   Summary

   The first in a three part series starting off with Spencer and Sam meeting at Stanford (unrelated to the previous series, Spencer Meets the Winchesters) and falling in love. Spencer is working his way through a degree in psychology after already getting his doctorates at Caltech and absolutely adamant about not making friends and Sam is three years into his pre-law degree and determined to be an exception to Spencer's 'no-friend' rule. Our tale kicks off as a retelling as Dean comes knocking to whisk Sam away to find their missing dad.
