit or miss for me. I loved him in "School of Rock" because of his chemistry with the kids.

I loved this story!! Very well done.

Author's Response: Thank you so much!

This is one of the greatest love stories in Sams world of truth. I am glad that its not quit as quivering as Romeo and Juliet.

Author's Response:
Thank you! I was, as mentioned earlier, rather pleased about this story once I finished it. I thought the OFC was strong enough to hold her own with the boys and I worked hard to extrapolate what they would be like in high school based on their S1 personalities.
Your comments are entirely too kind. ;)

A Very Cool and Outstanding Metaphor. The story was an acheviment.
Besides, I am more of a fan to Sam then Dean. I do like his character, but I have more connection for Sam (he's cute and tall . . . buff) now, when it comes to Dean (he's cute and mid short . . . is an eating machine.)
I love both, but I'm in love with Sammy . . . so, I don't think I should pat you on the back for the conquestidaro of Sam, but this story really rocked.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I was really pleased with how this one came out, even if the narrative POV and the language drove me crazy. ;-P

ouch i gotta say that last bit was hard to read. i know breaking up with the first is hard - especially near a special or important time in someones life. (mine happened the day after i started uni EVER) and reading this brought back memories. it was good i enjoyed it.

Author's Response:
That last bit was hard as heck to write, and there were a couple of days where I didn't think I was going to manage it. I'm sorry if it brought up bad memories, though.
Thank you so much for your kinds words. I must sincerely apologize, however, for not responding sooner.

Wow! What a great story! Heartbreaking romance -- Well done!

Author's Response:
Thank you! I knew the ending was inevitable when I started writing it but it was definitely something that wanted to be told. ;)
And my apologies for not responding sooner. I'm usually more diligent than this...

Very good! Poor Sammy. I liked Math Girl.

Author's Response:
Thank you! I'm more than a little fond of Math Girl myself - she shows up in a couple of pre-series stories that I've written.
And my apologies for not responding sooner. Life gets crazy when you get sick. ;)

Awww! That was sweet! And sad! And I liked it very much!
