So Connor and Sam were going to Stanford at the same time.... Can you imagine the happy well-adjusted Connor - who had all his horrible memories, but could deal with them because of the false memories he was given - and Sam meeting? They'd both feel there's something slightly off and non-human about the other, and neither would know what to make of the other.
Yes! I thought of this too when they said Conner went to Stanford. AND Veronica Mars went to Stanford, too, so I just imagine Sam and V hangingout, being awesome, solving cases with the paritcular set of skills they picked up in HS shadowing their fathers' weird jobs... jsadlkfja;sldkjfa;lkj
I want V x Sam fics so much.
And I love what you said about Conner and Sam. That would be an interesting thing to see play out.
