Why this must be read: You know those stories that take characters in your favorite shows and stick them in high school? I bet you didn't think that they could be done well. For the longest time, I didn't either, but as it turns out: we're both dead wrong.

Because, you see, Wintertime has taken what usually turns into cliche-ridden nasty gook and made it something beautiful. The characterization is as true as ever; the prose is light enough to allow it - quite a long piece - to be read in a sitting; Geeklove scenes of note from the show are woven in seamlessly, and to make good sense within their new context.

And to top that off, the story is hilarious on a level I've never seen a highschool fic be. Greg, in particular, is spot-on in all his labratesque glory.
