I dunno, I think for the genre you ended up writing it worked well! If it was on the angstier side (closer to Some Things Last) I’d see how more scenes with them getting to know each other would be important. Learning Curve is a bit lighter on the angst, though. Sam’s got issues and I wanted to cuddle him but it felt like he’d gotten over the worst of them by the time Cas came along, if that makes sense?

No, yeah, Sam was mostly past those kind of issues by the time he met Cas. He was a little nervous about dating but that’s probably just something he would’ve felt no matter who I wound up pairing him with. It’s definitely way less angsty than Some Things Last. It’s more of a fluff piece, honestly. But yeah, if Cas would’ve met Sam during his law school days there would have been an assload more angst and much more roadblocks for the two of them.
